What if they did go away?

 We recieved an email that had a link to an article by someone named Frosty Wooldridge. In it he answers a question from Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernadez. She asked- “They (illegal aliens) pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes…what happens to your country’s economy if 20 million people go away?

 Mr. Wooldridge responds-
If the 3.5 million illegal aliens in California moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on school systems, hospitals and prisons.

 Colorado could save $2 billion to $7 billion, depending on the expert asked ,if the 500,000 illegal aliens and their 300,000 kids and grandkids went back to Mexico. At least 200,000 vehicles would be off the roads in Colorado,  unemployment would vanish and our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.

 Florida would lose 1.5 million illegal aliens would again be an enlish speaking state.

 Closer to home, in Chicago, 2.1 million illegals gone would free up hospitals, schools and prisons.

 How about crime? If we returned the 500,000 illegal alien criminal inmates that cost us more than $1.6 billion a year, would that make a difference? How about if the 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annualy were sent back to Mexico? Or L.A. losing 20,000 members of the “18th Street Gang”?

 If 20 million illegal aliens were deported wouldn’t that clear up crowded highways, give us cleaner air, and help us use less of our resources? Over $80 billion wouldn’t return to their home countries by cash transfers, half of which is untaxed.

 Illegals wouldn’t be having babies here at a cost of $109 billion a year, and hospitals could operate in the black in California, Georgia, Florida, and Texas.

 These are Mr. Wooldridge’s figures not ours. It is not meant by this blogger to be absolute truth. But if even half of his figures are true, it should be a reason to rethink our policies on this. We’re still digging up facts on this and as time allows plan on adding more at a later date. This post is not intended to be racists, prejudicial, or mean spirited, only thought provoking. Comments are welcome.
