Wow... just wow.
Typically I don't participate in such emails, even those with extremely good points that I agree with and/or with patician type set ups. However this email, that I recieved from my dad tonight has some simply frightening statistics. Please note that I am absolutly not against ANYONE who immigrates to the US LEGALLY, I don't care what nationality they are. I do however believe that if they do move to this country they should be able to support themselves and their families, please note that I do not begrudge help to anyone who needs it as long as they don't take over-advantage of it. There are a number of other issues contained in this email that I also agree with and could, and may at a later time, put out a significant rant about. For now however an email curtesy of my father.
If this doesn't open your eyes, nothing will! How do you think that
this is going to affect your grand children in years to come?
>From the L.A Times:
1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County ( L.A. County has 10 million
people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they
are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal
aliens.
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien
Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are
Mexican nationals here illegally.
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in
garages.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most
likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.
10. In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million
speak Spanish (10.2 million people in L.A.County).
(All the above from the Los Angeles Times)
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on
welfare.
Over 70% of the United States' annual population growth (and over 90%
of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration.
The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was, (after
subtracting taxes immigrants pay), a NET $70 BILLION a year, [Professor
Donald Huddle, Rice University]. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid
minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE
number.
29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.
If they can come to this country to raise Hell and demonstration by the
thousands, Why can't they take charge over the corruption in their own
country?
We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue.
THE U.S. VS MEXICO: On February 15, 1998, the U.S. and Mexican soccer
teams met at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly
pro-Mexican even though most lived in this country. They booed during the
National Anthem and U.S. flags were held upside down. As the match
progressed, supporters of the U.S. team were insulted, pelted with
projectiles, punched and spat upon. Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S.
players before and after the match. The
coach of the US. team, Steve Sampson said, "This was the most painful
experience I have ever had in this profession."
Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non-European
countries can come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education,
and government contracts? It's called affirmative action or racial
privilege. The Emperor of Japan or the President of Mexico could migrate
here and immediately be eligible for special rights unavailable for
Americans of European descent.
Corporate America has signed on to the idea that minorities and third
world immigrants should get special, privileged status. Some examples are
Exxon, Texaco, Merrill Lynch, Boeing, Paine Weber, Starbucks and many more.
DID YOU KNOW?: That Mexico regularly intercedes on the side of the
defense in criminal cases involving Mexican nationals? Did you know that
Mexico has NEVER extradited a Mexican national accused of murder in the U.S.
in spite of agreements to do so? According to the L.A. Times, Orange
County, California is home to 275 gangs with 17,000 members; 98% of which
are Mexican and Asian. How's your county doing?< /P>
According to a New York Times article dated May 19, 1994, 20 years
after the great influx of legal immigrants from Southeast Asia, 30% are
still on welfare compared to 8% of households nationwide. A Wall Street
Journal editorial dated December 5, 1994 quotes law enforcement officials as
stating that Asian mobsters are the "greatest criminal challenge the
country faces." Not bad for a group that is still under 5% of the
population.
Is education important to you? Here are the words of a teacher who
spent over 20 years in the Los Angeles School system. "Imagine teachers in
classes containing 30-40 students of widely varying attention spans and
motivation, many of whom aren't fluent in English. Educators seek learning
materials likely to reach the majority of students and that means fewer
words and math problems and more pictures and multicultural references."
WHEN I WAS YOUNG: I remember hearing about the immigrants that came
through Ellis Island. They wanted to learn English. They wanted to breathe
free. They wanted to become Americans. Now, far too many immigrants come
here with demands. They demand to be taught in their own language. They
demand special privileges--affirmative action. They demand ethnic studies
that glorify their culture.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?: Send copies of this letter to at least two other
people, 100 would be even better. Help us get the word out.
