    How important to you is the issue of illegals crossing our borders and the deporting of those already here in this coming election and how should it be handled?

    From the L. A. Times
    1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal aliens working without a green card.

    2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

    3. 75% of people on the most-wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

    4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

    5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.

    6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

    7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.

    8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

    9. 21 radio stations in L. A. Are Spanish speaking.

    10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 4.9 million speak Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County .)

    (All 10 of the above statements are from the Los Angeles Times) Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.
    Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration.
    29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

    That's a lot of Baptists hiring illegal aliens to beat paying sales taxes etc.

    Why is it not much easier for Mexican nationals to come here who want to do field work? Farmers around here are hurting because white people don't want to to field work even with a $10/hour minimum wage. Maybe some of you "right to work" people should come to Washington State an thin apples in the spring.

    Hiring illegal aliens whose families are in the old counry is the most efficient form of foreign aid. You would do the same as the illegals if it was the best way to feed your family.

    We have a growing community of them 25 miles south of here that work the local farms. I do not know how many are legal or illegal. I do know there is a great ministry there to tell them the Gospel, and many churches in the area that make this a ministry. I have never lived where the problem of illegals is rampant, so it is hard to comment on the seriousness of the problem. We should have started controlling our borders years ago, and the problem has grown through both parties in power.
