Census 2000 results indicate that there between 8 and 11 million illegal aliens living in the United States in 2000. The Center for Immigration Studies has reported that Census Bureau stats show that 700,000 to 800,000 new illegal aliens were settling in the U.S. during the late 1990s and that around 1 million settled in the most recent year of record. Far more than that enter illegally each year, but there is a lot of back and forth. The 1 million represents illegals who truly settle in for at least a couple of years, and usually much, much longer.
Mass illegal immigration is NOT inevitable
Sign warns drivers to steer clear of illegal aliens who've crossed the U.S.-Mexico border.
No nation can ever totally stop illegal immigration.
But MASS illegal immigration is NOT inevitable -- certainly not at the level that produced the extraordinary population of illegal workers and their families over the last decade.
The United States has mass illegal immigration because successive Congresses and Presidents have decided they want it. In one action after another over the last decade, they have declined to approve measures known to be effective to slow the illegal flow, they have decided to end various kinds of enforcement that had been effective, and they have approved a series of rewards to those who violate immigration laws.
Well, as an ex illegal worker i can tell you that 95% of us, do not recover the taxes that the government take of our paychecks, if i remember i was paid 8.5 per hour, well i think that it was something like $2200 a year, there's a lot of reason why illegal workers do not even try to recover taxes, you can say ignorancy, fear, i dont even know if i was able to recover that money, but what i do know is that almost nobody recover that money, i might be kind of ignorant and please feel free to correct me, but if lets say that 5 million of workers do not recover taxes, its a lot of money that the government keeps.
