the enemy. [22.3] In fact, racism as workplace discrimination can be seen

Study Looks at Babies Born to Illegal Immigrants
About 340,000 of the 4.3
million babies born in the United States in 2008 — or 8 percent — had at least
one parent who was an illegal immigrant, according to a study published Wednesday by the
Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan research group in Washington.
Because they were born in
this country, the babies of illegal immigrants are United States citizens. In
all in 2008, four million children who were American citizens had at least one
parent who was in the country illegally, the Pew study found.
Children of illegal
immigrants make up 7 percent of all people in the country younger than 18 years
old, according to the study, which is based on March 2009 census figures, the
most recent data on immigrant families. Nearly four out of five of those
children — 79 percent — are American citizens because they were born here.
About 85 percent of the
parents who are illegal immigrants are Hispanic, the Pew Center reported.
The Pew study comes as
lawmakers in Washington have been debating whether to consider changing the
14th Amendment of the Constitution, which grants citizenship to anyone born in
the United States. The controversy erupted after Senator Lindsey
Graham,
Republican of South Carolina, said in July that he might offer an amendment to
revoke birthright citizenship for the American-born children of illegal
immigrants.
Mr. Graham’s comments touched
a nerve with many Americans, who called in to talk shows to question whether
the children of immigrants who have violated the law by remaining in the United
States should be granted citizenship. But it was less clear that there was
strong support for altering the Constitution to address the problem.
A nationwide survey in June by the Pew Research Center for the People and the
Press, a group affiliated with the Hispanic Center, found that 56 percent of
those polled opposed changing the 14th Amendment, while 41 percent supported
it.
The study by the Pew Hispanic
Center casts light on an issue raised by Mr. Graham that prompted the current
debate. In an interview with Fox News last month, Mr. Graham said that many
illegal immigrants were crossing the border to have babies in this country to
gain citizenship for their children. “They come here to drop a child,” Mr.
Graham said.
The Pew figures showed that
over 80 percent of mothers in the country illegally had been here for more than
a year, and that more than half had been in the country for five years or more,
said Jeffrey S. Passel, senior demographer at the Pew Hispanic Center and the
co-author of the study, along with Paul Taylor, the center’s director.
“The combination of the
growing undocumented population through 2007, with more staying in the country
longer, creates a situation where we have seen increasing numbers of these
births over the last six or seven years,” Mr. Passel said. “Because the
immigrants are staying here, this is a young population, and they get married
and form families.”
Republican leaders and
conservatives have been divided over Mr. Graham’s proposal for a constitutional
amendment.
“What
the Pew estimate underlines is that this is a big problem,” said Mark
Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies,
a research group in Washington that advocates reduced immigration. “It really is
a subversion of national independence for people who break into your country
then to demand that their kids be U.S. citizens.”
But Mr. Krikorian, a
conservative, does not favor an immediate effort to amend the citizenship
clause of the Constitution. He said he wants to see tougher enforcement to
reduce the number of illegal immigrants in the country.
“The point is to shrink the
illegal population and prevent new illegals from coming in,” he said, “before
it’s appropriate to have the constitutional debate.”

