He really thought he was a dictator but guess what he is so dead wrong and we the people told him so.

Thank God we spoke out loud and clear and he heard us and decided not to do something we just flat out didn't want as easily as got in just easily we can get him out and that is a fact.

Using 2005 reported figures, 12 million illegal aliens cost taxpayers $65 billion a year in services like welfare, etc., plus they sent $20 billion a year "home" to their native country. Not only does this $20 billion a year enter a foreign economy when it should be going back into our American businesses, illegals were able to send it "home" by taking American jobs from our citizens.

We all know that the reported 12 million illegals was underestimated with a more reasonable estimate being 15 to 20 million illegals with a yearly increase since 2005. With this information, I feel it's safe to assume that the total $85 billion we spend or lose yearly on illegal aliens is also underestimated, especially when Americans lose their jobs to the same illegal aliens who also benefit from services our citizens pay for, sometimes receiving both jobs and services.

Over a 10 year period this translates into $850 billion, nearly $1 trillion, in U.S. money that is never recovered. Add to that the lost American wages from 7 million jobs reportedly held by illegal aliens in 2005, along with other factors, and I contend that illegal aliens have been a major influence on the economic "crisis" our country is experiencing right now.

And Obama has promised to make it permanent with another amnesty while chain migration still exists????

I have discovered some interesting connections to many of the people Obama chooses. They have worked for the huge, international, McKinsey Consulting Group. There is even an Enron connection to this group, Skilling. Wikipedia has really interesting info, unless they have removed it. One of the names mentioned as possible for the new "cap and trade" is in the group. At least two books have been written about their problems.

California's population is about 36,000,000 making the illegal population about one in twelve. Unless you use the higher CAPS estimate in which case it is about one in four. In either case it is too high and though I do not think the CAPS people are right yet if we do nothing it will head in that direction.

I imagine these 14,000,000 unemployed worker's, their relatives both immediate and distant, as well as neighbors and friends have been watching very closely their so-called leaders in Congress. I wonder how many voters that may amount to! And considering that foreign worker's both legal and illegal and those incarcerated or dead do not vote, it should amount to a lot of very PO'd voters come election time.

I still don't understand why it is OK for illegals to commit identity theft and not be prosecuted, when legal citizens would be. Can anyone explain to me why the law only applies to legal citizens?

Here is the excerpt from Newt Gingrich's speech the other night where he called for more H-1 visas.
"We must have a system of legal temporary workers. We must have a vastly expanded system of H1 visas for highly qualified workers."
How can he be calling for an "expanded system of H1 visas" for foreigners when there are 14 million Americans who are unemployed, many of them, I'm sure, very highly qualified.
On the one hand he says he is very pro-American and seems to be against illegal migration, but calling for more HI visas can not possibly be pro those 14 million Americans currently of work and would only worsen the illegal "squatting" problem at the expiration of their visa periods when they don't go back to wherever they came from.
Am I missing something here?

E- Verify works so Obama could not enforce it as it runs contrary to his goals.
While the American people have lost and continue losing their jobs and homes and are living on the edge, they were told that the Stimulus Bill needed to be passed to help them. And part of this so-called help, would be in the creation of new jobs, mostly from the government sector. But just as I suspected would happen, jobs creation extends to illegals, not the American people. So the American people are not only not getting the jobs promised, their tax dollars are sponsoring programs to help illegals. It's like in war time, when prisoners are made to dig their own graves and then shot. This is what Obama and his amoral administrations have sanctioned.
Every time I think it can't get worse, it does. I think the American people must focus their efforts on getting Obama impeached. And we must do it ASAP!
It seems his legislative covert moves are always designed to help the illegals population at the peril of our country and our people. He has proven himself to be in violation of our Constitution and he in fact, is a traitor.

NumbersUSA Moderator: Thank you, Elena. We share your frustration. We don't claim to know the reasons why Obama has turned his back on American workers, but there is another way around this executive order -- Congress could pass a law requiring mandatory use of E-Verify.

The SAVE Act would have done that last year, but Speaker Pelosi refused to bring the bill to the floor. We came close to forcing a vote, but fell just short. We need to come back stronger this year!

