Pelosi is a ghastly creature. She and her ilk –
Feinstein, Boxer, Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom – have effectively destroyed
California and they did it on purpose. They strive to import as many
illegal migrants as possible; they've created and fostered the homelessness and
let it fester. California is now a socialist disaster and the further
destruction of the economy is just what they've wanted. PATRICIA McCARTHY
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.” PAUL BEDARD
Change of Heart? Open Borders California
Seeks Assistance from Trump Admin Due to Growing Number of Mexican COVID-19
Cases
size=1 width="100%" align=center>
Officials in California are
looking for medical and border security assistance from the Trump
administration as the number of COVID-19 cases in northern Mexico surges, with
many nationals crossing into the U.S. hoping to receive medical attention.
As of May
2, Mexico had confirmed more than 22,000 COVID-19 cases in its country, which has
made two high-level California officials request help from the Trump
administration.
San Diego
County’s Third District Supervisor, Kristin Gaspar – a vociferous opponent of
California’s dangerous sanctuary laws – sent a letter to Vice President Mike Pence asking for
“assistance with a growing concern south of our border” as “hospitals in Chula
Vista, California [are]now seeing a sudden influx of critically ill patients
from Mexico.”
President
and CEO Chris D. Van Gorder of Scripps Health, a nonprofit healthcare system
based in San Diego, California, also sent a letter to Trump administration officials stating
that “the threat south of the border” is impacting medical supplies and
attention in the region. The letter was sent to Secretary of Health and Humans
Services (HHS) Alex Azar and Acting Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) Chad
Wolf.
The call for additional assistance in
response to COVID-19 positive Mexican nationals in California is ironic as
officials in the state have incentivized illegal immigration for decades.
The
state’s sanctuary policies, which shield illegal aliens from
deportation, and its desire to treat illegal aliens the same as U.S. citizens
and lawful immigrants, has made it a desirable location for illegal aliens. In
fact, California has the largest illegal alien population of any state, costing
California taxpayers more than $23 billion annually.
Its policies that reward and protect
illegal aliens are likely contributing to the increase in Mexican nationals
arriving amidst the coronavirus outbreak.
Just recently, state and city
officials in California approved granting tens of millions of dollars to
illegal aliens facing economic hardship resulting from the COVID-19
outbreak.
Gov.
Gavin Newsom approved sending $75 million from the state’s
budget to provide direct assistance to some 150,000 illegal aliens. An
additional $50 million will come from private philanthropic sponsors. This
means $125 million will be granted to illegal aliens in the state. Each
qualifying illegal alien will receive at least $500, with households eligible
to receive $1,000.
At a
local level, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti approved pre-paid debit cards to residents hurt
financially by the COVID-19 outbreak regardless of their immigration status.
The “Angeleno Cards” will range from $700 to $1,500 depending on the income and
size of the household.
With state and local officials now
asking for help to stem the flow of migrants from Mexico, California may
finally be on its way in understanding that uncontrolled, mass migration
(especially during a global pandemic), is simply not sustainable. Funding and
resources are finite (especially in times of crises) and must be prioritized
for citizens and law-abiding immigrants.

Illegal immigrants cost taxpayers $6.5K a
year each: Report

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.
