Immigration - September 2007

People love to bring up that the United States was stolen and that we all are immigrants with no right to keep out illegals. I don't understand. The U.S. was stolen, but we stole it and its ours. Our tax dollars keeps this country thriving. If we don't do anything about illegals, the U.S. is going to turn into a shi t hole . What do you think would be the best solution to prevent illegal immigration?

I know some are tired of the story, but there are a lot of unanswered questions and I would like to know how much her son will bill to the tax payer. I know that he is a USA citizen and is entitled to be treated the same of others, but I want to know how much.

Sometimes when the border patrol stops illegals from coming into the USA, their buddies throw rocks at the border patrol. The border patrol shows great restraint and do not use force against these people, who could potentially cause bodily harm to the officers.

in what the pro-illegals have to say about this one..in a national paper today a judge refused to deport an asylum seeker on account of the fact he cannot be stopped from returning to the UK-his crime: he raped and beat a woman (english) so severly she thought she was going to die!! he also seriously attacked a policeman coming to her aid. next time you tell us how "racist" we are-perhaps you might like to ask this young woman her views on the subject of illegal immigrants.

If indeed the agenda here is "illegal" immigration and 32 million LEGAL people speak Spanish, how does pressing one for English relate to "illegal immigration"? And how does something as mundane as pressing a button effect your life?

Which would you find more desirable in your community: a group that advocates to abide by U.S. law, or one that advocates to break U.S. law?
Well, leave it to an American newspaper to present a story as if a member of a group that advocates for America is a less desirable person in the community than a member of a group that promotes ideas against America. In a story on the La Raza Council's threat to move their annual convention out of Kansas City, Missouri, the Kansas City Star has labeled the patriot group The Minutemen a "militant group" yet nowhere is there harsh labels in their story for La Raza, the Hispanic illegal immigrant advocates. In fact, La Raza is treated like a completely respectable organization throughout the story with the Minutemen treated as if they should be something to be ashamed of.


In June, Kansas City mayor Mark Funkhouser appointed Minuteman Civil Defense member Frances Semler to the Kansas City park board and this has caused the illegal immigrant advocates to threaten to take their convention business elsewhere.

The nation’s largest Hispanic rights group is warning it may cancel its 2009 convention here because of a controversial Kansas City park board member.
As it turns out, this park board member is "controversial" because she wants Federal immigration laws enforced.

The story goes on to call the patriot organization, The Minutemen, a "militant group opposing illegal immigration" and warns that the city would lose up to $15 million in business (coupled with the NAACP pulling their convention, as well) should the La Raza folks pull their convention out of Kansas City. The story gives the La Raza group quite a bit of space to act wounded and regretful that they have to leave the city... unless they are successful in forcing a Missourian legally appointed to a city board to resign.

“It is very troubling that we would be in a position to reconsider but in fact we are,” Murguía said during a trip to Kansas City. “I don’t know there is a way short of her stepping down that we could salvage this. This is offensive on many levels. We want the mayor to understand it is something that sends a very wrong signal to the Hispanic community about what the city represents.”
There is, indeed, something troubling here. That a group based outside of Kansas City should imagine they have the right and power to tell a city who they can and cannot appoint to their city parks board. Now THAT is "troubling," don't you think?

It is also troubling that Mrs. Semler is presented throughout the story as the problem and La Raza is constantly presented as the good guys. What is also troubling is that the story presents the politicians in Kansas City as bending over backwards for this La Raza organization. Rick Hughs, head of the Kansas City Convention and Visitors Association, for instance is doing his best to accommodate this La Raza group.

... a meeting Thursday with Murguía went well and he is hopeful that La Raza’s concerns about Kansas City can be addressed. He said he has not heard from anyone with the NAACP about its concerns.

“We still have it (La Raza convention) very much in our pocket and we all want to work toward a good, amicable solution,” he said. “These are two critically important groups and we want to keep them on the ground with us.”

