I'll take your word for it, Rod. No need to go digging for your references again.
38 million. That's the population of a whole country.
Hernandez told Cong Tancredo that the Mexican govt is plotting to increase the flow of Mexican nationals into the US..........to serve Mexicos needs:
(1) to increase $50B a year remittances (30% of Mexican GDP);
(2) to secure US employment for an exploding Mexican population,
(3) to alleviate mexico's social instability;
(4) to force US taxpayers to provide free training and college degrees to Mexicans who are expected to return to Mexico with these skills.
Mexico desires amnesty b/c millions of Hispanics tied economically, politically and linguistically to Mexico can exert enormous influence on US....that means billions of US tax dollars transferred to Mexico. US citizens will be forced to subsidize another failed foreign government.
==================================
THE LATEST RIPOFF The bogus Mexican "drug war" is creating a new class of illegals pouring in, claiming "persecution" to gain entry. The Mexican gov't is coaching its citizens-----as a way to suckoff working class US taxpayers and collect US govt freebies. Social Security provides financial aid to these "refugees."
Keep in mind these people never paid a dime into the SS system; yet, they can collect seven years straight and get extended payments if they are politically well-connected. The SS checks to these "persecuted refugees" can amount to $1000 a month...... and more. Some are wealthy nationals whining about "persecution" in order to collect.
Walsh also has other documentation that helps show just how "conservative" his figures are. And since this info is several years old, by now who knows just how many there are. Add in birth rates, a couple of more years at 1.2 X 3 million and the overall conservative nature of the estimate to begin with, and it would not be out of the realm to guess that we could have between 45 and 50 million now. Our population is 300 million, if we have an addition 45 million that are illegal just think about the strain on social systems, law enforcement, crime, etc etc. its almost incalculable.
