Hundreds of Illegal Aliens Fill Prison Beds in Utah

None by KCPW

Each year 6 million Utah taxpayer dollars are spent housing undocumented workers at the state prison. Utah Department of Corrections Deputy Director Christine Mitchell says five percent of the prison population is illegal and most come from Mexico.

Most of the time, Mitchell says the illegal alien inmates are handed over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement after they've finished their prison time. She says the Utah Court system tends to imprison the most serious offenders rather than hand them over for deportation.

"The child sex offenders, murderers, rapists, robbers," says Mitchell. "The first degree offenders, the long-sentence offenses, are the ones we see illegal aliens in prison for."

Mitchell says the federal government has recently acknowledged the financial impact to states of keeping illegal aliens in state correctional systems. However, federal reimbursement for Utah's alien prison population has now declined from over two million dollars in the year 2000 to just $360,000 in 2006.

Exposing The Open Border Lobby

Cheap Labor?

Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is all about?

The corporate CARTELS do not want to pay a decent wage, health benefits to U.S. citizens, consumers don't want expensive produce, Certain Senators will inform you that Americans don't want the jobs, so the bottom line is cheap labor. "The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a liberal spin, newspaper rhetoric, a farce, and a lie.

There is no such thing as "cheap labor." EXCEPT TO EMPLOYERS!

Take, for example, an illegal Mexican, someone from Jamiaca, or Guatemala or anywhere who sneaks across our porous border with his wife and five children. Once an illegal alien pregnant mother steals into our homeland, the baby automatically becomes a citizen. (In truth, this amendment to our Constitution was never meant for this ) But as Anchor babies they are allowed the same rights as a citizen.

He finds a job for five or six dollars an hour.

At that wage with six dependents he pays NO income tax, yet at the end of the year if he files income tax return he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 FREE.

The family qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.

The family qualifies for food stamps.

The family qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.

Their children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.

Their children get bilingual teachers and books.

The family qualifies for relief from high energy bills.

If he gets hurt, he gets Free Emergency hospital care.

In many instances, the employer has him dropped off at the Institution.

If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled they qualify for SSI. Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for medicare.

All of this is at that taxpayers expense.

He doesn't have to worry about car insurance, life insurance.

The government of the foreign national aliens, has reduced their liabilities and removed millions of poor, uneducated people on America, and we get saddled with the bill.

In conclusion, the disgusting anti-American Senate bill gets passed, we will be supporting between 66 to 100 million more immigrants within 20 years. This is according to the non-profit Heritage Foundation, authored and calculated by Robert Rector. In addition, the estimate for this so called comprehensive immigration travesty is estimated to cost the taxpayers approximately 90 billion dollars a year.

AMERICA enough is enough!

THIS IS NOW HAPPENING IN ALL 50 STATES. PRES. BUSH HAS ANNOUNCED VIA ROBERTO PASTOR THAT HE WILL BE GETTING RID OF OUR BORDERS AND JOINING MEXICO WITH THE U.S. AND ALSO CANADA TO MAKE ONE NEW UNION - THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION. APPARENTLY, THAT IS WHY HE WANTS ALL THESE MEXICAN ILLEGALS IN OUR COUNTRY. MEXICO HAS TROOPS I UNDERSTAND ON THEIR SOUTHERN BORDER TO STOP ANY ILLEGALS COMING INTO THEIR COUNTRY ILLEGALLY. A RECENT ARTICLE IN OUR NEWSPAPER IN AZ SHOWED THAT MEXICO RAPES, ROBS AND MURDERS THEIR ILLEGALS APART FROM IMPRISONING THEM. IT SAID THEY PROFILED ONE DARK MAN WHO THEY THOUGHT WAS A CENTRAL AMERICAN ILLEGAL AND SHOT HIM. HE TURNED OUT TO BE A MEXICAN INDIGENOUS (MEXICO TREATS THEIR INDIGENOUS HORRIBLY).IN MEXICO, IT IS A FELONY TO SNEAK INTO MEXICO ILLEGALLY (IS THAT CALLED HYPOCRISY OR WHAT!) BUSH WANTS HIS ERASURE OF OUR BORDERS AND THIS NORTH AMERICAN COMMUNITY (GOOGLE THESE 3 WORDS) DONE BY 2011. FUNNY, I DON'T REMEMBER HIM ASKING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. ARE WE NOW A DICTATORSHIP? SOMEONE JUST TOLD ME 8,000 U.S. HOSPITALS HAVE NOW GONE BANKRUPT AND CLOSED BECAUSE OF ILLEGAL ALIENS. 1/3 OF EVERYONE IN OUR U.S. PRISONS ARE ILLEGALS AND 85% OF CHILD MOLESTERS IN U.S. ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS (THEY ARE NOT "IMMIGRANTS" = THIS WORD IS SUPPOSED TO BE USED ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO COME LEGALLY.) IF ANYONE WANTS THIS ARTICLE . WRITE ME.

