Judging from the feedback on my
last article “ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ISSUE NOW AN ISSUE OF WAR,” I find
that most refuse to accept the brutal reality of the truth regarding this issue
and will try anything to sugar coat the problem by thinking up excuses for the
benefits of having millions of Illegal Immigrants here in the U.S.
The idea that Illegal Immigrants pay taxes via deductions from their pay
checks, sales taxes and other taxes such as gasoline taxes as a benefit to our
country is an inane point since the cost to the U.S. taxpayer by supporting
their medical, housing, food stamp and, welfare payments, is astoundingly
higher than anything they may contribute to the U.S. This does not even began
to address the whole picture of costs to Americans in what we pay to keep them
incarcerated in jails and prisons, the number of police necessary to fight the
increase in crimes and the higher auto and medical insurance premiums due to
their increasing the risks for insurance companies by using our medical
facilities and roads irresponsibly.
We citizens also shell out billions annually to the public school system in
educating millions of students whose parents are Illegal Immigrants. This is
destructive in itself because as it is now students are discouraged from any show
of Patriotism for the U.S. and criticized by faculty and Hispanic students for
wearing or showing American Patriotism anywhere on campus.
The 90% Hispanic crime rate I mentioned can be disputed by those satisfied with
black and white statistical numbers. However one will arrive at that same
percentage rate of 90% if the numbers are examined extensively. The main gray
area showing this is the fact that in some areas of the country both whites and
Hispanics are classified as Caucasian in tabulating crimes by racial numbers.
Of course most of these Hispanics are either Illegal Immigrants or those with
an association to them.
What I haven’t heard from any of the comments is any ideas of solutions to the
problem other than one suggesting the old worn out idea of Comprehensive
Immigration Reform. This was done during the Reagan Administration and we have
more of a problem today than at that time proving that idea as a dead issue.
The notion that it is a humanitarian situation where there are millions of people
here Illegally and should be given the green light to stay as long as they want
is one born out of pure civil and patriotic irresponsibility and a self imposed
illiteracy of the true facts.
While the actual unemployment rate in this country remains at around 26% rather
than the trumped up government released rate of 10% it makes no sense to have
millions of Illegal Immigrant workers having jobs that natural born American
citizens should have.
As far as this problem being a war is concerned I believe it is since the
Mexican Army makes incursions into U.S. soil almost on a daily basis and has
had shootouts with Border Patrol agents and American officials during some of
these military operations. This fact can be verified by going to police1.com
where testimonials from Border Patrol agents and others can be heard.
There are those who think I’m a racist for addressing this issue, but like any
other problem one must face the facts and in the case of Illegal Immigration
the fact is that most of them are indeed Mexican or of Hispanic heritage. This
is an indisputable reality.
I do not see any American citizens burning the Mexican flag or condemning the
Hispanic race in any rally’s in support of Arizona’s SB 1070 law or at any
other anti Illegal Immigration gathering, but I see the burning of the American
flag, racist remarks, and anger at Caucasian Americans in most all rally’s and
gatherings in support of Illegal Immigration. Thus it is those who are here illegally
and those who support them who are the true racists.
If the desire to stay in this country and become citizens were the true goal of
most Illegal Immigrants the before mentioned wouldn’t even be an issue. People
do not burn the flag and resent the citizens of a country they are interested
in becoming citizens of.
To resolve the problem such facts must be realized and each and every Illegal
Immigrant must go through a process of determination to become eligible for
citizenship. The love of the U.S. must be one of the requirements as well as
time spent in this country.
True American Patriots who love their country and respect the laws of the land
simply do not appreciate being called racists by those who put their own race
above all else and prove their prejudice on a daily basis in their actions.

Kind of arguing yourself into a corner aren’t you. Your 70% against my 90%, your figure and mine still prove my point.
I believe the word is MOST.
I’ll do this slowly, again, as you are clearly tone deaf:
The FBI site I cited shows in 2008 that, based on over 11,000 reporting law enforcement agencies, whites constituted 70% of all arrests, and, while Hispanics are generally classified as white, even if every white person were Hispanic, you still only get to 70%, and frankly, there is not shortage of non-Hispanic whites committing crimes.
These are the facts, they have nothing to do with my political perspective, which is largely in the Ron Paul camp; I cannot wish them away simply because I find them inconvenient, and it shows a remarkable laziness and lack of integrity to continue to insist that these are not the “facts.”
Lies do not become true simply becuase you believe it strongly enough, and repeat it often enough; you may decide that they are not important to the discussion, as I do, but they are there whether you like them or not.
So what is the source of the 90% figure, or the logical path that takes you from publicly reported figures up to 90%?
The answer? Mr. Elliott’s fertile imagination!
Having conservative views is fine, to my mind, these are in fact the “correct” views, and are fully supportable without making things up; lying is not conservative, it is clearly not Christian, and therefore has no place in arguing conversative positions.
