Estimates are that there may be 12,000,000 Mexican illegals in the US. Many of whom working under the table for cash.
If each worker sends $100 per month back to Mexico, the influx of additional cash certainly has a measurable impact on the Mexican economy. Why would President Fox want that kind of FREE cash to stop flowing into his country? What a great way for the US to sneak aid into the Mexican economy.
The 12,000,000 Mexican illegals who are in the US sucking our economy, contributing an estimated $25 per year per person back into our US treasury, would bankrupt Mexico if they were all returned.
Jack Martin recently released his study on the problem of illegals in the US and the overall economic impact they have on our economy and on individual states. He estimates that the drain on the California economy is nearly $10Billion per year, or twice the estimates given on a popular LA based radio show last week.
Our country could agree to send Mexico a few extra $Billion each year if Fox would take all of his citizens home. Mexico would be economically better off, and the US would get rid of a huge problem and realize a significant savings to the tax payers.
The fact that this is an election year provides the average American a more strident opportunity to insist that every candidate seeking election or re-election will commit to taking a strong position on this issue. And if after they are elected any one of them rescinds their campaign promise, they should be Gray Davis(ed) and be immediately recalled.
Never before in the history of this great nation have the citizens held the absolute power to dictate their will as exists today in large part because of the Internet.
We the people must JUST SAY NO to amnesty, JUST SAY NO to soft border controls and JUST SAY YES to increasing the sweeps within our borders and JUST SAY YES to enforcing the laws regarding employers who hire illegals.
Bib Ladin is old news, Iraq is old news, Ken Lay is old news. Immigration and illegal immigrants is the single most important issue facing every American from 2004 forward. Lady Liberty is being raped and pillaged by the millions of economy suckers who are here without permission. It is time for each of us to stand up and make sure that every elected official in this country understands that we will NOT vote for anyone who is not in step with enforcing all of the existing immigration laws.
Keep the focus on this issue, your efforts will make the difference.
