Illegal Mexicans Are The Least Of Your Problems

All I hear is ranting and raving about how the illegal immigrants are "the cancer that is killing our country" or "the ultimate cause of economic destruction." Woah, slow down there HITLER, remember when you said the same thing about the Jews. I've even seen people accuse the illegal immigrants for causing the staph infections floating around America. Here are some things that explain why you shouldn't be that mad at immigrants.

On November 17th, 2007, this is the total amount of US dollars spent on the war. $469,476,583,185. Pocket change. You can even see how much it cost your county alone at the Cost Of War. Once a bomb is dropped on Iraq, that money is lost forever. Numbers about the costs of Mexicans are speculated and people pretend as if once they get money, it never gets spent and that they never pay taxes. In case you haven't noticed, Mexicans eat too. That means they pay this thing called SALES TAX in addition to the amount of money they just put back into the economy by getting a Big Mac. What's that? They need a place to live too? Even more money spent IN AMERICA! This lady would be considered a smart, college educated person. She's a professor of law and had the support of a tax lawyer. To sum it up, her viewpoint is that illegal Mexicans help the economy because they pump billions back into the market through goods and taxes without taking money off of federal programs, since they can't even apply for most federal programs.

The idea that illegal immigrants leech off of welfare is ridiculous. If you were illegally in another country, your number one concern would be TO NOT GET CAUGHT AND SENT BACK. So what does that mean? That means that if you don't want to be tracked by the government, YOU DON'T SIGN UP FOR WELFARE. They can't exactly vote either, so it's not like they have any power with decisions regarding the law. These people pay money into sales tax, property tax, income, social security, and they can't vote. The whole entire country was founded on the idea, "No taxation without representation." Would paying $428 billion dollars in taxes in 2006 be enough to cover the resources they use?

These people are saving you money while they're here as well. Why do you think the price of food is so low? The cost of gathering it all goes down with advances in technology and CHEAP LABOR. These guys are here to provide the best they can for their family. Isn't that the American dream itself? They adandon their homeland so they can come here and earn a better life for the people they love. These guys aren't criminals, they're fathers.

According to this man, who's running a campaign against illegals so I'll even use his current numbers, "Arizona spends over $800 million (K - 12) annually to educate illegals." This is a cause of outrage for many. How does any American usually learn another language or even learn how to read? By learning it and practicing it in school. LEARN AND READ FLUENT ENGLISH IF YOU WANT TO BE HERE, BUT UHHH LEARN IT ON YOUR OWN, WE HAVE NO DESIRE TO HELP YOU.

By the way, the native language of America is Cherokee. Since it was too hard to learn, we just killed all the people who spoke it instead, and then claimed the land as ours. I don't remember the people on the Mayflower filling out an application to apply for citizenship. This guy puts it the best:

"Yes, they came here illegally. I am not condoning this, but I ask you to please consider that none of us would be here today if it wasn't for the fact that our grandparents, great-grandparents, or some family ancestor came to America as an immigrant. Except for Native Americans and African-Americans, every single one of us is here today because of a relative who got to America by 'hook or crook.' How can any of us justify slamming the door behind us - 'Okay, we're in! Everybody else, stay away!'"

As IBM cuts in U.S., it hires in India (14,000 Jobs To India)
General Motors closes Buick City complex in Flint, Michigan (28,000 Jobs To Mexico)

Just two examples comes out to 42,000 jobs lost to foreign countries. What's the lesser of two evils?

Pros of outsourcing and kicking out all the Mexicans:

• You secretly hate Mexicans, so now this way you won't have to see as many, since all the jobs are in India.
• All of your clothes and Nike shoes are cheaply made by kids in a sweatshop. But screw them. That's what they get for being born over there.
• Now you can finally apply for a job in manual labor without so much damn competition.

Cons of outsourcing and kicking out all the Mexicans:

• The jobs are completely lost to another country.
• Rich people get richer by reducing costs. Instead of helping people already in America, you send money to India and Mexico.
• Every time you get on the phone for Microsoft support, you claim to barely understand the guy.

These aren't idiot jobs either, jobs in computers are being sent overseas. Jobs in computers don't need a man in that location, they can work wirelessly over the internet. People in India will never pay sales tax for American goods. Americans actually want jobs in computers, too bad they're all being sent over there. When was the last time you ever said, "Man, I wish I could work in a hot field for less than minimum wage and no benefits." Probably never, so I don't see why everyone gets so pissed when an illegal Mexican takes a job you would never even consider doing, while the white collar jobs are sent to India.

