Thread: Illegal Immigration: Myths and Half-truths (Email)

  1. #1
    NOTALENT
    Now in an effort to help you bring greater clarity and
    understanding to the border crisis we attempt to dispel some of
    the half-truths and outright lies that are being told the American
    people regarding illegal immigration.
    ++Myth #1--Illegal aliens pay taxes that benefit our economy
    Not true. Most illegals are paid in cash and therefore pay no taxes.
    Even in instances where they do pay taxes (only possible if they
    use a fraudulent social security number or tax ID) they don't pay
    enough to cover their expenses.
    A visit to any L.A. County maternity ward will give you ample
    proof of this. There thousands of women each year have babies
    free of charge (and many return to have more).
    Additionally, the vast majority learn who to use the system to
    acquire food stamps and financial assistance.
    ++ Myth #2--Illegals come to the U.S. for jobs to support their
    families back in their homeland.
    This is partly true. However record numbers of those illegally
    crossing the borders are women and children! What' s more, there
    are also record numbers of dead-beat dads who simply abandon
    their families.
    ++ Myth #3--Illegals don't affect politics because they can't vote
    Not true. The fact that they are counted in the census gives them
    political power. Since representatives in Congress are fixed, it
    creates a situation in state's that have a heavy influence of illegals.
    Those "illegals" will likely be represented. As such, it takes away
    representation from people in other states--people who are here
    legally.
    ++ Myth #4--Illegals do the work that Americans won't do
    Not true. Americans will do the work provided they are paid a
    reasonable wage. But profit-greedy employers and corporations
    are increasingly favoring cheap labor. Their profits soar, but at the
    expense of American taxpayers who have to subsidize the labor
    costs by supplying the illegal workforce (and their families) with
    welfare, education, medical, housing assistance. Employers of
    these people simply turn a deaf ear.
    ++ Myth #5--Illegal Immigration doesn't really affect me
    Not true. As we have reported in the past, in non-border states like
    Connecticut, North Carolina, Georgia and New Jersey, illegal
    immigration is rampant. That means in each of these states,
    benefits allocated to citizens are being taxed and stressed by
    illegal infiltration. If the problem becomes severe enough (as in
    California and Arizona) those services dry up. In both L.A., and
    Tucson, AZ hospitals have been forced to close due to the
    incredible strain of illegals.
    + + Your nation. Your borders. Your voice!
    Because you share Grassfire's concern for border security, we
    urge you to do two very important things:
    First, take a moment to add your name to our "Secure Our
    Borders" petition by clicking below. As you can see, we are
    not against immigration, or even increasing the flow of legal
    immigration. Our concern is the increasing flow of illegals,
    and the threat to our security.
    Click here to add your name to our petition:
    http://www.grassfire.org/42/petition.asp?RID=3960059
    After signing, we urge you to forward this message to 25-30
    of your friends and family. This is not just a border state
    issue. Rather, it is a national epidemic that needs immediate
    addressing.
    Grassfire is currently mobilizing tens of thousands of citizens who
    want Congress to aggressively respond to this obvious security
    threat. Over the next two weeks, we are urging those who have
    already signed our "Secure the Borders" petition to help us rally
    an additional 40,000 signers.
    Once we reach the 200,000 threshold, Grassfire will take your
    petitions directly to Congress and demand the voice of the people
    be heard.
    Thanks for taking immediate action with us.

    yes, there are some truths here, but I am not so nieve to think that all jobs will be done by our citizens if the pay was in the right catagory. If the pay was in the $15.00/hour average range, who could afford fruit and veggies? How much hard labor/maintenance would be done? how many spoiled US citizens want to take just any job if the pay is right, not my kids or grandkids. Our standard of living in the US has changed dramatically in the last 50 years or so. We don't mow our lawns, wash our cars, clean our pools or even take care of our own kids anymore. saying that, I'm also not for ILLEGAL immigration
