			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mexico has an industry that has surpassed its oil export and tourism industry in revenues. This industry is netting Mexico in excess of 20 billion dollars per year. It has a growth rate of 10% a year. It has no stockholders. You can&#8217;t invest in it as there are no investors. It has no cost for health benefits, yet everyone has free health and maternity insurance. The cost of the health insurance is cast off to a foreign country&#8217;s taxpayers that sit in a state of hebetude. Mexico also has a trade deficit to this foreign country in excess of 45 billion dollars, as this country sits in a state of fiscal denial. The only limiting factor for the growth of this industry is the numerical limits of the citizenry of Mexico. Mexico has sent 10% of their population to this foreign country and is obviously limited as to how many Mexican citizens it can send out. This industry, as you may have deduced by now, is the illegal alien industry.</p>
<p><span id="more-84"></span></p>
<p>Over 20 billion dollars are sent from the U.S. to  Mexico each year and is growing at a rate of 10% per year.  62% of all illegal aliens in the U.S. are working for cash and not paying taxes and this money is sent out of our economy and into Mexico&#8217;s economy.</p>
<p>Is this a clandestine operation that operates in the shadows? No! The U.S. government has taken steps to perpetuate this fiscal insanity.</p>
<p>The Federal Reserve introduced Directo a Mexico in the fall of 2005 to allow U.S. financial institutions to utilize the Fed&#8217;s Automated Clearing House channel to remit payments to Mexico. Directo a MexicoSM (Direct to Mexico) is a joint marketing scheme between the Federal Reserve Banks and the Banco de Mexico. These are the two central banks of each country. This program is used to assist U.S. banks to increase their share of the rapidly growing U.S. to Mexico money transfers.</p>
<p>Even though document fraud is rampant in the  illegal alien business,  including, but not limited to, stolen or fabricated social security numbers which continues to bolster benefit fraud&#8211;unaudited Social Security benefits are being wired to Mexico at the rate of 26,000 payments each month.</p>
<p>Mexico likes to refer to these payments as remittances.   Vicente Fox summed up this booming industry with these words: &#8220;Remittances are our biggest source of foreign income, bigger than oil, tourism or foreign investment.&#8221;</p>
<p>One would suppose that converting the 20 plus million illegal aliens in the U.S to legal status would solve the problem. That could not be further from the truth. It would be an economic disaster:</p>
<blockquote><p>Illegal alien households are estimated to use $2,700 a year more in services than they pay in taxes, creating a total fiscal burden of nearly $10.4 billion on the federal budget in 2002.</p>
<p>If illegal aliens were legalized and began to pay taxes and use services like legal immigrants with the same education levels, the estimated annual fiscal deficit at the federal level would increase from $2,700 per household to nearly $7,700, for a total federal deficit of $29 billion.</p></blockquote>
<p>Not only would the economic burden on U.S. taxpayers triple,  the same amount of money would still leave the U.S. economy and end up in the Mexican economy.</p>
<p>Other than the cost of health care, Mexico&#8217;s largest industry is operating in an area of economic anomaly by deferring the cost of crime, social services and any other conceivable cost to the U.S.&#8211; and the U.S. accepts it with unconscious blitheness.   A few examples of the ICE and FBI stats were gathered from <a href="http://azresistance.wordpress.com/">azresistance</a>  :</p>
<blockquote><p>Dozens of hospitals in Texas, New Mexico Arizona, and California, have been forced to close or face bankruptcy because of federally-mandated programs requiring free emergency room services to illegal aliens.</p>
<p>Taxpayers pay half-a-billion dollars per year incarcerating illegal alien criminals.</p>
<p>F.A.I.R.  research shows &#8220;the net annual cost of immigration has been estimated at between $67 and $87 billion a year.</p>
<p>California paid for 74,987 deliveries to illegal alien mothers, at a total cost of $215.2 million (an average of $2,842 per delivery). Illegal alien mothers accounted for 36 percent of all Medi-Cal funded births in California that year.&#8221;<br />

<p>66 % of cited / stopped Drivers in New Mexico have NO License, NO Insurance, and NO Registration for the vehicle of that 66 %, over 98 % were ILLEGAL ALIENS.</p>
<p><strong>BIRTHS</strong></p>
<p>380,000 Plus &#8220;ANCHOR BABIES&#8221; were born in the U.S. in 2005 to ILLEGAL ALIEN PARENTS, making 380,000 babies automatically U.S. Citizens.  97.2% of all costs incurred from those births were paid for by American taxpayers.</p>
<p>66 %, TWO THIRDS of all births in California are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by American taxpayers.</p>
<p><strong>HOUSING</strong>.</p>
<p>Nearly 60 % of all occupants of HUD properties in the United States are illegal aliens.</p>
<p><strong>SCHOOLS</strong></p>
<p>34% plus of Arizona students in grades 1-12 are illegal aliens and 24% plus are non-English speaking.</p>
<p>39% plus of California students in grades 1-12 are illegal aliens and 42% plus are non-English speaking.</p>

<p><strong>TAXES</strong></p>
<p>62 % of all &#8220;undocumented immigrants&#8221; in the U.S. are working for cash and not paying taxes, predominantly illegal aliens working without a green card.</p>
