Would you like to hear 5 myths about illegal immigrants?

Question

Yahoo deleted this so I am reposting it.
1) No human being is illegal. Well, a human being is not illegal, but breaking a law is illegal. So if an illegal immigrant comes to the US illegally, he is considered illegal. 2) The economy would collapse if the illegals were deported. Hmmm, seems we got along just fine in the 1920's, 1930's, 1940's, before there were 20 million plus illegals here. 3) They do jobs Americans won't do. Trust me, the jobs would get done with or without them. The employers may have to pay the workers a bit more, that's all. 4) They just come here for a better life. Well, that's true in many cases, but many come here to commit crimes. And even if they do come here for a better life, they are bankrupting our services and programs that are meant for real citizens. 5) This country is made of immigrants. Yes, legal ones. We have immigration quotas that are SUPPOSED to be respected. The experts have set the quotas based on how many immigrants the country can handle.

I never got to read any of the answers to this the first time I posted it. When I got home I checked and Yahoo had deleted it. :(

Answer 1

I agree with you on all points. I don't have any respect for people who do things the wrong way and are out to take over our nation. These people should be deported ASAP. I believe that our separate states will do the job that our federal government seems incapable of or unwilling to do.

Answer 2

If you go to the emergency room and don't have insurance, they will bill you, but that bill does not mean they will get paid. They can send the bill to a collection agency, but if the person gave a false name and address, how will the collection agency find them. Even if they do manage to find the delinquint patient, how will they force them to pay. You can't garnishe wages when the person is typically paid in cash. And if that person is found, they might be put in jail, but that still won't get the bill paid. That only costs US taxpayers more money for the jail time and deportation costs. Do you really think the hospital is going to advertise how easy it is to get free services? They are not going to tell you, just anyone off the street, about how much money they are losing because people don't pay. They are not going to tell you because they don't want you to get the idea that you do not have to pay. Illegal immigrants sometimes do get false SSNs and fake ID's. Yes, agencies can be fooled. I know someone who was living in a halfway house where all meals were provided and he was still getting food stamps. (In case you didn't know, that is fraud) Yes, I turned him in, but they never would have caught him. Illegal imigrants kids sometimes go to public schools. Parents are not required to show citizenship papers to register a child in school, or they give fake documents. That is also costing US taxpayers money to educate the child. I wonder what hospital you asked? Was this hospital anywhere near the border? Hospitals in the northern states are not going to have nearly as much of a problem with illegal immigrants as those closer to the southern border.

Answer 3

Number 3 is a little offbase and number 5 is completely wrong.

Employers, especially in the Agricultural sector, are now doing anything they can to replace people with machines. When that happens you don't need anyone to pick strawberries - legal or illegal.

We are not nor have we ever been a nation of immigrants. We are a nation of citizens. Out of all the people whoever lived in the United States, only 14% of immigrant labor built this country compared to 84% citizen workers.


Keep digging the truth is out there.

Answer 4

Right on now if only the Democraps and the Repukes in congress would listen to the vast majority of Americans demanding a end to illegal immigration.

Only Ron Paul has promised to end illegal immigration this presidential election.

Answer 5

to mochrie who said quotas have never changed...

the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 abolished the previous system of caps on immigration per nation of origin.

previous to that for several years there were about 176k immigrants...
The act allowed 290k immigrants but it only capped it per hemisphere.... other provisions from this Act led to 'chain immigration' where one would sponsor another.

The major supporter of this bill was.... you guessed it .. Ted Kennedy.

here is a quote of quite some irony by Teddy during a debate over the act...
"...our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually.... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset...."

Since the Act and subsequent ones its been much more difficult for eastern european immigrants to immigrate. They almost cant.
The education and skill level of immigrants has dropped significantly since then also.

Answer 6

if they delete this again then re-post it and ask a question at the end.... YA is weird. they let people say and do what ever they want but put a well put string of thoughts ...or facts in your case and they go ape sh!t.
and oh yeah ...well put
and these illegals may come here for a better life but in doing so they are worsening ours.

now for that wall ... i have been in construction a long time and i hereby volunteer my services and expertise in getting that damn wall up.

Answer 7

Hairy cookie. Mexico passed laws that outlawed slavery. They never enforced them, atleast not in California. That was part of the reason They lost California. THe Indians that were enslaved rebelled and destroyed a large part of Mexico's ability to hold California. They then helped America take control of California, in hopes of entering a freer society.

You should add 6) America's Southwest does not belong to Mexico.

Answer 8

You really do make good points. Americans must insist on deportation and ignore all the lies of not being able to deport. If they could not get jobs and employers and politician were held accountable, the problem would take care of itself.

Answer 9

Yes legal immigrants ... but remenber that 20, 30 or 40 years ago immigration laws were totally different !!

Why people immigrate illegally ?? well let me just tell you this, with all the food the US waste monthly its enough to feed all the hungry people in the continent of Africa.

You dont want illegal immigration ?? then go to the root of the problem, help poor countries to educate their population and attack corruption regardless of who did it !! why you should do it ?? and not themselves ? well if you dont do that in a long term its going to affect your country.

Its normal for every human to pursue happyness ! if in one place they cant do it they gon go somewhere else until they find it. Its normal, its survival instinct !

Answer 10

good question. now call the surveyors about that fence. and my good man you might want to consider if you want lawbreakers living next to you. illegal is illegal whether you are here illegally or whether you have just made the drug deal of a lifetime. it is the same.
