When it comes to being generous with other people’s money, Barack Obama has no equal. There are millions of illegal aliens in the U.S. who, it is said, are “hiding in the shadows.” In my part of California they are hiding in plain sight, and in fact are the majority population in some cities. In addition, if by hiding Obama means demanding free public services and benefits like health care and free schooling, I guess he is right.
Obama will claim that many of these illegal aliens pay taxes, and so are entitled to services. But the fact is that low income earners receive a tax rebate called an earned income rebate, depending on how many family members are in the home.
Latin American families here illegally often have many more children than the average U.S. household, and so receive money back from the government, even if they do not earn enough to pay federal income tax. Add to that the average cost to educate a child in California, now standing at $14,500 per year, per child, and it is clear that illegal immigrants are a huge drain on the economy, even if they do pay a small amount in taxes.
But Obama is ignoring enforcement of immigration laws, advising border patrol to cease efforts to track and bring illegals to hearings, and he seems intent on opening our borders and providing amnesty and citizenship to all who are here or who want to come.
One reason is very obvious, he is creating a huge wave of beholden new citizens who will be Democrat voters for life. The fact that Obama is ignoring immigration laws and enforcement is creating another problem as well. Far from hiding in the shadows, the illegal immigrants are feeling entitled and demanding rights and benefits that can only reasonably be offered to citizens of this country.
Instead, there is the perception among illegals that they can demand all manner of benefits with zero concern that they will be denied, or more appropriately, returned to their home country. One example should suffice to make the case that Obama’s open border policy has distorted the perception of those who are here illegally.

ALL Employers should have their Occupational licenses revoked if they hire ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. As for this illegal immigrant, he should simply be temporarily jailed and deported.

This is nothing new – I am an investigator and once was assigned a surveillance case for a Mexican that was in the U.S. illegally, He cut his leg with a machete while working for a company that employed illegals and were sent to different farms in the area of Florida. The injury was real however he was here illegally, we the tax payer were paying for his medical bills, paying workers’ compensation and paying for an investigation that should never have been. Not only are we paying for the investigation, medical bills, workers’ compensation the insurance company eventually had to pay a settlement for his injuries. If you wonder where our Tax dollars are going don’t – illegal immigration is one of the biggest causes of our debt, lack of jobs and big business pushing the train (super pacs donating to the democrats) to ensure they have their cheap labor for a bigger profit………………….
He shouldnt get a dime, just him and his employer should be thrown in jail
Redistribution of wealth…………you or me and our industrial accident would be under investigation………
