Indiana cannot absorb more immigrants
March 6, 2007


Gov. Daniels recently sent Indiana National Guard troops as part of President Bush's plan to secure our Southern border. A large majority of Americans wanted our borders secured years ago and it's finally taking place. With more than 80 percent of illegal drugs and about 50 percent of illegal immigrants pouring across the border, I often wondered what would it take to stop this illegal invasion?
As the number of illegal immigrants begins to dwindle, the calls for a guest-worker program begin to grow louder especially since the presidential election draws nearer. What I would like to know from any politician is, how many immigrants are you going to allow into America with this guest-worker program and when will we have enough?
According to the 2005 yearbook of immigration statistics, America took in 1.1 million legal immigrants in 2005. What most Americans won't hear from our politicians is that we have a temporary worker program already in place and it doesn't work. Fifty percent of our illegal immigrant problem comes from immigrants legally allowed in our country who overstay their visas. With many categories of temporary work visas, we have an additional 2 million people added to America yearly.
It's estimated by the border patrol that for every one illegal immigrant they catch, three will get past them, and with 1.29 million illegal immigrants apprehended in 2005 that would mean 3.87 million or so entered America illegally. With more than 5 million legal and illegal immigrants entering America yearly, I wonder how long we can absorb that many people without major problems. Part of what Daniels has done will help, but what Indiana needs is to enforce our immigration laws on the state level.

No state can afford to absorb more illegals. It is a matter that the american people cannot afford the cost nor the violence. We need the border secured so that our police will be able to go back and focus on criminals committed by americans instead of illegals.

As the number of illegal immigrants begins to dwindle

I don't understand this statement. So just when did Illegals start to dwindle. Did I miss something. Oh they must have deported 20 yesterday.

this is staging, i think it was jorge in the state of the union stated we need to first secure the borders then look into a path to citizenship for those here. anyway, once again smoke & mirrors time, like jorge repeat something enough and the American people will eventually believe it.. like there are only 12 millon illegals here and the number hasn't gone up at all!! amazing!

From what I see no-one can afford more illegals. How many more drug dealers and brothels and runners do we need?

One thing that bothers me and I can not figure out....just what do
kennedy, mcain and the rest of the traitors get out of helping to destroy our country?

I know it brings them immediate wealth from their corporate handlers, but in the long term? Do they not care what they leave behind on the great day they leave this world?

That bothers me too. We get all the blah, blah, work Americans won't do, nation of immigrants, blah, blah, but never does anybody explain why we're turning our land into living hell. Maybe there isn't enough treachery in me to understand. Some of these guys have children and grandchildren. How do they not care? How could you want your grandchildren to grow up in a bi-polar nation of depressed Americans no longer enjoying liberty, and a gang of third world socialist anarchists for whom anything goes?
