  2. More than 65 million immigrants have come to the United States legally or illegally. Since 2000, more than 1 million immigrants a year have entered the United States legally or illegally. More than 1/3 of immigrants do not have a high school diploma. About 350,000 illegal aliens came to the United States in the 1990s alone. 9-11 million illegal immigrants live in the US. Majority of illegal aliens live in California, Texas, New York, Florida, and Illinois. Ifcurrent trends continue, our population will double to over half-a-billion by the end of the century. Facts

  4. The 1924 National Origins Act limited the amount of immigrants allowed to enter the United States. The Refugee Act of 1980 allowed more refugees to come to the United States. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of punished companies that knowingly hired illegal immigrants and allowed illegal immigrants already living in the US to become citizens. Immigration laws

  5. The Immigration Act of 1990 raised the number of immigrants allowed to emigrate to the US by 385,000 people. The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 allowed deportation for illegal immigrants and rejection for asylum claims. Immigration laws (cont.)

  7. Since the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, deportation had doubled. Some feel that if we do not start enforcing immigration laws and using deportation, then we are rewarding illegal immigrants for coming to the United States illegally by giving thosejobs and care. deportation

  9. The Supreme Court ruled that illegal immigrants must be granted education by their state. This is costing the state of California nearly $7 million a year which does not help our economy. If 90% of the ESL students are children of illegal aliens then the education costs for children of illegal aliens is about $34.5 billion per year. Education

  10. Illegal immigrants take millions of jobs away from American workers which hurts our economy. jobs http://vodpod.com/watch/2577440-lou-dobbs-on-illegal-immigrants

  12. They used to work jobs such as farm labor and cleaning hotel rooms now they are spreading to jobs formally worked by Americans such as construction, fast food, and retail. They’re taking summer jobs from high school and collage students who are American citizens. There are 13 million illegal aliens in our country and millions of them illegally working our jobs Jobs (Cont.)

  13. If an illegal immigrant gets seriously injured, they would probably go to a hospital to get treated. Even though they are illegal, hospitals are required to provide care to any person that walks through the hospital doors. When the illegal immigrant has no insurance or money to pay, the United States taxpayers pay for this illegal immigrants injury. Is this fair? Economic burden

  14. Many illegal immigrants obtain a drivers license by using fake documentation. Some states require that drivers pay for car insurance. However, some illegal aliens cancel their car insurance because they cannot afford it. Most illegal aliens are paid minimum wage and cannot afford car insurance and a well working car. This causes these illegal immigrants to be more prone to car accidents. Since the terrorist attack on 9/11, many Americans have been worried that our border is too open and that it is very easy for people to just enter the United States. “The national security demands that we know who is living within our borders, especially since 9/11.” - Senator John Cornyn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WuOvCKC9Qs&feature=related American Saftey

  15. Federal investigators believe that as much as 2.2 million kilograms of cocaine and 11.6 kilograms of marijuana were smuggled into the United States via the Mexican border in 2005. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration reports that the Mexican drug syndicates operating today along our Nation’s Southwest border are far more sophisticated and dangerous than any of the other organized criminal groups in America’s law enforcement history. In North Carolina the DEA reports “a significant increase in drug-trafficking activity”. Mexican drug trafficking organizations usually use illegal immigrants in the U.S. to transport cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, and heroin into and throughout the country. Mexican criminal groups are also increasing their involvement in retail drug distribution. drugs

  16. An anchor baby, as known as “a jackpot baby” is a child born in the U.S. by illegal immigrants. This child automatically becomes a U.S. citizen. Their illegal families are suddenly able to ‘anchor’ onto the benefits of that child and get approved for public housing, free rent, food stamps, Medicaid, unemployment, Earned Income Credit, and a lot of other benefits, including the automatic citizenship of the parents once the child becomes an adult. The reason anchor babies get to become U.S citizens is because of the 14th amendment which states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction there of, are citizens of the United States and of the State where in they reside.“ Anchor babies

  17. It’s not fair that a legal American family with a sick child and can’t afford the medical bills it needs to keep their child healthy. But at the same time isn’t eligible for Medicaid because they make $1.00 an hour. But, if their baby had been born an immigrant, they would have automatically been eligible for Medicaid. What kind of message is this? Law-abiding parents cannot get medical help for their children who desperately need it but all an immigrant child has to do is be blessed with illegal immigrant parents. Anchor Babies cont.

  18. “to the president: if you want to deliver on your unwavering commitment to immigration reform, write a bill,” the senator said “You write the bill, send it to the House. See what happens, because I don’t think you have much of a chance of getting it through the Senate.” government
