IMMIGRATION

The future of immigration in America is inseparable from our sense of how closely we want to live and how diverse we want our society to be. The critical issue is how much we care about the well being of immigrants compared with that of our U.S. Citizens. At the present rate of mass immigration the US population will double within the lifetimes of today’s children. Due to mass immigration the United States population is now growing at a faster rate than China.

The US Census Bureau reports that the number of foreign-born persons in the US surged to 28.4 million in 2000 (there are strong indications this is a big under-count). In New York City, 54% of the population is either an immigrant or the children of immigrants. The figure increases to 62% in the Los Angles metropolitan area and is an astounding 72% in Miami. What supports such astronomical numbers of immigrants, and what are the long-term effects of these numbers likely to be? Their main support comes from supplying cheap labor for the employing class, who eagerly clamor for the abundant, diligent, docile, vulnerable, and lower and lower cost of labor offered by having huge numbers of immigrants, especially illegal aliens.

The short-term gain for the elite employing class is obvious, but many of the long-term consequences are not so obvious. For instance, one consequence alone is the immigrant’s following generations. One out of five people in the US aged 18 or under (over 14 million and a rapidly rising number) are immigrants or children of immigrants. Large numbers of these children are growing up under severe disadvantages in the US society. The low wages that attract employers to the immigrants translates into poverty and inferior schooling for most low wage immigrant’s children.

Children born to cheap labor immigrants are often caught between the pitiful jobs held by
their parents and an American future blocked by a lack of resources and suitable training; add to
that the effects of race discrimination and the stage is set for serious trouble.

Today the US has millions of inner-city young people who are either unemployed, underemployed, or unemployable, along with an additional hundreds of thousands of young people of ethnic heritage that are in over crowded prisons. This underclass of people did not “just happen,” much of it is the direct result of earlier generations of cheap labor migration; labor, then as now, that willingly supplied cheap labor for the elite employing class. As the immigrant’s children and grandchildren grew up, most found the road to the American middle class blocked by poverty, lack of higher education or training, and discrimination. Generations of redundant entrapment of many of these immigrant’s children has resulted in the development of much of the inner-city nightmarish world of drugs, gangs, and violence that exists in many of our nation’s cities.

Today’s cheap labor’s children are encountering similar, and often even more difficult conditions of blocked opportunity and external discrimination than did many that came before them. Today’s “information age” jobs require ever more education and training which is not attainable for most cheap labor immigrant’s offspring. Therefore, cheap labor generations are likely to continue their legacy of cheap labor. Many of those who are of the cheap labor generations respond individually to their underclass conditions by turning to drug gangs and street cultures that are quickly becoming a scourge to our society.

Indeed, the short-term economic benefits of cheap labor immigration for the employing class are easy to understand, but many of the long-term consequences are borne by the immigrant’s children and by our society as a whole. If the few of the elite employing class are permitted to continue to sate their addiction to cheap labor, we should all be aware of, and held responsible for, what is likely to come next. Cheap labor immigrants and their following generations are people, not just labor, and they cannot be easily dismissed when their work is done. The aftermath of cheap labor immigration depends on what happens to their following generations. The prospects appear very bleak for many individually and for our society as a whole as well.

By refusing to control immigration, the New World Order controlled Washington puppet politicians are writing a script for ethnic isolation and strife; a script for cultural conflict that can lead to ethnic civil war.

Today, with 20% of the US population being either foreign born or children of foreign born, immigration creates an enormous fiscal burden on the United States and it’s citizens, a burden that Congress has levied upon us citizens through short-sighted haphazardly policy making. By picking up the tab for their support, Congress has decided that we American people will serve as the sponsor for many immigrants; support that will cost a projected $866 billion between 1997 and 2006. Reportedly, around 400,000 foreigners collect disability benefits without having to work one day in the United States, with immigrants getting Medicaid benefits 64% more often than our citizens, along with immigrants being 50% more likely to be on welfare, and 75% more likely to get food stamps, medical benefits and housing assistance than native citizens. Reportedly, immigrants cost US born workers $133 billion a year in job and wage losses. All told, non-citizens now collect nearly $7 billion annually in US taxpayer benefits.

With immigration laws that allow immigrants to enter and stay in the United States while living on public dole, it is easy to understand why the number of poor people in the US was 40% higher in the 1990s than it was in the 1970's, and the number is rapidly rising, partially due to the federal government compensating so-called “voluntary agencies” for importing immigrants. Some US counties have reported that up to 70% of the immigrant residents use welfare, which is 16 times the use of natives; and yes, the number of new immigrant residents is continuing to escalate rapidly. The 2000 census indicated that in Cass County, Illinois the immigrant population increased by nearly 2000% just since 1990; also the Hispanic population alone has grown by 70% in Illinois since 1990.

In the next 50 years the US population is projected to increase by around 50%, and new immigration will be responsible for 62% of our population growth. The United States has the fastest rate of population growth of any developed nation; as a result, we are destroying our forests, depleting our aquifers, losing valuable topsoil, and polluting our water and air at an alarming rate. Much of this destruction is to meet the demands of a growing population. Unless we take steps to sharply reduce current levels of immigration, we will be condemning future generations to a more crowded environmentally degraded, and resource-poor existence.

Without immigration, the United States would be well on its way toward having a stable population, which is the key to controlling damage to the environment. With a stable population level our society could focus on improving our country’s quality of life. But present immigration policies ensures that a stable population level will not happen. As the population continues to escalate there will be less and less of the good life for us all while we race closer to destroying our country’s environment.

