Just a Thought: Illegal Immigration in the U.S.
Just a Thought: Illegal Immigration in the U.S.: " Well lets get started on the basics. 1. 113 billion dollars: the cost. 75% of this is absorbed by the states. 2. 52 billion The cost..."
Illegal Immigration in the U.S.
Well lets get started on the basics.
1. 113 billion dollars: the cost. 75% of this is absorbed by the states.
2. 52 billion The cost of educating the children.
3. 2.700 dollars The average dollar amount a single illegal cost the government.
4. 51% of Mexican immigrant households that use at least one major welfare program.
5. 28% use more than one.
6. 1.4 million use Food stamps. WIC,School lunches,Medicaid,TANF,Public housing,SSI
Now just a little on the dark side:
1. In 2001 undocumented criminals in Federal prisons alone 42.424.
2. in 2004 that number went to 48.708.
3. The cost in 2001 was 950 million.
4. The cost in 2004 was 1.2 billion.
Now these are just numbers, but when you look at the budget battle going on in this country you cannot discount the fact that illegal immigration is a huge problem in this country. As Americans we have good hearts but we are going in the wrong direction when it comes to this problem. Now do not get me wrong I believe in immigration, but legally. We talk about when pulled over by the police, when they ask for proof of citizenship, is this a bad thing. If you go to any south American country they do that everywhere. They do this all over the world. But, ok I will digress on this. If you are caught in Mexico illegally the punishment is harsh as it is in most if not all south American countries. Why no outcry in this country about this. The President of Mexico comes to America and tells us our laws are too harsh on illegals, while in his own country they are twice as bad.
Well dancing around this problem is not going to get us nowhere. Illegal immigration is a hugh problem in this country, it cost an atrocious amount of money. We have to stop being so damn politically correct and face this problem head on. Now a days it comes up during Presidential elections and local elections. These people running for these offices are going to lie to you about their view, they will tell you only what is popular at the time. My God if you add up the amount of money we spend on this problem and paying all this money to other countries to prop up their own governments, which is in the hundreds of billions a year. If you want to fix this country and get it back on the right track stop this madness.
The reason why the greatest generation of the 1920's through the 1960' is over. This country in world war two pulled together like no other country in modern history. This country innovated and built technology and a mutual respect for one another. Not so much now. We have broken off in splinter groups like blacks against whites, hispanics against blacks, gay against straight, rich against poor, and so on if you look hard enough their is a group for anything now a days. When did we stop being Americans? Now we are Asian Americans, Indian Americans, African Americans, and so on. We have political alliances Spanish Caucus a Black Caucus and so on, by the way their is no white caucus. Hum wonder why. Do you think its because it might inflame one of the groups of people I talked about above. Maybe, who knows.
If you want to stop this problem use your head, "its that thing 3 fT above your ass". We need to stop this political correctness BS, and face this problem head on. I went through the Tornados here in Alabama and I have seen the best in America taking care of their own. Black, white,hispanic,asian, it did not matter we all flew the U.S. flag, pitched in and helped each other and were Americans first. So I know we have it in us to do so. But you have to avoid the groups who try to separate us from each other by race and religion, and so on. Stand up for yourself and your country and we will make it through this. The reason why this is the greatest country in the world is because we look out for each other. Not so much anymore, we have begun thinking we can fix everyone else. We need to fix our self first, deal with the problems we have right here in our own country. I have seen devastation here in Alabama like I have never seen before but I have seen brotherhood and sisterhood like I have never seen before. During this time of devastation I did see a glimmer of the Greatest Generation. We need to build on that.
