There is a huge amount of propaganda and myths circulating about illegal aliens, particularly illegal Mexican, Salvadorian, Guatemalan and Honduran aliens.
1). Illegal aliens want US citizenship.
Americans are very vain thinking that everybody in the world wants to be a US citizen. Mexicans, and other nationalities want to remain citizens of their home countries while obtaining the benefits offered by the United States such as employment, medical care, instate tuition, government subsidized housing and free education for their offspring.
Their main attraction is employment and their loyalty usually remains at home. They want benefits earned and subsidized by middle class Americans. What illegal aliens want are benefits of American residence without paying for them.
2). They do jobs that Americans will not do.
Illegal aliens are doing jobs that Americans cannot take and still support their families. Illegal Aliens were initially used to break the labor unions hold on the unskilled labor markets. Most recently, Mexican Nationals are being used to undermine the Trans-American Truck Driving industry. Previously they were only allowed to drive 50 miles into the United States, now it is unlimited.
Illegal aliens take low wage jobs, live dozens in a single residence home, share expenses, and send money to their home country. There are no jobs that Americans will not do for a decent wage.
3). Every person who enters the US, left a very poor life.
They are NOT homeless and most left very good jobs in their home countries. After all it cost thousands of dollars paid in advance to the Coyotes that bring them across the desert.
When they get here, they to send money back to their real home as evidenced by the more than 20 billion dollars sent out of the country each year by illegal aliens. These illegal aliens knowingly and willfully entered this nation in violation of the law and therefore assumed the risk of detection and deportation. Those who brought their alien children assumed the responsibility and risk on behalf of their children.
4). Illegal aliens are critical to the economy.
Illegal aliens constitute less than 5% of the workforce. However, they reduce wages and benefits for lawful US residents. Their positive input into the American economy is so small, it is difficult to know precisely, however the negative contributions is massive, to Education, Law Enforcement, Criminal Justice, Medical Industry, to blue collar American unemployed workforce, to our Social Welfare system.
5). This is an immigrant nation
There are more than 280 million native born Americans, that are dependent on their Nations well-being for survival.
While it is true that this nation was settled and founded by legal immigrants, it is also, true that there is not a nation on this planet that was not settled by immigrants at one time or another.
6). The United States does not want legal immigrants.
Illegal aliens are not immigrants by definition. The US accepts more lawful immigrants every year than the rest of the world combined. Those Immigrants contribute instantly to our Nations well-being. While illegal’s deplete our Nations resources from their very first day in the United States.
7). What about the "Hispanic vote.”
Hispanics are white, brown, black and every shade in between Hispanics are Republicans, Democrats, Anarchists, Communists, Marxists and Independents. The so-called "Hispanic vote" is a myth.
Pandering to illegal aliens to get the Hispanic vote is a racist point of view. The fact is, that up to this election the Big Money Republicans did not feel the Hispanic vote is significant, everything has changed and every smart politicians is pointing out how the negative the impact of Illegals is on our tax burden, which is every one's concern.
8). Mexico is a friend of the United States.
Since 1848, Mexicans have resented the United States.
During World War I, Mexico allowed German Spies to operate freely in Mexico to spy on the US; During World War II Mexico allowed the Axis powers to spy on the US from Mexico; During the Cold War Mexico allowed spies hostile to the US to operate freely.
The attack on the Twin Towers in 2001 was cheered and applauded all across Mexico. Today Mexican schoolchildren are taught that the US stole California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. If you do not believe it, check out some Mexican textbooks written for their schoolchildren.
9). Some illegal aliens enter this country for a better life
There are 6 billion people on this planet, at least 1 billion of those live on less than one dollar a day.
If wanting a better life is a valid excuse to break our laws and sneak into America, then let's allow those other one billion in and we'll turn the USA into a Third World nation overnight.
Besides, there are 280 million native born Americans who want a better life, I’ll bet Bill Gates and Donald Trump want a better life. When will the USA lifeboat be full? Since when is wanting a better life a good reason to trash another nation?
10). There is a labor shortage in this country.
This is a lie. There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of American housewives, senior citizens, students, unemployed and underemployed who would gladly take jobs at a decent wage. With unemployment hovering around 10% Nationally, 25% rurally, and 45% if you count the workers who have stopped looking and the under-employed. Where the jobs for the new College & High School Graduates, there are none.
11). Is it racist to want secure borders?
