I, Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote a column titled, "Mexican Visitor's Lament."
I interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said, "Illegal aliens pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes. What happens to your country's economy if 20 million people go away?"
Hmmm, I thought, what would happen?
So I did my due diligence, buried my nose as a reporter into the FACTS I found below.
It's a good question... it deserves an honest answer. Over 80% of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers I found may surprise you!
In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominant language again.
In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grandchilds would move back "home," mostly to Mexico. That would save Colorado an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 billion) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.
Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.
Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67% dropout/flunk rate because of thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado. Denver's 4% unem ployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.
In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America, the rule of law, and English.
In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.
If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home,' the U.S. Economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn't be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local, state and city coffers.
No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.
We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country.
In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the '18th Street Gang' would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!
Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens!
America's economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get rich. Over $80 billion annually wouldn't return to the aliens' home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America 's economy which currently suffers an $8.7 trillion debt. $8.7 trillion debt!!!
At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupt out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act. Americans wouldn't suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country - brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.
Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities. It would also put the 'progressives' on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11% of our greenhouse gases.
Over one million of Mexico's poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas, to San Diego, California, in what the New York Times called, 'colonias' or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, roads, electricity, or any kind of sanitation.
The New York Times reported them to be America's new 'Third World' inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonials. (I've seen them personally in Texas and Arizona; it's sickening beyond anything you can imagine.)
By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico. We should invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico. We already invite a million people into our country legally annually, more than all other countries combined. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation.
It's time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life.
Interesting Statistics!
Here are 14 reasons illegal aliens should vacate America, and I hope they are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them:
1. $14 billion to $22 billion dollars are spent each year on welfare to illegal aliens (that's Billion with a 'B')
3. $7.5 billion dollars are spent each year on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
4. $12 billion dollars are spent each year on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they still cannot speak a word of English!
5. $27 billion dollars are spent each year for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
6. $3 Million Dollars 'PER DAY' is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. That's $1.2 Billion a year.
7. 28% percent of all federal prison inmates are illegal aliens.
8. $190 billion dollars are spent each year on illegal aliens for welfare & social services by the American taxpayers.
9. $200 billion dollars per year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in t he US.
11. During the year 2005, there were 8 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our southern border with as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from other terrorist countries. Over 10,000 of those were middle-eastern terrorists. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin, crack, guns, and marijuana crossed into the U.S. from the southern border.
12. The National Policy Institute, estimates that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion, or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.
13. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $65 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin, to their families and friends.
14. The dark side of illegal immigration: Nearly one million sex crimes are committed by illegal immigrants in the United States!
Total cost a whopping $538.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR !
Too late for that...This should have been done 25++ years ago...
Con the kids, brainwash the brains and divide the united. Use lawless open borders and chaotic chain migration.
It's been extremely effective..
Why not a similar article: What if 20 Million Welfare recipients vacated America?
Take all the same numbers and multiply them by ten (10).
Yes, while all this energy is used up fighting about illegal aliens, the actual cancer that is eating the country just grows and grows.
Focus on the big issues first!
“The information in this blog post is interesting but one-sided. For instance it does not address at all the economic contribution”
ONE SIDED? Who cares? They don’t belong here. They are ILLEGAL. They are criminals. They are not sweet or cuddly or warm or anything else endearing. They are criminals.
If you lived in Texas and saw all the mess they create they might not be so sweet to you.
I watched one in the other day at Walgreens with her white companion and Amendment 14 filthy baby on her hip. Thinking about flu shots. The companion got his for $30 bucks. The only english she could speak was MEDICADE. She damn well knew that. the little shite she was with had a wad of $20s big enough to choke a horse but they were going to get the rest of the flu shots on MEDICADE!
THEY ARE A NET COST TO ALL OF US!!!
The only gain is to the people who hire them because they are cheap. It is a false economy.
When are the stupid people of this country going to understand that they have been invaded and that the invaders are like locusts taking food and well being from our mouths and the future of their children?
