Just some food for thought?

Question

Say for a minute, there were no illegals in the united states, we would still have all the issues that illegals get labed with such as unemployment, tax evasion, crime, diseases, identity theft, federal aid abuse. Without illegals to stamp these problems on, who would we stam them on then? Minorities?

Answer 1

We can solved some of it-no mater how small- it helps. And here we are talking Billions--Savings. That helps.

Answer 2

Youre Right

unemployment,
tax evasion,
crime,
diseases,
identity theft,
federal aid abuse
Do Exist

But These Issues Are COMPOUNDED
By 20 Million ILLEGAL Aliens

When These Criminals Are Deported,
The Statistics In Each Of These Areas Will Improve
And Then FURTHER Steps Will Be Taken Afterward
To Improve Them More

Because These Problems Exist
We Should Not Allow These People
To Continue To CONTRIBUTE To The Problem

Answer 3

Um, a whole year without illegal aliens would be just peachy, as far as I'm concerned, it would unload our prison system, our court system, and then those resources would be available to take care of the people YOU mentioned, and they'd be a better deterrent for the people in our country that've decided to become criminals in life.

While being an illegal alien may not rise to the level of being a frothy-mouthed, wild-eyed axe murderer, nonetheless it stands to reason that if your first act in the United States is to break the law, after that the rest will come easier. We're still a nation of laws, and law enforcement stays PLENTY busy hunting down our own home-grown felons and ne'er-do-wells, but since right now that system is SWAMPED with illegals, where does that leave us? Well, it leaves us with taxpayers wanting more law enforcement, that's where...

I say start pulling the plug on welfare, get the border fence built, actively enlist Mexico's assistance in getting their people back home, have Mexico buy their people free Greyhound tickets to get home, have it be an enlightened yet persistently successful effort, that ultimately results in the abatement of the illegal immigration situation today. Alternatively, city/state police go deputize 100k people per state, and go on an anti-illegal immigration drive.

Long-term, put the kaibosh on employers that knowingly hire people illlegally....

Answer 4

You have a point. We're always looking for someone to blame. We're not unique in that: its part of being human, and there are even studies that show the extent to which humans have an amazing tendency to consider themselves as part of an us v. them situation.

Today's illegal immigrant is the 60's southern black, the Mediterranean and Slavic immigrant of the early 20th century and the Irish immigrant of the early 1800's. These people have all been blamed for things they are almost certainly NOT responsible for (or at least not to the extent portrayed): disease, economic issues, their own poverty.

Still, there ARE illegal immigrants in this country, the key word being "illegal." We can change the law so that they are no longer illegal (or no longer have to enter the country illegally), something that is never discussed because it is simply not conceivable that it could ever be enacted -- or we can deal with the illegality as just that, illegality. We as a country need to find a clear, consistent way to deal with the issues of immigration without all the slanted and mis-leading rhetoric.

Answer 5

We would 'stamp' those crimes on the perpetuators, as we always have. No one says we don't have those problems. Those problems are multiplied many times over by the illegal immigrants entering our country. We would still have those problems, done by the legal citizens of the USA and we can deal with those legally and appropriately. The first thing to do with illegal immigrants, to rid the USA of that multiplicity of crimes, is to close our borders and deport them, not give them amnesty.

Answer 6

It is easy to pick on a particular race of people. We tend to come up with excuses for ourselves instead of trying to better our selves as Americans. Everyone keeps saying that they take away from us, but what actually are they taking? Is it our pride, our self respect as humans? There are so many Americans sitting in the unemployment line when there are jobs to be found. It is unfair to stamp a whole race on our problems that are preexisting.

Answer 7

Social services and access to our infrastructure are for those who are here legally and have fallen on hard times. With less people here illegally, making less than it takes to survive and making more babies than they can afford, there will be lest cost to run our infrastructure/social services...hence there would be less drain on taxpayers and people would dance together in the streets instead of blaming others for problems which are less severe than they used to be.

Answer 8

We'd put them squarely on the ones who perpetrated the crime. That's where they belong.
Nothing is blamed on the illegals ...but that which they are actually doing.
Nice try but no cupie doll for you, you supporter of illegals in our country. (I hope I didn't miss "stamp" you?!)

Answer 9

Poor, vulnerable people in general, but definitely minorities.

Answer 10

Nice try, it's one thing for taxpayers to take care of their own, it's another thing to take care of people from another country.