The present mass immigration into the US is not beneficial to our countries fiscal well-being, or our peoples health and safety, and mass immigration is very detrimental to our nation’s laboring class economy. The National Academy of Science found that, due to mass immigration, there is an estimated net drain of tax resources from between 67 and 87 billion dollars a year. We native taxpayers are virtually paying taxes for more profit for those who employ immigrants in low wage and poor work condition jobs.

The cost of immigration is not simply a tax bill, but a deterioration of our quality of life as well. Mass immigration into the US is worsening the crime problem, affecting public health and safety, increasing ethnic tension and widening the language gap to name only a few adverse effects mass immigration has on our society.

On average, immigrants pay considerable lower taxes than the rest of the population. Overall, native households pay additional taxes to support many of the immigrant households. Reportedly, in California, the cost is $1,778, and rising, to each native household.

In high immigration cities the share of overcrowded housing is 7 times higher than low immigration cities.

Massive numbers of immigrants have no health insurance, and the cost of their health care is passed on to the public, causing billions of dollars drain from the Medicaid and Medicare Funds.

Hundreds of thousands of children are born to immigrants after they come to the US, which makes the children automatic US citizens, thus virtually making their citizenship a license for welfare. The Colorado Medicare program paid $30 million to cover the birthing expenses of 6000 illegal alien women in 2001 alone. Half the births at the Denver Health Hospital were to illegal aliens. In California, illegal alien mothers accounted for 36% of all Medi-Cal funded births. Non contributing Medicare Fund illegal alien Medicare users are depleting the Medicare Fund that many citizens have paid into for decades; thus putting those senior citizens health care coverage at risk. The gap between native and immigrant rate of welfare use has doubled in the last ten years. Immigrant use of some form of welfare benefits in 1996 alone came to $180 billion.

As a result of the number of foreign-born people doubling in one generation there is an ever increasing bulk of unassimilated people in the United States, a pattern that almost ensures growing social conflict among the population. You must support reform that will drastically reduce mass immigration, unless you want your children and grandchildren to suffer the consequences of a population explosion. Consequences such as: massive expansion of urban sprawl, high social tension, tragic environmental degradation, and living in unimaginable congestion.

Many of the problems with mass immigration have already become obvious. For instance, land the size of Delaware (1.3 million acres) is being taken out of agriculture use annually; current projections suggest a tripling of traffic congestion by the year 2005. Mass immigration means a further loss of clean water supplies, and ever more environmental degradation. Most likely the US has already exceeded its sustainable population level. Therefore, we must now take firm and responsible measures to minimize further population explosion and environmental degradation.

An estimated 1,774 acres are “developed” every week due to immigration population growth. Our nation’s recent population growth has been between 2 & 3 million people a year, with around 50% being due to immigration. In 1998 we added 70% more immigrants than in 1972. In 1996 immigrants accounted for 61% of that years population growth. According to the US Census Bureau, the US population will double over the next century, and immigration will be responsible for two-thirds of that population increase. The Census Bureau has reported, "Even if immigration were stopped today, momentum would cause the US population to continue to grow for another 100 years. The societal strain, the economic difficulty, the environmental havoc caused by such a doubling of our nation’s population is unimaginable. Many Americans already live at population densities that are among the highest on earth.

The United States must stabilize the population growth if it is to control environmental degradation. No amount of conservation efforts can succeed if the population does not subside. Our nation must reduce the current level of immigration if we are to bequeath a stable population to our children. No amount of lifestyle changes will be able to compensate for an ever-growing population. The sheer growing numbers of people and their consumption of resources is the greatest threat to a sustainable environment.

The Census Bureau says the US population will double within the lifetime of children born today, with 90% of this growth coming from immigrants and their descendants. As our population grows it consumes more of everything-land, water, species’ habitat-while producing ever-increasing amounts of pollution and environmental waste. Population growth is greatly accelerating the permanent loss of our nation’s farmlands, forests, and other open spaces.

The shortsighted federal policies that admit immigrants for the wrong reasons have become harmful to our country. This high-immigration policy is designed to please some ethnic politicians, immigration lawyers, whose numbers have tripled (7500) in the past ten years alone, with some charging fees up to $550 an hour; also, there are those cheap labor advocates, and others who profit from the high immigration flow, which is not designed to benefit our nation’s citizens.

The Immigration Extension Act (H.R.1885) encourages possibly millions of illegal aliens to remain in this country while they apply for legal permanent residency. Because H.R.1885 does not require immigrant homeland background checks many terrorists, criminals, spies, and disease carriers will reside en masse legally in the US with the passage of H.R.1885. Voting citizens should resent this political treachery and irresponsibility and vote those nefarious politicians who support H.R.1885 out of office. Many of those same Washington puppet politicians rail against the low-wage and unemployment status of the millions of Americans, all the while they encourage even lower-paid immigrant workers into the US as a means of enhancing profits for their campaign contribution controlled puppet masters.

Illegal aliens exploit Americans in many ways. For example, under federal law illegal aliens must receive emergency medical treatment even though they cannot pay their medical bills, thus costing paying patients more, in order to compensate for those who do not pay their medical bills.

