Even worse, 31 percent are simply not interested in U.S. citizenship. But are they interested in U.S. largesse?
In fiscal 2018, Mexico was the top country of origin for naturalization; unfortunately, 35 percent of Mexican green card–holders cite language and other personal barriers for their reason to not apply for citizenship. That corroborates that the best thing we can do for immigrants is help them learn English.
70% OF ILLEGALS GET WELFARE!
“According to the Centers for Immigration
Studies, April '11, at least 70% of Mexican illegal alien families receive some
type of welfare in the US!!! cis.org”
So when cities
across the country declare that they will NOT be sanctuary, guess where ALL the
illegals, criminals, gang members fleeing ICE will go???? straight to your
welcoming city. So ironically the people fighting for sanctuary city status,
may have an unprecedented crime wave to deal with along with the additional
expense.

Impermanent aliens?
In spite of Justice Sonia Sotomayor's intemperate and injudicious political activism, the Supreme Court voted to remove the last nationwide injunction against the Trump administration's stricter guidelines for immigrants who use public benefits. Under the now judicially augmented "public charge" law, legal aliens will at last become properly vetted. And, after demonstrating their citizenship bona fides, they will no longer be green to America's core principles.
That's a good thing, because it will confine citizenship only to people who want to contribute to the American dream. It might even encourage the best and brightest to apply.
Ken Cuccinelli, the acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services explained, "Through the public charge rule, President Trump's administration is reinforcing the ideals of self-sufficiency and personal responsibility, ensuring that immigrants are able to support themselves and become successful here in America." The updated rule broadens the criteria for "Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds," giving immigration authorities more discretion to ensure that immigrants seeking green cards are able to thrive without loitering around the public coffers.
Now that immigration policies will favor immigrants with skills, including English proficiency, the notion of permanent residence seems alien. We might cajole high-caliber immigrants who aren't a burden to taxpayers to apply for citizenship after proving their American-worthiness. After they've demonstrated a commitment to the unifying principles that bind us as Americans, it's expected that they shall enthusiastically embrace civic responsibility rather than teeter on the periphery as green card–toting permanent aliens.
In effect, the new rule could reduce family-based legal immigration by favoring immigrants with skills — imagine that! My compassionate conservatism hopes there's some room for altruism in our immigration system, but now that we've made America Great Again, why wouldn't we want to encourage the best and brightest immigrants to help Keep America Great?
The naturalization rate among all lawful immigrants in 2015 was 67% — at first glance, not bad, but that still means many millions of legal aliens remain permanently unpledged.

Even worse, 31 percent are simply not interested in U.S. citizenship. But are they interested in U.S. largesse? It just reinforces the importance of ensuring that immigrants don't become a public charge. If productive legal aliens love their chosen country, if they have remained off the dole, and if they respect our core values, then they should stand up and take the oath.
Concomitant with placing more value on American citizenship, we'll want to enhance the citizenship test and provide applicants the opportunity to recite the Pledge of Allegiance by — and with — heart. Learning English, and jumping through a few bureaucratic hoops, will ultimately promote civil engagement. Instilling civic pride might also help intellectually inoculate aliens from the preposterous promises that pandering politicians present to naïve constituents on the fringes. It's worth it — I know.
I may have cause to appreciate my homeland across the pond as much as most expats, but I couldn't stand the hypocrisy of being a permanent alien, so I became a U.S. citizen. I could tote two passports, but I don't — I have but one, and it is emblazoned with the Great Seal of the United States of America. It's beautiful!
The motto adorning our inspirational seal is E Pluribus Unum, so rather than harbor extra allegiances, permanent aliens should show some fidelity after five years of Americanization. Green card–holders now can live here in perpetuity, but why remain a permanent resident alien when naturalized citizenship, after five years of respectable residency, beckons? Eventually, it's time to get off the fence and show some loyalty. If you've been thoroughly vetted, and aren't a "public charge," eventually, integrity impels one to "renounce and abjure" allegiance to foreign potentates. Under the new guidelines, you can now speak English, and you're now not a public charge, ruling out any financial or administrative barriers. The only remaining excuse is lack of interest, which is disrespectful toward America's beneficence. It's also puzzling because choosing one's homeland, and trying to prove worthy of its heritage, is equally impressive to being American by the accident of birth — I know.

