What if 20 million unlawful immigrants vacated America?
Denver Rocky Mountain News ^ | 10/25/07 | Tina Griego

"They (illegal aliens) pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes...what happens to your country's economy if 20 million people go away?"

That's a good question – it deserves an answer. Over 80 percent of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers 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, bankrupted hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominate language again.

In Colorado, 700,000 illegal migrants, plus their 200,000 kids and grand-kids – would move back "home," mostly to Mexico. That would save Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 B) 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 percent drop out/flunk out rate via thousands of illegal alien students speaking 85 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado. Denver's four percent unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.

An article published in 2007, but worth repeating. With seven years passing, the billions numbers of illegals here have increased.

11 million is now 20 million?

I wish it was only 20 million. 85% or more of my neighbors are Hispanic and many speak little or no English, which tells me they’re recent arrivals.

It’s something we should try. Send them all home, along with all the imported Muslims, and let’s see how things work out. I’m betting things will get better.

Whatever the Illegal Immigration Lobby and this Administration will admit to, use the rule of 3’s. They say 11 million, means 33 million really here.

Not necessarily. Plenty of legals and illegals can't speak English, even after being here for decades.

Why did you use Rocky Mountain News as your source-——it’s just cited in the Examiner article?

Secure the border, enforce the law, and stop the influx.

Of course, they won’t vacate all at once.

The ones who are able to find a way to legalize themselves will do it. The ones who for various reasons are rather safe from being caught will attempt to stay. Others, as it gets harder to stay, harder to find work, will move back home.

The ones who get caught, obviously, go immediately. Their families will inevitably follow especially if they don’t see a future here.

Cut off welfare payments to anyone not provably a legal resident.

Deport every foreign felon, and you’ll start to clean out the gangs.

This is not a bad thing and its not that complicated. Secure the border, enforce the law, and over time the problem solves itself.

The absence of ALL persons who are here in the territory once known as “the United States of America” would have a PROFOUND effect on the representation in Congress. Without a doubt, large numbers of these “undocumented” residents have been cheerfully going about the business of voting and collecting various kinds of largess from government and some private sources, while tying up traffic, overcrowding our schools, and taxing the capabilities of community services. Without these numbers, the various offices and “outreach” programs would dry up and wither away, as they wold no longer have any clientele remaining.

And without these engines of graft running, a LOT of our elective representatives at every level of government would be turned out at the next election.

Unless, or course, these same operatives could find another grievance group to adopt and become THEIR “voice”.

They pay rent, groceries etc. with subsidized tax money.
If they go home there is more money for citizens.
And more Americans will be employed. Same amount of
money. Just different people spending it.
Americans could afford to by more if not forced
to subsidize illegals.

In order to make a pure dollars and cents comparison, issues of lawlessness aside, the retail expenditures and labor cost reduction would have to be taken into account in addition to the societal expense. I don’t doubt that it’s a net drain, personally. But, numbers are numbers, if honestly tallied. That’s been a very difficult thing to come by pertaining to this particular issue.

“85% or more of my neighbors are Hispanic and many speak little or no English, which tells me they’re recent arrivals.”

No so. I heard a news story a couple of years ago when UC Berkeley took janitor jobs private. IN the story they interviewed a man who had worked as a janitor for 25 years. They had to interview him through an interpreter. Worse than that, union jobs at schools provide free education. IN 25 years this man did NOTHING to better himself. Oddly, the tone of the story was such to try and illicit sympathy for this man.

Nothing by Tina Griego is worth repeating.

Because they have no incentive or desire to assimilate, and the way the government panders to them they have no need to.

Unfortunately, none of our "leaders" are as smart as you. They WANT the illegals here, and what you or I think about it matters not one bit to them.
