USA Today: Evangelical Leader Calls for Kinder, Gentler Immigration Laws

Galen Carey of the National Association of Evangelicals called for Congress to "pass meaningful immigration reform this year" today in a conference call with other faith leaders. Members of the group said they are trying to create a grassroots, church-based movement to press for passage of legislation. "The Catholic Church and all its sister organizations will step up our efforts to educate across the economic and political divide," said Father Jon Pedigo, pastor of St. Julie Billiart parish in San Jose.

Border Patrol Agents in the Tucson Sector in mid-October of 2009 and asked if they believe the official DHS statement that three illegal aliens successfully enter the United States for every one who is apprehended, they laughed. The reality, they said, is that 10 or more get through for every one who is caught. Any person who hasn't been brain-washed by the Liberal press or a government with something to hide? Is fully aware that the idiotic numbers of the occupational illegal aliens and families, is hardly 12 million? Ask NUMBERSUSA or JUDICIAL WATCH, who estimate between 20 to 30 million illegal aliens in America. Which is a conservative figure.

This was a letter written by a ER Doctor in the almost bankrupt state of the SANCTUARY STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

“I I live and work in a border state overrun with illegals; they make more money having kids than we earn working full time. Today I had a 25 yr old with 8 kids ~ that’s right 8! All are illegal anchor babies, and she had the nicest nails, cell phone, hand bag, clothing. etc. She makes about $1500 monthly for each; do the math. I used to say “we are the dumbest nation on earth.” Now I must say and sadly admit, YOU are the dumbest people on earth (that includes me) for we elected the idiot ideologues who have passed the bills that allow this. Sorry ~ we need a revolution! Vote em all out in 2010!”

SHE NOTES:
If an immigrant is over 65, they can apply for SSI and Medicaid and get more than a woman on Social Security, who worked from 1944 until 2004..
She is only getting $791 per month because she was born in 1924 and there’s a ‘catch 22’.
It is interesting that the federal government provides a single refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890. Each can also obtain an additional $580 in social assistance, for a total of $2,470 a month.
This compares to a single pensioner, who after contributing to the growth and development of America for 40 to 50 years, can only receive a monthly maximum of $1,012 in old age pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement.

Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees!
