SOme of you simply don't understand what illegal immigration does to this country

reply to post by DrJay1975


Why can't America impose these Mexican immigration standards to those seeking to come here.

Here's a list of people eligible to seek permanent residency and/ or citizenship in Mexico:

Examples of the kinds of people who might apply for FM2 visas:


Retirees
If you are over 50 years of age and want to engage in "non-remunerative activities" and you are receiving funds from abroad (from a pension or other investments or fixed income) you can apply for a Retiree Immigration Permit. Read more about Retirement in Mexico on Mexperience.

Investors
You can receive an immigration permit if you are willing to invest your capital in Mexico. You investment can be directed at industry or services, and must equal a minimum set amount—check with an immigration lawyer for the latest investment levels required for this visa.

Professionals
If you are a qualified professional, you can have your certificates validated by the Mexican Consulate in your home country and apply for an immigration visa to live in Mexico and seek permanent residence.

Technical or Scientific Professions
If you are a qualified technician or scientist, Mexico offers a category of visa which enables you to live and work in Mexico under sponsorship from a foreign company. For example, if the company wants to open an office or factory in Mexico, a person or persons representing that company may enter Mexico to manage the commercial operations on a long term basis.

Artists and Sports People
Artists or sports people who seek long term permanent residency in Mexico may apply for a FM2 visa. Each case is considered individually and entry is at the Interior Ministry's discretion.

Mexperience


If you don't already have money or the skills needed to support yourself, they don't want you there.

Common sense policy; We can't have any of that here in the US right?

Who ever heard of an American politician with common sense?

The Human Katrina......


ANCHOR BABIES AWAY: ENORMOUS COST OF JACKPOT BABIES TO TAXPAYERS


Illegal immigration costs, overall, $346 billion annually, according to economist Edwin Rubenstein at the ESR Economic Research Consultants and published at: www.thesocialcontract.com

Estimates show 300,000 to 350,000 illegal alien women stream into the United States annually to birth their babies upon American soil. Known as “anchor babies” or “jackpot babies”, the average cost of a normal delivery to U.S. taxpayers runs $6,000 to $8,000. However, if the child suffers from a birth defect such as mio-cardial septal defect, Downs Syndrome, autism or AIDS, etc., the costs run into the millions for taxpayers. Additionally, those babies must be educated at taxpayer expense at $8,000 per year for 13 years K-12.

Their parents never pay enough in taxes because they work as such low wages and half of them work off the books. Thus, according to “Breaking the Piggy Bank: how illegal aliens keep American schools in the red” a study by www.fairus.org , anchor babies cost U.S. taxpayers $7.4 billion annually. That does not include medical care costs that also run into the billions. Finally, more often than most realize, those anchor babies end up in our prisons at a cost of $2 billion annually to house, feed and medically care for them. Illegal criminal aliens consist of 29 percent of our prison populations. (Source: www.cis.org)

Finally, Rep. Nathan Deal (R-Ga.) introduced H.R. 1868, the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009. H.R. 1868 would end the process of granting automatic birthright citizenship to the babies born in the United States to illegal aliens.

“Referred to as "anchor babies," these children born in the United States are one of the most prominent factors of excessive population expansion and illegal immigration,” said Roy Beck of www.numbersusa.com . “In its Spring 2005 edition, the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons reported that "between 300,000 and 350,000 anchor babies annually become citizens… In 2003 in Stockton, California, 70 percent of the 2,300 babies born in San Joaquin General Hospital's maternity ward were anchor babies…"

He continued, “These staggering figures tell only part of the story. Birthright citizenship incentivices illegal immigration by making anchor babies eligible to sponsor their illegal alien mothers and other relatives once they turn 21. In addition, at present, there is no formal policy that forbids DHS from deporting the illegal alien parents of a child born in the U.S. Yet in most cases, immigration officials habitually choose not to initiate removal proceedings, allowing the parents to remain in the U.S. illegally. Perhaps most starkly, anchor babies additionally draw benefits and services from taxpayer dollars. As the Journal article notes, "Anchor babies are citizens, and instantly qualify for public welfare aid…In 1994, 74,987 anchor babies in California hospital maternity units cost $215 million and constituted 36 percent of all Medi-Cal births. Now they account for substantially more than half." Not only can the baby serve as an "anchor" to pull a large number of extended family members into the country, but they also can rely on the public services and benefits of the United States.”

Clearly, the United States must move to stop “Jackpot babies” not only from an overload of our hospital and financial welfare systems, but from a standpoint of adding another 100 million people to this country in the next 30 years.

Not only will the USA be broken financially, but hyper-population overload will result in environmental degradation, energy crises, water shortages and degradation of quality of life for all Americans of every race, creed and color.