I, Vic Roberts, believe that in 1990 the New World Order commanded their campaign contribution, legally bought and controlled, Washington puppet politicians to greatly increase the immigration flow into the US; accordingly, since the 1990s annual immigration has tripled, with over a million new immigrants coming into the United States annually. From 1990 to 1995 legal immigrants entered the US at a higher rate than any other time in history, that is legal immigrants only; tens of thousands, probably hundreds of thousands, have crossed the border illegally also. From 1990 to 1994 as many immigrants came to the US as in the entire 1970s. Reportedly, the vast majority of illegal aliens enter the US legally with “nonimmigrant” visas, and simply stay. The INS estimates that there are 120,000 legal immigrant border crossings a day; well over 35 million a year, other reports indicate the number is around 550 million border crossings each year.

Thanks to the New World Order’s campaign contribution controlled Washington puppet politicians, there are 56 types of nonimmigrant visas, permitting various branches of government to grant those visas according to the desires of their New World Order puppet masters. The State Dept., in 1997 alone, issued almost 6 million nonimmigrant visas; many of those visas were valid for both residence and work as well. At embassies and consulates around the world, the USState Dept. hires foreign nationals to hand out millions of visas, like the kind used by the Sept. 11 World Trade Center terrorists, with no system for tracking foreigners.

The INS has largely abandoned so-called “work site enforcement” operations involving arresting and deporting illegal workers; INS statistics indicate that work site raids and arrests have plummeted over 90% from the early 1990s. Then there are those New World Order controlled Washington puppet politician’s virtual indentured servant immigrant worker visa programs: the H-1B and the H-2A, with the H-2C program in the legislative process. The H-1B program encourages employers to import, basically on the employers terms (up to 195,000 annually for 3 years) highly educated and skilled workers from around the world. Incidentally, the INS is permitting unemployed H-1B immigrants to stay in the US, which is in defiance of the Congressional mandate that unemployed H-1B visa holders are to return to their country of origin. The H-2A immigrant worker visa program encourages employers to import annually up to 43,000 immigrant farm workers, often into abusive conditions. Incidentally, workplace deaths in 2000 increased (from 1992) 53 % among Hispanics, while the non-Hispanic worker death rate decreased by 10%. Experts say that much of the cause is due to language gaps between supervisors and immigrant workers. The proposed H-2C immigrant farm worker visa program legislation encourages employers to import up to one million Third World immigrant farm workers annually; please visit my web page on LABOR for more details on these nefarious, tragic for us American laboring class people, immigrant worker importation programs.

Presently, mass immigration is contributing greatly to a surplus of cheap labor which is in turn lowering the wages and work conditions for all US workers; thus effectively lowering the standard of living for our citizen workers. Immigrant median income is about 23% less than the national median income. Twenty-three percent of immigrants live below the poverty line; that is 60% more than natives. Among immigrants, 20% need some kind of public assistance, which is 50% higher than the national average. Their unemployment rate is one-third higher than natives’ level of unemployment. As a natural result of their economic situation, overcrowding in housing is 7 time higher in high immigration cities than low immigration cities.

There is always the threat that our society is exposed to additional disease that may accompany the immigrants. A recent report indicated that immigrants accounted for 42% of the 18,361 cases of tuberculosis reported in 1998, and 43% of the 7,500 new cases of TB reported in 1999, even though they represented only 12% of the population. From 2000 to 2001 there was a 57% increase in TB cases in Northern Virginia. Four out of five Minnesota tuberculosis patients are foreign born, the TB cases originated in 53 different countries. High immigrant concentration areas are areas of high hepatitis incidence, the same is true with rubella cases.

The Centers for Disease Control recently announced the US discovery of a deadly parasitic disease known as Chagas. Previously Chagas was known to exist only in Latin American countries, where there are more than 16 million people known to be infected with Chagas. The presence of Chagas in the US was brought to the attention of CDC officials when two nonimmigrant US patients died from Chagas infection. Because of mass immigration into the US from Latin American countries, health officials estimate there is likely to be around 100,000 infected immigrants in the US today. Health officials admit they do not know how to prevent Chagas from spreading.

While the Bush administration is sending American troops all over the world in the name of combating terrorism, our Washington puppet politician’s immigration policies are encouraging hundreds of thousands of potential terrorists to enter the US somewhat freely, this is happening while the FBI and INS are trying to locate several hundred suspected terrorists cells already in existence in the US. Why are the Washington puppet politicians virtually ignoring the multitude of adverse effects mass immigration has on our people and our nation as they continue to encourage mass immigration into the US? The answer is simple, that is what their big campaign contribution puppet masters want. WAKE UP AMERICA and have a ballot box revolution that will evict those nefarious puppet politicians from public office.

Mass immigration is responsible for a large part of our nation’s growing problem of people without health insurance; consequently, welfare costs are passed on to us taxpayers, making it more difficult to help the uninsured already here.

Immigrants are now 12% of our population, and they are over 22% of our poor population. In the next 50 years our population is expected to reach 400 million people, and 70% of that growth is expected to be due to immigration. The 2000 census shows the US population has grown to over 281 million people; up 13.2%, over 33 million people, in the past 10 years alone, 70% of that growth was due to immigration. Immigration growth is growing 6.5 times faster than the native born population, which is causing problems with cultural assimilation of concentrated immigrant populations. This is creating foreign cultural enclaves within the US. Emphasis on multiculturalism makes assimilation of concentrated immigrant populations difficult, and reinforcing the belief of millions of Americans that their culture is being overrun from abroad and overturned from within. Thus suggesting that the real meaning of cultural diversity is the extinction of the American heritage and its replacement by others, all of which is a script for cultural conflict that can lead to ethnic civil war.

