L98Fiero,If some of us complaint about illegal aliens then we’re called racist.But the facts are that illegal aliens do come here illegally and get jobs with stolen Social Security numbers.They then sent 25 billion dollars a year back to Mexico, at the same time holding out their hand for public assistance. It costs the American tax payer around 45 billion dollars a year to pay for their Free medical care,Rent assistance,Food stamps,WIC, Translators for their children in our public schools and Free lunches.All free because their Anchor babies are American citizens! American cities along the border provide free emergency medical care for Mexican citizens, and what do the pregnant Mexican women do in return? They come across the border to have those Anchor babies ( American Citizens)!How about Elvira Arellano and her child,she was deported came back,had the child and return to work with a stolen Social Security number,she also had been in our country for 10 years,but had to have a translator at her news conference! Earlier this year illegal aliens demonstrated in the streets of our cities demanding amnesty by flying the American flag upside down below the Mexican flag and carrying signs saying “this land is ours Gringo” I would ask the supporters of illegal aliens what do you tell the millions of immigrants waiting in other countries that want to come here legally? Just because we share a common border that they can wade across to get here,does not give them the automatic right to American Citizenship Its worth more than that! “
Now tell me something I don’t know. ;)
I was merely conveying an anecdote. The fact remains, unemployment was pushing 20% in my parish. Despite that fact, farmers had to import immigrant labor to harvest because the lazies are being paid by the government to hang on the corner and drink 40s. Good paying work is available at harvest. No matter. It’s still “work” and I have seen with my own eyes that certain segments of the population just are NOT going to do it. They already have a source of income that does not require work.
This essay is about how those on the dole affect illegal immigration. My little anecdote is my experience with that first hand. That said, I have no evidence that any of these migrants were not here illegally. That’s not really the point, though. They point is about WHY they come.
In communities like where I’m from, farm owners are not going to stand idly by and let farms that have been in families for generations go unharvested because the local welfare recipients don’t want to work. In their vernacular, “It’ll mess up their check.”
