The illegal immigration issue didn't go away

I would like to know what happened to illegal immigration.

Apparently those who were striving to be elected to the office of President of the United States all agreed that it was too hot a subject, so they all seemed to act like it wasn't even there. Well, it is here and we are still going to have to face it.

I am wondering just how many Americans believe that illegal immigrants should get free health care. It is hard to understand why these people get free health care while citizens who paid taxes all their lives do not. Right now, military veterans' health care is being slashed.

Anyone who has been in the emergency room at the hospitals lately complain that they were stuck in line behind scores of illegals who use the emergency rooms as their personal medical facility. In some states, like California, pregnant illegal mothers get all their costs paid for. Prenatal care, delivery costs, even car seats and diapers. Many run across the borders in time to collect all these free benefits and deliver us another United States citizen.

The costs for all the benefits paid by you and me and the rest of America amounts to $384 billion dollars a year. California alone has seen nearly 100 hospitals close due to the fact that they have been unable to pay their bills because they get practically no payment for services to the illegal immigrants. How long are we supposed to pay this huge debt?

As a side note, according to judicial watch, illegal immigrants comprise fewer than 10 percent of the population in Maricopa County; however, they account for 20 percent of felony DUI sentences, 33 percent of drug sale arrests, 35 percent of kidnapping sentences, 44 percent of all forgery or fraud sentences, 85 percent of all criminal impersonation or false ID sentences, and a whopping 96 percent of human smuggling sentences.

I can't help but wonder how bad we need these people who shouldn't even be here.

We don't need the illegals at all! The corporate sector and political elites want them here. It's all about greed and corruption!

In one of my posts, I mentioned that I read that the American people paid out 383.3 Billion dollars in tax revenues to support illegals and by virute of the funds supplied, help their corporate bosses! This should enrage even the staunchest illegals (that are Americans that pay taxes) advocates. Especially, in this time of Depression our tax dollars are being thrown away and given to illegals aka criminal invaders.

The American people would gladly fill those jobs illegals hold, but employers dont want to pay minimum wage, taxes and benefits. They are more concerned about their profit margin and their fiscal condition that the tragic condition that they are ultimately leaving for their children to bear!
