What if the illegals left?
Somebody really did their homework on this one. Best on the subject to present date.
What if 20 Million Illegal Aliens Vacated America?
I, Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote a column titled, "Mexican Visitor's Lament."
I interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said, "Illegal aliens pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes. What happens to your country's economy if 20 million people go away?"
Hmmm, I thought, what would happen?
So I did my due diligence, buried my nose as a reporter into the FACTS I found below.
It's a good question... it deserves an honest answer. Over 80% of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers I found may surprise you!
In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominant language again.
In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grandchilds would move back "home," mostly to Mexico. That would save Colorado an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 billion) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.
Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.
Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67% dropout/flunk rate because of thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado. Denver's 4% unem ployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.
In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America, the rule of law, and English.
In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.
If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home,' the U.S. Economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn't be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local, state and city coffers.
No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.
We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country.
In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the '18th Street Gang' would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!
Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens!
America's economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get rich. Over $80 billion annually wouldn't return to the aliens' home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America 's economy which currently suffers an $8.7 trillion debt. $8.7 trillion debt!!!
At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupt out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act. Americans wouldn't suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country - brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.
Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities. It would also put the 'progressives' on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11% of our greenhouse gases.
Over one million of Mexico's poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas, to San Diego, California, in what the New York Times called, 'colonias' or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, roads, electricity, or any kind of sanitation.
The New York Times reported them to be America's new 'Third World' inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonials. (I've seen them personally in Texas and Arizona; it's sickening beyond anything you can imagine.)
By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico. We should invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico. We already invite a million people into our country legally annually, more than all other countries combined. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation.
It's time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life.
Interesting Statistics!
Here are 14 reasons illegal aliens should vacate America, and I hope they are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them:
1. $14 billion to $22 billion dollars are spent each year on welfare to illegal aliens (that's Billion with a 'B')
3. $7.5 billion dollars are spent each year on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
4. $12 billion dollars are spent each year on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they still cannot speak a word of English!
5. $27 billion dollars are spent each year for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
6. $3 Million Dollars 'PER DAY' is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. That's $1.2 Billion a year.
7. 28% percent of all federal prison inmates are illegal aliens.
8. $190 billion dollars are spent each year on illegal aliens for welfare & social services by the American taxpayers.
9. $200 billion dollars per year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in t he US.
11. During the year 2005, there were 8 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our southern border with as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from other terrorist countries. Over 10,000 of those were middle-eastern terrorists. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin, crack, guns, and marijuana crossed into the U.S. from the southern border.
12. The National Policy Institute, estimates that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion, or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.
13. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $65 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin, to their families and friends.
14. The dark side of illegal immigration: Nearly one million sex crimes are committed by illegal immigrants in the United States!
Total cost a whopping $538.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR !
I have no idea why I said “she”
Here in northern Jersey the Home Depots have all of their signs in English & Spanish. The 12 million figure for illegals has to be nonsense because it seems there are at least a million of them in my town of 40,000...
Those dependent on the “poverty industry” for a living will never allow deportation; too many public school teachers and social workers would lose their jobs.
Good list; at this point the de facto amnesty here in NJ has led to a situation where Americans who can’t speak Spanish can’t get jobs as bank tellers, cashiers, or anything else in customer service. Those jobs increasingly go to the anchor babies, born here (and therefore citizens) fluent in both tongues.
I’ve seen people complaining that anyone over 50 can’t find work; increasingly, inability to speak Spanish is costing many younger Americans jobs as well.
Excellent argument!!
If we dried up the welfare for these idiots and arrested those employing them, they would self deport.
They did this in Southern California, A Day without a Mexican, and voila, a day with no traffic backups.
Civil asset forfeiture is not ok.
It is, for unpatriotic criminal traitors that hire wetbacks.
They are no different than any other enemy to this country.
Right up there with meth dealers, terrorists and communists
for the damage, property and lives lost.
If all 20 million left at once, we’d lose about 8 station wagons.
“If they all left, our economy would implode and the United states would be pushed into a depression that makes the 1930 look like nothing.”
There could be a slight possibility of an impact as you
suggest but I doubt it would be nearly as bad as what the
Obama caused. Either way we could overcome it and be the better
for it.
“20 million decreases our pollution output by 5%-10%,”
“5%-10%” Are you kidding? 25% minimum.
Irrelevant; if the Constitution is to be respected Civil Asset Forfeiture cannot be held legitimate:
Amendment VOr is the
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
no personconstraint on the government suddenly rescinded because of the charge?
Or is the “no person” constraint on the government suddenly rescinded because of the charge?
Why shouldn’t a person convicted of a crime not be punished
for crimes they committed by having the assets he/she obtained
through their criminal activity confiscated? Of course this
wouldn’t apply for people who hire wetbacks for domestic use
like mowing their yard or cleaning their house. For those
a felony conviction, $100k fine and 15 years in the pen would be a good deterrent.
You said nothing about trials, and civil asset forfeiture is normally done before any trial. (Essentially, you have to prove innocence in order to get what was taken returned.)
Of course this wouldn’t apply for people who hire wetbacks for domestic use like mowing their yard or cleaning their house. For those a felony conviction, $100k fine and 15 years in the pen would be a good deterrent.
Hm, sounds like you're backpedaling to me.
An entertaining pipe dream.
“Hm, sounds like you’re backpedaling to me.”
“You said nothing about trials,”
You should know.
“normally done before any trial.”
“Normally” maybe, but not always. They could just change it
to freeze the assets. We are talking about people
who are causing damage to this country and death and personal
property loss to its citizens. Ok, forget the asset forfeiture and just
make the penalty mandatory 30 years and
let them sell the assets off to pay for their defense. That
would be fine with me as long as the criminal employers are
held accountable.
It would make an interesting premise for a sci fi movie.
bkmk
I’m all for it
I’m a 50 yo woman who just took over my sons yardwork job
He graduated this year and got a job making 31K a year through an Archtectural Construction & Engineering program at his school
Before that job he was working a a food business
He got both of these jobs due to people he knows
Before then he just wasn’t getting anywhere
I think you have to know somebody now
I finally got a job on a production line but had to stop after three days when my back blew out
I was crushed
I was hoping I could get a foot in the agency that sent me there
Haven’t worked since January
Dry up the JOB market for illegals and they would stop coming. Many would also leave under those same circumstances.
In my area many aren’t coming for work; they are here for freebies offered by the taxpayers of America.
