 "These were the "people's ferries" that brought over the illegal immigrants, los indocumentados, right under the noses of the disinterested border police. The flood of illegal immigration was no secret here. A few miles up from the river sat a square cement building, wedged in between other, equally dilapidated one-story structures. There was no sign to indicate it was the Albergue, but it was obvious from the three amputees who leaned against the wall, their faces toward the sun."- Dean Cycon, Javatrekker: Dispatches From the World of Fair Trade Coffee (Get the book.) |
 "This shadow economy allows nonstate groups access to a global smuggling network that handles everything from arms to illegal immigrants to drugs to knockoff products to money laundering. They have quickly learned to use this network to sustain their war with the world. The ongoing attacks in Nigeria are financed through the bunkering and export of stolen oil, and the 2004 Madrid train bombings were financed through the sale of the drug ecstasy."- Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) |
 "The reaction so far has mostly come in the form of ballot measures to clarify and enforce entitlement distinctions between citizens and illegal immigrants. Californians have passed initiatives against the granting of driver's licenses and social services benefits to illegal immigrants and to terminate bilingual education. In 2004, voters in Arizona passed Proposition 200, requiring new voters to offer proof of citizenship and state and local governments to verify legal residency before extending "public benefits" to people who apply."- James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.) |
 "The internationalization of the economy, the movement of refugees and illegal immigrants across borders, both make it more difficult for the people of the industrial countries to be oblivious to hunger and disease in the poor countries of the world.
All of us have become hostages in the new conditions of doomsday technology, runaway economics, global poisoning, uncontainable war. The atomic weapons, the invisible radiations, the economic anarchy, do not distinguish prisoners from guards, and those in charge will not be scrupulous in making distinctions."- Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.) |
 "Many workers in meat and poultry processing plants are illegal immigrants with even less access than others to such benefits.16 These labor issues affect food safety because they lead to unsafe handling practices such as washing hands infrequently, staying on the job while sick, and failing to obtain treatment for intestinal infections. Education of employees would help, but education alone is not enough to ensure safe food."- Marion Nestle, Safe Food: Bacteria, Biotechnology, and Bioterrorism (Get the book.) |
 "This, especially the River Grande, is carefully guarded, largely against illegal immigrants ("wetbacks"). Meanwhile, by air and sea, millions of dollars' worth of hard drugs are carefully transported north in small, valuable, illegal packets, the whole trade probably worth more than any legal import from Central or Sourh America such as coffee or crude oil. This South-North drug trade now includes a sizeable quantity of heroin, derived from opium, grown, not in Asia or the Middle East, but in Latin America."- Henry Hobhouse, Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind (Get the book.) |

"A state of violent anarchy may grip America's southwestern states as militias array themselves against illegal immigrants. And at some point, the immigrants could certainly arm themselves in kind. There is no shortage of small arms in the world, even among the most impoverished societies, as recent experience has shown. At what point does this border conflict turn into a de facto border war? The reconquista or Aztlan movement among Mexican nationals living in the United States cannot be dismissed as racist political paranoia, either." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.) "Mexican immigrants in the United States out of a total of 8 million legal and illegal immigrants combined. Mexicans comprised almost a third of all 28 million Hispanic immigrants in the United States, and the proportion was increasing steadily. The Mexican immigrant population is highly concentrated, with 78 percent living in just four states, and nearly half living in California alone. The affluence created in the final decades of the cheap-oil blowout made the United States, and southern California in particular, an irresistible objective for Mexican immigration." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.) |
 "The bottom line is everyone knows hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants come into America every year. Everyone knows this could be easily stopped if politicians wanted it stopped. But because of payoffs by big corporations it is allowed to happen and the politicians constantly insult us by lying about it.
Politicians and government are responsible for the majority of wealth in this country because the majority of wealth has been generated through public corporations and government contracts."- Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.) |
