Nothing crap about it. So living here and getting all of the bennies is of no profit to the criminal illegal aliens? Really? Then why do they come here?
Robbers, burglars, dope dealers, etc also pay sales taxes when they buy things with their proceeds. Want to give them a pass as well? If not, why not?
What's "crap" is how the Feds have stuck border states with this problem and then walk.
ICE blamed for Texas parolee law delayThe state has been unable to enforce a new law designed to increase the deportations of illegal immigrants from the Texas prison system amid concerns that federal immigration officials are unprepared to handle the anticipated influx of convicted criminals, state officials said.
Under the new law, which was scheduled to take effect Sept. 1, state prisoners who are granted parole and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials must either be deported or leave the country voluntarily - or risk being returned to state custody to serve out the remainder of their sentences.
The law was crafted to address a vexing problem identified by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, which reported granting parole to some illegal immigrants and turning them over to ICE - only to later learn that they were not removed from the country, said state Rep. Jerry Madden, R-Plano.”………………..
Mexico’s drug war is giving growers a break EL BARRIL, Mexico — The Mexican government is allowing domestic marijuana and opium poppy production to climb to record levels, as soldiers who once cut and burned illegal crops here in the vast Sierra Madre mountains are being redeployed to cities to wage urban warfare against criminal gangs.
Since President Felipe Calderon ordered his troops into the streets in late 2006, the acreage dedicated to marijuana farming has nearly doubled in Mexico, according to technical reports by the U.S. government and the United Nations, data provided by the Mexican military, and interviews with law enforcement agents and growers.
The acreage devoted to opium poppies has also soared, according to the U.S. State Department, making Mexico the second-leading heroin producer in the world, after Afghanistan, whose crop goes mostly to Europe and Asia.......
“Yes, it is a change in strategy, as the army now gives priority to catching criminals and seizing cocaine, which is far more valuable to the cartels” than marijuana or heroin, said Raul Benitez, an expert in drug trafficking and national security at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
The Mexican government, Benitez said, also cares less about marijuana cultivation these days because the U.S. government appears to care less.”………………..
Still no solution for illegal immigrants' long-term care costs…………..”Still, the real problem isn't hospitals, which transfer most all patients, both U.S. citizens and illegal immigrants, once urgent care is no longer needed and the bed is needed for other patients. It's long-term care facilities, unable to afford to accept patients, like Martinez, who don't have insurance. It remains for hospitals, obligated by federal regulation to arrange post-hospital care for those who need it, to find alternatives and to provide care indefinitely if they can't....
How the Texas system works has been explained MANY times, and it does not equate to a “pass” on anything. You duplicitously bring in crimes such as robbery, burglary, dope dealing then suggesting that because they pay sales tax on their purchases, they ought to be given a pass on their felonies. How can anyone take seriously such reasoning?
I don’t want to go into a complete teaching exercise with you because I suspect that you are immune to learning. Suffice it to say that there are substantial hurdles that must be met by anyone wishing to take advantage of the Texas system, and I’m quite sure that any illegal that has been convicted of a felony offense would not qualify, just as such an individual would not qualify to join the United States Armed Forces.
You are aware, are you not, that US citizenship is not a requirement for joining the Army, Air Force or Marines? You are aware, are you not, that service in the US armed forces provides a route to citizenship for these very “illegal aliens” you want to see deported? Does this constitute giving them a “pass”? Or perhaps you think they ought to serve time before being allowed to serve.
As for why these kids came here: their parent bundled them up and brought them. I know that does not make them legal, but is sure doesn’t make them career criminals either.
