Univision will air a show tonight called "The American Dream - Tested"
Notice this twerp said the North American economy, not the American economy. Like I should be happy that illegal scumbag aliens are taking money out of our system and propping up Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, et al. By the way, an illegal alien I worked with last year bragged constantly about how he didn't pay taxes. Sure he paid sales tax, but he was an illegal, hired with bogus paperwork, working on a 1099, and sending most of his money back to Mexico.
"How many are stopped and how many manage to cross?"
I don't know how many, but as to how they get across, I say refer to a story I saw here a couple of weeks ago about a tunnel found outside of Tijuana that ran a couple of hundred yards into the US. Don't be surprised if dozens more have been dug all along the border. Why not? The North Koreans have been using tunnels for years to infiltrate the South.
"The undocumented immigrants in the United States - 8 million, according to the National Office of the Census- pay taxes, keep inflation under control, are a cheap source of manual labor for agriculture and the service sector, and sustain economically a population that is aging very fast."
Let's see...they also use up taxpayer resources, spread disease that American citizens are vaccinated against as kids (so I guess we oughta provide these illegal alien scumbags free medical care, too), pervert our education system through this bi-lingual teaching crap, drive on our highways without insurance (again, the scumbag I worked with last year...just guess who'd have to pay if he'd gotten into an accident? Yeah...you), etc. Pay taxes? Yeah right. Sustain economically? What the hell kinda gobbledegook is this? This brain stem already admitted they send 80% of what they make back home. The only economies they're sustaining are those in Central America and Mexico! Manual labor for agriculture? That's easy enough to fix...take these American welfare suck-offs and put them to work in the fields. That would trim the welfare rosters faster than anything.
Sorry, I'm just getting tired of this crap. Our nation is being invaded from the south just as Rome was invaded from the north...and no one seems to want to do a friggin' thing about it. This one's gonna bite us in the a** really soon.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
This must be the money that goes to drug cartels, Mexico is the number one supplier of illegal drugs to the US, all the drugs from Colombia go through Mexico first. Drugs are one of the biggest businesses in Mexico and it's making the politicians very rich.
I say DEPORTEMALLLETALLAHSORTITOUT !!!
It is MUCH MUCH HIGHER than that. This is pure propaganda. If they reported the real number which is probably well north of 20 million it would shake up even some liberals.
pay taxes, keep inflation under control, are a cheap source of manual labor for agriculture and the service sector, and sustain economically a population that is aging very fast.¨.
Most illegals don't pay taxes but that's beside the point. Saying that illegal labor keeps inflation under control is another way of saying that illegal labor depresses "legal" wages for many American citizens which is another way of saying that illegal aliens are displacing American citizens out of the job market and the ones that hang on can't earn a living wage.
If cheap labor is all-good and the end all be all for a healthy economy why don't we invite the entire population of China here? Better yet, let's just ask the entire world to immigrate to America--no restrictions of any kind. Imagine how cheap labor rates would be then and how low inflation would be. Who cares if we would be the largest 3rd world nation history as ever seen. We would be the United States of the World!
