When “relocating” to the United States, it’s best to avoid states that have selfishly put the interests of their legal residents ahead of yours with laws that hinder your access to jobs and benefits. But many attractive destinations remain, endorsed by millions of illegal aliens already living in each.
1. California
California’s state motto “Eureka” (I have found it!) aptly applies here. The state's population includes 3.2 million illegal aliens -- almost 24% of all illegal aliens in America -- have chosen preferred domicile.
Despite its $26 billion budget deficit, the state spends $21.5 billion dollars annually subsidizing illegal alien health care, education, welfare, other state benefits and criminal justice. Every California native-born household chips in $2438 each year to help.
Unless you commit a violent felony, the state leaves you alone. Los Angeles Special Order 40 – a sanctuary policy that sets the tone statewide - prevents local officers from inquiring about your immigration status.
Many “visitors” head straight for Central Valley, which depends on a combination of immigration and irrigation to produce almost 8 percent of America’s total agricultural output. You’ll be in good company because more than half of the farm workers in California have no work authorization.
Of course don’t forget in-state tuition for illegal aliens. Take advantage of the Dream Act in a place that can only be described as the Dream State for Illegal Aliens.
2. Montgomery Country, Maryland
If jobs are what attract you, then this upscale community close to our nation's capital offers the mother of all magnets.
The first step to getting a job is to visit a Casa De Maryland (CASA) Welcome Center. Their employment specialists help you find a job and don’t give a hoot about your legal status.

“Federal Judge or no Federal Judge we are getting rid of them here in Georgia. Hasta la Vista and good riddance”
I sure hope you’re right. In the meantime, see if you can get the top 5 places for ILLEGALS to live(post 7) posted in the AJC..They won’t take my “offerings” anymore. LOL
In Western Washington somebody did a drive-by on a BP agents house on Saturday night. Skagit County crime is exploding with diversity, and Yakima has a huge gang and murder problem.
“Montgomery County... I wouldn’t recognize the place”.
I was born here and unfortunately still live here. I don’t recognize the place!!
California tried to stop the illegals in the 90’s and were thwarted by liberal judges. That’s still the game plan until the citizens are overwhelmed.
The only problem with having them state what they would do is that it is all talk. Most of those running are RINOs who lie without conscience. They have no problem whatsoever talking tough but when the time comes to walk the walk, they disappear. RINOs McCain, Lindsey Grahamnesty, and Mitt Romney are kings of stating what people want to hear in order to get elected, then doing the exact opposite once they take office.
Every other RINO running, which means most of those currently seeking nomination, have worked very hard to acquire that same skill. They cannot be trusted on this matter.
You are correct, it is a huge issue. But I would not leave it up to their mouths and currently stated opinions to determine how dedicated to the subject they are. I would look at what they have done or not done in the past. I would find out what they have said in the past when they were not running for any office.
Some people think that sounds cynical, but after every RINO I’ve seen, including those four Family Values RINOs in NY state, I’ve learned not to accept the word of any of them.
Given that the citizens of these destinations keep voting for politicians who enact policies that welcome illegal immigration, we’re certain they’ll be pleased by your arrival.
Horace Greeley ?
Ping!
“Federal Judge or no Federal Judge we are getting rid of them here in Georgia. Hasta la Vista and good riddance.”
Your state and city police have no deportation powers.
ICE will not deport them.
So what on earth are you talking about?
Time to take ‘em to the Gulf coast and let the ‘gators get fat. Gators like illegals because they taste like chicken.
The tough laws and enforcement in Northern Virginia and the generosity of nearby Montgomery County, MD has done wonders locally ;)
Mexico publishes guide to assist border crossers