What is racist about wanting secure borders and a secure America? What is racist about not wanting people to sneak into America and steal jobs & benefits we have set aside for senior citizens, children, and other legal residents?
What is it about race card, which entitles people to violate our laws, steal identities, and take the American Dream without paying the price?
American politicians have refused to stop the incentives and benefits for coming here illegally; they have not secured our borders and look after the welfare of working class Americans.
These treacherous politicians have been from both parties. American society has a huge National Debt, from working class people having their jobs stolen by criminals & Social Programs for Illegals has drained our National Treasure.
There have already been riots in the streets by illegal aliens and their supporters. There will be more.
Politicians now have a choice to barter with the illegal aliens who have stolen into this country and demanded the rights afforded to US citizens; or they will infuriate the American People who are stakeholders in this country.
Do they have the courage to stand against the Obama administration, who wants to give all illegals Amnesty with a pathway to immediate citizenship and trip to the voters booth?
Rather than to do what is right for America, and legal immigrants

Mexifornia
We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that context, his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration overpopulation conference in Washington, DC, filled to capacity by many of America’s finest minds and leaders.
A brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book, 'Mexifornia,' explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying the entire state of California. He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream.
Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America. The audience sat spellbound as he described eight steps for the destruction of the United States. He said, 'If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that hard to do.
No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that ”An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.''
'Here is how they do it,' Lamm said:
First, to destroy America, turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country.
History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way: 'the histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy.’ Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, Corsicans, and Muslims.'
Lamm went on:
'Second, to destroy America, invent 'multiculturalism’, and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture.
Make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal; that there are no cultural differences. Make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds.
'Third, we could make the United States a 'Hispanic Quebec’ without much effort.
The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said recently in the Atlantic Monthly, 'The apparent success of our own multi-ethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentric and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.’ Lamm said, 'I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities.'
'Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated.
I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school.'
'My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money.
I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of ‘Victimology.’ I would get all minorities to think that their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority.'
'My sixth plan for America's downfall would include dual citizenship, and promote divided loyalties.
I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together.
Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic Games. A common enemy, Persia, threatened their liberty.
Yet with all these bonds, they were not strong enough to overcome two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. 'E. Pluribus Unum' -- From many, one’
In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of the 'Unum,' we will 'Balkanize' America as surely as Kosovo.'
'Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits. Make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of ‘diversity.’ I would find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate.
Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established multiculturalism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for America, it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them.'
In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound silence followed. Finally, he said, 'Lastly, I would censor Victor Hanson Davis' book ‘Mexifornia.’ His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy America. If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don't read that book.'
There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today.
Discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Even barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate ‘diversity.’
American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as corporations create a Third World in America Take note of California and other states, to date, ten million illegal aliens, and growing fast.
It is reminiscent of George Orwell's book ‘1984.’ In that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: 'War is Peace,' 'Freedom is Slavery,' and 'Ignorance is Strength.'
Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we do not get this immigration monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a California wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially the American Dream.

Myths Circulating about Illegal Aliens
There is a huge amount of propaganda and myths circulating about illegal aliens, particularly illegal Mexican, Salvadorian, Guatemalan, and Hondurans.
Before we can intelligently discuss the problems with our illegal aliens, we all need to establish the truth of how & why this all began.
The foundation for the invasion started back in the 1950's when American economists were predicting a huge increase unskilled labor's wages, they felt it was necessary to have a large infusion of unskilled labor to counter the natural supply and demand pressures, that they predicted for the United States.
It stated by helping the rural Black in the South with the civil rights movement, which mobilized many to migrate to the industrialized inner cities of the North.
When the Black population stabilized and the economists had proved their value, the next candidate they targeted would be the women's movement which was again viewed as a population resource for unskilled and semi-skilled workforce. Women generally proved to be brighter, better educated, and more skilled than expected; they also demanded higher wages for those skills.
This meant that economists needed another source of cheap labor that would not be able to demand higher wages.
The Latin Americans was in the midst of several civil wars, and all but the ruling & criminal classes were impoverished. All of this added to the pressure for migration which is exactly what the economists wanted.
With the tacit approval of government, the border doors were left ajar for the largest migration in world history. If the government would continue to ignored their presence and keep them in an illegal status, they would never be able to make demands for better working conditions or payment for their services.
