Because the pro-illegal alien lobby has a bottomless pit of money and can hire PR people to spin (and fabricate) anything any way, there are an undue number of myths and lies that the public (and many politicians) has bought into. The FACTS are:

1. It is NOT racist to call these people "illegal aliens" In fact, "illegal aliens" is the only term used in federal laws and regulations to describe criminals (and they ARE criminals) who come into our country illegally. They are not illegal immigrants, not undocumented immigrants, not migrant workers, and not day laborers - they're ILLEGAL ALIENS.

2. Mexico is NOT a poor country. By sending its teeming masses to our country, that status keeps on rising. Mexico has more resources per square mile than the U.S. and plenty of money to take care of its own people. Why should the taxpayers of this country subsidize Mexico's corruption?

3. Illegal aliens are NOT necessarily coming here to work. Lou Dobbs recently reported that 33 percent of our prison population is now comprised of non-citizens. Plus, 36 to 42 percent of illegal aliens are on welfare. So, for a good proportion of these people, the American dream is crime and welfare, not coming here to work.

4. Illegal aliens are NOT doing work Americans won't do. What jobs won't Americans do? In most states, Americans still clean their own houses, do their own landscaping, clean hotel rooms, work in restaurants and fast food places, paint houses, DO CONSTRUCTION WORK, work in airports, etc. - just like we have the past 200 years before "our" government allowed these people to invade our country. There are 18 million Americans who cannot find a job, so illegal aliens who are coming here to work do so at peril to American workers.

5. Illegal aliens absolutely do not contribute more than they cost. Certainly the millions in prison and on welfare aren't contributing a dime to our economy, and the ones who are working often are paid in cash with no deductions for taxes at all. The ones who use fraudulent social security numbers and qualify to pay taxes and social security have so many deductions for dependents that they pay little if any taxes. We have seen them pay less than $100 in taxes and get back $4,000 refunds (thanks to earned income tax credits and multiple dependents).Some bargain, eh?

6. The economy does NOT depend on illegal aliens. Sure, greedy CEOs (making $50 to $150 MILLION a year) and business owners depend on illegal aliens, but due to #3, #4 and #5 above, the only thing illegal aliens are contributing to is the collapse of our economy and making the rich richer.

7. Without illegal aliens, the price of agricultural products and other goods and services will NOT soar. The definitive study on this subject is the University of Iowa's "How Much Is That Tomato?" The study concludes that 'since labor is such a small component of the end-price of agricultural products (which includes price to the growers, transportation costs, processing /storage costs, grocers' profit, etc.), using minimum wage workers instead of illegal aliens would increase prices of agricultural products by approximately 3 percent in the summer and 4 percent in the winter ... hardly the making of $10 heads of lettuce, $25 hamburgers, $1,000 per night Days Inn hotel rooms like the pro-illegal alien lobby claims.

8. Consumers are NOT benefiting from lower labor costs. Again, it's CEOs and business owners who benefit from taxpayer subsidies for their illegal alien workers. The Big Three automakers say they moved so many jobs to Mexico because their labor costs are 80 percent less than in America. Anybody notice the price of new cars spiraling downward under NAFTA?

You are 100% right. Edge has only been champ since December. He has yet to have a long reign as World champ or WWE champ. He deserves to hold on to the belt for at least a few more months. I actually wouldn't mind seeing Edge win at WM because he actually could possibly be considered one of the greatest of all time down the road and that could cement his legacy and be like WM 14 was to Stone Cold. He's a very good wrestler and plays his gimmick very well. I'll admit that I'm not to high on the Vickie storyline, but Edge is still a great all around performer and should be respected for actually living up to his nickname as the Ultimate Opportunist. I actually believe that Edge will retain the title at WM. Here's how I think it will go down. The referee will get knocked out. The Edgeheads will interfere, but Undertaker will fend them off and hit Edge with a tombstone. A second referee will come to the ring to make the 3 count and declare Taker the winner and new champion. On Smackdown, Vickie and Edge will have the first referee in the ring, and he will declare that Edge was disqualified for the outside interference and hand him the WHC. EDIT: To toga_man1, who has Undertaker beat at WM that's better than Edge? Jimmy Snuka way passed his prime? Jake The Snake? Giant Gonzalez? King Kong Bundy? Diesel? Sid? Kane? Big Boss Man? Ric Flair way passed his prime? Big Show & A-Train? Randy Orton early in his career? Mark Henry? Batista? The only person that Undertaker has beat at WM that was in his prime and arguably better than Edge is Triple H. The rest were not even in Edge's league at the time they lost to Taker.

The only people that wouldn't agree with you of course would be the illegals. Wait a minute, I forgot big business would not agree because its making them a whole lot richer. Then you have to wonder how many of our politicians get a big kick back from big business to turn the other way and line their pockets. If we could send thousands of the illegals right to the center of where each politician lives...bet we'd see some good results fast.

I agree with all of the statements. In particular number 8. It is corporate greed and our government that allows this to continue. Illegal aliens and the alleged cheap labor is not helping our economy one bit. It is falling back on the American people and no one in our government seems to care;and have not for some time now. Good question.

I agree with all of the statements. Thank you especially for #3. Current numbers are set at 13 murders per day by illegal immigrants in the United States. That's 13 people every day that should still be alive!

I absolutely and totally agree. When all Americans, get off their collective lazy buts. And force Washington to enforce our laws and constitution we will see a HUGE difference

1 - agreed
2 - depends on who you compare with - they are definitely poorer than most 'first world countries' but richer than others
3 - maybe, maybe not
4 - definitely don't agree. most americans will not do the work that the illegal aliens would do
5,6,7,8 - got bored and moved onto something other than hate-mongering, though I do think that people should immigrate legally or stay in their own country.

I agree with it all. We need to make it a crime to hire them with a stiff penalty of $1,000,000 and 10 years in jail.
