Cost to U.S. of Illegal Aliens

I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. I now find that to be RIDICULOUS. I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again
until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them. I have included the URL's for verification of all the following facts.

1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year by state governments.

The total cost is a whopping $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. Are we THAT stupid?

I would say --- YES!

Theres a very easy and cost efective way to handle the problem. Arrest any and all company executives hireing Illegal aliens. Fine them once heavily for first offense. Take away they're bizness license for second offense. They will go home on they're own if theres no job to come to. Problem would solve itself. Its already starting to happen in some states with such laws being passed recently. Other states are crying foul because many are just imigrating to states that don't have those laws. Make it national and federal and we'd see results very quickly. NO, I'M NOT BEING RACIST, I'M BEING PRACTICAL!!! I'm not singling out any one ethnic group, only "ILLEGAL" aliens. We should exempt any from the other planets and solar systems though. Don't want to tick off the neighbors!!

EDIT: There are thousands of skilled folks waiting years to get here legaly. We need them. We don't need illegals.

Another good place to find articles about statistics & impact resulting from uncontrolled immigration (I prefer to call it for what it is, a civilian invasion) is Numbers USA. For example:

Source: Birthright Citizenship

The United States currently grants automatic U.S. citizenship to almost all children born in the United States, regardless of whether the parents are U.S. citizens, legal residents, temporary visitors, or illegal aliens in the United States. Some 380,000 children are born in the United States each year to illegal-alien mothers, according to U.S. Census data. The only exceptions to this automatic granting of citizenship are the children of foreign diplomats...

...The children born in the United States to illegal-alien mothers are often referred to as "anchor babies." Under current practice, these children are U.S. citizens at birth, simply because they were born on U.S. soil...

...A serious and scholarly debate has been on-going for years about whether illegal aliens (and temporary visitors) are, in fact, "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States...

...Other scholars look to the legal traditions observed by most courts, including the presumption that all words used in a legislation are intended to have meaning (i.e., not simply be restatements) and that, if the meaning of a word or phrase is unclear or ambiguous, the congressional debate over the legislation may indicate the authors' intent...

...so they have looked to the original Senate debate over the Fourteenth Amendment to determine its meaning. They conclude that the authors of the Fourteenth Amendment did NOT want to grant citizenship to every person who happened to be born on U.S. soil.

In short, the practice of the "Anchor Baby Policy" has always been incorrect & all such non-citizen births are considered to be of the same nationality as the parents; Illegal parents cannot give birth to a legal Citizen.
