[Many Republicans pretend to be conservatives by — among other things — pretending to support border security, national sovereignty, etc., while at the same time ignoring the many crises that illegal immigration causes (because many of those Republicans’ biggest political donors own companies that can make more money with access to more cheap labor). This page both exposes some of the aforementioned crises and refutes the lies which many Republicans tell (along with their Democrat bedfellows) trying to defend their voting records which reveal their duplicity on illegal immigration.]

“An immigrant comes to a new land and assimilates to the culture already established there. A colonist brings his culture with him and plants it in new soil. He does not seek to assimilate, any more than the first Pilgrims sought to become Indians. When assimilation becomes [irrelevant, as it has become to liberals], a nation of immigrants becomes a nation of competing colonies.”

“Immigrant men have higher rates of work than native-born men… 36 percent of immigrant-headed households used at least one major welfare program (primarily food assistance and Medicaid) compared to 23 percent of native households… The children of immigrants account for one-third of all children in poverty… 29 percent of immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) lacked health insurance, compared to 13.8 percent of natives and their children… There are 10.4 million students from immigrant households in public schools, accounting for one in five public school students.”

The Jobless Effect: The Toxic Mix of Illegal Immigration and Unemployment

“… our badly broken immigration system needlessly worsens the circumstances of less-skilled workers. We make it extremely difficult for employers to bring highly skilled immigrant workers to this country, but far too easy for them to hire low-skill immigrant workers (who are often in this country illegally). Thus the very Americans already engaged in extreme competition with lower-skilled workers abroad are being subjected to further competition with lower-skilled immigrants at home. Meanwhile, the wealthier Americans benefiting most from globalization are shielded from its effects on their own employment prospects. This arrangement is clearly backward, and calls out for sensible reform.”
