Yeah, what they said!

This was on the Russian Mosin Nagant Forum. Just thought is should be shared anywhere and everywhere.

Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote a column titled, "Mexican visitor's lament" -- 10/25/07.

She interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said,

"They (illegal aliens) pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes...what happens to your country's economy if 20 million people go away?"

That's a good question – it deserves an answer. Over 80 percent of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers may surprise you!

In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupted hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominate language again.

In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grand-kids – would move back "home," mostly to Mexico. That would save Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 BIL) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.

Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.

Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67 percent drop out/flunk out rate via thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado. Denver's four percent unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.
In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America, the rule of law and English.
In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.

If 20 million illegal aliens returned "home" --

If 20 million illegal aliens returned "home," the U.S. economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn't be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local state and city coffers.

No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must content with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.

We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country. In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the "18th Street Gang" would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!

Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens!

Drain on America's economy; taxpayers harmed, employers get rich

Over $80 billion annually wouldn't return to their home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America's economy – which currently suffers an $8.7 trillion debt.

At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupted out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act. Americans wouldn't suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country—brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.

Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities. It would also put the "progressives" on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11 percent of our greenhouse gases.

Week after

I went to the city council meeting tonight. I got there a bit early tonight. Council members were pretty friendly tonight. Most of the comments were that I made a good run at a seat. I told Lane Yack that there's always next time. He said no I can't do that, I'd beat him. Well duh, that would be the purpose. What else am I supposed to use all my signs for? Brad Hancock said he hasn't seen a non-incumbent get that many votes their first time around. So I guess my 319 votes was pretty darn good.

Election is over

Well, this year's election is over. I didn't win this time, but I will try again next time. We spent an hour picking up what signs we could find. Some were gone long before election day, others were gone tonight before we could get to them. They're just a head start for next time.

One Week

It is now one week from election day.

Saturday morning I put some signs up around town before we headed out to the city to go get some family pictures done. We left town around 11 am. At that time, I was the only person with ANY signs out. When we got home around 9:30 pm there were some signs up by an incumbent. One of which was BLOCKING the view of one of my signs. I have since put more up near where others have put their signs, but I'm the bigger person and haven't blocked anyone's signs.

Election

I had a customer at work talk to be about my election coming up today. He was very supportive even though he cannot vote for be because he lives in another town. He told me about someone he knows who is building a cafe in a nearby town that wanted to build in Roosevelt. The guy was denied the building permit on the basis that the council felt they needed to protect the existing established businesses. Sounded like the typical "protect the good ol' boys club" at it's finest.

Things like that are what I plan on fighting for when I win this election next month. Many in this city are tired of seeing growth all around while this town is basically stagnant when it comes to real tax base contributing businesses.

City Council Meeting

I went to another city council meeting tonight. Not too much excitement to report. Fire department is wanting trucks in their fleet replaced. They are in dire need of some replacements from what I hear from a friend that is on the department.

A second phase to a subdivision was approved. I failed to ask the question I wanted to because they pushed things through pretty quick. I'd like to know if they are requiring new subdivisions to stub in for the sand wash secondary water. Most likely not because this council as those in the past have a problem looking far ahead into the future.

The police chief, who really doesn't have much care when it comes to how he looks. Pants sagging, black denims not dress pants, stands slouched. I just get the impression he doesn't have any respect for the title he holds. Anyway, he was asking for a raise across the board for his officers. Besides one officer who has been on the force for a long time, the oldest one has only been there for 6 years. 6 have been there under a year and a half.

Not much else went on to report about. They went into executive session again which means it was time for me to go home. Hopefully one day I can find out what that will be like.

Sample Ballot



It's still true, I got the "sample ballot" in the mail today!

City Council

I am running for city council in this wonderful town in which I live. There are multiple reasons why. Some would be this town could use some "young blood" on the council, I've always wanted to try it, and it'll be a good experience WHEN I win.