Deep State Saboteurs In EOIR Immigration “Courts” Can't
Even Keep Out Illegal Alien LAWYERS
01/15/2020
A+
|
a-
The Deep State is real, especially with
regards to illegal aliens and immigration law enforcement. While the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) is charged with the investigation and arrest of
illegal aliens, other Federal agencies have a role. One of the roles of the
Department of Justice (DOJ) is the criminal prosecution of illegal aliens and
the defense of actions by DHS in the enforcement of immigration laws.
The other responsibility of the DOJ in
immigration enforcement is the administration of the so-called immigration
courts, really the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).
The EOIR provides administrative hearings
for certain classes of aliens in removal proceedings or other administrative
action, such as recission of legal permanent residency or fraudulently obtained
citizenship documents. DOJ employees, including EOIR employees, take an oath of office to see that the
laws of the United States are faithfully executed. Among the responsibilities
of a Federal employee, including an employee of the EOIR is to report Federal
crimes that come to their attention.
But many in the bureaucracy think
themselves above the law, mostly because of Orange Man Bad; they are the
Resistance, the Deep State, the saboteurs. And in immigration law
administration at the EOIR they think they are real Federal judges, rather than
administrative employees like any other Federal employee. And these Deep State
saboteurs are quite open for their contempt for President Trump and his
immigration enforcement policy, so contemptuous that they are openly working
with an illegal alien in their courts.
This is not an illegal alien brought before
the court, but an illegal who represents other illegal aliens as an attorney.
Now, no one can serve as an attorney or be a member of the State Bar if they
are an ongoing crimina (it is an ethical violation) nor are they eligible to
represent an alien before the EOIR, as their status is inherently in conflict
with the very laws at issue.
But that is all fine with the EOIR office
in Los Angeles, they routinely allow an illegal alien into their courts, also a
violation of law, as no one may enter Federal property without legal
identification, and this illegal alien, Lizbeth Mateo, does not have valid
identification under the Real ID Act, which is required to
enter a Federal facility.
On Friday morning, attorney Lizbeth Mateo
went to immigration court in downtown Los Angeles to represent a client with
whom she has something in common.
She’s undocumented, too.
She’s undocumented, too.
Mateo wore a navy blue suit, carried a binder
stuffed with court records and announced herself to the immigration judge
conducting a hearing. She has no more protection from arrest and deportation
than any of her clients, but that’s not something she thinks about on the job…
Mateo says her own status does not come up in
court, and she’s never sure whether judges or other lawyers know that the
polished, savvy 34-year-old woman advocating on behalf of her clients does not
have legal status herself.
“I’m a walking contradiction,” Mateo had told
me a day earlier in her Wilmington law office.
[This Immigration
Attorney Understands Her Clients. She’s Undocumented, Too, by Steve Lopez, LAT,
January 11, 2020]
Now, the idea that the court employees do
not know about her status is a lie. She would have to reveal that status to
represent clients in immigration court as that would be a material fact. And
she has long been a public illegal alien, so most likely, everyone knows.
In 2013, Mateo and eight other activists —
they were known as the Dream 9 — made headlines by traveling south of the
border and then coming back north to protest immigration policy and 9 million
deportations during the Obama administration.
Some immigration reform activists cheered, while others feared the tactic could sabotage the chances of reform. Mateo and the others were arrested and Mateo was locked up for two weeks before being released back into the U.S.
Some immigration reform activists cheered, while others feared the tactic could sabotage the chances of reform. Mateo and the others were arrested and Mateo was locked up for two weeks before being released back into the U.S.
Another question is what is up with her
status? She has been arrested when she re-entered, is she in removal
proceedings? Is she a fugitive from removal? Was she paroled and has the parole
lapsed? Is she still in parole status, if so, why? Is ICE SVU just ignoring her?
Has she won the Obama Regime
Administrative Amnesty from ICE SVU?
But more importantly, she physically cannot enter a Federal
building or office without identification under the REAL ID
Act. At every EOIR office there are guards there, either Federal Protective
Service (FPS) Officers or contract
guards that are required to check identification. While illegal alien
defendants do not need that identification, all others do, including counsel
for illegal alien defendants.
Here we have the FPS not doing their job,
or, more likely, the Chief Immigration Judge has ordered guards to allow Mateo
entry. I think this is most likely.
