I’m sorry, did I miss something?
From research completed in 2004, it has been shown that there is a little bit of a difference between the US economic contributions of the Criminal Aliens and the drain they place on legal, social and economic programs. Just a few dollars. About 80 billion annually actually. So, um….how much does a bus cost these days anyway?
First off, political pundits who claim that the illegals contribute much more than they cost Americans by their criminal presence are lying through their teeth. They have read the reports, they have access to the same economist and still spout that drivell. They understand that the average American will not check for themselves. The rule is, say something loud enough and often enough and people will believe it. That goes for the old line “They only take jobs others don’t want”. In the agricultural sector, illegal immigrant and migrant workers only constitute about 20 to 30 percent of the labor force. So, 70 to 80 percent of agricultural workers seem to want those jobs. If those jobs open up, there will be workers to fill the positions. Also, tell those out of work painters, carpenters and landscapers that they really didn’t want those jobs anyway. Our legislators are sworn to defend the citizens and the Constitution of the United States, not their political party or their careers. If they truly wanted to do what’s right for America they would have enforced the laws already in place.
I was under the impression that we currently have laws on the books concerning illegal immigration. From deportation once found to felony charges for those who hire them. The first question of many has to be, “Why haven’t we been enforcing the laws we already have?” The second, by logic would be, “Why should we believe the government will enforce them now?
We have sanctuary cities who thumb their noses at federal law. They refuse to turn in these criminal invaders, enforce zoning laws, enforce traffic laws (illegals only, if you’re a citizen you are going to pay), illegals caught driving under the influence are released the next day and many more attrocities and where are the feds? As one who strongly defends state’s rights and believes the federal government has extended past it’s Constitutional limits, the federal government does have the authority in this matter. These cities (and states if they condone it) should lose any and all federal funds. Highway funds, education, etc. Any civil servant, elected or not, participating in this illegal activity should be arrested and permanently barred from public service.
The new legislation under review states, according to the politicians, that the first thing to be done is the securing of our borders. Again, according to the politicians “this must happen before anything else takes place”. Well, gee….didn’t these guys approve a substantial amount of fencing to be installed last year? Um, where is it? A few miles actually went up right away, then……
If they truly wanted what’s best for America the first order of business would be the securing of the border. There should be legislation solely on that matter. It is a subject unto itself. If not to curb the criminal invasion (see below) then to defend against terrorist entering our country. If they want to put these criminals on the fast track to citizenship, then let them build the walls and install the fencing. One year, unpaid labor with no benefits, then one year on minimum wage with no other benefits moves you to the front of the line, (they still have to conform to certain standards for entry). I believe that’s fair. Heck, if they do that, let them bring their spouse and children with them.
Again back to the myth that “Criminal Aliens” contribute to our economy. Consider this, in 2003, former President of Mexico, Vicente Fox stated that remittances of Mexican nationals in the United States, both legal and illegal, totaled $12 billion, and were the largest source of foreign income for Mexico. In 2005, the remittances from Mexican nationals worldwide was $18.1 billion. So, how is the fact that $12 billion gets spent in the Mexican economy considered a contribution to the US economy.
Illegal immigration is the number one reason our healthcare system is on life support. Hospitals and emergency rooms across the United States are closing, but they are shutting down in the areas with the highest rate of illegal immigration..if we removed illegal immigrants from the equation, the number of “uninsured Americans” the media keeps touting would plummet, because 76 percent of naturalized citizens and 81 percent of native-born Americans have employment-based health insurance.
The proposed plan allows illegals to retain public lawyers to facillitate their citizenship process at the expense of the American tax payer. Not only is this another cost we will have to endure due to the ineptitude of our government, but it will put a drag on civil litigations. Oh, wait…we can borrow money from social security and hire more lawyers. (That was sarcasm in case you didn’t recognize it).
The (Socialist) Democrat Party’s sole interest in this matter is constentuancy. They believe (rightly so) that through giving these criminals citizenship and allowing them to vote will increase their voter base. A voter base primarily consisting of social elitists and low income minorities. More beings that they can care for from the cradle to the grave. Those very same less fortunate democrat voters should be the ones to complain the loudest. The Democrats’ claims of caring and wanting to help the “less fortunate” are proven false by their actions in this matter. Paul Samuelson, a Nobel-prize-winning economist from MIT, asserts that there is no unitary, singular effect, good or bad, that arises from illegal immigration, but instead a variety of effects on Americans depending on their economic class. Samuelson states that wealthier Americans tend to benefit from the illegal influx, while poorer Americans tend to suffer.
