You can “Google it.” [T]he event showed just how quickly a country can lose its sovereignty. Tens of thousands of people entered in one day illegally. Spain … Read more

Illegal Immigration Benefits Politicians, Employers, and Union Bosses, and Hurts Everyone Else

September 26, 2018February 9, 2013 Don

Donna Brazile’s column in Wednesday’s (2/6/13) “The Citizen”, www.citizen.com, is typical of liberal writings, an attempt to mislead the American people. Brazile inappropriately interweaves legal and illegal immigration benefits and falsifies immigration enforcement effectiveness.

Immigration laws have not been changed because the American people believe in the rule of law and in real “Fairness”. It would be wrong for people to benefit from their illegal immigrations. And, it would not be FAIR to the people trying to come to this country legally (often waiting years or decades).

Brazile tries to assign the benefits that legal immigrants bring to this country (e.g., working legally without burdening taxpayers, starting businesses, paying taxes, assimilating into our country and culture) to illegal immigrants. That, of course, is false. On average each illegal immigrant annually costs taxpayers about $11,000 worth of medical, housing, food, and other benefits intended for needy Americans citizens.
