WASHINGTON’S
WAR ON LIVING WAGES STARTS AT OUR BORDERS. OPEN BORDERS, NO E-VERIFY,
NON-ENFORCEMENT HAS PUT MILLIONS OF “CHEAP” LABOR ILLEGALS IN OUR JOBS!
HOW “CHEAP”
IS THAT LABOR?
THERE ARE
ONLY EIGHT STATES WITH A POPULATION GREATER THAN LOS ANGELES COUNTY WHERE HALF
THE JOBS GO TO ILLEGALS. THIS SAME COUNTY PAYS OUT $600 MILLION IN WELFARE TO
ILLEGALS! IT ALSO HAS A TAX-FREE MEXICAN ECONOMY CALCULATED TO BE MORE THAN $2
BILLION PER YEAR!
LA RAZA
DEM GOV JERRY BROWN JUST SIGNED A LAW PUSHED BY THE LA RAZA FACTION OF THE
DEMOCRAT PARTY IN SACRAMENTO, MAKING IT ILLEGAL FOR EMPLOYERS TO USE E-VERIFY!

“Moreover, Professor Addy assumes
that employers will not make the adjustments necessary to convert to a legal
workforce by offering better wages, conditions, and benefits. Many of the jobs
done by illegal aliens only exist because employers have had access to
low-wage, illegal labor. Jobs necessary to the economy will remain, will offer
better pay to legal workers, and will boost tax payments as well as reducing
costs of providing for unemployed and /or impoverished legal residents of the
state.”
Cost Study Attempts
To Undermine AL Immigration Enforcement Law
Last
week, the University of Alabama Economist Samuel Addy released a study on the
state’s immigration enforcement law, HB 56, concluding that the law’s costs are
greater than its benefits. (Addy Report, January 2012)
Specifically, Mr. Addy finds that HB 56 will cause illegal aliens to leave
Alabama, leading a “reduction in aggregate demand.” (Addy Report, p.1) The
reduction in demand, Addy says, will cause: (1) a loss of jobs in the state,
(2) a reduction in Alabama’s gross domestic product, (3) a reduction in state
income and sales taxes, and (4) a reduction in local sales taxes.
Mr. Addy reaches these conclusions by setting forth what he
calls a “cost-benefit analysis” of the law. Addy sets forth several “potential
economic benefits” of HB 56 to the state. These include: (1) savings of public
benefits provided to illegal aliens, (2) improved public safety, (3) more
business, employment, and education opportunities for legal residents, and (4)
restoring the integrity of state programs and services. (Addy Report, p.3)
Remarkably, however, Addy dismisses these benefits as minimal and fails to
attributes any dollar amount to them. For example, he merely describes savings
from public benefits given to illegal aliens, including public education, as
“likely to be small and decline over time.” (Addy Report, p. 4) FAIR estimates
that the annual cost of educating children of illegal aliens alone is $187
million. (FAIR National Cost
Study, p. 48 (2010))
Unlike
his analysis of the law’s benefits, Mr. Addy is more explicit about what he
perceives to be the costs of HB 56. According to Addy, these include: (1) the
costs of implementation, enforcement, and litigation, (2) Increased costs for
citizens, legal residents and businesses, (3) Damage to the state’s reputation
reducing economic development opportunities, and (4) Economic impact of reduced
aggregate demand. (Addy Report, p. 5) Addy spends the bulk of his cost analysis
focusing on what he believes will be reduced economic demand resulting from
illegal aliens leaving the state. This reduced demand, Addy concludes, will
cause the state to lose anywhere from $2.3 to $10.8 billion in economic
activity—an “estimate” in which the highest figure is nearly five times the
lowest figure. (Addy Report, p. 9)
In
addition providing a lopsided cost-benefit analysis, Professor Addy’s principle
argument is that a reduced population necessarily means reduced economic
activity and therefore loss. This ignores the fact that a small state may have
a healthier economy and tax revenue per capita than a much larger state. (Gross
State Product) GSP only measures the sum total of economic activity in Alabama.
It is not an indicator of economic prosperity or income levels, or a measure of
the standard of living in the state. Quality of jobs is more important than
quantity in determining the economic health. If that were not true, a state
would be as willing to host sweatshops as high tech manufacturing plants, which
Professor Addy is implying Alabama should do.
Moreover, Professor Addy assumes
that employers will not make the adjustments necessary to convert to a legal
workforce by offering better wages, conditions, and benefits. Many of the jobs
done by illegal aliens only exist because employers have had access to
low-wage, illegal labor. Jobs necessary to the economy will remain, will offer
better pay to legal workers, and will boost tax payments as well as reducing
costs of providing for unemployed and /or impoverished legal residents of the
state.
Ironically,
the most reasonable conclusion from Professor Addy’s study is that HB 56 works.
His analysis of the impact of HB 56 is predicated entirely on the fact that
illegal aliens will leave Alabama. Thus, Professor Addy has acknowledges that
increased enforcement will deter illegal immigration.

THE ENTIRE REASON THE BORDERS ARE LEFT OPEN IS
TO CUT WAGES!
“We could cut unemployment in half simply by reclaiming the jobs
taken by illegal workers,” said Representative Lamar Smith of
Texas, co-chairman of the Reclaim American Jobs Caucus. “President Obama is on
the wrong side of the American people on immigration. The president should
support policies that help citizens and legal immigrants find the jobs they
need and deserve rather than fail to enforce immigration laws.”

MOST OF THE FORTUNE 500 ARE GENEROUS DONORS TO LA RAZA – THE MEXICAN
FASCIST POLITICAL PARTY. THESE FIGURES ARE DATED. CNN CALCULATES THAT WAGES ARE
DEPRESSED $300 - $400 BILLION PER YEAR!
“The principal beneficiaries of our current immigration policy are
affluent Americans who hire immigrants at substandard wages for low-end work.
Harvard economist George Borjas estimates that American workers lose $190
billion annually in depressed wages caused by the constant flooding of the labor
market at the low-wage end.” Christian Science Monitor

“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." (SOCIAL SERVICES TO ILLEGALS IN
CALIFORNIA ALONE ARE NOT UP TO $20 BILLION PER YEAR. WELFARE FOR ILLEGALS IN
NEVADA, NOW 25% ILLEGAL, IS SOARING!)

U.S. Taxpayers Spend $113 Billion Annually on Illegal Aliens
|
|
America has
never been able to afford the costs of illegal immigration. With rising
unemployment and skyrocketing deficits, federal and state lawmakers are now
facing the results of failed policies. A new, groundbreaking report from
FAIR, The Fiscal
Burden of Illegal Immigration on U.S. Taxpayers, takes a comprehensive
look at the estimated fiscal costs resulting from federal, state and local
expenditures on illegal aliens and their U.S.-born children.
Expanding
upon the series of state studies done in the past, FAIR has estimated the
annual cost of illegal immigration to be $113 billion, with much of the cost
— $84.2 billon — coming at the state and local level.

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.
