The costs to the people of the United states of illegal aliens has been huge – estimated recently to be over 89 billion. The ever-climbing costs include massive health care expense, incarceration, gang control, border patrol, corruption, underground economy, depressed wages, missing taxes, social security fraud and the many billions sent home to Mexico and other countries rather than being spent in the very economies the "undocumented" are taxing by their presence.
While only employers profit the mounting costs to individual taxpayers, both explicit and hidden, are clearly enormous. The costs to our society and environment are immense and represent a tax upon future generations.
In 2006, some forty-five billion (on which little or no income taxes were paid) went back to the countries of origin, while we absorbed a bundle of costs. We’ve watched as American employees were summarily replaced with illegal cheap labor, all while this administration applauded the illegality and talked about the need to reduce labor costs.
Meanwhile, ninety American hospitals have been forced to close due to unpaid illegal alien medical services. Some thirty percent of federal prisoners are illegal aliens who remain undeported and receive expensive medical care of the kind currently serving to bankrupt middle class families. Talk about Sicko.
For years, we’ve been playing a game of "catch and release" with those caught pouring over the border – a complete charade of border protection. We even fail to keep track of those who enter the country legally and never leave. As a result, we pay and we pay and we pay.
Why should we, the legal citizens, be forced to pay these costs rather than the very countries and religious organizations which both cause and promote this massive human wave? Do we continue to do so until we run out of space, out of water, and out of peace, patience, and civility?
Clearly, the penalties for overpopulation are cruel and ongoing... and those who break the balance should be made to pay the price. Virtually all of our environmental calamities and societal strife today are due to the stress of overpopulation.
It is a simple fact that Mexico and the Catholic religion bear great responsiblity for this crush of desperate people... and yet they get off scott free. In effect, we are forced to subsidize their oligarchies, their corruption, their promotion and encouragement of illegal migration, and their dogma and ruinous birth rates. Yet they continue to threaten politicians who oppose their ruinous dogma with excommunication. In fact, they see no separation between their dogma and our state. And so we pay as the Protestant Reformation disappears before our very eyes.
Rather than taxing and penalizing this illegality, this social and environmental ruin, this promoted invasion and "reconquista," we let it continue and watch as our world turns to crap due to overpopulation and corruption. Clearly, we’ve already seen the dismal results of "compassion," now it is time for some sanity, responsibility, and taxing of those who force these costs upon us.
The actions of Mexico and the Catholic Church are quite incredible. At our expense, Mexico gains from the billions sent home and the millions of young men who otherwise might be protesting in their streets for a better society. In effect, we are complicit in keeping necessary change and revolution from happening within the virulent oligarchy to our south.
The Pope (and Ayatollahs) and Catholic Church dogma are also clearly responsible for the most irresponsible procreation, suppression of women’s rights, the breakdown of family stability, the creation of poverty, gangs, and mafia. As for "family values," almost half of Hispanic children are born to unmarried parents... children having children.
So why do we tax the very people and nations producing a balance, a better world for future generations, and subsidize those who are ruining the future?
It comes down to our own virulent OligarchyUSA, the control of society by capital, and a ruling elite scheming to merge our countries against the will of the people. Indeed, we have our own fascism to deal with but, in any case, we must begin to penalize ruinous Growth and reward Balance.
The only morality I see is leaving the next generation a world of balance – i.e., a balanced budget, society, and environment. Anything else is simply theft from our own children and future generations... the greatest of crimes.
