Obama wants us to embrace “undocumented immigrants,” and believes they need our help. Specifically, in his Dream Act, Obama believes that undocumented immigrants who want to attend an out of state college, should be able to pay tuition at a state resident rate. Legal aliens, who pay taxes, have gone through the legal system and have taken the time and effort to obtain the necessary documents to satisfy the legal process for immigrants, are expected to pay full out of state tuition levels for their college education.
This only seems unfair because it is unfair. It makes no sense, except in the case where this would get Obama votes and an almost guarantee of being re-elected.
But how can an undocumented immigrant vote without being discovered and outed by the “system”? Well, if the Democrats have their way, there will be no voting identification requirements to cast a vote, and I suspect that each household in question will receive a pamphlet from some liberal community organization, on how to go about beating the “system.” This liberal organization will be similar to those community organizations that our president is so familiar with—you know, like ACORN, and SEIU.
It’s always the evil “system” that has held back these people who have come to the land of hope, the land of dreams, and kept them from succeeding. It is never the fact that they refuse to comply with what is expected of any alien in any country who looks to make a better life for him or herself, and go through the legal procedures to accomplish this goal.
Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist. It’s shameful and Obama, if he had a real conscience, would be ashamed.
Who are these illegal aliens? Thanks to my Twitter buddy, Tom O’Halloran, I have a list of some of the contributions that illegal aliens have made to our society:
Contributions of Illegal Aliens to our Society (hat tip Tom O'Halloran)
2006 (First Quarter) INS/FBI Statistical Report on Undocumented Immigrants
CRIME: Illegal aliens account for 95% of all warrants in Los Angeles. In Phoenix, AZ, 83% of murder warrants are issued to illegal aliens, while in Albuquerque, NM, 86% of the warrants are for this group.
California detention centers hold almost 30% of the inmates who are Mexican Nationals, here illegally. Over half of all gang members in Los Angeles are ILLEGAL ALIENS
40.1 % of all inmates in Arizona detention centers are Mexican Nationals here ILLEGALLY
29 % (630,000) Convicted ILLEGAL ALIENS felons fill our state and federal prisons at the cost of $1.5 Billion annually.
I could go on discussing the problems with crime, but you get the picture.
BIRTHS: 380,000 Plus “ANCHOR BABIES” were born in the U.S. in 2005 to ILLEGAL ALIEN PARENTS, automatically making 380,000 babies U.S. Citizens, while 97.2% of all costs incurred from those births were paid for by American taxpayers. (But think of all the votes the Democrats can count on when illegal aliens can count on them to look the other way.)
66 % OF all births in California are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid by taxpayers
HOUSING: 300,000 plus illegal aliens in Los Angeles Country are living in garages and about 60% of all HUD properties are occupied by illegal aliens.
SCHOOLS: 34% plus of Arizona students in grades 1-12 are illegal aliens and 24% plus are non-English speaking
39% plus of California students in grades 1-12 are illegal aliens and 42% plus are non-English speaking
In Los Angeles County, 5.1 million people speak English – 3.9 million speak Spanish
SOCIAL SERVICES : 43% of all Food Stamps; 41% of all unemployment checks; 58% of all Welfare payments are issued are to illegal aliens. Less than 2 % of illegal aliens are picking crops but 41 % are on welfare
POPULATION: Over 70% of the U.S. annual population growth (and over 90% of CA, FL, and NY) results from immigration—no wonder Obama wants to look the other way where the laws are concerned.
TAXES: 62 % of all “undocumented immigrants” in the U.S. are working for cash and not paying taxes, predominantly illegal aliens are working without a green card
The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average illegal alien is $55,000 cost to the American taxpayer in a 5-year span. You personally pay $11,000 every year to illegal aliens.
JOBS (per Center for Immigration Studies – September 2006): Between 2000 and 2005, 4.1 million immigrant workers arrived in the U.S., accounting for 86% of the net increase in the total number of employed persons (16 & older), the highest share ever recorded in the U.S. Of the 4.1 million, between 1.4 and 2.7 million are estimated to be illegal aliens. Also, between 2000 and 2005, the number of young (16 to 34) native-born men employed declined by 1.7 million – at the same time, the number of new male immigrant workers increased by 1.9 million.
This is only a partial list—to detail all of the contributions illegal aliens make to our country would take too much space than a blog should take on one issue. But the one thing you should take from this is that illegal aliens are a problem, and they are given a special status that they don’t deserve. They are given this status because liberals know they’ll get their illegal votes—it’s as simple as that. Liberals might tell you how humane their intentions are, but make no mistake; their history of civil rights, both pre and post Civil War, is abominable. They were the original slaveholders, not the conservatives.