Because of an unending wave of immigrants the number of students in the United States is reaching historical highs; two-thirds of our nation’s growth is due to immigration. One out of every five students entering class rooms in the fall of 2000 were either foreign born or the offspring of an immigrant. In California, half the students were children of immigrants, costing taxpayers $3.5 billion a year to educate school age children of immigrants. Dade County, Florida statistics confirm that 17,509 foreign-born students were admitted between July 1, 1999 and April 10, 2000, with Miami schools accepting 1,200 new foreign-born students every month. The share of students who are foreign-born or who have an immigrant parent has tripled in the past 30 years. Las Vegas has doubled its school enrollment in the past 10 years alone, and it is projected that there will be a 77% increase in high school students in Nevada over the next ten years, with a 56% increase expected in Arizona.

With America’s school system already overcrowded, mostly due to mass immigration, there are 6 million more children is school than 10 years ago, and that number is expected to rise dramatically during the foreseeable future. Without school-age immigrants and the children of immigrants US school enrollments would not be rising at all.

Los Angeles school officials project they will need 100 new schools in the next 10 years to accommodate the ever growing number of students. More than 80% of the enormous growth that is overwhelming California’s schools is due to immigration. Along with the astronomical construction costs for new schools comes the permanent maintenance costs, which will include the salaries for new teachers; all of which quickly become additional colossal tax burdens for us already overtaxed US citizens, which in turn make us individuals all the more indentured servants to our tax law writing politicians, which in turn continues to make us of the American struggling masses all the poorer and more subservient to our slave master, the tax collector. Many of our nation’s schools are already running 150% above their designed capacity. Existing conditions clearly evidence the fact that immigration is putting a severe strain on our nation’s education system, and us school district taxpayers. The estimated cost to the American taxpayer for educating immigrant children is over $30 billion a year.

Incidentally, in the fall of 2001 nearly 660,000 and in 2002 around 1 million foreign nationals held student visas in the United States (their location mostly unknown), thus making it more difficult for American students to gain access to an educational institution of their choice. Under the “F1" student visa program students from foreign countries are allowed to come to the US under temporary “nonimmigrant” visas. Many foreign students are granted financial aid from US sources. Between 1988 and 1992, alien college students received almost $2 billion in federal PELL grants for higher education. I, Vic Roberts, believe that US taxpayer funded PELL grant money should have gone only to American students to aid in their quest for higher education rather than to foreigners. Already more than a third of science Ph.Ds coming out of graduate schools are foreign students, many US taxpayer assisted. An estimated 50% of those foreign students will stay in the US after getting their degree. Incidentally, the Board of Regents for the University of California has approved a plan that lowers the tuition rate for illegal immigrants from $15,000 to
$4000.

Not only do foreign students make it more difficult for native students to attend schools of their choice, but because of the H-1B visa program (which is presently flooding the US hi-tech job market) many native students will lose job opportunities to those same foreign students as well. To me, Vic Roberts, it is ludicrous that nearly 2 billion US tax dollars have already been used to subsidize around 75,000 foreign nationals in gaining their Ph.Ds at American universities, especially when many of those subsidized students will be given US jobs because industry CEO’s claim there is a shortage of qualified Americans for those jobs. How many Americans could not afford the education those jobs required; while our government was subsidizing foreign students US educations?

Since 1990 millions of foreign workers have been thrown into competition for US jobs; this has an adverse affect on local labor markets considering immigrants, especially illegal aliens, will normally work longer hours for less pay, and are less likely to try to unionize their work place. The increased supply of labor relative to demand weakens the competitive position of labor. An Academy of Science study concluded that 44% of the decline in real wages of high school dropouts from 1980 to 1995 was due to immigrants competing for entry level jobs. Some employers intentionally replace native workers with immigrants for the benefit of cheaper and more easily exploited labor. Employers have been known to use immigrant workers as scab labor strike breakers.

Eighty percent of immigrants tend to be low skilled and poorly educated. The number of working-age immigrants without a high school diploma increased from 2.8 million in 1989 to 5.1 million in 1997, while the number of US born high school dropouts fell from 20 million to 13 million. Thus by the mid-1990s, low-skilled immigrants, legal and illegal, were 30% of the 18 million US workers without a high school diploma, more than three times the rate of natives. Two-thirds of immigrant workers in the US did not attend high school, and 20% speak no English. Between 1979 and 1997, the average hourly wages of high school dropouts fell by 26%, resulting in a 36% increase in poverty among the less-educated working-age immigrants. Government research suggests that 50% of wage-loss among low-skilled Americans is due to immigration of low-skilled cheap labor workers. The mass importation of low-skilled cheap labor through immigration damages the job market, and costs us taxpayers billions of dollars a year, thus subsidizing profits for low-wage employers.

Research indicates that the few jobs immigration creates are often for other immigrants at the expense of American workers.

Hundreds of thousands of American workers are displaced from their jobs every year by immigration. In 1997, while there were nearly 7.5 million unemployed American workers, the Immigration and Naturalization Service admitted 798,000 legal immigrants, with the US government subsidizing the entry of many, also tens of thousands of illegal immigrants entered the US with very little government resistance.

Today we are in the information age when there is a large surplus of unskilled labor. We have long since settled the last frontiers, also the industrial revolution with it’s need for large pools of unskilled labor no longer exists. Today’s industrial needs demand skilled and highly educated workers. Yet our nation’s immigration policies admit mostly unskilled workers (many who speak little to no English) who are poorly educated for the “information age” job demands. In 1998, 72% of the legal immigrants admitted into the US was admitted simply because they had a US relative. Between 1980 and 1994 the number of working-age immigrants without a high school diploma jumped from 2.8 to 5.1 million. High immigration cities have an education dropout rate that is 60% higher than low immigration cities, in some areas the dropout rate is as high as 75% for immigrant students.

