 Just One State



CALIFORNIA--This is only one State!



If these stats don't open your eyes nothing will!  







Data 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 10 stats 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







And you wonder why Nancy Pelosi wants them to become voters!




Now this has been a heated discussion for sometime and we haven’t even begun to scratch the surface which it is concerned. What are we going to do and how should this be addressed? We have the facts and now that the speech making has ended and the elections have completed. There is a very real initiative that after the economy and the two wars going on, The President with our support, need to get a very big microscope and start dissecting.




Keep in mind that the information above only points out California. There are other major states like Florida, New York, New Jersey; that are similarly affected.




Your taxes dollars are being used to support these “institutions”. Money that should be going to better health care, education, grass root organizations that help our communities, “social security”.




Now let’s me clear, this is not a bash on our brothers and sisters of Hispanic Heritage. Like all of us, there are millions of law biding Hispanic Americans and are proud citizens. I am talking about the immigration issue and how it affects Tax Paying, hard working, U.S. Citizens.




What do you think?

thanks this is very nice.


I am happy to have met a positive brother. In the struggle we live in, we forget our history. A long time a go we fought for our freedom, our rights to be able to read and our rights to be treated equal. Now we don't even fight for an education. Some of us forgot out history. It is our duty not to let the finanical struggle get in our way of education. That is why it is said "Knowledge is Power". So for my brothers and sisters;let us rise from the examples of our history. Also take the example our new presdient to be. Remember Respect and Honor is what we should live by. We owe them for there hard work they provide.

I don't know where to begin, I was born and raised in Newark NJ where I lived until I was 19 I am a resident of VIrginia Beach,VA where I have lived for the past 22 years. Dissecting is a good word to describe what we and our President will need to do to correct the problems of the world. Crime, Illegal immigration, Unemployment, Poor living conditions wow. If we can begin to dissect one state at a time from the worse situation to the lessor that would be an improvement

When I read this I was shocked. I mean I know we have a serious problem with Immigration in this country - but when it is spelled out like this it really highlights just how critical and deep this issue is. I think people - myself included - are reluctant to speak out about this issue for fear of looking unfair or even rascist. But it's not about that at all. I do acknowledge that immigration in large part helped make this country grow and prosper. No other country is as diverse ethnically as this one. But that immigration was largely legal - and mostly voluntary - with the exception being Africans who were basically kidnapped - sold like chattel, and forced to help build this nation. No other country allows Immigration - Illegal or legal to the extent that America does and they have the right idea. I feel that if this country wanted to - most Illegal Immigration would be eliminated. I also think the practice of granting automatic citizenship to the child of an illegal immigrant just because the child is born here should cease! We as a nation have allowed this for too long and just look at the end result. And remember - those are the stats for "Just One State".
