Gang Violence In Brentwood Getting Out Of Hand

[Wilson Versa]

The gang violence in brentwood has to stop! There has Been 5 murders and 2 fatal shootings in Brentwood and Central Islip from January to March, finally the FBI gang task force is getting involved to help decrease the violence. My concern is suffolk county is only going to get worse with gangs and all the heroin out here isnt helping.

Don't complain about shootings and violence in your neighborhood. A large portion of it is caused by MS-13, which is mostly comprised of Hispanic illegal aliens. According to Appalled 1 (if you don't know who that is, you'll find out shortly) Ramos and Rev. Ramirez, (ditto) and the Liberals, that makes you a racist. Intrestingly enough, these knuckleheads wouldn't be caught dead actually living in our neighborhoods, but have a lot to say about who should be able to live in them, even if the criminal aliens don't legally have the right to. Let them come and live here and have a few bullets whiz past their heads and see if that doesn't change their mind. I really have to wonder how much the illegals are putting in the back pockets of these scumbags.

Finally the FBI gang task force is getting involved? LISTEN TO YOURSELF !!! If Levy hadnt decimated the SCPD, maybe this could have been handled WITHOUT federal help! Its shameful.

Its all because the deps have taken over the highways

It was certainly the start of it. It gave Levy the go ahead to start dismantling much of SCPD. So you think its funny that one union took anothers work, but it didnt end there. Since that happened Levy has dismantled many units in the police dept and watered down the rest. All you are starting to have in the police dept is patrol. Which is fine if thats what everybody really wants, but as anyone in law enforcement knows, patrol usually deals with crimes after the fact. Specialized units have the time and resources to prevent crime and investigate it. Patrols primary function is answering 911 calls.
So thank Levy and Sheriff Demarco for the direction this county is going in. Dont bother thanking Dormer, hes not in charge of SCPD, Levy is.

It is getting worse! Much worse, and it doesnt end there. Keep your kids off the computer because those cops who were trying to keep pedifiles off the internet are now pushing sector cars and being bounced back to precincts so Levy could claim he doesnt need to hire more cops. Levys tactics are huting public safety wheter you want to see it or not.

FYI, with retirements on SCPD you are paying for many cops that arent there any longer. Levy raised taxes last year for police classes that were not filled, and raised them again this year for 200 police spots that he already said he will not fill but will charge you for. He did say he will put 70 cops on the force, but watch him back out of that too.

When are you people going to wake up?

[UnregisteredSame Old]

Geez, did you see in Newsday those 2 knucleheads Montano & Ramos deflect RESPONSIBILITY away by playing the race-card on the School Board President?

The last bastion of a useless Brnntwoof-based scalleywag-not a word about solutions-just lame excuses that folks are racist!

Perhaps a memo to these 2 "leaders" about the Salvadorian based bloodthirsty MS-13 is in order. Oh that's right-useless Senator Gillibrand is writing a letter to the FBI on Ramos' behalf-more pap. What LI needs is more COPS policing the war zone that grows everyday-creeping into communities previously untouched by gang related activity. Today Brentwood, tomorrow Dix Hills-mark my words.

These 2 are the primary reason Brentwood is overun by Hispanic-based organized crime and when push comes to shove, the mooks sleep soundly knowing that Ramos & Montano are more intetrested in dividing the residents for their own re-election and public safety (and real community interests) be dammed!

Wake Up!!!!!!!

[briancmyers]

It is the Federal Government's job to keep illegal aliens out of America, not Steve Levys. To suggest that deputies patrolling the highways in some way contributed to the immigration problem is pretty laughable.

[Appalled 1]

But it is Steve Levy's responsibility to protect Hispanics even if he does not like them.
People are not dying in the streets of Smithtown, or Port Jefferson.
It is the minority communites that need Police too!

[Unregistered707]

the BOE president's comment had some credibility. MS-13, to be a part you have to go out and kill, maim or hurt someone. with the Mafia it's done within your own. meaning if you have taken the oath you are fair game. with MS-13 they hit anyone. so with that being said they have to adhere to the rules of hitting your own or face mass repercussions.

believe me I can hit a deer at 700 yards. so be careful.

