Stunning facts about the proposed immigration bill

SENATOR SESSIONS ON SECURING AMERICA'S BORDERS ACT Mr. President, I thank Senator Leahy, ranking member on the Judiciary Committee. I have received just this afternoon in my office some disturbing news in the form of correspondence from the Congressional Budget Office. It suggests a number of areas where the amendment we are talking about here today, No. 3424, the immigration so-called compromise, violates our budget and the rules of the Senate. Let me read from the correspondence we have received. This is something, as you know, Mr. President, as a member of the Judiciary Committee, that we never discussed at all. It is not a matter we spent any time at all discussing as we moved forward with legislation which ultimately cleared that committee and came to the floor — legislation which I thought was not good legislation and which I opposed, and so did the Senator from Texas, who just relinquished the Chair. We didn't discuss the financial impact of the legislation before us. Stand Up For America !

"We have room for but one flag, the American flag...
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Freeper's Against Illegal Immigration

If the Republicans lose control of the congress and/or senate, they have only themselves to blame! They hear our noise, but they don't want to listen. 3,474 posted on 05/11/2006 7:22:13 PM CDT by Smartass

Presently, we have 55 Republican senators and 230 something congressmen/women plowing America under, while wearing their constituent proof blinders. Once elected, they don't ever want to see or hear from you until the next election. Meanwhile, lobbyists, MSM, photo ops and foreign powers have open doors, written and instant telephone access that you only dream of. If the Republicans lose control of the congress and/or senate, they have only themselves to blame! They hear our noise, but they don't want to listen. 3,474 posted on 05/11/2006 7:22:13 PM CDT by Smartass

Post of the Day

by joanie-f Thanks Nicmarlo,kstewskis for the link:
Several years ago, when we found ourselves in the throes of the obscenity known as the second term of the Clinton administration, I found myself obsessing with the atrocities being perpetrated on the sovereignty of our republic and the safety of its citizens … obsessing to the point at which my concern interfered with my own everyday responsibilities and, sometimes, with my ability to obtain a good night’s sleep. More...

Republicans and immigration-Maybe some recent polls will put some backbone into Senate Republicans. But don't bet the rent money on it.

"Every nation goes down in this order:
(1) religious apostasy;
(2) moral awfulness;
(3) political anarchy.
Deterioration begins in the temple,
then to the home, and finally to the state.
That is the way a nation falls."

God bless the Minutemen, and their call to influence...our last remaining hope. 3,442 posted on 05/11/2006 2:33:28 PM CDT by nicmarlo

Rice, in Mexico says, "...if they violate the law, they will be held accountable" (*They being, in her words, the Minutemen vigilantes.} Citizens she represents IF they violate the law... who have not done so... will be held accountable. The illegals here... the Mexican army crossing our borders... oh, that kind of stuff... where is the accountability for violating those laws, Dr. Rice? 31 posted on 05/11/2006 12:37:17 AM CDT by exhaustedmomma

Mexican Women Beg: 'Close the Border' Not all Mexican women want to have “anchor babies” in the United States. The real Mexican women of Tecalpulco want their migrant men to come back home and take care of the babies they left behind. “Close the U.S. borders!” they say. “Send our men back home!”

[potlatch]

LOL, getting bad when you start pinging yourself!!

[JustPiper]

Thanks to For putting this all together

Claim: “Illegal immigrants do the jobs that Americans won’t.” False: Americans will perform any legal job necessary to support themselves and their families. As an illustration, recently 70 US citizens were dismissed from an Alabama construction site by a foreman who said the dismissal was “because the Mexicans had arrived”. Linda Swopes, who operates Complete Employment Services in Mobile AL said: "I assure you it is not true that Americans don't want to work. We had been told that 270 jobs might be available, and we could have filled every one of them with men from this area, most of whom lost their jobs because of the hurricane." The identified Mexican illegal immigrant workers were simply willing to work for less money than were US citizens.

Claim: “Illegal immigrants help the American economy.” False: Illegal immigrants to the US cost the country at least $10 billion more than they contribute to the economy. The CIS (Center for Immigration Studies) advises that if amnesty is put into place, these costs to the American economy (and the American taxpayer) will triple. The average illegal immigrant family uses $2,700/year more in services than it pays in taxes. In 2002, this amounted to a $10.4 billion drain on the federal budget. Some of the greatest federal costs included: Medicaid ($2.5 billion); treatment for the uninsured ($2.2 billion); food assistance programs ($1.9 billion); the federal prison and court systems ($1.6 billion); and federal aid to schools ($1.4 billion).

