The Lie: Politicians tell you that illegal immigrants are contributing to our economy.
The Truth: Illegal immigrants are not contributing to our economy, they are breaking our economy.
The Lie: In 1965 President Lyndon Johnson told the country that immigration law was being rewritten to promote diversity.
The Truth: President Lyndon Johnson and a cabal of politicians who were funded by corporate money decided that the middle class had become too strong and influential. Young newlyweds could afford to buy a house right away. One working adult could support a large family with a stay at home parent. Unions were strong. Social Security was strong. There was a racial divide but it was between blacks and whites, the two largest homogeneous populations in the United States. Each group on its own was strong because it was unified. The corporate elite couldn’t have this. The best way to end the power of the middle class was to divide and conquer. So immigration from all third world nations was encouraged to compete with the black and the white middle class, and to bring the middle class down.
The 1965 immigration law was written with legal immigrants in mind, but somewhere between the lines it stated that illegal immigration would be ignored.
The Lie: Illegal immigrants pay taxes.
The Truth: Sixty five percent of illegal immigrants work off the books and pay no taxes. Thirty percent of illegal immigrants use stolen IDs and Social Security numbers but earn such low incomes that they don’t have to pay tax on the income. Five percent of illegal immigrants use stolen IDs and would have to pay income taxes if they didn’t claim 50 dependents. Do these aliens ever get audited? Probably not because they never file income tax returns.
In New York City illegal immigrants have obtained business permits and have opened businesses that employ other illegal immigrants. These businesses pay some taxes, as little as they can get away with, but at the same time they undercut their American competitors. They are forcing American businesses who employ legal workers, pay their payroll taxes, and pay all necessary insurance for their workers, out of business. Other businesses are forced to compete by adopting the dishonest practices of their illegal competitors. These American businessmen are hiring illegal alien workers in order to stay in business.
Immigrants also “promote diversity” by hiring only workers of their own ethnicity. Go into any authentic (not Taco Bell) Mexican Restaurant or Chinese Restaurant and see for yourself.
Illegal immigrants do pay sales taxes. So do tourists. It doesn’t qualify them as citizens.
The Semi-Lie: Illegal immigrants pay into Social Security through payroll taxes and never see a dime of this Social Security money.
The Truth: Just like an illegal driver with a suspended license is always in the wrong if he is in an accident because he shouldn’t have been on the road, an illegal alien is always in the wrong because he should not be employed in our country. The illegal driver cannot collect insurance damages because he should not have been on the road. The illegal immigrant should not collect Social Security Insurance because he should not be in our country. Even with this withholding of Social Security it is still profitable for illegal workers to be here. If it weren’t they would stop flooding in.
The Lie: Immigrants strengthen unions.
The Truth: Immigrants break unions by the sheer numbers of grunts who will work for less that the prevailing wage in any industry. Such workers used to be called scabs.
The Lie: Illegal Immigrants work harder than Americans.
The Truth: Illegal Immigrants are brought here by smugglers who have arranged for their living quarters and their employment before they arrive in our country. These human smugglers make deals with employers to deliver a specified number of workers to suit the employer’s needs. Female illegal immigrants often choose to take the “harder” path of squeezing out a child or 10 on American soil so they can receive whatever Social Security, food stamps, medical and rent assistance their children, as falsely created American citizens, are entitled to. Other illegal immigrants take the hard work path of marrying American citizens and using the assistance of their citizen spouses to become citizens and to bring all their relatives here. And their relatives bring relatives, and their relatives bring relatives, and so on, and so on. The only things illegal immigrants work harder at is sneaking into our country and evading authority.
The Lie: Immigrants make our country a better place.
The Truth: This may have been true at one time when the country was wide open and there were not enough people to fill the growing industries. Now that manufacturing is contracting because of outsourcing all that is growing is construction and service industries. Illegal Immigrants are filling all these positions and pushing out American workers.