There are no posts on this thread suggesting that. But Levy taking those duties from SCPD did lead to him taking more from them and having other units like the Gang unit and COPE only in existence on paper. When COPE is now filling sector cars and only consists of 2 guys in a squad it really doesnt exist anymore. When the gang unit is in Brentwood for a couple of weeks and then doesnt come back for a few months, then that really isnt there either.

The highways were just the start of it, and got the ball rolling, thats all.

[stopethnicracism]

With all the vicious name calling from the ethnic race baiters like Espada and Rev Ramirez, Newsday, News12, NY Times etc it's the Hispanic communities that will suffer. It's not fair what hispanic politicians are doing to their constituents all in the name of helping illegal aliens to remain in our country. The crime rate that we know of publicly is worse in the Hispanic areas and immigration and illegal aliens certainly have helped to cause this.

Police commissioner Dormer said it best when criticizing the Democrat town board of Huntington- he stated the town of Huntington has allowed building and health codes and laws to not be enforced thereby bringing in criminals and overall an unsafe quality of life. The slumlords and taxcheats have made out like the bandits they are.

What a joke. IF SCPD finally get out of there cars and walk around the block a few times and actually talk to some of the residents maybe they can actually make some arrests or at least locate the trouble makers. Its so easy to blame Levy or the Feds but its the beat cop that needs to step to the plate and take over their sector.

"If Levy hadnt decimated the SCPD," are you joking, man up and do your F*cking job

Your right!The best way to protect the honest, God fearing, tax paying Hispanics is to get rid of the illegal aliens and all their criminal enterprises. Steve Levy should get right on that and give those Hispanic communities some relief!

I go to work everyday and do my job. The trouble is that in addition to my job , Levy and Dormer have us doing someone elses job in ADITION to that because THERE ARE FEWER COPS THAN THERE USED TO BE AND HE WILL NOT HIRE.
The beat cop can spend little to no time doing any follow up because the dept as being run bare bones. That beat cop goes from 911 call to 911 call.
COPE used to be a team of 6 or so cops that worked at the same time and coudl address these problems without being tied to the 911 calls, but Levy spilt those teams up so that there are 1 or 2 COPE cops in each squad, and they are regular used to fill sector cars because...THERE ARE FEWER COPS THAN THERE USED TO BE.

HOw many times do we have to go over this?

[UnregisteredNotJust]

Wait a minute...isn't Foley, Ramos, Montano & Nolan just as, if not more, guilty of letting the situtation get this way. Some more than others based on how long they have been in office, so doing the math that would be Ramos & Montano.

They are too busty fighting their fellow Dems over race issues and thus throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Simply put they are too interested in race baiting to get re-elected than the safety and quality of life of the residents.

The gangs are like a cancer & thanks to Ramos & Montano-they are coming to your backyard soon!

[Unregistered12-27-2012]

There are many criminals who are supposed to be monitored by the probation department that are out in the street with no one watching them when they should. Most of the violence is caused by people that liberal judges don't wan't tpo put in jail. From what I hear some of these gang bangers are on probation and not being scene after 9-5 Monday to Friday or not at all. Aren't there enough officers to go around and see these people outside of banking hours?

