June 15, 2010 Illegal Aliens are Often Career Criminals says Border Agent Jennifer Kendall tells Human Events readers about her interview with a Border Patrol agent who explained to her that many illegal aliens are career criminals. "When it comes to whom illegal immigrants are, the Border Patrol officer says 'There are a certain amount of people in the group that are just looking for a better life. They're hardworking people and they are coming here to do what people have done for many, many years, come here for opportunity. But there's also a certain amount of those people that are career criminals, you know... they're trying to manipulate the system. They just come here and break laws, not pay taxes, and benefit from all the public programs and that type of stuff.'"
Why Arizona's Immigration Law Will Work in Massachusetts "The economic cost of illegal immigration is taking its toll, especially in Arizona. According to a recent study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform, Arizonans paid $2.7 billion in 2009 to support illegal immigrants. This figure does not include costs associated with an increase in violent crime and a flood of drugs in the state," notes Michael Stoppa in a Boston Globe commentary.
Is Border Security an Inconvenient Truth? "The dispute over just how much border security is enough looms as the biggest impediment to any attempt by the Obama administration and Congress to overhaul the nation's immigration laws," says the LA Times. "Republicans say they can't support an immigration bill until the border is under control. The Obama administration points out that crime in U.S. border cities is down, as are illegal border crossings."
