Part 2 Immigration

   

Let's just start out with these figures:

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the standard unemployment rate (referred to as U-3) for U.S.-born adults who have not completed high school was 18.7 percent.

Using the broader measure of unemployment (referred to as U-6), which includes those who want to work but have not looked recently, the rate for U.S.-born adults who have not completed high school was 30.8 percent.

The U-3 unemployment rate for U.S.-born workers who have only a high school education and no additional schooling was 9.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012. Using the U-6 measure, the unemployment rate was 17.3 percent.

All of the above figures are much worse for less-educated adults under the age of 30.

The total number of U.S.-born working-age adults (18 to 65) not working was 50 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. This is up almost 8.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2007, when the recession began.

If we consider all American citizens (U.S.-born and naturalized), the number of working-age adults not holding a job was 53.7 million.

More than half (26.9 million) of working-age American citizens not holding a job have no education beyond high school. This is a huge pool of potential less-skilled workers.

The above figures for less-educated citizens not working do not include the 3.2 million adults forced to work part-time, nor do they include the 7.1 million teenagers (16 and 17) not working. They also do not include the 142,000 less-educated U.S. citizens over age 65 who are actively looking for a job.

In hosting America's largest population of illegal immigrants, California bears a huge cost to provide basic human services for this fast growing, low-income segment of its population. A new study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) examines the costs of education, health care and incarceration of illegal aliens, and concludes that the costs to Californians is $10.5 billion per year.

Now do not get me wrong I believe in immigration, in the legal sense. But when you here these groups like La Raza say "what have we done wrong?" I say well you broke the law on day one of your entering the U.S. illegally. Over the past 20 years countries in the E.U. have absorbed a growing number of immigrants from North Africa and Asia. They now out number the population of natural born citizens in Britain France, Germany, Greece and so fourth. You might think that is not a big deal, but when you look at how much debt these countries are in and how strained their infrastructure is you might just rethink your position.

Don't take my word for it search for these answers yourself. You will be very surprised on what you find.

This site is a good place to start.

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.
