Illegal Aliens Bring Generations Of Poverty With Them

Uneducated immigrants, regardless of heritage or ethnicity, who have little interest in education, generally end up with poorly educated children. While the averages are already bad, the education gap between Mexican and non-Mexican natives is far larger than the simple averages would indicate.

FACTS: The availability of Mexican heroin is increasing, albeit slightly, in eastern heroin markets traditionally supplied by South American heroin.

Mexican DTOs increasingly are transporting and distributing South American heroin in eastern U.S. drug markets, on behalf of Colombian DTOs.

Continued declines in heroin production in South America could result in increased availability of Mexican and Asian heroin in eastern U.S. heroin markets.

Although overall heroin demand appears to be stable, increased levels of abuse among young adults have been noted in some areas.

Sadly, the Blair government only now seems to be posing the question.


Australia on Illegal Immigrants:
Illegal immigrants are quite simply just "queue jumpers" who have decided to get into Australia ahead of everyone else, so that they can enjoy the benefits of a better existence. While they are here illegally, they often collar a job, thus depriving Australians of employment. They break the law by being here, they snub their nose at those who are patiently waiting to migrate, they take jobs away from Australians, and often rip us all off by avoiding taxes - and then they expect to be allowed to stay!!! Illegal immigrants are a blight on the Australian community, and deserve nothing more than immediate deportation and confiscation of any money earned whilst illegally in Australia.

The Second Mexican War

The Mexican invasion of the United States began decades ago as a spontaneous migration of ordinary Mexicans into the U.S. seeking economic opportunities.

FACT: Harvard Professor Samuel P. Huntington, Chairman of the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies - a self-described "old-fashioned Democrat" - warned in his April 2004 article, "The Hispanic Challenge":

"Demographically, socially, and culturally, the reconquista (re-conquest) of the Southwest United States by Mexican immigrants is well underway... No other immigrant group in U.S. history has asserted or could assert a historical claim to U.S. territory. Mexicans and Mexican Americans can and do make that claim."


FACT: "If another terrorist attack is conducted on U.S. soil by illegal aliens, the fault will lie with Congress and the president, one lawmaker asserted Thursday. 'If we have another event, and it's perpetrated by someone coming into this country illegally, and we've done no more to protect our borders and actually enforce our immigration policy...then the blood of the people that are killed will be on our hands and the president's,' Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) told CNSNews.com.
'There seems to be a tug-of-war within the administration, with the Justice Department and Homeland Security generally being in favor of muscular immigration enforcement, whereas...the Treasury Department and State Department are in favor of the status quo - an immigration policy that looks tough to satisfy public concerns but is never implemented,' Krikorian [Center for Immigration Studies] told CNSNews.com. Tancredo detailed the big problems confronting immigration policy and enforcement reform. 'One: Democrats see massive immigration into this country - both legal and illegal - as a source of potential supporters. Two: Republicans see that same phenomenon as a source of cheap labor, and of course, the president, who wants to make a wedge issue out of it in the next election,' Tancredo explained. 'Those three forces combined make it damn near impossible to do anything about immigration reform."
