WHAT IF 20 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS VACATED AMERICA?

By Frosty Wooldridge
October 29, 2007
NewsWithViews.com

Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote a column titled, 'Mexican visitor's lament' -- 10/25/07.
She interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said, 'They (illegal aliens) pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes...what happens to your country's economy if 20 million people go away?'
That's a good question - it deserves an answer. Over 80 percent of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers may surprise you!

In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupted hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as Englsh became the dominate language again.

In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grand-kids - would move back 'home,' mostly to Mexico. That would save Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 BIL) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.
Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.
Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67 percent drop out/flunk out rate via thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado.
Denver's four percent unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.

In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America, the rule of law and English.

In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.

If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home,' the U.S. economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn't be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local state and city coffers.
No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must content with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.
We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country. In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the '18th Street Gang' would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!
Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens!

Drain on America's economy; taxpayers harmed, employers get rich
Over $80 billion annually wouldn't return to their home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America's economy - which currently suffers an $8.7 trillion debt.
At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupted out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act. Americans wouldn't suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country-brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.
Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities. It would also put the 'progressives' on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11 percent of our greenhouse gases.
Over one million of Mexico's poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California in what the New York Times called, "colonias" or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, electricity, roads or any kind of sanitation. The New York Times reported them to be America's new "Third World" inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonias. (I've seen them personally in Texas and Arizona; it's sickening beyond anything you can imagine.) By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico.

High integrity, ethical invitation
We invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico. We invite a million people into our country legally more than all other countries combined annually. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation
It's time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life.

Interesting Statistics
Just in case you missed this the last time around & believe those who say we need to have Illegal Aliens here to work at slave labor wages to help greedy businesses. Don't we have a minimum wage law?

If this doesn't bother you, then just delete the message. But, on the other hand, if it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, then forward it to every human in the country, including every representative in Washington, DC four times a week for a month.

not to mention that we could then take those that are on SSI and other gov't assistance that are NOT illegal and give them jobs doing this work. yeah I know one that is...............cant work but sure can make babies and not pay child support on them, since his ONLY income is SSI.

good post!
 
I would have to mow my own yard, but no problem.


LOL, I will come do it. Lets see, 14000.00 tractor, divide by, why bother, 65.00 on the hour by the meter, of course there is travel fee, trailer fee, diesel fee..........

the American way!
 
Can't believe there are people who actually believe all that you have posted, show just how stupid some americans are, you post all the bad they cause, why dont you list the good also and see how the scales of justice weigh out.................just a thought
 
Yea but, what about wage inflation and who would cook my steak at Appleby's? The more I think about this topic the more complicated it gets. However there is no question about what is right and wrong. All the illegals should be sent home or jailed because they are illegal.
 
O.K. you must be either really ignorant or not informed... answer the following, where were your grandparents from ? and there parents ? then I will give you somethings to think about, or a scenario or two, or if you read my bio you will understand, remember there are two sides of every coin.......

Well if you are talking to me, my grandparents or great grandparents came here legally. That was what I was trying to point out. People cannot be allowed to start a new life and step one is break the law. end of story.

My father was born in Russia, as were his parents and their parents, the parents before were born in Hungary and before that in Germany. That is not the point on where they were born, the point being is that they came to this country in a legal manner.

Growing up, the language in the house was a mixture of Russian, German and English. Back then there was no press 1 for English, 2 for German or 3 for Russian, there still is not. The point being is that you had to assimilate into society or be left out.

The problem with America today is that we have hordes of people crossing the border illegally, taking advantage of the programs which costs the American taxpayer billions of dollars.

It does not matter why they are here or how they came here, the point is that they are here without the benefit of legal access, the same access that my forefathers sought before they came here.

These people that are here illegally should be sought out and sent home. There is no question on how, why or where, send them home.
 
And what do we do to the American coyotes who exploit and traffic these people in to the U.S.A. against there will for slave labor and prostitution, do we charge them with kidnapping even though the crime originated in another country ???
 
Kick their selfish law-breaking asses back to Burrito Land! :batterUp: (not the hot chicks though)
Sushi quit thinking with the wrong head.:yum:

The law applies to all including the hot chicks, they should all be sent back to where they came from.

The next thing is the Burrito Land aspect of your attempt at humor. The people that are here are not only from south of the border, but the Caribbean, Central American, South American, Europe, the far East and all parts of the globe.

All people that are here illegally should be sent back to where they came from, irregardless of their color, sex, or in your case, the lack of, or whatever.

We should have special units, whose only reason in life is to hunt down these law breakers and send them home without the benefit of trial, hearing or any other benefit that our society now bestows upon them.
 
And what do we do to the American coyotes who exploit and traffic these people in to the U.S.A. against there will for slave labor and prostitution, do we charge them with kidnapping even though the crime originated in another country ???

They should indeed be thrown in jail.
 
