WELCOME TO AMERICA?

“Comprehensive immigration reform”, an essentially nonsensical phrase and pretty much a meaningless one. It is a phrase that can have any number of different meanings depending on who it is that you’re talking to. Regular Americans see it as something that is used by all those who wish nothing more than to turn into a reality that which essentially amounts to amnesty for the 11-18 million immigrants who are now in this country illegally. Of course our dishonest and self-serving politicians, who reside in both parties, disagree with that assessment because they see these “illegal” individuals as being nothing more than as a huge pool of potential voters while seeming to be oblivious to the fact that they are breaking our laws. Therefore they go in search of any argument they feel sounds plausible. So they make the idiotic statement that by making these illegal immigrants legal, then we’ll be better able to cope because we’ll then know exactly where they are and how many there are because they’ll “come out of the shadows.” Well in the first place, they’re in the shadows because they “know” they’re here illegally! And then those in power follow up with their claim that it would simply not be cost effective to try to deport the number of individuals that we’re talking about. Well, it certainly isn’t cost effective to allow them to stay here either! The fact that these politicians can be so cavalier, and use such pathetically weak arguments against something so fundamentally important as the protecting of our way of life and our national sovereignty, lays bare their true motivation for pushing this legislation that is so detrimental to America and on so many levels. And recently, Barry “Almighty” seems to have raised the stakes a bit by his proclaiming that he has absolutely no intention of working toward the securing of our borders unless it is part of “comprehensive immigration reform.” In a stunning revelation at a recent Arizona town hall meeting, Republican Senator Jon Kyl told his constituents that Barry “Almighty” had privately insisted that he will not secure the border until “amnesty for illegal aliens” passes first. Isn’t there a name of that type of conduct? And isn’t it more than just a little unseemly to be seen coming from our president? Anyway, according to Kyl, Barry argued that Democrats would lose their bargaining chip for any type of amnesty if the government beefs up its presence on the chaotic border. “The problem is,” Barry allegedly told Kyl, “If we secure the border, then you all won’t have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform.” So for Barry “Almighty”, and so many politicians, the safety and security of the American people has now been reduced to nothing more than pure politics. That this type of behavior is seen coming from the President of the United States is reprehensible. Add to this statement, Barry’s recent threat of making this whole amnesty thing a reality through the simple use of his presidential pen and we have a situation here that very clearly borders on a blatant abuse of presidential power. And this amnesty sentiment is something that seems to be running rampant throughout the Barry administration. A case in point is Barry’s Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, who as such, is supposed to represent American workers. What you most likely are completely unaware of is that she is a longtime open-borders sympathizer who has always had a rather radical definition of it means to be "American." At a Latino voter registration project conference in Los Angeles some years ago, Ms. Solis asserted, and to thunderous applause I might add, that "We are all Americans, whether you are legalized or not." That's right. The woman in charge of enforcing our employment laws doesn't give a hoot about our immigration laws -- or about the fundamental distinction between those who followed the rules in pursuit of the American dream and those who didn't.
And where else but in America would it be tolerated for a leader of another country to be invited to speak before our governing body and to then be permitted to dictate to us how it is that we should go about the conducting of our internal affairs. And what does it say about the supposed leaders here in our country who when witness to such an event, fail to offer up any kind of a stern rebuke. Such was the case when Felipe Calderon, president of Mexico came to Washington not long ago. Not only did he receive a very warm welcome from our members of Congress and from our president, even though his government has repeatedly offered assistance to those coming here illegally, he also received a standing ovation from the Democrats in Congress regarding his comments as they related to Arizona’s recently passed immigration law. This useless piece of sh!t needs to be as energetic toward keeping illegals from coming to America in as he as on keeping them out of Mexico, it’s just what a good neighbor would do. And it might be better if he were to pay much more attention to goings on in his own country before he comes north of the border to offer a critique of ours. And those Democrats who so enthusiastically gave him that standing ovation made it very clear on that day that they no longer stand in favor of our nation of laws. And they no longer deserve the privilege of being allowed to serve the people. Because they have failed us through their rather politically skewed priorities.
Perhaps President Calderon would prefer that we implement the same immigration laws as those of Mexico:
1. If you migrate to this county, you must speak the native language

2. You have to be a professional or an investor. No unskilled workers allowed.

3. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools, no special ballots for elections, all government business will be conducted in our language.

