the first thing to show you're not bigoted is to establish what "harm" immigrants are doing. A good grounding in the history of immigration in this country would be helpful in not bringing up the same nonsensical complaints as were made against previous "undesirable" groups.
Then an acknowledgement that it is inevitable and unavoidable that people will seek a better life and the only way to curb undocumented immigration is by vigorously pursuing those who employ them not by harassing poor people seeking a better life for their children.
Direct Harm:
Direct harm illegal immigrants are doing to legal tax-paying citizens of Maryland. The Pew Hispanic Center estimates the illegal alien population in Maryland to be 300,000. The direct cost to Maryland taxpayers forced to support the illegal population include education, health and incarceration. The documented cost of educating from kindergarten to 12th grade the 80,300 children of illegal aliens is more than $966 million annually, according to the July 2010 report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform. An additional $250 million is spent providing special English instruction to an estimated 35,000 children of illegal aliens. The total cost for educating the children of illegals is more than $1.2 billion a year. Health care for illegals in Maryland costs $167 million a year and incarceration of illegal alien criminals costs $29 million.
Indirect harm:
The illegal alien invasion of Maryland has resulted in a corresponding increase in violent crimes, criminal gang activity, threats to public health, and jobs taken from legal American citizens. This indirect harn, though incalculable, is no doubt substantial.
Maryland has an estimated budget deficit of more than $1 billion, but would have a surplus were it not for the costs of supporting the illegal alien population.
It is indeed inevitable and unavoidable that people will seek a better life but the first thing to show your veracity is to stop calling them undocumented and call them what they are...ILLEGAL.
I am sure you are aware that it is the employer's responsibility to deduct taxes from their employees pay. That those revenues are not remitted to the fed seems to call the employer to task for fraud and grand theft from the federal govt. This would be a felony.
Unless they live under a bridge they are paying rent or mortgage thus they pay property tax. Whenever they buy anything they would pay sales tax.
So you see they pay all the taxes you pay but recieve few of the benifits due to taxpayers. Rather than being a harm they are putting into the general fund withoug being compensated.
Then an acknowledgement that the best way to curb ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION is to secure our borders, immediately return illegal border crossers back across the border, outlaw sanctuary jurisidictions and organizations like CASA de Maryland, La Raza, et al which aid and abet illegal immigrants in large part with legal citizens' tax-dollars, virgorously persue and deport ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS and their children who "game the system" to get more benefits from all levels of government than the average legal American Senior Citizen or Military Veteran and, lastly, close down those who employ ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
To those non-bigots with a three digit iq and a pulse
It works like this.
Crossing the boarder illegally is a misdomeanor.
Hiring someone who has crossed the boarder illegally is a federal felony punishable by 5 years in the federal slam(no parole from federal custody...a day showing is a day owing...no time off for good behavior) and $250,000 fine for each violaton. When several thousand ceo are doing 100+ years in the federal slam and the fed treasury is trillions of dollars richer (estimated 12 million who have crossed the boarder illegally X $250,000=3,000,000,000,000)who would hire someone who had crossed he boarder illegally?
The above can be accomplished with no cost to the taxpayer and positive cashflow to the treasury. The only reason anyone could have to waste taxpayers money chasing down those brown people you seem to hate so much would be bigotry.
Simply stated since there would be no work here they would go home as has been evidenced by recent developments(more mexicans crossing the boarder south than north.
