"There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." --Theodore Roosevelt
"This nation is in danger of becoming a Third World nightmare with all the corruption, disease, illiteracy, violence and balkanization known all over the world. We need a 10-year moratorium on all immigration to catch our collective breath and we need deportation of over 10 million illegal aliens in a slow and orderly fashion." --Ed Garrison
“The 1987 amnesty was a failure; rather than reducing illegal immigration, it led to an increase,” FAIR stated. “Any new amnesty measure will further weaken respect for our immigration laws. Therefore, all amnesty measures must be defeated.” --Frosty Wooldridge
President barry shits on the United States.

Illegal Aliens cost Florida Hospitals $100 Million
Tallahasse, Florida -- There are between 12 and 20 million illegal aliens in the United States. No one has a hard number on how many illegal's are in the country but the Florida Hospital Association says the cost to hospital is staggering and everyone is paying for it.
Illegal aliens come into this country every day. In fact, more than one million live in Florida.
The influx of illegals has a devastating affect on hospitals through out the state, including Tampa bay.
Carol Plato, who testified before a legislative committee, says the Florida Hospital Association estimates the cost is $100 million for illegal patient care.
And part of the reason the cost is so high, is because illegal aliens often use the emergency room as their primary care physician. Usually illegal's don't have insurance and very little money, which means they can pay the bill. However, that doesn't mean the bill isn't paid. Those who have insurance pick up the difference and that's a major reason things are so expensive when you're in the hospital.
Bruce Rueben, President of the Florida hospital association, says there are unmet costs that have to be met somehow.
Rueben says hospitals can not write off the $100 million debt being caused by illegals. According to Rueben, the hospitals have to cut costs or pass them on to people who can pay. Rueben says that is a big reason why health care costs are so high for people who have insurance.
Among the cases documented for a legislative committee looking into the problem include an illegal alien from Guatemala that ran up $1.5 million s in medical bills from 2001 to 2003 at Martin Memorial Hospital in South Florida.
Carol Plato, who testified before the legislative committee, says lawmakers may question why she was telling them about a case that took place in 2003. However Plato says the case is still going on and the hospital has spent an additional quarter of a million dollars in legal fees. That's because the man's family, in the United States, is suing the hospital because they thought it was inappropriate for the hospital to return the man to Guatemala, his home country.
Many taxpayers we talked to agree with Cathy Allison, who says that people, who are here in the United State, are working hard and paying taxes. Allison says she doesn't think it is fair for people who don't have to pay a thing to get free care. Allison says she has a problem with it.
While people like Allison are upset about the issue, the Florida Hospital Association says there is very little help from international or United States agencies.
Plato told the legislative committee that she has a patient from Mexico who has spent 760 days in her hospital. Plato says the man had severe brain damage. He has no family, no friends and his charges to date are $1.5 million. Plato says the hospital has contacted the Mexican Consulate 4 times, it has contacted Immigration Officials and no one will help get patient back to Mexico.
However some taxpayers agree with Marlene Copperman, who says the illegals are sick and need help. Copperman says hospitals can't let them die on the street.
That is something hospitals won't allow. Rueben says hospitals are going to treat whoever is in need. He says that's what hospitals are fundamentally there for. Rueben says they are not going to turn someone away if they show up at the emergency room in need of health care.
But each time an illegal shows up at a hospital and doesn't pay, you do and estimates are each family in Florida pays at least 315 dollars a year to support people who have come into this country illegally.

Illegal alien charged with selling informant cocaine in Unicoi County
UNICOI — An illegal alien was arrested Tuesday and charged with selling an informant of the Unicoi County Sheriff’s Department 6.5 grams of cocaine, an investigator said.
Sgt. Frank Rogers said Juan Reyes Andnade, 23, 165 Maple St., Gray, sold the cocaine to the informant for $400. Rogers said he listened to the informant count the marked money and signal the deal had been completed.
Investigators stopped the man’s vehicle and found $400 in his right pants pocket. The drug, in two packages, was determined to be cocaine in a field test. It was recovered from the informant.
A search of the vehicle revealed digital scales with a white powder residue, police said. Andnade also did not have a driver’s license.
Andnade was charged with sale of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was being held in the county jail Wednesday in lieu of $50,000 bond. Rogers said U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will be contacted.

obama's amnesty agenda in question
The head of an organization that opposes amnesty for illegal immigrants thinks Barack Obama will back off from his pledge to make the amnesty issue a major priority this year.
Recently a White House official told The New York Times that President Obama plans to begin addressing the country's immigration system this year, including looking for a path for illegal immigrants to become legal. The official said Obama plans to speak publicly about the issue in May and convene working groups over the summer, including lawmakers from both parties and a range of immigration groups to begin discussing legislation for as early as this fall.
Roy Beck, executive director of Numbers USA, thinks the reaction to the story has already been felt at the White House.
"I think there was enough of a response at the end of last week that already some of the White House insiders were backing off," he points out. "That is why I think it is so important for Americans to realize that their influence on policy is not just when they go to the ballot box; it really is all the time."
However, Beck does not believe that means they are out of the woods yet. "There is so much pressure from the open borders groups on the White House. The White House feels somewhat beholden to the open borders groups," he adds. "We're going to have to just fight this thing back all year long."

