This is article explains why we have to gather all i******s up and ship them out. They don't belong here. We also need to give huge fines like $10,000 per illegal hired and a total minimum prison time of 10 years in prison for knowingly hiring i******s. Make it hurt for all businesses especially Chamber of Commerce members to hire i*****l a***ns.

America: From Super Power to Banana Republic

By Carole Hornsby Haynes

With a stroke of his pen, President Obama recently changed the future of Americans and of our nation – fundamentally t***sforming America from the greatest nation on earth to a future as a banana republic.

Robert Rector, Senior Research Fellow with the Heritage Foundation, stated that President Obama’s amnesty for four million i*****l i*******ts will cost Americans about $2 trillion -- approximately $40 billion per year -- over the next five decades.



If all i*****l i*******ts are granted amnesty, they would receive “.…$9.4 trillion in government benefits and services and pay $3.1 trillion in taxes…They would generate a lifetime fiscal deficit…of $6.3 trillion…This should be considered a minimum estimate.”

Once the wealthiest nation in the world, America has now become a welfare country. At the end of 2012 the U.S. Census Bureau reported out of a population of 309,467,000 there were 109,631,000 people living in households receiving federal welfare benefits. Yet there were only 103,087,000 full-time year-round workers in the United States with 16,606,000 of those being government employees.

America is a melting pot of immigrants who have brought rich heritages to our shores, become immersed in American culture, and worked hard to achieve the American dream.

Earlier immigrants assimilated and learned the customs and laws of their new land; learned English and worked hard to build a new and better life for themselves and their families; were fiercely independent and took responsibility for their own lives instead of seeking government handouts; were grateful for the unlimited opportunities available in America; and looked forward with great p***e to becoming American citizens.

Unlike these earlier immigrants who came to our shores for religious freedom, freedom from political oppression, or for jobs, we now have poorly educated, low-sk**l immigrants who have chosen to snub their noses at the U.S. i*********n l*ws and come in illegally to receive billions in U.S. entitlements now available.

Thousands of i*****l a***ns have held demonstrations to demand more handouts and threatened continued violence and shooting of police until their demands are met. Their signs have demanded “free” healthcare, houses, and food and jobs without taxes. Some signs even stated, “You owe us.”

Many are demanding that their Hispanic culture be preserved and that the U.S. change its national language from English.

They have denounced American capitalism. However, they have been open about coming to America for the wide range of freebies paid for by the U.S. taxpayer who have prospered under capitalism. These capitalism h**ers are certainly not low sk**led when it comes to knowing how to use the government entitlement system for maximum benefit.

Those freebies, according to the Heritage Foundation’s study in 2013, are costing Americans nearly $55 billion a year for the children and families of i*****l i*******ts.

Obama’s amnesty plan will expand the cost and provide Medicare, Medicaid, and tax benefits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Liberals conceal the t***h about the real cost of illegal and low-sk**l immigrants.

Lies, lies, and more lies:

· If an individual has a job and works diligently, he will pay more in taxes than he receives in benefits;

· Unlawful immigrants work more than other groups;

· The employment rate for non-elderly i*****l i*******ts nearly equals that of the general population;

· The comparatively young i******s (average age of 34) will relieve the financial burden of America’s graying population;

· Giving amnesty to i******s can help to make the Social Security system solvent; and

· The fiscal deficit of $6.3 trillion -- at a minimum -- created by i******s will be made up by their children.

Just the facts, ma’am:

· Poorly educated households – both immigrant and U.S. born – receive far more in government entitlements than they pay in taxes. The typical illegal has only a 10th-grade education.

· In 2010 the average i*****l i*******t household received about $24,721 in government entitlements yet paid only $10,334 in taxes. More benefits will come with amnesty.

· Yes i*****l i*******ts do pay FICA taxes and will not likely pay more after amnesty due to their income. But…during retirement they will draw more than $3 in Social Security and Medicare for every $1 they have paid in FICA taxes!

