Undocumented Workers

Uncontrolled immigration also imposes costs which can’t be quantified. Classroom learning declines sharply once the number of students exceeds 25. At 35-45, classrooms are merely holding pens.

The muticulturalists used to say that immigrants came here to work. But the recession has not slowed the tide. While many are willing to work, many are equally willing to avail themselves of costly social services, and a significant number turn to crime.

We cannot hope to improve the lot of America’s poor because every effort we make further magnetizes America for the world’s poor. They trample our Border Patrol and mock our laws with phony documents and batteries of sympathetic lawyers who appeal adverse decisions ad infinitum. Unless we summon the will to enforce our immigration laws, we will complete our descent into Third World squalor.