We have millions of people either unemployed, or involuntarily working at part time, or temporary jobs. We have many more millions of people working at pay levels below the poverty level. Due to 25% of new entrants into the work force being foreign born, many high immigrant concentration areas have sweatshop economies. A recent survey indicated that 70% of sweatshop workers were illegal immigrants. The US population is comprised of 30% unskilled labor; in California that number is 52% with Texas approaching that number with 50%.

Eighty percent of the children born in the San Diego County Hospital in California in the early 1990s were offspring of newly arrived immigrants; these babies are immediately granted US citizenship and these new “citizens” are immediately eligible for welfare benefits. In Los Angeles County, California in the early 1990s there was over a quarter million illegal alien “citizen” welfare cases; today 63% of births in Los Angles County hospitals are to illegal alien mothers. California spends a billion dollars per year for free medical care for illegal aliens.

Immigrants constitute 35% to 40% of California’s growth. Due to over 1/3rd of the new Californians being foreign born, California got 6 new US Representatives after the 1990 census. The 2000 census indicates that the high immigration states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, and Texas will all gain additional congressional seats due to their almost 245% rise in population since 1990; those additional congressional seats due to immigration are seats gained at the expense of low immigration states.

Some say that, as a matter of fairness, it is hard for folks to understand how they can be losing political representation in Congress to the millions of people who have crashed our borders and entered the US illegally. The Federation of American Immigration Reform (www.fairus.org) has sued the Census Bureau to get it to stop including illegal aliens in the numbers used to apportion seats in Congress.

With current US immigration policies favoring relatives in under developed countries, and away from skilled admission (under 10% are being admitted on the basis of their skills), the flow of immigrants is increasingly composed of the unskilled and under educated, thus lowering the overall earning power of the immigrant population; therefore, many will qualify for many welfare programs. The total number of people in immigrant households living in poverty has tripled during the last 18 years. The poverty rate is 50% higher for immigrants than that of natives, accounting for 22% of persons living in poverty in the US

No technologically advanced industrial nation that has many millions of illiterate and marginally literate adults need fear a shortage of unskilled workers in the foreseeable future.
Immigration is a major contributor to the growth of adult illiteracy in the United States.

The potential exists for the creation of a large new underclass of workers in our society, composed mostly of less skilled immigrants, who will be accorded all the benefits of government assistance. The policy implication is clear: a welfare state cannot afford large scale immigration of less skilled persons. The depressing effect of immigrants on our society is evidenced in the statistics that indicate that immigrant households living in poverty are about 73% higher than in native households. The growth of immigration related poverty accounted for about 75% of the increase in the poor between 1989 and 1997. By 1997 recent immigrant households living in poverty had risen over 29%. About 96% of the increase in children living in poverty in the 1970's was due to children in immigrant households, and elderly immigrant use of welfare has increased by 400% in the last ten years alone.

In 1996 the rate of immigrant welfare use exceeded native use by 47%, and immigrant use of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, which provides cash benefits for the blind, disabled and low income elderly, is a staggering 76% higher than our citizens use. The number of immigrants collecting US dollars from SSI increased an alarming colossal 580% between 1984 and 1996. The SSI money comes directly from the budget of our Social Security and Medicare programs, leaving our elderly citizens at risk by giving the money they paid into the system for years to non-citizens. In order to help compensate for the additional burden that mass immigration is putting on our Medicare insurance program, the Bush administration is attempting to cut benefits for our citizens, many of whom have paid into the system for almost 4 decades.

Welfare benefits cost US taxpayers about $368 billion in 1996 alone, that was almost 17% of the national budget; even larger than the outlandish defense budget; also, the states provided an additional $107 billion in welfare payments as well. A recent study indicates that welfare costs have risen to an incredible $407 billion a year. Between 1995 and now welfare costs to us US taxpayers is over $7 trillion, and rapidly rising. Yet, just as many people are living below the poverty level today as 35 years ago. The United States has a known 36.5 million poor people, a number that will continue to rise as long as the Washington politicians continue to assist in the massive immigrant invasion of the United States.

The war on poverty has been made unwinnable by immigration policies that imports poverty en masse through immigration. Due to mass immigration the US population growth now exceeds that of China. The results of today’s immigration will swell the ranks of the poor in this country by the tens of millions. With our nation’s welfare budget already strained for our own citizens, how then can we handle the load of those masses who simply seek a better life here, at the expense of our citizens, and why should we?

Mass immigration imports poverty that breeds crime. A Feb.15, 2002 investigative report issued by the US General Accounting Office (GOA) indicated that fraud was “pervasive and significant” among the immigrant population. The GOA reported that 90 percent of 5000 petitions for workers were fraudulent. According the GOA report, "An official of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) operations branch stated: That a follow-up analysis of about 1500 petitions found only one...that was not fraudulent.” Congressional investigators found that immigration fraud is now so extensive it “threatens the integrity of the legal immigration system.” The GOA investigative report said immigration fraud “will increase as smugglers and other criminal enterprises use fraud as another means of bringing illegal aliens, including criminal aliens, into the country.” The GOA report indicated: Fraud is “rampant” and they “believe that some aliens are using the benefit application process to enable them to carry out...crimes of violence, narcotics trafficking and terrorism” in this country. Already some 314,000 criminal aliens, court ordered to be deported, have simply disappeared into the general population without our government seriously attempting to pursue them.

