Illegal Immigration

My friend is forwarding me right wing propaganda. In this latest piece I have no response for him because I don't know if the figures are valid. I suspect these are fabrications. Anyway, here they are.

Boy am I confused. Listening to the Partisan 'politicals', I have been

hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on

terror that is bankrupting us. I now find that to be RIDICULOUS.



Now ..... I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over

again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of

reading them. I have included the URL's for verification of all the following facts.



1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens

each year. http://tinyurl.com/zob77%20



2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs

such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens.

3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.

http://www.cis..org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html



4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school

education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of

English!

5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the

American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html



6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html



7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html



8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare &

social services by the American taxpayers.

http://premium.cnn.com/TRANSCIPTS/0610/29/ldt.01.html



9. $200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed American wages are

caused by the illegal aliens.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html



10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's

two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular,

their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in

the US .

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt.01.html



11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens

that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal

aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine,

meth, heroine and marijuana, crossed into the U.S. from the Southern

border.

Homeland Security Report:

12. The National Policy Institute, 'estimated that the total cost of

mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average

cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.'

http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/pdf/deportation.pdf



13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back

to their countries of origin.

http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm



14. 'The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex

Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States '.

http://www.drdsk.com/articleshtml







The total cost is a whopping: $ 338.3 BILLION dollars a

year.



Are we THAT stupid???



If this doesn't bother you then just delete the message. If, on the other

hand, it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you

forward it to every legal resident in the country including every

representative in Washington , D.C. - for as long as it takes to restore

some semblance of intelligence in our policies and enforcement thereof
