40% OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS OVERSTAYED VISAS
Breitbart.com ^ | April 9, 2013 | William Bigelow

Roughly 40% of the 11 million undocumented workers in the United States are foreigners who came legally mostly through visas but have overstayed the length of the visas or overstayed their legal residence here, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. These immigrants did not cross the U.S. border with stealth but rather obeyed the laws when they arrived. The scant hard evidence about this group indicates that they are better educated than non-visa illegal immigrants, and often speak English with greater fluency. They also tend to emigrate from Europe, Asia and Africa, rather than Central and South America. In many cases, they used tourist visas to enter the U.S.

I heard this statistic in Trey Gowdy's hearing on illegal immigration yesterday. All the talk about Hispanics but seems there are many "other" illegals that will get sucked into our society. Think of all the "groups" of people that have over-stayed their visas. Could be deflection going on.

The Fat Cat Bureaucrats at ICE don’t have time to check expiring visas, between partying, registering the foreign invaders (not supposed to call them illegal aliens anymore) to vote, and wasting OUR money!

I’ve always wondered why foreigners don’t just hop on a plane and say they are just here on vacation and then just stay. Why risk your life crossing the desert in summer?

Apparently many are doing just that.

40% OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS OVERSTAYED VISAS

The author should explain why illegal immigrants bothered to get a visa in the first place.

The system works great. The federal government imports foreigners on visas, they stay here illegally and are never checked on, and then the government whines that there a millions of “undocumented immigrants living in the shadows” and they must be allowed to stay so they can vote Democrat.

Find enough ignorant GOP senators to join in this kabuki theater, and the Dems can have another 50 year reign as they did after FDR.

The other 60% of the 25+ Million Illegals ( not 11 million), don’t need no stinkin’ visas.

If you are flying from Portugal or someplace then you need a VISA to get here by plane.

Some countries have a “visa waiver” agreement where you can stay for up to 30 months with NO visa, but you do have to apply for it.

Then you just fly here, and stay.

Damn lying parrots.

First of all, these numbers are fictitious, the media does not know how many illegal aliens are in the U.S..

The reports several years back were around 18 to 20 million illegals. When the push for amnesty comes around, the media dumbs down the number to make it just a tad more palatable to the American people...at least they believe so.

Illegal Mexican, central and South Americans have been pouring into this country since the last big democrat push for amnesty back in the early 80’s.

Fact is, when amnesty is eventually passed in this country for the “millions” of illegals now here, they will be eligible under this immigration legislation to bring up to four of their family members here legally...Do the math!

This will destroy the middle class. The majority of these folks are impoverished in their home countries and will come here and make poverty level wages.

This will lead to a number of social/economic issues here in this country, causing this great world lifeboat to take on water and in time...sink.

This great influx of the worlds poor will overwhelm our infrastructure and our social welfare programs.

What really chaps my hide, after coming here, they will begin to enjoy what all Americans just look forward to...filing their 1040 forms. The hitch you see will be a large percentage of these new “below poverty wage” immigrants will be able to file for the “earned income tax credit.”

Now, do the math once again. Hundreds of millions of dollars in free tax money given to our new illegal/now legal and family members over a ten year period.

Makes me queasy to think about it. Gotta ask yourself, why would our government do this to it's own citizens? Why would they intentionally erode the middle class like this? Why would the republican party vote for immigration policy that will send the party into extinction?

Why?

If it is true that 40% of the illegals arrived in the US with visas, then that would put the number who crossed the border illegally at around 7 million.

Then how does one explain the growing number of Mexicans all around the country? The census puts the “Hispanic” (I.e., predominantly Mexican) population in the US at 50 million. There were not 50 million Hispanics in the US 20 years ago. Where did they all come from? They certainly weren’t born here.

is the State Dept. still issuing “diversity visas” to people from Yemen and other countries that many terrorists come from?

Why?

Easy. The GOP serves the Globalist Agenda. The Globalists have always planned to crush the White Christian Middle-class, who want their guns, their rights, and prosperity. We are too much trouble and don't want to be lorded over. Mestizo peons are much more compliant and manageable.

It’s been very obvious that they have been doing this for years. The most shocking thing is that this is suddenly news. I’m actually surprised that it is only 40%.

If, and I say this with much speculation, 40% of illegal aliens came here legally with Visas but "overstayed," then this is a very easy problem to solve: contact those who applied, pick the, up and send them back to their countries of origin.

As the vast numbers of Hispanics are here illegally, one assumes they are NOT among the Visa overstayers. Why then is everything being appealed to as Hispanic related, i.e. "racist anti-immigrant?"

Of course I have no proof but as the illegal alien numbers have been "dumbed down," so as to speak, I'm thinking that the 11 million figure refers to those who have overstayed those Visas, that does NOT include the 60% "other" illegal aliens that probably are now numbered in the 24-25 million!
