What Would Happen?

Posted on 19/01/2025 by Grumpa Joe

Tina Griego is a Free-Lance reporter for the Denver Post. 

She writes some really good stuff, and she is a strong advocate for LEGAL Immigration. Not Democrat, not Republican, not Liberal, and not Conservative. Just the facts by a good reporter. 

“What if they left?” 

What if 20 million Illegal Aliens Vacated America? I, Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News have written a column titled, “Mexican Visitors’ Lament.” 

I interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week Hernandez said, “Illegal aliens pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes. What happens to your country’s economy if 20 million people go away?” 

Hmmm, I thought, what would happen? 

So, I did my due diligence, buried my nose as a reporter into the FACTS I found below It’s a good question…it deserves an honest answer. 

Over 80% of Americans demand secured borders. What would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? This may surprise you! 

In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominant language again. 

It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone. Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals. 

Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67% dropout/flunk rate because of thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. Denver’s 4% unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage. 

In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience. 

If 20 million illegal aliens returned ‘home,’ the U.S. economy would return to the Rule of Law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. 

Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn’t be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local, state and city coffers. 

No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. 

Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches. 

We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually and would vacate our country 

In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the ’18th StreetGang’ would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters! 

America’s economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get rich. Over $80 billion annually wouldn’t return to the aliens’ home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America’s economy which currently suffers a $30 trillion debt. 

More than $30 TRILLION !! 

At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupt out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act. 

Americans wouldn’t suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country – brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders. Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities’ greenhouse gasses. 

Over one million of Mexico’s poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas, to San Diego, California, in what the New York Times called, ‘colonias’ or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, roads, electricity, or any kind of sanitation. 

The New York Times reported them to be America’s new ‘ Third World ‘ inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonias. (I’ve seen them personally in Texas and Arizona; it’s sickening beyond anything you can imagine.) 

We already invite a million people into our country legally/annually, more than all other countries combined- with growing anarchy at our borders. 

It’s time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life. Interesting statistics below. 

Here are 12 reasons illegal aliens should vacate America, and I hope they are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them: 

1. $14 billion to $22 billion dollars are spent each year on welfare to illegal aliens (that’s Billion with a ‘B’) 

2. $7.5 billion dollars are spent each year on Medicaid for illegal aliens. 

3. $12 billion dollars are spent each year on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they still cannot speak a word of English. $27 billion dollars are spent each year for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies. 

4. $3 Million Dollars ‘PER DAY’ is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. That’s $1.2 Billion a year. 

5. 28% percent of all federal prison inmates are illegal aliens. 

6. $190 billion dollars are spent each year on illegal aliens for welfare & social services by the American taxpayers. 

7. $200 billion dollars per year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens. 

8. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that’s two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US 

9. During the year 2005, there were 8 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our southern border with as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from other terrorist countries. Over 10,000 of those were middle-eastern terrorists. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin, crack, guns, and marijuana crossed into the U.S. from the southern border. 

10. The National Policy Institute, estimates that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion, or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period. 

11. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $65 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin, to their families and friends. 

12. The dark side of illegal immigration: Nearly one million sex crimes are committed by illegal immigrants in the United States! 

Total cost – a whopping $538.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR !kri 

And we don’t need a wall?

Assimilation

Posted on 31/12/2024 by Grumpa Joe

Many of us speak of the assimilation of new immigrants into our society, but what is assimilation? It is simple. Assimilation is the absorption and integration of people, ideas, or culture into a wider society or culture. When thousands of people enter a country from a foreign land, it takes considerable time for them to understand our culture. We have gone through this process several times in the history of the USA. Each time, it was difficult for us, but more so for the newcomer. It is they who have to learn a new language and new customs. We on the other hand have to tolerate the migrants old ways as they slowly evolve into the American way. During my lifetime I have witnessed several waves of immigrants entering our society. First was the wave that bought my parents here in the nineteen twenties and long before I was born in the nineteen thirties. I grew up in a neighborhood populated by Americans, Hungarians, Italians, Ukranians, and Polish. I’m certain I left some of them out, but time has a way with dealing with memories.

