Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote a  
column titled, ‘Mexican Visitor’s Lament’ – 10/25/07.

She interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while  
visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said, ‘They (illegal aliens) pay rent,  
buy groceries, buy clothes…What Happens to your country’s economy if 20  
million people go away?’ That’s a good question - it deserves an answer.  
Over 80 percent of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration  
stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America?  
The answers may surprise you!

In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico,  
it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems,  
bankrupt hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner,  
safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English  
became the dominant language again.

In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and  
grand-kids - would move back ‘home’, mostly to Mexico. That would save  
Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 billion) annually  
in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration  
costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.

Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the  
terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver  
Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered  
death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.

Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67 percent  
drop-out/flunk-out rate because of thousands of illegal alien students  
speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from  
our gridlocked cities in Colorado.

Denver’s four percent unemployment rate would vanish as our working  
poor would gain jobs at a living wage.

In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State  
back to America, the rule of law, and English.

In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals,  
schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free  
experience.

If 20 million illegal aliens returned ‘home’ –

If 20 million illegal aliens returned ‘home’, the U.S. Economy would  
return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a  
living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they  
wouldn’t be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401  
Billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for  
local, state and city coffers.

No more push ‘1’ for Spanish or ‘2’ for English. No more confusion  
in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that  
degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools  
would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in  
ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.

We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of  
more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who  
distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country.

In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the ‘18th Street Gang’ would  
vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from  
Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!

Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded  
highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American  
deaths by illegal aliens!

America’s economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get  
rich. Over $80 billion annually wouldn’t return to the aliens’ home  
countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money  
untaxed, which further drains America’s economy - which currently suffers an  
$8.7 trillion debt.

At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country,  
costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in  
California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being  
bankrupt out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act.

Americans wouldn’t suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases  
rampant in our country-brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.

Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and  
grid locking our cities. It would also put the ‘progressives’ on the horns  
of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11 percent of our  
greenhouse gases.

Over one million of Mexico’s poorest citizens now live inside and  
along our border from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California in what  
the New York Times called, ‘colonias’ or new neighborhoods. Trouble is,  
those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty,  
filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without  
sewage, clean water, streets, elec tricity, roads or any kind of sanitation.  
The New York Times reported them to be America’s new ‘Third World’ inside  
our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect  
20 million residents of those colonias. (I’ve seen them personally in Texas  
and Arizona; it’s sickening beyond anything you can imagine.) By enforcing  
our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico.

We should invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own  
countries and/or make a better life in Mexico. We already invite a million  
people into our country legally more than all other countries combined  
annually. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy  
within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation.  
It’s time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our  
way of life.

Interesting Statistics. Here are 14 reasons illegal aliens should  
vacate America, and I hope they are forwarded over and over again until they  
are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them:

Its an interesting point of view, like with any group there are a few rotten potatoes that stink up the whole bushel. A lot illegals perform jobs at insanely low wages that American citizens will not replicate, so the price to the consumer will go up dramatically if they vanished. Do you really think for a second that the Government will return the savings of these illegals to the American public? Hell no, they would just spend it on some other useless Government fashion, they certainly wouldn’t use it to pay off the deficit, not that it would even begin to put a dent in it. With out drastic change in Government policy the corruption will only continue, the American Citizens attitude toward the illegals is very similar to Germanys feeling towards the jews not long after WWI, they were looking for a scapegoat to allow themselves to ignore facing the truth. We are heading down the same path, what happens if all the illegals are gone and things still are in a poor state of affair? Until we turn that mirror we use so readily on others around and look at ourselves this country will be heading in a very dangerously blind direction. The American problem revolves around the American attitude, its superiority complex and its terrible spending habits(not just the Government, the Citizens as well). With out these changes we can expel all the illegal immigrants and the next day our problems will remain. People follow what they see, they mimic the example placed before them, if the Government had the power to change, the people would follow that example, if it reduced its spending and start treating other nations with respect instead of trying to push them around our perception not only internationally, but nationally would start to change.

Bottom line is that its easy to blame someone else, but they’re not the problem, we are the problem and until more Americans start to realize this, its going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

no offense, but what the fuck is that supposed to mean?

the article wasn’t referring to people who legally come over here, and work their fucking ass off to be a citizen. If half the bullshit ass, lazy, useless fucks we know as americans worked as hard as “russians” did, this fucking country wouldn’t be the giant pile of shit it is now.

In all of the world we must harbor some of the most arrogant, defiant piece of shit youth ever.

i agree with timmay.

the root of the problem lies in the government, and the people that allow all of this to happen.

you also make a great point about the terrible spending that goes on in this country. i see money basically just thrown away every day.

The war in Iraq has costs us much much more than that in total, cost us thousands of lives and hundreds of thousands people missing from labor force, and hurting the economy in many many ways.

yeah, the messed up part about it is many immigrants in general, get treated better than citizens who have lived here since they were born. just look at some of the b.s. going on with all these government handouts. they get a shitload of help, whereas if i went and applied for assistance, i’d get the run around.

There are no illigal immigrants on welfare /thread

Plus they appreciate being here instead of bitching and moaning, there are civilian populations here which are much worse for the economy then II’s.