The most Massive Invasion in World History! They are changing our Culture, Economy & Environment. The Invaders are not Assimilating, Americans are & in time this Nation will be nearly an Mirror Image of Mexico!

This Changing of our Nation seems to be what most Politicians Desire. Where the Elite. Powerful & Corrupt rule & the rest of us are Poor, Powerless, & the Servants of the Rich & Corrupt!

The largest and most violent gangs in the USA are made up of mostly illegal aliens, the MS-13 gang 30,000 strong, & in over 33 major cities is one of the most violent and ruthless gang ever known. The 18th street gang in L.A. is 20,000 strong made up of illegal aliens.

There are over 4000 homicide warrants issued for Illegal Aliens that Committed crimes & have flee back across the Border and protected by the Mexican government.

1/3 of all federal prisoners are "illegal aliens"!

95% of all outstanding warrants for homicide are for illegal aliens!

66% of all fugitive felony warrants are for illegal aliens!

Top officials at the Department of Homeland Security recently revealed that arrests for child sex crimes during the first two years of Operation Predator have exceeded 6,000 and 85 per cent of them are criminal immigrants.

Millions of Americans are enslaved by the estimated 128 billions dollars of drugs pouring across our Open Borders Annually! The drug dealers are aided by Corrupt Government officials at all levels in Mexico & lack of concern by our Politicians here! Drugs, alone with oil and remittance of an estimated 20 Billions dollars per year from Illegal Aliens in the USA are the primary source of income in Mexico & prop up the corrupt government there!

Illegal Aliens are importing all kinds of contagion diseases like T.B that is drug resistance & that was once eradicated in this country and all kinds of other diseases are coming across our open borders! Tens of thousands of Americans citizens’ are contacting type A & B liver diseases from feces on food handled in the food industry by Illegal Aliens.

Is letting American taxpayers pay their medical bills, educating their many children, while they suck at the trough of public welfare, start having kids at 16 and 1 per year thereafter, with an average and 6 grade education and 50 percent school drop out rate. Is this the Family values the President is speaking of?

How are we going to provide Welfare for people with an Average 6 grade Education & an 50% school drop rate? We are going to become another third World Cesspool like Mexico & experience an widening ever increasing gap between the poor & rich and destroy the middle class, which alone with a common Language is an big part of the glue that holds an society together.

This country will tear itself apart as diverse groups each compete for decreasing resources and align their selves with their own ethnic & religious groups at the expense of other groups. We are seeing the results now as Illegal Aliens demand their own Language, More Benefits & Loyally not to American, but to Mexico! Without the Work, Sacrifice & Service that made this Nation! Here they Protest & Demand & Wave Mexican flags and tell us they are going to take this country & tell us when they get power, they will kill us. Americans had better listen & damn sure better believe them, because we can expect no mercy when they get in control. The Country that give them Jobs, Free Medical Care, Welfare, Educated their Children inspires only Hate & Contempt! In their Culture Compassion is an sign of Weakness & begets Contempt & Hate, not Gratitude!