A CASE STUDY OF WHAT BEING MEXICO’S “FREE” BIRTHING CENTER
COSTS:
*
Jose Herria
emigrated illegally from Mexico to Stockton, Calif., in 1997 to work as a fruit
picker. He brought with him his wife, Felipa, and three children, 19, 12 and 8
– all illegals. When Felipa gave birth to her fourth child, daughter Flor, the
family had what is referred to as an "anchor baby" – an American
citizen by birth who provided the entire Silverio clan a ticket to remain in
the U.S. permanently. But Flor was born premature, spent three months in the
neonatal incubator and cost the San Joaquin Hospital more than $300,000.
Meanwhile, oldest daughter Lourdes married an illegal alien gave birth to a
daughter, too. Her name is Esmeralda. And Felipa had yet another child,
Cristian. The two Silverio anchor babies generate $1,000 per month in public
welfare funding for the family. Flor gets $600 a month for asthma. Healthy
Cristian gets $400. While the Silverios earned $18,000 last year picking fruit,
they picked up another $12,000 for their two "anchor babies." While
President Bush says the U.S. needs more "cheap labor" from south of
the border to do jobs Americans aren't willing to do, the case of the Silverios
shows there are indeed uncalculated costs involved in the importation of such
labor – public support and uninsured medical costs. In fact, the increasing
number of illegal aliens coming into the United States is forcing the closure
of hospitals, spreading previously vanquished diseases and threatening to
destroy America's prized health-care system, says a report in the spring issue
of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons. "The influx of illegal
aliens has serious hidden medical consequences," writes Madeleine Pelner
Cosman, author of the report. "We judge reality primarily by what we see.
But what we do not see can be more dangerous, more expensive, and more deadly
than what is seen." According to her study, 84 California hospitals are
closing their doors as a direct result of the rising number of illegal aliens
and their non-reimbursed tax on the system. "Anchor babies," the
author writes, "born to illegal aliens instantly qualify as Disability
Income."citizens for welfare benefits and have caused enormous rises in
Medicaid costs and stipends under Supplemental Security Income and

WELFARE
FOR ILLEGALS IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY ALONE IS UP TO $600 MILLION PER YEAR… HOW
MUCH OF THAT DOES MEXICO PAY US BACK ON?

JUDICIAL WATCH
SANCTUARY COUNTY LOS ANGELES SPENDS $600 MILLION ON WELFARE
FOR ILLEGALS
County Spends $600 Mil
On Welfare For Illegal Immigrants
Last Updated: Thu, 03/11/2010 - 3:14pm
For the second consecutive year taxpayers
in a single U.S. county will dish out more than half a billion dollars just to
cover the welfare and food-stamp costs of illegal immigrants.
Los Angeles County, the nation’s most
populous, may be in the midst of a dire financial crisis but somehow there are
plenty of funds for illegal aliens. In January alone, anchor babies born to the
county’s illegal immigrants collected more than $50 million
in welfare benefits. At that rate the cash-strapped county will pay around $600
million this year to provide illegal aliens’ offspring with food stamps and
other welfare perks.
The exorbitant figure, revealed this week
by a county supervisor, doesn’t even include the enormous cost of educating,
medically treating or incarcerating illegal aliens in the sprawling county of
about 10 million residents. Los Angeles County annually spends more than $1
billion for those combined services, including $500 million for healthcare and
$350 million for public safety.
About a quarter of the county’s welfare
and food stamp issuances go to parents who reside in the United States
illegally and collect benefits for their anchor babies, according to the
figures from the county’s Department of Social Services. In 2009 the tab ran $570
million and this year’s figure is expected to increase by several million
dollars.
Illegal immigration continues to have a “catastrophic
impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers,” the veteran county
supervisor (Michael Antonovich) who revealed the information has said. The
former fifth-grade history teacher has repeatedly come under fire from his
liberal counterparts for publicizing statistics that confirm the devastation
illegal immigration has had on the region. Antonovich, who has served on the
board for nearly three decades, represents a portion of the county that is
roughly twice the size of Rhode Island and has about 2 million residents.
His district is simply a snippet of a
larger crisis. Nationwide, Americans pay around $22 billion annually to provide
illegal immigrants with welfare benefits that include food assistance programs
such as free school lunches in public schools, food stamps and a nutritional
program (known as WIC)
for low-income women and their children. Tens of billions more are spent on
other social services, medical care, public education and legal costs such as
incarceration and public defenders.

