	Illegal immigration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Illegal immigration is the act of moving to or settling in another country or region, temporarily or permanently, in violation of the law or without documents permitting an immigrant to settle in that country.
		Roughly 60% of the illegal alien population are undocumented aliens and 40 percent are nonimmigrant overstayers.
		Since immigrants without proper legal status have limited use of their identity cards or other official identification documents, they may have reduced or even no access to public health systems, proper housing, education and banks, which may result in the creation or expansion of an illegal underground economy to provide these services.

	Illegal Immigrants' Cost to Government Studied (washingtonpost.com)
		A report that found that illegal immigrants in the United States cost the federal government more than $10 billion a year -- a sum it estimated would almost triple if they were given amnesty -- has drawn criticism from immigration advocacy groups.
		The report estimates that granting legal status to illegal immigrants would dramatically increase their cost, causing the net fiscal deficit to rise to nearly $29 billion because, the author argues, unskilled immigrants would have access to more government services while continuing to make modest tax payments.
		"The costs of the children of immigrants are accounted for [in the report], but not their contributions to the economy as workers and taxpayers," he said in a written statement, adding that the report's conclusions were not helpful to the debate on immigration reform.

	Reconsidering Immigrant Entrepreneurship -- Illegal Immigrants
		While it is not possible to definitively distinguish legal immigrants from illegal aliens in the CPS, it is possible to look at immigrants who, because of their demographic characteristics, are unlikely to be in the country illegally.
		For example, 1970s immigrants between the ages of 45 and 54 have a self-employment rate of 13.1, almost exactly the same as the 13.3 percent for natives of the same age found in Table 3.
		Thus, it is probably more accurate to view illegal immigration as a direct consequence of large-scale legal immigration and not as a separate phenomenon that should be dealt with independently.

	Why Separate Legal, Illegal Immigrants? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Like the proposal to ban illegal immigrant children from attending public schools, originally a provision of Proposition 187 and now included in immigration legislation pending in Congress, the CLEAR initiative assumes a sharp distinction between illegal and legal immigrants that simply does not exist.
		For, at this point, we would collide with the false assumption that illegals are a distinct and separate population existing apart from legal immigrants and from the rest of American society.
		More than two decades of research has revealed that illegal immigrants come to America for the same reasons and by means of the same network of friends and families as legal immigrants.

		The immigrants, mostly from Mexico, hoped that Gloria de la Torre, the 36-year-old manager -- herself an illegal immigrant until three years ago, she says -- will favor them with one of the jobs that go out by the thousands each day from 100 agencies like Ron's in Hispanic neighborhoods.

	Winston-Salem Journal \| Illegal immigrants surge to U.S. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The nation's population of illegal immigrants surged to 10.3 million last year, driven largely since 2000 by the arrivals of unauthorized Mexicans in the United States, a report released yesterday says.
		The estimate was derived by subtracting the number of illegal immigrants who leave the United States, die or acquire legal status from the number of new illegal immigrants that arrive each year.
		Assuming that the flow of illegal immigrants into the country hasn't abated since March 2004, the population of "undocumented" immigrants is probably near 11 million now.

	Immigration (Chap 12, Issues)
		The United States began as a nation of immigrants, and from the early seventeenth through the mid-nineteenth centuries a steady stream of new citizens came to these shores from countries around the world.
		But illegal immigration has further extended the delay, as the steady stream of invading peoples makes a mockery of American law and immigration policies and places law-abiding citizens and thousands of legal aliens at a disadvantage.
		Illegal immigration must be halted at all costs: any nation that cannot define and defend its borders is hardly a nation at all.

	Dutch illegal immigrants have poor health care -- Sheldon 322 (7281): 258 -- BMJ
		The health of illegal immigrants in the Netherlands is endangered by their dependence on access to a relatively small network of doctors who do not object to their illegal status but are often overworked, according to a survey by Nivel (the Netherlands Institute of Health Services Research).
		Nivel was commissioned by the health ministry to investigate access to care after a 1998 law excluded illegal immigrants from national health insurance cover.
		Illegal immigrants’ care was also complicated by language problems and sometimes by complex medical conditions such as infectious tropical diseases.

	IllegalAliens.US-Home (Undocumented immigrants is politically correct nonsense!)
		Thus, the term illegal alien, being broader in scope, is the accurate term to use.
		Immigrants, by definition, are legal and illegal aliens, by definition, are illegal.
		Actually the description should be "subsidized illegal aliens" because it is the American taxpayer who has to pay for their education, health care, and infrastructure while the illegal employer unfairly has lower costs than his law-abiding competitors.

	Illegal Immigrants
		Immigrants come to America because they know they will be fed, they will have shelter, and they will be able to support their children.
		A schoolteacher's college education and professional career cannot even support a family and at the same time illegal aliens are living in luxury because all they have to do is walk to a mailbox every week to pick up a welfare check (which could very well be more than a teacher's salary).
		These immigrants are coming to exploit America's freedoms and it's happening because the United States cares more about protecting the constitutional rights of a few illegal aliens rather than cracking down on Border Patrol and INS policies.