The greed displayed by Companies & Business for profits at the expense of American citizens & our standard of living, coupled with the Pandering of our Politicians for money & votes, at any cost, without considering the future or the results of their policies is & will, in time completely destroy this country & the American dream!.

American will know longer be a melting pot with a common goal of building a better country and future for all citizens, but each group out for their selves like the tribal & religious wars we see in Iraq & in many counties around the world!

Our President was a doper, drunker, and womanizes & a failure at every job he had. The whole world realizes he is not too bright, or well read in History or our Constitution. In fact, he has been quoted as saying our Constitution is just another damn piece of paper!

The Corpulent Corrupt Slug Turd Blossom is his political brain. The intent is to increase the Latino vote for the Republican party & get Business donations for the Slave labor, at any cost to the Nation or American Citizens!

But to be fair, it should be recognized that the Democrat party is even worse & they view Latinos as just more votes for their party. Either Party is doing this out of any compassion for the Illegal Aliens but using them to service their own priorities of votes & money! Both parties are playing a dangerous game that in time will destroy them as surly as it will destroy this Nation!

The Catholic Church that is Encouraging & Supporting this Illegal Invasion has always been associated with Socialism, Poverty, Corruption & Worse! It is know accident that is nearly all Counties where Catholics are the primary religion there are 3 things in Common, Rampant Corruption, Unconstrained breeding rate, & Grinding poverty! Prolific breeding means more Catholics, more Poverty & less Education & that means they are more amenable & dependent on the church & to the church Dogma!

Hundreds of thousands of American Citizens have lost their jobs in the construction industry while the housing costs have soared, because they cannot live on Slave wages like the peons, in point of fact, the peons cannot survive on the wages they are paid without the Billions of tax dollars from legal American Citizens. They have also taken over the jobs food industry & are in nearly every fast food place and restaurant in the USA & the same for landscaping, meat packing plants, motels & hotels coast to coast, etc.

Businesses prefer hiring, wherever possible, Illegal Aliens even at the same wages. Because working off the books they can avoid the Social Security cost & other costs involved with hiring an legal American Citizen & do not have to worry about labor laws or decent treatment of their workers.

All of this occurring while 46 million American citizens have no insurance or medical care, millions of American kids & American Citizens living in poverty, our veterans without decent medical care, 400 million dollar deficit & hundreds of trillions in debt!

Our school system & medical faculties are going broke and the quality of education & medical care is decreasing & approaching a third world level. Due in a great part of the influx of Illegal Aliens & the strain they place on our education and medical faculties.

The requirement that be taught in Spanish instead of English & government material be in Spanish is one more sign of the destroying of the bonds that holds a nation together! A common Language, an large middle class, & upper mobility & dreams of a better future are all necessary ingredients to holding, building and maintaining a great Nation.

The best estimates put the economic costs & lowing our standard of living at 200 billions per year and growing rapidly. In addition to lowing our standard of living it costs the tax payers another 100 to 150 billion both at the State & Federal level in increased taxes to provide the benefit’s they receive & the lost of taxes due to the under ground economic because most are working off the books and pay no taxes!

Although, no one knows for sure , the number of the Illegal Aliens in the USA, the best independent estimates are there are 20 to 30 millions here Illegally, not the 11 to 12 million claimed by the Government!

Nearly all Illegal Aliens take full advantage of our social welfare services & are very well informed about how to get benefits Legally or Illegally. They have an informal, but highly effective means thru. Cell phones & word of mouth of informing others when any new scan is discovered to get benefits. They really see nothing wrong with this because Corruption is just a fact of life in Latin American & almost necessary to survive.

Due to their prolific breeding & the up to10 thousand pouring across our open borders daily we are crating a vast underclass that will soon exceed the taxpayers ability ( even with the Presidents outrageous deficits) to provide their medical benefits, educate their many children & anchor babies and provide the numerous benefits they are currently getting.

