pg 3 before the introduction:
"We can see how Arizona has greatly benefited from the simple fact of being a Border State. The impact that
Mexico has had on Arizona's population, labor force and economy can not be overlooked. Just consider
that in the year 2002 Mexican Immigrants accounted for over 4 billion dollars in buying power in Arizona
and generated $57.9 million dollars in bank fees by sending remittances back to Mexico."

pg 9
The cost of healthcare for the state of Arizona is US$31 million per year on undocumented immigrants in
border counties, accounting for only a 24% of the total costs of uncompensated health care in the state.

pg 9
Based on the 2000 Census and the tax projections of the Mexicans in Arizona, the sales tax and federal
income tax contributions from Mexican immigrants are approximately US$599 million for 2002. If we
subtract the total burden costs of services for the Mexican immigrants of US$250 million and US$31
million of uncompensated health care costs of undocumented Mexicans, we still have fiscal surplus
resources of US$318 million.

They also contribute plenty to health care along the border. How many public hospitals have shut down in southern California again?

He has no point but to only embrace socialism and take in any and all who want to come to the states legal or not. In fact he really believes that this is not our country and we have no right to it. He is a huge Chavez supporter and will speak at no end as to how evil we are here.

[-m-]

Let's not forget about watering down the job market in addition to all of those other wonderful aspects of illegal immigration.

nothing is wrong with socialism, look at costa rica they are doing just fine, and nicaragua is on the up
and venezuela's literacy has gotten better with chavez, better than the previous presidents.
but i guess you already knew that.

Dead link when I click on it. Besides, when a government that encourages illegal migration to the US does a "study", do you really think it's not going to be biased?

Also, no amount of management is going to help a business out when the customers don't pay their bills and the business is required by law to continue selling.

So you believe that everyone has a "right" to a free home, free healthcare, and free food no matter how lazy or uneducated they are. It is the government's responsibility to provide this to them, and it should be taken from people who earned it. I've got some news for you in case you haven't noticed.. Venezuela and Nicaragua got nothin' on us. Socialism is a failed system and history has proven that time and time again.
