Today in WaPo's Metro section was an article about two teenage girls in Virginia Beach who were killed by - wait for it, wait for it - an illegal alien drunk driver. And what's neater is that he had been convicted before of - drunken driving! Wahoo! Now Virginia Beach residents are getting riled up about illegal immigration. Hmmm.
I guess if folks like La Raza had their way, the whole US would be a lawless cesspool like Mexico. Fortunately not everyone is an open-borders idiot.
Here are five costs of uncontrolled illegal immigration:
1. Crime - including gang activity, rapes, murders, identity fraud and, yes, drunk driving.
2. Healthcare burden - of course they don't have insurance.
3. Education burden - don't speak English, no problem! The taxpayers will pay for more ESL and other "assimilation" programs!
4. Social services burden - welfare and food stamps anyone? No money for children, but what the hell? Everything's free in the US!
5. Increase in US poverty level. Although there's little way of actually knowing how much -to what extent- illegal immigration increases the poverty level but look - the (minimum of) 12 million illegals in this country are generally poorly educated, low-wage workers, many of them with children to support.
Anyway, food for thought. I'm sure to come up with another five costs of illegal immigration soon.