When that day occurs we will have riots, fires and civil war coast to coast that will make what occurred in French recently look benign. The problems in Europe were caused by the same Insane policies of importing cheap labor & having a large unassimilated lower class on the public dole & no loyally to the country where they live.

The President ask our young men to fight and die in the service for our country at the same time he is aiding, encouraging, & facilitated an Illegal Invasion of their Country in direct violation of his Oath of Office & the US Constitution, Article IV Section 4!

He is providing 21 century Slaves to greedy businesses and corporations by supporting an Illegal Invasion! Then after he floods the Nation with Illegal Aliens again in direct violation of Article IV Section 4 of our Constitution & his oath of office. He wants to reward them with green cards, which is Amnesty at the expense of American Citizens & legal Immigrants.

This policy is a slap in the face to American taxpayers & the Millions of people around the world that play by the rules and dream of living in this country legally, assimilating and building a better society & contributing to the American Dream. Instead of maintaining loyalty to their Native country, while having hate & scorn for American, American Citizens & American Ideals!

The Mexican education systems teach that all the problems there are due to American & that the Southwest belongs to Mexico. By teaching this & exporting their poverty to the USA it takes the pressure off reforming their government & providing a better standard of living for their Citizens. While advancing their cause of exerting Political & Culture influence over this country by maintaining their citizens loyally to their home country & the eventual annexing of the Southern States!

This government Policy on Illegal Aliens contributes to maintaining & keeping the Corrupt governments in power & the sub par standard of living in Latin American.

It seems the Politicians Ideal of a great society & Nation is Mexico where the Rich & Corrupt rule and the rest are Poor, Powerless and Victims of Criminals and the Corrupt rich!

When business cannot be moved to cheap labor countries he just imports Slave labor for their use by ignoring our Constitution & Laws! Thousands of returning veterans will find they must compete for jobs with Slave labors from Latin American subsidized by taxpayers.

We are told by the Politicians our economy will collapse without the Illegal Aliens here, that is pure political spin & lies. Illegal Aliens make up less than 5 % of our work force. We also told the cost of goods and services will increase. It is estimated a head of lettuce with cost ten cents more without Illegal Alien Labor. Yes, some costs will increase but any cost will be far offset by increase in wages & a higher standard of living & Hugh decreases in taxes to pay welfare cost & large increase in tax receipts!

Some of the benefits we can expect (but not nearly all) when our borders are closed & Illegal Aliens return to their own countries:

1. Our budget deficit will decrease by Billions & our tax receipts will increase by billions

3. Our crime & cost, both in money and human suffering will take a Hugh drop down

4. Our schools will make a great improvement in the education of our children & cost decrease

5. Innovation will increase

6. Medical care will improve and cost go down

7. Insurance cost will decrease

8. The increase in wages & the 20 billion currently going out of country now will create a large increase in demand for goods and services & new businesses and expanding business & our economy will soar

9.Even business that think they must have Slave labor to survive will find they are more profitable & new revenues & sources for profits will increase. (As Henry Ford discovered if he wanted to sell cars he must pay a livable so people could afford his cars)

10. Our standard of living will go up

11. But maybe the most important benefit will be stopping the influx of Illegal Aliens with their loyally to another Nation & hate for all things American, that if left unchecked will tear our society apart!

What we are experiencing in this country is open political warfare! The lust for power by both parties makes the welfare of American Citizens & future of this Nation almost none existing in their priorities.

To our Politicians, Power, Money and getting Elected is more important than American Citizens and the future of this Country! There are apparently no limits or any restraints to Political Corruption & Stupidly by our Politicians!

A very partial list of traitors to this Country either thru. Stupidly or outright Treason!

