- In this final entry of this series on Anchor Babies in
America, we shall investigate the unbelievable but verifiable costs to
American citizens. Additionally, we will explore ancillary problems created
by illegal alien children within our classrooms across the country.
-
- Do we blame the children? No! Do we blame their parents?
No!
-
- Who do we blame? Simple! Our U.S. Congress and U.S.
presidents from Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43 and today, Obama! They must
take responsibility for this fiscal/educational and linguistic fiasco.
They failed to enforce our laws in the past 20 years, and Obama fails
to enforce our immigration and labor laws in 2009. Thus, they allowed
countless tens of thousands of employers within the United States to subvert
our laws as to employment of unlawful immigrants. Our Congress allowed
a new 21st century slave class to establish itself in excess of 20
million unlawful aliens-inside this country. The rich benefit and the
rest of us subsidize and suffer from it.
-
- While those 20 million enjoy employment, housing, welfare,
food and medical care on U.S. taxpayer dollars, 15 million Americans cannot
find a job. An astounding 32.2 million Americans subsist on food stamps.
Our working poor and minorities languish in the streets and 13 million
American children live below the poverty level.
-
- EDUCATIONAL CHAOS
-
- Those 400,000 anchor babies cost taxpayers big time!
At $6,000.00 per delivery in our hospitals where those pregnant alien
mothers take themselves to birth their children X's 400,000 annually: $2.4
billion annually. Year after year after year! If the child suffers from
autism, Down's Syndrome, myocardial septal defect (hole in heart), deformity,
premature birth in ICU or other problems-the costs may hit $1 million and
more.
-
- Remember also, that the mother becomes a ward of the
welfare rolls in assisted housing, food stamps, medical care, welfare payments-all
on the taxpayer's dollar. Instead of 400,000 dependents, the actual number
doubles to 900,000. Additionally, as that mother births more children,
the costs rise dramatically.
-
- Once the child reaches age five, it begins a 13 year
educational journey that costs taxpayers on average $9,644.00 annually
depending on school districts within the United States. When you add in
'free' breakfasts and lunches for those disadvantaged children, the costs
rise into the billions of dollars. Finally, English as a Second Language
costs taxpayers according to economist Edwin Rubenstein:
-
- "The total additional per pupil costs for language
assistance instruction was estimated to be in the range of $200 to $700
in 1981 dollars-equivalent to $460 to $1,600 in 2007 dollars. Using the
average of the latter two amounts-$1,030-as our estimate of per pupil cost,
the total cost of providing English Language Learning instruction to the
3.8 million students enrolled in those programs would equal about $3.9
billion. ($1,030 3.8 million.)." (Source: <http://www.thesocialcontract.com>www.thesocialcontract.com

S. Rubenstein
- Volume 18, Number 2 (Winter 2007-2008) Issue theme:
"What price mass immigration?"
-
- With those figures of 3.8 million illegal immigrant children
and children born as anchor babies X's a minimum figure of $5.00 for 'free'
breakfasts and lunches X's 180 school days equals: $5.42 billion annually.
-
- Talk about throwing U.S. taxpayer dollars down a rat
hole, NBC's Brian Williams reported last June that high school graduation
rates around the country suffered tremendously. Detroit public schools,
loaded with Middle Eastern legal and illegal immigrants along with unlawful
Mexican migrant children tallied an astounding 76 percent dropout/flunkout
rate among potential graduating seniors. Other cities like L.A., Chicago
and Houston hovered around 50 to 60 percent dropout rates.
-
- Brian Williams reported that 1.2 million 'American' teens
hit the streets annually "functionally illiterate."
-
- In my city of Denver, 67 percent of the graduating class
dropped out or flunked out before age eighteen. (Source: Rocky Mountain
News, "What Happened?")
-
- Dan Stein at www.fairus.org published a report
titled: "Breaking the Piggy Bank: How Illegal Immigration is Sending
Schools into the Red". Estimated costs of educating illegal migrant
children and anchor babies: $7.5 billion annually.
-
- The report said, in California, the $2.2 billion spent
educating illegal alien immigrants for one year could:
-
- · Pay the salaries for 41,764 teachers.
-
- · CA schools are threatened with a
$1.5 billion cut next year. Eliminating illegals would pay for all needs.
-
- · Pay for CA's class sizes to remain
capped at 20 students for a year, with $300 million to spare.
-
- · Buy books and computers to equip 346,689
classrooms or 79 percent of classrooms in California.
-
- · Fully fund the state's free lunch
program for poor American students for two years.
-
-
- Instead, California dropped from the top five top school
systems in the United States to the bottom five states. Teaches struggle
teaching with 113 different languages in their classrooms. As a teacher,
I can tell you that more than one language in a classroom causes educational
tension, ethnic tension from lack of ability to communicate and racial
separation.
-
- Students become angry, stubborn and overwhelmed as they
'drop out' from sheer frustration and inability to perform academically.
Violence ensues or complete withdrawal! Thousands join gangs for their
identity.
-
- Finally, what about U.S. children? What about the quality
of their educations? What about their well-being? What about our own poverty-stricken
students and special needs across the country?
-
- Today, one-third of all students graduating from high
schools heavily impacted by mass immigration must take remedial courses
in universities to bring their minds up to speed for college work. In
thousands of schools, gangs, foreign languages and strange customs usurp
the educational experience for U.S. students.
-
- At some point, and soon, we must stop 'birthright citizenship'
as all other countries, including Ireland and New Zealand, have done.
-
- This year, House member Nathan Deal introduced HR 1868:
reintroduced his Birthright Citizenship bill that would eliminate automatic
citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal aliens. The Birthright
Citizenship Act of 2009 (H.R.1868) would amend the Immigration and
Nationality Act to make it more difficult for children born in the U.S.
to gain citizenship.
- http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.1868
-
- Under the proposed legislation, a person born in the
United States, in order to gain citizenship, must have at least one parent
who is:
-
- a U.S. citizen or national;
- a lawful permanent resident alien whose residence is
in the United States; or
- an alien performing active service in the U.S. Armed
Forces.

-
- Thank you for joining www.numbersusa.com and www.capsweb.org and <http://www.fairus.org>www.fairus.org
to send in pre-written faxes that will push the entire Congress to pass
this important bill. Otherwise, you will keep paying and paying billions
and billions-year after year with no end in sight.
-
- Additionally, when those kids reach 18, they can chain
migrate their entire families into the USA-causing a horrific overload
of our infrastructure, carrying capacity and quality of life. Not to mention
we are displacing Americans out of their own culture, language and way
of life!
-

-
- To take action: First and foremost, join www.numbersusa.com and
become one of nearly a million Americans making impact with pre-written
faxes and phone calls to change immigration policies toward a stable future.
Bi-partisan and highly effective!
