What illegal immigration is costing you

As the humanitarian crisis along the U.S. southwest border continues to unfold, Americans are being fed a steady stream of propaganda by the Obama administration and a sycophantic media about how we must accept the hundreds of thousands of poor, largely uneducated and unskilled aliens crossing into our country illegally because it’s “humane,” “compassionate” and “the right thing to do.”

What is lost in the debate, of course, is that there is nothing “humane” or “compassionate” about foisting hundreds of thousands of poor, immigrant children and adults on the citizens of any nation, at  any time, but especially one that is still in the throes of the worst economic “recovery” in its history and whose own population will be so negatively affected.

At the same time President Obama and Congress do next to nothing to stem the current wave of illegal immigration, American taxpayers are being told we must subsidize the existence of each and every person who manages to run, walk or crawl across our borders. And subsidize we will: A new report from the Center for Immigration Studies lays out a grim socio-demographic picture of recent  immigration trends, both legal and illegal.

Among the findings of the report:

• In the past few months, around 290,000 illegal immigrants (mainly from the three countries mentioned above) “have been settled, or will soon be settled, by the federal government.” (Ed. note: More than 300,000 illegal immigrants have arrived this year alone).

• In 2012, 2.7 million immigrants from these three countries arrived in the U.S. – 1.3 million from El Salvador, 880,000 from Guatemala and 536,000 from Honduras.

• It is estimated that around 1.6 million of the arrivals from these countries are here illegally.

• More than two thirds of these immigrants “speak English less than very well.”

• Roughly half of the immigrants have not graduated from high school (compared to 7 percent of native-born Americans).

• The amount of households among these immigrants which “use at least one major welfare program” is more than double that of native households.

• The amount of these immigrants and their under-18 children who live in poverty is more than double that of native-born Americans and their young children. The number of natives at the poverty level is 14 percent; among Salvadorans, 28 percent; Guatemalans, 31 percent; and Hondurans, 32 percent.

• Regarding health insurance: “47 percent of Guatemalan immigrants and their young children (under 18) do not have health insurance. The figure for both Salvadoran and Honduran immigrants and their young children is 41 percent. The corresponding figure for natives and their children is 13 percent.”

• The rate of these immigrants (age 25 to 54) who are employed is roughly the same as natives – roughly 75 percent. But thousands are working in jobs that would normally have gone to American citizens.

Though we’re told by the purveyors of political correctness that immigrant qualities like bringing marketable skills to our country so that taxpayers don’t have to support them is somehow racist and cruel, you have to wonder why they have it so backwards; it is the American citizen – the working class of all socioeconomic levels – who is being victimized.

Mass migration of the world’s poorest, unskilled and uneducated is not a zero-sum game, as the crony capitalists at the Chamber of Commerce and the editors of The Wall Street Journal would have you believe. There are real costs and real consequences for the citizens of any country with poor border enforcement policies and a welfare state the size of ours.

Congress is complicit if they don’t impeach Traitorobama and his demonicrat gang of thugs.

What is it costing us? It’s costing us our country. ‘nuff said.

When discussing EOTW situations, I often bring up the following situation. You are bunkered down, you have enough supplies, weapons, etc. Bands of rioters are roaming. Disease is rampant. A knock comes at the door.
It’s not a couple of 200 lb. monsters, its two little dirty, starving children. What would you do???? Would you throw open the door?? While you are dealing with them, maybe to brutes are at the back door..sneaking...probing..

This is America’s test. Obama knows America, he knows our weaknesses. He will use the children. He IS using the children.

That’s the plan and the reason Obama is organizing this crisis

> What is it costing us? It’s costing us our country. ‘nuff said.

Exactly the plan. The left is complicit. They are too stupid to understand what this reall means for thm in the future. The only pleasure we will get is to see their suffering later when they complain the most...

“It’s costing us our country.”

This is a NATIONAL crisis...as you said.

But,

There’s a lot of yelling that Perry/Texas should “do something” about the border.

I’m SURE that everyone doing the hollering understands the border.

I’m SURE that they understand that the Texas/Mexico border is 1241 miles long...2.5 - 3 times as long as California, Arizona and New Mexico COMBINED.

I’m SURE that they understand that the Texas/Mexico border is longer that it is from New York City to Topeka, Kansas...or from Jacksonville, Florida to Midland, TX.

I’m SURE that they understand the Santa Elena canyon...where 75 yards separates Texas and Mexico and where 1500’ cliffs are on the opposite sides of the Rio Grande. The Rio Grande that you could wade without getting your knees wet most of the year.

I’m SURE they’ve been there and seen the Chihuahuan Desert and understand the futility of fencing it.

I’m SURE their states have offered Texas some of their own funds and manpower to help seal the border.

I’m SURE they’ve read up and studied on the increased DPS/Texas Ranger presence ordered to the border by Perry/Texas.

I’m SURE they’ve viewed the videos about the air and water equipment on the Texas border....paid for by Texans.

