The United States of Illegal Immigrants








The Fairbank Report has extensively chronicled the massive problem of uncontrolled illegal immigration into the United States and, in particular, into the Los Angeles area. See the archived articles.

Today, we learn from the Pew Center that there are about 12 million illegal immigrants, who are mainly from Latin America, in the United States and that 1 out of every 20 working adults in America is an illegal immigrant. Staggering. Yet, for those of us who have studied the issue (and indeed have lived the experience in Los Angeles), the numbers appear somewhat understated.

Our own studies show that there are about 20 million illegal immigrants in the United States and that it costs the various levels of government in the United States about $100 BILLION per annum to take care of these illegal immigrants. And then there are the intangible costs, such as pollution, traffic congestion, infrastructural degradation and other such quality of life issues.

Yet, our politicians and media elites want even more illegal immigrants! How many cheap baby-sitters and house maids do these elites need?!

WAKE UP, AMERICA. AMERICA, AS WE KNOW IT, IS ON LIFE SUPPORT.
