Top officials don't mention how illegal immigration has hurt citizens. Government not protecting our borders since 80's is shameful. The massive immigration of illegals to Los Angeles has driven 'up' the cost of living, while keeping wages 'down' as the illegals and amnesty group compete with citizens for low pay jobs, but middle class jobs too. Illegals march for amnesty and demand higher wages. They make more than I do. Made $6.75 in 1983, 2 bd. apart. was $322 per mo. Now make $8 per hr. (same job with license), and can't afford a 1 bd. apartment which starts at $1000 per mo. You live with relatives or on streets. Many middle aged live in vehicles, families too. Good free medical care stopped in 90's. Now many closed free clinics and acute hospitals. Free clinics left take 6 mos. to get appoint, then there 9 hrs., standing for 3. System a shambles. Haven't seen dr. for 10 yrs., get heart meds mail order. ER's full of illegals. Citizens should march, and sue government!

OK here's the deal: Corporations make lots of money on illegal undocumented workers, corporations give giant contributions to BOTH party's ! This is why it is not often brought up in political debates, we can't support 40% of mexico (that's whats living illegally in the U.S), we just CAN'T ! it will exhaust our resources, a very big problem facing our nation, and nobody wants to discuss it ! We should bring it up at every chance we get !

and let us not forget the other illegal issues in other parts of the country: Washington has a different mix of immigrants from most other metropolitan areas. The largest group is from El Salvador, but they are nowhere near the majority. Koreans, Indians, Vietnamese, and Mexicans are the next largest groups. Washington is also attractive to Africans from many countries, there are well over 100,000 in the regions. And that is just washington.

The more than $10.1 billion in costs incurred by California taxpayers is composed of outlays in the following areas:
Education. Based on estimates of the illegal immigrant population in California and documented costs of K-12 schooling, Californians spend approximately $7.7 billion annually on education for illegal immigrant children and for their U.S.-born siblings. Nearly 15 percent of the K-12 public school students in California are children of illegal aliens.
Health care. Uncompensated medical outlays for health care provided to the state's illegal alien population amount to about $1.4 billion a year.
Incarceration. The cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in California's prisons and jails amounts to about $1.4 billion a year (not including related law enforcement and judicial expenditures or the monetary costs of the crimes that led to their incarceration).
State and local taxes paid by the unauthorized immigrant population go toward offsetting these costs, but they do not come near to matching the expenses. The total of such payments can generously be estimated at about $1.6 billion per year.
The fiscal costs of illegal immigration do not end with these three major cost areas. The total costs of illegal immigration to the state's taxpayers would be considerably higher if other cost areas such as special English instruction, school feeding programs, or welfare benefits for American workers displaced by illegal alien workers were added into the equation.
While the primary responsibility for combating illegal immigration rests with the federal government, there are many measures that state and local governments can take to combat the problem. Californians should not be expected to assume this already large and growing burden from illegal immigration simply because businesses or other special interests benefit from being able to employ lower cost workers. The state must adopt measures to systematically collect information on illegal alien use of taxpayer-funded services and on where they are employed. Policies could then be pursued to hold employers financially accountable.
The state could also enter into a cooperative agreement with the federal government for training local law enforcement personnel in immigration law so that illegal immigrants apprehended for criminal activities may be turned over to immigration authorities for removal from the country. Similarly, local officials who have adopted "sanctuary" measures that shield illegal aliens from being reported to the immigration authorities should be urged to repeal them.

definite, human beings can preserve the borders on inner maximum property and carry weapons additionally. Bush has sent the national preserve to guard the unlawful extraterrestrial beings from the yankee public. Now, it does no longer be any exciting.
