$280 for every citizen, assumed to be exponentially larger now in 2006.
2. 40% of all workers in Los Angeles County work for cash and do not pay
taxes. They are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.
3. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles County are for illegal aliens.
4. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles County are illegal
aliens.
5. Over 2/3's of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal Mexican
aliens on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by California taxpayers.
6. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California are Mexican nationals here
illegally.
7. Less than 2% of illegal aliens in California are here picking crops -- but
29% are on welfare.
8. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.
9. About 60% of all Housing and Urban Development (HUD) property occupants in
California are illegal immigrants.
10. Out of the 20 plus million illegals currently in US, 70% are Mexican.
Result of the May 1 Day without Illegals Boycott
On May 1st, as a result of the Mexican boycott,
national retailers reported 4.2% lower sales for the
day, with a 67.8% reduction in shoplifting.
I say we should adopt the following immigration laws... ;)
1. If you legally migrate to this country, you must speak the native language.
2. You have to be a professional or an investor. No unskilled workers allowed.
3. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools, no special ballots for elections, all government business will be conducted in our language.
4. Foreigners will NOT have the right to vote no matter how long they are here.
5. Foreigners will NEVER be able to hold political office.
6. Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food stamps, no health care, or other government assistance programs.
7. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.
8. If foreigners do come and want to buy land that will be okay, BUT options will be restricted. You are not allowed waterfront property. That is reserved for citizens naturally born into this country.
9. Foreigners may not protest; no demonstrations, no waving a foreign flag, no political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or his policies, if you do you will be sent home.
10. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be hunted down and sent straight to jail.
Before you get all wound up, the above are currently laws of Mexico.
