| A Modern Liberal Response to Illegal Immigration | | 2008-07-01 08:00:00 | | Today we examine a typical modern liberal response to illegal immigration. This particular response is from U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif) when written about the illegal immigration problem facing our country. After thanking the writer for sharing their concerns regarding the impact of illegal immigration on our economy and acknowledging that "the high number of undocumented immigrants contributes to the strains on our schools, medical facilities, and prisons," several arguments are asserted. Let's take them in order. 1. Illegal immigrants "contribute significantly to our economy."Our Response: California’s budget shortage might approximate the cost of illegal immigration to the state. In 2007, Philip J. Romero updated his earlier study for the Governor’s office estimating that illegal aliens in California now receive somewhere between $9.6 and $38.2 billion more in state services than they pay in state taxes.

| | Human Rights Cartoon (86): Illegal Immigration | | 2008-05-26 14:41:00 | | (copyright http://www.coxandforkum.com/)
The concept of “illegal alien” is meaningless. A person can never be illegal, only certain acts can be. I suspect that the use of this concept betrays certain prejudices and perhaps even racism.
Of course, people settling in a country without this country’s permission act illegally and commit a crime. I wouldn’t go as far [...] | | By: PAP Blog | | |

| NAFTA to blame for rise in illegal immigration | | 2008-05-01 14:48:06 | | Remember those activity books we had when we were kids where you'd have to connect the dots for the picture to take shape? If we connected the dots named NAFTA, illegal immigration, globalization, recession, job loss, environmental degradation and corporate greed, what would the picture look like? We're living in that picture but we have barely begun to connect the forces affecting us.In 1995 2.5 million Mexicans were in the country illegally; by 2006, another 8 million had crossed the border. A major part of the blame has to go to the North American Free Trade Agreement. Why? Because more and more Mexicans can no longer make a living in Mexico!NAFTA, by permitting heavily-subsidized US corn and other agri-business products to compete with small Mexican farmers, has driven the Mexican farmer off the land due to low-priced imports of US corn and other agricultural products. Some 2 million Mexicans have been forced out of agriculture, and many of those that remain are living in des | | By: Michaelann Land | | |

| Republicans: next problem illegal immigration | | 2007-12-10 08:32:00 | | Republican presidential candidates stuck to their tough line against illegal immigration at a Spanish-language debate on Sunday, a stance that could spell trouble for them with Hispanic voters in next year's election. Hispanic-Americans had backed President George W. Bush's plan to grant illegal immigrants a pathway to citizenship and watched in dismay as conservatives torpedoed it last summer. | | By: News Alert | | |
| | Illegal Immigration and Border Security, by US Rep. Ron Paul | | 2007-12-02 00:00:00 | | Illegal immigration is on the forefront of many Americans’ minds lately and with good reason. The Center for Immigration Studies has recently reported that our immigrant population is now 37 million, up from 27 million in 1997. 1 in 3 of these immigrants are here illegally. We have a problem that has exploded in the last 10 years with no appreciable change in border security since September 11 when we were supposed to take a hard look at the problem.
We have security issues at home and our resources are running thin. Our education system is stretched, and immigration accounts for virtually all the national increase in public school enrollment in the last 2 decades. There is a worker present in 78% of immigrant households using at least one major welfare program, according to the same study. It’s no surprise then that often times these immigrants can afford to work for lower wages. They are subsidized by our government to do so.

| | Illegal Immigration explained | | 2007-07-01 13:17:00 | | Although somewhat a parody, illegal immigration is very simply explained in this video.Illegal immigration itself is not a parody; however, but rather a dangerous break of trust between a person and a country as they illegally cross that country's national border(s).Truthfully there are many dissimilarities between ancient Rome and modern America; however, there are some similarities. For example, both are/were overrun with legal and illegal immigrants.In the case of Rome they consisted of the Visigoths, Franks, Anglos, Saxons, Ostrogoths, Burgundians, Lombards, Jutes and Vandals. These people first appeared to assimilate.. working jobs the freedmen (liberti) and (cives) didn't wish to do but their numbers increased so fast they never really assimilated.Interestingly, this occurred in a time when Rome's Legions were strained fighting conflicts in distant areas, their trade deficit was growing, Attila the Hun was committing terrorist attacks, the city of Rome was on welfare with citizen | | By: The Paleo Conservatist | | |
| | 4 Plans That WON'T Fix Illegal Immigration | | 2007-05-02 00:34:00 | | While Congress debates the best way to solve illegal immigration, blogs around the Internet are trying to find ways that will work. Illegal immigration is wrong. It has to be stopped, but there are some ideas that will not work.1. End ALL immigration for five yearsEnding immigration for even five years would be disastrous for the country. They say there is a brain drain in Iraq because of the violence, but imagine how bad it would be here. Not allowing any new minds to enter the U.S. is one of worst things you could do to the economy, especially with China and India on the rise.2. Send the military to the border to stop the immigrants“Let's put soldiers on the border to stop the illegals.” Sounds like a good idea, right? It's not. The army is stretched thin. We can barely get enough soldiers to Iraq. Even sending the National Guard wouldn't be right.3. English only policies, ballots, and schoolsEnglish only policies would only alienate illegal immigrants and not encourage them t | | By: Thoughts on the World | | |
| | Illegal Immigration starts with Economics | | 2006-12-08 02:13:00 | | Once upon a time, in a not-so-far off land called North America, there were two neighboring cities. Usa and Mex were their names, and the river Immigration ran strong through them. The native citizens of Usa did not like this river running through their town; they even have an ordinance against rivers running through the city, but because of many different complicated reasons, this ordinance wasn’t enforced. Mex was happy just to have all of that water out of their town because it wasn’t doing any good there. The council of Usa decided something had to be done. They came up with a plan. They convinced Mex to build a dam in the river to block most of Immigration River. In exchange, Mex would get a wheel from the town of Usa that would provide hydroelectric power. To finish the job, Usa would build another dam on the edge of Usa to stop the trickle of Immigration River that could get through Mex’s dam. Everyone lived happily ever after.Sound familiar? It should. This represents the | | By: Thoughts on the World | | |