· Illegal and low-sk**l immigrant households always receive more in benefits than they pay in taxes.

I*****l i*********n appears to depress the wages of low-sk**l U.S. born and legal immigrants by 10% or $2,300 per year.
I*****l i*********n probably drives many of the most vulnerable U.S. born workers out of labor force altogether, making it more difficult for these to achieve the American dream.
· Only 13 percent are likely to graduate from college so usually do not become net tax contributors, remaining a fiscal burden on U.S. taxpayers.

· The estimated cost of benefits from Obamacare for previous i*****l i*******t households is $24 billion per year.

· The average household receives $31,584 in government entitlements and pays $30,426 in taxes

· Households headed by someone without a high school diploma receive $46,582 and pay $11,469 in taxes.

At the state level, the Federation for American Immigration Reform reported in The Fiscal Burden of I*****l I*********n on Texas that Texas spent $12.1 billion for i*****l a***ns in 2013.

This breaks down to a cost of $1,197 for each Texas household headed by a native born or naturalized citizen.

Advocates for amnesty argue that legal permanent residence has been earned because the unlawful immigrants have paid taxes.

This is an i***tic argument because these advocates have chosen to ignore the fact that i*****l i*******ts have paid only $1.27 billion in annual taxes, leaving Texas taxpayers on the hook for billions.

The breakdown of the $12.1 billion cost to Texans for i*****l a***ns is as follows:

education -- $8.5 billion;
healthcare -- $1.9 billion including the cost for anchor babies;
justice and law enforcement -- $1.1 billion;
public assistance -- $47.8 million; and
general government services -- $577 million.
The t***h about the fiscal cost of i*****l i*********n -- and the cost of amnesty -- is appalling and sends a clear message to American citizens.

We cannot even consider granting amnesty including back door amnesty to anyone, no matter how much advocates demand that it’s the only option we have or that it is the moral thing to do.

Neither will not granting amnesty to the 11.4 million i*****l a***ns solve our financial crisis.

These i******s have come to our nation and remained to seize our financial resources – American taxpayers be damned. I******s are fully aware that they are breaking our U.S. i*********n l*ws. They also know that this behavior is not tolerated by their own countries -- nor would their own countries permit the bullying for rights, citizenship, and entitlements that thousands of i*****l i*******ts have done in America.

The choice is clear. We must send 11.4 million i*****l i*******ts home! Several states have already been successful with encouraging i*****l a***ns to leave by denying benefits including job opportunities.

If we want to remain a strong prosperous nation that is a beacon for the rest of the world, we must follow a course of importing sk**led workers in those specified fields where we need them and limit drastically the number of low-sk**l immigrants.

If we continue on our current path, America is going to be irreversibly impoverished in its downward slide into the economy of a banana republic.

Amazing how much America has declined in six years, all by design. The liberals claim they are for the poor and down trodden yet they have no problem with taking in millions more when the resources for those people are finite. Makes no sense.

No one can deny the strain this immigration issue has put on the system. But this xenophobic propaganda is not going to help anything or anyone. The only affect it does seem to have is whipping the h**ers into a frenzy of fear and resentment.
So what practical suggestions do the "deport-them-all" crowd have for how to actually going about doing that?
At least they're not being as hypocritical and finally acknowledge that businesses who hire i******s are just as responsible for encouraging this mess.
One thing that is pure bs is that all of our problems began with Obama, which they clearly didn't. We've been on this trajectory for decades. These i***ts act like the world began in 2009.

