" Actually, it is against the interests of Hispanics born in the United States, and even recent legal immigrants, to have to compete against illegal immigrants. "

Last week Laura Ingraham stated on her show that the Republican elite are not worried about the best interests of the USA. Michael Reagan, Michelle Malkin and many others have written recently to warn of the problems of illegal immigration and another "amnesty"

I would think that Hispanic citizens are sick and tired of people suspecting that they are illegals and would want illegal immigration to go away for that reason alone.

This is true. More true than Republicans realize and more true than Democrats hope. I work with a lot of Mexican-Americans (contrary to my screen name I am Irish-American), and illegal immigration bothers them. However, since many of them have family in Mexico, the ability to visit and be visited by family, in Mexico or here, is a real concern. The party that catches onto this fact and provides for this concern, will get a larger portion of the "Hispanic" vote. To be able to visit "mi Padre` y mi Madre`, when they are sick, esta` muy importante`.

Chilling Costs of Illegal Alien Migration


AN IRREVERSIBLE IMMIGRATION CRISIS
 
By Frosty Wooldridge
November 19, 2004
NewsWithViews.com

If you read a recent Newsweek Magazine, it featured a front-page picture, "CALIFORNIA IN CRISIS." Last summer, Time Magazine ran, "THE USA IS RUNNING OUT OF ENERGY." Outside Magazine featured, "WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF WATER."

This year, I traveled from northern California to San Francisco. What started out as a pleasant drive became a nightmare of grid locked traffic, sprawl, foreign languages I couldn't understand in my own country, polluted water, $2.59 a gallon gas and filthy air.

California is the ‘canary in the mine’ state indicating ominous foreboding in this country. America stands at a critical crossroads of a dilemma that, once it has grown past our ability to manage it, citizens will suffer an irreversible crisis. U.S. population explodes beyond 'carrying capacity' with each added individual now totaling 293 million in America. Via legal and illegal immigration, the United States grows by four million annually, or, 10,958 per day. Another million U.S. citizen births create a net gain of five million annually added to U.S. soil. That human surge will add in excess of 250 million more Americans soon after mid century. It’s called "population momentum." ~snip~

I worked with and held as a good friend a first generation American from Mexico. He was a poster child for the American dream. He raised a beautiful family and taught them how to be American. He and his legally immigrated family believe the illegals are usually scum who can't get legal visas. He is actualy the one who taught me about the illegal immigration problem back in 1988.

Last week the Secty. of Defense had this to say:

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0411/16/ldt.01.html


DOBBS: Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is warning of the threat of terrorists entering this country through the same routes as those used by illegal aliens. Secretary Rumsfeld, traveling in South America, warned that enemies look for weaknesses and take advantage of them.

DONALD RUMSFELD, SECRETARY OF DEFENSE: The risk is that some of these human-smuggling routes into our country from this hemisphere could be used just as easily for terrorists.

DOBBS: And three million illegal aliens are estimated to be entering this country this year.

Secretary Rumsfeld also said the United States has to be, as he put it, smarter and quicker in securing our borders. The federal government's failure to secure those borders is leading individual states to take action. Arizona's Proposition 200, which limits state benefits for illegals, passed overwhelmingly two weeks ago. Now at least half a dozen other states are considering similar measures.

Framing the discussion in terms of illegal immigration, as opposed to concerns about the overall volume of immigration, either legal or illegal, is what leads to solutions like the "temporary" worker program. Simply creating legal channels for an invasion from a 3rd world country is no solution. We need to start questioning the impact of both legal and illegal immigration.

"In contrast to past centuries, immigration levels are no longer closely tied to the business cycle. This does not mean that economic factors are entirely irrelevant. The higher standard of living in the United States compared with those in most sending-countries almost certainly plays an important role in encouraging immigration. But a much higher standard of living exists even during a recession. Moreover, people come to America for many reasons, including to join family, avoid social or legal obligations, take advantage of America’s social services, and enjoy greater personal and political freedom. Thus, even a prolonged economic downturn is unlikely to have a large impact on immigration levels. It also must be remembered that there has been no major change in the selection criteria used or numerical limits placed on legal immigration, even after the 9/11 attacks. Moreover, immigration enforcement efforts have actually become more lax in recent years.1 Lowering immigration levels would require enforcement of immigration laws and changes to the legal immigration system."


Everyone should read this recent report. One amazing chart shows periods of slowed economy vs. immigration. Immigration has always gone down in those times, not so this time. Illegals are taking the jobs of American citizens.