Claim: “Illegal immigrants are just hard-working people who want jobs.”
False: The US Justice Department reported that in 2003, alone, 270,000 illegal immigrants had served prison time. The Federation for American Immigration Reform reports: "In March 2000, Congress made public Department of Justice statistics showing that, over the previous five years, the INS had released over 35,000 criminal aliens instead of deporting them. Over 11,000 of those released went on to commit serious crimes, over 1,800 of which were violent ones; including 98 homicides, 142 sexual assaults, and 44 kidnappings. In 2001, thanks to a decision by the Supreme Court, the INS was forced to release into our society over 3,000 criminal aliens who collectively had been convicted of 125 homicides, 387 sex offenses, and 772 assault charges."

The Federal Bureau of Prisons estimates that fully one-third of current prison populations are comprised of non-citizen illegals

Islamic terrorists, including Mexicans with terrorist ties, have entered and are continuing to enter the US via our unsecured borders.

The violent MS-13 Salvadoran gangs have illegally immigrated across the US-Mexico border. MS-13 has also vowed to kill local police, Border Patrol agents and US citizen-members of the Minutemen project, within the US.

Justice Dept. Figures on Incarcerated Illegals

Other Than Mexicans-Are terrorists entering the United States through Arizona's border with Mexico? This question is getting a lot of media attention--so we sent Leo W. Banks to the border to find out what the buzz is all about.

Claim: “Illegal aliens help keep cost of goods down” Misleading and false: Although marketplace agricultural products are estimated to be somewhat lower than they would be if US citizens were performing the jobs illegals carry out, the cost to US taxpayers in free services to illegals vastly outweighs any savings to the US consumer. And illegal immigrants are no longer solely operating in agriculture but, have expanded out into multiple industries. In Los Angeles, 49-year old construction worker Michael Williams (jobless for 3 months) said outside of a Home Depot: "You have a lot of illegal aliens here. It takes food off the table." The spread of illegals into other industries is increasing geometrically.

Claim: “Illegal immigrants are being denied [their] civil rights” False: Civil rights pertain ONLY to citizens. The Merriam-Webster online Dictionary defines civil-rights as: “The nonpolitical rights of a citizen; especially: the rights of personal liberty guaranteed to U.S. citizens by the 13th and 14th amendments to the Constitution and by acts of Congress.” If one is not a citizen of the country, civil rights do not apply

Claim: “Illegal immigrants are law-abiding citizens” False: First and foremost, by the very nature of illegal immigrants being in the country “illegally”, they are neither following nor abiding by US law. Also, illegal immigrants are increasingly using bogus or stolen Social Security numbers. The crime of Identity Fraud being affected by illegal immigrants has become a growing and sever problem. Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) commented: "If the government bothered to look, it could find abundant evidence of illegal aliens gaming our system and the unscrupulous employers who are aiding and abetting them.”

Claim: “Illegal immigrants only want to become US citizens’ False: Although many illegals are demanding US citizenship, and to be given special consideration ahead of those who have applied legally, a marked number of Hispanics do not want it. But, they do demand the “same rights” as US citizens. Many Hispanic groups, including (but not limited to) MEChA, the Mexica Movement and LULAC, are supporting and working toward the re-conquest (“reconquista”) of the United States. These groups are, also, becoming increasingly militant.

Claim: “Illegal aliens are honest and contribute little to crime” Misleading: Many are hard working. However, in Los Angeles, alone, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide (which total 1,200 to 1,500) target illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (17,000) are for illegal aliens. “A confidential California Department of Justice study reported in 1995 that 60 percent of the 20,000-strong 18th Street Gang in southern California is illegal.”

Claim: “The claim that illegal immigrants drain US services is a myth” False: From the L.A. Times and Rice University’s Professor Donald Huddle: “Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops but 29% are on welfare.” And as far back as 1997, according to Huddle, the cost of illegal immigration to the American taxpayer was a net (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay) $69 Billion.

Claim: “Illegals do not drive down US workers’ wages” False: As already presented, illegal immigrants from Mexico are working for far less money than US citizen workers and on a regular basis. An 18 April 2006 article in WSJ by Professor of Economics and Social Policy at Harvard University George J. Borjas (“For a Few Dollars Less”) quotes Paul Samuelson: “…an increase in supply [of workers] will, other things being equal, tend to depress wage rates." Although Samuelson’s conclusions were, for years, disputed, recently they have been proving to be accurate.
