Unlikely Groups Ally to Oppose Immigration Laws
Proposing state enforcement of immigration laws can produce strange bedfellows.
The Texas ACLU and an El Paso county sheriff who supports the controversial Secure Communities program stood side by side at the State Capitol in Austin on Thursday to denounce pre-filed, immigration-related legislation similar to Arizona’s SB 1070. A conservative businessman was added to the mix, indicating lawmakers intent on rounding up Texas’ undocumented population might have a harder time than initially presumed.
“Who would imagine that after 28 years of law enforcement the ACLU would be talking so nicely about me,” Sheriff Richard Wiles joked after being introduced ...

THE TAXPAYERS BURDEN—RAMPANT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads in part:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside."
As I see it that the Supreme Court has three identifiable stark Liberals that sit on the high bench, so the chances of amending the 14th amendment of the instant citizenship law has very little chance of passage. But taxpayers can turn to the immigration laws, to find a solution?
Illegal Immigration is a Crime
Under Title 8 Section 1325 of the U.S. Code, "Improper Entry by Alien," any citizen of any country other than the United States who:
* Enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers; or
* Eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers; or
* Attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact;
has committed a federal crime.
Simply this--the baby can stay, but the parent or parents are deportable and should be removed from the nation. Illegal entry should be classed as a felony, but has been diluted down to a civil infraction on behalf of the Liberal and Democrats. The foreign Mother can have a choice that is take the child with her, to her country of origin or allow the baby to be placed in foster care. If she decides to take the child with her then on reaching the age of 18 years, the adult can return and take advantage of his citizenship. This will save astronomical billions of dollars because we do not have to subsidize the Mother or the father, who entered America without permission. Only the foster parents will be applicable for the child's welfare and not the parents that have been deported. Every hospital must be charged with immediately contacting (ICE) Immigration and Customs Services to report a female with no entry visa, no papers. On being released from the hospital, taken before a federal judge an ordered to be deported, but given the choice to take the child with her or given over to Social Services. Of course the ACLU (The Communist Lawyers Union) will have something to say about it and religious nuts, but then if they want these illegal aliens to stay; let them pay for them.
Under the current rule the Mother can access a whole package of welfare entitlements, for the child, but we must remember if she continues to give birth than she is entitled to section 8 housing, that taxpayers are on the hook for? Once settled each child that is born immediately becomes an American citizen and the mother can apply for a estimated $600 more dollars for each one. If approved for low income housing the whole family, illegal or legal moves in and the sisters and other progeny gets pregnant and becomes a baby mill. This is not just trespassers from across our South most borders, but with a huge windfall of cash and welfare entitlement, poor foreigners slip in to America from every niche across the world. This is the derogatory meaning of an "Anchor Baby" But the truth is, it’s an honest assessment. This is the momentum of the "Chain Migration" law as through passing time, sponsorship of immediate family members can escalate and the babies born can also access public services. In addition who eventually are not financially supported becomes the taxpayer’s responsibility.
This is a welfare program that defies logic of which the fiscal impact of the misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment, drawing each year thousands of illegal pregnant women in some cases husbands who are intentionally bring their unborn child, to become a huge financial burden to taxpayers, who are forced by law to support the baby and mother under the provision the Instant citizenship law. It is estimated that 300.000 pregnant women claim citizenship for their children annually, which costs are magnified as the female keeps giving birth. That means--ONE--in--THIRTEEN is a child of an illegal alien. The parents stay and then have more babies that the taxed-out American is forced to pay for. Add Key word terminology of certain words into Google or other search engine and judge for you, how Americans have been fooled to pay higher taxes to pay for this enigma in the law; as an example--Illegal Alien costs. Type in: -- citizenship Baby. Google—Illegal Alien hospital costs. Thousands of reports, opinions, indexes to immigration law can be examined.
