HireUSfirst - New Site Promotes Businesses who hire Legally
12 Million Illegal Immigrants Cost American Taxpayers $10B per Year.
http://www.HireUSFirst.com is the Way for Average Americans to Fight Back.
According to the latest report by the Pew Hispanic Center, there are as many as 12 million illegal immigrants currently in the United States, accounting for approximately 5% of the total US workforce.
Many people, particularly those in government and industry, view illegal immigration as a “victimless” crime and a cheap source of labor. But the reality is that every business owner who cheats the system by hiring an illegal immigrant is passing a significant financial burden on to the American taxpayer—and undermining the culture and future of this great nation.
According to a 2004 report by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), illegal immigrants used $26.3 billion in government services in 2002 but paid only $16 billion in taxes, resulting in a cost to taxpayers of $10 billion. And according to Harvard Professor George Borjas, in 2003 alone, illegal aliens displaced American workers at a cost exceeding $133 billion.
And that’s not even mentioning the immense costs to Americans in terms of higher health insurance premiums, car insurance, and the elevated crime rates and law enforcement costs that result from the massive numbers of illegal immigrants that flaunt our laws and take advantage of our systems.
The http://www.HireUSFirst.com web resource was launched in 2006 and provides a searchable directory of US businesses that DO NOT employ illegal immigrants. Business owners who care about America’s future can register their businesses, and consumers who want to take a stand against illegal immigration can do so by patronizing those businesses.
http://www.HireUSFirst.com will educate and empower concerned US consumers so that they can choose businesses that share their commitment to ending the problem of illegal immigration. If enough consumers take a stand by patronizing businesses that refuse to hire illegal immigrants, then it will effectively create a boycott of those that do, forcing them to rethink their hiring practices. And when there are no more jobs to lure them to this country, the tide of illegal immigration will finally begin to ebb.

The reason we don't have many businesses in the database is because we're just getting started. The site's been up for a few months, but until the WND article, we just couldn't get any press. Today, though, there's been a lot of traffic and we're starting to see businesses sign up. Hopefully it will balloon into something substantial and we'll be able to have an impact in the illegal immigration debate.
You'd be surprised how hard it is to get press when you're on this side of the issue. Even here in Denver, where the illegal alien situation is clearly out of hand, local media seems to have a leftists agenda. Anything to do with promoting illegal alien "rights" is newsworthy, but unless they can paint you as a right-wing fanatic, the other side is pretty much voiceless.
It's frustrating.
But there are a lot of people who are fed up with our government's inactivity on this issue, and who are willing--even eager--to do something about it.
So we'll see what happens.
