To those on the fence about congress,
What does your next congressman say about illegal immagration? We can not fix our economy, healthcare, social security, gas prices or any other major issue unless we enoforce the law on citizenship in our country.
Why not amnesty for everybody?
For every crime ever committed anywhere in these United States. Open every prison, let all the child rapists, drug dealers and murders out. If we just give them a chance, right? The world looks down on us anyway, we have one if not the highest population rates of prisoners anywhere. Then all drug and alcohol rehab clinics, reinstate drivers licenses, forgive all debt and call for peace. They know what they did is wrong and won’t possibly make the same mistake twice if we just change, if we just give hope a chance.
Representatives to our legislature will they make the same mistakes? Will your US Senators, or member to the US House of Representatives continue to give you that blank stare when it comes to the 6-10%. The people who came to our country and are here illegally.
What do 25+ million illegal aliens do that exempts them from our legal system? How can amnesty fix the 10% that comprise 35% of our prison system? Will we discuss this again in another 20 years? This time will the estimate be 200 million illegal, 75% of our prison population?
A lower end income taxpayer has to perform a trade for less to compete with an illegal worker alien (IWA). That denies the poor and middle class worker the right to work in a free market economy. Do you think the illegal aliens or the those who hire them want that to stop? Those who say we need guest worker programs are addicted to slave labor? We have a simple problem in this country and that is a free market understanding. The same politicians who are pushing the free trade all over the world, are the same ones who want to restrict it right here in America. Huge manufacturing companies are in-sourcing IWA as a means of cost control. These short term cuts are a time-bomb that will end all US manufacturing done by US citizens.
The US House of Representatives is a seat we see every 2 years. The true power of the House resides in the tenure of that member. He/she must continue however to do that in a way that represents the views of the party and a majority of all the voting/non-voting constituents. The persuasion of fact versus popular opinion/deception is powerful especially on a complex issue such as citizenship. It takes courage to stand up to the mob rule that seeks to distort the illegal immigration debate. By sending people to the House who oppose allowing amnesty we have a say in the process. However there are many among us who would say there are just jobs Americans don’t want to do. That statement is a lie, Americans have done the jobs other nations can’t or won’t do. Americans won’t enter into a slave labor market which is what skilled and unskilled labor is fast becoming in this country. The farmer has to pay a picker $20/hr to get his crop out of the field if that is what a it takes to get good help. That farmer doesn’t have the right to enslave a Mexican citizen into poverty.
Every civil society has laws, how these laws are applied is just as important as the reason for having them in place. America’s population consists of people from every known race. Where else in the history of the world has one nation gone to war for the interests of another? To the sacrifice of a million or more of its own people, all those many more injured, and not to mention baring the expense. America then returns these lands to people who have long cried out to America for freedom. Our founders have passed these awesome responsibilities to us. A torch of freedom has been entrusted to us, their dream of a world of individual liberty and responsibility. Never should we seek approval of nations who treat their people like battered women. A true humanitarian is almost always an American. Being one who is true to that tradition I says, “let us free Mexico, not fall to their level.” The fact is America sets the standard in everything we do. Some nations see the prosperous effects of individuals having the power of freedom, they are our allies. Political powers in any nation of any stripe see this as a threat to the power they have over their citizens.
