Illegal Immigration Collapse

To listen to the recent Republican Presidential debates, you'd think illegal immigration was the biggest threat to the U.S. economy—not to mention to the rule of law, our social fabric and national security. We hate to spoil the political reverie, but the real immigration story these days is how many fewer illegal migrants are trying to get into the land of the free.

That's the news from the Department of Homeland Security, which reports that border apprehensions have dropped to their lowest level in nearly 40 years. For fiscal 2010, arrests were 463,000, down from 724,000 in 2008—a one-third decline in two years.

That kind of attitude killed half of all the people on the St. Louis... and put all the rest in grave danger.

Maybe YOU belong somewhere else, like a socialist welfare state utopia.

Looks like YOU are the one finding a new home.

Why’d they use a joint-strike tactical team?

One HE round from an M224 mortar would have taken them all out without any risk of life and limb.

So great to see the kitties have no problem getting rid of undesirables.....I vote they be appointed head of our National Security....problem of illegals solved!

The RINO Hispanderers don't care about any of that. In fact, your ref to the USA becoming Brazil makes them smile in anticipation, for they anticipate being the "landed gentry" with an inexhaustible supply of cheap labor.

Open Border RINOs are just as much traitors as the Rats who want to use them for a new voting block. They just approach the equation from the other side.

[Travis McGee]

I live in NE Florida, in an area without a tsunami of illegals. Unlike other places I’ve lived, white and black Americans actually work at landscaping, roofing, and other tough jobs. Imagine that! Yes, they do!

[Travis McGee]

So, we’re back to banning freepers who disagree with the open-border RINOs, eh?

Can’t win the debate, so ban em!

Yeah, that’ll work!

Oh, I have SO much respect for that!

[Arrowhead1952]

I didn’t ban them. Jim R banned one on another thread. Ask him about it, not me.

[Travis McGee]

Your joyful victory zot photo just a few replies above says otherwise to any fair-minded reader of this thread, which I joined late.

Okay, so can you please copy and paste here the “offending posts” by protoss here so we can judge?

It is smelling to me like the open-border RINOs (now in new Perrybot uniforms) have once again seized the controls of FR.

You can't win an honest debate by banning the other side.

Haven't we learned that yet? Are we winding up for another FR purge?

[muawiyah]

Still a great ZOT shot wasn’t it.

[cripplecreek]

Protoss earned the zot for saying that CITIZENS should be stripped of their CITIZENSHIP and deported.

[Gaffer]

They choke our schools, they choke our jail cells, they choke our hospitals so that Democrats can get votes and contractors, unskilled labor industry, and agriculture can have cheap labor.

The social, economic, educational, medical and justice impacts are immeasurable - IMMEASURABLE! And, the bleeding hearts, do-gooders, and politicians say we must ‘have a heart’..... NO THANKS!

[kabar]

It is also illegal to hire people who are here illegally. They are driving down American wages. It is not an even playing field.

[Gaffer]

While I disagree with Clarity on Perry and the true bad impact of legitimizing these ‘child’ [that’s what everyone on their side wants you to thing] students by giving them in-state tuition, I don’t think Clarity is a traitor - just overzealous in support of Perry.

[rustbucket]

Texas Hispanics do seem to vote by ethnicity.

The instate tuition for illegals situation impacted me a few years ago. My youngest son had a job out of state for a few years. He came back to Texas to finish a degree. But the university treated him as an out of state student although he'd graduated from a Texas high school and I, a Texas resident, was paying his education expenses. They wouldn't change their decision.

[wardaddy]

I can’t tell if these folks are open borders or they were just so in love with Perry that they are trying to salvage him

Hell I was prepared to accept Perry too till he frigging imploded over illegals.

Let me tell folks here...if Texas goes majority Latino and the way they vote..we are done as a nation

you guys call it however you like...at least 70% of Latinos vote Democrat...everywhere...some worse like Puerto Ricans who ID as sorta Africoid urban often and some not so bad like older Cuban patriots

but the latest bunch...the ones in line....the millions..the ones doing work for less natives don’t want..Democrat baby...don’t be a fool

We cannot handle losing Texas electorally too...no way in Hell.

[cripplecreek]

There’s a reason all but about two Texas border counties voted democrat. Meanwhile, here in Michigan, we routed the democrats in the last election.

[rustbucket]

Correction: My chart was for Houston voters, not all Texas voters. There are more Hispanics than Anglo whites in Houston and more Hispanics than blacks.

My figures came from the Houston Chronicle, which published vote results by area of the city and by groups of voters (Hispanics, blacks, affluent white, etc.).

WSJ says “agriculture can’t find enough workers” to pick crops------so they need illegals.

Illegals are more likely to be collecting US government checks than picking crops, despite the incessant latino propaganda. They use multiple identities to suckup numerous govt freebies, riding the US gravy train. Jose Madrigal, the Washington state rapist, had some 30 identities. Another illegal used multiple fake ID's to collect $3.5 million unemployment checks. Most of these "impoverished immigrants" pay several thousand dollars to establish multiple identities. They also get SS no's for anchor babies and use the no's themselves to suckup numerous US govt freebies.

RIDING THE US GRAVY TRAIN An illegal alien w/ wife and five children violates our borders. He gets a job mowing lawns for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that low wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, so each year, he files an Income Tax Return to get "EITC---earned income credit" of up to $3,200 scot-free. He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent. He qualifies for food stamps and no deductible, no co-pay free health care. His children get free school breakfasts and lunches. The kids qualify for monthly SSI checks, faking ADD; the illegal and his wife get SSI if they fake being aged, blind or disabled; SSI qualifies them for Medicare. Plus illegals don't worry about pricey items like car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance, and qualifies for relief from high energy bills.

NOTE WELL: Earned Income Tax Credit is available only to immigrant workers who obtain legal work status. But the law allows immigrants to claim EITC for up to three years prior to obtaining that status. Workers simply file a tax return for the years in which they were not legally eligible to work in the US. The most widespread abuse stems from the requirement that children live with the worker for more than six months of the year. IRS does little to verify the claim. Many immigrants claim non-existent children, or claim children who they’ve left behind with relatives. Those with two or more children and income below $32,121 could get as much as $4,008. It is estimated that illegals got $22 billion.

===========================================

THE LUCRATIVE PHONY ID BUSINESS---DOCUMENTS FOR A PRICE July 21, 2006 -- Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity.

The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker. The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses for any state in the US, passports and resident alien cards, said state police.

Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot. Authorities wouldn't identify the NJ hotel by name for fear it would spark retribution from savage drug cartels operating in the US.

The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout.

L/E approached the Texas brothers when they returned to the NJ hotel and questioned them separately. The Texas brothers consented to a search.

Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs.

All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street. Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 fake Social Security cards. ####
