Illegal immigrants are gonna bankrupt the USA?

Question

Do illegal immigrants have the "power" to bring this great nation to it's knees?

Answer 1

No they don't. But that's what a lot of people believe. I'm not sure that what you are saying is what Illegal Immigrants want to do. They just want a better life and to be left alone.

Answer 2

If you pay out more than you bring in, then yes - you end up bankrupt.

Illegal immigrants use money and programs they didn't pay into. So taking money for something that wasn't "budgeted" will cause a deficit, thus bankrupting. Anyone in business will tell you that. If you spend more than you have, you will have a debt. That is what our social programs have - a debt. Because we are paying for those that were never accounted into the equation (illegal immigrants). You can speak all you want to about them being hard working and all that, but facts are facts - if they use money that they don't contribute to, and they were never accounted for, then it creates problems having the money for them and the people it was created and accounted for.

Illegal immigrants don't pay income taxes, so they don't pay into programs that would help them. If they did pay income taxes, then I wouldn't have such a problem. They don't pay, but they take money, and that is wrong. We have people here that are homeless, and need the money, and they were factored in, and some even paid for some of the programs with their income taxes when they worked previously. Sorry to disappoint, but that is the way it is, and yes - they will bankrupt the USA. Just because the treasury prints the cash, doesn't mean they have an endless supply. If they have nothing to back the note to make it worth something, then it is nothing more than a piece of paper. If you don't get that, please see the current worth of the peso.

No, but I'm afraid Bin Laden does. He has sworn to bankrupt the USA as he did the USSR. Just when things quiet down a bit, he issues another tape or gets some blind followers to act up as in Toronto a few weeks ago & the UK last week. Just the extra airline security is costing a fortune plus it gives Bush another reason to pour your tax $s into his buddies firms. 5 years from now while the USA is still in Iraq, Your Nat'l debt will be out of sight. The oil companies and munition manufactures will still be cleaning up as they are now. God willing, not too many more young Americans will be sacrificed on the alter of greed. May God protect your country and your constitution, because the present admin seems to think they can do what they want.

Answer 4

Well it looks like it..
Over $17 Billion is sent to Mexico each year by Illegal Aliens. Money sent from the U.S. to Mexico is the main component of Mexico’s Gross National Product. That $17 Billion is not available for the U.S. economy or American workers.

60% of the county's uninsured patients are not U.S. citizens, with more than half living in the country illegally.

About 2 million Illegal Aliens in Los Angeles County are crowding emergency rooms.

Estimated $320 Million dollars wired to Arizona annually to pay for the illegal services.

$16.6 Billion transferred to Mexico in 2004

So I would say that it just of matter of time.

Answer 5

In case no one has noticed, illegal immigrants are the most enterprising people in the world. Check out all the asian, mexican and south american businesses in most cities; Los Angeles and Miami haven't crumbled; how many Cubans refugees comprise the government of Miami; why do Americans think there are no sophisticated latins and other nationalities in the world. What small minds! New York is good to go, all ethnics, too. Get a grip, people. Chicken Little won't be here for a while!

Answer 6

Why we keep blaming all to illegal immigrants after all this is one problem from 28479587, The war in Iraq together with everything else including bad management of SS, Wellfer, and high expenses from the government is taking the USA to a Bankruptcy not the illegals. I regard to the comment about union between Mexico and Canada will NEVEr happen if the USA wants to do it no Canada or Mexico will go for it no way

$7.4 billion expense hurting American kids, group says

An immigration reform group says in a new study it costs states more than $7.4 billion a year to educate illegal aliens, with budget-busted California spending more than any other.

Worse, warns the Federation for American Immigration Reform report, the extra expenditures are taking funds away from American children at a time when "public schools throughout the country are facing some of the most significant decreases in state education funding in decades
FAIR says almost two-thirds of states either have cut back or proposed reductions in their child care and early childhood programs.

"In some states, drastic cuts mean lay-offs for teachers, larger class sizes, fewer textbooks, and eliminating sports, language programs and after-school activities," the report noted.

The total cost, FAIR says, is "enough to buy a computer for every junior high student nationwide.

Adding to those costs, says Jim Boulet, Jr., head of English First, a group pushing English as the nation's official language, are translation costs to schools that must hire interpreters for Spanish-only immigrant students.
Plus, Boulet told WorldNetDaily, "Cuban Spanish, Puerto Rican Spanish, Chicano Spanish, and additional forms of Spanish all exist within the borders of the U.S., creating vast potential for cross-cultural confusion" and, of course, extra expense, despite "California being an official English state."

According to the FAIR report, California spends the most – $2.2 billion – to educate illegal immigrant children. Ranking second and third, respectively, are Texas and New York.

FAIR analysts said each state's per-pupil expenditure was reported by the U.S. Department of Education. The group said it based its figures on the Urban Institute's estimate of 1.1 million school-aged illegal immigrant children currently residing in the U.S.

The report also says there are efforts underway in several states and Congress to allow illegal aliens to pay deeply discounted, in-state tuition rates at public colleges and universities – rates not available to American citizens from out of state.

Answer 8

properly regrettably for people who got here right here illegally they are going to ought to serve penal complex time for the crime they committed, for people who've committed different crimes right here i'm in simple terms approximately confident they gained't be allowed citizenship, for others they are going to might desire to get an outstanding lawyer and cooperate with each and every thing they're asked, which incorporate paying fines and doing time, and might desire to be able to instruct they are going to learn the country in the event that they're given citizenship, it rather is not finding so good those days for unlawful immigrants to rather get citizenship, not in basic terms does INS have the superb suited to enforce immigration rules yet they have prolonged to the close by police in lots of aspects to enforce immigration rules. somewhat, residing house land protection is working in direction of deporting any and unquestionably everyone right here illegally. i'm not sure if any or all unlawful immigrants will in simple terms obtain citizenship, too many human beings placed blame on others, and illegals are at a downside by using fact they actually will not be able to stand up for themselves without risking each and every thing they have labored for right here, to 3 it rather is not properly worth it to stand up for themselves and their rights, as unhappy because it ought to seem to ought to make that form of determination.that's in simple terms how that's, and the welfare of unlawful immigrants isn't the precedence in this united states (precedence isn't of their want).

Answer 9

illegal immigrants are going to bankrupt the USA becuase we're paying to support them (through our taxes) and they're doing jobs that other people could who arent illegal and they arent paying taxes. when an illegal immigrant goes to an emergency room, they get treated right away through use of our tax dollars whether they're supposed to be here or not ( one of many examples of how they'reliving off tax dollars.)

Answer 10

Illegal immigrants are adding to the economy of the US. If not for immigration the downtown areas of South western towns like Los Angeles would be dead.