My father’s assimilation began when at age seventeen he joined the Illinois Central Railroad as a laborer. His sponsor was his sister’s husband, who had arrived a few years earlier than he did. Uncle John Yusko most likely helped him learn the language on the job. Also, many of his supervisors were the sons of immigrants who knew the language and could communicate in Hungarian when English failed. Gradually, my Dad began speaking in English, but never at home. He and Mom spoke in the familiar language of their birthplace. As children, my older brother taught me and our younger sister to talk English while he learned from the Nuns at school. Many of the local businesses were run by immigrants and they too learned from and taught their customers. The best assessment I can make is that assimilation takes time and patience. My dad had a fairly good command of the language even into his nineties, but reverted to Hungarian when he didn’t have the English word. It was hilarious when Mom and Dad while speaking Hungarian slid an English word into the sentence. In my mother’s case she reverted more to Hungarian as she aged.

The second wave of immigrants I encountered was after the 1956 Hungarian Revolution against the Russians. My mother paired me with the nephew of our Pastor’s housekeeper. He was about the same age as me and a genuine Molotov cocktail-throwing rebel who fled for his life. We were inseparable; he challenged me to speak Hungarian, and I urged him to speak English. We were inseparable for about a year, and then I left town to go to college. The next time I saw him, he was on leave from the army. He had joined up to assimilate faster. He sure did. He returned on leave speaking excellent English with a hefty Alabama accent. He went to school on the GI Bill and became an engineer. He assimilated.

The next round of migrants I became aware of came from Viet Nam. My cousins in California helped them through their difficulties for at least ten years. The hardest part of assimilation is getting employment. These poor people struggle with life and do their best to make a living. After that, I lost track of any other migrant infusions, but I have witnessed an awful lot of Central Americans cutting lawns in the neighborhood. I even convinced myself to hire one to do my lawn chores. It is the best decision I ever made to assist with assimilation.

This morning, I researched how the Israelis infused so many people into their country. They devised a process called the Kibbutz. As new immigrants arrived, they were assigned to a Kibbutz, which is nothing more than a farm with a formal name. The newcomers worked the land to raise vegetables and livestock for their consumption and the markets. Any profit made was distributed equally between members of the Kibbutz. That sounds a bit Marxist to me. Many of these enterprises have evolved from agriculture to manufacturing, depending on the individuals’ capabilities. I think this concept appeals to me and is one that we could propose here. Why not divide these people into manageable groups, assign them to some land and basic tools, and let them have at it? The problem with my idea is the government. We have so many swamp creatures inventing regulations and work rules that a Kibbutz in the Israeli sense would be unlawful.

Back when my parents arrived, there were no unions, children were allowed to work, OSHA wasn’t yet an idea, and workers could take chances on the job. It was a working economy. However, employers tended to overdo things. Working conditions became difficult, and the people felt like slaves. When our most revered president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, became president and worked to ease people’s suffering by inventing new laws and regulations, he called it the New Deal, but inadvertently created the Swamp. The various Bureaus have been left unfettered to make rules that are as strong as laws, except they aren’t laws written by Congress and voted in. They are regulations that are imposed upon us whether we like them or not. Because these Bureaus are not controlled by ‘We the People’ they have gone on their merry way and have continued to dream up countless ways to make our lives better than we can. Since the nineteen forties they have grown and spent trillions of dollars on too many things that don’t really make our lives better, but they do make our lives more expensive.

The current government’s approach to assimilation involves two policies: The first is to fly or bus people by the hundreds to various parts of the country and let them loose. The second is to do nothing and allow the immigrant himself to find a way to live. The first is to spread the population without regard to the immigrants or the cities where they are dumped. Cities nationwide have seen this invasion and are remiss about handling housing, clothing, meals, and, more importantly, jobs. The result is that we see communities of tent cities popping up in urban areas all around the country.

