Tighter Border Yields Odd Result: More Illegals Stay
The title is misleading and thier conclusion is false. It is clear from their own article the illegals are not staying because of tighter border controls but from all the free handouts, lack of enforcement of immigration laws and coddling of the illegals:
One local charity reports that demand for Christmas food baskets has tripled in the past two years
settling here has become easier
"We haven't done workplace enforcement for years," says Robert Logazino, head of the Border Patrol's Northern California sector office in Livermore. "We're in the process of being closed down here." Priorities have shifted in law enforcement.
"The houses violate the city code," says Gary Podesto, Stockton's mayor. "But if we chase them out, they will only go live by the river."
They know with certainty that they couldn't have afforded the treatment, which ran into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and for which they paid nothing at San Joaquin General.
U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants have access to the country's social safety net. The Silverios get $650 a month in welfare on behalf of Flor and another $319 on behalf of Cristian.
The nonprofit Council for Spanish speakers, known as El Concilio, says the number of baskets with food distributed at Christmas jumped three-fold in the last two years, to about 1,500.
Medi-Cal, the state and federal health-insurance program, covers illegal immigrants only for emergency treatment, prenatal care and some cases of long-term care in nursing homes.
Moreover, when Medi-Cal won't pay, the burden often falls to local health-care systems. San Joaquin General, which faces a $9 million overall deficit this year, last year lost an average of more than $75 for each patient who visited its emergency room. The ER lost $3.7 million.
Just ONE hospital forced to swallow a 3.7 million deficit! I think it's clear that no one in Washington has the balls to actually deport illegal aliens, but hasn't it become clear that the cost of supporting them (BILLIONS) should fall on the shoulders of Vicente Fox, President Bush's big buddy? Personally I think they should ALL be deported, but there's only one guy in Washington who agrees, and Tom Tancredo's name is mud to Jorge Bush.
