I, Tina Griego, a journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote a column titled, "Mexican Visitor's Lament."
I interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said, "Illegal aliens pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes. What happens to your country's economy if 20 million people go away?"
Hmmm, I thought, what would happen?
So I did my due diligence, buried my nose as a reporter into the FACTS I found below.
It’s a good question… it deserves an honest answer. Over 80% of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers I found may surprise you!
In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals, and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominant language again.
In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grandchild would move back "home," mostly to Mexico. That would save Colorado an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 billion) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.
Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.
Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67% dropout/flunk rate because of thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado. Denver's 4% unem ployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.
In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America, the rule of law, and English.
In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.
If 20 million illegal aliens returned ‘home,’ the U.S. Economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn’t be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local, state and city coffers.
No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.
We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country.
In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the '18th Street Gang' would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!
Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens!
America's economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get rich. Over $80 billion annually wouldn’t return to the aliens’ home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America 's economy which currently suffers an $8.7 trillion debt. $8.7 trillion debt!!!
At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupt out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act. Americans wouldn’t suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country – brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.
Our cities would see 20 million fewer people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities. It would also put the 'progressives' on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11% of our greenhouse gases.
Over one million of Mexico's poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas, to San Diego, California, in what the New York Times called, 'colonies' or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, roads, electricity, or any kind of sanitation.
The New York Times reported them to be America's new 'Third World' inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonials. (I've seen them personally in Texas and Arizona; it's sickening beyond anything you can imagine.)
By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico. We should invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico. We already invite a million people into our country legally annually, more than all other countries combined. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation.
It's time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life.
Interesting Statistics!
Here are 14 reasons illegal aliens should vacate America, and I hope they have forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them:
1. $14 billion to $22 billion dollars are spent each year on welfare to illegal aliens (that's Billion with a 'B')
3. $7.5 billion dollars are spent each year on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
4. $12 billion dollars are spent each year on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they still cannot speak a word of English!
5. $27 billion dollars are spent each year for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
6. $3 Million Dollars 'PER DAY' is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. That’s $1.2 Billion a year.
7. 28% percent of all federal prison inmates are illegal aliens.
8. $190 billion dollars are spent each year on illegal aliens for welfare & social services by the American taxpayers.
9. $200 billion dollars per year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in t he US.
11. During the year 2005, there were 8 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our southern border with as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from other terrorist countries. Over 10,000 of those were middle-eastern terrorists. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin, crack, guns, and marijuana crossed into the U.S. from the southern border.
12. The National Policy Institute estimates that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion, or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.
13. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $65 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin, to their families and friends.
14. The dark side of illegal immigration: Nearly one million sex crimes are committed by illegal immigrants in the United States!
Total cost a whopping $538.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR!
You said it, brother. Give it.
w/o having read the article completely one thing comes to mind,
Minimum wage would actually probably rise as business competed for available workers, demonrats should be happy, however demonrats are never happy
How many congressional seats would California lose?
The money quote: “America’s economy is drained.”
This is the dirty secret about illegals. All countries who consider themselves a part of the “first world” survive on a model that depends on a growing economy. If something were to happen to one of those countries that “drained the econom”, it would be catastrophic. And removing all of those people would not just free up all those goods and services they use. It would reduce their size. i.e. not as many employees would be needed. Not as much food would be needed. Not as many cars, DVD players, tv sets, etc. It would effectively shrink the economy, and severely.
This is how wars are started.
Nobody noticed the difference on the day without a mexican so they swept that bad idea under the carpet.
Great article but seemed to double dip on the welfare category.
We have almost none around here. White guys mow lawns if the owners dont. Everything seems to go along ok without mexicans except at the local poultry operation where they love mexicans since they are the only ones who work for minimum wage and keep their mouth shut.
And the Moonbats complain a 20 billion dollar Wall is too expensive.
Pass this around for information and perspective.
If someone steals your Television and later they are caught and the stolen property is returned, how is the poor thief suppose to watch TV?
These people will do ANYTHING to insure the United States of America is destroyed. They have left logical behind years ago.

Due to our country’s survival depending on a growing economy, the only way I can see getting rid of the illegals as a good thing is if, at the same time, we stop giving welfare to able bodied people. i.e. those currently living on the government dole replace the illegals at the jobs they did - or they starve to death. Their choice.
I’d LOVE to deport every single illegal and anchor baby, but they have become such an embedded part of this country that is would destroy it. Of course, there is a lot to be said for the Phoenix...
Not necessarily. It depends on whether or not gringos keep electing demonicRATS. In which case, all that extra dough would go to Unions, pensions, lucrative benefits for government workers, etc.
Then what would it be like to have no guest workers as well?
It would mean that citizens would actually have a chance for entering more skilled work and keeping it. That, and a case could be made to recruit and re-train less-ideal candidates (e.g. long-term jobless and those duressed by offshoring) to backfill.
Getting rid of every one of them is a risk im willing to take.
The country isnt being destroyed as it is?
while i totally believe these numbers i wish there was some documentation for when i argue with my liberal friends.
If 20M leave today, tonight, we’re gonna party like it’s 19.99M.
Loud playing of “Happy Days are Here Again!”. Lots of confetti flying. YUGE tax cuts at every level....
I am struggling to see a downside to this.
Crime would drop.
Billions of dollars would not be stolen from taxpayers.
Housing would become more affordable.
Traffic would ease.
I’m not seeing any downside.
I work in the building material supply industry. There is no doubt that many of our customers use illegal laborers to build their houses.
I will admit that these guys work and work hard.
But, they need to go. It’s too often when I roll up on a jobsite and no one even speaks English.
The self-deportation and forced deportation will have a big effect on the building trades, which are already undergoing a labor crunch. But I also see it as a benefit. Young people will see the wisdom of a career in the trades. (My son is planning such a career)
There will be a period of time where building will slow due to loss of labor, but soon, Americans will again take up the mantle of craftsmanship.
I also foresee a time when Hispanics can come back, through a legal guest worker program and get back to work as well.
OOPS See my post #76. I (obviously) had not read all of the comments yet. We think alike!
I got on the Michael Medved show once and said basically what you did, only on a subject other than illegal immigration.
He was shocked that I wanted to “see the country destroyed”.
What these guys don’t get is that there is teeth in the phrase, “you gotta break some eggs to make an omelette.” Our founding fathers knew this. One of the phrases I loved from the mini-series on John Adams was regarding sacrifice. It was along the lines of people being willing to sacrifice their life for freedom, but not willing to sacrifice their comfort.
This is the problem we have. Any real solution to our country’s woes (and really every 1st world country today) is going to cause a great deal of REAL pain to the average citizen - at first. Unfortunately, not enough are willing to make that sacrifice so we will simply ride this train to the end. And the farther we go, the more it will hurt when the train does stop.