Number one on the List President Bush then John McCain (R-AZ) Edward Kennedy (D-MA)… Arlen Specter (R-Penn, Richard Durbin (D-IL) Larry Craig (R-ID), Mel Martinez (R-FL), Ken Salazar (D-CO), Chuck Hagel (R-NE), Christpher Dodd (D-CT), John Kerry (D-MA), Evan Bayh (D-IN) Reid D-NV) Clinton (D-NY) Brownback(R-Kansas

.Governors : Bill Richardson (D-NM), Rod Blagojevich (R-IL), Bill Huckabee (R-AR), Janet Napolitano (D-AZ),Jim Huntsman (R-UT), John Baldacci (D-ME)

All American Citizens that love this Country and wants it to remain the Bright Beacon of hope for the world should take action now…

I recently heard of a hispanic, Peruvian by birth, who was ran down by a couple Utah citizens and told to move back to Mexico! Never mind the fact that he came here legally, became a resident legally, and is working on his US Citizenship. We seem to be breeding an environment of bigotry and disrespect, and I blame that, in part, on those of you adding your comments to these articles. I put more trust in our politicians than in your brilliant advise at solving US problems by shutting down the border. If you really want to make a change, your time would be better spent in volunteerism. I, for one, have no time to heed/breed bigotry.

CITIZENS OF UTAH..

Do you want to help put an end to the invasion?? Start by voting OUT Chris Cannon..He is a Bush supporter of amnesty and open borders...John Jacob has committed himself to stopping this invasion...

There is no single issue more important to the future of this country. Iraq isn't even close. Bush is trying to divert attention away from immigration and towards his so called victories in Iraq..he is trying to pull the wool over your eyes..

VOTE OUT CHRIS CANNON next Tuesday..

This is not a Republican/Democrat issue. This is an American issue.

Bill Lowe, I have read hundreds, if not thousands of blog posts and articles. Yours may be the best exampl of the true costs of this invasion. I urge you to send that to as many congressmen and senators as possible...

The headline writer got it right, but isn't referring to these criminals as "undocumented workers", as is done in the actual article, a bit much? Isn't it about time you dropped the euphemism and used the actual legal term for these people, "illegal aliens"?

And the posters above are correct; this isn't immigration. It is invasion on a grand scale, with U.S. casualties mounting by the day. The elitist plan to move people who are not and will never be Americans into this country, and who, if ever given citizenship, will be allowed to keep their original citizenship and ties to their home countries, is part of the plan to deconstruct our nation. We, citizens, will eventually be outnumbered, and national loyalty will be a thing of the past. Just look to the meltdown occurring in Europe for a glimpse of the future these "citizens of the world" have in mind for us.

You guys are ludacris if you illegals just live off social services

Latinos have the lowest unemploment rate compared to blacks or whites

Also immigration is badly needed by this country to keep the population from aging any faster

Look at census site on the web and would see how low the birthrate is for all races and latinas have the highest at 2.3 per woman

Also immigration in this country favors the upper class immigrant to come here and take high end jobs

Tell me which one would you rather do be a software engineer or work as a day laborer

And their proposal to take away birthright citizenship is highly unethical because why shouldn't a CHILD be american if this is the only country they know and are raised in just because of the actions their parents have taken

Xenophobia is becoming the new basis for eugenics as you can see

The founder fathers were the ones who helped staert this country

but they were of no moral character

they took the land from the native americans even though had treaties with them

they owned slaves and fathered children out of wedlock

I suppose they wouldn't have supported birthright citizenship also because the only people who could vote back then were white males with property

this terribly serious problem is being

ignored by politicians who do not have

As a woman who has always been concerned

with abuses of women and children, I am

appalled that we are welcoming into this

country hordes of people for whom abuse of women is culturally accepted, whether by fists or knives. We have

struggled so hard, women and men, in this precious America of ours, to bring

these numbers down; the influx, many of

whom now fill about twenty percent of our prison cells, will set womens and

childrens rights back fifty years.

These illegals often father children by

several woman; they distain birth control and in fact I suppose having

many children by many wives is politically wise as they will overtake

America that much faster.

The most interesting fact is that we

Americans are willingly destroying our

own country by our complacence; we are

holding the gun to our sovereign head,

and if we don't get wise we will soon

pull the trigger. We are standing on

the sidelines and watching the slow-