4. Foreigners will NOT have the right to vote no matter how long they are here.

5 Foreigners will NEVER be able to hold political office.

6. Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food stamps, no health care, or other government assistance programs.

7. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.

8. If foreigners do come and want to buy land that will be okay, BUT options will be restricted. You are not allowed waterfront property. That is reserved for citizens naturally born into this country.

9. Foreigners may not protest; no demonstrations, no waving a foreign flag, no political organizing, no badmouthing our president or his policies, if you do you will be sent home.

10. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be hunted down and sent straight to jail.
And now our stellar President is suing to invalidate the Arizona law that addresses illegal immigration. How dare he, or anyone for that matter who is not being forced to experience the violence being forced on the people of Arizona, tell these people what they can do or cannot do to protect themselves. And why is he incurring the enmity of even his own Democratic Congressmen from the Phoenix and Tucson areas by trying to kill a law that two-thirds of Arizona and a similar proportion of America as a whole supports? And it’s a law that does nothing more than that same federal law does that Barry “refuses” to enforce. There is a very straight forward and easy answer: It is a desperate, last-ditch attempt to rebuild his sagging popularity with America's Hispanic voters. It’s these voters who are furious at Barry for failing to keep his election-year promise to promote “comprehensive immigration reform” when he had his super-majority in Congress standing at the ready and at his disposal to do his bidding. They now seem to be deserting the president and his party in droves. This is all further evidence of the low level of significance that Barry places on ensuring the safety and security of the American people. And since rising unemployment, a sagging economy and their sharp disagreement with Barry over social issues doesn’t help the president's cause any, he must find other ways of appeasing those who favor having those who are currently breaking our laws being provided with amnesty. So Barry has now seized upon the Arizona immigration law as a symbolic target, hoping to accomplish through a lawsuit the political task of rebuilding his base. Don’t forget that in 2008, Barry “Almighty” won precisely the same share of the white vote that Sen. John Kerry won in 2004. There was a shift among whites, as Barry won more young whites and lost more older ones, but the white vote ratios as a whole remained constant. His entire margin of victory was based on two factors: a) The African-American vote rose from 11 percent of the total in 2004 to 14% in 2008 and who, using race as their only qualifier, virtually all voted for their anointed one; and, b) Latinos, who had backed Kerry by only 10 points, supported Barry by 50 points. For Barry “Almighty” to have a shot at keeping Democrats in control of Congress, he must replicate the enthusiasm of 2008 among minorities. But his Hispanic flank is definitely weakened. Hence the political rationale which serves as the sole motivation for Barry’s bringing lawsuit, he hope to shore up that weakened support.
The solution to viable immigration reform is really a very simple one, ad you don’t to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. The difficulty arises in trying to get our politicians to create it and to then actually implement it. Priorities need to be realigned and politics needs to be removed from the process. Granted some reform is needed, but it must be stressed that we will welcome people here, but it by our standards, not theirs. “Realistic immigration reform” would consist of a policy that would adopt a three-part program designed to dry up the jobs that attract illegal migrants in the first place. When there are no jobs, they will not come and those who are here will go back home without deportations or roundups. They will essentially self-deport when there is no longer a reason to come here.
What we need to do is to:
-- Strengthen penalties and enforcement of laws barring people and companies from hiring illegal immigrants. Those who do so should face prison time.
-- We need a foolproof national biometric ID card so employers can tell who is legal and who is not.
-- We should implement a broad guest-worker program to bring upscale and manual workers into the U.S. to fill our labor-force needs. They must get at least the minimum wage and have health benefits. But, when the job is over, they must go home.
However, the Democrat Party won't wok to establish such a program because the unions won't let them and because they want illegals to stay here and become Democratic voters. Although you would think the unions would favor stricter immigration policies. Republican agri-businesses won't go for it because they want to exploit illegal workers with low pay and bad work conditions. But this is the solution and it will work. Trying to seal the border always makes for good rhetoric but is a hopeless task. Drying up the jobs that bring illegal immigrants here is something we can and must do. And if the current batch of those now serving in Washington refuse to do it, well then, they simply need to go. Democrat or Republican, it is now time to sending them packing and this November seems like the perfect time to me to send home as many as we can!
