llegal aliens in the United States
Our illegal immigration counters are based on an estimated twenty million illegal aliens having been present in our nation as of January 1, **2004**.
You could easily double that to 40 million by 2009...

Welcome To The Dark Side Of Illegal Immigration
Most Americans are against illegal immigration, but I feel that the majority just don't know the dire situation that our country is in and the damage that illegal aliens are doing to the United States.
From the costs of education to traffic congestion to the impact of having a bilingual society, you'll find all of the facts here.
Begin with A Foreward From P.F. Wagner
A few interesting notes from the article:
- The lives of 12 U.S. citizens would be saved who otherwise would die a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens EACH DAY!!.
- Another 13 Americans would survive who are otherwise killed EACH DAY by uninsured drunk driving illegals.
- There would be no one to smuggle across our southern border the heroin, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines, which plague the United States, reducing the U.S. supply of methamphetamines that day, by 80%.
- Our hospital emergency rooms would not be flooded with everything from gunshot wounds, to anchor babies, to imported diseases, to hangnails, giving American citizens the day off from standing in line behind illegals.
- Eight American children would not suffer the horror as victims of sex crimes EACH DAY.
Are Congressman King's comments baseless rhetoric, hateful speech, or actual facts? The MSM (mainstream media) and proponents of illegal aliens consistently bombard us with reports of an individual
illegal alien that has done what most
legal immigrants do: work hard and succeed. However, what they rarely tell us about are any of the negative aspects of illegal immigration. This report will detail some of the dark, negative aspects of the impact of illegal aliens that you might not be aware of.
Let's start with a broad summary on how illegal immigration is or can affect you personally. Here are just
some of the negative side affects of illegal immigration:
- easy conduit for terrorists entering the USA
- massive escalation in crime
- surge in foreign national prisoners to support for years
- increases Balkanization of US
- increases multiculturalism/segregation/divisiveness instead of the American melting pot
- increases desire for Aztlan (reclaiming SW states for Mexico)
- increasing number of traffic accidents
- main contributor to surging US population
- dramatic impact on society and infrastructure, including education
- destruction of fragile ecosystems in American SW
- main cause of emergency rooms and hospitals closing as well as service cut backs
- introduction of third world diseases
- increased welfare costs
- massive costs to society – over and above contributions
In any case, the author of this report wants to make it perfectly clear:
very few Americans are against a reasonable amount of legal immigration, regardless of race, nationality or ethnicity, but most Americans are against any amount of illegal immigration, regardless of race, nationality or ethnicity.
It is further to be noted that the illegal aliens are not just a "Mexican" or "Hispanic" problem. It is only that most illegal aliens are currently from Mexico and the vast majority of illegal aliens are Hispanic.
Maybe with the exception of the Swedish Bikini Team, the majority of Americans would be against any people, regardless of race, nationality or ethnicity, being illegal aliens in the USA.
Prison/incarceration costs: *
2004*!!!!
It is worth noting that all the incarceration costs, some $5.6 billion in 2004, are ultimately paid for by the taxpayers
In any case, with 267,000 illegal aliens incarcerated, as of *
2003*, just the incarceration costs at $25,000 per inmate per year is **$6.7 BILLION**
per year. I'll take a wild guess that you didn't realize we were spending that much. Do you have any better ideas on what we could be spending $6.7 billion a year on rather than providing three meals a day and color TV to a bunch of illegal alien prisoners? While you think about that, here is anther one to ponder: how much money would we have saved since 1980 if there were still only 9,000 incarcerated illegal aliens rather than 267,000?
I could go on for a long time here. But *read* the article. It is old, but quite thorough.
You may just change your mind on the illegal problem that is draining this great country DRY..
Like it says, the number of Mexican/Hespanic Illegals is very high, due to the proximity of the boarder and Economics there..
This is Not a race issue, this is not an Immigrant issue (we are all Immigrants), including the American Indians (they just got here sooner, according to some experts)..
Yes its a problem, A big problem!!!!
that is costing us more then we can afford.
Solutions?????
Amnesty & Legalize them and so they can pay taxes, then slam the boarder closed??
One solution that I have read that makes sense and probably the only one that will work at all.....
You have to have your head in the sand to NOT know the issues and costs to the 'legal' citizens (who pay taxes) for the illegals in this country.. And it gets bigger every year.
I drove a truck for 7 years after I retired. Its not just Calif or the S/W states either. Its at least 49 states that I am aware of (Excluding only Hawaii, I havnt been there)...
Canada dont play around... Few and far between there.
Like I said, it will end..... The money is about gone.......
