4/30/2009: Feinstein’s Subcommitte To Hold Immigration Hearing
Posted by: | CommentsThe U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees, and Border Security will hold hearings today in D.C. On the agenda: “Comprehensive Immigration Reform in 2009, Can we do it and how”? This is the first step in mounting support for Amnesty for illegal aliens.
A key member of this subcommittee is California Senator Dianne Feinstein.
In a February Reuters report, it is estimated that in 2008, California is home to 3,200,000 illegal aliens. That breaks down to about 1 in 8 people in California are here illegally. The unemployment rate in California is 11.2%. According to the L.A. Times, in California, the cost to incarcerate illegal aliens convicted of crimes is nearly $1 Billion dollars annually. Of that cost, the federal government picks up about 12 cents on the dollar of that tab. The estimated total cost to California due to illegal immigration is roughly $13.1 billion dollars annually. These are your tax dollars!
Wouldn’t it be nice if the Subcommittee on Immigration could come up with a way to enforce our laws, which would strengthen our economy and our national security, instead of trying to figure out how and if they can reform immigration?
Let Senator Feinstein know how you feel about illegal immigration and amnesty. Email or call her now.