It’s the kind of social/economical experiment that has to be experienced to be understood. With a little lag time in some areas, like yard work and public schools graft, it should be a whopping success story.
They still don’t know how to fix toilets!
Focus on the big issues first!
Is this code? What's your big issue? Care to be specific?
Why do you not say what you mean?
Lets hear it.
Maybe Mexican journalists should be more concerned with their own government’s continual failure to provide a future for their own people, instead of lamenting how another country’s government treats them.
Don’t forget the ole EITC
It absolutely addresses the economic contribution illegal aliens have on our economy.
Their contribution is gang violence, urban decay, tax evasion, drug trafficking, and lower to middle class job destruction.
Sure welfare is a huge problem but if more jobs were available less people would be on welfare in the first place
I don’t believe everyone on welfare is deliberately gaming the system because they are too lazy to work. Probably most-but I’m sure there are a lot of people on welfare who finally resorted to it out of desperation and would work in a NY minute to get off it
Don’t you need a social security number to be able to pay FICA?
If they have one, how did they get it?
The good news is that the 20 million illegal alien invaders figure is starting to close in on the actual number. Just add 10 or 20 million more and we’ll finally be there. That 11 million figure they spew all of the time is just liberal BS. I don’t think the commie ‘RATS are counting that 10-20 million “living in the shadows” and sending dollars back “HOME” to Mexico and points south.
OK, how about this for specific. I live in south Texas. We are in the middle of a housing boom that is about to go bust. Why? Because all of our wetbacks that should be building our houses have been stolen by Yankee states and are now up there building their houses.
And this is because of awful wages: no, we pay $15 to $18 and hour, but the Yankee states will pay more.
And this is because we have no welfare recipients to do this work: naa, we have plenty of them. But why go outside and work when I can stay inside and get a check.
We have a lot of very naive people posting here that have some fantasy about a single solution. Send the wetbacks home, I don't care. But if you think that will “open up low paying jobs so people can go to work,” you are on drugs. I don't consider $15-$18 bucks an hour to be low pay, and none of our welfare collectors want anything to do with them.
The REAL problem in this country is welfare and the welfare culture. And for some reason, not even the most right wing of Republicans want to talk about it. Want to feel old? It's been 33 years since Regan used the term, “Welfare Queens.” Don't hold your breath waiting from some national level politician to use it again!
See my reply at post 35.
Anyone home there???
Hello??
Study: 70% of Texas’ illegal immigrant families receive welfare
A new study has found that a remarkable 70% of illegal aliens in Texas are on the dole.
57 percent of immigrants with children - those in the country legally or not use at least one government, welfare program according to a report released Tuesday by the Center for Immigration Studies.
In comparison, 39 percent of native-born Americans with children are signed up for welfare, the report found.
In Texas, 54 percent of legal immigrants and 70 percent of illegal immigrants receive welfare assistance, with illegal immigrants generally receiving benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born children, according to the study, written by a think tank that favors reducing immigration into the U.S.
Overall, Texas tied with California and New York for the second highest immigrant welfare rates behind Arizona.
Texas showed 61 percent of households headed by an immigrant utilizing at least one program compared to the 42 percent of Texas natives on welfare.
They use someone else’s. Then the US government sends the ‘overpayment’ to the government of Mexico. A GWB agreement I believe.
You can’t make this stuff up!
Something fishy here, DBCJR. This article was published, as near as I can tell, on 10/25/07.
I think removing every illegal alien, and their “natural born progeny” FRom the USA would be a great idea!
Surely there are more recent articles than this one about the many, many benefits that would accrue to America?
HST, I think this issue needs a vigorous debate!
See 35....
Illegals are literally choking off everything.....All social services, schools, jails, hospitals....every thing.
Those suggesting this is not a massive country killing issue likely enjoy their cheap low wage illegal labor, as they count their profits on the backs of tax payers who are now on their GD knees.