Indeed, mass immigration contributes to poverty that breeds crime, especially drug trafficking. In 1998, INS officials confiscated almost $1,900 million in illegal drugs from drug smuggling immigrants. Two-thirds of the deportations of aliens made in 1996 were for criminal connections, often narcotic violations; immigration has become the principle vehicle for drug smuggling. Eighty percent of felony drug arrests in Salt Lake City, Utah are illegal aliens. With immigrants being only 12% of the US population they accounted for over 20% of the Federal court cases in 1999, with 29% of the inmates in Federal prisons being aliens, and in 2000 alone there was 82 foreign nationals on death row in the United States. Six months after the 9-11-01 atrocity the INS approved student visas for two of the Sept. 11th skyjackers who flew planes into the World Trade Center Towers killing thousands. Also, the INS has been releasing thousands of criminal aliens it was supposed to deport, of which over one-third of them have committed new crimes afterwards, crimes such as homicides, sexual assaults, and robberies to name only a few.
The Bush administration can bomb every nation in the world in the name of “war on terrorism” but until we control our own borders and know that many within our borders are not sworn enemies of our people and our civilization, we should have no illusions that we are going to win any war against terrorism. The great Roman Senator and orator Cicero spoke words of great wisdom when he said,“A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious but it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves among those within freely.”

America’s present immigration laws and policies are dangerous for our people, as evidenced by the fact that high immigration cities were found to have twice as much violent crime as low immigration cities, making criminal aliens a growing threat to our public safety, as well as a drain on our nation’s scarce criminal justice resources. In 1998 alone 106,000 criminal inmates were deported from the US. Illegal immigrants are 10 times more likely to commit a crime than legal residents. Since 1980, California has incurred a 600% increase in alien inmates, and has spent over a billion dollars in just 5 years to keep convicted felon illegal immigrants in prison.

Proliferation of alien criminal gangs is a growing problem across the US. Many of these gangs are nationalistic criminal organizations that are establishing beachheads for international organized crime syndicates that are threatening our personal and national well being. Global godfathers, with their highly organized criminal enterprises, are recruiting immigrants to become foot-soldiers in their criminal armies. The global godfathers are exploiting our nation’s hideous immigration laws and policies to create new, as well as exploiting the old, national and international crime problems. There is good reason to believe that international godfathers are even sponsoring many of their future international leaders into the US by way of our nation’s very lax student immigration laws, policies, and privileges.

One of the most immediate effects of our country’s absurdly high immigration level is the growth of groups of people who are not assimilated into our national culture. This leads to a worsening of ethnic separation and ghetto conditions, along with their related problems. A natural result of unassimilated ethnic populations are cultural conflicts, ethnic strife and further separation of people and their cultures. Retardation of ethnic assimilation often results in ghetto conditions, which is a huge and growing problem in many areas of our nation. In some ethnic enclaves the population speaks little to no English, which severely impairs their capacity to assimilate, which in turn contributes to further ethnic separation, ghettoization, and a growing security threat of ethnic strife. Language and cultural differences alone are often major causes of racial and ethnic strife among many US residents.

In 1991 the United Nations released it’s first major report on over population and its link to the disastrous deterioration on our global commons. The United Nations projects the world’s population to rise from 6 billion now to about 9.4 billion by the year 2100. Most demographers, who have historically been on the conservative side of reality, agree there is likely to be 3 billion more people on the planet Earth in the next 50 years; also, demographers tell us that the world population is increasing at a rate of over a quarter of a million a day; the world’s population has doubled just since 1950.

Our nation’s and world’s carrying capacity have already been exceeded. Populations are already damaging planetary life support systems such as fresh water, clean air, fertile top soil and accessible minerals. We Americans maintain our lavish lifestyle only by importing massive quantities of energy resources; for example, 57% of the US oil supplies are imported, recently contributing around $11 billion a month to our nation’s staggering, and unsustainable, rate of around $445 billion annual trade deficits; also, we are extracting our own natural resources at unsustainable levels.

The 1991 United Nation’s report on population and the environment persuasively laid out scientific evidence linking human population and consumption patterns and the ongoing ruination of our biosphere. The effects of such deterioration in terms of real human suffering such as starvation, economic expansion and crime, are becoming increasingly apparent. Meanwhile the United States increases it’s human population by around 3 million per year, of which 1.2 to 1.9 million are immigrants. The Census Bureau projects the US population will be 383 million by 2050, and will more than double by the year 2100. Migration from abroad will add nearly 300 million people to the US population during the next century. Moreover, immigration into the US means higher consumption rates globally and higher fertility rates nationally. Immigrants tend to bring with them the reproductive habits of their societies, thus they have larger families of super consumers. The birth rate of foreign born women is nearly double that of US born women.

Immigration driven urban sprawl is an accomplice in the rapid devouring of America’s countryside and quality of life; a study indicated that a 16% increase in population resulted in 40% more land use; precious land we are already losing at a rate of over 2 acres a minute. The Washington puppet politicians tragic immigration laws and policies have added immensely to urban sprawl, over crowded schools, traffic congestion and pollution, along with depleted natural resources. We do neither our homeland nor our planet, including it’s human members, a favor by acting as a continuing sponge for immigrants from other lands. In doing so, we retard impetus behind population and economic reforms in other nations, while seriously reducing the present and future basis for taking care of those who live here now, including recent immigrants. Large numbers of immigrants now enter an America ill equipped to house or employ them adequately. Many immigrants join an exploited permanent underclass trapped in poverty and joblessness, or are under employed.

