Here Comes Amnesty
Now that so-called health care “reform” has been rammed into law, the President must make good on promises to every bought off congressman who voted for this very unpopular bill. In addition he must also start the process of reinventing himself as the “centrist” he pretended to be during the campaign. Healthcare reform is just the tip of the giant side splitting iceberg. The fringe element of the Democrat party is in control and the more moderate, centrist Democrats have neither the backbone nor the integrity to oppose them.
There are an estimated 15 to 20 million illegals in the U.S., millions of whom are young men who have come here and left their families behind. It would be a simple process of extricating them back to Mexico as they have no families or ties here in the U.S. It is obvious to anyone who cares to look how devastating the crushing onslaught has been to the American worker. The trades in particular have been over run with illegals competing against citizens. Millions of construction, painting, roofing, and landscaping jobs being taken at lower wages. Forcing Americans to compete against illegals who have no roots, and no ties to the communities where they live. Government highway jobs, service and agricultural positions stolen for the cheap labor illegals provide. It is bad for America and more importantly it is a nightmare for the American worker.
In 1986, President Ronald Reagan signed an immigration reform bill, legalizing an estimated 1.7 million illegals. The bill sought to guarantee a steady supply of agricultural workers to harvest crops susceptible to freeze, drought or other damaging conditions. But beyond the cheap labor provided to the multi conglomerate, billion dollar agri businesses, businesses subsidized by the federal government and who rake in billions in profits, the bill made guarantees of border enforcement and the curbing of illegals entering the country. But while these parasitic corporate welfare agri businesses continue to pay slave wages to illegals the border is as porous as ever.
In 1986 there were an estimated 5 million illegals in the U.S. Today we know that number has quadrupled and when the second amnesty is enacted that number could go as high as 50 million. We know the newly minted “citizens” will be allowed to bring spouses, children and siblings to the U.S. as a means to “protect the sanctity” of the family. We also know the federal government will yet again promise to secure the border but we have heard that before. The border will remain unchecked, and the process will start again.
A few highlights of the impact of illegals in the U.S. as reported by the Center For Immigration Studies….
note* these studies were done in 05
Households headed by illegal aliens imposed more than $26.3 billion in costs on the federal government in 2002 and paid only $16 billion in taxes, creating a net fiscal deficit of almost $10.4 billion, or $2,700 per illegal household.
With nearly two-thirds of illegal aliens lacking a high school degree, the primary reason they create a fiscal deficit is their low education levels and resulting low incomes and tax payments, not their legal status or heavy use of most social services.
If illegal aliens were given amnesty and began to pay taxes and use services like households headed by legal immigrants with the same education levels, the estimated annual net fiscal deficit would increase from $2,700 per household to nearly $7,700, for a total net cost of $29 billion.
Although legalization would increase average tax payments by 77 percent, average costs would rise by 118 percent.
The numbers don’t lie. Amnesty will severely burden all of us. Our way of life and standard of living will decline. Jobs will become ever more scarce. The few will continue to be taxed at higher and higher levels to pay for the services given unchecked to the many. America as we know it will ultimately cease to exist….
These are the facts, they can not be denied.
