column titled, "Mexican Visitor's Lament"- 10/25/07.
I interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver
last week. Hernandez said, "illegal aliens pay rent, buy groceries, buy
clothes. What Happens to your country's economy if 20 million people go
away?"
Hmmm, I thought, what would happen, so I did my due diligence, buried my
nose as a reporter into the FACTS I found below.
It's a good question it deserves an honest answer. Over 80% of Americans
demand secured borders and illegalmigration stopped. But what would
happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers I found may
surprise you!
In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave
an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt
hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less
congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the
dominant language again.
In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and
grandchildren would move back 'home', mostly to Mexico. That would save
Colorado an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 billion) annually in
taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs.
It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.
Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that
those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young
and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents,
rapes and other crimes by illegals.
Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67% dropout/flunk rate because of
thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least
200,000 vehicles would vanish from our grid locked cities in Colorado. Denver's
4% unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at
a living wage.
In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to
America, the rule of law, and English.
In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools,
prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.
If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home', the U.S. Economy would return to
the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage.
Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn't be
working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 Billion in IRS
income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local, state and city
coffers.
No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. No more confusion in American
schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the
educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose
more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free
breakfasts and lunches.
We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than
$1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who
distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country.
In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the '18th Street Gang' would vanish
from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans!
No more foreign rapists and child molesters!
Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and
gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal
aliens!
America's economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get rich.
Over $80 billion annually wouldn't return to the aliens' home countries by
cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which
further drains America 's economy which currently suffers an $8.7 trillion
debt. $8.7 trillion debt.
At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us
$109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia
and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupt out of
existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act.
Americans wouldn't suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in
our country-brought in by illegals un-screened at our borders.
Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking
our cities. It would also put the 'progressives' on the horns of a dilemma;
illegal aliens and their families cause 11% of our greenhouse gases.
Over one million of Mexico's poorest citizens now live inside and along our
border from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California in what the New York
Times called, 'colonias' or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas
resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs,
crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water,
streets, roads, electricity, or any kind of sanitation.
The New York Times reported them to be America's new 'Third World' inside
our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20
million residents of those colonias. (I've seen them personally in Texas
and Arizona; it's sickening beyond anything you can imagine.)
By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico. We should
invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better
life in Mexico. We already invite a million people into our country legally more
than all other countries combined annually. We cannot and must not allow
anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing
lawlessness at every level in our nation. It's time to stand up for our country,
our culture, our civilization and our way of life.
Interesting Statistics!
Here are 14 reasons illegal aliens should vacate America, and I hope they are
forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader
gets sick of reading them:
1. $14 billion to $22 billion dollars are spent each year on welfare to illegal
aliens.(that's Billion with a 'B')
2. $2.2 billion dollars are spent each year on food assistance programs such
as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens.
3. $7.5 billion dollars are spent each year on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
4. $12 billion dollars are spent each year on primary and secondary school
education for children here illegally and they still cannot speak a word of
English!
5. $27 billion dollars are spent each year for education for the American-born
children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
6. $3 Million Dollars 'PER DAY' is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. That's
$1.2 Billion a year.
7. 28% percent of all federal prison inmates are illegal aliens.
8. $190 billion dollars are spent each year on illegal aliens for welfare &
social services by the American taxpayers. -
9. $200 billion dollars per year in suppressed American wages are caused by
the illegal aliens.
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a
half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going
to make a huge additional crime problem in the US.
11. During the year 2005, there were 8 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that
crossed our southern border with as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from other
terrorist countries. Over 10,000 of those were middle-eastern terrorists. Millions
of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine, crack, Guns, and marijuana
crossed into the U.S.from the southern border.
12. The National Policy Institute, estimates that the total cost of mass
deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion, or an average cost of
between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.
13. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $65 BILLION in remittances back to their
countries of origin, to their families and friends.
14. The dark side of illegal immigration: Nearly one million sex crimes are
committed by illegal immigrants in the United States!
Total cost a whopping $538.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR WE WOULD SAVE!
