Waving Goodbye To Illegals
Of course, you know I must be a racist/xenophobe/bad person for wanting to get the illegals out of the United States. As long as illegals are here and coming here, I have no problem with those personal assaults, as it means the other side has no adult, viable argument
The Center for Immigration Studies highlights several findings from a new study
- Our best estimate is that the illegal immigrant population has declined by 11 percent through May 2008 after hitting a peak in August 2007.
- The implied decline in the illegal population is 1.3 million since last summer, from 12.5 million to 11.2 million today.
- The estimated decline of the illegal population is at least seven times larger than the number of illegal aliens removed by the government in the last 10 months, so most of the decline is due to illegal immigrants leaving the country on their own.
- One indication that stepped-up enforcement is responsible for the decline is that only the illegal immigrant population seems to be affected; the legal immigrant population continues to grow.
- Another indication enforcement is causing the decline is that the illegal immigrant population began falling before there was a significant rise in their unemployment rate.
- The importance of enforcement is also suggested by the fact that the current decline is already significantly larger than the decline during the last recession, and officially the country has not yet entered a recession.
- While the decline began before unemployment rose, the evidence indicates that unemployment has increased among illegal immigrants, so the economic slow-down is likely to be at least partly responsible for the decline in the number of illegal immigrants.
So, we can see that illegals are leaving, and one of the two main reasons is employment. Something I have always said, along with others, is that if companies and people will not hire them, they are less likely to come and/or stay. Los Federales should be cracking down harder on employers, making it just to darned expensive and prohibitive to hire illegals. It won’t solve all the problems, particularly for illegals who are in gangs and those with anchor babies, but, it will sure help.
There is good evidence that the illegal population grew last summer while Congress was considering legalizing illegal immigrants. When that legislation failed to pass, the illegal population began to fall almost immediately.
So, when the illegals thought the Feds would give them a path to citizenship, amnesty, if you will, they stayed. When Shamnesty went by the wayside, they started leaving.
If the decline were sustained, it would reduce the illegal population by one-half in the next five years.
Are you listening, Congress? If so, do not try the comprehensive type legislation again. Start with increasing penalties on those who hire illegals, while, at the same time, overhauling the legal immigrant system to make it easier for those who do it the right way, along with creating a better system for migrant/temporary workers and those with visas for other reasons, such as attending school.
Give Congress time. They are bound to screw it up somehow.

How about just enforcing the existing Laws first before making any new ones!
Frankly, I would bet my botton dollar that most immigrants are better educated than you GOP cheerleaders. That is why you don’t want them here – legally or otherwise. You are frightened they will take away your job as a busboy or hotel maid. You are frightened of your own lack of capabilities, not the scary brown people. If you had any confidence and loyalty to your own abilities, your kids wouldn’t know you were such crybabies.
I thought the GOP was strong and resolute. Not much anymore, huh?
Getting beyond your childish (and typical from a liberal) comment, Fred, I thought Democrats have been screaming about respecting the law. So, do you back the law or not?
The only proper punishment for illegal immigration is deportation. Period. Everything else are weasel words.
Remember, left-liberals want to re-create the United States demographically by way of importing millions and millions of poor, Spanish speaking peasants. Right-business owners want to import continuous near-slave worker stream to pad their profits.
The American people, overwhelmingly want illegal immigration fought against and even legal immigration reduced for a period of time. We are suffering from a glut of labor, caused by excessive immigration and we are becomming “balkanized” since little or no real assimilation is taking place as liberals pander to ethnic groups in their own language and liberals run most of the school systems.
Enforce the law. Illegals are using fake or stolen ID’s, comitting social security fraud, income tax evasion, driving without a license. Shall I continue?
The solution is simple, the political will do exercise the simple solution
is another matter. Solution, jail and or big fines for the senior
management of any company that hires undocumented workers. No, not the
shareholders of the company but the actual senior management, no hiding
behind papers. Same to apply to individuals hiring undocumented workers for
domestic and such work. Going after the illegals is a waste of time and
effort, going after those who hire them is the only way. If there are no
jobs they will quietly go home on their own. How to pay for this, frankly
from the fines, the people you are going after here are the same people
with lots of money, take it from them. When it costs more to hire an
illegal then it does a local person, business will hire the local. Fix the
demand side of the problem and the supply side will take care of itself.
Better solution, in fact, a solution that is currently working for a year now. Enforce the law – against firms and illegals (who on average, are guilty of committing several violations).
Enforce existing law, we don’t need to pass new laws that aren’t going to be enforced. Continue deporting illegals but in ever increasing numbers, therefore, the millions of other illegals will get scared and go home on their own. This is happening already but needs to continue at an accelerted rate.
Reversing Illegal Immigration Report Backed By Media Reports
August 1, 2008
CONTACT: William Gheen of ALIPAC, WilliamG@alipac.us, (866) 703-0864
Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC), which manages the largest archive of information in the world on the topic of illegal immigration, is confirming that media reports from across America confirm the primary findings of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) report released this week detecting a reduction in the illegal alien population in America.
“We know that illegal aliens are leaving certain states, local areas, and the nation in much greater numbers and they are leaving, as a direct result of more immigration enforcement,” said William Gheen of ALIPAC. “While the economy is certainly a factor, media reports from Georgia, Arizona, and Oklahoma report mass exoduses of illegals from those states and many say they are going back home in reaction to new enforcement measures.”
Illegal alien supporting groups are now attacking the report, entitled “Homeward Bound: Recent Immigration Enforcement and the Decline in the Illegal Alien Population,” which is available at the Center for Immigration Studies web site http://www.cis.org The report indicates that their analysis of US Census data shows a 1.3 Million (11%) decline in the number of illegal aliens in America since last summer.
The information collected in ALIPAC’s archives suggest that four factors are responsible for the reversal.
More Federal immigration enforcement, local immigration enforcement, the bad economy, and a massive public backlash against illegal immigration manifest on talk radio shows and hundreds of new groups fighting against illegal immigration in America.
“The illegal aliens are feeling the heat from authorities, groups, and American citizens,” said William Gheen. “Many are getting the clear message to vamoose!”
Many reports indicated that attempts to cross the border illegally are declining, remittances sent back to Mexico are dropping, and illegal aliens are leaving areas where local law enforcement are implementing the 287(g) program and states that are cracking down.
While illegal alien and amnesty supporters have often offered the public a false choice between amnesty and mass deportation, ALIPAC has promoted the political concept of ‘Attrition Enforcement’ found in the groups platform and an attached articles titled “How To Reverse Illegal Immigration In America” and “Why The Illegals Must Go”
The platform plan proffers that if we simply “enforce our existing immigration laws” and take the four steps of securing the borders, empowering local police, removing taxpayer incentives for illegals, and crack down on employers that the numbers of illegal aliens in America can be gradually reduced in a humane and sustainable way.
“America’s entire illegal immigration crisis has been created by the under enforcement of our existing immigration laws, at the behest of the Executive Branch, big business, and some leftist organizations,” said William Gheen. “When the states and local governments start doing the job the Feds should be doing, the illegal aliens immigrate to areas of lax enforcement or back home.”
To assist lawmakers and members of the media with documentation of the beginning phases of the reversal of illegal immigration in America, ALIPAC will begin assembling media reports that support this study and these conclusions beneath the copy of this press release on the homepage at http://www.alipac.us
