The real cost of illegal immigration, and it's not avocados
Washington Times ^ | June 5, 2019 | Kelly Sadler

Last week, more than 1,000 immigrants surged through the U.S. southern border near El Paso, Texas — the largest number ever encountered by U.S. Border Control and Protection, with the previous record being set in the month of April, which was 424.

TOPICS: Culture/Society
KEYWORDS:
another $3 billion bankrolled through ‘cost-shifting,’ i.e. higher payments by insured patients to cover hospital uncompensated care losses


And you were wondering why your health insurance premiums were going through the roof. You pay your hospital bill plus you pay for the four or five illegals coming in behind you.

The number of illegals they’re intercepting in 2019 is TWICE as many as in 2018.

That makes it sound as if I’m saying they’re twice as dedicated to their jobs.

They MIGHT be dedicated, but that statistic is far, far more a measure of just how much worse our problem is in JUST ONE YEAR.

It was bad 20 years ago, but NOW..?

I see it on the buses when school is in session. I see it in lawn companies and houses being built.

It’s very much like the high cost of uninsured motorist coverage in California.

Drunken illegals are a huge cause of crashes and never have insurance.

Nowadays they can get licenses, with proof of insurance. They go to Pepe’s Aseguranza right next to the DMV for a certificate.

That will be the one and on,y time they will carry insurance.

They don’t finance cars, so there’s no reason to for insurance.

Illegals do most things in cash. Not to hide; they don’t care about that. They don’t trust banks; they’re used to Mexican banks.

The list goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population)
7) demonstrate English proficiency to acquire citizenship and pass civics test.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport.

Also consider reciprocation of the laws of the countries of origin of the illegal aliens. For example, Mexico doesn’t allow land ownership or voting to immigrants, and doesn’t honor birthright citizenship like its citizens expect from the U.S. We should offer the same deal to them.

I noticed in the last couple of days the media seems to be changing their stance on the border. They seem to be starting to say President Trump under stated the situation.

This country, under this political system, is incapable of doing ANY of the items on your list.

Send in the Marines. They have invaded central America for far less important objectives.

Establish a mititary government and close the borders, kill the corrupt politicians and their corruptors.

If the UN bitches, attack the UN and end the antiAmerican corruption there. Ig Democrats object, arrest and jail them for treason during time of war.

Attack, Attack ,Attack

We treat them like stray animals. We give them some food and bus ticket and let them wander off into the USA. The females of the breed strive to get pregnant and make that anchor baby.

Not to mention the fact that your local taxes go up to "educate" illiterate immigrant children who can't or won't speak English, at the expense of programs for students who actually belong in the school system.

Most of them show up already pregnant. Breeding prolifically is the one thing they’re very good at.

Now, those that were anchor babies 20 years ago are breeding like rabbits.

You’re off by almost a decade. They’re often grandparents a couple of times over by their early to mid-twenties.

Went to the local county fair on a weekday last fall. Had to go through a metal detector to enter the fair grounds which is something not needed in years past. The local school district had a field trip to the fair with the special education students. One hundred percent of these special needs children were Spanish speaking Hispanics. These kids can cost the district up to one hundred grand a year for everything from tutors to nurses. I checked and 28 percent of the school district budget goes for special education. Something needed and we are a compassionate society but can we afford to improt more?