Republic Mexico City Bureau
Jan. 1, 2005 12:00 AM
MEXICO CITY - The Mexican government is giving out a colorful new comic book with advice for migrants, but immigration-control advocates worry that some of the tips may encourage illegal border crossers.
The 32-page book, The Guide for the Mexican Migrant, was published in December by Mexico’s Foreign Ministry. Using simple language, the book offers safety information for border crossers, a primer on their legal rights and advice on living unobtrusively in the United States.
Dramatic drawings show undocumented immigrants wading into a river, running from the U.S. Border Patrol and crouching near a hole in a border fence. On other pages, they hike through a desert with rock formations reminiscent of Arizona and are caught by a stern-faced Border Patrol agent.
“This guide is intended to give you some practical advice that could be of use if you have made the difficult decision to seek new work opportunities outside your country,” the book says.
But immigration-control groups questioned some of the guide’s advice.
“This is more than just a wink and a nod,” said Rick Oltman, Western field director for the Federation for American Immigration Reform. “This is so transparent, this is the Mexican government trying to protect its most valuable export, which is illegal migrants.”
Book distribution
The book is being distributed as a free supplement to El Libro Vaquero, a popular cowboy comic book, in five Mexican states that send many migrants to the United States: Zacatecas, Michoacán, Puebla, Oaxaca and Jalisco. The government plans to print 1.5 million copies.
The book comes with a yellow disclaimer saying it does not promote undocumented immigration, and it repeatedly warns against crossing illegally. But it gives no information about the steps for seeking a U.S. visa.
Instead, it offers frank safety tips. In the section on crossing rivers, it notes, “Thick clothing increases your weight when wet, and this makes it difficult to swim or float.”
On crossing the desert, it says, “Try to walk during times when the heat is not as intense” and says migrants should follow power lines or train tracks if they get lost.
The book warns migrants that they may have to walk for days to reach towns or roads in the desert and that they will not be able to carry enough water or food.
But it also shows a woman adding salt to a water bottle and advises, “Salt water helps you retain your body’s liquids. Although you’ll feel thirstier, if you drink water with salt the risk of dehydration is much lower.”
Mexican authorities say they’re just trying to keep migrants safe.
“We are not inviting them to cross, but we’re doing everything we can to save lives,” said Elizabeth García Mejía, chief coordinator for the Nogales, Sonora, section of Mexico’s Grupo Beta migrant protection service.
Carlos Flores Vizcarra, Mexican consul general of Phoenix, said he had not seen the guide until a reporter showed it to him.
He said the guide appeared to be only the latest attempt by the Mexican government to warn migrants about the dangers of crossing the border without proper documentation.
The reality, however, is that many migrants will try to do so anyway, he said.
“This is nothing new. It’s a way to put it in very simple terms so people will understand the risks,” Flores Vizcarra said. “The intention is out of concern for human rights. People are doing it anyway. We cannot ignore that there is a very big migration between our two countries, and people who are coming to work need to understand the risks.”
Mixed messages
Some migrants from Mexico who have crossed the border illegally in the past said the guide seems to send a mixed message.
“On the one hand they seem to be saying, ‘Don’t cross,’ but on the other hand they are saying, ‘Cross,’ “ Humberto Morales, 22, an undocumented immigrant from Oaxaca working as a day laborer in Phoenix, said after looking at a copy.
He doubts the guide will keep many people in Mexico from crossing illegally, but he said it could help save lives.
“We have lots of programs like this in Mexico, but people keep crossing,” Morales said.
No official at the Foreign Ministry headquarters in Mexico City would agree to an interview about the comic book, despite repeated requests through the ministry’s media relations office.
The book’s pictures are drawn to match the style of El Libro Vaquero. They portray the migrants as strong and healthy men and women, wading into a river or walking through the desert.
One section of the book urges caution when dealing with immigrant smugglers, known as coyotes or polleros. It shows migrants climbing into the back of a tractor-trailer, a possible reference to the 19 migrants who died in Texas after being sealed in a tractor-trailer in May 2003.
On getting caught
Another section warns migrants not to lie to U.S. authorities or use false identification, and it gives instructions on what to do if caught by the Border Patrol.
“Don’t throw stones or objects at the officer or patrol vehicles because this is considered a provocation,” it says. “Raise your hands slowly so they see you are unarmed.”
A picture shows a group of migrants running from a Border Patrol sport utility vehicle, though the text urges them not to flee.
“It’s better to be detained a few hours and repatriated to Mexico than to get lost in the desert,” it says.
Seven pages are devoted to migrants’ legal rights after they are detained and another four to living peacefully in the United States.
“Avoid attracting attention, at least while you are arranging your stay or documents to live in the United States,” it says. “The best formula is to not alter your routine of going from work to home.”
The Arizona Republic faxed copies of the guide to the U.S. Border Patrol, FAIR and two groups that support stronger controls on immigration.
A Border Patrol spokesman said he does not think the book encourages illegal crossers.
“If they’ve already gone ahead and made that decision to cross illegally . . . then anything that helps protect lives is worth it,” said Andy Adame, spokesman for the Border Patrol’s Tucson sector.
Beyond protection
But the immigration-control groups said some of the advice goes beyond protecting migrants and, instead, encourages them.
“A lot of it is disclaimers, but then there’s this part about if you’re going to cross the desert, do it when the sun isn’t so hot,” said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies. “It’s a mixed message.”
Said John Vincent, editor of a newsletter published by Virginia-based Americans for Immigration Control: “It really looks like the Mexican government is encouraging illegal immigration. It shows the contempt that the Mexican government has for our laws.”
The Mexican government produces a similar book aimed at Central American immigrants who try to enter Mexico illegally. The book covers much of the same information about legal rights and repeats many of the warnings. It even shows a group of migrants struggling to breathe inside a truck.
But that book doesn’t give the same kind of safety tips on crossing the border or advise immigrants on how to live peacefully in Mexico.

In the early mornng hours it is possible to drive down Viers Mill to Georga Avenue all the way to the beltway seeing only central and american and mexicans walking, on buses waitng for buses etc. Wheaton is a joke, it might as well be part of Guatamala.
Yes, heaven forbid that anyone should steal an illegal alien's identity! But they can steal Americans' identities right and left and we're just supposed to turn the other cheek.
I don’t know where you are from Dude but Gwinnett County has been checking for illegals arrested for any other infraction and turning them over to ICE for over a year now. It has saved the Gwinnett County Police Dept millions of dollars. Where they go after ICE gets them I cannot tell you but they are out of GA. At the moment illegals are self deporting by the busload. So thats what I’m talking about. We are getting rid of them.
Sorry to hear that.
Heard that about Montgomery County, MD this morning. When it comes to attracting foreign crinimals, they’re in the Top Ten, baby!
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