I really dont get your argument Paul. Everyone who participates in an illegeal act is criminal. It was wrong not to enforce the laws for several years, but that makes it no less a crime to break the law.
 
And what do we do to the American coyotes who exploit and traffic these people in to the U.S.A. against there will for slave labor and prostitution, do we charge them with kidnapping even though the crime originated in another country ???

How do we charge someone with kidnapping when the people that are enslaved for whatever purpose came along on their own free will. Yes, if the people involve enslave the illegal immigrants, they should be prosecuted, however under the correct statutes.

In a lot of the instances the coyotes involved come from the other side of the border and are not just Americans.
 
At least you have a sense of humor.........

With spending 20k a year on health related insurance and the low payments by the insurance companies, which in a large part is caused by the huge number of illegal immigrants who do not pay their fair share of the health industry and spending an additional 26k on real estate taxes which would be a lot lower if not having to supplement these illegals and school their children you have to have a sense of humor.
 
The topic has a wider scope than I think I can get into with you guys, but it has been amusing, thats why this is America, land of opportunity, and risk...............
 
It's this frickin simple- they are ILLEGAL. WTF do you want to defend a criminal? They are the lowest of lowlifes. They know the law and break it every second they are here. Not just a fleeting second, like when somebody punches somebody out, no, every second of every day they are here. CRIMINALS. They don't respect our border, our laws, our culture. Leave. GTF out.

Here's the plan - have them go back to Mexico or wherever they came from, and come back when they take the time to do it legally. We welcome legal immigrants in America.
 
Typical red neck reply.............. you probobly go to the harbor in Manitowoc and yell fish ON !!! then hope you snag a fish and call it fishing...
 
Typical reply - call somebody names.

Sorry - you have stereotyped me and seem to have tendencies of a prejudiced person. You don't even know me, my background, education, lifestyle, etc, yet you lower yourself to calling me names.

Back to the question at hand - why do you defend criminals and try to justify their actions? Especially premeditated criminals. That break the law every second they are here.
 
O.K. you must be either really ignorant or not informed... answer the following, where were your grandparents from ? and there parents ? then I will give you somethings to think about, or a scenario or two, or if you read my bio you will understand, remember there are two sides of every coin.......

I'm a legal immigrant. You want to know the funny thing - my Grandmother was born in Brooklyn.

It took me two years of brain numbing bureaucratic pain to get my permanent residency. I have a Masters Degree from a US University and already had been in the US for 8 years on a variety of tech related work visas AND I was married to an American with an American daughter. As I was going through immigration court I got to see way too many illegals going through the system and got to see how the immigration judge bent over backwards to help these people while I had to pay a ton in lawyer fees to fight a bad case (I won - I guess if you don't consider the legal expense). No one at the USCIS/INS was bending over to help me. The agent assigned to me spoke worse english than I do.

They are illegal. Make them leave and go through the hoops like the rest of us. To ignore it is a disgrace.

Your bio lists "retired advogado" which appears to be some sort reference to being a lawyer. Unfortunately, that doesn't impress me much. The legal industry is a self feeding industry. I think all this illegal immigration stuff is a big cash cow for way too many lawyers.
 
The topic has a wider scope than I think I can get into with you guys,
Paul, welcome to the wild side of FF. There's more here than just Snowcats.:YesNo:

Folks, look around. I'm not going to defend illegal activity, that's indefensible. But there's a reason why government isn't moving to round up and deport the aliens. Our economy would collapse. No more vegetables. No more fruit. No more lodging industry. Gone. Nobody will do those jobs. Likewise roofing, cement, and the entire less-skilled half of the construction industry. Gone. I think some of you look at an alien and think leech but that's not the reality. The reality is that native born Americans won't do field work or make other peoples beds.

Bush knows this. That's why he tries to talk a hard line for political reasons while doing nothing to the employers, which would be the logical point to attack the problem. Different politicians may promise to 'get tough', to stay a jump ahead of the talk radio patriots. It's not going to happen. I haven't paid much attention to the amnesty proposals that recently fell apart, but I don't think we will see a compromise soon. I predict the status quo, ie continuing illegal immigration to fill needed jobs and a 'don't ask don't tell' position by the federal government, will continue indefinitely. There's no alternative.

There are many days that I cannot sell all of the vegetables that we produce. I have not had a problem finding people to work. If we could get the price up by employing people here that are legal, I could produce a decent living off of my crops.

I believe the real reason is called electioneering. Many politicians believe they will die at the polls if they offend anybody, legal or illegal.

Nobody works in the fields because of the money. So, the illegals leave, and gues what - farmers have to pay what the job is worth! How about that? And the reality is that the cost of veggies or fruits will not go up substantially - maybe 10 cents per pound max.

Same for maids, and any other low level job.

And most illegals aren't in the fields. Imagine 20,000,000 of any background working in the fields. Sorry - there ain't that many.

And guess what, you leave and you can actually come back legally if you are a law abiding person by heart and soul. Yup, it may take some work, but all good things take work.