Anchor Babies Grab One Quarter of
Welfare Dollars in LA Co
The anchor baby scam has proven lucrative for illegal aliens in Los Angeles County, at considerable cost to our own poor and downtrodden legal citizenry.
The numbers show that more than $50 million in CalWORKS benefits and food stamps for January went to children born in the United States whose parents are in the country without documentation. This represents approximately 23 percent of the total benefits under the state welfare and food stamp programs, Antonovich said.
"When you add this to $350 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for health care, the total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers far exceeds $1 billion a year -- not including the millions of dollars for education," Antonovich said.
I love children and I'm all for compassion -- smart, teach-them-to-fish compassion. But when laws, the Constitution, and enforcement allow illegal aliens (the operative word here being "illegal") to insinuate themselves into our nation and bleed us of our precious financial resources, then laws, the Constitution and enforcement need to be changed.

Power
La Voz de Aztlan has produced a video in honor of the millions of
babies that have been born as US citizens to Mexican undocumented parents.
These babies are destined to transform America. The nativist CNN reporter Lou
Dobbs estimates that there are over 200,000 "Anchor Babies" born
every year whereas George Putnam, a radio reporter, says the figure is closer
to 300,000. La Voz de Aztlan believes that the number is approximately 500,000
"Anchor Babies" born every year.
The video below depicts the many faces of the "Anchor
Baby Generation". The video includes a fascinating segment showing a group
of elementary school children in Santa Ana, California confronting the
Minutemen vigilantes. The video ends with a now famous statement by Professor
Jose Angel Gutierrez of the University of Texas at Austin.

County’s Monthly Welfare Tab For Illegal
Aliens $52 Million
09/07/2010
As
the mainstream media focuses on a study that reveals a sharp decline in the
nation’s illegal immigrant population, monthly welfare payments to children of
undocumented aliens increased to $52 million in one U.S. county alone.
The
hoopla surrounding last week’s news that the annual flow of illegal immigrants
into the U.S. dropped by two-thirds in the past
decade overlooked an important matter; the cost of educating, incarcerating and
medically treating illegal aliens hasn’t decreased along with it, but rather
skyrocketed to the tune of tens of billions of dollars annually.
THIS
FIGURE DOES NOT INCLUDE EXTRA MILLIONS PAID FOR ANCHOR BABIES
Those
figures don’t even include the extra millions that local municipalities dish
out on welfare payments to the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants,
commonly known as anchor babies. In Los Angeles County alone that figure
increased by nearly $4 million in the last year, sticking taxpayers with a
whopping $52 million tab to provide illegal
immigrants’ offspring with food stamps and other welfare benefits for just one
month.
That
means the nation’s most populous county, in the midst of a dire financial
crisis, will spend more than $600 million this year to provide families headed
by illegal immigrants with welfare benefits. In each of the past two years Los
Angeles County taxpayers have spent about half a billion dollars just to cover
the welfare and food-stamp costs of illegal immigrants. Additionally, the county spends $550 million on public safety and
nearly $500 million on healthcare for illegal aliens.
About
a quarter of the county’s welfare and food stamp issuances go to parents who
reside in the United States illegally and collect benefits for their anchor
babies, according to the figures from L.A. County’s Department of Social
Services. Nationwide, Americans pay around $22 billion annually to provide
illegal immigrants with welfare perks that include food assistance programs
such as free school lunches in public schools, food stamps and a nutritional

