The reality of the situation is that the Mexican/Latin America immigration epidemic is permanently destroying the economic conditions in America. This maturing problem is politically chaotic and has culminated in turning regions with high rates of illegal citizens into welfare domains. Currently, this rampant migration has turned inner cities across America, especially in south-western regions, and those in California into a socio-economic albatross that lacks a targeted financial recovery for low-income Hispanics.
There are many regions facing the onslaught of illegal immigration, but California is the poster-child for this monstrous burden. The total financial cost for illegal immigrants in that state by many reports exceeds 1 billion dollars. Key public/private services such as education, police/fire departments, town/city maintenance, public safety officials, and healthcare delivery services are increasingly being strained in a financially based operational manner that is unsustainable. America can't support, nor afford illegal immigration because it continues to have a devastating impact to taxpayers. Without a doubt, California is a welfare state that has mismanaged their expenses by giving up to 20%-30% of it's welfare funds to illegal citizens. This has definitely contributed to the highly negative perception of California where illegal citizens take in more then they give back to the community.
Currently, Los Angeles county is facing its' own crisis where the mayor of Los Angeles is in the midst of closing city departments two days a week. I ask myself how do these budget shortfalls get created---According to the city's Supervisor -- Michael D' Antonovich-- 1 in 15 Californian's is an illegal immigrant. Furthermore, his office estimates that Los Angeles county pays more then 500 million for healthcare services, 250 million per year for criminal expenses, 264 million for Calworks payments, and 312 million in food stamps for illegal immigratns. That totals over 1 billion and his office hasn't estimated the cost on education. Are you fucking kidding me? This is what happens when both the Mexican and American governments are equally corrupt and are in bed with big-business. (Did I forget to mention the richest man in the world is a Mexican and he's Missing in Action)...What a douchebag.
Ultimately, without comprehensive immigration reform that targets my bullets points focusing on the problem in this order-- 1) provides jail-time penalties for employers who hire undocumented workers 2) American government work hard to push for a stable Mexican economy that privatizes oil-- creates jobs/healthcare services in Mexico border areas 3) Requires illegals to pay fines for owed taxes (re-apply for citizenship based on new amnesty standards) and 4) increased cooperation from the super-corrupt Mexican government/police to reform border control/drug-narcotics trafficking) 5) Enables local United States police (in warranted areas) to check the immigration status through a national database of all arrested individuals(287(g)program infamously enacted in Prince William country Virginia-- that gives the power to identify, investigate, and detain illegal immigrants) 6) A national Identification card for all Americans citizenship status) then the situation remains fucked on the macro level until the United States federal government acts loudly with bold legislation.
Then the next question becomes how do we enact Amnesty legislation similar to the 1986 act--the last time Congress passed hardcore Amnesty legislation. However, we can debate for years whether it was successful, or not? However, with Michelle Bachman/Palin running around the Democrats better act fast, or this won't happen until after 2012.
If these 6 primary factors get acted on when the newest immigration bill gets signed into legislation then the Hispanic migration problem will vastly improve over the next decade. In overall, I've experienced the broken immigration system and it's overlapping shortfalls firsthand with knowing individuals who've gotten married to avoid deportation while on an expired green card. Furthermore, my current boyfriend of 2 years (that is Mexican-- I'm gay & White by the way) has family in Mexico whose been threatened by gang violence, and my immediate family has Hispanic members.
