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 was 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 25% 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 the above 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.
The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was,
(after subtracting taxes immigrants pay), a NET $70 BILLION a year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University ].
The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE number.
29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens
If they can come to this country to raise hell and demonstrate by the thousands, WHY can't they take charge over the corruption in their own country?
We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue.
THE U.S. VS MEXICO
On February 15, 1998, the U.S. and Mexican soccer teams met at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican even though most lived in this country. They booed during the National Anthem and U.S. flags were held upside down. As the match progressed, supporters of the U.S. team were insulted, pelted with projectiles, punched and spat upon. Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. players before and after the match. The coach of the U.S. team, Steve Sampson said, "This was the most painful experience I have ever had in this profession."
Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non-European countries can come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education, and government contracts? It's called affirmative action or racial privilege. The Emperor of Japan or the President of Mexico could migrate here and immediately be eligible for special rights unavailable for Americans of European descent.
Corporate America has signed on to the idea that minorities and third world immigrants should get special, privileged status. Some examples are Exxon, Texaco, Merrill Lynch, Boeing, Paine Weber, Starbucks and many more.
DID YOU KNOW
Did you know .. that Mexico regularly intercedes on the side of the defense in criminal cases involving Mexican nationals?
Did you know .. that Mexico has NEVER extradited a Mexican national accused of murder in the U.S. in spite of agreements to do so?
According to the L.A. Times, Orange County , California is home to
275 gangs with 17,000 members, 98% of which are Mexican and Asian.
How's your county doing
According to a New York Times article dated May 19, 1994 , 20 years after the great influx of legal immigrants from Southeast Asia ,
30% are still on welfare compared to 8% of households nationwide. A Wall Street Journal editorial dated December 5, 1994 quotes law enforcement officials as stating that Asian mobsters are the "greatest criminal challenge the country faces." Not bad for a group that is still under 5% of the population.
Is education important to you? Here are the words of a teacher who spent over 20 years in the Los Angeles School system. "Imagine teachers in classes containing 30-40 students of widely varying attention spans and motivation, many of whom aren't fluent in English. Educators seek learning materials likely to reach the majority of students and that means fewer words and math problems and more pictures and multicultural references."
WHEN I WAS YOUNG
I remember hearing about the immigrants that came through Ellis Island . They wanted to learn English. They wanted to breathe free. They wanted to become Americans.
Now, far too many immigrants come here with demands. They demand to be taught in their own language. They demand special privileges ... affirmative action. They demand ethnic studies that glorify their culture.
NOW . . . WHY CAN'T WE SEND THEM HOME?

Health care is another issue. Unimmuninized children and adults endanger more than themselves. The sick can spread illness. Of far more importance in my way of thinking is universal health care accessibility. Universal. Everyone. I think it is wrong thinking to use illegal aliens and immigrants as scapegoats for all our problems.
I am not an economist but my take on the immigrant and illegal economic impact is roughly that, they generally acquire the lower paying more physically arduous employment out there. Poverity often breeds crime, though as we know there is plenty upper and middle class white crime to alarm us all.
Lets stop making devisions between humanity. If people are already here and within our borders. They are brothers and sisters within our reach are they not?
Carla I appreciated the link.
I used to be one of those workers who did those "physically arduous jobs" but since a privilaged group of illegals decided to lower the pay scale, and since I can't habitate 20 to a house, I am out of that work! So are many of my friends.
Is the rationale out there to allow MORE crime because we already have crime?
I would never blame the illegals aliens for my problems but I do blame them for the problems they bring here. I don't want more problems, do you?
Statement from Los Angeles National Conference:
NATIONAL MAY DAY MOVEMENT
FOR WORKER & IMMIGRANT RIGHTS
May 1st, 2007 we will be out in the streets, not shopping or selling, if possible not working; but Marching.
On February 3rd & 4th, 2007, a Conference hosted by the March 25th Coalition culminated in a call for a national day of actions for workers and Immigrant's Rights. The day, May 1st, 2007.
During the two day conference, representatives from around the country came together in Los Angeles, Cal. and agreed on a National Campaign to bring about true comprehensive Immigration Reform. From New England to the South West, from the South to the North West, people came together at the Lioya Law school to begin to map out a plan of action leading to May Day mobilizations.
It was agreed that it was the unprecedented massive presence in the streets during 2006 that stopped the draconian and fascistic Sensenbrennen Bill from becoming the law of the land & that we need to be on the move again to further the cause of Immigrant and workers rights.
People left Los Angeles unified and committed to building unity with other forces around the country around the need of once again having the many millions of undocumented workers and their families partake in raising their voices along with the rest of the people in this country.
This most take place in order to now put an end to the intense raids and deportations taking place around the country, and stopping the President's push towards guest workers programs which only benefit Corporations and enslave Immigrant workers.
This urgent & immediate need must be addressed as the first step towards achieving full legalization for the 12 to 20 million human beings living in the shadowes and persecuted in this country while their labor and consumption is a cornerstone of this country's economy.
May 1 is the next necessary step towards a comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill that does not tear apart families or criminalizes the millions of people who have been forced by globalization and the so-called Free Trade agreements to leave their families, communities, country's of origin and ways of life, to risk their lives and come here to work
Behind a set of demands and Points of Unity which include:
--Stop raids and deportations
--Money for social services, not war
--Stop & reverse militarization of the borders of the Americas
--No to "free trade" agreements, including: NAFTA, CAFTA, FTAA & all FTAs imposed by U.S. Trans nationals
--Immediate, permanent, non-revocable legal residence for all who live in the U.S.
--Stop the Minutemen, KKK, Neo-Nazis and all racist organizations
--Access to higher education for all undocumented students
--Immediate Reunification of all families
--No criminalization of those giving aid to immigrants
--Full Legalization for All NOW
--Equal Rights for All Workers Now
--Jobs for All NOW
It was agreed to hold a National Press conference on a date yet to be determine as well as local activities leading up to a National boycott and Mobilizations on May 1st, 2007