No Mr. Levy has cut Probation also. Mr. Levy and his side kick the drunk angry Irishman will have you think that they "Beefed Up" Patrol in Brentwwod by transferring a few bodies from the academy to work the area. These officers have been in the academy training staff for some 10-15 years. The reason they were in the academy was, because they could not hack it on the street and went there to get away. Do you think these officers who have been in a "School Enviroment" for the past decade have the "Steet Smarts" to deal with the likes of the "Bloods" and "MS-13"? Absolutely not! These men won't make a difference at all. The only difference would be made by officers trained in this area, but unfortunately those units don't exist anymore and the officers that may still be around from those units are backfilling sector cars, so Stevie and Richie can say they have more Police on the road than before! It's a shell game and the mis-informed public has bought into it. Another problem is the Heroin in the Smithtown area. Well, this all manifest itself in one of Stevie and Richie's first knocks on the PD. Education. Levy when he first came into office elliminated the DARE program which PROVED that education at a young age stemmed the tide of Drug Use. No No. Steve and Rich know better. They eliminated a program that worked. Now those kids that WOULD have benifited from that progam have turned to Heroin. In other words "The Chickens have come home to Roost!" This was at the begining of Levy's term, so Please imagine what is going to happen throughout the County when all these cuts come back to ROOST! THe public better wake up and wake up soon. That was one program that these two geniuses deemed expendable and now young people are dying. It has a direct relationship with the cuts made by the Levy/Dormer administration. We have not seen the worst of it yet!

Produce one document that proves minority neighborhoods have had their patrols cut. You can't! Even Newsday hasn't found anything to support those claims. They would if they could as Steve Levy is no longer the Liberal shining star they once thought he was and Newsday fell off his bandwagan. It is Steve Levy's job to protect Hispanics. The best way for him to do that is to go into these communities to arrest and have deported all the illegals who are commiting most of the crimes. It won't solve the whole problem, but a good portion of it will be gone. However, according to all your previous posts you have NEVER supported this. So please don't shed crocodile tears for these communities you obviously really don't care anything about. You and your Liberal friends have done everything to tie Levy's hands in his attempts to clean up these areas. The fact is, had Levy been allowed to do what he wanted to do when he wanted to do it, a lot of Hispanics would still be alive. The reality is most of these murders are not committed by stupid white boys from Patchogue who hate Hispanics. The illegals prey mostly on their own kind in their own neighborhoods. Those facts are undeniable. This is about getting rid of Steve Levy because he DOES WANT do do the right thing by these communites and YOU SUPPORT THE CRIMINALS THAT ARE DESTROYING THEM.

A Direct Hit!!! You sunk his Battleship! People like "Appalled 1" lie and distort the truth to suit their own agenda. I'm tired of hearing that getting rid of illegals is a Federal job. Just because the Feds blew it doesn't mean we should have no recourse. Our local government has a responsibility to keep us safe as well. If "Appalled 1" was so concerned about our safety he wouldn't keep resisting the enforcement of the laws that are already on the books to protect us. Illegals are a large part of the problem and that moron can barely bring himself to say the word "illegal" let alone admit it is an issue. What a phony!

I think you are missing the point. First of all, not wanting illegals here by no way shape or form means we condone murdering them. Most people would love to get rid of the K.K.K. Unfortunately, they were born here and it is not an option. However, when you have large part of the community committing crimes and they happen to be illegal,why not deport them? I believe they knew that was a risk they were taking when they came here. No one promised them a free pass. The government has a responsibility to protect its citizens first and if getting rid of illegals relieves even a portion of that problem, I say so be it. As for Steve Levy, I am not a fan. His remarks over that incident were insensitve to say the least. But it was those remarks that made it more than a one day story, not the incident itself. I'm not saying that it's right, it's just the way it is. This has happened in Queens and in Nassau as well, and it was a one day story. The only difference was the public officials weren't as stupid as Levy when they opened their mouths.

I agree. We can't deport all criminals. I wish we could. Lets deport the ones we can though. If it even relieves a portion of the problem, it's worth it. Things have gotten way out of hand. Liberals have gone way to far when they claim just saying "illegal immigrant" means you are racist. They don't even try to make sense anymore.

If "OUR" Town and County Government would shut down all the "ILLEGAL" housing the majority of this crap will go away. Look at Brentwood, Central Islip, Bay Shore, Huntington Station, Farmingville, etc. etc...... It's our politicians that are screwing up our county. The rest of us pay our taxes and sit by and watch our communities being destroyed. 20 plus people in a single family house. What do you think will happen over time? Violance, Gangs, you name it, it's happening. But our politicians sit by and do JACK.

