Here's the cold hard truth
There are a significant number of illegal immigrants in CA prisons. There are also large number of people in CA prisons who are the offspring of illegal immigrants. These are the "anchor babies" that illegals have that allow them to stay in the US. Fact: The majority of illegal immigrants are from Mexico by a huge margin. Fact: The majority of gang violence in LA are caused by Hispanic gangs many of whom are linked to to the Mexican Mafia which operate out of CA prisions.
If that's not enough here are more facts:
Illegal immigration costs LA county alone over a billion dollars a year in tax money to provide housing, welfare related items like food stamps, medical care (which is my so many hospitals have closed and thus endangering the lives of everyone else) education costs for anchor babies who have overcroweded the schools to an alarming rate and whose parents refuse to teach them English which automatically puts them at a disadvantage. This tax money should be spent on improving the the lives of everyone, not just the law breakers who bum rush the US and squat while living off the tax dollars of everyone else.
The rapid rise in illegal immigration is the cause for the rapid upswing in identity theft. It's not uncommon at all for illegal immigrants to have several phoney IDs and SS numbers in order to draw multiple unemployment and welfare checks.
Illegal immigrants destroy the neighborhoods they move into. Crime, grafitti, litter, housing violations (remember the story in New Jersey about the 60 illegal immigrants living in a two bedroom house? This is a common occurance) all take a dramatic upswing. Just ask anyone who used to live in LA 20 or 30 years ago before it became a suburb of Tijuanna.
Illegal immigrants drive down wages. Just ask those in the meat packing business who at one time used to earn about $15 an hour. Thanks to illegal immigration those wages have dropped to near minimum wage. Good for the business owners, bad for everyone else whose tax dollars have to make up for it. Just ask those in the construction business who also are having their wages get cut because illegal immigrants don't mind things like a living wage when they can live 60 to a house and get free medical care at the emergency rooms.
Illegal immigrants are responsible for for the upswing in once rare diseases like TB.
The bottom line is this: Illegal immigration has to be stopped NOW! If it doesn't just look at what's happened to LA and most of Southern CA and this is what the rest of the US will look like before long.