But in any event, why is Rodin Rooyani,
Assistant Chief Immigration Judge, EOIR, Los Angeles, after this very public
and voluntary outing of Mateo as an illegal alien, allowing Mateo to appear in
court and not ordered her arrest?

California Appoints Illegal Alien to State Office
California
has its first illegal alien in state office, after Senate President pro Tem
Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) appointed Lizbeth Mateo to the
California Student Opportunity and Access Program Project Grant Advisory
Committee.
Mateo, an
attorney, was born in Mexico and came to the U.S. illegally at the age of 14
with her parents, who are also illegal aliens, according to the Sacramento
Bee.
In #lawschool I often wondered if I
was fit to b in #lawjournal, #mootcourt bc not many ppl w/ my
same background did. I always went for it bc even if I felt inadequate I
thought I could add something of value. I hope to do the same w/
@StudentAidCommission. #undocumentedunafraid https://twitter.com/AraceliMartinez/status/974076293850447872 …
Thank you Sen. @kdeleon for appointing me to the
CalSOAP Advisory Committee. I look forward to working w/ the rest of the
committee & the Student Aid Commission in such important task - increase
the accessibility of postsecondary education opportunities for low-income
students.
She complained that illegal aliens are not adequately
represented in state government, and described her appointment as a step
towards correcting that alleged injustice.
“While
undocumented students have become more visible in our state, they remain
underrepresented in places where decisions that affect them are being made,”
Mateo said, as quoted by Fox News.
De León, who is running for U.S. Senate against incumbent Sen.
Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), described Mateo as: “a courageous, determined and
intelligent young woman who at great personal risk has dedicated herself to
fight for those seeking their rightful place in this country,” according to Fox
News.
Mateo, however, seems somewhat confused about which country she
prefers.
In
a Facebook post in 2016, apparently
celebrating her graduation from Santa Clara University School of Law, Mateo
declared, in Spanish: “[E]verything is dedicated to Oaxaca, Mexico!! to that
land that I miss so much.”
While she is
the first illegal alien to hold a state office, she is not the first elevated
to public office in California. In 2015, the city council of Huntington Park,
California, appointed two illegal aliens to
city commissions, sparking a public backlash.
De León and other state officials are stoking an ongoing
confrontation with the federal government over federal immigration laws.

He added, “Illegal
immigration, in particular, drives down wages and inhibits job opportunities

Illegal immigrants in
growing numbers are flooding into so-called sanctuary cities and states where
they are consuming up to $6,500 in taxpayer-funded services, according to a new
review of costs in 10 small states.
The surge is having an
outsized effect on smaller states and is cutting funds for services to
veterans, children, and disabled Americans, according to the report provided
exclusively to Secrets from the Federation
for American Immigration Reform.
The report said illegal
immigration costs the 10 states $454 million. “To put that figure into context,
that $454 million expenditure is more than 200 times what the state of Montana
budgets for its entire Veterans Affairs program, and it is 2.5 times the total
sum that West Virginia invests in its state university,” said the report.
And, it added, illegal
immigrants cost between $4,000 and $6,500 annually above any tax benefit they
provide.
“In many ways, the
influx of immigrants into less populous areas of the country has an even
greater impact on long-time residents than it does in larger and more urban
areas,” said Dan Stein, president of FAIR. “These areas have neither the tax
base, nor the economic and social infrastructure to accommodate the needs of
the growing numbers of immigrants taking up residence.”
The 10 states analyzed
in the study, Small
Migrant Populations, Huge Impacts, were New Hampshire,
Mississippi, Alaska, Maine, North Dakota, West Virginia, South Dakota, Vermont,
Montana, and Wyoming.
“Many local officials
tout immigration, including illegal immigration, as a remedy to economic
stagnation. However, as this report reveals, the reality is precisely the
opposite,” said Stein.
He added, “Illegal
immigration, in particular, drives down wages and inhibits job opportunities
for legal residents, while bringing more low-skilled, low-wage workers to these
states. In turn, this increases costs to state and local governments, and
discourages investment by businesses seeking a skilled labor force and lower
overhead.”
The report comes on the
heels of a key U.S. Supreme Court decision to let the Trump administration
block entry to immigrants who are likely to burden taxpayers.
FAIR’s report also
showed that sanctuary cities are a growing attraction for illegal immigrants,
especially in smaller states where the costs of living can be lower.
