Just thought I would add some more to the statistics. This debate will be raised again and again, but then some who came here legally are getting hurt as well. It is not just those who are born here that are suffering the onslaught.

QUOTE

From the L. A. Times
1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people)are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal , whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

(There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County. )
(All 10 of the above are from the Los Angeles Times) Less than 2% of illegal

Then again, as I think about this topic, I have another view on this.

I going to type out a little speech here
Imagine, you are trapped in a poor, war ravaged country, whose government is corrupt and persecuting your people, people with similar beliefs, or racial traits, people who are friends or family. Imagine, a day’s hard labor yields but a dollar.
The position you have just imagined is a reality for many people all over the globe. Many are faced with war, persecution, or unemployment.

It gets a little religious from here on, if you are against this, don't read on.

To those who believe in God, Heaven is the great escape from the talons of the struggle of life. In the hungry minds of many, America is Heaven, the only harbor of safety amidst a dark and stormy sea that is the cruel world. Freedom is God’s birthright of men. To deny a man his freedom is to deny his birthright. To deny a man his birthright that has been given by the Creator is to steal at the highest degree that which does not belong to us, which is ethically and morally wrong.
The right of freedom(to go where you are not persecuted or impoverished ) is not given to you by anyone, it is a birthright man is to enjoy, and no one has the right to steal what belongs to the Almighty. And to steal what does not belong to oneself, from the Creator of the foundations of the earth is utterly both foolish and reasonably wrong. For many people being trapped in a country with no hope, where there is no freedom, crossing the border to enter more privileged nations seems the only option to attain freedom, in essence claiming their rights as human beings, to hinder them is to withhold from them their very birthright, freedom.
Those who are living in poverty, want change. Those who sleep in chains, want to be free, but those who are living in wealth and sleep in warm sheets, want more. It is immoral for those who are well off to take advantage of those who have escaped to America or any other country that they would seek refuge in. It is as if they have come out of the frying pan, and into the fire. We stewards of the Earth must take good care of both it, and its denizens, including our fellow humans, citizens or not. If we do not aid those who work hard to scratch a living out of rocks, what shall we do to those who don’t work and squander their wealth and soul on secular things, which will surely perish?

wooh. Long passage, I might have gone a little overboard with that.
hope you agree with me.
