America ‘Immigrating’ Into Cyclical Illiteracy And Poverty by Frosty Wooldridge

Denver Post editorial, “One small step on immigration” DP, 2/22/10
While the Denver Post editorialists hint around the edges of our immigration predicament, they never quite ‘touch’ the core problem or what’s driving it. In fact, Vince Carroll and his staff avoid it at all costs. With an estimated 500,000 illegals and their children residing in Colorado, the costs top $1.1 billion annually to Colorado taxpayers. (Source: www.cairco.org) Not only that, you will never see the Denver Post ‘going after’ the employers of illegal aliens at bars, restaurants, hotels, roofing companies, construction contractors, landscapers, fast food shops and meat packing plants.
You won’t see a story on the thousands of illegals driving cars without licenses or insurance. You won’t find a story on the ID theft, ID forgeries, ID scams and housing fraud by illegals and employers. Why? Big money! But again, Colorado taxpayers subsidize a few that haul in millions.
Yet, Carroll and company wind their way around the immigration/population issue much like California politicians and newspapers. At the same time, Colorado faces many of the same failures. California runs a $26 billion debt and over four million illegal aliens and their children make a mockery of their police, educational, medical and prison systems. Rampant fraud allows illegals to remain as California taxpayers pay and pay! Colorado finds itself over $284 million in debt, but no one will address the costs of illegal aliens.
During the Colorado gubernatorial race three years ago, ICE Agent Cory Voorhis exposed the deceptions in the immigration arena from former District Attorney and now Governor Bill Ritter as he allowed criminal drug dealing illegal aliens free passes like ‘agricultural trespass’ to return to our streets instead of being deported. A “Denver Sanctuary Policy” for illegal aliens by Mayor John Hickenlooper created situations whereby two women and a three year old child suffered death at the hands of illegal Francis Hernandez. Police caught and let him go 19 times via Hickenlooper’s policy. Hundreds of similar stories duplicate across the USA with sanctuary cities.

"Congratulations ... you did it!"
Thank you for helping the National Policy Institute become the largest and fastest growing advocacy group for America's historical majority.
I’m a life-long liberal Democrat, but I’m not a fool! I have told Brandon Shaffer, my representative in the Colorado Senate, and Dianne Primavera, my representative in the Colorado Assembly, that I will not vote for them if they do not take concrete steps to put employers of illegal aliens in jail, remove all state funds from cities that do not actively enforce state and federal laws to deal with illegal aliens.
While illegal aliens are not the only cause of our problems in Colorado and the country at large, they are a major contributor to those problems, and they and their enablers must be dealt with. Just remember when politicians or the media talk about “free trade” or “we are in a global economy,” they are telling you they want cheap labor and a poor standard of living for you and your family. When they tell you we are “a nation of immigrants” so you have to accept 12-20+ million illegal aliens and tens of millions of legal immigrants, they are telling you they want cheap labor and a poor standard of living for you and your family. When they say you are a bigot, a xenophobe, a nativist, or a hater of brown people if you oppose amnesty and want our laws enforced, they are telling you they want cheap labor and a poor standard of living for you and your family. When they say illegal aliens only do jobs American citizens won’t do, they are telling you they want cheap labor and a poor standard of living for you and your family. Whenever they talk about the terrible situation the illegal aliens face, or their condition is not their fault, or wouldn’t you do the same thing in their situation, they are telling you they want cheap labor and a poor standard of living for you and your family. The plain fact of the matter is that any law or policy that uses foreign workers whether they are located in other countries or here in the US to produce the products and services we use must of necessity drive down incomes for US citizens.
The 21st Century will be one of too many people chasing too few resources. The question you have to ask yourself is do you want to compete with another 100 or 200 or 300 million immigrants, legal and illegal, for diminishing resources that will be available to the US. If you do, then you should support amnesty for illegal aliens and our current policy toward legal immigration. If you don’t, then you should join NumbersUSA.org and work to defeat every amnesty proposal put forward by the open borders pro-amnesty crowd. It’s your choice!
