 Democrats DO NOT want to give Amnesty

  I do not know where Senators Kennedy, Lieberman, and Reid, and many others ever got the idea that their constituents, the Democratic Voters, ever wanted to grant amnesty and free citizenship to Illegal Immigrants. It just isn’t so, as the majority of the voting Democrats are in the whole scheme of things, are members of the middle and lower income workers in this country. And the people that are suffering most from the influx of Illegal Immigrants taking away many of their jobs, are those very people.

 

  As many of the jobs these Illegal Immigrants are taking are the very same jobs that many of these people were doing legally till the Federal, State, and Local Governments stopped enforcing the existing laws which prevented Companies and Contractors from hiring Illegal Workers without paying their employees legally authorized Benefit Programs, failing to collect and pay legitimate taxes for these illegal workers, and failing to carry the necessary Insurance that is required to hire legal workers.

 

  By the way since the many Fast Food businesses, Hotel/Motel Chains, Discount Department Stores Fruit and Vegetable producers are now hiring these lower paid Illegal Immigrants, you have not witnessed the prices of these products drop dramatically, have you? And I ask you, why not? Or is it that these companies and contractors are pocketing the extra money they are making. And since they are already breaking the law by hiring the Illegal Immigrants, it would not be too far fetched to believe they are cheating on their taxes as well? However you will hear these business owners complain how the prices will rise dramatically if their supply of cheap labor is shut off.

 

  It seems to me, that many of these Senators are looking at the possibility that they will get the votes of the Illegal Immigrants when they become citizens. However the way the situation is set up, these Illegal Immigrants will not gain their citizenship for at least eleven years, if in fact they are still eligible, and a good number of the politicians will probably not be in any elected position by that time and will not gain any benefit from their actions of today.

 

  I believe that the people who are hiring these illegals, the law officers who are not enforcing the laws designed to prevent it, and the politicians who want to pass further laws to allow this situation to continue, should all be held accountable for their actions. Fire them, jail them and throw them out of office, and shut down any company that will not obey the existing laws. There will be new companies that will take their place and new Law Officials and new Politicians that will step forward and show proper respect for following and enforcing the laws that have made The United States of America the great country it is, and keep it as great in the future.. A head of Lettuce and a Dozen Oranges may go up a few cents, but you will have your job back and will be able to afford the increase.

Stop Chumming Illegal Immigrants
Topic: Immigration

 

   It irritates me that our learned politicians cannot or will not come up with any reasonable solution to fix the Immigration Problem.

  Let us first analyze the cause of the problem.

  If the crew of a fishing vessel wants to catch lots of Tuna, or other specie of fish, they chum for them first. Chumming is the practice of throwing food the fishes like overboard to attract the fish to the area you are fishing. This makes it easier for you to catch your limit.

  If you are interested in bird watching, throwing breadcrumbs or seeds on your front lawn will attract many birds to watch.

  If you are interested in trapping other animals you must set a trap baited with some substance that that particular animal will be attracted to.

  But on the other hand if you stop chumming you will catch very few fish, and without bait your traps will not catch any animals, and with no breadcrumbs there won’t be many birds to watch.

  The answer to fix our problem in illegal migrant workers is simple, just stop chumming.

  The Illegal Immigrants are coming across the border to find jobs, so the job availability becomes the Chum or bait that attracts them here. The jobs are available to them because many contractors are breaking laws to get cheap workers by paying less than the legal minimum wage, failing to collect taxes, and failing to provide the benefits such as Unemployment Compensation and Workers Compensation that must be provided to legal American workers. Thus many Americans cannot find jobs and the contractors are making higher profits by cheating the illegals.

  If we were to start enforcing the existing laws or make the laws more stringent and start fining and jailing the contractors that are providing these jobs, the availability of jobs would dry up. And since the cost of living and the cost of food in the USA is much higher than in Mexico, the illegals would have to return to Mexico or starve, and the reason to cross the border into the USA would no longer exist.

  Then there would be very little reason to build expensive fences and walls to keep the Illegal Immigrants out. There would be little reason to hire more Border Patrol to chase Illegal Immigrant Workers, and the border Patrol could spend more of their time looking for and stopping Illegal Drug Peddlers, Terrorists, and child pornographers from crossing our borders.

