What we get in return for massive illegal immigration:
Massive pollution on our border from refuse left there.
Closing hospitals that go bankrupt treating illegals.
Increased health care costs for Americans.
Overcrowded prisons....30% are illegal aliens.
Unlicensed, uninsured, often drunk drivers causing havoc on our roads
Diseases we had all but eradicated....multi drug resistant (MDR) TB, Leprosy, Chagas Disease(1 in 3 die), malaria, plague, polio, dengue, head lice, hepatitis A, B, and C.
Each illegal with MDR-TB coughs and infects 10 to 30 people, who will not show symptoms immediately. Latent disease explodes later.
Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, was so rare in America that in 40 years only 900 people were afflicted. Suddenly, in the past three years America has more than 7,000 cases of leprosy. Leprosy now is endemic to northeastern states because illegal aliens and other immigrants brought leprosy from India, Brazil, the Caribbean and Mexico.
Diesases that illegals are bringing to this country are a problem that will eventually get out of hand.
Increased crime, gang activity, particularly MS-13, identity theft, drug flow. smuggling, humand trafficking and slavery.
Higher taxes to cover costs of schools, police and law enforcement and maintenace of higher prison populations.
Increasing rate of unemployment of Americans who are displaced by illegals.
Depression of wages and a lower standard of living for many Americans
hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees
Draining off of our social benefits....36 to 42 percent of illegal aliens are on welfare.
Higher housing, food and energy costs.
Increased terrorism risks
Devaluation of our citizenship
Erosion of our national identity.
Lower tax revenues, since much of their work is off the books. Much of the economy is underground.
Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland.
Illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children.
The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the average Mexican illegal alien costs U.S. taxpayers a whopping $55,000 each. Some bargain, eh?
To name just a few. Let me know if you can think of any more to add to the list.
