Question

We are enriched by legal immigration.
Not by uncontrolled, massive, illegal immigration, because it creates chaos and societal disorder.

Illegal immigration is not an issue about race, color, ethnicity, class, or nationality, since illegal aliens are of many races from many nations.

Those trying to make a race, color, ethnicity, class, or nationality issue of it do so because all of their arguments are weak and unsustainable excuses.

There are many valid issues.

Crime is a serious issue (see more about that below).
But, crime is only part of the many issues costing U.S. tax payers a net loss of $70 billion per year:

burden on education systems;

burden on healthcare systems;

burden on hospital systems; 84 hospitals closed/closing in California;

burden on welfare systems; over 32% of illegal aliens collect welfare

burden on Medicaid system;

burden on Social Security and Medicare systems;

burden on border patrol systems; ever increasing numbers are needed;

burden on insurance systems; illegal aliens can/will not pay for damages they cause;

burden on law enforcement systems; costing California billions per year;

burden on prison systems; 29% of state and federal prisoners (Sep-2004) are illegal aliens;

2.3 million displaced American workers; partly because half of all illegal aliens that don't pay taxes, and greedy employers that don't pay unemployment taxes, Social Security, Medicare taxes, etc.;

voter fraud; burden on voting systems;

BORDER SECURITY:

The U.S. can and should secure the borders and coasts, because national security and defense is the basic purpose of the military. Securing our borders, the right of any sovereign nation, is not isolationism or xenophobia. It is simply national security and defense. Also, it can be done quite easily at a cost of about $8 billion initially, and about $10 billion annually for over 153,000 border patrol (three shifts of 51,000). $10 billion per year is minuscule compared to the $70 billion in annual net losses due to illegal aliens burdening our education, healthcare, hospital, ER, welfare, Medicaid, Social Security, Medicare, border patrol, insurance, law enforcement, prison, and voting systems.
$10 billion per year is less than the $10.5 billion in annual losses for California alone, due to illegal aliens.

FOR ALL YOU OPEN BORDER LOVERS.

DEA agents bust coast-to-coast heroin ring that offered home delivery
By Associated Press
Tuesday, August 15, 2006 - Updated: 03:17 PM EST

WASHINGTON - Federal agents arrested more than 130 alleged drug traffickers from coast-to-coast Tuesday who U.S. officials said smuggled heroin from Mexico and offered phone-up home delivery like a takeout pizza shop.

Beginning before dawn, Drug Enforcement Administration agents conducted arrest raids and searches, seeking up to 150 people, about half of them illegal aliens, according to senior drug enforcement officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity before the official announcement.



By early afternoon, the investigation had produced 131 arrests in 15 cities, from Charleston, S.C., to Los Angeles, based on 10 federal indictments and state charges, the officials said.

Known as Operation Black Gold Rush, the investigation was being described at an afternoon news conference here by Assistant Attorney General Alice Fisher and deputy DEA administrator Michele Leonhart.

Officials gave this account of how the ring operated:

The ring grew its own poppies and refined them in Mexico and smuggled an unusually pure variety of black tar heroin across the U.S.-Mexican border, mostly in Arizona, with couriers on foot or in vehicles. Mexican black tar heroin, a dark and sticky substance, is usually only about 30-40 percent pure, well below the purity of Colombian heroin. But among the more than 37 pounds of heroin seized in this case, some was 85 percent pure, officials said.

Among other marketing strategies, the gang preyed on recovering heroin addicts. It sent street dealers out from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and operated outside methadone clinics where addicts receive treatment.

Packaging a quarter to half a gram of heroin in balloons for convenience, the dealers would offer addicts two free balloons if they bought two balloons.

More sophisticated techniques were available for trusted clients. Agents conducted surveillance that showed the gang distributed telephone numbers clients could call. At first a courier would be sent to deliver the heroin to the customer in a car in parking lot, but later after several sales, clients could call and order delivery of heroin to the front door of their home.

Couriers bringing money back to Mexico were told to buy a clunker vehicle and stash cash throughout its body, drive across the border, then gather the cash and dump the vehicle.

Agents seized more than $380,000 in cash that constituted illegal profits from the operation, $260,000 of it before Tuesday.

The federal investigation began last November after a single heroin seizure and, in cooperation with state and local police, Tuesday’s raids were designed to take down the ring’s entire U.S. distribution system from regional sales directors down to street-level dealers. No arrests were made in Mexico, the officials said, but the investigation is continuing.

The investigation was conducted in Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville, Tenn.; Indianapolis; Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio; Denver, Los Angeles and Riverside, Calif.; Charlotte, N.C.; Columbia, Greenville, Charleston and Florence, S. C. and Phoenix, Ariz.

I AGREE WITH YOUR ARTICLE 100 %.

Answer 2

That article is correct in terms sociological and historical knowledge. The n term is a word that dates back centuries and was affiliated with that of slaves and white supremacy. The term 'cracker' on the other hand, was created by a bunch of low-life's some decades ago. Although both terms are derogatory, the 'n term' holds a more historical emphasis. The 'c term' is usually said by those who are uneducated or are just mentally retarded. This is not even the case all the time with black people. The same occurs with Jews. The term 'Yid' is not allowed to be said by anyone else of any other religion. However, Jews can say this amongst themselves. Does this bother me? Not one bit. It takes a small-minded man/woman to be ticked off by not using a certain word in the midst of hundred thousand, if not millions of words in the English vocabulary. And for the rappers bastardizing the n term, that is usually mistaken for black culture. Black culture does not promote that sort of attitude. MTV and other so-called entertainment channels are notorious for promoting stereotypes which then spiral into the real world and once again add fuel to the ever burning fire in terms of racial relations. Good question

Answer 3

Simple answer is there is nothing wrong about Legal Immigration...but everything is wrong when it is Illegal. A country needs to have laws governing it's borders and the ability to enforce those laws. Without an effective strategy in place, those negative numbers will continue to surge and will affect the future of the people who chose to live in this country legally!!

Answer 4

Disagree you are right is not about race o origin but Illegal alliance a minority. If you go to visit a prison you'll see the majority in there are American citizen born and race in the USA there is a small group of Illegal alliance they need to be send back to wherever they come from, and the biggies criminals are real American citizen Oklahoma city, The killing of girls in California 2 or 3 years ago, Child molesters see how many are Americans citisens and I'm not talkin about race or wherever thay are American citisens No illegal aliance.

Answer 5

All so the US should have tougher laws on hiring illegals. And have deportation process which the illegal must pay or have their country to pay for stealing someones Social Security number.

Answer 6

Agree

Answer 7

Agree

Answer 8

Tell the President to figure it out, take a stand one way or another. Even if he favors businesses that want cheap labor it's a stand. He's really been flip flopping on this one. Most of the illegal immigrants have entered during his watch.

Answer 9

Once again, you have brought with you the voice of reason. Thank you and of course, I agree 100%.

Answer 10

Agree-many problems.
