A country that many of them or their ancestors have left? Shouldn't Latin America, which has 37 billionaire citizens, including Mexican citizen Carlos Slim, now the world's wealthiest person, work to improve life for their own citizens?"
November 2006 Rand Corp. study, health care provided to illegal adult
migrants alone costs about $6.4 billion a year nationally and that 68
percent of illegal migrants are uninsured. If another amnesty were adopted,
tens of millions of newcomers, U.S.-born and foreign-born relatives of
illegal migrants, could be added within 20 years to the U.S. population.
They will also consume energy, require education, health care, welfare, and
other costly social services provided to them cannot be covered by any
taxes paid due to their low incomes.
On 7/7/06, Mexican American professor Armando Navarro, who has fought
all U.S. measures to secure our borders, was quoted in the Los Angeles
Times as saying, "A new majority is forming. Everything will change. The
White House will be within our reach."
"Can this nation achieve fiscally responsible health
care and other reforms without opposing amnesty and adopting Mexico's
immigration policies?" : "In the past 15 years, more than 50
million people have been added to the U.S. population, mostly due to
immigration-driven increases. The U.S. population quadrupled from 1900 to
2007, from 76 million to 303 million. Another quadrupling of 303 million is
India's current population, and that could happen within the lifetimes of
today's children's children! Do Hispanic activists want to turn the United
States into another Mexico or part of the Mexican nation -- a country that
many of them or their ancestors have left? Shouldn't Latin America, which
has 37 billionaire citizens, including Mexican citizen Carlos Slim, now the
world's wealthiest person, work to improve life for their own citizens?"
