Immigrant costs

0 Comments | Oakland Tribune, Aug 7, 2008 | by Letter to the Editor

We have 12 to 20 million illegals in the U.S. Think what this does to our natural resources in order to feed and house these illegals? How many acres of forests and agricultural lands have to be used to house and feed these illegals when this land should be used to feed and house our legal population. Why not just open our borders to anyone wanting to reside in the U.S. and then we will become another Mexico.

I say close the border to all illegals and if caught sent back to their own country. Don't send them to our jails at a cost of $50,000 a year.

In France an illegal woman having a baby in France does not make that baby a French citizen. We should have that law in the U.S. then we wouldn't have the problem of what to do with U.S. born child and the babies of illegal parents.
