Sheriffs want to test immigration ruling

Some border county sheriffs want Arizona schools to start asking students whether they are in this country legally. Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, who originated the idea, said Arizona taxpayers are underwriting millions of dollars of costs of teaching English to children who have no legal right to be here.

He also said there is a link between illegal immigration and social problems and gang activity. HERE

Presenting Our New Taxpayer Burden Page

By Charles Breiterman, Friday, April 24, 2009, 9:08 AM

NumbersUSA staff has developed a taxpayer burden page. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the information on it so you can make the point to your friends that amnesty costs up to 70 times more than enforcement. The cost of amnesty to the taxpayer will be $999 billion, while the cost of the October bank bailout (TARP) was a mere $700 billion. The blog that follows may be somewhat taxing on your mind, but it is nothing compared to the taxes on your money that you will be shelling out to the government if amnesty is passed!

Eighty percent of illegal aliens are low-skilled.1 Paul Krugman, the liberal economist and Nobel Laureate has written, “Unfortunately, low-skill immigrants don’t pay enough taxes to cover the cost of the benefits they receive.”2 That means American taxpayers must subsidize the costs of services to people who have illegally entered our nation.

Before getting into figures, let me try to illustrate why it is impossible for low-skilled illegal aliens to pay their own way in a 21st century society that offers hundreds of government benefits and services. Below is a table of some of the benefits that people who are currently illegal aliens will be entitled to if they become legal U.S. citizens. Some illegal aliens manage to obtain some of these benefits now. For example, President Obama’s Aunt Zeitouni was exposed as an illegal alien living in taxpayer subsidized housing in Boston. However, participation will rise dramatically if there is a mass legalization because people will be lawfully qualified for these benefits:

TANF- Temporary Assistance to Needy Families Taxpayer Subsidized Housing
WIC- Women, Infants and Children Nutrition Program Social Security
AFDC- Aid to Families with Dependent Children Help with utility bills
SSI- Supplemental Security Income Unemployment insurance
EITC- Earned Income Tax Credit Medicaid
ACTC- Additional Child Tax Credit Medicare
SNAP- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Social worker services

Reconquistas debate whether pro-amnesty rallies are wise now

Energized by a renewed prospect of success, Latinos in Dane County and across the country are planning to go to the streets again on May 1 to hold President Barack Obama to his assurances that immigration reform is on the way…

Meanwhile, organizers with the Fair Immigration Reform Movement, which is staging marches in cities across the country, are framing their message to say “humane” immigration reform will benefit all workers and not just immigrants. “A pro-worker immigration reform bill will benefit both native and foreign workers who are more vulnerable in this weak economy to abuse by bad employers,” said Christine Neumann-Ortiz of Milwaukee-based Voces de la Frontera.

That political tack is aimed at defusing political backlash like the kind that came after massive nationwide rallies in 2006 put a spotlight on immigration reform. And it is that potential that has led some advocates for immigrant rights to advise tempering the rhetoric this season.

Peter Munoz, executive director of Centro Hispano, Dane County’s premier agency serving Latinos, warned that the heady marches that brought out hundreds of thousands three years ago in support of immigration reform eroded popular and political support and unleashed workplace raids that led to the detention and deportation of workers and the separation of immigrant families…

Mexicans total 32% of “immigrants”

President Obama arrived in Mexico for a visit Thursday but he could have stayed home if he was looking for a Mexican audience. — A record 12.7 million Mexican immigrants lived in the U.S. in 2008, a 17-fold increase since 1970, according to a study released Thursday by the Pew Hispanic Center…

No other country in the world has as many total immigrants from all countries as the United States has immigrants from Mexico alone. Other than the United States, the country that hosts the largest number of immigrants is Russia, with 12 million foreign born,” the study said.

The majority of Mexican citizens in the U.S. – 55 percent – are here illegally. And Mexicans comprise a majority (59 percent) of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants now within our borders.
