Illegal immigration is still a hot topic. Blaming Mexicans and others "South of the Border" is also popular.
Mexicans and others like to say they are doing work no one else wants to do, this is, in large part, very true. BUT, they also they they are 'immigrants" like from other parts of the world and are not treated the same. This is only part true.
An immigrant is someone who is coming to a new country , leaving behind their old country. For good. Forever. You are coming to be part of the whole in the new country, removing yourself entirely from the old.
What a whole lot of Mexicans and others are doing is not immigration. They are being money gypsies. They want to come and live in the U.S., make money and send it back to family in Mexico and other places, and then come and go as they choose, without having left the old country behind at all or being an "American" 'all the way".
Unfortunately, the U.S. set the stage for this back in the 40's and 70's with the Bracero Program. This literally asked Mexicans to come to the U.S. and work jobs usually held by American citizens until their return from war. Mexicans ( and others) did their part, they came to help out and make money. What happened afterward is a shame to all intelligent people. The U.S. gov't shipped these good people out, more as prisoners and criminals rather than as people who came to their aid. Very harsh treatment which to this day has not been forgotten.
Now, modern day Mexicans want to maintain their own 'brasero' program. Coming into to the country and using services, making money (though accepting desperately low wages for it, showing just how bad the jobs are in Mexico) and taking it back to Mexico.
You can't call yourselves immigrants though. You have not 'bought into' becoming an American citizen and that is they key difference between you and the others. (Even some Mexicans who do want to completely leave Mexico behind to become American citizens)
The U.s. practice of allowing disproportionate numbers of VISAs to different countries is still something to shake you r head at. They insist on playing games with the world and who they want to let in. It's something they need to make immediate change over. The methods they take to 'curb' illegal entry could also be improved simply by how they position their 'incoming' offices. They could easily situate Immigration offices at points along border perimeters acting as entry points for people to come and apply for citizenship (this would prevent people from automatically becoming criminals by entering the country before filing) or for some kind of work program that is legally recognized. it would be an 'oasis' for those people walking god only knows how many miles to the Mexican/American border and are half starved and dehydrated. It could save lives.
But they don't. That would foil their game.
However badly the U.S. is handling these matters, that doesn't change the fact that many of the Mexicans in the U.S. are not immigrants nor do they intend to be immigrants. They are gypsies, plain and simple. I think they should quit pretending to be something they are not and quit acting so surprised when others call them out on it.

I think many Americans are naturally apprehensive of the sudden volume of activity, politicians supposedly enacting amendments to strengthen our immigration laws? But I suspect this is the lull before the storm, which they will throw into the bubbling cauldron of issues, like health care and cap and trade? Immigration reform is the toxic sediment rising to the surface of the pool. We cannot blame President Bush for the immigration debacle completely, nor Clinton as this complete and utter disregard for border enforcement, has been ignored long before any of these administrations. Illegal immigration really became finally a damaging problem to the United States after the CAFTA treaty. Small farmers in Mexico lost their livelihood, when the giant agricultural consortium's moved in. The (CFR) Council of foreign relations is a signature to an agenda, no borders between the US, Mexico and Canada.
ReplyDeletePromoted by the globalists in the (EU) European Union whose planned agenda was the open border movement? Europe has suddenly woken up to the mass immigration which has become a scourge, which is just now being recorded with an adverse impact. The indigenous people have found themselves prioritized into a second class citizenship. In America this is becoming de-javu, as an Americans are hounded by debt collectors and bankruptcy, while illegal immigrants pay nothing for health care services. But then illegal immigrant families cannot be truly blamed for low income services, as they have been drawn across the borders, from other lands by exploiting employers who pay nothing for there settlement here. That remains the burden of the gullible American taxpayer.
Washington has absolutely ignored the millions of foreign laborers and families, who have arrived, now they have no choice but to exact punishment on the US taxpayer by legalizing those who are here. If their immigration reform is just a small fine, learn English and submit to a FBI background check, this will truly unfair to those sincere immigrants who wait for working visas in their country of residence. This to me is AMNESTY--by any other name. This goes against the essence of the US Constitution and our Rule of Law. It seems like Sen. Schumer, Reid, Speaker Pelosi adhere to our laws, when it suits them? The Democratic leadership de-funded E-Verify a while back, but the angry ire of voters appalled by the weakening of immigration laws, fired back with countless phone calls. We can now do the same with AMNESTY. How many realize the damage to our economy, by giving citizenship to over 20 plus foreign nationals in retirement benefits. Those legalized can be to our nation all their family members, known as chain migration.
Outside of complimentary legalization for all those people--mostly poorly educated, unskilled will be competition with US workers of the same status. It makes no any sense to process these people who pay little or no taxes, when we are looking at 11 percent jobless Americans. We can start deporting all these illegal families, the criminals by implementing permanent E-Verify. Not just for Federal Contractors but everybody as a mandatory law. Discrepancies will be dealt with at the Social Security offices. NO MATCH LETTERS--is a supplementary workplace law that shouldn't be rescinded? Don't be misinformed by the pro-illegal immigrant organizations. Call and demand a permanent, mandated E-Verify and NO MORE AMNESTIES! The1986 IMMIGRATION REFORM BILL DIDN'T WORK--NOR WILL THIS? It will take time, but enforced E-Verify with all its updates will remove illegal workers from the office, factory floor. Call your Senator or Congressman 202-224-3121
ATTENTION! Because of the massive payments to illegal immigrant benefits in California, their is now a petition to halt this travesty. Google--TAXPAYER REVOLUTION. Very few newspapers will mention this activist petition. For all the facts about OVERPOPULATION: CAPSWEB, NUMBERSUSA, FAIR & AMERICAN PATROL
