Cost of giving illegal immigrants
path to citizenship could
outweigh fiscal benefits

Fox News, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:LittleHoodedMonk, 1/28/2013 9:20:18 PM

Any immigration reform plan that allows the roughly 11 million individuals now in the United States illegally to stay in the country would bring with it a mix of new revenues and increased costs. And as President Obama and a bipartisan group of senators separately press the issue this week, past studies suggest it is doubtful that the fiscal benefits of such policy changes would outweigh the costs. By legally joining the workforce, the immigrants in question would generate additional and much-needed income tax but also would become eligible for a certain level of government assistance.

Comments:
I´m trying to grasp desperately the dRATS twisted logic that giving illegal immigrants citizenship suddenly means that they will pay "more" taxes and contribute "more" to paying for 0bamaCare. Every company must have access to that eVerify system and thereby putting the onus on them for who they hire. I know that as a minority, I was hounded for documentation, as well as drug tests to work. Did it ever cross their minds that former company did all those checks?

It´s not 11 million, it is more like 20 to 30 million illegals. We are broke, we cannot afford more free stuff. It will destroy the country within 3 months. Not one crumb left for legal Americans.

The dark won is nothing but a squatter He forces his way into our home, squats his skinny rear and then invites all his hoodlum buddies to ransack and destroy the place. In a country with laws, he would be shot or put behind bars at this point.

Let´s pretend for a moment that the short bus crowd in charge of the GOP right now were to get a clue. Instead of amnesty deals with Schumer, you´d see them talking to the poor, struggling middle class (aka Reagan Democrats) about labor markets, unemployment, and specifically about how illegal immigration hurts the American worker -- unionist or not. You´d also be talking to upperclass Asians and Indians and legal Latino voters about expanding LEGAL immigration for skilled workers. You´d be attacking the De Facto open border policy of this administration. You´d make the moral argument that people who have broken immigration laws, customs law, tax law, labor law, and have falsified official documents should not be put in the front of the line over all those folks trying to play by the rules to get here. And if you were really shrewd you´d talk about how all this cheap illegal labor from Mexico is lining the pockets of corporate democrat donors. But we live in a world of the stupid party, dominated by stupid people like McCain, Gramnesty, Rubio, Sean Hannity, David Brooks, Boehner, McConnell, and so many others.

May as well make them citizens, they already vote. The Democrat/National Socialists made sure of that in the last election. That´s why Obama is "President".

Legalized aliens will not pay anymore taxes then they do now, because most are low income and have a lot of dependents, and instead of paying taxes get a tax refund every year. Once legalized they will become eligible for all the tax credits and that is going to cost the government a lot of money pretty quickly. The only reason that illegal aliens file tax returns now is to get a tax refund and to fraudulently file for tax credits based upon claimed children who are not in the USA.

Once they start putting 11 to 20 million legalized aliens on Obama Care the government will start subsidizing most of them because of their low incomes up to $6,000.00 a family per year. Where is all that money going to come from?

They also intend to open the borders to a huge number of foreign agricultural workers who will do agricultural work for awhile then move on into other industries, be granted citizenship and be replaced by an ever ending stream of new foreign agricultural workers. Since agricultural work is highly seasonal, those foreign workers may only be actually working half of the year, yet they would be allowed to stay in the USA indefinitely. When out of work you can bet that the government will be subsidizing them through a lot of different social welfare programs.

The social security disability program will be a prime target of the legalized alien population once they become eligible, human nature being what it is a good percentage of the legalized alien population will claim all sorts of disabilities to get immediate access to those social security payments.

That there´s any debate on this at all is ludicrous. Number one illegals or former ones will still work under the table to avoid taxes. We´ll still get floods of anchor babies resting comfortably on welfare.We´ll have even more healthcare tourism as people come here for expensive treatments they can´t get back home.All they have to do is show up at an emergency room with cancer or kidney failure and we´ll take good care of them. On the other hand if you´re an 80 year old American,your treatment will be highly in doubt. You´ll see more end of life counseling to get old people off the planet sooner.

Euthanasia will become a big worldwide effort in the next couple years under the guise of over population causing climate change.

FTA ´...also would become eligible for a certain level of government assistance´. Is this writer living in a cave? Illegals start slurping at the taxpayer trough minutes after their arrival. Welfare, food stamps, free medical care, in-state college tuition, we just can´t do enough to make their stay comfortable. Oh, and the Democrats will pull the bus right up to your curb on election day to make sure you vote. Who loves ya baby.

