Huge Corruption In Denver Re Illegal Immigrant Costs

Colorado employs, houses, feeds, educates and medically cares for an estimated 250,000 to 300,000 illegal aliens and their children. (Source:www.cairco.org) Why? Answer: elected officials at the state and federal levels refuse to enforce immigration work laws. That includes Governor John Hickenlooper, Senators Mark Udall, Michael Bennett and U.S. House members from Colorado. Therefore, illegal employers enjoy immunity from internal enforcement.

Colorado features several "Sanctuary Policy" cities whereby city councils such as Denver, Boulder and Colorado Springs have voted to give immunity from discovering "immigration status" when caught by police.

Many Coloradans have paid with their lives from illegal aliens being cut loose back into the general population after being stopped. The most famous recently involved Francis Hernandez. Police cut him loose 17 times until he killed two older women and a child at a Baskin-Robins ice cream parlor. Another illegal named Garcia Gomez, caught and released three times, executed Denver Officer Donald Young at a wedding party.

Another illegal named Ruizz ran over Justin Goodman. Police forensics caught him five months later with a two page rap sheet. He had been let go every time police arrested him until he killed Goodman.

MASSIVE FRAUD GOING ON IN COLORADO

It is a federal violation to house, transport or employ an illegal alien. Fines run from $2,000.00 per illegal hired and up to five years in prison for anyone employing illegal aliens. Nonetheless, because state and federal agencies will not enforce the laws, emboldened employers hire illegals. Unfortunately, those illegals create added costs to Colorado taxpayers.

Try a frying-pan crackling cost to Colorado taxpayers of $1.1 billion annually according to www.Cairco.org. The costs nationally run $346 billion annually across 15 federal agencies according to the Edwin Rubenstein report at www.TheSocialContract.com.

The costs accelerate when unlicensed drivers operate vehicles, get drunk and suffer accidents. Insurance rates rise for legal drivers.

Unemployment for Coloradans causes food stamp usage, welfare and lost tax revenue. Illegals send back billions of dollars in cash transfers which further bleed America's treasury. Their kids inundate Colorado schools as they use "free" breakfast and lunch programs, ESL programs and school supplies.

"Foreign inmates crowd [Colorado] prisons" by Kirk Mitchell, June 6, 2011, Denver Post journalist, depicts the gravity of the problem.

"Criminals find their way to Colorado prisons from Mongolia, Iraq, the Czech Republic, the Fiji Islands and 75 other nations," reported Mitchell.

"Those foreign inmates will likely be eligible for deportation as soon as their sentences are completesince 2005, the number of Colorado's foreign-born inmates has increased 51 percent to 1,953.in a 2010 letter to federal authorities, state Attorney General John Suthers decried the $58 million price tag for holding the prisoners in fiscal year 2008. It costs more than $30,000 a year to house each of the inmates."

"To receive less than full reimbursement for the use of state facilities to house illegal immigrants is an unacceptable, unfunded federal mandate," Suthers said.

While state lawmakers attempt to find ways to lighten the financial load, no one, not the Denver Post, not Governor John Hickenlooper, not the Colorado legislature will address the root causes of why illegal aliens continue to manifest throughout the workforce in Colorado.

The Denver Post knows about the massive fraud continuing in Colorado but never, ever investigates it. The four major TV stations will not pursue criminal complaints. Immigration, Customs and Enforcement officials (ICE) in Denver overlook roofing companies, fast food companies, restaurants, landscape, motels and construction companies that hire tens of thousands of illegal within Colorado.

BIG KOZY BROTHERHOOD OF CORRUPTION

Why and how do 300,000 illegal aliens continue living and working in Colorado for the past 20 years? Answer: big business, small business, corrupt business and dishonest leaders share the fault. Specific Coloradan citizens that own companies and profit by their illegality-cause and support massive illegal alien corruption. But taxpayers pay the subsidies.

"When looking at the overall cost of crime, keep in mind that there are some 1,873 illegal aliens currently in Colorado prisons for committing such crimes," said Peter Wagner of www.darksideofillegalimmigration.com "Using an average cost for rape, armed robbery, aggravated assault, and burglary, that puts the burdened costs of those 1,873 perpetrators at $454,638,909. And that doesn't count all the illegal alien criminals in the jails or the murders."

The Federation for American Immigration Reform, FAIR, recently published a report: The Costs of Illegal Immigration to Coloradans


"They used some slightly different numbers that puts the direct costs of illegal immigration on Colorado taxpayers at $1.1 BILLION a year," said Wagner. "Their report does not include the indirect and collateral costs. The report also details that the tax contributions of illegal aliens are nowhere near the costs."

This past month, Governor Hickenlooper cut $322 million out of educational funding for Colorado schools. With such enormous costs to Colorado's debt ridden financial situation, why wouldn't Hickenlooper, Senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennett stand up for the rule of law?

Why would Hickenlooper support the current sanctuary city policy of Denver, which he did while he served as mayor to Denver? Why would two U.S. Senators support the Dream Act that rewarded gross illegality, but they won't support law enforcement?

Why would so many elected officials side with and support 300,000 illegal aliens in Colorado?

Answer: follow the money! No matter how much harm continues with the illegal immigration predicament, a few people in high places make a lot of money.

Until enough Americans suffer financial ruin and the loss of their homes and jobs along with failing school systems, the corruption and fraud will continue in Colorado and across the nation. It's as American as apple pie.