At some point, third world countries such as Mexico must take responsibility for their citizens. This growing “human Katrina” and “human crisis” must be solved at the personal level. Illegal aliens must take personal responsibility for their actions and be personally accountable for caring and affording their children. It’s not up to the U.S. taxpayer to carry the load while U.S. businesses reap a profit from this 21st century slave labor—that produces more babies than it or we can afford.

I hear you. First it was the pompous Englishmen. Then came the slant-eyed Chinese and the dirty Irishmen. After that it was the good for nothing Italians and the Jews. Today it is the damn Latinos. This country would be a lot better off if they had all stayed home and left this land to the native americans.

People like you make me sick. Don't you realize that this country is made up completely of immigrants. For sure, somewhere in you family tree is an immigrant that came to the US to make a better life for themselves and for their descendants. Lucky for you there wasn't some ignorant bigot waiting for them with a club when YOUR ancestors got off the boat. America is the land of the free where opportunity abounds. The day this is no longer true, immigration will cease to occur. I bet you can't wait.

Actually those things are needed to be allowed into the states. That is the reason many enter illegaly. If they filed paperwork they would be denied anyway so why even bother.

Thank you for those statistics. The cost burden of illegals in this country is something that should cause EXTREME OUTRAGE to every real American who reads this.

Something MUST BE DONE about this NONSENSE, or we as a country are in DEEP trouble.

DEEP TROUBLE!!!!!!!!!

You make me laugh with some of the false false information you post. Least you could do is verify what you post.


You try to bring all this cost factor in about illegals while ignoring the fact that the US has a 13 trillion dollar debt.

Did an illegal vote himself a payraise?
Did an illegal hire himself?
Did an illegal spend billions for a jet?
Did an illegal give billions to failing banks?
Did illegals sell out Congress to lobbyist?
Did illegals start a trillion dollar wars?


I have no doubt you will continue to feed the hysteria of blaming illegals when you should be blaming yourself and the people around you for being so stupid to elect officials who have led us to this current mess we find ourselves in.



Furthermore, for your information, those jackpot-Anchor babies are Americans.

Of course, it is obvious you just like to spill trash out of your mouth,.

So support their ability to work and you are supporting the voluntary enslavement of 30 millon people. Support amnesty and you support them losing their jobs and becoming employees of the state welfare system. So pull your heads out of your collective behinds and realize what this problem actually does. There is only one way to fix this problem. Identify them and deport them.

Wrong! You need to identify the people employing them and make sure it becomes uneconomic for them to ever do it again.

You are targetting the symptom (illegal alien) rather than the cause (demand for cheap labour).

I can't understand why the cost of illegals cause extreme outrage

while the cost of two wars, donations to the banking cartels, and a freaking 13 trillion dollar debt is accepted as common event.

:shk:

Did an illegal become president? Yes.

Did an illegal fly an airplaine into a building in New York City? Yes.

Do illegals kill American service people? Yes.

How much are you worth in dollars? Not much. You are an ideologue jealous of successful people.

Did you ever have a billion to support illegals or anything else? No. Not even close.

Did you ever have a million have a million to support illegals or anything else? No. Still not close.

Why not? Never mind. We really know why and we don't want to hear any more.

But are you expecting someone else to foot the bill for illegals you can't foot? Yes.

If I write something about the 14th Amendment, will you understand? No. You are a Marxist and you want to fill the country up with other poor Marxists like you.

Does Communism thrive off the poor while Capitalism rewards the successful? But, of course. Which is why you are a Marxist.


Interpreting the 14th Amendment

According to the Constitution's 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868 to ensure citizenship for the newly emancipated African Americans, "all persons, born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States." The phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was intended to exclude from automatic citizenship American-born persons whose allegiance to the United States was incomplete. For example, Native Americans were excluded from American citizenship because of their tribal jurisdiction. Also not subject to American jurisdiction were foreign visitors, ambassadors, consuls, and their babies born here. In the case of illegal aliens, their native country has a claim of allegiance on the child. Therefore, some Constitutional scholars argue that the completeness of the allegiance to the United States is impaired and logically precludes automatic citizenship. However, this issue has never been directly decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.


The Price We Pay

The nation's school system faces the economic burden of providing services to the millions of children born to illegal immigrants. In a 2004 United States General Accounting Office report, three states submitted their annual cost estimates of educating illegal children. The estimates provided ranged from 50 million dollars to 87.5 million in Pennsylvania and 932 million to 1.04 billion dollars in Texas.

FAIR estimates there are currently more than 425,000 children born to illegal aliens each year. This figure is based on the crude birth rate of the total foreign-born population (33 births per 1000) and the size of the illegal alien population (13 million in 2008). In 1994, California paid for 74,987 deliveries to illegal alien mothers, at a total cost of $215.2 million (an average of $2,842 per delivery). Illegal alien mothers accounted for 36 percent of all Medi-Cal funded births in California that year and now count substantially more than half.
