As an aficionado of illegal alien sob stories, I read with interest this standard-issue item ["Family that built life in Kern faces deportation", by Rosemary Ortiz, Bakersfield Californian, January 6 2005] about Mexican nationals being repatriated.
The parents and older son had broken in to the U.S. 14 years ago and now were being given a one-way ticket from Bakersfield back to Nayarit. The story had the appealing family photo with cutesy kids (two were born in America — citizens!).
But buried deep in this melodrama was a shocker — the Chavez family was too healthy for its own immigration status good!
If their sob story had been more extreme — and medical — they likely could have remained in the generous USA.
"The Chavezes' lawyer told them in cases such as theirs, U.S.-born children with some type of mental or physical problem have a better chance at winning legal residency [BW emphasis] for their parents."
That’s just great!
California has $26 billion of budget-related debt (not counting the $30 billion in bonds for school construction, etc.). Yet the economically psychotic do-gooders in the immigration bureaucracy are actually continuing to recruit more illegal alien medical cases for the taxpayers to underwrite.
When you are in a hole, the first step toward recovery is to stop digging
That Bear Stearns report supporting my layman’s estimate of 18-20 million illegals is downloadable here [pdf].
