Illegal Immigration (LINK)
July 22nd 2008 00:33
So lets be real, we can’t really afford to ship every illegal immigrant back home. It sounds nice in theory, but it really is very unrealistic. Yes illegal immigration makes my skin crawl, and my anger burn. Mexican activists have taken up the, “it’s racist” argument, which for me as an African American is a little insulting, but that is another blog for another day. Did this country somehow miraculously develop some way to expand every year another 400,000 to 500,000 illegal immigrants enter this country. Some protest we shouldn’t build a fence so that illegal immigrants can’t enter this country, and how it isn’t right, but the real issue I find is how can we afford not to. Yes there are debates about whether illegal immigrants are depressing the American economy, some studies show that they are, and some studies show that they actually don’t. But when did it become okay to express encouragement to break the law? We live in a nation that gives you the right to express yourself, but why should we give you the right to encourage others to disregard the rules, and laws of the very country you so desperately are trying to come to. The problems of illegal immigration go beyond economic, they are societal we have a group of people who come to this country enjoy the basics of being American without assimilating. That is the equivalent of throwing a bar-b-q everyone coming, eating up all your food, drinking your wine and liquor, stopping up your toilet, and never even bothering to acknowledge or speak to the host. This is the most giving country in the world, and no I’m not talking about our government that also is another blog, but as individuals we tend to give more in the time of need than other citizens in other countries. How dare we be accused of anything other than wanting this country to prosper. Illegal immigration tends to bring people who are less educated, will make less money, and become a contributor to the impoverished class in this country, which if I may say so myself is large enough without any help from Mexico. And I say Mexico because for some reason Hispanic activists have taken up this issue staunchly, why maybe because they make up more than half of illegal immigration. The real issue is that Mexico is another commonwealth without actually being a legitimate commonwealth. Mexico encourages illegal immigration, and keeps its economy afloat by having our illegal immigrants send money back to their country. There is something very wrong with that scenario. Now I favor a path to citizenship, not amnesty, a path, and reparation for the use of someone else’s social security number, non payment of taxes and use of services while they were working here illegally. No one else gets to commit crime in this country and get off Scot-free. Why should they? And if you are a criminal that’s simple ship them back where they came from, don’t bother prosecuting them just send them home, why should we waste tax-payer dollars keeping these illegal immigrants warm, fed, and housed. No one says just let the mouse live when they find one at home. Illegal immigrants, and visa overstayers need to be held accountable. Businesses need to be held accountable and fined heavily. Not only that, this idea that families can sponsor their loved ones is ludicrous, if businesses benefit so much from illegal immigrants work ethic let them sponsor the workers that they so feverishly hire instead of Americans. Illegal immigrants should pay a fine, and learn English in a certain length of time, and then be allowed a path to citizenship. No more sending for your mama, papa, brother, sister, nephew, niece etc. Let them file to get into this country like everyone else. I hear a lot of Mexicans say that Arizona, and California were theirs why should they file like other immigrants to get into a country that once belonged to their ancestors. Simple answer for you guys your ancestors don’t own it anymore, sorry to tell ya. Listen this is what countries do, they go in and conquer whole nations, ask Britain. No one knows this better than the UK, “ the sun never sets on the British empire “, was what they used to say. Yes it sucks, but so did slavery we’ve had to get over it, so now so do you. This is a country overrun with many social problems we don’t need to add anymore. We have a social system that is falling apart, a government that doesn’t work for the people, but implements the rights of the rich. The last thing we need to be doing is splitting hairs. Lets get to the real work of building America.
