Mexicans Say Amnesty Will Boost Illegal Immigration
If
President Obama keeps his promise of giving the nation’s 12
million illegal aliens amnesty it will encourage more Mexicans to enter the
United States, according to residents of the struggling Latin American country
who are undoubtedly rooting for the commander-in-chief’s plan.
The
majority of illegal immigrants in the U.S. are from Mexico therefore the
president’s reprieve project will greatly affect that nation. Two-thirds of
Mexicans say they know someone living in the United States and around one-third
have an immediate member of their household or close relative living in the
U.S.
A
majority of those residing south of the border say legalizing their
undocumented countrymen will inspire more Mexicans to head north, according to
a recent survey conducted by an internationally known polling and market research company. A vast majority of Mexicans
with a relative in the United States said a legalization program would make
people they know more likely to go to America illegally.
The
results of the survey were made public this week by a research organization dedicated to studying the
economic, social, fiscal and demographic impacts of immigration in the U.S. It
reveals that nearly one-third of Mexican residents (nearly 40 million people)
would like to live in the U.S. and if there was an amnesty a large number would
come illegally with the hope of qualifying for a future exoneration.
An
amnesty, therefore, would stimulate more illegal immigration which is the last
thing this country needs. Furthermore, rewarding those who have violated our
nation’s laws with coveted U.S. residency and possibly citizenship demeans the
system, especially for those who follow the appropriate steps to come
lawfully.
It’s
bad enough that U.S. taxpayers annually dish out billions of dollars to
educate, medically treat and incarcerate illegal aliens who are, in many cases,
depleting local governments. Los Angeles County alone spends more than $1 billion a
year,
including $48 million a month in welfare costs, to provide services for illegal
aliens. The crisis is hardly limited to border states, which have traditionally
been the most impacted. Georgia’s skyrocketing illegal population costs
taxpayers nearly $2 billion a year.

ILLEGAL ALIEN POPULATION MAY BE AS HIGH AS 38 MILLION
Study:
Illegal alien population may be as high as 38 million A new report finds the
Homeland Security Department "grossly underestimates" the number of
illegal aliens living in the U.S. Homeland Security's Office of Immigration
Studies released a report August 31 that estimates the number of illegal aliens
residing in the U.S. is between 8 and 12 million. But the group Californians
for Population Stabilization, or CAPS, has unveiled a report estimating the
illegal population is actually between 20 and 38 million. Four experts, all of
whom contributed to the study prepared by CAPS, discussed their findings at a
news conference at the National Press Club in Washington Wednesday. James
Walsh, a former associate general counsel of the Immigration and Naturalization
Service, said he is "appalled" that the Bush administration, lawyers
on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and every Democratic presidential candidate,
with the exception of Joe Biden, have no problem with sanctuary cities for
illegal aliens. "Ladies and gentlemen, the sanctuary cities and the people
that support them are violating the laws of the United States of America.
They're violating 8 USC section 1324 and 1325, which is a felony -- [it's] a
felony to aid, support, transport, shield, harbor illegal aliens," Walsh
stated. Walsh said his analysis indicating there are 38 million illegal aliens
in the U.S. was calculated using the conservative estimate of three illegal
immigrants entering the U.S. for each one apprehended. According to Walsh, "In
the United States, immigration is in a state of anarchy -- not chaos, but
anarchy."

Nothing
about illegal immigration quite adds up… THIS MAY BE BECAUSE IT’S ONLY A SHAM!
OBAMA SAYS HE WANTS TO IMPLEMENT E-VERIFY IN THE NEWEST AMNESTY SCAM. BUT HE
HAS SABOTAGED IT NATIONWIDE. WORKPLACE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS PROHIBITING THE
EMPLOYMENT OF ILLEGALS PLUMMETED UNDER OBAMA 70%.
BORDER SECURITY IS VIRTUALLY
NON-EXISTENT.
LA RAZA PREFERS THE KIND OF MEXICAN
WELFARE STATE THAT THE DEMS HAVE CREATED IN MEXIFORNIA. IT COSTS LEGALS $22
BILLION PER YEAR, AND THE ILLEGALS STILL GET THE JOBS!
When
the Pew Research Center recently surveyed Latinos and asked whether they
preferred high taxes and big government or low taxes and small government, they
preferred high taxes and big government by a 75–19 margin.