The key findings from
the report to Secrets:
- In each
of these states, each illegal immigrant resident carried a net tax deficit
of between $4,000 and $6,500 annually.
- Some
415,000 foreign-born reside in these 10 states, of whom about 88,000 (or
21%) are illegal immigrants. Additionally, there are about 35,000 U.S.-born
children of illegal immigrants in these states.
- Collectively,
these illegal immigrants and their U.S.-born children cost taxpayers in
the 10 states about $454 million each year for the provision of essential
services such as education and healthcare.
- Local
schools struggle to provide educators and cover the costs of instruction
for 50,000 K-12 students classified as Limited English Proficient.
- A
growing number of sanctuary jurisdictions (29 and counting, including the
entire state of Vermont), and lower living costs are a magnet for illegal
immigrants.
- The
growing immigrant population competes with legal residents for jobs in
economically depressed areas.
“This report highlights
the fact that the adverse effects of unchecked mass immigration, combined with
an immigration selection process that does not choose people based on
individual merit, job skills and education, are now being felt in all parts of
the country. Americans, in every part of the nation, are being affected by
antiquated and unenforced immigration policies, which is why it is at the top
of the list of voter concerns heading into the 2020 elections,” said Stein.
Report: Taxpayers
Forking Over Up to $6,500 per Illegal Alien
By Rob
Shimshock | February 6, 2020 | 12:24pm EST
(CNSNews.com) -- Much of the
media attention garnered by the border crisis typically revolves around states
that border Mexico like Arizona and Texas. Yet a February report reveals the
devastating economic consequences of illegal aliens on taxpayers as far north
as Montana.
Illegal aliens cost taxpayers in the ten states with the fewest
immigrants around $454 million per year, which works out to a net tax deficit
of $4,000 to $6,500 per illegal, according to a report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).
“In many ways, the influx of immigrants into less populous areas
of the country has an even greater impact on long-time residents than it does
in larger and more urban areas,” FAIR President Dan Stein said in the report's
news release. “These areas have neither the tax base, nor the economic and
social infrastructure to accommodate the needs of the growing numbers of
immigrants taking up residence.”
FAIR examined migration to Alaska, Maine, Mississippi, Montana,
New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming
in its study and found that 88,000 out of the 415,000 foreign-born residents in
these states are illegal aliens, or 21 percent. Around 35,000 others are
citizen children of illegal aliens.
“Many local officials tout immigration, including illegal
immigration, as a remedy to economic stagnation. However, as this report
reveals, the reality is precisely the opposite,” Stein continued. “Illegal
immigration, in particular, drives down wages and inhibits job opportunities
for legal residents, while bringing more low-skilled, low-wage workers to these
states. In turn, this increases costs to state and local governments, and
discourages investment by businesses seeking a skilled labor force and lower
overhead.”
FAIR notes that 29 sanctuary jurisdictions exist in these 10
states, including the whole state of Vermont.
The report also examined the financial implications of
immigrants more generally, noting that more than 50,000 K-12 students in the
ten states examined are categorized as having limited English proficiency
(LEP). FAIR estimated that taxpayers spend $96 million on the education of
these students.
Nationwide, the immigration nonprofit calculated that taxpayers
spent $59.8 billion educating LEP students in 2016, up from $51.2 billion in
2010.
Matt O’Brien, director of research at FAIR, expanded on the
impact of immigration on Lewiston, Maine, a city the nonprofit honed in on in
its analysis, while speaking with CNSNews.com.
Lewiston, which has a population under 40,000, has taken in more
than 7,500 migrants during the past decade-and-a-half. Between 2004 and 2017,
the percentage of LEP students in the town went from five to 30 percent.
“You’re putting all of the kids that have to go through that
school system at a deficit that they have to recover from after they get out of
the public school system," O’Brien told CNSNews.com. “Now they have to
compete with the massive amount of immigrants...as they’re trying to get entry-level
jobs.”
The FAIR report highlighted employers’ preference for hiring
foreign-born workers, who demand lower wages, over American citizens.
“This report highlights the fact that the adverse effects of
unchecked mass immigration, combined with an immigration selection process that
does not choose people based on individual merit, job skills and education, are
now being felt in all parts of the country. Americans, in every part of the
nation, are being affected by antiquated and unenforced immigration policies,
which is why it is at the top of the list of voter concerns heading into the
2020 elections,” Stein concluded in the release.
