The Mexican Connection

Today I am writing about the impact of a growing problem that is raging across the US. At last estimate there are 9-11 million illegal immigrant living and working in the United States. There are both direct and indirect costs to these folks living here. According to the Huddle study the cost of these immigrants to the state, local, and federal governments is around 33 billion. Some of this is earned back with the taxes that are paid. When you factor in the cost of the jobs that were taken from Americans and the lack of taxes that they would pay, the figure climbs back to around 30 billion. There is also the issue of illegal immigrants that use the health care system. Since they are not documented that costs that are incurred are passed directly to the health care system. In turn these costs are passed to the insurance companies which then pass the cost to the American taxpayer. These are a few of the financial burdens that are caused by this growing problem.

I believe there is an even bigger problem than direct immigration. You see at some point we all come from a family who came from over seas to live the American dream. Our families came here, worked hard, and made a life here in the US. The Mexican people believe that a Mexican is always a Mexican. So there are no plans to ever assimilate into our society. They intend to move here and push their culture on us. There are growing pockets within the government that embrace this. The Spanish language is becoming bigger and bigger within many cities. There are now neighborhoods in Miami where the signs are almost entirely in Spanish. Restaurants and street vendors are almost all spanish. So what is the governments position on this? Well there is a super highway that is to be built from Texas to Canada. This will bypass the teamsters union and allow Mexican trucks to drive all over the US. When you think your government will make decisions that represent your own, think again. This is not happening on this issue.
