More Mexicans leaving U.S. under duress

Immigrant households in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area paid taxes roughly in proportion to their share of the population in 1999–2000.

Foreign-born workers do not substitute perfectly for, and therefore do not compete with, most native-born workers. Rather, the complementary nature of the skills, occupations, and abilities of foreign-born workers increases the productivity of natives, stimulates investment, and enhances the choices available to consumers.

U.S. economic growth projections for 2002–2012 are predicated on a growing supply of workers that likely will not be found in the native-born population alone. Absent a change in current immigration laws, undocumented immigrants will likely account for 1 in 8 new workers between 2002 and 2012. Rather than creating an orderly process by which needed workers enter the United States from abroad, static limits on employment-based immigration have diverted labor migration to undocumented channels or clogged the family-based immigration system.

The notion that every job filled by an immigrant is one less job available for a native-born worker is inherently simplistic and doesnt account for the fact that immigrants jobs or that unemployed natives and immigrant workers often do not compete for the same jobs.

Immigrants will form an increasing share of the workforce over the next thirty years. Foreign-born workers are well-represented in occupations predicted to grow most over the next decades, suggesting such workers will remain in demand.

You are so full of crap. Get it through your thick skull, we do not need, nor want, a bunch of illegal aliens sucking what's left of this country dry. Stop with the cut and paste, nobody cares about all the skewed so called statistics that your spewing, they only care that money and resources are being wrongfully spent and used on people that are criminals. What part of illegal do you not understand? If you love illegal aliens so much then please, invite them to live with you and you be responsible for them because the majority of Americans are fed up with them.

This analysis, based on a survey of 734 members of eight leading international trade associations estimates that U.S. companies suffered $30.7 billion in financial impact between July 2002 and March 2004 due to delays/denials in the processing of business visas.

Latin American migrants living in the United States will send some $30 billion back to their countries of origin in 2004. At the same time, they contribute an estimated $450 billion to the U.S. economy.

the Latino workforce in nine counties in South Central Minnesota added $484 million annually to the regional economy. 7,800 additional jobs were d for non-Latinos, and Latino workers paid approximately $72 million more in taxes than they receive in government benefits.

Between 1993 and 2003, 60 California hospitals were forced to close from the financial burden of providing free health care for uninsured illegal aliens.
Illegal immigrants who enroll in the University of California system are charged in-state tuition.
Each year the Border Patrol makes more than a million apprehensions of persons unlawfully crossing U.S. borders to work and to receive public assistance, often with the aid of fraudulent documents. Such entry is a misdemeanor, and if repeated becomes punishable as a felony.
Illegal aliens from Central America have been allowed to remain in the United States so long that their homelands have grown dependent on the billions of dollars a year they send home in remittances.
300,000 people who have been ordered deported are still in the country because their deportation orders were not enforced.
Census Bureau estimates say 115,000 people from terrorist-sponsoring Middle Eastern nations live in the United States illegally.
Some illegal aliens from terrorist nations pay as much as $50,000 each to be smuggled into our country.
Approximately one-third of all foreign-born U.S. residents are illegal aliens.
Over half of all Mexicans living in the United States are here illegally.
In the last decade, 80 to 85 percent of the flow of Mexican immigrants has been illegal.
A strategy of attrition through enforcement could reduce the illegal population by as many as 1.5 million illegal aliens each year. Currently about 183,000 illegal aliens per year depart without the intervention of immigration officials, according to DHS statistics.

Employment Based Visas Facts Last year, 140,000 employment-based visas were issued.
Corporations have been known to replace American professional workers with foreign-born professionals willing to accept lower salaries and poorer working conditions.
The H-1B Visa program brings "temporary" high-tech foreign workers (usually computer scientists and programmers) to the U.S. to fill an alleged "shortage" of American Information Technology (IT) workers. The high-tech industry vociferously lobbies Congress for increases in the number of H-1B workers as it produces fewer jobs and displaces American workers.