When the country encouraged a large population of immigrants to come in the early twentieth century, it needed labor to do work. The current administration has no clue what these people will do when they arrive. Should I hire a gardener, a housemaid, and a cook and provide them a place to live while they work for me? I could be okay with hiring help, but I cannot afford that, a life with my family and Uncle Sam, too.

I’m afraid in the long run, I will end up paying these people to assimilate. Uncle Sam will finally wake up and realize he has created a human catastrophe. He will then begin implementing new social programs to assist immigrants. Two things will happen: 1. He will raise our taxes, and 2. He will print money to pay for the programs, thus increasing inflation and making life equally miserable for all of us. This flood of new immigrants smacks of the redistribution of wealth plan inaugurated by our Progressive, Liberal, Socialist, and Communist former President Obama. When does this guy go away?

Which Lady Would You Pick?

Posted on 22/12/2024 by Grumpa Joe

While scanning my old articles, I came across a photo of Sarah Palin, remember her? She ran as John McCain’s Vice Presidential candidate when McCain ran against the super fraud Barack Obama. At the time, Sarah was hated by the press and many political pundits. They did their best to vilify her from every aspect. I wish to compare Sarah to the current Vice President Kamala Harris.

Sarah PalinKamala Harris
Caucasian (white)Colored (black maybe, mixed with philipino)
Elected Mayor of Wasilla, AK, then Governor of AlaskaServed as Senator, Attorney General, and District Attorney from CA. Biden selected her as his VP
University of Idaho, CommunicationsHoward University, Law
She is an excellent speaker, who can easily answer tough questions on the flyDelivers a pre-written speech off a teleprompter. Answers all questions with predetermined talking points.
ConservativeProgressive (Communist, Liberal, Socialist,)
Mother of fiveStep Mother to her husband’s two adult kids
Opposed to Abortion in almost all casesSupports abortion
Opposed same sex unionsHas always endorsed same sex marriage

Maybe it is because I am a certified bigot, but I prefer a beautiful white woman over an attractive black woman every time, especially if the white woman is conservative, can speak eloquently under pressure and has a hearty but womanly laugh.

Spend, Spend, Spend

Posted on 20/12/2024 by Grumpa Joe

Stop the insanity! How does our Congress rationalize authorizing a bill to fund the government by putting a 1500-page bill in front of a greedy Congress? It is not enough that the money required to keep the government running is insanely exorbitant. They want to load it up before the regime changes. That is a guarantee for more inflation early in 2025. It is just what we want as citizens: higher prices for everything.

Follow the link I have added to learn just which people are affected. https://federalnewsnetwork.com/government-shutdown/2024/12/what-happens-to-federal-pay-and-benefits-during-a-government-shutdown/#:~:text=Excepted%20employees%20continue%20to%20work%20but%20are%20not,and%20get%20paid%20as%20usual%20during%20a%20shutdown.

Many people will not be paid during the shutdown but will get paid back. In other words, they don’t lose anything. Many will take vacations or will retire. Over the years, Congress has passed numerous loopholes to keep from not being paid. So, what is the big flap about closing down? Nothing. It is all a political battle between parties. But a shutdown is worth whatever small sacrifice some people will be forced to make to improve the lot for all of us in the long term. This whole thing is a bluff by Biden’s shadow government designed to put tremendous burden on the incoming president. Democrats are officially declaring open warfare against Trump right from day one. If I had my wish come true, all democrats would be jailed for voting for a 1500 page bill, anytime, much less three weeks before a change.

