It's time
To stop the leaks on our borders. Studies show that ILLEGAL ALIENS are causing irreparable damage to our economy, our culture, and our national security.
I've heard the arguments that the illegals only come seeking the opportunities that don't exist in their country; and those arguments are, to be kind, specious bunk.
Statistics paint a totally different picture. Where illegals are plentiful, unemployment is at its' highest.
Crime rates along the border have jumped.
Doctors, clinics, and hospitals are going bankrupt in spite of the huge infusions of taxpayer dollars going to them to pay for the medical needs of these non-taxpaying non-citizens.
Schools have huge numbers of illegal alien children (whose parents DO NOT pay school taxes).
The main argument given for allowing illegals in this country is, "They're taking jobs citizens won't take.".
That is pure bunk. The fact is, the people saying that are actually exploiting the illegals by paying them less, not providing benefits, and avoiding employer taxes on them. In many cases, the illegal is a de facto slave, working to pay off his 'coyote'. His family may be held hostage to guarantee payment.
Prices for certain items are much higher along the border.
Last year, more than 13 BILLION dollars were sent beck to Mexico by illegals working in this country. That is money which was largely untaxed; and which left our economy permanently.
As for national security, many of the illegals entering this country are from countries inimical to us. Iraq, Iran, Syria, Jordan, etc. all are contributors to the flood of illegals entering the United States.
Why is this allowed to continue? One reason, one word: Votes!
We can stop it...Write to your congressman. Write to the President. Demand an end to the open border policy which has existed since Clinton took office!
You can also refuse to patronize people who hire illegals.
Stop illegal immigration and watch our country grow!