They have failed miserably and their gang/crime/death product after destroying Brentwood-Central islip is coming to your town sooner rather than later.

Thanks Paterson, Ramos, Foley, Levy, Montano and Nolan. Isn't it ironic that they all come from the same party and the very communites made into a war zone keeping voting for them and all their Democrat friends.

Our towns NEED to ENFORCE our local town codes. Illegal rentals is the main culprit in the decay of our towns. Look around and notice 6, 8, 10 vehicles parked on properties, streets and in front of your house. How many of those have kids that attend our schools. Property values going down. Kids can't play on playgrounds or in front of our own house or God forbid ride their bikes down the street. It has gotten CRAZY. We need politicians with BALLS to take on this issue. The federal government will not help us, we need to help ourselves and vote out these bums and get in people that will ENFORCE our laws and bring some sanity back to our communities.

I have to say that I don't blame Levy on this one. When Levy brought attention to the illegal situation here in Suffolk County he was branded a race baiter by Ramos, Montano and the Rev. Ramirez. Well? What are you gonna do Ramos? What about you Montano? You can't blame Levy for everything. What is you solution? More cops? Ahh lets call in the FBI or maybe we can enforce our laws and shut down the illegal housing and get rid of the illegal immigration problem that we have here in Suffolk County. Mainly in your district where our kids are being killed.

Brentwood is totally out of control. We as American Citizens have to put pressure on all of our Politicians, Law Enforcement, and the Federal Government to resolve this problem. This is going take tough action from everyone to protect our Citizens. If it means deportation than thats what it is. If it takes knocking down a house or an entire block than that's what has to be done. Enforce our town codes and enforce our immigrations laws. It's time to band together as AMERICANS and take back our country.

[progressives sux]

Huntington Station just recently had another shooting. Newsday ignored it though two people were wounded and local schools had to be locked down.

Democrat supervisor Frank Petrone's answer is to have more section 8 housing in the area along with a day labor site to attract a greater number of illegal aliens.

Does Donald Pius own any slum housing in Brentwood ? How about slumlord Harvey Vengrath? Slumlords have been rolling in huge $$$$ ever since Petrone became supervisor and illegal aliens flood the town.

Maybe they are in Brentwood too !

[Urgsee]

All of the posturing and rhetoric isn't solving the problem. Brentwood is under siege by gangs. Ramos and Montano exacerbate the problem by welcoming illegal immigration. Nolan and the town board add to it by refusing to enforce town housing codes. Foley cluelessly does as he is told. And Israel, Gillibrand and Schumer make it worse by knuckling under to Working Families Party, ACORN/Concerned Citizens of New York, LaRaza, Long Island Progressive Coalition and Jobs with Justice and their politically correctness in order to obtain political endorsements.

The El Salvadoran government has its consulate on Suffolk Avenue as a direct result of illegal immigration. Both Phil Ramos and, currently, Brian Foley have employed the Salvadoran consul's son as a staffer, so El Salvador's concerns are being well taken care of in the NYS Assembly and Senate. Phil Ramos even hosted an El Salvadoran housing forum at a hotel on Motor Parkway -- despite the astronomical number of foreclosures in Brentwood that need to be put back on the tax rolls, Assemblyman Ramos spent a day encouraging people to invest in Salvadoran real estate.

The refusal of parents to behave authoritatively with their children is at the root of Brentwood's problem. Parents don't teach and they don't discipline. They do, however, immediately criticize anyone who suggests that families have any responsibility to the community; look at the accusations made against the school board president when he said that families and communities need to stem the violence by policing their own.

