Illegal Alien Stats

According to an Alabama Republican Assembly Newsletter here are a few facts that might help to open our eyes. I am listing these because I read the other day that 12 American citizens are murdered every day by illegal aliens and 13 more are killed by illegal aliens who were driving drunk.

Facts to Ponder
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 was 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 25% 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 the above from the Los Angeles Times)
Other facts to consider:
· 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.
· The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was, (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay), a NET $70 BILLION/ year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University ]. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE number.
· 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

Now, I love Mexico. I think it is a great country. I have been to Central America so many times that I have lost count. I am not anti-Latino. I am pro-America. We must close the borders and get a lid on this thing. Then I say let everyone who qualifies come if they want to. But if we don't stop the bleeding fast we will only have all of the criminals along with a few good citizens.
It is corruption in leadership that has ruined Latin America.