It'll keep out the TERRORISTS. Right? These men would disagree.

Ringleader Mohammed Atta entered with a legal visa several times before 9/11. Zacarias Moussaoui was here on a legal student visa. - Chuck Morse

All 19 terrorists had legal visas. - George Caylor

What makes you think Mexicans won't do the same thing? Get a worker's visa, stay here, done. Way to waste money on a fence that they didn't even have to cross.

It may pain you to realize Obama isn't in support of English being the official language of the country. Then you realize that IT DOESN'T MATTER because it doesn't outlaw every other language from being on a sign and is merely a symbol. Maybe time would be better spent working on ending the war or stopping outsourcing instead of wasting resources by arguing if English should be the official language. It's just another distraction from real issues that will face you today.

What do you think about Mexico as a territory? Bullets failed the first time, as well as morality, but words might may prove stronger today and help the economy. It would create a new market and give the country something to fight for. We'd leave Iraq and be closer to home causing less drugs to come into the country. It would solve a lot of problems if it weren't for nationalism.

I can't be sure of my opinion on that. I don't think either government would spring for that anytime soon.

03-06-2008

if there getting the govement money how is a problem. most people think money is the best thing in life

04-30-2008

NICE! TOTALLY AGREE!

04-30-2008

Form reading your article, on illegal immigrants, I have to agree with you, living in America is not a gold field, as many people think. Sure if u work hard, u do achieve your goals.However,I see alot of immigrants come to work and contribute to a great nation. Many of these people work in jobs that no one else would take. Many Americans say they would work in the fields for next to nothing but a sore back. How many american citizens do u see waiting in line to get a job as a farm hand??none!!! . illigals pay sales tax, goods and services and don't get anything in return at the end of the year. unlike legal residents and citizens. taking care of americas workforce is a priority in america , including elligal's ,ie low income programs in health,education ,and social upbringing. In the country you have to learn to filter out bad propaganda set out to get our attention by racist leaders. Just remember that at the end of the day were all illigal in this country except native indians.

^Stfu, turd.

Good points, Gary. I'm generally one to dislike Illegals, but this does actually open a different (and logical) perspective to it all.

09-04-2008

Why do u even have this??????????

10-07-2008

You racist idiot. It's not only mexicans that are coming to the U.S, theres alot more people from different countries such as Cuba. I, personally, hate people like you that only notice the mexicans. "ooh the mexicans did this", "oo the Mexicans did that", "...Blah Blah Blah". You people disgust me. You know what Mexicans are trying to do? They're trying to live a better life. How do I know this? Because I am one. You should see the economy in Mexico. You can't even imagine it. So if I were you, I would shut up about stuff I don't know about or even experienced. Yes I'm Mexican and I'm an educated one at that and I don't live on welfare you assuming idiot. Oh and one more thing, I prefer you call us (Mexicans) Hispanics.

11-27-2008

I'm not sure if your post is a joke or an actual response to the article, but you might want to consider reading the article next time, you worthless idiot.

11-27-2008

01-12-2009

I agree with you, some very valid points made :)

02-01-2009

Very good points Gary. As for you "mexicans" getting offended I suggest you quit being so fucking sensitive when people "assume every immigrant is mexican". Get over yourself! We're in America! By the way, I myself am hispanic (mexican to be specific) and "U Streotype" along with "Racist fool" need to get taht stick out of their asses.

05-13-2009

Are all of you deaf dumb and blind? When the mexicans came the country died.
Whats the matter? Don't like the truth? All these little smelly dirty swine flu infected poor excuses of humans should be put in gas chambers, and their bodys be used as landfill. And the issues that affect us today are because of those mexicans. Go home and fix your problems with your home land if you are such good workers. Or did you break it too much. And as for putting in taxes......OUR ss will run out earlier than expected since these leeches started using up OUR resourses. Go home or die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

05-18-2009

Illegal immigrants don't qualify for social security. They can't use up what they don't qualify for.

05-18-2009

ummmm dats racist and messed

06-18-2009

The age-old pesky U.S.-Mexico border problem has taxed the resources of both countries, led to long lists of injustices, and appears to be heading only for worse troubles in the future. Guess what? The border problem can never be solved. Why? Because the border IS the problem! It's time for a paradigm change.

