first of all these illegals are criminals. and should be jailed and then loaded up and took back where they came from. second of all they live like animals. 20 or more people in a 2 bedroom house. they trash up everywhere they go.and 3rd, they all are freeloading bums, who think we the taxpayers owe them a living. 4th they are rude, loud and really get on your nerves. they let their kids act like idoits in public.5th, they cant drive, and they dont have car insurance, so you are screwed, when one of the donkey jockeys hit you. well that is just to name a few reasons, the citizens of this country are good and fed up.

Answer 2

How does large-scale immigration impact population growth, water and energy supplies, urban sprawl, and other environmental issues?

The Population-Environment Connection
America's environmental priorities cannot be reconciled with the new infrastructure and resource consumption that continued population growth, driven by mass immigration, will require.

Immigration & U.S. Water Supply
U.S. water supply is straining under the constantly increasing demands generated by immigration-driven population growth.

Immigration and Urban Sprawl
The rate at which farmland, forests, and other open space is being developed doubled in the 1990s, from 1.4 million acres a year to 3.2 million acres a year.

Traffic Congestion
As immigration adds more than one million new residents to the United States each year, more traffic crowds our already congested roadways.

How Immigration Hastens Destruction of the Environment
We won't be able to meet today's environmental priorities if our population continues to grow at the staggering rates created by mass immigration.

Immigration and Population Growth
Census data shows that immigration accounts for more than half of the United States' annual population increase--at a time when communities are struggling to provide services to existing residents.

More is Not Necessarily Better
As an area becomes more populated, its infrastructure starts straining under the weight of all the new people who must be served. Police forces, roads, and schools no longer satisfy the demands of a growing population, and farmland and forests are sacrificed to strip malls and housing developments.

Why Environmentalists Support Immigration Reform
The key to controlling environmental damage is to stabilize our population a size sustainable by our environment and natural resources--but high immigration is working at odds with efforts to keep overpopulation under control.

How do Environmental Groups Rank Regarding Immigration?
Environmentalists agree that population growth is a serious issue. But how do they respond when Census Bureau data shows that two-thirds of U.S. population growth is due to immigration?

Answer 3

The biggest problem of illegal immigration might be the safety issue. It is hard to identify them therefore they can do whatever they want, plus they immigrate illegally which prove that they are desperate. People who are desperate do anything to get what they want. Secondly, it might be the job issue, it influence the economy. If illegal immigrants are hired to work for the job that normally hire local people, local society will lost job opportunity. Thirdly maybe is the environment issue you are talking about, because they are not belong to the country, they do not feel they are responsible for the environment. Plus, they are too busy working and survive to care about the environment anyway.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Disease from non-vaccinated immigrants or the fact that most of them can't read the trash can signs and litter!
In my town it is very expected that the illegal immigrants who try to pass an emissions test can't, because they aren't aware of what failing it means. They don't understand that there cars are putting out nasty fumes in the air, oh, and the fact that they don't have a liscense to drive either.

Answer 6

For your own good, I hope you don't take Yahoo blogs that seriously and spend time on google, rather than counting on copying and pasting what you get here...

I am not one to believe this is such great homework help

Answer 7

From the L.A Times:


1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County
has 10 million people) are working for cash and not
paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly
illegal immigrants, working without a green card.



2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are
for illegal aliens.



3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los
Angeles are illegal aliens.


4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County
are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose
births were paid for by taxpayers.



5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California
detention centers are Mexican nationals here
illegally.


6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles
County are living in garages.



7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los
Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of
the border.

8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties
are illegal.


9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish
speaking.


10. In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak
English. 3.9 million speak Spanish (10.2 million
people in L.A.County).



(All the above from the Los Angeles Times)




Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our
crops, but 29% are on welfare.


Over 70% of the United States' annual population
growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New
York) results from immigration.


The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer
in 1997 was, (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay),
a NET $70 BILLION a year, [Professor Donald Huddle,
Rice University]. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes
paid minus services used) for the average adult
Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE number.


29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal
aliens.


If they can come to this country to raise Hell and
demonstration by the thousands, Why can't they take
charge over the corruption in their own country?



We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue.


THE U.S. VS MEXICO: On February 15, 1998, the
U.S. and Mexican soccer teams met at the Los Angeles
Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican
even though most lived in this country. They booed
during the National Anthem and U.S. flags were held
upside down. As the match progressed, supporters of
the U.S. team were insulted, pelted with projectiles,
punched and spat upon. Beer and trash were thrown at
the U.S. players before and after the match. The
coach of the U.S. team, Steve Sampson said, "This was
the most painful experience I have ever had in this
profession."


Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other
non-European countries can come to this country and
get preferences in jobs, education, and government
contracts? It's called affirmative action or racial
privilege. The Emperor of Japan or the President of
Mexico could migrate here and immediately be eligible
for special rights unavailable for Americans of
European descent.


Recently, a vote was taken in the U.S. Congress to
end this practice. It was defeated. Every single
Democratic senator except Ernest Hollings voted to
maintain special privileges for Hispanic, Asian and
African immigrants. They were joined by thirteen
Republicans. Bill Clinton and Al Gore have repeatedly
stated that they believe that massive immigration from
countries like Mexico is good. They have also backed
special privileges for these immigrants.

Corporate America has signed on to the idea that
minorities and third world immigrants should get
special, privileged status. Some examples are Exxon,
Texaco, Merrill Lynch, Boeing, Paine Weber, Starbucks
and many more.

DID YOU KNOW?: That Mexico regularly intercedes
on the side of the defense in criminal cases involving
Mexican nationals? Did you know that Mexico has NEVER
extradited a Mexican national accused of murder in the
U.S. in spite of agreements to do so? According to
the L.A. Times, Orange County, California is home to
275 gangs with 17,000 members; 98% of which are
Mexican and Asian. How's your county doing?



According to a New York Times article dated May
19, 1994, 20 years after the great influx of legal
immigrants from Southeast Asia, 30% are still on
welfare compared to 8% of households nationwide. A
Wall Street Journal editorial dated December 5, 1994
quotes law enforcement officials as stating that Asian
mobsters are the "greatest criminal challenge the
country faces." Not bad for a group that is still
under 5% of the population.



Is education important to you? Here are the words
of a teacher who spent over 20 years in the Los
Angeles School system. "Imagine teachers in classes
containing 30-40 students of widely varying attention
spans and motivation, many of whom aren't fluent in
English. Educators seek learning materials likely to
reach the majority of students and that means fewer
words and math problems and more pictures and
multicultural references."


WHEN I WAS YOUNG: I remember hearing about the
immigrants that came through Ellis Island. They
wanted to learn English. They wanted to breathe free.
They wanted to become Americans. Now, far too many
immigrants come here with demands. They demand to be
taught in their own language. They demand special
privileges--affirmative action. They demand ethnic
studies that glorify their culture.