Mexico Promotes Free U.S. Healthcare
For Illegal Immigrants
Time to wake up
people! With unemployment at 12% and the state going broke, our tax dollars are
going to pay for healthcare for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens. To the
tune of over a billion dollars a year!
Read on:
Mexico's government operates programs in about a dozen American cities that refers its nationals--living in the U.S. illegally--to publicly funded health centers where they can get free medical care without being turned over to immigration authorities.
The program is called Ventanillas de Salud (Health Windows) in Spanish and its mission is to help illegal immigrants find U.S. hospitals, clinics and other government programs where they can get free services without being deported for violating federal immigration laws.
Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Diego and Indiana are among the cities where Mexican consulates operate the health referral system which annually costs U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars. In Los Angeles County alone, illegal immigrants cost taxpayers nearly $440 million in health services annually and a whopping $1.1 billion statewide.
The Mexican consul in Los Angeles proudly announced that nearly 300,000 Mexicans in the area have benefited from his government's health referral program, which he says actually saves the county money by encouraging immigrants to seek preventive care rather than waiting for more expensive emergency treatment.
The Southern California operation promises to assess "consulate clients" for eligibility to government-funded health insurance and other primary care services and offers free legal assistance to those who are denied coverage. Its goal is to improve access to health services for immigrants of Mexican origin by formalizing a health education, medical home referral and insurance enrollment program.
In Chicago, the Mexican consul's Spanish-language web site heavily promotes the Illinois Department of Health's low-cost prescription medicine program for illegal aliens and various free medical services throughout the state. It encourages all Mexicans in the area to pursue the valuable U.S. government-financed services for their entire family.
The Indiana-based program boasts that it serves thousands of "Mexican nationals" living in that state as well as Ohio, Kentucky and southern Illinois. Mexican officials claim that its highly successful pro-health program sends out a clear message to other Mexican consulates throughout the country and the world.
Although these programs facilitate people to remain in the country illegally, Mexico is working hard to expand them to all 47 U.S. consulates to better serve its nationals. In the meantime, U.S. taxpayers will keep picking up the exorbitant tab of medically treating the millions who live in the country illegally.

SURGE OF
HEAVY BREEDING MEXICANS
More immigrants
While
the census information did not include demographic breakouts, immigration
groups were quick to claim that immigrants, and particularly Latinos, accounted
for much of the population growth, both here and across the country.
"Today's
data, coupled with recently released Census Bureau estimates, demonstrate that
the Latino population has significantly influenced how congressional seats are
apportioned among the states," the Mexican American Legal Defense and
Educational Fund said in a statement.
But
the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which supports controlled
immigration, called the population increase "enormous and unwelcome"
and a further strain on the country's natural resources.
"It
is increasingly clear that our immigration policies are divorced from the
social, economic and environmental realities that face our nation," said
its president, Dan Stein.
Latinos
represent the fastest-growing demographic group in the United States as well as
in Washington state. Census estimates for the 2005-2009 period released this
month show the Latino population in Washington grew 41 percent since 2000.
Nationally,
one-quarter of all births are to Latino mothers, compared with 19 percent in
Washington state, according to state figures.

FIFTEEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
LA RAZA “THE RACE”
by Michelle Malkin
Only in America could critics of a
group called "The Race" be labeled racists. Such is the triumph of
left-wing identity chauvinists, whose aggressive activists and supine abettors
have succeeded in redefining all opposition as "hate."
Both Barack Obama and John McCain
will speak this week in San Diego at the annual conference of the National
Council of La Raza, the Latino organization whose name is Spanish for, yes,
"The Race." Can you imagine Obama and McCain paying homage to a group
of white people who called themselves that? No matter. The presidential
candidates and the media have legitimized "The Race" as a mainstream
ethnic lobbying group and marginalized its critics as intolerant bigots. The
unvarnished truth is that the group is a radical ethnic nationalist outfit that
abuses your tax dollars and milks PC politics to undermine our sovereignty.
*
Here are 15 things you should know
about "The Race":
*
15. "The Race" supports
driver's licenses for illegal aliens.
*
14."The Race" demands
in-state tuition discounts for illegal alien students that are not available to
law-abiding U.S. citizens and law-abiding legal immigrants.
*
13. "The Race" vehemently
opposes cooperative immigration enforcement efforts between local, state and
federal authorities.
*
12. "The Race" opposes a
secure fence on the southern border.
*
11. "The Race" joined the
American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in a failed lawsuit attempt to
prevent the feds from entering immigration information into a key national
crime database -- and to prevent local police officers from accessing the data.
*
10. "The Race" opposed the
state of Oklahoma's tough immigration-enforcement-first laws, which cut off
welfare to illegal aliens, put teeth in employer sanctions and strengthened
local-federal cooperation and information sharing.
*
9. "The Race" joined other
open-borders, anti-assimilationists and sued to prevent Proposition 227,
California's bilingual education reform ballot initiative, from becoming law.
*
8. "The Race" bitterly
protested common-sense voter ID provisions as an "absolute disgrace."
*
7. "The Race" has
consistently opposed post-9/11 national security measures at every turn.
*
6. Former "Race" president
Raul Yzaguirre, Hillary Clinton's Hispanic outreach adviser, said this:
"U.S. English is to Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks." He
was referring to U.S. English, the nation's oldest, largest citizens' action
group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the
United States. "The Race" also pioneered Orwellian open-borders
Newspeak and advised the Mexican government on how to lobby for illegal alien
amnesty while avoiding the terms "illegal" and "amnesty."
*
5. "The Race" gives
mainstream cover to a poisonous subset of ideological satellites, led by
Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan
(MEChA). The late GOP Rep. Charlie Norwood rightly characterized the
organization as "a radical racist group … one of the most anti-American
groups in the country, which has permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and
continues its push to carve a racist nation out of the American West."
*
4. "The Race" is currently
leading a smear campaign against staunch immigration enforcement leaders and
has called for TV and cable news networks to keep immigration enforcement
proponents off the airwaves -- in addition to pushing for Fairness Doctrine
policies to shut up their foes. The New York Times reported that current
"Race" president Janet Murguia believes "hate speech"
should "not be tolerated, even if such censorship were a violation of
First Amendment rights."
*
3. "The Race" sponsors
militant ethnic nationalist charter schools subsidized by your public tax
dollars (at least $8 million in federal education grants). The schools include
Aztlan Academy in Tucson, Ariz., the Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, Ariz.,
Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School in St. Paul, Minn., and La Academia
Semillas del Pueblo in Los Angeles, whose principal inveighed: "We don't
want to drink from a White water fountain, we have our own wells and our
natural reservoirs and our way of collecting rain in our aqueducts. We don't
need a White water fountain … ultimately the White way, the American way, the
neo liberal, capitalist way of life will eventually lead to our own
destruction."
*
2. "The Race" has perfected
the art of the PC shakedown at taxpayer expense, pushing relentlessly to lower
home loan standards for Hispanic borrowers, reaping millions in federal
"mortgage counseling" grants, seeking special multimillion-dollar
earmarks and partnering with banks that do business with illegal aliens.
*
1. "The Race" thrives on
ethnic supremacy -- and the elite sheeple's unwillingness to call it what it
is. As historian Victor Davis Hanson observes: "[The] organization's very
nomenclature 'The National Council of La Raza' is hate speech to the core.
Despite all the contortions of the group, Raza (as its Latin cognate suggests)
reflects the meaning of 'race' in Spanish, not 'the people' -- and that's
precisely why we don't hear of something like 'The National Council of the
People,' which would not confer the buzz notion of ethnic, racial and tribal
chauvinism."

The fringe is the center. The center
is the fringe. Viva La Raza.

