But, but, when Calderon whined about Arizona, he didn't tell the Congress all o' that (/snix)

REVVING UP RECONQUISTA The Mex govt is creating conditions to drive millions of invaders into the US to begin Reconquista....and is even facilitatting drug cartel gun violence to hurry the process.
Mexican govt is cuing its citizens over the border......creating new classes of US refugees whining to get tax-subsidized "Political Asylum to protect them from Drug Wars."
HOW? Social Security has a "persecution" classification (originated when Eastern Bloc refugees claiming religious or political persecution. (AND GET THIS: Connivers from circa WW II eastern Europe and other Soviet satellite countries are STILL collecting).
The Mexican govt is coaching its citizens to pour into the US, whining about "persecution from drug violence." Some of these whiners are wealthy phonies, squatting on US soil, intent on draining the US treasury.
THE RIPOFF UP CLOSE A Social Security category provides outrageous government financial aid to "refugees" claiming "persecution from drug violence." These phonies never paid a dime into the SS system; yet, they can collect seven years straight...... and can get extended payments if they are politically well-connected. The SS checks can amount to $1000 a month, and more.
In fiscal year 2008, the US government received 47,459 asylum claims and granted 10,743 - a decrease over the previous year's 54,957 applications and 12,807 approvals. (Immigration attorneys insist that asylum applications won't spike if the administration expands protection to battered women of spousal abuse).
======================================
MORE WAYS THAN ONE TO DRAIN THE US TREASURY Illegals are crying "domestic violence" to collect. "How are asylum authorities going to substantiate these claims when we know that domestic violence is a complicated thing," said Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the advocacy group Federation for American Immigration Reform. "This is getting the US into personal relationships, and that's not where asylum law ought to go."
Mehlman said his organization opposed expanding the asylum law (which was created in 1980 largely as a means for Communist Bloc citizens to defect while visiting the US in a diplomatic role.) Backers of the law at the time estimated that claims would average around 5,000 a year and drop off significantly after the Cold War ended.
====================================
Most of this money goes back to their home states and into federales' pockets. Corrupt Third World governments obviously use the same playbook---"How To Personally Profit By Draining the US Treasury."
