Grey's blog: "Immigration"

If this doesn't open your eyes, nothing ill!... and this is only one state!!! 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. 5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally. 6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages. 7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border. 8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal. 9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking. 10. In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people in L.A. County). (All of the above are from the Los Angeles Times) Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States' annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens. We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue. WHY CAN'T WE SEND THEM HOME???? HOW CAN YOU HELP? Send copies of this to at least two other people... 100 would be even better. UNITED WE STAND - GOD BLESS AMERICA

Hey hard working American taxpayers. Just think how much this cost us in 2007! We must stop this birth right citizenship. They are taking advantage of us. It once served a purpose.. Now it does NOT. Parkland Memorial Hospital 44 babies each day! Some of you people don't live in a Border state like I do here in Texas so you don't understand why I say that the Anchor Baby law needs to be re-visited and changed. Please read the Dallas Hospital story below and you might understand my views better. Dallas is over 300 miles north of the Mexican border. ****************************************** We knew the problem was bad in the valley, but we had no idea it was this bad in Dallas. Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas is a fairly famous institution and for a variety of reasons: 1. John F. Kennedy died there in 1963 2. Lee Harvey Oswald died there shortly after 3. Jack Ruby-who killed Lee Harvey Oswald, died there a few years later..by coincidence On the flip side, Parkland is also home to the second busiest maternity ward in the country with almost 16,000 new babies arriving each year. (That's almost 44 per day---every day) A recent patient survey indicated that 70 percent of the women who gave birth at Parkland in the first three months of 2006 were illegal immigrants. That's 11,200 anchor babies born every year just in Dallas. According to the article, the hospital spent $70.7 million delivering 15,938 babies in 2004 but managed to end up with almost $8 million dollars in surplus funding. Medicaid kicked in $34.5 million, Dallas County taxpayers kicked in $31.3 million and the Feds tossed in another $9.5 million. The average patient in Parkland's maternity wards is 25 years old, married and giving birth to her second child. She is also an illegal immigrant. By law, pregnant women cannot be denied medical care based on their immigration status or ability to pay. OK, fine. That doesn't mean they should receive better care than everyday, middle-class American citizens. But at Parkland Hospital , they do. Parkland Memorial Hospital has nine prenatal clinics. That's right... NINE!!! The Dallas Morning News article followed a Hispanic woman who was a patient at one of the clinics and pregnant with her third child. Her previous two were also born at Parkland. Her first two deliveries were free and the Mexican native was grateful because it would have cost $200 to have them in Mexico This time,the hospital wants her to pay $10 per visit and $100 for the delivery but she was unsure if she could come up with the money. Not that it matters, the hospital won't turn her away. (I wonder why they even bother asking at this point.) How long has this been going on? What are the long-term affects? Well, another subject of the article was born at Parkland in 1986 shortly after her mother entered the US illegally - now she is having her own child there as well. (That's right, she's technically a US citizen.) These women receive free prenatal care including medication, nutrition, birthing classes and child careclasses. They also get freebies such as car seats, bottles, diapers and formula. Most of these things are available to American citizens as well but only for low-income applicants and even then, the red tape involved is almost insurmountable. Because these women are illegal immigrants, they do not have to provide any sort of legitimate identification - no proof of income. An American citizen would have to provide a social security number which would reveal their annual income - an illegal immigrant need only claim to be poor and the hospital must take them at their word. Parkland Hospital offers indigent care to Dallas County residents who earn less than $40,000 per year. (They also have to prove that they did not refuse health coverage at their current job. Yeah, the "free" care is not so easy for Americans.) There are about 140 patients who received roughly $4 million dollars for un-reimbursed medical care. As it turns out, they did not qualify for free treatment because they resided outside of Dallas County so the hospital is going to sue them! Illegals get it all free! But US citizens who live outside of Dallas County get sued! How stupid is this? As if that isn't annoying enough, the illegal immigrant patients are actually complaining about hospital staff not speaking Spanish. In this AP story, the author speaks with a woman who is upset that she had to translate comments from the hospital staff into Spanish for her husband. The doctor was trying to explain the situation to the family and the mother was forced to translate for her husband who only spoke Spanish. This was apparently a great injustice to her. In an attempt to create a Spanish-speaking staff, Parkland Hospital is now providing incentives in the form of extra pay for applicants who speak Spanish. Additionally, medical students at the University of Texas Southwestern for which Parkland Hospital is the training facility will now have a Spanish language requirement added to their already jammed-packed curriculum. No other school in the country boasts such a ridiculous multi-semester (multi-cultural)requirement. Remember that this is only ONE hospital is Dallas,Texas . There are many more hospitals across our country that also have to deal with this. If you want to verify accuracy: http://www.snopes.com/politics/immigration/parkland.asp Meanwhile... having done my stint in the military and having worked and paid taxes for the last 45 years, I am on disability.($1062/month) I have no health insurance and although I am disabled now, I must wait until March 2009 to be able to receive help through Medicare. A 2-year waiting period to receive help for medical needs??? Where is the compassion for those that served and paid the bills for so many years. Makes you feel that the government is hedging their bet that if they wait two years, maybe I'll just die and they will not have to extend me those benefits. We need to help the poor and needy in this country and stop giving handouts to people who are breaking our laws.. (Sorry for the length, but this needs wide circulation particularly to our "employees" in Congress.)

