10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the United States . http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt01.html

11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal alie ns from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine and marijuana, crossed into the U. S. from the Southern border. Homeland Security Report: http://tinyurl.com/t9sht

12. The National Policy Institute, 'estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.' http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/pdf/deportation.pdf

13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin. http://www.rense.com/general75/nih t.htm

14. 'The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States '. http://www.drdsk.com/articleshtml

So using the LOWEST estimates, the annual cost OF ILLEGAL ALIENS is $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR! So if deporting them costs between $206 and $230 BILLION DOLLARS, then get rid of em', We'll be ahead after the 1st year!!!

LAST EDITED ON Sep-02-07 AT 09:03PM (MST)[p]Never Happen, Because:

Democrats need lower class, welfare, and "CA educated" activists votes.

Republicans are actually worse, because they claim to really want to do something to appease us voters (which they could of in the past 4 years with the (Republican controlled the Pres./house/senate). But choose to screw the majority opinion, and what is commen sense, for their rich business interest friends.

Cosa That may be one of the most accurate statements written on this site. It is unfortunate it is true.

The monies sent back home and out of our economy is the worst problem in my opinion. Think about that $45 billion not being spent at American businesses, mom and pop stores. We all loose and even the government looses out on the sales taxes which would have been generated by $45,000,000,000 being spent here, where it was earned.

If we deported the illegals, Western Union Telegram would scream to high heaven. Most of the illegals use their service to wire those American dollars back to Mexico.
Might be the reason Western Union really upped their money gram fees a few years ago. they charge about 50 bucks to send 350 bucks by telegram. That is a big chunk of change if 45 billion is being sent out to Mexico.

I don't know! I thought we was a nation of immigrants, guess that doesn't apply to mexicans. What we are seeing now is the "new" indentured slaves ... "I can get a lady to clean my toilets for $4.00 bucks a hour" Jesus save me for I have sinned!

Remembering The Dark Side Of Ellis Island
America's Doorway Represented Hope To Many, But Its Hospital Is Where Many Dreams Of A New Life Ended

The Ellis Island hospital is referred to as the dark side of the island. It is where many sick immigrants were treated. (CBS)

Quote

"This is like a metaphor to what really happened on this island. I mean, it's about life, it's about death. It's about going on a journey and maybe going to some other place."

(CBS) The Statue of Liberty appears like a recurring thought ? suddenly, unexpectedly, the embodiment of the American dream ? so tantalizingly close, and yet so far away for those who were confined here.

She beckons the tired, the poor, the huddled masses of the world, and for more than 60 years beginning in 1892, they spilled onto the docks at Ellis Island, 12 million of them altogether. Once in 1907, more than 11,000 arrived in one day.

The immigrants climbed the steep stairs into the great hall. Doctors examined them and then decided who was free to go and who was sent to the south side of the island to the hospital, to be held for treatment and possible deportation. Today it is off-limits to the public.

"Tens of thousands of people were taken to the hospital," the author of "Forgotten Ellis Island," Lorie Conway, told Sunday Morning's Martha Teichner. "It's called the island of hope ? 350 babies were born in this hospital ? and it's called the island of tears ? 3,500 immigrants died in this hospital, and many died penniless and were buried in paupers' graves."

To protect the nation from illnesses that immigrants arrived with, the Ellis Island hospital had what was considered one of the best infectious disease facilities in the world. Sick children found themselves separated from their parents.

The staff were ordered to treat immigrants with kindness and they did, but anti-immigrant feeling was strong, and the fear of deportation was real.

"Eugenics was a hard science at the turn of the century, and a lot of people, members of Congress believed in eugenics that held that the American gene pool was being poisoned and polluted by the immigrant stock that was interbreeding and intermarrying in America at that time," Conway said.

Ellis Island finally closed in 1954. The immigrant processing center was restored and is now a museum. But not the "dark side," as the hospital complex came to be known.

In 1998, photographer Stephen Wilkes was asked to walk the grounds and spent an hour documenting what 50 years of neglect had done to the 22 hospital buildings. He took one look and then spent five years coming back again and again in different seasons, to capture the spooky beauty of the place before it was cleared and the buildings stabilized in hopes that it, too, one day would be restored.
