Immigration's Human Cost

Sometimes covered on the topic of illegal-immigration are the environmental consequences, the terrorist threat, wage destruction, the threat of extreme and undesired cultural change taking place in the wrong direction, and illegal-immigration taking away from resources intended to help law-abiding, legal immigrants.

On a lesser scale does one seem to hear of the individual victims of criminals allowed into the US via unregulated immigration, and the resulting death toll. A consequence which the seemingly above-the-law deal going on between wealthy employers and illegal immigrants has produced, yet the government seems to be too petrified to question.

Www.immigrationshumancost.org is a website dedicated to telling the stories of those victims and bringing attention to a problem which transcends the usual squabbles over the economic downfalls of our open-borders political path. Safety and human life can not be ignored on the basis of an employer's desire to lower employee's wages. A list of victims (by no means exhaustive).
