I'm looking for examples of the physical harm illegals have commited. Currently writing a speech (taking a debate course), debating the negative effects of illegal immigration. I wish to incorporate facts of harm they have done to American people. Additional Details I SAID HARM! NOT JUST BEING CRIMINALS BY CROSSING!I know there illegals (duh) and I know the economic issues they cause! I live on a boarder state..I need links to news articles and ect! Cannot find any..was hoping you could help.

They work "off the books" thus paying no taxes.
They utilize the health care and education system without paying into the general funds
They bring their gangs into this country, gangs that commit crimes, including murder.
They force the system to be bi-lingual costing business and government money (something that no other immigrant group has forced).
They are illegal and cost the system money for processing and deportation. |

13. Buying phony auto insurance from Mexican operatives so automobile with counterfeit tabs can be registered - Misdemeanor
14. Claiming poverty in a household with high income (for you less than informed - illegal households can easily make as much $100,000 a year tax free) so children can apply for free lunches at school - misdemeanor
15. Claiming poverty to get free medical care from free clinics - Felony - Fraud (hundreds in LA alone) and using first class hospital emergency rooms as family doctors for non-emergency medical - ALL ILLEGALS HAVE 100% MEDICAL COVERAGE AT NO COST TO THEM - PERIOD - Misdemeanor - Deportation.
16. Traffic citations and accidents - Illegals have no real name or address - if they are get a citation or are involved in an accident - they just disappear and surface again with a new counterfeit license and address- and good luck with your insurance company - misdemeanor – Deportation
Most people feel insurance is a scam, you give someone money for nothing every month but when you file a claim they do everything in their power to NOT give you anything and it is a battle to get anything, even if both people have insurance. There has got to be a better way. |

Well, they broke numerous federal laws by entering this country illegally. I would say that is a big one.
They do expose the individuals here in this county legally and its citizens to diseases they would normally be screened/treated for upon entering legally, such as TB. Many don't know they are carriers unless screened, and can cause those with weaker immune systems (infants/children, elderly, cancer patients, etc) to contract the disease. I think that is a rather serious thing, and can kill thousands of innocent people due to their insensitive views.
They also come here and due to necessity, commit violent crimes (robbery, etc). I am sure you can find a site that will tell you the stats of illegal immigrants and the crimes they commit.
They also bring hardship to the city/state government because they don't have the luxury of overspending their budgets, like the federal government can. If they go over budget, then that is it for the money - so the elderly and poor that use the state programs, roads, county employees (Dept of Child/Family Services) and the police and fire departments would all suffer. This is something that could endanger the wellbeing of the citizens of the city/state.
Going along those lines, school districts are paid so much per child each year - if there are more children than are "estimated" (remember - the illegal immigrants are not counted and/or documented), this leads to less teachers for more students, and less money all around. So the ones that are the most innocent are the ones that are hurt the most - the children. This hurts our nation's future, for the children of today are the leaders of tomorrow. If they aren't as educated as they should/could have been, then what will that do to our nation as a whole?
And then there are those that come here LEGALLY - what a slap in the face it must be for them, to go through all of the red tape, buerocracy and hoops, pay all of the fees and meet with all of the people needed to get them and their families into this nation legally, only to see others who think they have MORE of a right to come in just do so. Doesn't anyone think that affects the number of apps that are approved for visas and entry into this county? We only take in the number we can support logically.
We take in more immigrants legally than all of the other nations in the world COMBINED! Why do so many think that isn't enough? What about the rest of the world's participation in this issue? Why is our country expected to do so much, while other countries only complain about what we DON'T do? Maybe we should just take over the entire world, then EVERYONE would be in the US, and there wouldn't be any more issue with immigration. . .
Basically, illegal immigration isn't a "victimless crime" like so many wish to believe. Too many that are here are hurt by it, but too many people that wish to help everyone don't see what it does - or think of what it will do. |

Here are some links for you. This is only a small sampling of the data available. Check the state's statistics at the various states DOC sites as well. |

There has been a rise in disease proven to be caused from illegal immigration from the countries south of us. I say illegal immigration because people who come here legally have their vaccines. The diseases include: Tuberculosis, hepatitis, dengue fever, chagas, and even leprosy. |

I live on the border and my personal experiences with illegal aliens include having my home burglerized, my vehicle damaged when one or more of them tried to steal it, and several encounters with victims of violence and inhumane treatment by the smugglers. I have encountered drug smugglers and found a suicide victim that killed himself by hanging himself with his shoelaces from a mesquite tree. My three children were with me not a good thing anyway you look at it. Illegal aliens destroy the water pipelines and fences on the ranch where I work and leave enormous amounts of trash behind them. These things cause a lot of problems for me in my job caring for the cattle on this ranch several of which have died from eating the trash (they can't digest plastic bags or nylon string) and died from lack of water after getting out of the pasture and not being able to get back in thru the holes the aliens leave in the fences. The water table can't stand up to the constant pumping of the wells when the tanks get drained by the aliens tearing up the pipelines to get water. |

The fact that they are here in the first place is a crime. The word is ILLEGAL. Does that mean anything at all to you? They went against our laws and did not enter our country legally. In many countries they would have been shot as spies. |

They have worked and quite often gotten a visit at work from the Migra on payday. They have worked for low wages. They have been economic refugees or political refugees from their home countries. |