Sadly, not a one of the Kansas City politicians quoted seem outraged that this outside group is making threats to the city over the make-up of a city board and trying to force their outsider's opinions on the operation of the city.

Still, is this reasonable behavior from La Raza? Is it reasonable that one person on a city park board is enough of an "outrage" to their sensibilities to force them to pull their business from the city?

MEXICO CITY -- The 8-year-old son of deported immigrant activist Elvira Arellano was reunited with her Friday at Mexico City's airport.

Arellano said she wants her son, Saul, a U.S. citizen, to go to school in her home state of Michoacan so he can learn Spanish.

Saul, whose first trip to Mexico was in November to ask the Mexican Congress to lobby Washington to stop his mother's deportation, received a Mexican passport from his mother as proof of his newly obtained dual citizenship.

They plan to renew the boy's U.S. passport, something he could not do in the United States in the absence of his mother.

Arellano, 32, who was in the U.S. illegally for several years, took sanctuary at Chicago's Adalberto United Methodist Church in defiance of a deportation order. She lived there with her son for a year.

She left the church in August to attend rallies in Los Angeles and was arrested and deported within hours to Tijuana.

Saul, who traveled from Chicago with Adalberto United's pastor, the Rev. Walter Coleman, had little to say to reporters. His mother said the boy told her that "he wants to keep fighting so I can go back with him to the United States."

Arellano said she wanted her son by her side as she fights for the legalization of the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. and for the rights of illegal Central American immigrants in Mexico.

"In this battle he was the one who kept me on my feet," Arellano said. "If I want to keep fighting from here, I need him with me."

I’m sure it wasn’t her idea to bring her son to Mexico, otherwise he would have come with her when she left.

Article states that she wants him to learn spanish? Yeah right, I haven’t heard a word of English out of her mouth!

Also, if she gets made an ambassador, is there any way the US could block her from returning? She is a criminal after all.
The more news this unwed woman gets the more real Americans are going to resist. Doesn’t the criminal illegal understand she has done nothing but leave a bad impression? She is nobody! Keep talking Elvira! You damage your own cause. You deserve nothing from the United States of America!

I have just read a few posts that are complaining about "illegitimate children". This really concerns me. I hope that what people mean is children who don't know their father, not, truly children whose mom & dad aren't married, but, live together. It is 2007, and, I would think that most people are concerned with a child having 2 parents (if possible), but, not with a piece of paper that can be stamped "void" and divorced at a moment's notice....

My question is that: when you (if you do) write about "illegitimate children" do you mean absentee fathers as the issue, or, the lack of a piece of paper that says it is "official"?

14 Reasons to deport illegal aliens


Hope these 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read by the majority of Americans. Then they will have something to yell at their U.S. Congressmembers.


14 Reasons to Deport Illegal Aliens...

1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year. http://...com/zob77

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

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

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/TRANSCRIPTS/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 United States . 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: http://...com/t9sht

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

So using the LOWEST estimates, the annual cost OF ILLEGAL ALIENS is $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR! So if deporting them costs between $206 and $230 BILLION DOLLARS, Hell get rid of em', We'll be ahead after the 1st year!!!

The nationalist Swiss People's party (SVP), which shares power in the governing coalition, has proposed new legislation that would see entire families of immigrants deported if their children are convicted of crimes involving violence, drugs or benefit fraud.

Sounds like a good idea to me, should we try this in the UK? Official Swiss police figures shows foreigners are four times more likely to commit crime then swiss nationals. Check out the statistics at the bottom of the link. It wouldn't surprise me in the slighest in the figures are similar in the UK.

With regards to illegal immigration.

I have read many questions and answers from people who not only think that illegal immigration is not hurting the middle class but it is somehow helping it?

Every report or article that I have read states that the middle class is shrinking and hurting from outsourcing, increasing tax burden, NAFTA and illegal immigration.

The tax burden to the middle class increases while wages remain the same or lower in some cases.

What is your opinion on the topic?