Know what? I’m getting a little tired of people who haven’t been here, haven’t lived here and don’t know anything but what they read/believe casting aspersions on Texans about what we SHOULD be doing, NEED to do, etc.

Before they do that, why don’t they quit their jobs and drive their cute little asses down here and do their part?

Or demonstrate how THEIR state has contributed to the protection of our NATIONAL border?

Or maybe, just maybe, act a little thankful for what Texas taxpayers ARE doing to try to stem the tide...sans Washington, DC.

Maybe that.

Perry’s not perfect. Texas isn’t perfect. But there’s no other state in the Union dealing with this issue at the magnitude we are.

How about instead of bitching, why don’t they show how they/their state is doing more than Texans are to try to stem the tide?

No? Then how about a little help?

No? Then how about a little appreciation.

No? Then, I’d appreciate it if they’d shut the hell up.

I had a moment of clarity today about why our govt. is working so hard to foist these third-class immigrants on the rest of us. Once here, they’ll need a place to live, so the construction industry will pick up. They’ll also need transportation so car manufacturers will benefit. And eventually they’ll end up buying houses like they did 10 years ago, so the mortgage people will see an uptick in business.

Who cares if it drives down wages for the middle class or lowers the standard of living for regular Americans? Us little people can just suck it up while the fat cats on Wall Street and the CEOs of big business reap the rewards. It makes perfect sense to me now. They don’t give a sh!t about what happens to the typical American taxpayer as long as they keep sending in their money every April.

Saul Alinsky’s Rule 4 - Use the enemy’s book of rules against him.

Here Obama uses the America’s unstated rules about compassion, reaching out to those in need against us.

I don’t care what the fags in the Obama regime say, these people have no “right” to come waltzing into our country and live on the backs of the U.S. taxpayers. The ‘RAT fags like to say that we are a nation of immigrants. Until recently, immigrants that came to this country asked for nothing but an opportunity. It’s not like that with this new breed of “immigrants”. They come here to rob, rape, steal and KILL. They are not immigrants. They are marauding invaders and should be thrown out of our civilized country. These invaders are the people Alexis de Toqueville warned us about. They symbolize the end of America as we know it.

Just like the Marine in the back of the in Vietnam/Iraq/Afghanistan, whatever s(*&hole is the current flavor .
What would you do if the pretty girl or the poor orphan runs up with a satchel charge and you have a truck load of troopies?
You had better have thought about this beforehand and reconciled yourself to what must be done.
Your civilized action may move you to one action, but your responsibility forces you to another.
You must not hesitate.
In your situation, that child could be a disease carrier, a bomb, trained to sneak out and unlock your defenses in the middle of the night, etc.
Or it could just be a kid.
Those who would keep civilization don’t get to be fat, happy, and comfortable all the time.
The U.S. has been occupied by way too many that are fat, dumb, and happy, for far too long.
The key point of civilization is that you only get to have afternoon tea with doilies AFTER you have successfully defended your cave from the troglodytes.

Excuses. Failure is unforgivable.

Your moment of clarity is mis directed.

Obama just populating his "civilian army funded as well as the mainstream army"

we going to have his private army like this

Here is our community organizer urging on the rabble

[Chasaway]

Wait...are you a grown-up?

Where’s the excuse?

Or is it too difficult to refute the facts?

Because what I posted are facts.

Your post is reminiscent of the way dems/libs/progs/others like to respond; divert and start talking about something else.

Have anything to say about the content of my post?

Or is that kind of dialogue a little difficult?

“Failure is unforgivable.” I bet you’re not willing to live by that tenet.

[Ciexyz]

Soon we’ll all be living like a granny pensioner in Russia - with one table, chair, bed and tiny TV in a one-room dive.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Unfortunately, most Republicans are complicit as well. You can count serious opposition on one or two fingers.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Thanks for the great perspective and stats from a Texan’s POV. I haven’t read that anywhere else.

[dragnet2]

So you're suggesting the border in Texas is just too big to secure and protect?

But then why does Texas not deport illegals once they move into your cities? Would this not discourage them from coming?

Why is Dallas Parkland hospital aiding and abetting illegals who are having 1000 babies there per month? This is more than any other hospital in the U.S. What's up with that?

Why are employers in Texas hiring millions of low wage illegal aliens?

Why did your governor attend a La Raza meeting, a racist organization, who 100% totally supports the illegal invasion of the U.S.?

It could come down to it and there might be moments where the decision to use force to protect us will take a split second. If such a situation came about and I was on a jury, I could not convict. Think about it this way, if we had 1973 era East German personnel controlling our border, I know they would not give a crap and use force to protect the border to stop the invasion that the mines did not take care of. I'm tired of the bleeding heart saying, "these are just kids" and "it is not the Christian thing to do" and so on. These people are so stupid, they either have the brains of a duck (not to insult ducks, but there are people with brains that size) at best or worst, they are "suicide jockeys" who through either stupidity or purpose want to destroy America and Western Civilization or just don't care. There will be time, perhaps soon, perhaps now, where we will have to make the tough decisions we are talking about for our survival.