Never fear, a satisfying, comprehensive solution is within reach: the Megamerge Dissolution Solution. Simply dissolve the border along with the failed Mexican government, and megamerge the two countries under U.S. law, with mass free 2-way migration eventually equalizing the development and opportunities permanently, with justice and without racism, and without threatening U.S. sovereignty or basic principles.

To read the proposal, Google "Megamerge Dissolution Solution", or click the url.

Nice Article.. :) .. I love it

09-16-2009

yeh mexicans are people also and they do help this country..i do not get why people are racist.

11-27-2009

Me and my best friend/mexican buddy had this conversation on immigration.We are for controlling what comes in and out the country but not against immigration.Need to change the way it is done.You can't have people walking around that have no identity.crime is up because of that very issue.But don't get it twisted I love mexicans and they have the best food in the world by my(preference only).But you can't let people just come an go as they please,do u think other countries let us do this.Your answer:no because of TRUST REASONS.Would u let strangers come in your house freely with wife and kids at risk?I think not to liberal fu*** on here but I look at it from the middle on Immigration.Don't take my message personal its just some reality for liberal and conservatives to chew on because you are both wrong about it.Got to be safe for citizens and fair to immigrants at the same time!

12-11-2009

"Racist fool

wow dude...hes saying mexicans because thats what usually people think when they hear the word illegal immigrants. Calm down! Oh and by the way, other "hispanic" people from south america actually do have something which keeps them legal in this country, which in most cases they do sign up for welfare programs. So yeah, oh and also i am mexican so dont start dissing me.

01-04-2010

It's totally crazy that a piece of paper is what defines what you are in this great country, it is also sad that to some people a green piece of paper is the best thing in life.

02-18-2010

Ignorance. Imagine a Mexican citizen, "jose sanchez" crossing the border illegally and taking 'your' job. Now - replace the word Mexican with Canadian and replace Jose Sanchez with Robert Jenkins. Still a racist?

03-01-2010

This information should be sent to Michle Sabbage (I am not sure if that's the right spelling of his name) he is a radio talk show spokemen. I think he is a very inteligent guy, but his point of view about mexicans in particular is very upseting. (there are many like him) He needs to get some facts straight and not to be so harsh with people that in fact contributes to the economy of this land. If any illigals get any help from a government program, the amount of taxes that we all pay as illigals will offset by far the percentage. There are a lot of americans of different ethnic roots that take advantage of the system. They dont work. Would you think that part of the taxes that we pay, are going to that people? So don't complain, because these people are basicly getting money from us. I came illigaly in to this land and, as soon as a i could I became legal. By hard work and taking advantage of the opportunities that this land gives to every body I bacame a very successible business men. I employ many people that pay taxes. I dont see if they are white or any color as long as they do their job.
Why people that complain about illigal allians do not taking advantage of the opportunities that they have? They should concentrate in oppening doors for their future and the future of their families. They waist energy and time teaching their kids to be like them. The future of our government? Think about it. I appolagize for my poor spelling. I never went to school here because I didn't want to take advantage of any program, even if I was paying taxes. I wated my money to pay for people that really need it?

03-18-2010

THEY TOOK ERRRR JOBS!

03-27-2010

either your very confused or you have alot of Mexican friends or both..I'm a legal immigrant who is know a legal citizen (it's an expensive and time consuming process but legal and worth the wait)starting a new life by breaking the law of the land will never pan out in the long run for the felon ..you really should stick to what you know ,little computer tricks and leave the real issues to the grown ups

05-05-2010

send those fuckers back to where they came from

05-20-2010

We need a wlfare reform not aimmigration reform. Put all the lazy welfare to work and you would not have illegals coming here. Stop the appetite of illega drugs in the USA and Mexico would not have a drug market.

05-21-2010

immigrants aren't the problem its war with iraq stupid bush for starting it and obama for continuing it

06-12-2010

What do you think about Mexico as a territory? Bullets failed the first time, as well as morality, but words might may prove stronger today and help the economy. It would create a new market and give the country something to fight for. We'd leave Iraq and be closer to home causing less drugs to come into the country. It would solve a lot of problems if it weren't for nationalism.

06-17-2010

what about the drug wars that cost lives of american people

08-16-2010

Annonymous, how many lives in numbers? is it 1/10 of how many have died in iraq? Now how many Latinos are in the military?