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it lovingly with seed. It was indeed a beautiful bird feeder. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the bird shit. It was everywhere; on the patio tile,the chairs, the table, everywhere! Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food. After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be... quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal. Now let's see... Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, and free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the millions. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 or more families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by a doctor in an emergency room because it is filled with illegals; your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English. Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to 'press one' to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than 'Old Glory' are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties. Its just my opinion but: maybe, just maybe, it's time for the government to take down the damn bird feeder. If you agree, pass it on; if not, continue cleaning up the shit!

Can you imagine the stir if every citizen who pays taxes would get up and go to the local police and DEMAND they do something about all these illegal immigrants. Their numbers are now up to over 38 million. They can't be that hard to locate. We know where they are!?! These illegals are going to local offices that hand out welfare benefits. They are going to the Social Security Offices! Illegals go into our hospital emergency rooms. In the towns they are hiding out in they pack the laudromats full! They are apparently working at one of the areas industries! The have broken the law and entered into our country illegally. They are causing problems not only in crime but they are crushing our economy just by their sheer numbers. If residents of all towns would go to the local police station and ask why they are not going to these known places and arrest these law breakers? Watch them squirm! Listen to their excuses! We need to demand protection and/or enforcement from law breakers and if they do not want to do their jobs tell them you are calling the next level up even if you have to call the congressmen's office or even call the states governor's office that you are complaining because you have a police force in your town that will not enforce the laws of the land. If the citizens across this Nation would all stand up and do a protest such as this and make it a protest that will catch the news and become a major uprising issue of the citizenry of this nation I believe things will start to happen a lot quicker than they are now. It would sure make the illegals get moving out. It seems the DemoRATS are delaying everything to stop this illegal invasion becasue they are after the illegals votes and they can give a good hoot about what these people are doing to our communities. They only care about POWER and VOTES!

I am hoping you have the opportunity to read this e-mail regarding the utter frustration we as English-speaking Americans experience on a daily basis. Hopefully, this will go beyond just an e-mail. This is an experience that happened to my wife on April 1, 2007, in Denver County Traffic Court, Denver, Colorado. She had to appear in traffic court as a result of a speeding ticket. She was speeding and knew she would have a fine to pay. We have no problem with that. The rest of the court experience, however, is something we should all stand up and take exception to and ask what is happening to the United States? She was asked to be in court by 4:30PM that day, with which she complied. However, when she got there, it was announced that all non-English speaking persons with traffic violations would be taken care of first. The reasoning being that the interpreter leaves every day at the same time and does not stay late. So a reward for not speaking English is one gets to go the front of the line. Next, the non-English speaking individuals do not have driver's licenses or insurance. Never was it asked why they did not have licenses, what they were doing to get licenses or insurance. What they were given for driving without a license was a $35 fine. Since many of them did not have $35 they were also given payment terms. So, they are granted another reward for not having the money to pay the fines. My wife, who was born in Denver, Colorado, raised here, and lived here all her life, was given a $249 fine for her speeding ticket, was not given payment terms, and had to wait until all the non-English speaking, aliens were treated first. If I understand this correctly: * Let's never require the non -English speaking individuals who live in this country to learn English. * Let's never require they become citizens of this United States of America. * Let's never require them to get driver's licenses and pray they never kill someone on the road with their driving. * Let's never require them to get automobile insurance, so that all of us who do will pay higher and higher premiums for non-insured driver insurance. * Let's make sure that those of us who do get injured by these individuals pay higher and higher health insurance premiums. * Let's make sure those who can pay their fines, pay big ones to subsidize all those little $35 fines on payment plans. * Let's make sure we never inconvenience them and let's never inconvenience the interpreters in this country who may have to work late. Our Country is eroding every day right before our eyes. No country in the world has ever survived having 2 major languages. We are heading down that path.