The truth about the DREAM Act
Published
March 20, 2012
|
FoxNews.com
The
DREAM Act has become a rallying cry for President Obama, members of his
administration, and liberal Democrats everywhere. President Obama has vowed to
“keep fighting for the DREAM Act,” which would grant amnesty to millions of
illegal immigrants.
It’s
true when listeners or those polled don’t know the facts that the DREAM Act has
some appeal. After all, we are all naturally sympathetic when children are
involved.
But
the descriptions of the DREAM Act voiced by President Obama and his cohorts are
not accurate. And the consequences are never told.
DREAM
Act supporters claim that only children would benefit from such a bill, but the
facts tell another story. Under most DREAM Act proposals, amnesty would be
given to individuals up to the age of 30—not exactly children. And some other
proposals don’t even have an age limit.
These
supporters also maintain that illegal immigrants can’t go college without the
DREAM Act. But the truth is that illegal immigrants can already go to college
in most states.
And
ultimately, most versions of the DREAM Act actually don’t even force illegal
immigrants to comply with all the requirements in the bill, such as going to
college or joining the military. The administration can waive requirements
because of “hardship”at its complete discretion.
DREAM Act proposals are
also a magnet for fraud. Many illegal immigrants will fraudulently claim they
came here as children or that they are under 30. And the federal government has
no way to check whether their claims are true or not.
Such massive fraud occurred after the 1986 amnesty for illegal
immigrants who claimed they were agricultural workers. Studies found two-thirds
of all applications for the 1986 amnesty were fraudulent.
(ANYONE THAT THINKS THERE ARE ONLY 11 MILLION ILLEGALS IN OUR
BORDERS SHOULD COME VISIT CA! LOOK AROUND AND TRY TO FIND A NON-HISPANIC
ENGLISH SPEAKING LEGAL! CA IS NOW 40% ILLEGAL. NEVADA IS NOW 33% ILLEGAL.
COLORADO IS NOW 20% ILLEGAL. AND LA RAZA IS NOW MOVING INTO THE AMERICAN SOUTH)
And
this amnesty did nothing to stop illegal immigration. In 1986, there were about
three million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. Today, there are an
estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. and about seven million of
them work here, unfairly taking jobs from unemployed Americans.
While DREAM Act
supporters claim that it would only benefit children, they skip over the fact
that it actually rewards the very illegal immigrant parents who knowingly
violated our laws. Once their children become U.S. citizens, they can petition
for their illegal immigrant parents and adult siblings to be legalized, who
will then bring in others in an endless chain.
This
kind of chain migration only encourages more illegal immigration, as parents
will bring their children to the U.S. in hopes of receiving citizenship.
President Obama tried to
get the DREAM Act passed during a lame duck session about a year ago but it
faced bipartisan opposition in Congress. This hasn’t stopped the administration
from passing its agenda. The Obama administration does everything it can to let
illegal immigrants stay here, which compounds the problem.
Political
appointees at the Department of Homeland
Security recently issued new deportation guidelines that amount to
backdoor amnesty and strike another blow at millions of unemployed U.S.
workers.
Under
the administration’s new deportation policy, DHS officials review all incoming
and most pending cases before an immigration court to determine if the illegal
immigrant can remain in the U.S. Since the administration has made clear that
many illegal immigrants are not considered priorities for removal, including
potential DREAM Act beneficiaries, this could open the door to allow millions
of illegal immigrants to live and work in the U.S. without a vote of Congress.
The Obama administration
has also cut worksite enforcement efforts by 70%, allowing illegal immigrants
to continue working in jobs that rightfully belong to citizens and legal
workers. And the list goes on and on – this administration has a pattern
of ignoring the laws and intent of Congress.
The United States is based on the rule of law but the Obama
administration already has dirty hands by abusing administrative authority to
grant amnesty to illegal immigrants. The DREAM Act doesn’t stop illegal
immigration—it only encourages more of it by rewarding lawbreakers.