With the exception of Caesar Chavez, and the Farm Labor Movement who organized for a more humane working condition, the vast majority of our illegal Latin population has never been able to improve their own working environment. Business for more than 30 years has had the ability to have a near slave relationship with its workforce. There no winner in the unskilled labor world, business continues to spew out lies about competing with China, while paying out bigger profits to the shareholders. The Latinos were brought here counter the wage demands of working Americans, and accepted a form of slavery for their effort.
Below is an insightful list, created by a retired Border Patrol Agent, and it is a well-articulated insight into illegal immigrants. I have done some editing on this paper, but I have tried to keep the original thoughts in place.
While you are reading, remember that there is a fair and equitable way to correct the injustices and return America back to its citizens.
1). Illegal aliens generally want US citizenship.
Americans are very vain thinking that everybody in the world wants to be a US citizen, Mexicans and other nationalities want to remain citizens of their home countries.
Their main attraction is steady employment, and they also want our social benefits that are earned and subsidized by working middle class such as employment, medical care, instate tuition, government subsidized housing and free education for their offspring.
2). There are jobs that Americans will not do
Illegal aliens are doing jobs that many Americans would take if given the opportunity. Illegal aliens take unskilled labor jobs, then live dozens in a single-family residence; they will share expenses, and send money to their home country.
There are no jobs that you can offer that an Americans will not do, and with unemployment, under-employment, & those that have given up looking for work approaching more than a third of job seeking Americans, we need every job. How many of you know someone who has lost their job due to no fault of their own? How many of you know someone who has lost their home, and may have been able to save it if they had found even a small job. This is America, the land of opportunity; but charity should start at home.
3). Every person who enters our Nation illegally, left poverty
Illegals are not homeless and impoverished, most have excellent jobs with good salaries. It costs them thousands of dollars up front to pay the coyotes to bring them here illegally
They come to send money to their real home as evidenced by the more than 20 billion dollars sent out of the country each year by illegal aliens.
Illegal aliens knowingly and willfully entered this nation in violation of our laws and therefore assumed the risk of detection and deportation.
Those who bring children do so at the peril of those children. Expectant Mothers plan their entry into America so they can have what they call an ‘Anchor Baby,’ on American soil, as to make the child an American Citizen. This is done to complicate the deportation of the family, with no real regard for the child.
4). Illegal aliens are Critical to our economy
This politician’s lie, it is shameful and should be illegal to blatantly lie to the American people, which is what has been happening more and more recently.
Illegal aliens constitute less than 3% of America’s work force; their reduced and undeclared wages are so small as not to reflect any income at all, they did send $20 billion to Latin America last year, with no known taxes paid.
The place where Illegal Aliens really show up is in the Social Welfare and Criminal Justice systems, they make up 80% of the welfare and 60% of the criminals. These are the real costs to have them here in America,
5). This is an immigrant nation.
There are 280 million native born Americans, while it is true that our nation was settled, then founded by Legal Immigrants, it is also true that there is not a nation on this planet that was not settled by immigrants at one time or another.
Even our Native Americans trace their origins back to the Mongolian plains, and there are scholars that claim Japanese fishermen were settled in the Pacific Northwest long before the first Mongol trekked across the frozen Bearing Straights.
6). The United States is not welcoming Immigrants.
Let us break this myth down Illegal aliens are not immigrants by definition.
The United States of America has procedures and laws that handle Legal Immigrants, and they contribute to the colorful fabric of our Nation from their very first day here. America accepts more Legal Immigrants every year than the rest of the world combined.
7). What about the "Hispanic vote”?
Hispanic Vote is an important voting coalition, is a fools dream. The Hispanic Community is white, brown, black, and every shade in between; they are Republicans, Democrats, Anarchists, Communists, Marxists, and Independents. No one has ever been able to claim that the “Hispanic” vote is controllable.
Pandering to illegal aliens to get the Latin Voters is going to backfire this voting cycle, because it will be about Bread & Butter issues.
Bread & Butter refers to food on the table of their homes, the working class Americans is being hit hard by the Obama Administration in the wallet, and the American dream is vanishing before our eyes.
The Illegal Alien issue will not negatively affect the Conservatives in this next voting cycle at all. The reason is, that the WALL STREET REPUBLICANS will have been replaced by MAIN STREET CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS, which will offer solutions that will help everyone.