To all you Americans who stood up to what is fair in the United States of America: I salute y'all who: Took the time to call the number, write or e-mail your elected officials office and voice your opinion. There isn't many who do take the time. However, on this issue it looks like thousands upon thousand of Americans woke up and let the morons in DC know that they know that sow ate the cabbage. You took the time to do this very important job. It shows that there are people who are concerned with what happens to our country and especially shows that they are paying attention to what some of the morons we have in office are trying to do to us. Very soon the names will be out who pushed to allow this amnesty to pass. Those are the ones you want to make note of. Those are the morons we need out of office come the next election. These are the ones who are power drunk and think they don't have to listen their people any longer. They are nothing more than would be dictators and don't deserve to hold an office in America. They need to go down to the new president of Mexico and run for office in his administration. They should! They apparrently love illegal Alien Mexicans more so than taxpaying Americans who foot the bills for them!!! This way they will be in a country where Mexicans are LEGAL and they will be representing legal citizens. Let's fix them so they can do that come next election. God Bless all who participated and let's keep an eye on the sneaky commie a-holes. They will probably change the name of this last amnesty bill AGAIN and piggy back it on another important bill. We have to be alert because we CANNOT trust them. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid promises to try it again within six weeks I never thought I would have to say that in America about the leadership of those who hold our offices that WE voted into those offices. WE CAN'T TRUST THEM. All you Illinois people know what Dick, and I do mean "DICK", Durbin stands for! This slime does not deserve to hold office anywhere in America. He is the one who tried to slip this Dream bill passed us all. Remember that come re-election time. And all you folks in Nevada, remember "Dirty" Harry Reid at re-election time. He is a "backdoor man" in every sense of the word. Boot him out. Grey

If the immigrant is over 65 they can apply for SSI and Medicaid and get more than my mom gets for Social Security, and she worked from 1944 till 2004, only getting $791 per month because she was born in 1924 and there is a "catch 22". It is interesting that the federal government provides a single refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890.00 and each can also obtain an additional $580.00 in social assistance for a total of $2,470.00/month. This compares very well to a single pensioner who after contributing to the growth and development of America for 40 to 50 years can only receive a monthly maximum of $1,012.00 in old age pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement. Maybe our "pensioners" should apply as refugees! Consider sending this to all your American friends, so we can all be ticked off and maybe get the refugees cut back to $1,012.00 and the pensioners up to $2,470.00 and enjoy some of the money we were forced to submit to the Government over the last 40 or 50 or 60 years. Please forward to every American to expose what our elected politicians (Nancy Pelosi included) have been doing over the past 11 years - to the over-taxed American. SEND THIS TO EVERY AMERICAN TAXPAYER YOU KNOW

Bombard Washington DC. Below is the phone number. The switchboard will ask your state. They will connect you to your state's rep or Sen office. I don't know what their plans are but those wanting these illegals to stay are getting very sneaky about trying to slip this bill into play. They told everyone that after the first bill's defeat in June it would not come up again until after the 2008 elections. They lied to hopefully get everyone to put their guard down. Now they try to sneak it in under another name and piggy backed on something else. They are lying lousy fools and do not deserve to hold office. Their hypocricy is criminal. If your interested in what happens to this country you will act on these illegal immigrant amnesty issues. You will also want to keep in mind the names of the Representatives and Senators who are pushing for this amnesty bill. These are the old faces that you want to vote out of office come the next major election. The statistics show that 96% of the faxes, letters and phone calls told them not to pass amnesty. They are ignoring the demands of the people they were voted in to serve. They are also voted in to uphold the laws of the land. The hypocricy has gotten to the point of insanity. As a taxpaying citizen here is a chance to perform a duty citizens should be doing all of the time---vote. Here's the number... Call the Senate switchboard at: 202-224-3121 Grey

