Who should we blame for our illegal immigration problem?

So who should we blame for our illegal immigration problem here in the United States?  Below is a list of where we should place the blame, it all traces back to Washington D.C.:

1.  The businesses that hire illegals.  -- It is common knowledge that the agricultural, food processing, restaurant, textile, construction businesses are major employers of illegals.

2.  Past and current Presidents, Congress, and Courts -- Presidents are expected to follow the Constitution and enforce all enacted immigration laws.  All modern Presidents have failed.  The Congress is expected to enact immigration laws that protect the sovereignty of the nation.  All modern Congresses have failed.  The Courts are expected to ensure that all laws enacted protect the citizens and meet Constitutional standards.  By inventing 'rights' for those that are here illegally -- the Courts have failed.      

3.  Sanctuary Cities. -- The Sanctuary City policies prevent local law enforcement officers from checking or reporting a suspects' immigration status.  The firewall between local police and federal immigration authorities prevents local police from assisting federal immigration law enforcement officers in arresting convicted felons that have illegally reentered the United States.

4.  Banks and other financial organizations. -- organizations are making a fortune handling money transfers from illegals sending money back home.  The charge for the international money transfers has been 10 to 20 percent of the amount of money sent.  That is an extremely high price for immigrants to pay to send money home.  According to the Bank of Mexico, the nation's central bank, money sent from the U.S. to Mexico by immigrants is averaging a billion dollars a month.  The money sent back home by immigrants is one of Mexico's largest sources of income, right up there with oil, industry and travel.   

5.  Educational institutions and departments. -- The education industry complains that if they identify illegal students, it would frighten them away from the schools.  And that would mean less money for the education industry.

6.  Federal Medical Laws. -- Federal law requires hospitals to provide emergency care for anyone who seeks it, regardless of immigration status or ability to pay.  So with all this free medical care, it is no surprise that illegals are flooding emergency rooms, because they can't afford to see a doctor.  As a result, hospitals all over the country are forced to close or cut back services because they are overloaded with illegals.

Since 1993, over 60 California hospitals closed because half of the services provided were unpaid.  According to the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, these closures are caused by the illegals.  About 30% of the costs were for child births for 'anchor babies' to illegals.  Illegals are also bringing diseases into the U.S. that had been totally eliminated decades ago.  Diseases like tuberculosis, malaria, leprosy, plague, and polio are now being carried into the U.S. by the illegal immigrants. source

InMuscatine, "Anonymous Cover Fire for Illegals"

It isn’t very often when a “news”paper comes up with an item expressing an opinion so unpopular nobody signs their name to it. Today is such a day with the Des Moines Register.

Valgerd's Hearth, "A Tangle of Bureaucracy - redux"

On May 8, JD Peiper posted "A Tangle of Bureaucracy". He was right on the mark when he brought up the fact that there is this guy who saw fit to not keep his papers up to date. By ignoring the paperwork he over-stayed his legal status...

My Country - My View, "Sheriff Ariaio Says Lock 'Um Up - I agree!"

Sheriff Joe Arpaio thinks he has found the answer to the problem of illegal immigrants in the United States. It's not the National Guard. And it's not amnesty. "Fuhgeddaboudit!" growled Arpaio, his Boston accent unbleached by the desert sun. The sheriff's solution: Lock 'em up.

Hillbilly White Trash, "Don't calm down. . . yet"

I’ve been noticing that a lot of the blogs that have been expressing anger at the sell out on immigration being committed by the President and certain senators are either having second thoughts or are experiencing a kind of emotional burnout. I understand this, but it is a little too soon to let up.

A month ago I wrote a post on Mexico's double standard.

That double standard exists at much higher levels. In the United States, only two posts — the presidency and vice presidency — are reserved for the native born.
