據美國移民研究中心（CIS）最新報告統計，2000年以來7年間，有1千3百萬移民湧入美國。按此速度，今後10年，預計將再有1千5百萬移民來到美國，將成為美國曆史上最大的移民潮。
然而，這些移民中，有5百60萬是非法移民。
在美國，有3千9百萬移民，占人口的12。6%，而至少有1千2百萬人是非法移民。他們主要來自墨西哥和中南美洲。
大量的非法移民湧向美國，美國在進口貧困。
這種現象直接衝擊著美國的公共政策，也是美國大選的主要話題之一。
民主黨候選人希拉莉提出的全民保險計劃，聽起來很好，但跟其他民主黨的一切綱領一樣，好聽不可行。
民主黨說4千8百萬的美國人沒有保險。然後，據統計，34%的移民家庭，即1千3百萬的移民沒有保險，這裏麵，有8百30萬沒保險的是非法移民，占全國沒保險人口的18%，如果算上他們在美國出生的孩子的話。
然而，美國政府對於這些沒保險的非法移民是非常慷慨的。這些非法移民不納稅，大部分收入返回自己的祖國，然而他們生病去醫院的賬單卻由美國政府買單。即使假設非法移民隻用其他人所使用的保健資源的一半的話，他們每年消耗了美國納稅人300個億。
從1989年以來，美國沒保險的人口的增長中71%是移民和他們在美國出生的小孩。在民主黨的全民保險計劃中，這一點被忽略掉。
此外，59%的非法移民和他們的孩子是屬於貧困或接近貧困線的。
在全國範圍裏，非法移民中有40%享有美國政府的福利。其中33%的非移民拿食品券，27%的非法移民拿醫療補助。
美國每年除了要花上百億的錢付非法移民的福利以外，還要支付非法移民犯罪分子進監獄的一切費用。
美國雖然是移民國家，但失控的非法移民已經給美國納稅人以沉重的負擔。
54%的非法移民居住在加州，德州，亞利桑那州和佛州，每年光福利這一項就花去這幾個州納稅人200億美元。
在美國能拿到福利，更吸引更多的非法移民來美國。這些人沒有什麽技能和文化，在美國，他們成為半永久居住，靠福利生存的貧民階層。
對待這些非法移民怎麽辦？共和黨有人提出加強邊界管製，遣返犯罪分子，懲罰雇傭非法移民的雇主。民主黨有人提出要非法移民合法化。這些都似乎不能有效地根本地解決問題。
不過可以指出，希拉莉所鼓吹的所謂全民保險計劃是異想天開，自相矛盾。如果不解決非法移民的保險問題，怎麽會是全民保險。要給非法移民保險，這筆錢由誰出？給他們保，是不是在鼓勵非法移民？
別忘了，美國政府的錢就是你我納稅人的錢。你願意把你的錢花在國家安全上，讓人民自己來決定自己的事情, 還是花在均貧富上，來負擔那些隻拿不出的非法移民的福利，讓政府來管理你的財產。
這是你要考慮投共和黨還是民主黨一票的基本點。
Republicans winning new citizens for 2008 vote
By Toby Harnden in San Diego, California
Last Updated: 12:01am GMT 10/11/2007
Minutes after taking the Pledge of Allegiance, new American citizens are urged to register as voters by Democratic activists who see them as natural party supporters who could hold the key to the 2008 election.
But with increasing illegal immigration threatening the economy and security of the United States, many legal immigrants anxious to uphold the laws of their adopted country are moving towards the more hard-line immigration stance of Republicans.
Even in California’s Democratic-controlled San Diego, sizeable numbers of America’s newly-minted potential voters said that illegal immigrants should be penalised rather than given an easy route to citizenship as most Democrats advocate.
“For a long time, immigration was OK,” said Sara Wright, 49, a seamstress from Mexico who arrived in the US legally in 1986.
“But now, no more. A lot of really bad people come from Mexico and commit crimes.
“People are coming in and having two, three, four babies and going on welfare. Some are making money here and spending it back in Mexico.
"That’s not right. They should go back to Mexico and get a permit.”
Mrs Wright, whose American-born husband Ed served in the US Navy, was one of 1,591 people from 89 countries who became citizens at a ceremony in San Diego’s Golden Hall on Tuesday.
Nearly two thirds of them were from Mexico, whose border is just 17 miles from the city.
During the 40-minute ceremony, performed by a judge, the new citizens waved American flags, sang “America the Beautiful” and raised their rights hands as they repeated the oath to “abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty” of another nation.

Some men wore ties emblazoned with the stars and stripes while many women dressed in red, white and blue.
After the oath, some wept, others hugged one another and many turned to the public gallery and flashed broad smiles.
With the number of illegal aliens in the US estimated at anything between eight and 20 million people out of a population of around 303 million, how to deal with the problem is becoming an explosive political issue in the 2008 campaign.
President George W. Bush’s plan to provide a “path to citizenship” was rejected by Congress and branded an “amnesty” by many senior Republicans.
