King on job creation: Crack down on illegal immigrants

Study: Legalizing Illegal Aliens Will Boost U.S. Economy – POPPYCOCK & BALDERDASH

http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2010/jan/lega…

Legalizing the nation’s 12 million illegal immigrants will greatly help American workers and boost the U.S. economy, according to a new report released this week by a prominent Chicano Studies professor at a major public university in California.

Unlike the existing enforcement-only strategy (referred to as a “vicious cycle”), comprehensive immigration reform will raise the so-called “wage floor” for the entire U.S. economy and benefit both immigrant and native-born workers, the extensive national study found. This will inevitably create a “virtuous cycle” of worker empowerment in which legal status and labor rights exert upward pressure on wages.

If these preliminary findings sound like a crock—financed with tax dollars, no less—take a look at the entire report (Raising the Floor for American Workers: The Economic Benefits of Comprehensive Immigration Reform) because its comically entertaining argument for immigration reform only gets better. The masterpiece is the fine work of University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Chicano Studies guru Raul Hinojosa-Ojeda.

Not surprisingly, immigration advocates nationwide are heavily promoting the study as evidence of illegal immigrants’ positive contributions to American society. After all, the Chicano professor and his researchers found that legalizing undocumented workers will yield $1.5 trillion to the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP), which is a basic measure of a country's overall economic output.

Over a decade, the study found, this will generate billions in additional tax revenue and consumer spending as well as support hundreds of thousands of jobs. On the other hand, the U.S. would suffer greatly if it deported all illegal immigrants, the Chicano professor assures, because it would reduce the GDP by $2.6 trillion over ten years.

Besides, America’s current enforcement-only immigration policy is costly, ineffective and counterproductive. It’s actually wasted billions of taxpayer dollars and pushed unauthorized migration further underground, the study found. It points out that even though tens of billions of dollars have been poured into the U.S. Border Patrol, Mexicans somehow find a way to make it north.

So there you have it. The U.S. should eliminate the Border Patrol and move quickly to legalize millions of undocumented aliens who have violated federal law and inevitably countless local statutes. It’s guaranteed to help lay the foundation for robust, just and widespread economic growth, according to the laughable UCLA report.

10 Principles for Immigration Reform

1. The purpose of U.S. immigration policy is to benefit the citizens of the United States.

2. Since immigration policy can profoundly shape a country, it should be set by deliberate actions, not by accident or acquiescence, with careful consideration to ensure that it does not adversely affect the quality of life of American citizens and their communities.

3. Immigration policy should be based on and adhere to the rule of law. Immigration laws must be enforced consistently and uniformly throughout the United States.

4. Non-citizens enter the United States as guests and must obey the rules governing their entry. The U.S. government must track the entry, stay, and departure of all visa-holders to ensure that they comply fully with the terms of their visas, or to remove them if they fail to comply.

5. The borders of the United States must be physically secured at the earliest possible time. An effective barrier to the illegal entry of both aliens and contraband is vital to U.S. security.

6. Those responsible for facilitating illegal immigration shall be sought, arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law and shall forfeit any profits from such activity. This applies to smugglers and traffickers of people, as well as to those involved in the production, procurement, distribution, or use of fraudulent or counterfeit documents.

7. U.S. employers shall be given a simple and streamlined process (i.e., E-Verify) to determine whether employees are legally eligible to work. Employers who obey the law shall be protected both from liability and from unfair competition by those who violate immigration law. The violators shall be subject to fines and taxes in excess of what they would have paid to employ U.S. citizens and legal residents for the same work.

8. Those who enter or remain in the United States in violation of the law shall be detained and removed expeditiously. Illegal aliens shall not accrue any benefit, including U.S. citizenship, as a result of their illegal entry or presence in the United States.

9. No federal, state or local entity shall reward individuals for violating immigration laws by granting public benefits or services, or by issuing or accepting any form of identification, or by providing any other assistance that facilitates unlawful presence or employment in this country. All federal and law enforcement agencies shall cooperate fully with federal immigration authorities, and shall report to such authorities any information they receive indicating that an individual may have violated immigration laws.

10. Illegal aliens currently in the United States may be afforded a one-time opportunity to leave the United States without penalty and seek permission to reenter legally if they qualify under existing law. Those who do not take advantage of this opportunity will be removed and permanently barred from returning.

Rep. King is a true American Patriot that puts the security of our nation first and the welfare of our citizens and LEGAL immigrants ahead of all else.

In a Statement by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano, when addressing the Senate Judiciary Committee in December 2009– CORRECT? The guarantee was that Obama government had already made successful steps in securing our borders, thus moving us one stride nearer to “Comprehensive Immigration Reform.” Her main objective was to influence these politicians, that by stating, ” Our efforts are achieving their desired results at the border. . . . In short, the security of our southwest border has been transformed.” As proof of this incredulous optimistic pledge, DHS Secretary advised to a decline in the number of illegal aliens apprehended along the border, adding, Apprehensions of illegal aliens at the border have dropped to their lowest levels in decades, signaling reduced traffic flows and fewer attempts to illegally enter the United States.” ROSEMARY JENKS is the Director, Government Relations for NumbersUSA, who visited with Border Patrol Agents in the Tucson Sector in mid-October of 2009 and asked if they believe the official DHS statement that three illegal aliens successfully enter the United States for every one who is apprehended, they laughed. The reality, they said, is that 10 or more get through for every one who is caught. That was two months before Napolitano shared her revelation with the Senate Judiciary Committee.

