16 Facts which Support Donald Trump’s View on Illegal Immigration

Over at Herman Cain's spectacular website, Cain TV, Clark Barrow lists out 16 reasons that Donald Trump is right about illegal immigration in America today.

Barrow took the list of 16 from a recent Newsmax article that gave clear and convincing support to the idea that Trump was being railroaded for being honest.

The simple fact of the matter is that while many of us may not have appreciated "the way" that Trump communicated his thoughts on illegal immigration, the man is not wrong about the basic ideas he was trying to express.

Illegal immigrants are a burden on our economy, on our legal system and on our culture, and telling the truth about this should not be a problem.

TRUMP - According to a recent Newsmax.com article, here are 16 Reasons Donald Trump is not wrong on immigration:

1. The border is extremely porous: The United Nations reported that 97 percent of the illegal immigrants who enter the U.S. clandestinely do so across the nearly 2,000-mile Mexican border, but only 20 percent of those who cross illegally are caught.

2. Illegal immigrants do bring crime: Of the 61,529 criminal cases initiated by federal prosecutors in 2013, more than 40 percent were filed in court districts neighboring the border. Nearly 22 percent were drug-related, 19.7 percent were violent crimes, and 10.2 percent involved white-collar offenses.

3. Immigrants are killing Americans: According to the Center for Immigration Studies, 57 percent of the 76 fugitive murderers wanted by the FBI in 2009 were foreign-born. The Center also disclosed that in Maricopa County in Arizona, 22 percent of felons are illegal immigrants . 4. Illegal immigrants pose a danger on the roads: About 4.5 million illegal aliens in the U.S. drive on a regular basis, many without licenses or insurance or even the ability to read road signs written in English, The New York Times reported. In Arizona, 63 percent of cited drivers have no license, no insurance, and no registration for the vehicle, and 97 percent of them are illegal aliens.

5. Statistics back up Trump's charge that illegals bring drugs: In Pinal County, Ariz., about 70 miles from the Mexican border, Sheriff Paul Babeu said marijuana seizures went from about 19,000 pounds in 2008 to more than 45,500 pounds in 2010.

6. Many immigrants entering the country illegally have a criminal record in the U.S.: In 2010, the Border Patrol reported that 212,000 illegals were caught in the Tucson, Ariz., sector alone, and as many as 30 percent of them already had a criminal record in the U.S.

7. Many illegal alien convicts have been arrested multiple times: A Government Accountability Office study of 55,000 illegal aliens found that they were arrested at least 459,614 times, averaging about eight arrests per alien. About one-quarter of them had 11 or more arrests.

8. Deportation of illegal immigrants doesn't keep them out of the country: Due to the wide-open Mexican border, the number of people prosecuted for coming into the country illegally after being deported has increased by 175 percent since 2005, according to a report cited by the Constitution Party website. The illegal alien recently accused of randomly murdering a woman in San Francisco had previously been deported five times.

9. The Mexican border is being used by illegals from other countries: Arrests by the Border Patrol of illegals from countries other than Mexico, particularly from Central America, increased from 59,000 in 2010 to 99,000 in 2012.

10. Immigrants are filling U.S. jails: One quarter of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals, as are 40 percent of inmates in Arizona and 48 percent in New Mexico. And 75 percent of those on the most wanted criminals list in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Albuquerque are illegal aliens.

11. Illegals do include "rapists," as Trump charged: Among many examples, an undocumented alien was arrested in Baltimore for raping a 9-year-old girl. In Austin, Texas, police arrested two Mexican nationals who allegedly participated in the gang rape of a 13-year girl in June. As many as 13 men took part, and some filmed the crime on their cell phones. Earlier this year an illegal alien from Mexico admitted in court that he raped a 12-year-old girl.

12. Prominent figures agree with Trump on the dangers of illegal immigration: Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani told MSNBC that while most people who cross the border come for economic reasons, "hidden with them, because they're coming across unchecked, are people who rape, murder people, kill people and are terrorists."

13. Ordinary Americans agree with Trump as well: According to Rasmussen Reports, 63 percent of Americans want the U.S. to gain control of the border. A recent CNN national survey found that of the announced Republican candidates, Trump placed second only to Jeb Bush. And Bill Kristol, founder and editor of The Weekly Standard, said Trump "is an outsider who was saying some things that the establishment doesn't want to hear, that is resonating with voters."

14. Relatives of victims know that Trump is right: The mother of a teenager who was murdered by an illegal immigrant gang member, Army Sgt. Anita Shaw, praised Trump for "trying to do something about a failed immigration system."

15. Even wealthy Mexicans agree with Trump: Reuben Navarette Jr. writes in The Daily Beast that Mexico's elite, despite displaying "outrage" at Trump's comments, often speak in the same manner at high-end golf courses and banquets.

16. The Pew Research Center estimated that there are nearly 12 million illegal aliens in the nation — and the key word is "estimated."

A slightly cleaner version of your very nice list. It should be a MUST READ for every Freeper:

BOTTOM LINE: Trump is taking back the narrative on immigration....the bygone fairy tale that we thrive b/c we are "a nation of immigrants". But these are not the "yearning immigrants of yesteryear." These illegals are Third World armies of barbarian invaders---lusting after the riches and wealth of our country----plotting the overthrow of the US govt.

The Steinle killing reaffirms that they are here to harm Americans---they despise us.

They act as "pressure groups" --- tight-knit ethnic voting blocs ---- to pressure Congress to start the billionaire gravy train rolling to their salivating Third World handlers. Third World federales are lying-in-wait---salivating for zillions in "humanitarian foreign aid" and anything else they can get their greedy hands on.

REALITY CHECK---"HUMANITARIAN US FOREIGN AID"
laundered in US banks; Guatemalan was elected
to "redistribute" poverty-stricken nation's wealth.

