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!
Stand by for $10.00 Big Macs and $25.00 heads of lettuce. /sarc
Sales of spray paint would crater over night
This is typical globalist propaganda at it's worst..
90% of the country washes their own car, cleans their own house, mows their own grass and watches their own kid. They would be unaffected. Go over to the DU and preach your BS.
Bullshiite. Round ‘em up. I’ll take my chances on an illegal free driven economy.
Ping.
All true. There is no down side to getting rid of the illegals.
This is typical globalist propaganda at it’s worst..
And to be clear, I’m all for kicking every single one of them out. I’m just making the argument that it will have negative impacts in many ways on many communities. But people need to be willing to accept short term pain for long term gain.
You seriously misjudge my motives here.
But who would pick the lettuce?
Those on the welfare roles. No workee, no money.
Round ‘em up. I’ll take my chances on an illegal free driven economy.
And to be frank, one easy way to do it is to stop ALL government services to illegals. ALL of them. Kids would not even be allowed in public schools.
My only point is that, just as if we shut down half the government (which would also be a good thing), when you shrink the economy in a world where the economy depends on growth, it will be painful at first.
But it’s most definitely worth it.
1. Burglar Bar companies will be going out of business coast to coast except for Chicago and much of California
2. Police Forces can downsize
3. We won't have to build so many new prisons
4. No more: "Push 13 if you still speak English"
5. The Infectious Disease rate drops faster than Bill Clinton's skivvies at Jeff Epstein's teen-age whorehouse
Building would slow PRIMARILY because there would be no need for it. 20+ million people leaving, opens up a lot of housing.
The slow down in construction would be offset by the loss in labor. Citizen construction workers would continue, probably at an increased level, because illegals take up a disproportionate amount of construction jobs. Good construction jobs would open for young people looking to get in. Millenials, who feel no hope of a future, would now have hope.
Those same millenials would now have cash in handbuying things, versus the illegals who sent a lot back home.
If you have been listening to Medved, it’s no wonder you are confused. He has been a propagandist for the Cheap Labor Express for years.
Illegal aliens are destroying the country.
Removing them will save it.
US population in 1940 was 131 million people.
US casualties because of the war were 419,000.
The loss of these people didn’t destroy the country.
Not even close.
Then look what happened to the country in the following decades.
If we take 20 Million illegals.
Figure one fourth of them are productively employed.
The loss of them would be replaced by those now considered out of the labor force.
With the population decrease and the return of rightful citizens working, our labor participation would be back to peak levels.
U-6 unemployment would virtually match U-3 enemployment.
PLUS, if there was a shortage of labor in this country, THEN we could always open our legal immigration, allowing people to legally come into this country. But ONLY at OUR needs.
(1) I wouldn't have to wait in line so long to get my Driver's license renewed;
(2) My Emergency Department would not be overloaded by Mule Moms bringing their 4 kids in at 4AM for fevers they don't have (since apparently, the Mule Mom cannot afford a damn thermometer);
(3) My kids would have a better shot at getting into colleges;
(4) I wouldn't have to press 2 for English;
(5) I wouldn't have to navigate around clusters of illegal laborers in Home Depot parking lots;
(6) I wouldn't have to bend over backwards to make sure that someone who refuses to learn my country's language of commerce understands the medication instructions I am giving them so they don't overdose their anchor babies.

BREITBART REPORTED EARLIER: Among the terror jihadists that travel back and forth through our porous southern border w/ Mexico is a Kuwaiti refugee named Shaykh Mahmood Omar Khabir, an ISIS operative who lives in the Mexican state of Chihuahua not far from El Paso, Texas, authorities reported.
According to US intelligence, Khabir now provides training to thousands of jihadis – mostly from Syria and Yemen – at a base in near Ciudad Juarez, which is located just across the border from El Paso, Texas.
US authorities found out about this shocker during an investigation of food stamp fraud in a NJ bodega, as they looked into the store's wire-transfers (remittances).
The wire-transfers all seemed to trace back to one or two accounts in Mexico City.
Cooperating with Mexican Authorities, it soon became apparent that the bodega was aiding and abetting terror. Laundered money was wire-transferred from the NJ bodega to terror cells in Mexico.
The loss of these people didn’t destroy the country.
Not even close.
Then look what happened to the country in the following decades.
It was a completely different back story.
And, again, I’m not saying we shouldn’t do it. We most definitely should. I’m just saying it will not be a zero sum game, or even positive - at first. In the long run it will be MUCH better, however.
If we use the 20 million number.
Figure 1/4 of them are children.
The government spends about $10k per student on education, per year.
The only illegals who pay taxes, to pay for education,
are the ones with STOLEN SS numbers and IDs.
Then let’s do the math.
Lets say one of the illegals with stolen IDs “pays” taxes.
More than likely they are earning and reporting an income at or near poverty. Plus they have one, two or more kids, so they collect EITC money, offsetting any taxes that they would pay.
$35K for 2 incomes,
With one child, they’d have a federal taxable income of $10,150
They would pay $1,015 in federal income tax.
Give them the EITC for 1 child, of $3373
That is a net gain for them of $2358
Better yet, let’s look at it as a net loss for the US of $2358
Plus an additional $10k for education
US debt after the war was $241 Billion
It was 113% of our then current GDP
At the end of 2016, our debt was $19.5 Trillion
About 105% of our current GDP