So if Rosemary Jenks research is correct, then what she says is astounding, ” Meaning that illegal aliens successfully penetrated our borders more than 5.5 million times in FY 2009. That doesn’t sound much like a “transformation” to me.” she admonished. In DHS Secretary world, however, this transformation explains why she has asked Congress for $11.6 million less in funding for “border security between ports of entry” and for $225.8 million less in funding for “border fencing, infrastructure, and technology” for FY 2011. In other words Janet Napolitano–NOT A FRIEND–of the American Worker, but has become a puppet of the open border extremists. Only the relentless pressure by the voting public on–ALL–spineless politicians by calling the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121. Call your state legislators as well, as all states are heavily overburdened with the illegal immigration invasion, that cost taxpayers billions annually.From all lawmakers we must demand a permanent E-Verify for every business nationwide, to restrict illegal labor. To federally deputize every police officer, empowering them to arrest and detain illegal immigrants wherever they may be. Institute a larger force of ICE agents to audit any business that is under suspicion for using foreign nationals in their labor force. E-Verify as a very successful immigration enforcement tool, could also be used to reveal unethical mortgagees, people using fraudulent documents in applying for drivers licenses, car registrations and even health care benefits? Don't let Sen Harry Reid, Speaker Pelosi, Sen.Chuck Schumer underfund the fence, the US Border Patrol or any immigration enforcement. THIS MIGHT JUST BE A FOREBODING OF AN OUTRAGEOUS EFFORT TO FORCE THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM. Get the facts not propaganda at NUMBERSUSA & JUDICIAL WATCH.

What is the argument here? every single alien “BROKE THE LAW!” Our Government, past & present, Republican & Democrat, have allowed the invasion of 20 to 30 million criminals and uneducated peons which is the largest invasion of any Nation, at any time, by any means & in direct violation of Article IV, Section IV of our Constitution.

This refusal to abide by our Constitution or enforce our Immigration Laws should be classified as Treason of the most foul kind, & as grounds for impeachment & trials for Treason!

Not only have they allowed the invasion, they force American tax payers to pay Billions on Billions of dollars to provide Welfare, Prison cells, Educate the invaders numerous children, and free medical care, at the same time the invading horde break numerous laws and massive document fraud, & are destroying our schools, hospitals, communities, culture and standard of living while Robbing, Raping, Killing & Assaulting American Citizens WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Besides being a chicano studies proffesor Raul Hinojosa-Ojeda was born in Mexico so he has zero credibility.

In Pennsylvania we have 15.4% or 424,000 of our own legal children in poverty. Our governor Fast Eddy Rendell’s little city of Philadelphia gave free child birth delivery to a minimum of 1,800 undocumented women in the twelve short months of 2008. Low est. of illegal’s Statewide are 3.8 million. Over 60 percent of all are high school drop outs. The amount of children who will eligible for (SCHIP) States Children Health Insurance Program is staggering. Minus the undocumented in Pa. there are 1,211,000 legal Pa. citizens without health insurance. In Pa. over half our Catholic Churches and schools have closed for good, and the only ones thriving are the clans of illegal aliens packed into rental properties all throughout the State (which is also very broke & corrupt). If you are an American tax payer, thanks to Liberals needing votes, it is not politically correct to use tax payers’ money to the advantage of the actual tax payer. Our taxes are used to support this poor minority of high school drop out illegal. And the devil bedamned the life long law abiding homeowners living next door to the illegals destroying our property value and neighborhoods. Here is one Catholic priest who is actually for us poorer hardworking legal citizens. It is a 10 minute video filmed next door in Harlem, N.Y.

The study sounds good when it says legalizing illegal immigrants would contirbute 1.5 trillion dollars in a 10 year span. However staggering this figure sounds, the WHOLE truth needs to be told. The GDP in 2008 was approx 14 trillion 204 billion dollars. Over a 10 year span this equates to approx 142 trillion dollars. Since it's estimated there are 12 million illegal immirants and 300 million people in the U.S., then Illegal immigrants are approx 3 to 3.5 % of the population. 1.5 trillion dollars is approx 1 % of 142 trillion over a 10 year period. So, we'll have 3 to 3.5 % of the population contributing to 1% of the GDP(not so profitable in itself). Add in costs of social services, education, law enforcement, welfare etc. it's a LOSING proposition. Period. Illegal is illegal. Politicians should be concerned about American citizens, not foreign citizens! Too many foreigners are having an impact on domestic policy. Mexico aids it's citizens to “invade” America. The money coming from Latinos in the U.S.to Mexcio is Mexcio's 2nd biggest source of income. Not racial, just fact!
