A new poll shows that 61% of Coloradans want a copy of Arizona’s 1070 law allowing law enforcement to investigate those they encounter who exhibit “reasonable suspicion” of being an illegal alien.
A recent study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform discovered that illegal aliens cost Colorado taxpayers more than $1.1 billion per year, or about $612 per household. Additionally, between $730 million and $1 billion per year of wages paid to illegal aliens is sent out of the country instead of being reinvested in local communities.
Since 2000, the population of illegal aliens in Colorado has nearly doubled, rising to over 270,000 illegal aliens. Including children born to illegal aliens, this number is even higher, and has accounted for 35% of the state’s population growth over this time period.
More than 10% of the students in Colorado public schools are the children of illegal aliens, costing the taxpayers $11,000 each per year, for an annual total of $925 million. Another $68 million per year is spent on programs for ‘limited English students’, who are mostly the children of illegal aliens. These costs do not include the costs to the federal government incurred by illegal aliens in the Colorado public education system.
Illegal aliens cost Colorado taxpayers $82 million per year. This does not include the health care costs which are charged to the federal government or the higher premiums paid by Coloradans to help cover costs incurred by illegal aliens in Colorado.
Colorado taxpayers pay $38 million per year to incarcerate illegal aliens in Colorado. This estimate only covers a small portion of the cost of criminal aliens to Colorado. Not included in the estimate are the costs to the federal government, law enforcement costs, costs to the judicial system, and the impact of the crimes themselves.
The minimum cost of $1.1 billion per year to the Colorado budget due to illegal aliens is double the current Colorado budget deficit of $560.7 million. If illegal aliens left the state of Colorado, this $560.7 budget deficit would turn into a surplus of about the same amount. One suspects that the percentage of Coloradans in favor of enacting an Arizona-style law would be even higher, if these figures were widely known.

President Obama---A DANGEROUS MOVE?
casca Wednesday, June 23rd at 5:28PM EST (link)RED FLAG WARNING TO ALL AMERICANS AND LEGAL RESIDENTS:
ON MONDAY, a number of Senators led by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) Sen. Hatch (R-Utah), Vitter (R-La.), Bunning (R-Ky.), Chambliss (R-Ga.), Isaakson (R-Ga.), Inhofe (R-Okla.), Cochran (R-Miss.) demanded answers of a possible plan by the White House to provide an Amnesty to the nation’s estimated 11-18 million illegal aliens through an executive order. The move would take immigration enforcement out of the hands of Congress and place it in the hands of the Executive Branch. Call, Fax, Email or see your Members of Congress at (202) 224-3121 to express your outrage at Pres. Obama’s plan to provide Amnesty through Executive Order. READ THE LETTER SENT TO PRESIDENT OBAMA BY THESE LAWMAKERS AT NumbersUSA. Already over 112.000 faxes have been sent by irate Citizens-legal residents to legislators throughout the country. IF SUCH A TRAVESTY HAPPENED, WITHOUT THE PEOPLES VOICE AND VOTE, THE CONGRESS IMPEACHMENT COULD BE IMPOSED ON ALL INVOLVED?
Every citizen-resident must realize this also influences–YOU–and your children’s future, wages, culture, language and the deterioration of our most sacred document–the US Constitution. by Leftist extremists. THROW OUT ALL PRO-ILLEGAL ALIEN POLITICIANS? Since when did–MEXICO–or any other foreign country have a right to interfere with the “Rule of Law” in the this United States? How can they even reason of an–AMNESTY, when 15 million Americans and permanent residents are jobless?
If you want to stop 20 to 30 illegal immigrant invasion, it’s overpopulation potential and reduce the amount of money stolen from your pay check to pay for their welfare, education, health treatment join the growing numbers of NUMBERSUSA. There are billions of dollars going overseas, across the border from those illegally working here–there feeding off us like parasites. Over a million people now realize we must unite to stop this epidemic–JOIN NUMBERSUSA–as a silent activist and remain anonymous, where radical open border zealots cannot torment you with racist slurs.
Many Americans and legal residents stay in the shadows because of the chance of being verbally or even physically attacked. Have a voice in this travesty of our immigration laws.Learn who your enemies are–the ACLU, US Chamber of Commerce, Council of Foreign Relations. THIS IS CORPORATE WELFARE–WHAT YOU THE TAXPAYER PAYS FOR? Learn the poor immigration grades of pro-amnesty politicians and eject them from office.Throw Harry Reid of Nevada and Madame Clinton, Morton, Holder, Pelosi. out on their backsides. They are anti-sovereignty as many Liberal Democrats, Republicans are? Numbersusa is building an army of anti-illegal immigration advocates and we need your vote, to stop this violations of our freedoms, our right. ONE FLAG, ONE LANGUAGE, AND THE US CONSTITUTION. California–A SANCTUARY STATE- Liberal-Democratic corrupt lawmakers have already sold their state to the illegal immigration occupation, that is why they are 20 billions of dollars in the red and fighting off insolvency?
Fight for the Arizona policing law and mandate similar for every state, city, town and community in our Union. Ask why only 1200 troops on our border to defend innocent Americans in fighting the drug cartels and other criminals, but will send 17000 national guard for oil cleanup? Ask why only a single border fence and uncompleted. Ask why not the two as planned, complete with razor wire. Fight back against the Instant Citizenship “Anchor Baby” law which has been misinterpreted, from the 19th Century slave emancipation post Civil War law. If they keep to the 14th Amendment as it is, then the child remains a citizen–but the Mother isn’t (nor the Father) One parent–MUST–be a citizen?. If not–They must be deported.