Immigration bill sticker
shock $127 BILLION (dated)
A government study puts the cost of the Senate's version of
reform at $127 billion over 10 years.
By Gail Russell Chaddock - Staff writer of The Christian Science
Monitor
WASHINGTON
The price tag for comprehensive immigration reform was not
a key issue when the Senate passed its bill last May. But it is now.
One reason: It took the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) -
the gold standard for determining what a bill will cost - until last week to
estimate that federal spending for this vast and complex bill would hit $127
billion over the next 10 years.
At the same time, federal revenues would drop by about $79
billion, according to the CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation. If lawmakers
fix a tax glitch, that loss would be cut in half, they add.
In field hearings across the nation this month, House GOP
leaders are zeroing in on the costs of the Senate bill. It's a bid to define
the issue heading into fall elections and muster support for the House bill,
which focuses on border security. They say that the more people know about the
Senate version, including a path to citizenship for some 11 million people now
in the country illegally, the less they will be inclined to support it.
“WE ARE NOW JUST BEGINNING TO SEE
A GLIMPSE OF THE STAGGERING BURDEN ON AMERICAN TAXPAYERS” OF THE MEXICAN INVASION.......
"We are now just beginning to see a glimpse of the
staggering burden on American taxpayers the Reid-Kennedy immigration
legislation contains," said House Judiciary Committee Chairman James
Sensenbrenner, who convened a field hearing at the State House in Concord,
N.H., Thursday on the costs of the Senate bill.
But business groups and others backing the Senate bill say
that the cost to the US economy of not resolving the status of illegal
immigrants and expanding guest-worker programs is higher still. "In my
opinion, the fairer question is: How will illegal immigrants impact the costs
of healthcare, local education, and social services without passage of
comprehensive immigration reform?" said John Young, co-chairman of the
Agriculture Coalition for Immigration Reform, at Thursday's hearing.
"Had we solved this problem in a truly comprehensive
way in 1986 ... we would not have the daily news reporting outright shortages
of farm labor threatening the very existence of agricultural industries coast
to coast," he adds.
Experts are poring over the new CBO data - and coming up
with radically different assessments of the social costs of reform, ranging
from tens of billions of dollars higher to a net wash.
On the issue of border security - a feature in both bills -
there is little disagreement. The CBO estimates that the cost of hardening US
borders in the Senate bill is $78.3 billion over 10 years, or about 62 percent
of the bill's total cost.
The fireworks involve new entitlement spending in the
Senate version. The CBO sets the price tag for services for some 16 million new
citizens and guest workers at $48.4 billion through fiscal year 2016. That
includes $24.5 billion for earned income and child tax credits, $11.7 billion
for Medicaid, $5.2 billion for Social Security, $3.7 billion for Medicare, and
$2.4 billion for food stamps.
But it's easier to estimate the cost of a mile of fence
than to assess the prospects for millions of workers, once they can work
legally and claim benefits.
“THE AMNESTY ALONE WILL
BE THE LARGEST EXPANSION OF THE WELFARE SYSTEM IN THE LAST 25 YEARS” Heritage
Foundation
"The amnesty alone will be the largest expansion of the
welfare system in the last 25 years," says Robert Rector, a senior analyst
at the Heritage Foundation, and a witness at a House Judiciary Committee field
hearing in San Diego Aug. 2. "Welfare costs will begin to hit their peak
around 2021, because there are delays in citizenship. The very narrow time
horizon [the CBO is] using is misleading," he adds. "If even a small
fraction of those who come into the country stay and get on Medicaid, you're
looking at costs of $20 billion or $30 billion per year."

What
will America stand for in 2050?
The US should think
long and hard about the high number of Latino immigrants.
By Lawrence Harrison
Palo Alto, Calif.
President Obama has
encouraged Americans to start laying a new foundation for the country – on a
number of fronts. He has stressed that we'll need to have the courage to make
some hard choices. One of those hard choices is how to handle immigration. The US
must get serious about the tide of legal and illegal immigrants, above all from
Latin America.
FROM 2005… DO YOU THINK IT’S BETTER
OR WORSE…?
Is Mexico still a nation?
A survey released last week by the
Pew Hispanic Center found more than four in 10 Mexicans are willing to leave
their country to live in the US. One in five would risk a dangerous, illegal
border crossing. Most surprising, one in three college graduates wants to flee.
Before Washington takes up immigration reform this fall, it needs to take a
hard look at Mexico's disillusionment.
Already, one in eight adults born in
Mexico now lives in the US. And the Mexican economy is kept afloat partially by
an estimated $16 billion sent back by immigrants to relatives.
Such numbers reveal a people so fed
up with Mexico's dysfunctional politics and stagnant economy that their
nationalism is wilting. While more than half of Mexico's 106 million people are
officially poor, the Pew survey found an inclination to migrate "evident
across a broad swath" of the population.
This wide push to leave is probably
now as strong as the pull of higher wages, social advancement, and family
connections in the US. And yet, Mexican leaders remain in denial about this
propensity for mass exodus.