It is so much easier for a construction contractor to hire an illegal alien. Illegal aliens make more amenable workers because they are fearful of deportation. No paper work needed. No accounting needed. No payroll taxes. No insurance needed. If an illegal immigrant gets hurt the contractor just drops him off at the emergency room of any hospital. No cost to the employer. The cost is socialized to taxpaying American citizens who must pay higher taxes and higher medical costs because of this. The alien gets socialized medicine and the American gets socialized costs. For these reasons dishonest businesses prefer to hire illegal aliens. Do you really want to hire a dishonest contractor?
What do our children get? Competition for scarce employment and resources. Higher prices. A lower standard of living. We should eliminate illegal immigration and put a moratorium on legal immigration to protect our children’s inheritance.
The Lie: Building a wall between the United States and Mexico will control the flood of illegal immigrants.
The Truth: Mexicans will just build tunnels under the wall as they have with existing walls. The US government will use the trillion dollar wall as an excuse to cut funding to Border Patrol. The unmanned wall will have Mexicans flooding in as usual.
Sneaking across the border isn’t the only way illegal immigrants gain entry into our country. They also fly in and overstay their visas. They come in as students, tourists, and temporary workers. Special B-1 Visas allow businesses to hire foreigners for positions that are supposedly hard to fill. Then these employees rarely go home.
A few months age while at work I had the chance to read one of these B-1 Visas that was issued to a recently graduated Hong Kong 20 year-old male. He came to our country to work for an advertising agency in Manhattan, NY as a computer graphic artist. The Visa stated that the advertising agency was providing housing for him. His salary was to be $21,000 a year.
New York City is full of graphic arts schools and colleges with courses that specialize in computer graphic art. Off the top of my head I can think of The High School of Art and Design in Manhattan and Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. Graduates of these schools would be tickled pink to be given such an entry level position. Housing anywhere in New York City is so expensive that housing plus $21,000 is a good deal indeed. If this position with it’s housing benefit had been advertised in New York City it would have had numerous applicants.
The Lie: Illegal immigration is not a problem because America is a large country and we can absorb the illegal immigrants.
The Truth: Illegal immigration increases our population, especially in cities. It drives down wages and drives up housing costs. All goods and services become more expensive due to increased demand. It changes the ethnic make up of our population. This would be good if we Americans were bad people. Bad people should be replaced. However, we are good people. Our government should be promoting what is in the economic and social best interests of the good citizens of America. Instead our government is punishing us. Our government is representing the best interests of the corporate elite, not us. We are the taxpayers. Our government should be representing us and our children, not illegal aliens and not corporations.
The Lie: Our government is doing everything it can to control illegal immigration.
The Truth: The presence of illegal aliens is allowed and encouraged by our politicians who are happy to receive support from tax evading businesses that employ illegal labor.
It is our government’s policy to break down and remake America into a country of former third world residents. A growing population competing for jobs and goods and services will drive the cost of labor down and the cost of goods and services up. A diverse population will have competing interests and will not unite against their oppressors. The ruling class does not want us to unite. They don’t believe in the words “United States.”
Illegal aliens would not come if they remained unemployed when they got here. If the government really wanted to prevent illegal immigration they would go after employers of illegal immigrants. They would shut down and confiscate businesses that employed illegal aliens and auction off their assets to defray the costs of illegal immigration. On top of confiscation the government would fine and imprison such employers. Any employers of illegal immigrants who are themselves illegal immigrants should be deported. The rest will leave on their own when they can’t find work.
Another thing the government could do is to charge employers of illegal immigrants with tax evasion and throw them in jail for that. This would open up the field for law abiding businesses and close down their corrupt competitors.
Our government should also offer financial rewards to citizens who turn in tax-evading businesses that employ illegal aliens. This could be financed from fines collected.
These actions should be taken immediately before we American citizens become totally demoralized and unable to take any action to save our country and our children’s future.
Don’t become demoralized. Don’t let the Corporate elites win.
