ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION/FAILING ECONOMY
MORE OF THE SAME

What part of the direct correlation between illegal immigration and our failing economy do our leaders not understand?
They are complaining that Obama’s stimulus package will not put money back into the economy. But that’s not so different from what got us here in the first place.
Illegal immigration is a cost, a liability, rather than an asset to our education, healthcare, low income housing; legal and law enforcement and social service system. They use the system but they do not contribute to the system. They take money out and do not put money in. they are low wages earners and pay very little in taxes if any.
Illegal aliens made up the majority of construction worker in this country and when the construction business failed they lost their jobs (and 5 million defaulted on their home loans) but they are the only construction workers that are still working. I see them every day doing construction and road work.
They are not sending as much money ($25 billion they are still sending home is not petty cash and deeply affect our economy)
home to Mexico as the did during the lean years but they are still sending money earned in this country out of this country, going into Mexico’s economy (second largest economy after oil for Mexico) and not going back into our economy to keep it strong.
With another amnesty, they will be taking the infrastructure jobs (cheap labor) and will be sending even more money out of this country. Illegal aliens; most are low wage earners; will be taking more out of the system than they will be putting in; still sending money out of this country; collecting benefits for low wage earners; and not going back into our economy and resulting in a continued failed economy.
We will never correct our mistakes if we never recognize them. We do not recognize what illegal immigration is costing this country. (And I have not even talked about the victims of illegal immigration crime.)
Construction, road and bridge rebuilding, public buildings is not low paying jobs but still illegal aliens will do them for less. These were not the jobs American will not do, but still pro-illegal immigration advocates insist they are. Blacks were rebuilding New Orleans when they were replaced by the cheap labor or illegal aliens. There are no jobs that Americans will not do and have not done. That rhetoric is getting old.
Our leaders contribute to the hiring of cheap labor when the hire house keepers, nannies and people to groom their lawn.
Whose tax money is going into the stimulus package? American tax payers.
Who should benefit from the jobs created by the stimulus package? American taxpayers.

We voted for change and not more of the same.

On top of all this; we need to stop sending jobs to Mexico and giving Mexico billion to fight drugs and the drug problem, continues to grow in spite. They keep asking for more money and we keep giving them more.
We give billions to Pakistan to fight terrorist and terrorism continues to grow.
Businesses keep sending jobs out of this country because of cheap labor and we keep contributing by buying those cheap imports. There has got to be a message somewhere in all this.
