Illegal Aliens

ILLEGAL ALIENS

"BURGLARS ARE NOT UNINVITED HOUSE GUESTS.

CAR-JACKERS NOT ARE UNDER-RATED DRIVERS.

BANK ROBBERS ARE NOT MAKING UNAUTHORIZED WITHDRAWALS.

ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE NOT UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS."

Q: What is the problem and why?

The correct term for the 8-11 million persons illegally in the U.S. is "illegal aliens" or perhaps "illegal migrants." They are not 'undocumented' nor are they 'immigrants'.

The millions of Mexican and other illegal aliens in the United States endanger national security by creating a demand for false identity documents and smuggling networks that could I believe also assist terrorists.

Under Title 8 Section 1325 of the U.S. Code, "Improper Entry by Alien," any citizen of any country other than the United States who:

Enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers; or

Eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers; or

Attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact; has committed a federal crime.

Violations are punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment for up to six months. Repeat offenses can bring up to two years in prison. Additional civil fines may be imposed at the discretion of immigration judges, but civil fines do not negate the criminal sanctions or nature of the offense.

Illegal aliens drain funds from a lot of different social services. I think it is unfair that I have to pay so someone who is as stated above is breaking the law can live comfortably.

Q: Who are they and where do they come form?

They come from many countries but Mexico is the biggest contributor.

Over 95% (nearly 1 million) of deportable illegal aliens caught entering the US without inspection in 2002 was from Mexico.

32 from Oceania (Island countries)

478 from Africa

930 from Europe

1,466 from Canada

3,019 from Asia

5,100 from Caribbean

5,425 from South America

28,832 from Central America

986,294 from Mexico

Q: Why are they coming here?

Illegal aliens are coming to America for many reasons... of which include being able to use certain Social Services, better paying jobs, and basically everything that is a plus about being an American.

Q: Why do people object?

Honestly I think this list is all encompassing...

Overcrowded and under-funded schools, diseases, increased health care costs, degraded health care service, higher auto insurance
