Amnesty for Illegal Aliens Is a Terrible Idea for the Nation!
National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers ^ | 2008 | National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers

Posted on 01/02/2009 4:00:30 AM PST by BellStar

We can't afford an amnesty - it would cost too much. Applying a conservative estimate of the per-person processing cost from the 1986 amnesty, unadjusted for inflation, it would cost about $2,500,000,000 (two billion, five-hundred million dollars) to process ten million illegal aliens. What else could we do with that money that would be worthwhile for the country?

There is a huge push on the part of the current administration, the Senate, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, many industrial and growers' organizations, many unions, and the Mexican government (yes, they very much want us to have one) to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens in the United States. No one has any good idea of how many - estimates range as high as twenty million. A more probable figure is ten to twelve million.

Start by releasing former Border Patrol Agents Compean and Ramos from prison, issue an apology to them, pay them each $5 million for the suffering the Bush Administration gave them, then put them in charge of enforcing the borders.

. . . it would cost about $2,500,000,000 (two billion, five-hundred million dollars) to process ten million illegal aliens.

Way underestimated. First of all, there are a lot more than ten million illegal aliens, particularly when one calculates the chain immigration which would inevitable result from amnesty. Second of all, $250 per person would cover nothing more than basic processing costs-- the bureaucratic paperwork, a basic search of crime databases (assuming the applicant is who they claim to be) and not much else. A real study would also calculate their likely claims on public services versus their contributions to the same. Englewood, California would be a great case study for such an estimate.

Hyphenates are endangering the stability of our system.

The all have a "sob story", a disturbed sense of entitlement, and a whining lack of self-esteem.

The hyphenates calculate that gives them the right to loot and pillage our tax dollars to subsidize their every whine.

We need to stop these border hyphenates---AND ALL HYPHENATES---from stealing us blind.

There is nothing in the US Constitution that compels US taxpayers to subsidize whiners with self-esteem problems.

Well, surprahs, surprahs, surprahs, as Gomer Pyle might say. And once again, liberal causes collide. Whom do liberals side with when a member of a victim group is brutalized by their precious "undocumented goodhearted people"?

I got the following article from the same group of retired agents. They have the best news out there.

I have to tell you a story that this sentence brought to mind from the article:

“Lake Elsinore has a long tradition of being a melting pot and we want to continue to be that,” he said. “We want to continue to be a welcoming, friendly town, but there are also state and federal laws that need to be enforced and as long as those laws are on the books, there is a responsibility on the part of local, state and federal authorities to exercise their roles.”

An Uncle, by marriage, came to this country from Italy about 100 years ago. He once owned most of Elsinore. And he made his money by himself! Yes, it WAS a melting pot, not a salad bowl with one flavor- Mexican! My Uncle Frank Frontino, and immigrants like him who worked to build this country is thankfully gone and doesn’t have to see this country disappear into the 3rd world. One time in the seventies, we went with him to TJ. He was quite dark and on the way back at the entry point, the guard asked him what nationality he was......OMG.......”I’m an AMERICAN, Damn it!”

Bears repeating. Problem is, Liz, whiners with self-esteem problems are about 75% of the population....from illegal aliens to Rinos....

That means 25% of the population is subzidizing these leeches and whiners.

That was fine when the stock market was hitting 14,000. The market has now lost $6.5 trillion dollars.

About time these whiners start paying their own way........or better yet, they should GTH out of our country.

Look I hope one of these men who did this web site, that is if well spoken should do some face/voice time on Savage Nation, Fox News Channel or go on a National Speaking tour. If none of them are good public speakers than that is not an option. Hope one is as I perused the website I was shocked at the stories and facts we never hear about.

One of these former agents is a friend. I will forward your message to him.