Growth in America cannot continue indefinitely; one way or another, runaway consumption and population growth will be halted. The longer the delay in taking aggressive, tenacious actions, the more draconian the ultimate solutions will be. We must take action now to ensure that our population does not grow to unsustainable numbers for a decent standard of living, a standard of living that will not destroy our fellow living creatures. To fail in this effort betrays the trust of our future generations who will inherit the earth we have borrowed.

Every year more than 90 million people are added to the world’s population, most of them in countries already incapable of supporting their population; are we going to permit the United States of America to become one of them also?

There are many of us Americans who regret the loss of a less crowded country and a more homogeneous culture. We are prone to be labeled racists because we believe we have the moral and ethical right to make the decision that the United States is what we prefer to the alternative that is being created by mass immigration of those who simply seek a country with more opportunity for themselves. What is racist about citizens choosing to maintain a standard of living and culture that can be maintained only through strict immigration control? Why should we citizens sacrifice our society in order to please those who would improve their own standard of living at our expense, and why should we?

As a US Senator I, Vic Roberts, would work diligently to substantially reduce overall numbers of immigrants, legal and illegal alike. I would work to implement an improved national documents system for verifying work eligibility, and make it an enforced Federal offense to knowingly harbor an illegal alien or aliens. I would work to deny offspring of illegal aliens automatic citizenship, as well as repeal Federal Mandates requiring health and education services for illegal immigrants. In other words, I favor treating illegal aliens as the criminals they are.

There is presently support building for amnesty for the many millions, and rapidly rising number, of illegal alien workers in the US. Also, some advocate nullifying the requirement that employers hire only documented migrants. I believe this would be a tragic mistake for the long term welfare of America’s laboring class people, and our nation as a whole. Those actions would only encourage potential illegal aliens to become more aggressive and determined to enter the US, thus creating even more illegal aliens to deal with. I, Vic Roberts, believe our nation’s immigration policies and treatment of illegal immigrants should reflect the criminal status that exists as a means of discouraging potential illegal alien entry.
In 1986, Congress granted amnesty to 2.7 million illegal immigrants, who in turn have brought in an additional 142,000 dependents so far. The amnesty permanently added millions of poor to our society. The average amnestied illegal alien had only a 7^th grade education, and annual income of less than $9,000 a year, $500 of which was sent to their homeland; another drain on our nation’s economy-reportedly $33 billion in the 1990s, and with remittances from the US estimated to be as high as $20 billion in 2000 alone. The net cost of amnesty to American taxpayers, after 10 years, was around $78 billion.

Amnesty is a reward for lawbreaking, and sends the message to potential illegal aliens that they will eventually be rewarded for their crime if they become illegal aliens in the United States; amnesty makes a mockery of the legal immigration process.

Immigration & Naturalization agents in the Eagle Pass, Texas area routinely report between 200-300 illegal alien apprehensions daily, with apprehensions in Douglas County, Arizona escalating to around 22,000 a month.

In 1996 there were almost 1,650,000 border apprehensions. An estimated 41% of the illegal aliens in the United States come in legally with temporary visitor visas and simply stay. These statistics clearly indicate that the Washington puppet politicians have not only ignored their Constitutional obligations to protect the citizens of the United States from foreign invasion but they are also aiding and abetting the invaders by constantly encouraging the invaders through their pro-immigration and anti-citizen legislation and mandates.

Due to the New World Order controlled Washington Puppet politician’s failure to provide needed personnel, the INS closed check points, which in 1999 alone was responsible for $23.5 million in drug seizures, along with the apprehension of hundreds of illegal aliens, many of whom were drug smugglers also. Studies indicate that border patrol staff needs to be doubled all along the US border. Studies indicate that at least 16,000 agents are needed along the Southwest border alone. Even though low staffing was a severe problem, yet between October of 1999 and September of 2000 Immigration and Naturalization Service agents apprehended 1.65 million illegal aliens, up more than 100,000 from the year before.

The illegal immigrant invasion has escalated to the point that some US/Mexico border citizens have formed vigilante (some would say patriot) groups to deal with the invasion as best they can. Reportedly, 1,200 Mexicans have been killed in US territory, and there is concern that number will rise with the growth of vigilante groups. How much worse will the illegal invasion become if, as predicted, the Mexican economy falters.

In 1965 the New World Order’s, campaign contribution legally bought and controlled, Washington puppet politicians conspired with their Mexican counterparts to establish a program called the “Border Industrialization Program,” commonly called “Maquiladoras.” According to the New World Order’s propagandists, the aim was to create work for impoverished Mexicans in the region closest to the border of the United States. In reality, the Maquiladoras was designed to be a New World Order tool to aid in their strategy for increasing colossal numbers of immigrants into the United States. The prospect for finding a Maquiladora job was designed to lure massive numbers of Mexican laborers to the US border. The New World Order’s controlled corporations then manipulates the Maquiladora work and living conditions to pressure the laborers into entering the US; an entry that is without consideration or care for how their entry affects the lives of US citizens.