Amnesty Facts Amnesties, whether presented as “guest worker programs” or other legislation, reward lawbreaking.
Historically, each time the U.S. government enacted an amnesty, illegal immigration numbers increased sharply thereafter.
The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 granted amnesty to 2.7 million illegal aliens. The purpose of IRCA was to lower illegal immigration. Instead, illegal immigration increased fivefold, from around 140,000 per year in the 1980s to 700,000 per year today.
Granting amnesty would allow access to taxpayer-funded services such as welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, and MediCal, for millions of illegal aliens.
One study found that the net cost to the federal government of granting amnesty to 3.8 million illegal aliens would average $5,000 per household, for a total cost of $19 billion.
Congress is currently considering offering amnesty to the estimated 12-20 million illegal aliens living in the United States.
Granting amnesty to illegal immigrants would open the door to many more newcomers, as each person granted citizenship could bring over his/her family—legally. Simply bringing the parents of each new citizen here would mean allowing another 24-40 million people to settle in the United States.
Currently, one-tenth of the flow of legal immigrants to the United States are parents of naturalized recent immigrants.
All parents of naturalized immigrants would be eligible for citizenship—and therefore also be eligible for Medicaid and Social Security benefits, for a total cost to the U.S. government of $18,000 per person.

Nearly half of the population of the United States can trace their roots to IMMIGRANTS. Immigrants are an important part of our heritage. Below are some interesting statistics of how the United States has been shaped by our immigrant ancestors.
In 1820 the U.S. population is about 9.6 million. About 151,000 new immigrants arrive in 1820 alone.
1825 "Great Britain" decrees that England is overpopulated and repeals laws prohibiting emigration. The first group of Norwegian immigrants arrive.
1846 Crop failures in "Europe." Mortgage foreclosures send tens of thousands of the dispossessed to United States.
1848 "German" political refugees emigrate following the failure of a revolution.
The U.S. population is 50,155,783. More than 5.2 million immigrants enter the country between 1880 and 1890.
1890 New York is home to as many "Germans" as Hamburg, Germany.

This forum is not history lesson. It is not even about immigrants. It is about ILLEGAL ALIENS. They are criminals.

Immigrants don’t want to learn English
FALSE
The development of English proficiency among non-English speaking immigrants today mirrors that of Nineteenth and early Twentieth century immigration, when masses of Italian, German, and Eastern European immigrants came to America. While first generation, non-English speaking immigrants predictably have lower rates of English proficiency than native speakers, 91% of second generation immigrants are fluent or near fluent English speakers. By the third generation, 97% speak English fluently or near fluently.

I was going to set down and answer each of your postings with "This forum is not history lesson. It is not even about immigrants. It is about ILLEGAL ALIENS. They are criminals." but I decided it was too time consuming.

What I will say is that you are 100% corrct in that the majority of our fore-fathers immigrated to the US. Mine, as late as 1900. I am only 3rd generation american.

But seriously this isn't about immigration. Immigration is a controled and lawful act. To immigrate you pass a health check. To immigrate you pass a background check. To immigrate you provide evidence that you can survive above the poverty level for 10 years without public assistance.

My fore-fathers did that. I welcome immigrants. As an employer, I sponsor a family from SA.

What I don't condone is illegal alliens. I think they need to be deported to immigrate legally. They are committing a criminal act. Anyone who helps them is committing a criminal act. Enforce the laws. Respect the laws.

And if you haven't notied, I did this all without sicussing RACE or COUNTRY OF ORIGIN. Because that is not what it is about. A illegal allien from Canada is just as illegal as one from Mexico.

"Your History posted, "TO DEMAND RESPECT FROM THE COMMUNITY. TO BE RESPECTED AS HUMAN BEINGS AND BE GIVEN THE RIGHT OF A HUMAN BEING AND KNOW YOUR ALL AGAINST, WHAT YOUR ANCESTORS FOUGHT FOR."

In order to demand respect as a human being, then show respect and act like a human being.

Our ancestors did not fight for Food Stamsp, Section 8, free health care for some, nor did they fight for gangs and that some pay taxes and some do not.

You are wrong about the majority of illegal aliens whom pay taxes. Farmers do not have W2s on their seasonal help. Meat packing among many other plants when hiring an illegal alien (and they know they are illegal when hiring,) tell them they don't need to pay any taxes for the first 5 years.

Many companies will not pay health care benefits on illegal aliens, instead they send them to the hospitals and clinics for free care courteous of American tax payers.

Everything, you have posted is over inflated to appease your opinions, thats all.
