09/26/2007: "Fewer immigrants means more benefits for citizens"

The first consequence of stepped-up enforcement is attrition of the illegal population. In Massachusetts, Brazilian immigrants are quietly packing up and leaving. When Hazleton officials created the nation.s first ordinance aimed at driving away undocumented residents, thousands of people apparently packed up and left.

When illegal aliens were removed from a Crider Poultry plant in Stillmore, Ga., the plant raised wages significantly, began offering free shuttles from nearby towns and provided free rooms in a company-owned dormitory.

In an upcoming study, my Center for Immigration Studies reports that using immigration law against gangs has helped bring about a 39% drop in gang activity in the Washington suburb of Fairfax County, and Dallas police report a 20% drop in the murder rate as a result of the same initiative.

As recent enforcement victories are sustained and expanded, we can begin to document the benefits in other areas: less stress on hospital emergency rooms, less-crowded classrooms, slower growth in government social spending. But the results we.ve seen so far are clear: We can get illegal aliens to return home, and doing so will improve conditions in American communities.

[ They're here because it's easy. Show them you don't want them, and they leave, because it's easier than a fight. Appeasement doesn't work, but legal action does. ]