Hillary Clinton’s status as front runner for the White House was damaged recently when she declined to criticise a plan in New York state to give driver’s licences to illegal immigrants.
Previously, new citizens could be relied upon to vote Democratic by a ratio of up to 10 to one. But in San Diego this week there were indications that this could be changing.
“I’ve had several people here, Hispanic people, say ‘No, I’m a Republican’,” said Bill De Risa, a Democratic worker eagerly registering voters outside Golden Hall.
His colleague Mary Kennedy said that one woman had told her she wanted to be a Republican because of immigration policy.
“She felt the Democrats were too soft. She wanted higher fences. It’s a very polarising issue.”
Sarah Thomas, 42, a restaurateur originally from Salway Ash, Dorset and one of about two dozen Britons who took US citizenship, said illegal immigrants should be sent home.
“They need to leave and come back legally.
“Just because somebody has been here for 10 years illegally, not paying taxes, does that give them equal rights? No.”
John Pauls, 46, a Canadian-born doctor, said that illegal immigrants were a major burden on the taxpayers who had to foot their health bills and that insecure borders could allow terrorists to come into the US.
“Those that do come into this country illegally are telling us that they are morally and ethically not trustworthy. They should not be here. It’s insulting to those of us who are here legally.”
我這篇文章說的是“非法”移民的失控對美國公共政策的影響和民主黨候選人在全民保險問題上對公眾的誤導。
你說的那些跟我說的沒什麽關係。我說過了，沒用移民就沒有美國。
但“非法”移民在衝擊合法移民和破壞美國公共政策。33%在押犯人是非法進入美國的，沒被抓住的，沒被定罪的更多。
電視上每次報道對兒童性侵害和拐賣的案件幾乎都同來自墨西哥和中南美洲的非法移民有關。
沒有移民就沒有美國，這時基本的道理。
但是，失控的非法移民衝擊合法移民和公共政策，則是必須麵對的事實。
5% of total tax payers (who make $350,000.00 a year) contribute 50% of all US income tax. 50% tax payers only contribute 3% of total us income tax.
So who is doing whom a favor?
A portion of them do pay income tax (if their employer reports it). In fact the tax law in this country specifically prevents the immigration service from obtaining and using tax information to prosecute the illegal immigrants...so that the government can make more tax revenues.
Yes, some of them don't pay income tax...but everyone will have to pay sales tax. (Texas, for example, charges 8.25%). And, those who bought real property will also have to pay property tax. Those who opened their own business will have to pay franchise taxes too.
If these people pay taxes, surely they are entitled to receive accompanying benefits. The Democrats are advocating for what the people truly deserve (unless you would prefer to have them die on the streets). Your article above failed to take these things into consideration.
Illegal Immigration
Click here for publications on this topic
The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) estimates that in January of 2000 there were
7 million illegal aliens living in the United States, a number that is growing by half a million a year. Thus, the illegal-alien population in 2003 stands at at least 8 million. Included in this estimate are approximately 78,000 illegal aliens from countries who are of special concern in the war on terror. It is important to note that the 500,000 annual increase is the net growth in the illegal-alien population (new illegal immigration minus deaths, legalizations, and out-migration). In 1999 for example, the INS estimates that 968,000 new illegal aliens settled in the U.S. This number was offset by 210,000 illegal aliens who either died or returned home on their own, 63,000 who were removed by the INS, and 183,000 illegal aliens who were given green cards as part of the normal "legal" immigration process. One of the most important findings of the INS report is the intimate link between legal and illegal immigration. The INS estimates that it gave out 1.5 million green cards to illegal aliens in the 1990s. This was not due to amnesty legislation, but rather reflects how the legal immigration process embraces illegal immigration and encourages it through legal exemptions. According to the INS, only 412,000 illegal aliens were removed during the decade.
The Census Bureau has also developed estimates of its own. Their estimate at the time of the 2000 Census suggests that the illegal immigration population was about 8 million. Using this number, it can be concluded that the illegal-alien population grew by almost half a million a year in the 1990s. This conclusion is derived from a draft report given to the House immigration subcommittee by the INS that estimated the illegal population was 3.5 million in 1990. For the illegal population to have reached 8 million by 2000, the net increase had to be 400,000 to 500,000 per year during the 1990s.
The two "magnets" which attract illegal aliens are jobs and family connections. The typical Mexican worker earns one-tenth his American counterpart, and numerous American businesses are willing to hire cheap, compliant labor from abroad; such businesses are seldom punished because our country lacks a viable system to verify new hires' work eligibility. In addition, communities of recently arrived legal immigrants help create immigration networks used by illegal aliens and serve as incubators for illegal immigration, providing jobs, housing, and entree to America for illegal-alien relatives and fellow countrymen.
The standard response to illegal immigration has been increased border enforcement. And, in fact, such tightening of the border was long overdue. But there has been almost no attention paid to enforcement at worksites within the United States. Nor has there been any recognition that the networks created by high levels of legal immigration contribute to mass illegal immigration.