Shanghai & Hong Kong - China said it was mobilizing resources nationwide to combat a new strain of bird flu that has killed six people, as Japan and Hong Kong stepped up vigilance and the United States said it was closely monitoring the situation. All of the 14 reported infections from the H7N9 bird flu strain have been in eastern China and at least four of the six dead are in the financial hub of Shanghai, a city of 20 million people. The strain does not appear to be transmitted from human to human but authorities in Hong Kong raised a preliminary alert and said they were taking precautions at the airport.

Nashua, N.H. - Declaring that he’s likely not done with politics, former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown from Massachusetts refused Thursday to rule out a run for office in New Hampshire, while describing the Granite State as “almost a second home.” (Snip) Asked if he might challenge Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire in 2014, Brown said: “I’m not going to rule out anything right now.” The former senator, now a Fox News contributor, won election to the Senate seat long held by Democrat Ted Kennedy after he died in 2009.

In 2011, a little-known group called GOProud was a sponsor of the Conservative Political Action Conference, the annual marquee event for the right. A staunchly right-wing, fiscally conservative group that also promoted a pro-life message, GOProud seemed like a great fit for the event. There was just one problem: GOProud´s main function was as a gay-rights group. Enter Cleta Mitchell. Mitchell was, and is, on the board of the American Conservative Union, which runs CPAC. After calls from angry social-conservatives who threatened to boycott the event if GOProud was allowed to

Tokyo - Haruhiko Kuroda, the new governor of the Bank of Japan, delivered on his promise to drastically change Japan’s economic policy to end a long, debilitating era of deflation. The nation’s central bank announced on Thursday that it would double the amount of money in circulation and try to produce annual inflation of about 2 percent. (Snip) This major shift in Japan’s monetary policy is a stark contrast to years of what many economists said was a halfhearted battle to end deflation. Deflation is a damaging fall in prices, profits and wages, and it weighs on economic growth.

Denver - A psychiatrist who treated James Holmes told campus police a month before the Colorado theater attack that Holmes had homicidal thoughts and was a danger to the public, according to documents released Thursday. Dr. Lynne Fenton, a psychiatrist at the University of Colorado, Denver, told police in June that the shooting suspect also threatened and intimidated her. It was more than a month before the July 20 attack at a movie theater that killed 12 and injured 70. (Snip) Whitten said Fenton was following her legal requirement to report threats to authorities, according to a search warrant affidavit.

Washington - Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) on Tuesday announced that he supports gay marriage, joining a growing list of U.S. senators who offer such support. "When I climbed the Capitol steps in January, I promised myself that I would return to the Senate with an open mind and greater respect for others,” he said in a statement. "Same-sex couples should have the right to civil marriage. Our time on this Earth is limited, I know that better than most. Life comes down to who you love and who loves you back -- government has no place in the middle," Kirk said. Kirk, from the Chicago suburbs,

Seattle - The former chief federal judge in Montana has decided to retire at the conclusion of a misconduct investigation into a racist email about President Obama he forwarded to friends from his work computer last year. U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, who had taken less-active senior status on the bench after the incident, will retire in May, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals’ chief judge, Alex Kozinski, said in a statement. (Snip) The email had implied that Obama's mother was so drunk at the time of his conception that he was lucky his father was not a dog. Cebull admitted sending it,

Washington - A sophisticated airborne radar system developed to track Taliban fighters planting roadside bombs in Afghanistan has found a new use along the U.S. border with Mexico, where it has revealed gaps in security. Operated from a Predator surveillance drone, the radar system has collected evidence that Border Patrol agents apprehended fewer than half of the foreign migrants and smugglers who had illegally crossed (Snip) The new tally of unlawful border crossings could complicate White House efforts to pass comprehensive immigration reform after Congress returns from recess next week.

The Alabama Legislature late Tuesday adopted stringent new regulations for abortion clinics that supporters called a step to protect women but that others called medically unnecessary and a disguised effort to force the closing of the state’s five abortion clinics. The bill, like measures passed last year in Mississippi and Tennessee and last month in North Dakota, would require that doctors performing abortions have admitting privileges at local hospitals. (Snip) The bill will be sent to Gov. Robert Bentley, a Republican, who previously said he planned to sign it. The American Civil Liberties Union said that if the

   

 



 
Dementia Cost, Already High,
Is Projected to Double by 2040

Posted By: LittleHoodedMonk- 4/4/2013 3:21:05 AM     Post Reply
The most rigorous study to date of how much it costs to care for Americans with dementia found that the financial burden is at least as high as that of heart disease or cancer, and is probably higher. And both the costs and the number of people with dementia will more than double within 30 years, skyrocketing at a rate that rarely occurs with a chronic disease. (Snip) Behind the numbers is a sense that the country, facing the aging of the baby boom generation, is unprepared for the coming surge in the cost and cases of dementia. “It’s going to swamp the system,” said Dr. Ronald C. Petersen,

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race.

If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
