Thought you would enjoy this little tidbit of info. Surprised the LA Times published these stats.
Just One State - be sure and read the last part.

This is only one State................If this doesn't open eyes, nothing will!



From the L. A. Times
1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County (L. A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes.
This is 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 35% 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.. (There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County .)

(All 10 of the above facts were published in 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. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

We are fools for letting this continue

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Send copies of this letter to at least two other people. 100 would be even better.
This is only one State..............

I found it on snopes. They give a status of multiple. I really wish we could copy and paste the snopes article

Okay ... how y' gonna fight this national suicide when there are so many 'bleeding hearts' who took the Rolling Stones' 'Sympathy for the Devil' too literally ... ? Seriously - just think of the number of posters who believe the AZ law is 'racist' and that it allows (or worse, 'encourages') 'racial profiling' ... common sense and national security is rapidly becoming harder and harder to reconcile ...

I like this kid already!

The other problems is there are terrorist groups like La Raza throwing massive amounts of money at the Democrats.

And lots of American Companies throwing Billions at LA Raza.

La Raza is no different then AQ.

Thought some REAL facts might be beneficial





Note that unauthorized immigrants is not synonymous with (Mexico or Latino)



The Backlogs is a very important component of the unauthorized immigrant status because while application is pending the individual is unauthorized but would you want to wait 18 years before your family, your children could join you in the United States? NO, so they come here and live with an unauthorized parent and one legal parent.

Also visa’s can expire and people here legally cannot go back and wait many years for approval to finish school or keep a job. So these otherwise law abiding people take their chances and wait the system out. These people pay taxes, they pay into social security, often they want to become citizens, but the backlogs keep them from it.

Kind of makes it easier to see why the Arizona law & other states who consider following that example, can be a scary prospect especially if the person ‘caught’ did everything legally, paid taxes and supported his community but the backlogs and red tape of our own ineptitude caused this person’s grief.

The following website was very interesting and informative and spent some time verifying SOME of the information and found it trustworthy. Below are is a small sampling.

Now, if you want to see interesting here is something for you…

But then consider the other side of the coin – what would we lose?


The following article has copyright restrictions so you will have to check it our for yourself, but it is well worth your trouble to look it up and review it.

It seems illegal immigration is HUGE business and according to one estimate based on only 30 percent of the unauthorized – they contributed over 400 billion to the 2006 gross domestic product.
Also, their contributions to social security in creased the solvency of the plan by 4 years. Don’t forget they pay state taxes too.

Also consider what it would cost to deport 12 million illegal immigrants (see the beginning of this post)

By Travis Loller, Associated Press

it was free for them to walk across the border, or at least inexpensive enough for them to afford it even though their lives were so rough,,,

Im willing to take the risks,,,there are actually 13.9 million people unemployed and thats not counting those who dont get picked up in the unemployment numbers because they gave up looking for work.


and all those companies losing out because they hired illegal immigrants,, shut them down and take the money in incentives, grants, and tax writeoffs to promote job creation for Americans her in the states...

I do usually like your posts wraithme, read them all the time actually, don't always post though. But yes, some of this has been proven false, some of it is true though.

Who is loosing out? One of the major points is that the majority of the poeple in America could not afford the lifestyle they live if every person on a payroll made the kind of living that would afford the lifestyle of the majority of people in America.

I know it sounds circular but the fact is ALL OF US are more than willing to pay the cheapest of wages anywhere in the world in order that we may have inexpensive products and services. But in America we damand a wage that most other countries cannot even fathom.

I would like to know how many here purchase only made in America products and services? Truely you could not affort it which is why our cotton, wool, spandex, and most other raw materials find their way to every other country in the world until the components which make up the pair of pants you buy at WalMart or Kohls or whereever have consumed more fuel in transit to be made and to get to you than the majority of people will use in their life time. And you paid how much? Now compare that cost to strictly 'make in America' but when you do take a few hours or a day to find out how much of that products raw material and labor actually came from this country.

You see, we outsources all the products of our consumerism because we could not afford to sustain our overconsumption. So right here in the U.S. we have carpenters and construction workers, cottage textile industy (mostly women and children), lawn care, migrant workers, truckers, and any number of unskilled manual labor who may be lucky enough to get paid $8.00 an hour. These are the majority of the unauthorized. (don't forget we have many scientists, educators, doctors, etc in those ranks as well, waiting for administrative backlog to make them legal)

Imagine the cost of your roof, your home, your clothes, if every one of those people earned the equivalent of their American counter parts.

We also have to remember that a good portion - the majority pay into our tax systems in many ways and many are on payroll which means they pay into S.S. and Medicaid. On top of that many who are not on payroll still file taxes because they want to be legal, perhaps their visa has expired, perhaps their spouse is legal - well all that information preceeds this post.

The point is - those jobs would not be filled by the currently unemployed, because in this country, people can not support their lifestyle on so little a wage nor are they willing to put that much effort into the hard manual labor.

The Government sees the benefits which is why we admit so many immigrants every year - the problem is the government cannot or will not support the administration that keep visa's, green cards, and applications for them current.

So the choice is really ours - STOP the unsustainable over consumption, spent the billions of dollars to round up and return the illegals,without the taxes to recoup that loss and pay a higher price for our consumption. Since we will be left to fill all those millions of low jobs there would be littl choice in that matter. So as consumption dwindles, more jobs are lost, more companies go our out of business, more unemployment.

Of course SS will be bankrupt by 2025 or sooner, our taxes would not be enough to maintain the Federal entitlements and the redistribution of wealth will be practically non-existant. All of this leads to another major crisis which American take for granted and rarely blink an eye at - the nonprofit sector.

Without federal entitlements the nonprofit sector - the charitable organization - would fail. That sector, by the way, if it were considered in the world scale of economy would be the 7th largest economy in the world - and we would lose it and the million of employees who work it would join the ranks of the unemployed.

So by FORCING a police state in which all unauthorized persons would be deported we would become a NEW developing nation - but could we even support our armed forces?

Immigration is BIG BUSINESS. The Government knows this, States know this and if it seems that they are taking action against it, they do so according to public opinion - they want to keep their, jobs you know and that means being popular with the constituants.

We really are sheeple but a little education and a lot of critical thought could go along way.