Any state or city refusing to cooperate will lose all federal funds. Because we let this get out of hand it will be difficult. We do however have several models used during WWII and I believe Eisenhower deported thousands if not millions during his administration.
At least they're not being as hypocritical and finally acknowledge that businesses who hire i******s are just as responsible for encouraging this mess. I agree, with what you say in the line above. I would fine the business $10,000 for each illegal and if they have more than 10 hired and did not use everify, I would give them a minimum 10 year prison sentence. No mercy.
One thing that is pure bs is that all of our problems began with Obama, which they clearly didn't. We've been on this trajectory for decades. These i***ts act like the world began in 2009. I agree it did not start with Obama, Marxist/democrats along with Rino's and businesses have all together and separately worsened the problem. Obama's agenda to allow most potential Marist/democrat v**ers into the country and will cost the county plenty in the future. Obama is an usurper to the office and does not care about the welfare of this nation and his actions are undermining our culture and Constitution. That is why he wants amnesty for those already here. Cheap wages and diseases is all they bring here, one brings a decline in the overall health of the nation and the other brings a decline in wages for everyone. By the way many Mexican friends I have who have and are nationalized citizens feel the same as I feel.
No one can deny the strain this immigration issue ... (show quote)

This is article explains why we have to gather all i******s up and ship them out. They don't belong here. We also need to give huge fines like $10,000 per illegal hired and a total minimum prison time of 10 years in prison for knowingly hiring i******s. Make it hurt for all businesses especially Chamber of Commerce members to hire i*****l a***ns.

America: From Super Power to Banana Republic

By Carole Hornsby Haynes

With a stroke of his pen, President Obama recently changed the future of Americans and of our nation – fundamentally t***sforming America from the greatest nation on earth to a future as a banana republic.

Robert Rector, Senior Research Fellow with the Heritage Foundation, stated that President Obama’s amnesty for four million i*****l i*******ts will cost Americans about $2 trillion -- approximately $40 billion per year -- over the next five decades.



If all i*****l i*******ts are granted amnesty, they would receive “.…$9.4 trillion in government benefits and services and pay $3.1 trillion in taxes…They would generate a lifetime fiscal deficit…of $6.3 trillion…This should be considered a minimum estimate.”

Once the wealthiest nation in the world, America has now become a welfare country. At the end of 2012 the U.S. Census Bureau reported out of a population of 309,467,000 there were 109,631,000 people living in households receiving federal welfare benefits. Yet there were only 103,087,000 full-time year-round workers in the United States with 16,606,000 of those being government employees.

America is a melting pot of immigrants who have brought rich heritages to our shores, become immersed in American culture, and worked hard to achieve the American dream.

Earlier immigrants assimilated and learned the customs and laws of their new land; learned English and worked hard to build a new and better life for themselves and their families; were fiercely independent and took responsibility for their own lives instead of seeking government handouts; were grateful for the unlimited opportunities available in America; and looked forward with great p***e to becoming American citizens.

Unlike these earlier immigrants who came to our shores for religious freedom, freedom from political oppression, or for jobs, we now have poorly educated, low-sk**l immigrants who have chosen to snub their noses at the U.S. i*********n l*ws and come in illegally to receive billions in U.S. entitlements now available.

Thousands of i*****l a***ns have held demonstrations to demand more handouts and threatened continued violence and shooting of police until their demands are met. Their signs have demanded “free” healthcare, houses, and food and jobs without taxes. Some signs even stated, “You owe us.”

Many are demanding that their Hispanic culture be preserved and that the U.S. change its national language from English.

They have denounced American capitalism. However, they have been open about coming to America for the wide range of freebies paid for by the U.S. taxpayer who have prospered under capitalism. These capitalism h**ers are certainly not low sk**led when it comes to knowing how to use the government entitlement system for maximum benefit.

Those freebies, according to the Heritage Foundation’s study in 2013, are costing Americans nearly $55 billion a year for the children and families of i*****l i*******ts.

Obama’s amnesty plan will expand the cost and provide Medicare, Medicaid, and tax benefits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Liberals conceal the t***h about the real cost of illegal and low-sk**l immigrants.