Right now, opportunism abounds in Brentwood. Everyone with an angle to play is calling meetings, blaming someone else and starting groups. Montano is suddenly off his barstool and holding forums to which he doesn't invite the county exec or the school board president. Ramos tears himself away from his harem of girlfriends long enough to miraculously bring in a 2 million dollar grant for Suffolk Avenue when all other state funding is being slashed. Foley looks for someone to tell him what's going on and how to react to it. Nolan announces plans to stop the shootings with a waterpark while Schumer, Gillibrand and Israel send low-level staffers and the FBI to town. The NAACP president is jockeying to be quoted. Adelante and Pronto types make themselves available for photo ops. Everybody in the Rogers building rushes to get their two cents on Facebook. Even the affirmative-action Ivy Leaguer has jumps on the bandwagon by temporarily setting aside his swimsuit pageant in favor of neighborhood watches and a new political party that promises both FUN and zebra-striped diversity.

But as the politicos and pseudo-politicos posture, the Bloods, the Crips and the Latin Kings are ramping up in response to the ever-increasing presence of MS-13. Jobs remain scarce. There are new foreclosures every day. Kids bring weapons to school. Violence and bloodshed abound. Young people die in our streets.

Now is the time for action, not talk. We need real leadership from within Brentwood.
Parents -- lead your families. Teach your children right from wrong and enforce your family's rules.
Religious leaders -- lead your congregations. Practice forgiveness but refuse to tolerate criminals in your midst.
Civic leaders -- lead your community. Clean up the neighborhoods and demand code enforcement and law enforcement.

Both Phil Ramos and, currently, Brian Foley have employed the Salvadoran consul's son as a staffer, so El Salvador's concerns are being well taken care of in the NYS Assembly and Senate. Phil Ramos even hosted an El Salvadoran housing forum at a hotel on Motor Parkway -- despite the astronomical number of foreclosures in Brentwood that need to be put back on the tax rolls, Assemblyman Ramos spent a day encouraging people to invest in Salvadoran real estate.

The refusal of parents to behave authoritatively with their children is at the root of Brentwood's problem. Parents don't teach and they don't discipline. They do, however, immediately criticize anyone who suggests that families have any responsibility to the community; look at the accusations made against the school board president when he said that families and communities need to stem the violence by policing their own.

Right now, opportunism abounds in Brentwood. Everyone with an angle to play is calling meetings, blaming someone else and starting groups. Montano is suddenly off his barstool and holding forums to which he doesn't invite the county exec or the school board president. Ramos tears himself away from his harem of girlfriends long enough to miraculously bring in a 2 million dollar grant for Suffolk Avenue when all other state funding is being slashed. Foley looks for someone to tell him what's going on and how to react to it. Nolan announces plans to stop the shootings with a waterpark while Schumer, Gillibrand and Israel send low-level staffers and the FBI to town. The NAACP president is jockeying to be quoted. Adelante and Pronto types make themselves available for photo ops. Everybody in the Rogers building rushes to get their two cents on Facebook. Even the affirmative-action Ivy Leaguer has jumps on the bandwagon by temporarily setting aside his swimsuit pageant in favor of neighborhood watches and a new political party that promises both FUN and zebra-striped diversity.

But as the politicos and pseudo-politicos posture, the Bloods, the Crips and the Latin Kings are ramping up in response to the ever-increasing presence of MS-13. Jobs remain scarce. There are new foreclosures every day. Kids bring weapons to school. Violence and bloodshed abound. Young people die in our streets.

Now is the time for action, not talk. We need real leadership from within Brentwood.
Parents -- lead your families. Teach your children right from wrong and enforce your family's rules.
Religious leaders -- lead your congregations. Practice forgiveness but refuse to tolerate criminals in your midst.
Civic leaders -- lead your community. Clean up the neighborhoods and demand code enforcement and law enforcement.

You mentioned several radical and progressive groups set out to destroy our communities. They all are awashed in socialism and anti-westernism. Long Island Progressive Coalition, La Raza, ACORN, Jobs for Justice, Workers Family Party etc are all radical leftist organizations. Some were founded by actual communist sympathizers. Just google these groups and you will see they are funded not only with our tax dollars but from outside dubious sources. Many of these groups have a disdain for anything European or American.

No one said that it was. A good portion of it is though. It makes perfect sense to remove the criminals we can in order to protect our communities.

