    Default New Immigration bill is TREASON

    Like Spanish people?? I sure hope so !
    Folks, I'm sure what you have heard about the new immigration bill.
    This is bad. This is really bad.

    This threatens Social Security. It is a slap in the face to every person who has gone through all the legal hoops to get their citizenship/permanent residency.

    Right is right and wrong is wrong. If you snuck in then you are a criminal.
    PERIOD ! Do we want criminals to stay? Do we want to reward criminal behavior?
    What makes you think illegals will follow the NEW laws when they didn't follow the old laws?

    If they don't comply what are we going to do? Deport them?
    WE CAN DEPORT PEOPLE NOW AND WE DON'T DO IT !!!!!!!!!

    OK, so you want to be a nice guy and give amnesty to illegals??
    America is a nation of immigrants you say? NOT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS !

    Stop being such a sissy and email your senator or rep and tell them to vote NO on a $2.5 TRILLION aid bill to Mexico.

    I'm a nice guy but lets look at reality here folks. Do the math !

    I've been paying into SS all my life. The law says 10 years gets you in for $19,000 a year.
    Lets say 15% of these 12 Mil(bogus number for sure) are 50 and will get SS in 15 years.
    So 15% of 12 mil is 1.8 mil X $19,000 per year = $34.2 BILLION per year
    The average person collects SS for 19 years THATS 649.8 BILLION !!!
    Think of how much of this goes back to the home country! Can we afford to have this much money sucked out of our economy?
    Thats just one little tiny bit of math
    Now add in if 25% have one child.
    I can't find a website who has done math right now but I am quite sure the cost of public education is ave $9600 per child per year.
    Get an immigrant with 4 kids thats $40, a year even without entitlements.
    Thats 3,000,000 X 9,600 = 28.8 BILLION a year

    Effects of immigration on native born unemployment rates.

    Furthermore, research shows that white males working in an area with recent Spanish speaking immigrants make on average $1 less per hour than in a less racially diverse community.

    Don't like math? Read this.

    Email your state rep and tell them no. Even if you think this bill is a good idea do it anyway. Be a good American and DO IT !

    Opps, gave link to the senate, not reps. Email anyway.
    do it X10

    btw, I know lots of people think that $5000 to apply is a good number.
    I went and thought about what it cost my wife to get legal and it was close to 20K. Very close.

    and to think she has the nerve to bitch about me buying razors !!!

    The 12 million number is based on the 2000 census. I wouldn't be suprised if the real number is more like 25 to 30 million. It is estimated that these people cost the tax payers 16,000 to 20,000 per year in services now. If they are allowed to become legal, that cost will rise.

    I live in California and have been watching this since the early '90s. I've seen hospitals closing and the education system go down hill. I spent seven years working in a Home Depot located in a Hispanic area. The immigrants, would get upset with employees that looked Hispanic and didn't speak Spanish. One was a Navaho and one was from India.

    Do these people have some special desirable qualities that the Senate is bending over backwards to give them everything? Most of them are uneducated and poor. Aside from a low cost labor force, they have little to offer the country. Them being here eases the burden on Mexico to provide jobs and services for them. While it costs the US taxpayer, it is a plus to Mexico. These Immigrants send Billions back too their families.

    "They pay their taxes." Don't make me laugh. The only tax they pay is sales tax. You need a SSN or a Tax Payer ID to pay state and federal taxes. If they have an SSN, I'll bet that it is probably a fake.

    Sorry to all for the venting but this is one of my hot buttons and I call the Senate Bill a SELL OUT.

    this was something that was known was going to happen. It has to happen for the frasier institute in initation it's new amero currency. Our economy has to totaly collapse so a new money can be used in canda, mexico, us, and some south american countries. It has been widely talked about before on the news that social security would have to fail to totally destroy the american economy so that this would be instituted. Also I have allready seen advertisements selling amero silver coins in a coin collector magazine. Yes this will destroy our economy as it was intended to do.

    An Alternate view...
    All this tough talk about immigration has me thinking what happened to the Irish Italians and other Europeans who came to US in the late nineteenth and early 20th century. Many of those who came had no papers.
    Ellis Island was only established in the early 20th century and not everyone who came went through Ellis Island.
    There was all the doom and gloom talk about these new immigrants not integrating into the American way of life. People said it was the end of America. And look what has happened to the country since.....