<p>The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 (last known calculation by Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University) was a NET (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay), $70 Billion per year. [What are the 2006 costs?]</p>
<p>The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average illegal alien is $55,000 cost to the American taxpayer in a 5-year span. You personally pay $11,000 every year to illegal aliens.</p>
<p><strong>JOBS </strong></p>
<p>(per Center for Immigration Studies &#8211; September 2006):</p>
<p>Between 2000 and 2005, 4.1 million immigrant workers arrived in the U.S., accounting for 86% of the net increase in the total number of employed persons (16 &amp; older), the highest share ever recorded in the U.S.  Of the 4.1 million, between 1.4 and 2.7 million are estimated to be illegal aliens. Also, between 2000 and 2005, the number of young (16 to 34) native-born men employed declined by 1.7 million &#8211; at the same time, the number of new male immigrant workers increased by 1.9 million.</p></blockquote>
<p>George Bush vetoed HR 976, the State Children&#8217;s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), albeit for the wrong reasons. SCHIP in its latest revision is another step towards universal health care insurance. Not because of its purest intent, but because of its expanding borders. The program is designed to help families who earn too much income to qualify for Medicaid, but don&#8217;t earn enough to buy conventional insurance coverage. Therein lies the first flaw with the plan&#8211;the subjectiveness of the difference in the incomes and what they can or cannot afford. If a family wants to benefit from an entitlement program as the SCHIP program, then they should be subjected to a financial analysis of how the spend their income.  The second flaw is it is a government entitlement program and will be infected with fraud. A classic example of who benefits from government programs like this because of inherent fraud:</p>
<blockquote>
<h4><strong>The Not So Poor Voice of SCHIP</strong></h4>
<h5><em>Posted by Kim Priestap<br />
Published: Oct 7, 07 01:36 PM</em></h5>
<p>On September 29th, 12 year old Graeme Frost of Maryland got to do the Democrats&#8217; radio address, in which he told his story of how he and his sister were seriously injured in a car accident, and if it hadn&#8217;t been for SCHIP, they wouldn&#8217;t be here today. So who is this 12 year old? The Baltimore Sun did a story on the family, in which it stated the family couldn&#8217;t get health insurance through their work. But the article left out quite a few important, and interesting, bits of information, which Freeper managed to find while googling:</p>
<p>First, Mr. Halsey Frost, Graeme&#8217;s father, <em>owns</em> his own woodworking design studio, Frostworks, so his claim that he can&#8217;t get health insurance through work is shockingly deceptive. He <em>chooses</em> not to get health care for his family. Second, Graeme and his sister Gemma attend the very exclusive <a href="http://www.parkschool.net/admission/index.cfm?type=list&amp;objectid=232">Park School</a>, which has tuition of $20,000 a year, <em>per child</em>. Third, they live in a 3,000+ square foot home in a neighborhood with smaller homes that are selling for <a href="http://sdatcert3.resiusa.org/rp_rewrite/details.aspx?AccountNumber=01%2001%201749%20%20007%20&amp;County=03&amp;SearchType=STREET">at least $400,000</a>.</p>
<p>Yet, hardworking taxpayers who sacrifice many things such as expensive private schools and expensive houses in order to buy their own health care for their families are supposed to subsidize this family&#8217;s health insurance premiums.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal">There does not exist data that would manifest at what point a family could not afford health insurance. Some families could, based on their life styles, and some families could not, based on their lifestyles. There is no absolute mathematical line of distinction. There is nothing more fiscally dangerous than a government agency with control of taxpayer&#8217;s money and a recipient of said money with nothing separating them but a thin veil of subjectivity.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some families earning up to $83,000 or single parent families earning 200% of the poverty level and families earning up to 300% of the poverty levels could receive this insurance. You can also receive this insurance for your family if you are in this country <strong>illegally</strong>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any plausible way these two abstractly different  topics can be related to one another? Absolutely, in an economic faculty. The most primal foundation of fiscal and economic incumbency would cause one to spend money when there is unencumbered money to be spent on a worthy cause or where money can be re-apportioned and spent at no additional cost on a worthy cause.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is the SCHIP a worthy cause? Yes, if it stays within the fiscal parameters of a worthy cause, which it has expanded outside of and if it is funded with money taken from an unworthy cause i.e. the cost of illegal aliens for example would fund SCHIP 100 time over.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These are only two instances of literally thousands where there can be an equaling economic effect. They were only chosen because illegal immigration will be a hot topic until it is resolved and this past week SCHIP was a hot topic because of its veto.  The application of economic equaling is fundamental, equitable and the only fiscally responsible way to operate an economy.</p>
