20 Million illegal aliens returned “home” the US economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would have to hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn’t be working off the books. That would result in an additional $400 billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local state and city coffers. No more push “1” for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than 2 million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches. We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. Losing more than 20 million people would clear up crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens. Over $80 billion annually wouldn’t return to their home countries by cash transfers. At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, which cost us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupted out of existence because illegals pay nothing. Americans wouldn’t suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country-brought in by illegals unscreened at our border Our cities would see 10 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities. It would also put the “secular progressives” on the horns of a dilemma: illegal aliens and their families cause 11 percent of our greenhouse gases. Over one million of Mexico’s poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California in what the New York Times called, “colonias” or new neighborhoods. The trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, electricity, roads or any kind of sanitation. The New York Times reported them to be America’s new third world inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth they expect 50 million residents of those colonias. (I’ve seen them personally in Texas and Arizona; It’s sickening beyond anything you can imagine.) By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico. “We invite a million people into our country legally, more than all other countries combined annually. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation. It’s time to stand up for our borders, our language and our culture and our way of life. Rita Lingwood is a practicing attorney in Citrus Heights, California.
