What we get in return for massive illegal immigration:

Closing hospitals

Increased health care costs.

Overcrowded prisons

Diseases we had all but eradicated

An underground economy

Increased crime

Identity Theft

Higher taxes

More police and schools

Increasing rate of unemployment of Americans

Lower standard of living for many Americans

Draining off of our social benefits

Gangs

Increased terrorism risks

Devaluation of our citizenship

Erosion of our national identity.

Lower tax revenues, since much of their work is off the books.

Smuggling

Increased drug flow

Human slavery and trafficking

Legal immigration for relatives of citizens takes a back burner

Once nice neighborhoods now turned into barrios

Lowering of our educational standards

Massive welfare fraud with fake ID’s

Dissolving of our borders

Loss of sovereignty

Blurring/loss of culture

Loss of language

Billions of dollars sent out of the country by illegals

Lower wages

The worst pollution in the Northern Hemisphere is right on our southern border, from mountains of refuse being left there by border crossers.

Closing hospitals that go bankrupt treating illegals. 80 California Hospitals have closed because of this. Illegals are breaking the back of our medical system. Many illegals come to the US just to get treated for their diseases....and it is free. This also causes increased healthcare costs for Americans.

Unlicensed, uninsured, untaught and 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. MDR-TB has a 60% death rate. It can be treated over 24 months at a cost of $250,000 and toxic side effects.

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.

Increased crime, gang activity, particularly MS-13, identity theft, drug flow. smuggling, humand trafficking and slavery. Overcrowing of prisons....30% of federal inmates are illegals.

Higher taxes to cover costs of schools, police and law enforcement and maintenace of higher prison populations.

Refusal to adapt to the English language and forcing some school districts to think of hiring Mexicans from Mexico to teach the children of illegals in American schools

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.

Illegals are living 20-50 people in a single home times an unfathomable number of homes in neighborhoods across America. They are breaking in unoccupied residences and living in boathouses.

Numerous neighborhoods have been reduced in value because of overcrowing by illegals.

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. Illegals send billions of untaxed dollars back home each year....It is Mexico's 3rd largest source of income.

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.

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.

"It is Mexico's 3rd largest source of income."

It's second only to oil now.

Sure, the Illegals cost that much, but we get diversity and
tolerance.

Add U.S. government coruption via crooked officers paid to look the other way and others who engage in smuggling activity for a bribe... and as time progresses it will get worse...