8). Mexico is a proven friend of the United States
Ever since September 14, 1848, When the United States Marine Corp beat General Santa Ana and the Mexican army into submission in Mexico City. Mexicans have quietly held a resentment of the United States:
• During World War I, Mexico openly allowed German Spies to operate freely in Mexico to spy on the US.
• During World War II, again Mexico allowed the Axis powers to spy on the US from Mexico.
• During the Cold War Mexico allowed spies hostile to the US to operate freely.
• The attack on the Twin Towers in 2001 was cheered and applauded all across Mexico.
• Today Mexican schoolchildren are taught that the US stole California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.
9). Illegal Aliens come to America for a better life,
While this may be true in most cases, there are 6 billion people on this planet, at least 1 billion of those live on less than one dollar a day.
If wanting a better life is a valid reason to break the law and sneak into our country, then let's allow those one billion to come to America and we'll turn the USA into a Third World nation overnight.
Besides, there are 280 million native born Americans who also want a better life, and I'll bet even Bill Gates and Donald Trump also still have dreams of a better life. When will the USA lifeboat be full, and since when is Envy and acceptable behavior?
10). There is a labor shortage in this country
This is a lie, there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Americans including the unemployed and underemployed, the disenfranchised and most housewives, senior citizens, students, and newly Graduated who would gladly take most legal jobs for a livable wage.
10). It is racist to want secure borders.
What is racist about wanting secure borders and a secure America? What is racist about not wanting people to sneak into America and steal benefits we have set aside to assist senior citizens, children, minorities and other legal residents?
What is it about race that entitles people to violate our laws and taking the American Dream without any entitlement?
For about four decades, American politicians have refused to secure our borders and look after the welfare of middle class Americans.
These politicians who have groveled at the altar of wall street gods and their pseudo-intellectual economists that have driven our Nation into the ground, all for the want of higher dividends.
You, as a politician, do you have the courage to do what is right for America? You have a choice send the illegal aliens who have broken our laws back to their home countries and have the gratitude of us who are defenders and contributed to our country.
Or, will you bow to the narrow political ambitions of a insane phonies who have stolen & abused the power of America?

The Illegal Alien issue will not negatively affect the Conservatives in this next voting cycle at all. The reason is, that the WALL STREET REPUBLICANS will have been replaced by MAIN STREET CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS, which will offer solutions that will help everyone.
8). Mexico is a proven friend of the United States
Ever since September 14, 1848, When the United States Marine Corp beat General Santa Ana and the Mexican army into submission in Mexico City. Mexicans have quietly held a resentment of the United States:
• During World War I, Mexico openly allowed German Spies to operate freely in Mexico to spy on the US.
• During World War II, again Mexico allowed the Axis powers to spy on the US from Mexico.
• During the Cold War Mexico allowed spies hostile to the US to operate freely.
• The attack on the Twin Towers in 2001 was cheered and applauded all across Mexico.
• Today Mexican schoolchildren are taught that the US stole California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.
9). Illegal Aliens come to America for a better life,
While this may be true in most cases, there are 6 billion people on this planet, at least 1 billion of those live on less than one dollar a day.
If wanting a better life is a valid reason to break the law and sneak into our country, then let's allow those one billion to come to America and we'll turn the USA into a Third World nation overnight.
Besides, there are 280 million native born Americans who also want a better life, and I'll bet even Bill Gates and Donald Trump also still have dreams of a better life. When will the USA lifeboat be full, and since when is Envy and acceptable behavior?
10). There is a labor shortage in this country
This is a lie, there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Americans including the unemployed and underemployed, the disenfranchised and most housewives, senior citizens, students, and newly Graduated who would gladly take most legal jobs for a livable wage.
10). It is racist to want secure borders.
What is racist about wanting secure borders and a secure America? What is racist about not wanting people to sneak into America and steal benefits we have set aside to assist senior citizens, children, minorities and other legal residents?
What is it about race that entitles people to violate our laws and taking the American Dream without any entitlement?
For about four decades, American politicians have refused to secure our borders and look after the welfare of middle class Americans.
These politicians who have groveled at the altar of wall street gods and their pseudo-intellectual economists that have driven our Nation into the ground, all for the want of higher dividends.
You, as a politician, do you have the courage to do what is right for America? You have a choice send the illegal aliens who have broken our laws back to their home countries and have the gratitude of us who are defenders and contributed to our country.
Or, will you bow to the narrow political ambitions of a insane phonies who have stolen & abused the power of America?