Trying to make the NumbersUSA Action Alert calls to the DHS comment line is frustrating because I think they actually may "take their phone off the hook" when expecting a rash of public opinion.
?
It is really difficult to get through. I wish I knew another way to make my opinion heard by them, a different number or something.

NumbersUSA do you have a list of the House Appropriations Reps that voted against it; and their contact info?;I'm ready to launch an anger campaign against them
The House Appropriations Committee

NumbersUSA Moderator: We don't have the roll call on the Kingston amendment yet, but we will update the vote here.

In my view, the reason none of the actions of our politicians (Democrat and Republican) makes any sense to a normal American is there is an agenda with reference to illegal immigration. A falling caucasian birth rate and aging baby boomers means a guaranteed failure of the Social Security system. The solution? Create a huge number of new contributors to pump up to the fund. That way the politicians hide their mistakes that caused the failure of the system to begin with. Why would "Arnie" be saying, when he knows better, that the financial impact of illegals to California is only 4-5 billion when its actually proven to be 13-14 BILLION. There all liars and greedy elites!

NumbersUSA Moderator: You will hear some people say that we need all of these extra people to save Social Security, but that is a complete myth. Amnesty and increased immigration will not solve Social Security.

Why isn't it a crime for officials to enable illegals to use false SSNs?

If what MD2510 said that Governor Arnold said on Lou Dobbs is true, then shame on Arnold. I lived in California when arnold was voted in when we tossed out Governor Grey Davis for selling the state out to Enron. I was happy to vote for Arnold. Yet, if he sides with the Illegal Aliens, then it is now time for Arnold to receive the same fate as Grey Davis and Recall him.

The problem as I see it is that the public, while they tell pollsters that the majority of voters are enraged at what the politicians are doing to our country, yet they then RE-ELECT the same people back in office yet again!! When asked if the majority of politicians are crooked, something like 70% say "yes". Yet, when asked if THEIR politicians are crooked, they say "no, not mine". Which is a direct conflict.

Illegal Aliens are the major cause of many budget deficit crisis in a lot of states, as they are the majority recipients of Entitlement funds. Plus, large percentage of the crime rate. Yet, we NEVER hear of politicians speak of cutting them out of the free swag biz. When I lived in San Diego, there were news stories about the Illegals dying crossing the border. When the government made it tougher to cross in Tijuana, MX into San Diego. the Illegals just moved further east to cross in the barren regions of California. They were dying when crossing the border from lack of food and water and also drowning crossing the river (hence the origin of the name "wetback" many years ago).

So, what did the politicians do? They used taxpayer funds to install telephone poles (they are 30 ft out of the ground, standard) with a large yellow flag on top. Under the poles, the government (OUR government) kept the sites stocked with bottled water, canned food and other supplies (free of course). They also sunk concrete pylons on both sides of the river and then attached a large chain to both sides. So, that the Illegals wouldn't drown while crossing the border, they could use the chain by pulling themselves across river!!!! Our tax dollars pay for this!! I kept the articles out of the newspaper because no one would ever believe this. Of course, it never made the National news, only the local San Diego newpaper. Governor Arnold could save a chunk of money right there, by removing and no longer stocking those sites for a starter.

I was just listening to Gov Schwarz-liberal of CA on the LouDobbs show and when asked why in the time of fiscal emergency when all programs are being drastically cut, why not cut off benefits to illegals. He said illegal aliens benefits are not a problem, they are just being scapegoated. When even by official estimates, they account for about 20% of the deficit.

Let alone the direct costs, if you add all the indirect costs, illegal aliens are the MAJOR factor in the problem.

And then he said 'I am happy they are getting those benefits. I would want them also if I was settling in a new country".

I will leave it at that.