Lies, lies, and more lies:

· If an individual has a job and works diligently, he will pay more in taxes than he receives in benefits;

· Unlawful immigrants work more than other groups;

· The employment rate for non-elderly i*****l i*******ts nearly equals that of the general population;

· The comparatively young i******s (average age of 34) will relieve the financial burden of America’s graying population;

· Giving amnesty to i******s can help to make the Social Security system solvent; and

· The fiscal deficit of $6.3 trillion -- at a minimum -- created by i******s will be made up by their children.

Just the facts, ma’am:

· Poorly educated households – both immigrant and U.S. born – receive far more in government entitlements than they pay in taxes. The typical illegal has only a 10th-grade education.

· In 2010 the average i*****l i*******t household received about $24,721 in government entitlements yet paid only $10,334 in taxes. More benefits will come with amnesty.

· Yes i*****l i*******ts do pay FICA taxes and will not likely pay more after amnesty due to their income. But…during retirement they will draw more than $3 in Social Security and Medicare for every $1 they have paid in FICA taxes!

· Illegal and low-sk**l immigrant households always receive more in benefits than they pay in taxes.

I*****l i*********n appears to depress the wages of low-sk**l U.S. born and legal immigrants by 10% or $2,300 per year.
I*****l i*********n probably drives many of the most vulnerable U.S. born workers out of labor force altogether, making it more difficult for these to achieve the American dream.
· Only 13 percent are likely to graduate from college so usually do not become net tax contributors, remaining a fiscal burden on U.S. taxpayers.

· The estimated cost of benefits from Obamacare for previous i*****l i*******t households is $24 billion per year.

· The average household receives $31,584 in government entitlements and pays $30,426 in taxes

· Households headed by someone without a high school diploma receive $46,582 and pay $11,469 in taxes.

At the state level, the Federation for American Immigration Reform reported in The Fiscal Burden of I*****l I*********n on Texas that Texas spent $12.1 billion for i*****l a***ns in 2013.

This breaks down to a cost of $1,197 for each Texas household headed by a native born or naturalized citizen.

Advocates for amnesty argue that legal permanent residence has been earned because the unlawful immigrants have paid taxes.

This is an i***tic argument because these advocates have chosen to ignore the fact that i*****l i*******ts have paid only $1.27 billion in annual taxes, leaving Texas taxpayers on the hook for billions.

The breakdown of the $12.1 billion cost to Texans for i*****l a***ns is as follows:

education -- $8.5 billion;
healthcare -- $1.9 billion including the cost for anchor babies;
justice and law enforcement -- $1.1 billion;
public assistance -- $47.8 million; and
general government services -- $577 million.
The t***h about the fiscal cost of i*****l i*********n -- and the cost of amnesty -- is appalling and sends a clear message to American citizens.

We cannot even consider granting amnesty including back door amnesty to anyone, no matter how much advocates demand that it’s the only option we have or that it is the moral thing to do.

Neither will not granting amnesty to the 11.4 million i*****l a***ns solve our financial crisis.

These i******s have come to our nation and remained to seize our financial resources – American taxpayers be damned. I******s are fully aware that they are breaking our U.S. i*********n l*ws. They also know that this behavior is not tolerated by their own countries -- nor would their own countries permit the bullying for rights, citizenship, and entitlements that thousands of i*****l i*******ts have done in America.

The choice is clear. We must send 11.4 million i*****l i*******ts home! Several states have already been successful with encouraging i*****l a***ns to leave by denying benefits including job opportunities.

If we want to remain a strong prosperous nation that is a beacon for the rest of the world, we must follow a course of importing sk**led workers in those specified fields where we need them and limit drastically the number of low-sk**l immigrants.

If we continue on our current path, America is going to be irreversibly impoverished in its downward slide into the economy of a banana republic.

I have to quote Putin again about debating with [Obama] or, actually any liberal progressive; "it's like playing chess with a pigeon; [it] knocks down all the pieces, craps all over the board, then struts around like [it] won the game!!!" To believe anything is going to be accomplished by this unconstitutional assault on America is to believe the pigeon actually won the game!!!