The newly elected government has just two years to make change happen. We elected them for change. The USA is technically bankrupt with our existing debt and are now taking all tax income to pay the interest. There is but one way to fix the problem. We must stop spending, pay our bills, and live frugally on what we have. You and I are not allowed to print money to pay off our debts; We are forced to use what we get from our employers to pay our bills. I live in a state that is also bankrupt. Illinois continues to borrow money to pay for spending that occurred a long time ago. Most of it is the result of unfunded pension funds. With all the retirees drawing pensions the state has no money to pay for roads and bridges. Fortunately, for us we can still borrow, but we too, are living on borrowed time. Our legislature does not have the balls to do the right thing which is to reduce the man power employed to do the work.

I voted for fiscal responsibility, not for pork barrel spending of money we don’t have. Shut her down!

American Uprising

Posted on 07/11/2024 by Grumpa Joe
American Uprising
Tue, 5 Nov 2024 11:40 PM PST by Daniel Greenfield

This wasn’t an election. It was a revolution.

It’s midnight in America. The day before million of Americans got up and stood in front of the great iron wheel that had been grinding them down. They stood there even though the media told them it was useless. They took their stand even while all the chattering classes laughed and taunted them.

They were fathers who couldn’t feed their families anymore. They were mothers who couldn’t afford health care. They were workers whose jobs had been sold off to foreign countries. They were sons who didn’t see a future for themselves. They were daughters afraid of being murdered by the “unaccompanied minors” flooding into their towns. They took a deep breath and they stood.

They held up their hands and the great iron wheel stopped.

The Great Blue Wall crumbled. The states fell one by one right down to Pennsylvania.  The working class that had been overlooked and trampled on for so long got to its feet. It rose up against its oppressors and the rest of the nation, from coast to coast, rose up with it.

They fought back against their jobs being shipped overseas while their towns filled with migrants that got everything while they got nothing. They fought back against being told that they had to watch what they say. They fought back against being held in contempt because they wanted to work for a living and take care of their families.

They fought and they won.

This wasn’t a vote. It was an uprising. Like the ordinary men chipping away at the Berlin Wall, they tore down an unnatural thing that had towered over them. And as they watched it fall, they marveled at how weak and fragile it had always been. And how much stronger they were than they had ever known.

Who were these people? They were leftovers and flyover country. They didn’t talk right or think right. They had the wrong ideas, the wrong clothes and the ridiculous idea that they still mattered.

They couldn’t change anything. A thousand politicians and pundits had talked of getting them to adapt to the inevitable future. Instead they got in their pickup trucks and drove out to vote.

And they changed everything.

Americans were told that walls couldn’t be built and factories couldn’t be opened. That treaties couldn’t be unsigned and wars couldn’t be won. It was impossible to ban Muslim terrorists from coming to America or to deport the illegal aliens turning towns and cities into gangland territories. It was all impossible. And they did the impossible. They turned the world upside down.

It’s midnight in America. CNN is weeping. MSNBC is wailing.  It wasn’t supposed to happen. The same machine that crushed the American people for two straight terms, the mass of government, corporations and non-profits that ran the country, was set to win.

Instead the people stood in front of the machine. They blocked it with their bodies. They went to vote even though the polls told them it was useless. They looked at the empty factories and barren farms. They drove through the early cold. They waited in line. They came home to their children to tell them that they had done their best for their future. They bet on America. And they won.

They won improbably. And they won amazingly.

They were tired of seeing their America disappear. And they stood up and fought back. This was their last hope. Their last chance to be heard.

The media had the election wrong all along. This wasn’t about personalities. It was about the impersonal. No one will ever interview all those men and women. We will never see all their faces. But they are us and we are them. They came to the aid of a nation in peril. They did what real Americans have always done. They did the impossible.

America is a nation of impossibilities. We exist because our forefathers did not take no for an answer. Not from kings or tyrants. Not from the elites who told them that it couldn’t be done.

The day when we stop being able to pull of the impossible is the day that America will cease to exist.

Today is not that day. Today fifty million Americans did the impossible.

Midnight has passed. A new day has come. And everything is about to change.