As for the Republican party, I do not see the logic in allowing anything remotely close to amnisty to be passed. I’m not sure what their thought is here. I do not see a benefit in this for Republicans. If we allow these criminals, who count in the tens of millions, to remain, the Republican Party will not win another election for a very long time. The Socialist Democrat Party has to be drooling at the prospect.
You may have noted that I have used the word “criminal” throughout this piece in reference to this group. What word would you use to describe them without just trying to be politically correct They are criminals, period. They have shown an obvious disdain for our country and our laws. They state it in their rhetoric and show it in their actions. They protest in the open, knowing the authorities will take no action. They make demands that only citizens have the right to make.
They cross the border knowing that they are breaking the law. Border guards are assaulted and killed protecting their country and families from invasion (I’ll get to that shortly). Once they have crossed they find a place to live. (The Mexican government actually hands out a comic book outlining how and where to cross, where to find housing, work, how to take advantage of our social programs, etc.) The places they live are illegal. Usually zoned for single family dwelling, these domiciles will contain several families and other individuals. They will inhabit an area, turning it into a “little Mexico”, (every town has one) destroying property values. They pay the rent with funds earned illegally. Once they have earned a little money, they purchase a vehicle (no license neccessary?) and drive without a driver’s license or insurance. If the police stop them for any violation, they just let them go. “There’s nothing we can do with them. The Feds won’t come get them and the ACLU gives us hell if we hold them.” They work illegally, which entices employers to break the law with the lure of cheap labor. Every action, no matter how benign, taken after crossing the border makes them a criminal.
Researchers debate on the actual figures, but somewhere between 48% and 64% of criminal aliens do not work. So, how do they survive here? Some live off of their families, some commit other crimes, many belong to gangs and many of these recieve wellfare (legally and illegally). Everyday in this country 25 citizens are killed by criminal aliens. About half of those are from violent crimes and the other half from drunk drivers. So, ask me again why I use the word “Criminal”.
Ok, I’ve used the term “invasion” several times as well. In my opinion, that’s exactly what this is. A Mexican invasion of the United States. When I speak with one of these criminals or when one of their “leaders” speaks on TV, they bluntly state that they don’t care about American citizenship in the same sense that other immigrant groups do. They have no interest in becoming Americans. They only want to work here, have the same rights citizens have, collect their money and send it home. They believe we are a “stupid people” because we have let them practically colonize certain areas. I have heard many say that “our politicians are so busy pandering for potential votes that they are giving away our country”. We are in the middle of an invasion and our leaders are traitors if they make any concession to these criminals.
Make no mistake about it, it is an invasion. It was set in motion by Mexican President Luis Echeverría Álvarez. During a speech he gave at National Autonomous University of Mexico in 1974 he said, “We are a proud people, the Mexican. We work hard, but our efforts prove non-effective. The gringos from the north have stolen everything from us. They have taken our lands, our resources, our music, our foods, our culture and our women. They have infiltrated our government, our schools and our religion. They have tried to steal our pride, but a true Mexican will never give this up. It is time my people. It is time to take it back. It is time to take it all back. We must convince our poor to seek the gringo’s riches. We must assist them seeking to cross through their sleepy borders. We must help them find shelter and employment. We must convince them it is best to send their monies back to their homes for their families to invest in our economy. We will infest, as does the insect their towns and their cities. We will disrupt their economy, their government and their schools. We will take back our lands through this “counter attack” without firing a shot. These people, believing they are good samaritans will hand them back to us. Once we hold the majority in these areas we control the votes. We will infest their home as does the cockroach and the weak stomached gringos will leave it to us. My proud people, my brothers, my sisters, it is time to take our pride back. It is time.” This man, man of vision (as much of a bastard he actually was) set all this in motion. He made deals with Drug Smugglers to smuggle human contriband along with their poison. He also commisioned them to map crossing points and border patrols. He helped design a support system to aid their “settlement” and colonization.
His vision took 30 years to reach the verge of realization, but it’s here. If we don’t force our legislators to act accordingly and immediately it will be realized.
Regardless of the possibility of Echeverria’s vision coming to fruition, our legislators have to take action that promotes the “general welfare” and provides for the “common defense” of our nation. Anything contrary to this is treason. If our “servants” do not comply then they must removed from their seat of power.

The CHRC’ s lawyer- one of several who have appeared on the Warman v. Lemire file- who rejoices in the name Blight and is in private practice has filed a letter response to the various letters and applications we have all been sending to the CHRC with respect to the“ in camera” nature of the March 25 hearing in which Dean Stacey and another will be cross examined.