Our towns NEED to ENFORCE our local town codes. Illegal rentals is the main culprit in the decay of our towns. Look around and notice 6, 8, 10 vehicles parked on properties, streets and in front of your house. How many of those have kids that attend our schools. Property values going down. Kids can't play on playgrounds or in front of our own house or God forbid ride their bikes down the street. It has gotten CRAZY. We need politicians with BALLS to take on this issue. The federal government will not help us, we need to help ourselves and vote out these bums and get in people that will ENFORCE our laws and bring some sanity back to our communities.

illegal immigration isn't destroying our neighborhoods IT ALREADY HAS

could care less if you are hispanic black or white you sound like a @#$% communist Che Guvera follower maybe Hugo Chavez

The United States of America along with towns and villages on Long Island don't mean sh-t to you

if illegal immigration was so good for our economy then why are we in trillions of dollars in debt nationally and locally the state is 9 billion dollars in debt

we still educate the illegals

we still pay for hospital visits for illegals

we still provide shelter for illegals

we still pay for all the law enforcement and court and justice department costs for illegals

haven't seen any emaciated illegal aliens there usually pretty well fed wonder how many got food stamps and/or welfare and section 8 housing

No wonder we are having a tax revolt in this country

affirmative action ivy leaguer - how dare you even say that out loud <Urgsee>. At least he came to brentwood to support his community, youth intervention and violence prevention doesn't just start by engaging police, it starts by engaging students with opportunities that can open their eyes to different worlds.. a beauty pageant can lead to a scholarship for school... its a creative way of attracting students who wouldn't normally participate in a traditional youth development program. I challenge you to come up with something that can tap into that population in a creative way.

Gang violence has been a problem in Brentwood for over 30 years! This did not just become a problem because of illegal aliens, rather it has worsened because of the lack of jobs, and the overwhelming stress that families find themselves in. I agree that responsibility stems from the home, but if these kids can't even find jobs to take up their time, after school programs, youth development organizations providing them with opportunities to flourish, then what type of chance do we have? Rather than pointing fingers and using racist rhetoric to prove a point with no solutions <Urgsee> start creating constructive dialogue on how the whole community from all political standpoints can come together to solve the issue.

Your point is divisive and worsens our community.

95% of welfare recipients are low income white americans. Interesting how "Illegals" are to blame for the debt america has accumulate.. as I recall did our previous President create the debt by taking us to war that has yet to end and has yet yielded any positive results for the US? As for paying for ER visits from "illegals", guess who pays for that.. private donations to hospitals.

Now that is a lie. I worked for a hospital in Suffolk County and the patients who had medical coverage paid for the illegals. The cost of everything sky rocketed because of people WITHOUT health care coverage. The majority of ER patients was Hispanic, no health care insurance, no drivers license and unable to speak English. The type of care ranged from a head cold to giving birth. Hundreds of patients came into the ER for care and 80 percent did not have any way to pay for it. AND NONE of it was paid for through private donations. Brookhaven Hospital shut down their maternity ward because the cost was running the hospital into the ground. In the year prior to them closing the maternity ward 70 percent of the women who gave birth did not have medical insurance. So don't talk about something you know nothing about.

Our community is divisive because of illegal immigration, kids can't find jobs because there are so many illegal aliens willing to work so cheap. Get rid of foreigners here illegally and then we would have work for the young and unskilled and starter jobs.

And that crap about hospitals getting funding from donors to pay for illegal aliens is pure bullsh-t.
Hospitals try and recoup their losses by getting taxpayer money from the state and feds.

The last twenty years we have had unprecedented illegal immigration to this country along with high numbers of legal immigrants. And we have people in government and elsewhere now telling us our economy is about to collapse and the jobless rate is still around 10% with another 8% of unemployed adults no longer looking for work.

Our manufacturing jobs have mostly dried up by going overseas while the .5% of workers got filthy rich the middleclass has evaporated and the dirt poor are imported.

Brookhaven maternity ward :
"decreased demand for obstetric services is pushing Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center to shutter its maternity unit, pending approval from the New York State Department of Health.