The puppet politicians, who are controlled by the organized wealth of the Wall Street bankers, global financiers and industrialists, commonly known as the New World Order, have dutifully responded to their puppet master’s demand for immigration policies that are clearly disastrous for us of the US struggling masses, and the American heritage legacy we bequeath our children and grandchildren.
And why are the global financial Mafia, those evil empire Imperial Gods of the Global Economy, the New World Order, commanding their controlled Washington puppet politicians to aid and abet the immigrants in their invasion of the United States? The New World Order’s manipulated immigration invasion is a strategy being used to help dominate and subjugate all of us who are not their disciples. Basically, the New World Order’s manipulated immigrant invasion is making them richer and more powerful while making us of the struggling masses, poorer and weaker. Also, while we citizens are fighting the massive immigrant invasion we are not fighting other New World Order projects such as: FTAA, NAFTA, WTO, World Bank, IMF, World Court, UN, Federal Reserve Bank, GATT, and free trade policies, especially the Permanent Normal Trade Relations Status with China legislation.

There are those who say, "Among the many motives behind the New World Order’s strategy for mass importation of, mostly poorly educated and unskilled immigrants, many of whom speak little to no English, is to help “dumb-down” the American struggling masses, for the purpose of molding a more submissive and easily controlled American people.” Also, many immigrants are likely to be a dependable source of strategically located mercenary soldiers within the US borders, in event there is a patriot uprising when the New World Order’s controlled United Nations organization attempt to take possession of their already proclaimed sovereignty over the United States of America (please visit my web page on the United Nations).

How can we of the American struggling masses destroy the great power of the organized wealth of the global financial Mafia, the New World Order’s evil empire? I, Vic Roberts, believe the answer lies in a ballot-box revolution; a revolution that will return the constitutional coining and valuing of money to the Congress of the United States (please visit my web page on Federal Reserve Bank Reform). In order to accomplish this we must throw the New World Order’s, campaign contribution bought and controlled, Washington puppet politicians out of our government, which will require campaign finance reform that includes public financing of federal election campaigns, so that we can elect political leaders who will provide leadership for the common good of our citizens, and the general welfare of our great nation. How can we recognize the New World Order’s puppet politicians? Friends, know the tree by the fruit it bears; the more campaign money they have, when needed, the more likely they are to be puppet politicians. However, the acid test lies in their voting records, if they advocate New World Order projects, then we of the American struggling masses know, they must go.

The Federal Reserve Bank System is the main power source for the global financial Mafia of the Wall Street bankers, global financiers, and industrialists, collectively known as the New World Order. Take away their control of the Federal Reserve Bank System and we will have destroyed their main source of power; financial power used for their control of the world’s money and economy; thus giving sovereign nations the power to destroy their enemy, the evil empire of the financial Mafia, the New World Order.
I, Vic Roberts, harbor no personal ill-will toward those immigrants who come into the United States seeking a better life for themselves and their families; actually I respect their motive and ambition. However, for the sake of our country, our citizens and our coming generations, our government must make every effort to stop the massive immigrant invasion of our nation; the wrong is great, the remedy must be equally great. Since many New World Order controlled Washington puppet politicians are enemies from within, we must have a ballot box revolution that will evict those Washington puppet politicians because it is the right thing to do, for ourselves and posterity.

I, Vic Roberts, do indeed, harbor much ill-will toward those traitorous Washington puppet politicians who are aiding and abetting the immigrant invaders through their pro-immigrant and anti-citizen actions in Washington, D.C.; indeed, we US citizens must evict those Washington puppet politicians who are encouraging the legal and illegal immigrant invasion of the United States.

If we of the American struggling masses do not rise in a democratic revolution of righteous hostility for our own causes the evil empire of the New World Order will buy our domination and subjugation very cheaply.

Many illegal aliens are permitted to buy a visa for $1000 and legally remain in this country; yet, Cubans are legally free to remain in this country, without a fine, once they are on US soil. How long will it be before the fine paying immigrants sue the United States government on the grounds of discrimination; a plausible possibility brought on by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission when it issued a policy that extends anti-discrimination rights to illegal immigrant workers. I, personally, thought our government was suppose to deport illegal aliens rather than give them rights and benefits equal to our citizens. Speaking of suing the US government, families of 11 illegal aliens who died illegally crossing into Arizona from Mexico have filed a $41 million claim against 2 government agencies, saying the government’s refusal to put water out in the desert contributed to the immigrants deaths.

Legislation known as 245(i) allows certain illegal aliens to become eligible to be legal immigrants by paying a $1000 fine. The 245(i) status adjustment allow the illegal aliens to avoid criminal background checks in their home countries, this threatens our individual and national security in many ways. Permitting illegal aliens to buy their way into legal status for $1000 is quite a bargain for the aliens considering the price we citizens pay for their entry.

Friends, how would you like to be a defendant in a court case with your jurors having no firsthand knowledge of the evidence in the case? In New Mexico that is a definite possibility since a judge ruled that non-English speaking people could not be kept off juries, and required the court to provide interpreters to accompany jurors who do not speak English. The State Supreme Court upheld that decision; that ruling is borderline insanity at worst and grossly un-American at best. Our nation’s cultural language is English; therefore, all governmental and official transactions should be conducted in English only. Also, foreign languages should be taught only as second languages. When immigrants come into the US it is their responsibility to adapt themselves to English, our nation’s cultural language.

Your contribution to Vic Roberts for US Senator is an investment toward a strong voice in the Senate Halls of our great nation opposing the tragic immigration laws and policies that are being advocated by the New World Order’s campaign contribution controlled puppet politicians. Your contribution is an investment toward representation that will provide political leadership for the common good of our citizens, and the general welfare of our great nation; representation for the demise of the New World Order’s evil empire.

In the words of a great lady, Mother Jones, "Let us pray for the dead but fight like hell for the living.”