In 1994, 74,987 instant citizen babies in maternity wards cost taxpayers $215 million in Stockton, California, without paying a penny. In 2003, 70 percent of the 2,300 babies born in San Joaquin General maternity units were from illegal parents. That number has exploded today with over four million illegal aliens residing are now residing in California. Then nine out of ten babies born in Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas stem from illegal immigrant mothers. Additional costs for illegal alien children stem from a pay day for lawyers, translators, advocates and middlemen. Medi-Cal in 2003 sponsored 760,000 illegal alien offspring in Supplemental Security Income. SSI is a non-means-treated federal grant of cash payments and food stamps and government medical care. With over three million illegal nationals arriving annually, they birth 300,000 newly issued birth certificates babies in California alone and you pay the maximum in taxes. When these legal ‘American’ babies grow reach 18, they can sponsor through ‘chain migration’ their whole family into our country. We are talking about a crisis so monolithic, your children and this nation will not survive it. The consequences are unacceptable and the cost yearly in hundreds of billions is incomprehensible?
THE SIMPLE FACT THAT INSTANT CITIZENSHIP BABY LAW WAS CONSTRUCTED FOR SOLEY NEWLY RELEASED SLAVES, AS AT THE TIME OF THE CIVIL WAR THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS ILLEGAL ALIENS IN AMERICA? SO THE QUESTION THAT SHOULD BE ASKED BY STATES AND EVENTUALLY THE SUPREME COURT IS HOW CAN THIS AMENDMENT APPLY TO FOREIGN NATIONALS, IN THE FIRST INSTANCE? ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE ILLEGAL AND SHOULD BE DEPORTED. The original intent of the 14th Amendment was clearly not to facilitate illegal aliens defying U.S. law at taxpayer expense.
IT SHOULD BE REMEMBERED THAT ORDINARY TAXPAYING AMERICANS ARE THE--STUCKEE--FOR FARM OWNERS, CORPORATE AND BUSINESSES--LARGE AND SMALL, WHICH IS SIMPLY A CRIMINAL CORPORATE GIANT WELFARE PROGRAM.
Unseen to the Public eye is the Amnesties that are activated silently since 2002; seven in all, along with an average of 1.5 million legal immigrants that ends up in the US workplace, while an estimated 15 million citizens and permanent residents remain jobless? The US government rather hesitantly stated that for every ONE dollar illegal aliens get in Social Services, they receive back in tax credits, food stamps and whole mass of programs--THREE dollars.
Now it's up to the American people to speak out, get involved and demand from the new Congress a halt to any further Amnesties. This includes the Dream Act stand with States, the rising, unbounded TEA PARTY that are adjoined to mandate E-Verify nationally. This will condemn any irrational Immigration Reform as this recession is very slowly lifting finally. America has been overwhelmed by foreign nationals and their children, who keep demanding special privileges over our own low income people. Every day the numbers of illegal aliens are climbing and you as an American or green card holder pay the penalty in your taxes. Don't be mislead that there are only 12 million illegal immigrant criminals in this country?
State wide there are propagating grass roots organization, that are against this invasion crossing oceans or borders to further overpopulate www.numbersusa.com partially instrumental in any amnesty downfall. Now is the time to significantly make a difference in the new Congress, by adding your demands to millions of other individuals to enforce our Immigration laws, as cited in the 1986 bill. Call your Senator or Congressman through the Washington Switchboard at 202-224-3121 Every American should make it a national interest to stop this immigration travesty and realize that there are thousands of ominous organizations against you. Most politicians are mentally crippled by this issue and rather stay out of the spotlight. Find out for yourself the intentions of your elected lawmakers, local, state and federal and tell them to positively address this issue or you will vote against them in the next election.

Truth Hurts
Brittanicus, thanks for making the arguments for bringing back good ole' USA-style slavery! Awesome! I can't wait. Then we won't have to pay people to work in the field and in meat-packing plants and in construction. Oh wait ... we already do that !
So here's a slogan I wrote just for you:
"Make the slavery we have legal, repeal the 14th Amendment! Awesome!"