Alfonso Portillo---ex-president of Central America's Guatemala--- faced charges in New York that he used US banks to launder millions looted from his impoverished nation. Alfonso Portillo took office in 2000 pledging to (ahem) redistribute Guatemala’s wealth.

Portillo, 61, allegedly ran scams to drain the impoverished country's coffers. The feds say Portillo embezzled about $2.5M provided by the Taiwanese embassy....$1.5 million was earmarked for “Libraries for Peace”....books for school kid.

Portillo colluded w/ corrupt C/A insiders---he personally endorsed three $500,000 checks issued against an account at the Intl Bank of China in Manhattan, then deposited the cash in the Miami bank account of a Guatemalan bank controlled by a close associate and political supporter.

The embezzled foreign aid money was funneled to bank accounts in Paris in the names of Portillo’s ex-wife and daughter.

<><> Portillo swindled nearly $4M defense funds ...

<><> plundered the national bank run by his alleged co-conspirator...

<><> through overdrafts financed by public reserves the pilfered foreign aid money paid for expensive watches and cars, for Portillo and his associates. (NY POST excerpt 5/28/13)

The Steinle killing is ample evidence---they are here to harm us---they despise Americans.

Remember the early days of the "Latino Bund"? The Spanglish separatist slogans: "Get on the US gravy train!" ‘Viva La Raza!’ ‘Black and Brown United!’ ‘Accept me for who I am: a Chicano w/ multiple identities"

AMERICANS ARE FORCED TO FUND THE HATE-AMERICA LATINO BUND: In 2005 alone, $7.9 million in taxpayer funding was given to La Raza Bund charter schools in the form of US Dept of Education grants.

LA RAZA BUND schools stress Latino culture, the Spanish language, the re-conquest of the American Southwest, the establishment of the mythical Atzlan on US soil, and even Aztec math.

In addition to using taxpayer funds to enforce the teaching of murder and violence in US public schools, the federally-funded La Raza Bund operates 100 charter schools across America.

THE LA RAZA BUND TEACHES HATE-AMERICA WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS The La Raza Bund does not even try to sugar-coat its anti-America agenda and its bloodthirsty plans to kill off Americans: La Raza Bund Studies textbook “Occupied America,” by Rodolfo Acuña, includes a violent and blood-curdling speech given by university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez: “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him,” (pg. 323). The following is taken directly from La Raza's Occupied America: “.......execute all white males over age 16,” (p 167--AKA the Plan of San Diego).

===============================================

La Raza also got Democrat Congressional earmarks and tax dollars for "mortgage counseling." The super-secret Congressional Hispanic Caucus calculatedly launched a housing initiative called "HOGAR"-- Spanish for home. Conspiracy and collusion were the watchwords....... race-based "La Raza" was given tax dollars and Congressionsl earmarks to finance its so-called mortgage activities. La Raza's "strategic partnerships” with Wachovia and Bank of America forced the falsifications of mortgage-application and the dumbing down of mtge requirements and documentation standards.......which caused taxpayers to be socked w/ billions in bailouts as the US economy tanked.

La Raza aided and abetted risky federal and private-home loans to latinos over the last decade. thanks to the lending industry’s version of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

In addition to millions of federal tax dollars, La Raza also collected a $1 million Democratic earmark that funded “community-development” projects. Analysts report that much of it went to "mortgage counseling."

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

Even without the crime there's this..

Corralling America.. as Mexican officials have said "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time."

prior to the 1980s

There were Mexican government efforts to

attract and remind permanent U.S. residents of their Mexican heritage
along with programs providing temporary workers for the U.S.

But nothing in the former like today.

1980s Legal immigration

Under President Salinas

Mexican political parties undertook to bond with U.S. citizens of Mexican descent and
Mexico re-established Mexican citizenship for the Americans;
Mexico's dual citizenship advocates sought to augment votes.

Mexico's

web of multitudinous consulates and
Mexico's new program for Mexican communities abroad (Program for Mexican Communities Abroad, PCME)

became very active in the U.S.

By 1990 Mexican policy had

accepted their citizens' permanent settlement in the U.S.,
sought to reinforce its emigrants' homeland ties and,
encourage their organizational development in the U.S.

1996 LA Times article

1990s legal immigration

Mexico wanted Mexican-Americans to

help defend Mexican interests in the United States;

President Ernesto Zedillo (1990s) spoke to Mexican-American politicians telling them

"You're Mexicans -- Mexicans who live north of the border" and
urged them to help create an ethnic lobby with political influence similar to that of American Jews;
as Mexican-Americans become more powerful they were to defend and
advocate Mexican interests in the United States.

1995 NY Times article

1980s Illegal immigration

The Immigration Control and Reform Act (IRCA) in 1986

gave amnesty to almost three million mostly Mexican undocumented aliens;
these millions became the "basis for a new era in Mexico’s relations with its diaspora"
including a network of Mexican activist organizations in the United States.

Mexican Policy & Émigré Communities in the U.S.

And then there is the emergence of hometown philanthropic clubs that sends multi-billions of dollars to Mexican communities saving all levels of the corrupt Mexican government from having to depart with a peso to help its citizens. A better term is

"hometown associations";
HTAs have been around a long time;
some of the most famous HTAs were the German Nazi HTAs.

Meanwhile if that money remained in the hands of the ILLEGAL aliens (undocumented workers) would they need taxpayer support for food, housing, healthcare, education, and all other transfer payments that states and communities provide them?

IMO it's the way the corrupt government of Mexico "taxes" its citizens in its "Nation without borders."

So yes, undocumented workers do pay taxes.

Federations give Mexicans voices

Immigrant Mexican philanthropic groups turn toward politics
