Update on San Fran-sicko

On a 10-1 vote the board of supervisors in San Francisco has passed the measure to give identification cards to illegals.

This is a huge mistake and lets hope the trend does not catch on. For more news on the board of supervisors, read one of my older blogs here.

The Story.

UPDATE:

A lot of people are not fully aware of what an ID card is used for. It's not a drivers license at all but it can be used for many things. Here is a small list of things it can be used for according to http://www.dmv.org/id-cards.php

DMV:

"Having some form of photo ID is critical in our world today; you need to be
able to prove you are who you say you are in many situations. You'll need a
picture ID to board an airplane, get a job, set up bank accounts, and in order
to make certain purchases."

Having a bank account can get them home loans and studen loans and car loans. You pretty much are giving them every right to be an American, when they entered this country illegally. There are hundres to thousands of people waiting daily to enter this country by legal means.

10 Facts about illegal immigrants:

1. More than 43% of all Food Stamps are given to illegals.
2. 95% of warrants issued for murder in Los Angeles are for illegals.
3. Less than 2% of illegals are picking crops, but 41% of them are on welfare.
4. More than 66% of all births in California are to illegals on Medi-Cal, Paid by the US Taxpayer.
5. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties in the U.S. are illegals.
6. More than 39% of the sudents in California, grade 1-12 are illegals.
7. 75% of L.A.'s Most Wanted are illegals
8. More than half of all gang members are illegals.
9. U.S. companies using illegals in 2005 profited over $2.36 trillion.
10. U.S. Tax payers are footing the bill for ALL illegals

I'm by no means racist or a hate monger. But I do believe that we need to have people migrate to this country to work. But those people need to be here legally. We need upstanding citizens who contribute, not just take.

A common arguement from illegals to Americans if we deport them, is that our economy would collapse. I'd beg to differ. We'd have a lot more of our tax payer money available and reasons to lower our taxes.

I'm also against amnesty. But I would love to see these people back here in this country working. But I'd like to see them do it legally, learn our language, and pay taxes like the rest of us.

There are about 7.2 million undocumented workers in the U.S., or about 5 percent of the country's work force. Imagine how much burden that would relieve from us Americans who abide by the law. There's no reason why we should live and die for our freedom, and they reap the benefits from it.
