Problems with the current immigration proposal

June 3, 2007 |

Our potted plants in Washington continue to ignore us, the legal American voters, and push forward the current immigration reform. There are some serious problems with this legislation that cannot be ignored if you care about your rights as a legal citizen. The most glaring problem is the fact that the legislation, regardless of how it is couched, rewards people who break our laws with an easy path to citizenship. Never in our history have we ever come this close to passing legislation that would reward 12-20 million criminals!! This would be a huge mistake and end up encouraging more illegal immigration rather than slowing it as lawmakers are fond of saying.
Another problem is that many lawmakers defend this legislation by saying that many parts of the bill cannot be enacted until the borders are declared “secure.” There is no way for us, the legal American citizens, to determine when our borders are actually secure. The government has shown its propensity for stupid, reckless decision-making and would probably declare the borders secure without investing one penny to actually boost security.

The legislation does not stop anchor babies and distributing visas within family ranks, thus continuing the drain on public resources. This is the most expensive and direct impact amnesty will have on all legal Americans. The democratic system we have paid into our entire lives will collapse under the pressure of serving a much larger group of people than is actually contributing to the pool of money collected to run these services. It is already happening in local healthcare systems in California and other border states. Passing citizenship through children is an outdated policy and is no longer necessary to keep on the books.

The biggest obstacle the American people face is convincing big business that this current legislation is bad for business. The attraction of cheap labor mainly stems from their illegal status. The majority of illegals from south of our border are undereducated, illiterate people who often bring third world diseases like tuberculosis because of the inability to pay for healthcare. They are not the English-speaking, educated people the media and politicians say are here or will come. These people do NOT want our minimum wage jobs and are educated enough to find work in their own countries. What big business will get is 12-20 million legal citizens who are uneducated, cannot speak english, and are now demanding more than the minimum wage. Many will join unions and will eventually cost big business far more than hiring legal American citizens and supporting the removal of criminal trespassers from our country.

Stay tuned, more to come….