 

  Another problem will be addressed at the same time is that if there are no jobs to come across the border to find, the number of people crossing our border will be deceased by a great percentage. And the people crossing will be limited to the people who are interested in peddling drugs and prostitutes and Terrorists. So the Border Patrol Agents will not have to try to distinguish between Migrant Fruit Pickers and serious criminals, as they must do now, probably letting as much 10% of the people crossing our borders unimpeded as being serious criminals.

 

  The whole concept shared by many politicians is that “We must secure our borders”, and their solution is to build a wall or a fence. Some say this fence must have 3 segments 50 feet apart with a layer of gravel between the fences to make it easier to hear people trying to cross between the fences, and have Guard Stations every few hundred feet. And this secure fence will only cost three million dollars per mile. (My second cousin Herkimer is willing to accept the No Bid Contract)

 

  The only problem is that the Illegal Immigrants would only have to find a better entry point, like a secluded beach in Texas, Louisiana, or Florida, or a hundred miles further north in California, or many other parts of thee country, where small boats can come ashore at any time without causing any concern.

 

  So no matter how secure the fence is, or even having a Border Patrol Agent stationed every eight feet, will not stop the Illegal Immigrants from entering the country as long as there are jobs waiting for them, no matter that the jobs are illegally offered and the workers must break many laws to accept them.

 

 

  There may be another reason the Mexicans are Migrant Fruit Pickers here in the US and do not grow their own crops in Mexico.  To grow their own crops they would have to work many months every year. They would have to own the farmland, plow the fields, buy and plant the seeds, buy fertilizer and apply it when needed, weed the fields so the crops could grow unimpeded by weeds, water the crops when the need arose, and pick and market the crops when they were ripe.

 

  Or they can do virtually nothing all year, and sneak across the border get a job by lying about their identity, and work 3 or 4 weeks for some hardworking American farmer who has worked tirelessly for the past 11 months to grow the crop of fruits and vegetables, for the migrant workers to pick and make more money than they could have made in Mexico working all year. But then why move back to Mexico where the standard of living is so poor when with their false identity they can scam the American Government to offer them free education for their children, free medical care for their whole family, and they can probably receive welfare from the government or help from some bleeding heart religious or charitably group who claim they are helping these needy people. Get a grip people, these are not needy people who need a helping hand to get back on their feet, these are conniving criminals who have found an ideal system to grab and steal everything they want without working to get it.

Ulterior Motive
Topic: Immigration
A couple of weeks ago (Apr 11 2006) I was watching a program on CNN where Lou Dobbs was interviewing a Professor Jorge Pinto, who was extolling the value of the Illegal Mexican Immigrants towards the US Economy, and we needed them or the US Economy would collapse without them. I became so irritated that I wrote and sent an e-mail to CNN.

Lou,
What troubles me is if this Prof. Jorge Pinto is so interested in the welfare (Possibly a misleading use of that word) of the Mexican people, why is he striving to get them to come to the United States? Why isn’t he striving to get the standard of living in his homeland of Mexico on a par with the US, and make conditions better for all Mexicans and not just the ones that cross the border?

Then I got thinking about the whole Open Borders situation, and it is not just Jorge Pinto but virtually every person that is in favor of giving these Illegal Immigrants legality in the United States. They have very little interest in the Mexican People, but have an ulterior motive to lower the standard of living of the United States to the same level as that of Mexico.
As a matter of fact why is it that all these Organizers that are purporting that they are trying to support the Mexicans, getting the illegal immigrants and other people that support them to demonstrate in San Diego, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and other cities throughout the United States? Are all these people really trying to help out the Mexicans, or are they actually the hypocrites that are just using that as a tactic to get American citizenship for as many Mexicans as possible. Or is it possible that these people that are organizing the demonstrations, actually employed and paid by the large corporations and Anti-Labor Groups to get the rate of pay accepted now as standard in the United States lowered to the same level as it is in Mexico, and are not really interested in the Mexicans at all?
The last suggestion carries more weight than any other, because if these organizers were actually doing this for the Mexican people in general, wouldn’t it make much more sense to hold the demonstrations in Mexico City, Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez, Monterrey, Guadalajara, and other locations in Mexico, to gain a better standard of living, better Education and working conditions for All the people that live in Mexico, instead of demonstrating in American Cities for just the wetbacks that have entered the United States illegally? Or perhaps the American Cities are just so much closer to the proverbial “Golden Goose”?