    Then in the 1960s the Chinese faced similar problems infact Immigration from China was banned.

    The reason we learn about history is because it helps us understand and learn from our past. Have we learned nothing?

    All the economic arguments made against immigration there just as many and even more that can be made for it.

    Before jumping to statements like "Treason" and "sellout" I would consider the pros and cons and then make a decision. Do what is best for this country not what a radio talk show host with a conservative or liberal agenda has ranted about to get some ratings.

    Lets learn from our history and consider the consequences on doing nothing.

    Certainly the illegal alien situation in the US today is complex.

    My impression of immigration pre-WWI was that it was comprised primarily of two cases... those that immigrated here for political/religious freedoms and those that were brought here somewhat/totally against their will (eg. slaves, Chinese railroad workers, etc.). The majority case was those seeking freedoms, and they truly immigrated... ie, they intended to make this their new country, complete with allegiances, learning the language, become citizens, etc. And mostly, they did.

    But for the past 50 or so years, another situation has developed... those that came here illegally with no intent of immigrating (ie, no intention of staying... no allegiance to the USA, no intention to learn the language, no intention of becoming a citizen, etc.). Rather, they came here mostly to take advantage of the ability to earn a fast buck. And now that there are significant numbers of these people, it's affecting our economy and our society.

    If you believe they're doing jobs that Americans won't do for that salary... you're wrong. There's much more to it when you look beneath the surface... mostly having to do with corruption, payoffs, drugs, sex slaves, etc... much that same as occurred in the 1800's.

    If you believe our current unemployment rate of 4.5% validates that there are no citizens available to do the work anyway... you're wrong. The unemployment rate, AFAIK, does not include people who have not found a job by the time their unemployment benefits run out (in AZ that's 6-mo)... the assumption is that if you can't find a job in 6-mo you "don't really want to work". I'm sure that's true for some, but consider those people over-55 whoe are unemployed... these are the workers that were laid off (or downsized, outsourced, or whatever) that have never been able to find gainful employment. There's lots of people in this situation... and they would gladly do many of the jobs that the illegals are doing for the pay the illegals are getting... instead they are on public assistance (or will be once the use up all of their retirement nest-egg while trying to find work). How many kids in economically depressed areas can't find jobs... so they go on welfare... it's become their culture.

    I believe the real truth is employers would rather hire the illegals... so they can get kickbacks, sexual favors, fire them without cause, use them as drug runners, etc. It's almost slavery...

    Now, what does all this cost the American taxpayer? Well, printing all those forms and signs and directions in Spanish isn't cheap. It's costing us a huge sum in the healthcare arena... most illegals simply go to the emergency room for all their healthcare needs and never have to pay. School systems, hospitals, police, etc. have to hire interpreters so the Doctors/nurses/teachers/cops can talk to them. Advertising circulars get bigger so they can be dual language. And the new trend, which is the ultimate absurdity, is many employers are now requiring Americans to learn Spanish (on their own nickel) so they can talk to the illegals.

    I have compassion for someone who truly wants to immigrate. But I have no compassion for someone who wants, effectively, to steal from me and my country.

    Last year I was stopped at a red light and my car was rear-ended by some illegals in a pickup truck... they had Mexican drivers licenses, no insurance, and were here illegally. The cops could have cared less... it's a jurisdictional thing... an "INA problem, not a city police issue" according to them. The damage exceeded the value of my car... and so that cost me... all in support of "allowing illegals to be here illegally".


    Amny, I am thinking about what's best for the USA... and I can only conclude that illegal immigration is costing us big time... both in a degradation of our society and our pocketbooks.

    just my $.02

    Can someone in the know please explain Mexico's problems and issues -- any historical perspective here would be nice. I believe Mexico to not be a country void of natural resources ---fairly wealthy I think --- . Does it have something to do with Spanish influence and a certain mind set? Does it have something to do with Catholicism? (meaning a different sense of work ethic --in comparison to the Protestant work ethic adopted by the U.S.). Was there a different economic system in Latin America from the getgo -- maybe a little more class oriented. Anyway, I suppose the ultimate solution is in Mexico's hands --- what's the excuse?