Number of children born to illegal aliens jumps
WASHINGTON - The number of US-citizen children born to illegal immigrants has dramatically increased over the past five years from 2.7 million in 2003 to 4 million in 2008, according to a study released yesterday.
The report by the nonpartisan, Washington-based Pew Hispanic Center also found that more than a third of such children were in poverty in 2007, compared with about 18 percent of those born to either legal immigrants or US-born parents. Similarly, 1 in 4 US-born children of unauthorized immigrants went without health insurance in 2008, compared with 14 percent of those born to legal immigrants and 8 percent born to US-born parents.
The findings suggest that the impact of the unprecedented spike in illegal immigration over the past three decades will continue to be felt for years to come, even as the size of the illegal immigrant population itself appears to have leveled off since 2006 at about 10.4 million adults and 1.5 million children. Children born on US soil are automatically granted US citizenship.
The study, which analyzed census statistics, found that US-born children now account for 73 percent of all children of illegal immigrants. And children of illegal immigrants - including those born overseas - now account for 6.8 percent of elementary and secondary school students nationwide and more than 1 in 10 students in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada and Texas.
(The Census Bureau does not ask people their immigration status. So the authors used a technique that essentially estimates the number of legal immigrants using other government records such as visas issued, then subtracts that population from the total number of foreign born counted by the census to come up with the number of illegal immigrants.)
The spike in births to unauthorized immigrants is largely due to their relative youth compared with the general population, while many of the challenges faced by their US-born children can be explained by the parents' far lower rates of education and lack of access to jobs where legal status is stringently checked. According to the study, among unauthorized immigrants ages 25 to 65, nearly a third have less than a ninth-grade education compared with 13 percent of legal immigrants and 2 percent of US-born residents.
The findings also reinforced the unprecedented geographic dispersal of illegal immigrants since 1990 across southeastern states with little prior history of immigration.
Massachusetts is home to an average of 190,000 illegal immigrants, according to the Pew study. The latest estimate marks a decline from 2005, when roughly 220,000 illegal immigrants were thought to be living here, but still much higher than the 1990 count of 55,000.
Overall, illegal immigrants make up 3 percent of the state's population, and roughly 20 percent of all immigrants in Massachusetts. About 4.3 percent of the state's labor force, or 140,000 immigrants, are undocumented, compared to with the national average of 5.4 percent.

Illegal alien charged in child rape case
HAMILTON — A Butler County grand jury will consider a charge against an illegal immigrant accused of sexually assaulting a 3-year-old girl, authorities said.
Juan Martinez, 44, of the 1100 block of Edison Avenue, was arrested at his apartment April 8 and charged with rape, according to police records.
Martinez appeared Wednesday, April 15, in Hamilton Municipal Court, where his case was bound over to a Butler County Common Pleas Court grand jury, authorities said.
The charge stems from alleged abuse that occurred in January at a South Sixth Street residence, according to records. At that time, the 3-year-old girl was taken to the Cincinnati Children’s Liberty Campus for a sexual assault examination after she told a family member about the alleged abuse, said Hamilton police Detective Mark Hayes.
The girl told a social worker at the hospital that Martinez, who was a friend of the family, allegedly touched her inappropriately, according to police records.
The arrest occurred a little more than two months after the allegations were made because investigators were gathering evidence, Hayes said.
Martinez is being held in the Butler County Jail on an “immigration holder” and on $250,041 bond for the rape charge. Jail officials said Martinez is an illegal immigrant and eventually will be deported to Mexico regardless of the outcome of the criminal case against him.
If convicted, Martinez faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Study: Illegal Aliens Having More Kids in U.S.
Growing numbers of children of illegal immigrants are being born in the United States, and they are nearly twice as likely to live in poverty than those with American-born parents, a report says.
The study released Tuesday by the Pew Hispanic Center highlights a growing dilemma in the immigration debate: Illegal immigrants' children born in the United States are American citizens, yet they struggle in poverty and uncertainty along with parents who fear deportation, toil largely in low-wage jobs and face layoffs in an ailing economy.
The analysis by Pew, a nonpartisan research organization, found that estimated 11.9 million illegal immigrants made up 5.4 percent of the U.S. work force, primarily in lower-paying farming, construction or janitorial work.
Roughly three out of four of their children -- or 4 million -- were born in the U.S. In 2003, 2.7 million children of illegal immigrants were born in this country.
Overall, illegal immigrants' children account for one of every 15 students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Illegal immigrants also have become more geographically dispersed, increasingly passing up typical destinations like California in favor of jobs in newly emerging Hispanic areas in southeastern states like Georgia and North Carolina.
In 2008, California had the most illegal immigrants at 2.7 million, double its 1990 number, followed by Texas, Florida, New York and New Jersey. Still, California's 22 percent share of the nation's illegal immigrant population was a marked drop-off from its 42 percent share in 1990.
The latest demographic snapshot comes as President Obama is preparing to address the politically sensitive issue of immigration reform later this year, including a proposal to give illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.
Though their numbers have soared over the past two decades, the total number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. has declined or remained flat in the last couple of years. Demographers attribute that to slower rates of migration into the U.S. caused in part by the recession, as well as to deportations and stepped-up immigration enforcement during the Bush administration.
Among the findings:
--One-third of the children of illegal immigrants live in poverty, nearly double the rate for children of U.S.-born parents.
--Illegal immigrants' share of low-wage jobs has grown in recent years, from 10 percent of construction jobs in 2003 to 17 percent in 2008. They also make up 25 percent of workers in farming and 19 percent in building maintenance.
--The 2007 median household income of illegal immigrants was $36,000, compared with $50,000 for U.S.-born residents.
--About 47 percent of illegal immigrant households have children, compared with 21 percent for U.S.-born residents and 35 percent for legal immigrants.
--About 59 percent of illegal immigrants, or 7 million, came from Mexico. Other regions included Asia (11 percent), Central America (11 percent), South America (7 percent), the Caribbean (4 percent) and the Middle East (2 percent).
Earlier this year, the Homeland Security Department's inspector general found that more than 100,000 parents of U.S. citizens were deported over the decade ending in 2007, prompting the department to say it would gather more information about families before deporting immigrants.