The woman is very nice. This is the message that I left with her.....
"I said.......Your honor, please help us to save our country. We are losing our country as people from a foreign nation are invading and taking over our cities one by one---and gaining more rights/privileges than US citizens. Is this the type of country that you want to leave your children and grandchildren? If things are left as they are---violence and poverty are going to prevail---as our country slips further and further into third world status. Please let Mayor Barletta enforce his laws against the illegals who are destroying his city. Again, sir, please help us to save our country."

What a GREAT article by the Washington Times!!!! Look at the bottom to see who wrote it!!
The Hazleton rebellion
By John Armor
March 10, 2007
"Local jurisdictions across the country, beginning in Hazleton, Pa., have decided they need to act to control crimes committed by illegal aliens in their towns. A variety of laws against illegals as tenants, against illegals as company employees, and in favor of English as the required language, have resulted.
The dimensions of the problem are clear. A recent Justice Department audit (reported in The Washington Times Jan. 9) revealed more than 70 percent of illegal aliens arrested in the U.S. had previously been arrested for five or more crimes. The crime problem is compounded when you add the financial costs of additional medical care, additional education and additional police and prisons, due to illegal aliens.
Everywhere local Hazleton-type laws have been proposed, or passed, the counterattack has come from the American Civil Liberties Union and its ally, the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund. They claim such laws are beyond the power of local government since immigration is solely a federal issue. They also say such laws discriminate, since most illegals are non-Caucasian and speak Spanish.
So far, the local or federal courts that have heard the cases have accepted one or the other of these arguments. Many local governments, like Arcadia, Wis., have backed down after being threatened with litigation and its costs. But with the help of legal charities, Hazleton intends to see the case through to the Supreme Court.
Based on published sources and contact from people from various states, I estimate upward of 1,000 local governments stand ready to enact such legislation -- if and when the Hazleton ordinances are upheld in the Supreme Court, as they should be.
Actions concerning the health, safety and welfare of a town's citizens, including provisions about where people can work and do business have been part of the power of a "municipal corporation" since the late Middle-Ages. This is not new.
These local ordinances do not usurp federal powers -- they all take federal law and the applicable facts as a given. None change in any way the federal definition of who is, or is not, an illegal alien.
As for the claim of discrimination, it is the personal choices of non-Caucasian Hispanics from Mexico, rather than Caucasian English-speakers (mostly) from Canada, to come across largely undefended U.S. borders and wind up in Hazleton and other towns across America. The Supreme Court has ruled in several cases that statistical inequalities based on individual personal choices do not amount to discrimination.
There will then be a direct contrast between the crime rates and expenses in Hazleton-type communities and the "sanctuary cities" like Los Angeles. LA has enacted Special Order 40, which forbids its police officers from enforcing immigration laws or even asking suspects about their immigration status.
The contrast between these two types of communities -- between the results of the laws they choose to pass or not pass -- should force the national issue. At long last, even Congress will be compelled to act to gain control of U.S. borders.
The contrasting approaches to the problems of illegal immigration are beginning to rise above the level of local government. Legislation similar to the Hazleton ordinances has been introduced in both the Georgia and California legislatures. They may pass in Georgia. They will almost certainly be defeated in the California legislature -- though passage by initiative may be possible.
The key, however, is what happens in subsequent court reviews. And that will depend on the Hazleton decision.
Shays Rebellion in 1786 was a citizen uprising that brought about justice for unpaid veterans of the American Revolution. The Hazleton Rebellion of 2007 is a citizen uprising which can bring about justice for all citizens of the United States.
Note: This is a fast-breaking story, best followed on the Internet. Anyone interested in its development should use any search engine for combinations of "alien" with "crime," "death," "welfare," "education," "medical care," etc., to find the latest stories. These will usually be local stories, since the national media have not caught up to this aspect of the subject. Don't bother to search for "illegal aliens" since that phrase, though accurate, is seldom used: It is not politically correct."
John Armor has filed 18 briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court, and has been legal counsel to the American Civil Rights Union since 1998.

As for the rest of that which you plagiarized, I'm sure the source will come to light shortly, including the factual and true information that was left out - just like what happened in the first part.

Do you think they left something out? I'll try to find some more of the left out parts.
