Thread: SD Paper 'Anchor babies/welfare NOT a draw to illegals'

Here we go again, another op-ed on how Americans are lazy and how illegals only come here to work and never use welfare. And of course, they would never, ever, even in the slightest consider coming here illegally for the purpose of giving birth to babies on U.S. soil in order to get automatic citizenship. Give me a break. Of course no mention of the number of illegals clogging U.S. courts, jails and prisons. No mention of the numbers of hospitals bankrupted and closed due to treating uninsured illegals. No mention of the huge numbers of illegal alien born children overwhelming schools, not speaking a word of English burdening teachers and school districts and harming legal residents chance at a decent education. And of course no mention of the nearly $10 BILLION a year spent on services for illegals in CA alone.


From San Diego Union-Tribune:

Birth citizens

Avoid this detour in the immigration debate

It's understandable that many immigration restrictionists prefer to believe that one of the main reasons that people come to the United States without documents is to have "anchor babies" – little native-born citizens who then tether the illegal immigrant parents to this country and provide for public benefits.

Consider the alternatives. We could be honest with ourselves about the fact that the only "anchors" for illegal immigrants are what are commonly referred to as jobs, or the fact that there wouldn't be jobs for illegal immigrants if so many Americans weren't so eager to provide them. And we could admit that illegal immigrants don't really come here for freebies or handouts, and that – quite the contrary – they have a work ethic that puts to shame that of many native-born citizens.

What fun would that be? That requires that Americans accept their share of responsibility for the fact that we have a problem with illegal immigration in the first place, rather than simply chalk it up to the greed and deviousness of those who immigrate here.

It's easier to talk about denying citizenship to babies born to illegal immigrants on U.S. soil, as some in Congress now propose doing.

VIVA LA MIGRA!

In surveys made by lobbyists in the business of representing the interests of illegal aliens as to what they want the highest priority is getting taxpayer funded public benefits.

A major reason that only 5000 American immigrant visas a year are available to the unskilled and low skilled is that they do cost us more in benefits than they pay in taxes.

Thanks Richard for posting that important FACT!!

They cost more than their contribution in labor and their contribution in labor stole a job from an American.

IT'S A NO WIN ECONOMIC SCENARIO.

And that's why all the states are broke; the nation is broke; everyone is on edge; traitors are beng exposed by the second; the nation and people in total jeopardy---and yet they continue to Whine to Mooch.

NO MORE WHINING.

NO MORE MOOCHING.

Ya'll are going home and goin' to stay there.

We're determined.

the email addy at the top is the editorial person- let him know what a deluded open borders ------- he is !

Remind all these traitors that the Barbara Jordan Immigration Reform Comission recommended eliminating these 5000 low skilled green card slots. Not that they will ever print this, but just to show that we are on to them.

And remind them the more they withhold from their readers who are hungry for info on the subject, the more readers they will loose to alternative news sources.

RIGHT ON!!

When the media doesn't cover the issues of importance to the readers it loses both its credibility and relevancy.
