Finally, someone comes out with a reasonably believable figgure as to how many illegals are here.
285,000,000 U.S. Population
35,300,000 Illegal Mexicans
249,700,000 How many of this remaining figgure are illegals from other countries? Fifteen million? Twenty million? How many are legal immigrants from third world nations? Ten to Twenty million, counting all forms of legal immigration including that ever gaping loop hole "Political Asylum"?
In the last decade, the 11.2 million immigrants who arrived, plus the 6.4 million children born to immigrants living here, equaled almost 70% of the nation’s population growth. That’s just flat-out too much, too fast.
Hmm. Let's see...
Uncontrolled population growth is bad....unless it's the result of uncontrolled immigration.
Crime is bad....unless it's the result of aliens breaking immigration (and often other) laws.
Wage depression is bad...unless it happens because immigrants are "doing the jobs Americans won't do"...for the depressed wages.
Expansion of overtaxed state educational and welfare facilities is bad...unless necessary to accommodate an uncontrolled inflow of immigrants, both legal and illegal....I mean, "undocumented."
Leaving our borders undefended against hostile infiltration and incursion is bad...unless otherwise all those immigrants would have to enter the US legally, if at all.
OK, I think I got it now. I hope we all get it soon, before it gets us.
This, in my mind, is nothing less than a hostile act against the American people.
It states the Hispanic population has grown 58% to 35.3 million. It does not state that those are illegals.
There are between 8 and 11 million illegal aliens in the US from all different countries, not just Mexico.
The remainder of the 35.3 million Hispanics are legal residents or first generation Americans.
I never seem to be able to trust Government numbers, or polls, or statistics, or promises. So you think it really is around 8 to 11 mil? Your's is an opinion I can respect.
Not to worry. They are only taking jobs which Americans don't wan't. Or jobs that Americans can't get because Affirmative Action also applies to these Border Bounders.
The really Big Losers? The "African-American" community, who have been pushed out of accessible jobs. When the Hispanics start closing in on Public Safety, Public School, and the other areas of the Public Sector, like Welfare Departments, there's going to be blood in the corridors as they challenge what the present recumbents regard as their race-based entitlements.
Do you believe we could stop 90 percent with 30' high, guarded walls?
How deep would the foundation have to be to prevent tunneling?
Wouldnt it be more accurate to say that you dont care because you dont percieve it to be affecting you personally. It must be nice and cheap to be so charitable when your giving away things that dont matter to you, or belong to you.