The hospital said it has seen the number of annual births at its facility decrease from 1,770 in 1975 to 640 last year, and it expects an additional 2.4 percent decline in demand over the next four years."

http://www.allbusiness.com/health-care/health-care-facilities-hospitals-maternity/8957307-1.html
--- yes still blame the "illegals".. its all their fault.. of course you are right

as for charging other patients for losses incurred by the uninsured...I guess prices aren't necessarily increasing because of this..

"In the past, hospitals shifted uncompensated care costs to insured patients to make up the difference. However, cost shifting no longer is a viable option because managed care and other health plans have instituted strict price controls, leaving little margin to shift costs."

http://www3.acep.org/patients.aspx?id=25932
If someone wants to still make the case that the uninsured should be blamed for the skyrocketing price of healthcare and then argue to take away mandate on treating the uninsured...
then can someone tell me how they feel about having these people walking around with untreated diseases and the risks it poses to our larger population.

who else makes up the uninsured population in long island? The working poor who are not necessarily all made up of "illegals"

Anyhow, if someone here can provide information on how gang violence was reduced in a similar town I think this could provide constructive conversations on how to improve the conditions in brentwood.

Immigration Information
Dateline: December, 2004
In hosting America's largest population of illegal immigrants, California bears a huge cost to provide basic human services for this fast growing, low-income segment of its population. A new study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) examines the costs of education, health care and incarceration of illegal aliens, and concludes that the costs to Californians is $10.5 billion per year.

Among the key finding of the report are that the state's already struggling K-12 education system spends approximately $7.7 billion a year to school the children of illegal aliens who now constitute 15 percent of the student body. Another $1.4 billion of the taxpayers' money goes toward providing health care to illegal aliens and their families, the same amount that is spent incarcerating illegal aliens criminals.

"California's addiction to 'cheap' illegal alien labor is bankrupting the state and posing enormous burdens on the state's shrinking middle class tax base," stated Dan Stein, President of FAIR. "Most Californians, who have seen their taxes increase while public services deteriorate, already know the impact that mass illegal immigration is having on their communities, but even they may be shocked when they learn just how much of a drain illegal immigration has become."

The Costs of Illegal Immigration to Californians focuses on three specific program areas because those were the costs examined by researchers from the Urban Institute in 1994. Looking at the costs of education, health care and incarceration for illegal aliens in 1994, the Urban Institute estimated that California was subsidizing illegal immigrants to the tune of about $1.1 billion. The enormous rise in the costs of illegal immigrants over the intervening ten years is due to the rapid growth in illegal residents. It is reasonable to expect those costs to continue to soar if action is not taken to turn the tide.

"Nineteen ninety-four was the same year that California voters rebelled and overwhelmingly passed Proposition 187, which sought to limit liability for mass illegal immigration. Since then, state and local governments have blatantly ignored the wishes of the voters and continued to shell out publicly financed benefits on illegal aliens," said Stein. "Predictably, the costs of illegal immigration have grown geometrically, while the state has spiraled into a fiscal crisis that has brought it near bankruptcy.

"Nothing could more starkly illustrate the very high costs of ‘cheap labor' than California's current situation," continued Stein. "A small number of powerful interests in the state reap the benefits, while the average native-born family in California gets handed a nearly $1,200 a year bill."

The Federation for American Immigration Reform is a nonprofit, public-interest, membership organization advocating immigration policy reforms that would tighten border security and prevent illegal immigration, while reducing legal immigration levels from about 1.1 million persons per year to 300,000 per year.

*Six years later California is bankrupt.

Perhaps we should be concentrating a bit more on the 1% of our American citizens whose success (or inheritance) allows them to enjoy over 25% of this country's income. As jobs are outsourced or elliminated, corporate profits are rising. These corporate "patriots" use it to chase the greatest returns, and in many cases that takes the money overseas.

So while you're sitting here railing over illegal immigrants, their (adjusted) costs to society pale in comparison to good old American greed. But then, those in control of the economy control how you think as well.