AT THIS LINK:
Nothing about illegal immigration quite adds up.
Conservative corporate employers still support the idea of
imported, cheap, non-union labor — in a strange alliance with liberal
activists who want the larger blocs of Latino voters that eventually follow
massive influxes from Latin America.
Yet how conservative are businesses that in the past
flouted federal law — and how liberal are activists who undermined the
bargaining power of American minimum-wage, entry-level workers, many of them
minorities?
The remedies for illegal immigration under discussion are
just as incoherent. If the government now plans to offer some foreign
nationals a pathway to citizenship, does it also suddenly have the will to
determine who among illegal immigrants does not qualify for citizenship?
Millions of illegal immigrants have resided in the United
States for some time. They have not been convicted of crimes. And they have
been hard-working and self-supporting. But if the majority deserve a chance
to obtain legal residence and begin the process of citizenship, what about
others who would not qualify under those same considerations?
There is talk of reforming legal immigration as well.
Under the proposed system, from now on we would select most immigrants for
citizenship not by their place of origin, or by the fact of their prior
illegal residence in the United States, but on the basis of needed skill sets
and education and their willingness to wait in line legally.
Yet are loud proponents of “comprehensive immigration
reform” really willing to embrace the reforms they boast about? It might spell
the end of privileging millions from Latin America to enter the United States
without requisite concern about legality, education, English fluency, or
particular skill sets.
Massive illegal immigration is not ethnically blind or
based on education. For decades it has favored more proximate Latin American
arrivals who can easily cross the U.S.-Mexican border over those from distant
Asia, Africa, or Europe who simply cannot.
The politics of immigration are just as weird. Democrats, buoyed by the two election victories of Barack
Obama, now welcome large pools of new Latino citizens to vote en bloc for
Democratic candidates. But if the border were actually closed and
immigration were once again handled through a legal, systematic process, then
in time Latinos — in the pattern of Greek, Italian, and Armenian Americans —
would follow most other ethnic minorities and decouple their ethnic
allegiances from politics.
Republicans seem more confused. After needlessly bombastic
talk in the 2012 presidential primaries, they have gone to the other extreme
of emphasizing amnesties instead of enforcement — largely in efforts to
pander to growing numbers of Latino voters.
Here, too, paradoxes abound. Various polls suggest that
immigration was not the primary reason why Latinos voted overwhelmingly for
Barack Obama.
When the
Pew Research Center recently surveyed Latinos and asked whether they
preferred high taxes and big government or low taxes and small government,
they preferred high taxes and big government by a 75–19 margin. And they
usually see liberal Democrats as far better stewards of redistributionist
government, and Republicans more as heartless advocates of a capricious free
market.
Asian Americans, for whom illegal immigration is not
really an issue, voted for Democrats by about the same margins as did Latinos
— and perhaps because of similar perceptions of minority-friendly big
government.
Moreover, the largest concentrations of Latino voters are
in southwestern blue states such as California, New Mexico, and Nevada, where
Republicans usually lose anyway, and for a variety of reasons other than
immigration. Ironically, the best long-term strategy for Republicans would be
to close the border and allow the forces of upward mobility, assimilation,
and the natural social conservatism of Latinos to work.
Everyone talks grandly of passing bipartisan comprehensive
immigration reform as if the present system had not sprung up to serve the
needs of all sorts of special interests that certainly have not gone away.
We forget that too many employers still want
the cheap labor of foreign nationals.
The
Mexican government still promotes illegal immigration as a political safety
valve and a valuable source of cash remittances.
Too many ethnic activists, whose support derives from
large numbers of under-assimilated Latinos, don’t want to deport anyone and
do not welcome legal immigration redefined by ethnically blind, skill-based
criteria.
Democratic politicos don’t want closed borders, only to
see the melting pot someday turn their loyal supporters into independent
voters. And panicky Republicans simply have no idea what they want — other
than to cater to as many constituencies as they can.
The present system of immigration is far too often illegal
and immoral. But it is also weirdly rational in the way that it serves so
well so many lobbies — and so poorly the shared public interest at large.

Where
To Go When Your Local Emergency Room Goes Bankrupt?"
THE QUESTION SHOULD BE WHERE DO ILLEGALS GO FOR
“FREE”MEDICAL.
During the past ten years 84 California hospitals have declared bankruptcy and closed their Emergency Rooms forever. Financially crippled by legislative and judicial mandates to treat illegal aliens have bankrupted hospitals! In 2010, in Los Angeles County alone, over 2 million illegal aliens recorded visits to county emergency rooms for both routine and emergency care. Per official figures, the cost is $1,000 dollars for every taxpayer in Los Angeles County.
