The Children of Low Wage Immigrants are Criminals
2008-09-25 03:41:00 Updated September 24:The male children, at least.This has been true at least in the past 150 years or so. We went through Hell for decades already with the Sicilians, the Irish and the Jews. After some time, they've all comfortably made it to middle class America and beyond. The Irish, Jewish and Sicilian ghettos of yore are nowhere to be found.We are seeing it again with Hispanic illegal immigrants from Mesoamerica and the Dominican Republic and with unscreened immigrants from US colonies in Puerto Rico and Western Samoa. The first generation of illegal or unscreened immigrants produces criminal children, which then produces a criminal culture.In some cases, it ends right there and the newer generations assimilate well. In other cases, as with the White ethnics above, you end up with decades of Underclass Hell before they finally climb aboard. In other cases, the criminal children of the first generation may produce a permanent Underclass. Look at the Gypsies in Europe. They've b...

How Sad Illegal Immigrants Having A Hard Time Getting College Tuition Loans
2008-07-07 21:39:00 Only the USA TODAY would make this sound like a sad story.Some states are making it harder for illegal immigrants to attend college by denying in-state tuition benefits or banning undocumented students.In the past two years, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia and Oklahoma have refused in-state tuition benefits to students who entered the USA illegally with their parents but grew up and went to school in the state. That represents a reversal from earlier this decade, when 10 states passed laws allowing in-state rates for such students.This summer, South Carolina became the first state to bar undocumented students from all public colleges and universities.North Carolina's community colleges in May ordered its 58 campuses to stop enrolling undocumented students after the state attorney general said admitting them may violate federal law."The new trend is to kick illegal aliens out of college altogether," says William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee, which o...

REPORT: Illegal immigrants working at SC Statehouse
2008-05-15 22:35:00 OUT OF STATE FIRM HIRED FOR REPAIRS TO STATE CAPITOL BUILDING ALLEGEDLY USING ILLEGAL LABOR FOR JOB Less than a day after the South Carolina Legislature failed to pass a comprehensive immigration reform plan, The Palmetto Scoop has discovered that an out of state firm contracted to make repairs to the statehouse may be using illegal immigrants. The pictures I have obtained show what appears to be at least three Hispanic men identified as employees of Salem Contracting, a North Carolina-based company. The firm’s truck, parked directly in front of the statehouse steps, had North Carolina license plates. When asked if they were legal U.S. residents, the men reportedly shook their head side-to-side indicating “no.” Further attempts to communicate with the men in English were allegedly unsuccessful. I am told that a number of Statehouse officials have become aware of the situation and have attempted to contact immigration enforcement officials. I am investigating this...

Illegal immigrants and quackery in California
2008-05-11 10:53:00 When they get ill, illegal immigrants in California turn to "traditional healers" for help, and for many of them that will be the last mistake they ever make. But that's not the only problem: Public health officials also worry that the lack of access to conventional care may contribute to the spread of communicable diseases. They warn that the rampant use of antibiotics, often without medical direction, may speed the development of resistant bacterial strains. It's another reason why illegal immigration, wherever in the world it happens, should be stopped.

Illegal Immigrants And College
2008-05-10 13:59:00 There is much debate going on these days as to if we should allow Illegal Immigrants to attend Public Institutions of Higher Learning.

Others say that we cannot deny a person an education based on immigration status, thus creating an entire class of second class citizens? Okay?let me point out that? first, they are NOT citizens. second?Why SHOULD we allow them to take up space in a classroom that could other wise be occupied by one of our own kids. Third, and this is the main point?.What good would an education do them anyway??? Without a Green Card, Work Authorization Document, Social Security Card, they couldn?t get a Good job anyway. Why should we educate them, only to have them deported at a later date. Unless their intention is to take that education back to their home country, then? why should we pay for it???

The towering gray and rust colored posts are marked with bright orange spray paint in areas believed to have been breached, Guzman said.Guzman, who has worked in the area for nearly a decade, said agents have found holes cut with acetylene torches, hacksaws and even plasma torches — a high-powered tool that uses inert gas or condensed air to quickly cut throu...

Social Security and illegal immigrants
2008-03-26 05:20:00 By VictorM:The 2008 report of the Social Security Trustees released today the "actuarial balance" of the system is better than it's been since 1993.Wow, how about that? Want to know why? It appears that instead of making up numbers to address illegal immigrants based on the make-up of the general population, they actually built a model that better represents that group.And guess what? Illegal immigrants tend to skew young. This benefits the system. Young people have more children than older people. This benefits the system. Some illegal immigrants pay taxes for a few years and then leave. This benefits the system. Bottom line: "This year's report results in ... a substantial increase in the number of working-age individuals contributing payroll taxes, but a relatively smaller increase in the number of retirement-age individuals receiving benefits in the latter half of the long-range period." Give or take a bit, it turns out that this shores up the Social Security system...
