Immigration.

     I have read so many stories this week on how illegal aliens do not contribute to the national debt, they help Americas economic future. I set back scratched my head and said to myself "that does not sound right". So I did some quick research on this subject and found how badly the media has lied and the Government also has lied about this particular subject.

     Many immigration studies support the fact that their are some 11 million illegal immigrants in this country. By legally joining the workforce the immigrants in question would generate a much needed income tax but in the same instance they would then become eligible for a certain level of government assistance. Research shows that creating a path for citizenship for so many illegal immigrants would result in significant cost to state and local and federal governments. A 2004 study showed that illegal immigrants paying taxes and getting access to such services as Medicaid and food stamps would cost taxpayers $29 billion annually.

     On average the cost that illegal households impose on federal coffers are less than half of that of other households, but their tax payments are only one-fourth that of other households. All of this is in a 2004 study "The High Cost of Cheap Labor: Illegal Immigration and the Federal Budget". 

     
          
     As shown by the results of a study done on this subject we have to fix this problem. You cannot keep adding people to a system that cannot absorbed them. You also cannot force people in this country to be happy that they have to pay such high tax rates to support one group of people, while watching their own
countrymen go hungry and without jobs.

     We as a country also cannot keep giving other 
countries money to prop up their economy while 
letting this one go down.

     I do not profess to know all of the answers 
but this direction of allowing massive immigration
influx is not the answer.