This is good! Below is a good example of a discussion with a master of circular logic. Don't be logical, don't respect the truth or your adversary, just say what you think makes a new case when the previous case gets too difficult to defend. On the streets of downtown Houston, May 1, 2006 . Jim Moore reporting for a Houston TV station: Jim: Juan, I see that you and thousands of other protesters are marching in the streets to demonstrate for your cause. Exactly what is your cause and what do you expect to accomplish by this protest? Juan: We want our rights. We will show you how powerful we are. We will bring Houston to its knees! Jim: What rights? Juan: Our right to live here...legally. Our right to get all the benefits you get. Jim: When did you come to the United States? Juan: Six years ago. I crossed over the border at night with seven other friends. Jim: Why did you come? Juan: For work. I can earn as much in a month as I could in a year in Mexico . Besides, I get free health care, our Mexican children can go to school free, if I lose my job I will get Welfare, and someday I will have the Social Security. Nothing like that in Mexico! Jim: Did you feel badly about breaking our immigration laws when you came? Juan: No! Why should I feel bad? I have a right to be here. I have a right to amnesty. I paid lots of money for my Social Security and Green Cards. Jim: How did you acquire those documents? Juan: From a guy in Dallas. He charged me a lot of money too. Jim: Did you know that those documents were forged? Juan: It is of no matter. I have a right to be here and work. Jim: What is the "right" you speak of? Juan: The right of all Aliens. It is found in your Constitution. Read it! Jim: I have read it, but I do not remember it saying anything about rights for Aliens. Juan: It is in that part where it says that all men have Alien rights, like the right to pursue happiness. I wasn't happy in Mexico, so I came here. Jim: I think you are referring to the declaration of Independence and that document speaks to unalienable rights .. Not Alien rights. Juan: Whatever. Jim: Since you are demanding to become an American citizen, why then are you carrying a Mexican Flag? Juan: Because I am Mexican Jim: But you said you want to be given amnesty ... to become a US citizen. Juan: No. This is not what we want. This is our country, a part of Mexico that you Gringos stole from us. We want it returned to its rightful owner. Jim: Juan, you are standing in Texas. After winning the war with Mexico, Texas became a Republic, and later Texans voted to join the USA. It was not stolen from Mexico . Juan: That is a Gringo lie. Texas was stolen. So was California, New Mexico and Arizona. It is just like all the other stuff you Gringos steal, like oil and babies. You are a country of thieves. Jim: Babies? You think we steal babies? Juan: Sure. Like from Korea and Vietnam and China. I see them all over the place. You let all these foreigners in, but try to keep us Mexicans out. How is this fair? Jim: So, you really don't want to become an American citizen then. Juan: I just want my rights! Everyone has a right to live, work, and speak their native language wherever and whenever they please. That's another thing we demand. All signs and official documents should be in Spanish. Teachers must teach in Spanish. Soon, more people here in Houston will speak Spanish than English. It is our right! Jim: If I were to cross over the border into Mexico without proper documentation, what rights would I have there? Juan: None. You would probably go to jail, but that's different. Jim: How is it different? You said everyone has the right to live wherever they please. Juan: You Gringos are a bunch of land grabbing thieves. Now you want Mexico too? Mexico has its rights. You Gringos have no rights in Mexico. Why would you want to go there anyway? There is no free medical service, schools, or welfare there for foreigners such as you. You cannot even own land in my country. Stay in the country of your birth. Jim: I can see that there is no way that we can agree on this issue. Thank you for your comments. Juan: Viva Mexico! ************************************************** Pass this along to every American citizen in your address books and to every representative in the state and federal government. If you choose to remain uninvolved, do not be amazed when you no longer have a nation to call your own nor anything you have worked for left since it will be "redistributed" to the activists while you are so peacefully staying out of the "fray". Check history, it is full of nations/empires that disappeared when its citizens no longer held their core beliefs and values. One person CAN make a difference. One plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one........ The battle for our secure borders and immigration laws that actually mean something, however, hasn't even begun. If this ticks YOU off...PASS IT ON!