I send my faxes out each time you email me. Doesn't seem to have any effect with the government, according to what you are saying.
I have a serious question. If what you are saying, that they are so blatantly dis-regarding the wishes of the American people (who overwhelmingly want Illegals thrown out and the borders sealed) then why is there no main stream media covering this issue and these politicians? Emails to Congressmen, Senators, Nepolitano and the President are probably just deleted. Faxes and letters have no better fate. Yet, if CNN (and not just Lou Dobbs), our local newspapers (who are crying about losing readership), radio talk shows, etc. took up this issue and had daily updates on Schumer, Nepolitano, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and others, these politicians would run for cover like the slimy, slithering bugs that run when you turn over a rock. Instead, all I see is fluff like Stephan Colbert getting a military haircut, or local articles about road closures and murders, etc. If we STILL had a free press wouldn't at least SOME of the major media outlets pick up on this issue? I realize that they have other goals and needs themselves. But, they ALL make their living off of polls. Low polls and the show is cancelled or the reporter replaced. And, if I read the polls correctly, more than 60% of the people in the United States want Illegal Immigrants removed and the companies that employ them fined or shut down. So why then, does the major media not make this issue a number one ongoing news story? I realize that the U.S. has let SOO many of these Illegals into the country for SOO many years now and past Presidents like Bush, sr. granted amnesty to them, that they are now a large voting block. It is not funny at all but BECAUSE they invaded us un-checked for so many years now, they are now a majority in many states. Yet, they are still officially called "Minorities". This gives them power in numbers. Yet, according to the polls that I read, even some legal Mexicans want the borders closed and Illegals tossed out. To protect THEIR jobs!!! Seems this country is doomed to crash. Too many Special Interests pulling it apart from all sides. Lobbyists from Big Business are mainly responsible. Our jobs have already vanished to China, India, Japan, Korea, etc. and then factor in the Illegal Mexicans taking the labor jobs that are left and then getting entitlements into the billions of dollars on top and the only wonder is WHEN will the entire nation collapse?????? No one is watching out for the greater good of our once great nation. We are fast becoming a Third World country!!

NumbersUSA Moderator: You make an excellent point, John. In general, the media has done a terrible job of covering this issue. You can help by writing letters to the editor, calling in to talk shows, etc.

The faxes do make a difference. We hear from staffers on the Hill everyday. The fact is that defense is easier (though not easy) than offense on Capitol Hill. Your faxes have stopped a lot of really bad things from happening.

Thank you Roy for all the heavy work that you do. I recieved this from the White House and thought you might like it? Dear Friend,
Thank you for your message. On behalf of President Obama, we appreciate hearing from you. The President has promised the most transparent administration in history, and we're committed to listening to and responding to you.
In order to better handle the millions of electronic messages we're receiving and respond more quickly, we've implemented a new contact form on our website:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/
Please note that this web form has replaced comments@whitehouse.gov. That email address is no longer monitored, so we encourage you to resubmit your message through the link above. Thank you for using the web form and helping us improve communications with you.
Sincerely,
The Presidential Correspondence Team

NumbersUSA Moderator: Thank you. We need phone calls right now more than anything.

Hi there Roy.
How easy is it for someone with your name-recognition to get on TV?
Perhaps the National Networks wont let you on but what about cable TV?
If you could do the rounds on Dobbs, O'Reilly, Beck and Hannity you'd be getting about 8 million viewers and with a multiplier effect of, say, 5 that would be some 40 million people who would learn of this emergency.
And what about radio and Rush, Sean and Laura?
If you are already doing this, how come I never see or hear you on any of the programs I've mentioned?
If you are doing this, though, then perhaps you need to publicize your appearances more pointedly by emailing us with the times of when and where you're up.
Also, what's with Newt Gingrich calling for more H-1 visas in his speech the other night?
With 14 million Americans out of work, me included, has he lost his mind?
I thank you and your staff for all the hard work and vigilance.

NumbersUSA Moderator: Roy and Rosemary are often called to make appearances at the last minute, so it is nearly impossible to give you warning. That is something we would like to be better at.

Roy,

INDEPENDENCE DAY, the Fourth of July (our Cinco de Mayo)is soon coming up. Do you suppose we could quickly organize a national rally of American demonstrations to coincide withthat date? Gee, we could fly our own flag, right side up!

I know the time is short, but if we could pull this off those dratted politicians and the media would HAVE to finally listen to us!

And if a lot of patriotic Ameicans rallied and demonstrated for our country and about our issues--surely they couldn't continue to characterize us as racist rednecks.

Just a thought.

Roy, Yes let me thank you too for helping us know when things are happening in congress and letting us send faxes to the ones that need it the most.
Thanks again, please keep up the good work.I still can't imagine why congress could even think of going against the American people on this subject of illegal migration, no matter how much money they are given by lobbyists unless they are not patriotic, about America at all. If that's the case, we need to get them "ALL" out of office and start brand new, if needs be.
