Can you read the stats?

America needs immigrants. That is why they have the Green Card Lottery. People complain about illegals because it is shoved down their throats that they steal jobs and draw down health care. Come on. Better budgeting is what fixes failing educational system. Not deporting illegals.

READ THESE STATS.

From the L.A Times:

1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County has 10 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.

2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.

6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County ar e living in garages.

7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.

8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.

10. In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak Spanish (10.2 million people in L.A.County).

(All the above from the Los Angeles Times)

Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.

Over 70% of the United States' annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration.

The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was, (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay), a NET $70 BILLION a year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University]. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE number.

29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

Do you know the difference between legal and illegal? When you know, you will find your answer.

Mr. Curious

This may be the easiest question I've answered in six months.

1. All of those in the statistics you prefaced with PAY TAXES on their earnings. They CONTRIBUTE to the system and help those legal citizens in need.
2. Those you listed in your statistics pay their own way--they have health insurance, they pay for their own health care, they have insurance, they pay into social security, they help carry the tax payer's burden.
3. Pedro-the-tomato-picker does NOT pay any income tax and often no sales tax when they buy food and foodstuffs from street vendors who also avoid taxes.
4. Pedro-the-tomato-picker has 11 children all of whom get free healthcare at the local emergency room every time little Maria Avilas Espinoso Rodriguez has a sniffle. Rather than go to the drugstore and buy medication like real Americans do, they pack up the family and clog up the emergence room so little Paco can be told to put a bandage on it. While real Americans who are bleeding, suffering migraines, nursing broken bones, get to wait in line behind 110 illegal Mexicans getting free health care.

My wife is an RN and EVERY single night when I take her to work I walk through the emergency room and I see a sea of Mexican faces all awaiting their "free" healthcare at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer. My wife talks with ER nurses every single night and they cannot stand it any longer. They have case after case of illegal Mexicans clogging up the system with petty, non-emergencies simply because they cannot be turned away. Meanwhile, our tax dollars, that should be going to helping real Americans gets wasted on this group of criminals who steal our money.

Any other simple points I can clear up for you dear?

buzzy360comecme

Don't care how it is worded or what the stats are
ILLEGAL is ILLEGAL
What does it take to get it through to your pea brain
Legal OK
ILLEGAL NOT OK
Does it take an Illegal alien invader to RAPE you Child to brighten you up
The Illegal alien invaders are RAPING the USA.
Why is it dumb Phucks like you can't understand

PraTrp

Key word: ILLEGAL!! Is this really that hard to understand: People do not like it when you break the law. Do you lobby this hard for all criminals or just certain ones? Yes, I am fully aware of "this country is a nation of immigrants". But, your first act upon entering the country should not be an illegal one. Why is it so hard to understand that the average person doesn't care for criminals?

People have problems with the skilled immigrants as well, but that is usually lobbied by trade unions competitive to the category. IT types, for example fight the H1B visas, and the desire to raise quotas.

There is supposed to be a finding that there is no one available (or that there are not enough people available) to do the jobs, though, which minimizes the problem. And the number of visas is much lower than the number of illegal immigrants, and we are the ones who control it. And because they make more money they pay more taxes and are on the subsidizing side rather than the subsidized side.

Oh yeah, and they didn't break our law.

i_luv_music

OMH! They do! It's not just adults they are stealing jobs from. Kids in high school look for the kind of jobs that the illegals are taking, because they are minimum wage and don't require them to work all day. For example: Fast food, delivery, cooks, custodial jobs, maid service. There's so many more! Illegals are taking these jobs because they don't have the balls to come here legally, learn English, go to school and get a degree, so that they can get good paying jobs. There intelligence grows as well. Have you ever met a legal immigrant that has done all these things? They are very intelligent. Have you ever met an illegal that works at McDonald's? They aren't very bright.

No one is going to complain about legal immigrants attaining the American dream. So your mixing apples and oranges. You're entire premise suggests American citizens who are foreign born bear a different status then American citizens born on this soil They are not different so no one complains. A citizen of the US is a citizen of the US no matter where they were born.

Once again, the issue isn't immigrants. The issue is illegal aliens.

princess_29_71

Bunt, (what an ugly name) I think you get more stupid by the minute. We don't need you. We never have. We never will. Have you ever said anything intelligent in your life? I doubt it. Just keep living in your fantasy world. I hope they deport your stupid a ss.

thelogicalferret

wait, wait. did you just say Pedro the tomato picker that can't even speak English? didn't you just say in another post that most illegals speak perfect English? i think you did. you can't even keep your story straight. how do you expect people to take you seriously?

*Susan*

they are just better that American born professionals that is why they get the job because they excel in the work havent you thought of it?

are you smart enough to solve physics problems or even to define what space-time is? if not shut the fu... up

or are you working in any of these fields? i doubt it hahahaha.

Mr. Boof

We have been letting in people who can be productive members of our society for years. How many of those "1 in 5" doctors are in US prisons for rape, robbery, and murder? There's a reason why we are selective about who we want here. We take the best and brightest, because they can contribute more to society than Pedro-the-tomato-picker spreading e-coli.

yars232c

WOW ARE YOU SAYING THEY ARE HERE ILLEGALLY???

DOH!!!

TO BAD YOUR NOT

Yared

They know the difference, but they think if they keep talking about the same issues we will forget.

We won't

l2aidersl2ule

i agree, you leave pedro alone. he can pick one hell of a tomato.

Yukaza

You are confused ,you are talking about legal immigrants,
of course they are welcomed.But we are talking about all the Illegal immigrants.,they are not welcome,not wanted and not needed..Go home
Fix your own country
No amnesty
Deportation not legalization

I know you are going to insult me ,and call me names ,but we both know you only do it because you have no real argument for people being illegal,they are just too lazy to do it the correct and legal way.
So insult away,I could care less.

angela R

hahahaha.....Your very good bunt...Thanks for link...We do need immigrants, and illegal immigrants also serve a vital part of our economy. Truly, if this govt wanted to throw out illegals, they certainly have the means to do so, but honestly, they help more than they take....So, the status quo remains....

Minina

That is exactly what some U.S. citizens are concerned with. I doubt very much they're concerned with us taking their crop picking, back breaking positions, but rather are concerned because we are becoming educated and will eventually take the high end positions, executive, teachers, engineers, lawyers, etc.
