Illegal immigration

Illegal immigration is the migration of people across national borders in a way that violates the immigration laws of the destination country. Some countries have millions of illegal immigrants.

very few Americans are against a reasonable amount of legal immigration, regardless of race, nationality or ethnicity, but most Americans are against any amount of illegal immigration, regardless of race, nationality or ethnicity.

In Biting the Hand That Feeds You, Congressman Steve King of Iowa noted:

What would the May 1, 2006, illegal immigration boycott look like without illegal immigration?

The lives of 12 U.S. citizens would be saved who otherwise would die a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens each day.

Another 13 Americans would survive who are otherwise killed each day by uninsured drunk driving illegals.

There would be no one to smuggle across our southern border the heroin, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines, which plague the United States, reducing the U.S. supply of methamphetamines that day, by 80%.

Our hospital emergency rooms would not be flooded with everything from gunshot wounds, to anchor babies, to imported diseases, to hangnails, giving American citizens the day off from standing in line behind illegals.

Eight American children would not suffer the horror as victims of sex crimes.

I’ll bet you did not see Congressman King’s comments on the evening news.

Let’s start with a broad summary on how illegal immigration is or can affect you personally. Here are just some of the negative side affects of illegal immigration:

easy conduit for terrorists entering the USA

massive escalation in crime

surge in foreign national prisoners to support for years

increases Balkanization of US

increases multiculturalism/segregation/divisiveness instead of the American melting pot

increases desire for Aztlan (reclaiming SW states for Mexico)

increasing number of traffic accidents

main contributor to surging US population

dramatic impact on society and infrastructure, including education

destruction of fragile ecosystems in American SW

main cause of emergency rooms and hospitals closing as well as service cut backs

introduction of third world diseases

increased welfare costs

massive costs to society - over and above contributions
