Thread: A Message for Felipe Calderon: Keep Mexico's Garbage in Mexi

The 38 million illegal aliens comes from the high range of a study conducted and published by CAPS (Californians for Population Stabilization). Listed below is their abbreviated FACT SHEET:

Illegal Immigration Facts
-There are an estimated 20 to 38 million illegal aliens currently residing in our country.
-All of the 9/11 hijackers were in the United States legally, having entered on temporary visas.
-California is home to at least 5 million of those illegal aliens.
-Illegal immigrants who take low-paying jobs don't pay enough in income taxes, if they pay at all, to reimburse taxpayers the $5,000/per student annual cost of educating their children.
-Illegal immigration costs the taxpayers of California $10.5 billion a year for education, health care, and incarceration.
Illegal aliens constitute 15 percent of our state’s school population.
-Between 1993 and 2003, 60 California hospitals were forced to close from the financial burden of providing free health care for uninsured illegal aliens.
-Illegal immigrants who enroll in the University of California system are charged in-state tuition.
-Each year the Border Patrol makes more than a million apprehensions of persons unlawfully crossing U.S. borders to work and to receive public assistance, often with the aid of fraudulent documents. Such entry is a misdemeanor, and if repeated becomes punishable as a felony.
-Illegal aliens from Central America have been allowed to remain in the United States so long that their homelands have grown dependent on the billions of dollars a year they send home in remittances.
-300,000 people who have been ordered deported are still in the country because their deportation orders were not enforced.
-Census Bureau estimates say 115,000 people from terrorist-sponsoring Middle Eastern nations live in the United States illegally.
-Some illegal aliens from terrorist nations pay as much as $50,000 each to be smuggled into our country.
-Approximately one-third of all foreign-born U.S. residents are illegal aliens.
-Over half of all Mexicans living in the United States are here illegally.
-In the last decade, 80 to 85 percent of the flow of Mexican immigrants has been illegal.
-A strategy of attrition through enforcement could reduce the illegal population by as many as 1.5 million illegal aliens each year. Currently about 183,000 illegal aliens per year depart without the intervention of immigration officials, according to DHS statistics.
