Are Illegal Immigrants really looking for work

  Are Illegal Immigrants really looking for Work, Or just Easy Money?

 

  The Pilgrims from Great Britain and people of other nationalities from Europe and other parts of the world came to the area on the North American Continent, now known as the United States of America and Canada 400 years ago, and settled into a wilderness. They came here because were dissatisfied with the tyrannical government and forced religion in the places the left, and came to strive for the ability to be free and live their lives as they chose, and worship as they chose. They then cleared the forests and plowed the fields and planted crops to feed themselves and their families. They planted orchards and vineries to grow fruits and grapes for food and drink. They started raising herds of animals as beasts of burden and meat, and flocks of turkeys, chickens, and geese.

 

  They built Mills and Factories to process their food and make the tools and equipment they needed. They sought out the natural resources that were here and dug mines to get all the things this country had to offer. They built ships for fishing, commerce, and defense.

 

  When the jobs were more than one man and his family could handle, neighbor helped neighbor to clear the trees and use the lumber to build homes, barns, churches, schools, stores, and other buildings that were necessary for their town. And during that time both the USA and Canada have become prosperous Agricultural and Industrial countries. In some parts of the country people like the Amish in Pennsylvania still exist living that same way, neighbor helping neighbor for the betterment of all.

 

  At about the same time, some 400 years ago, the Spanish Conquistadors invaded the areas now known as Cuba, Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean Islands; they were primarily looking for Gold and other treasures to bring back to Spain. I do not think their primary goal was to colonize these places, but just collect all the riches they could carry back to Spain by looting and plundering the people and cultures that inhabited those locations.

 

  I believe that same train of thought of “Do as little work as possible, but grab all the treasure” has endured and been carried down through their descendants. To clarify my position on that subject, let us look at the territories in question. The areas of the US and Canada are two of the greatest growers and producers of food products on the planet, but Mexico and Central America have a much longer growing season than we do, and do not have the 4 to 6 months when the ground is frozen and covered with snow. So why aren’t Mexico, Cuba, Honduras, Guatemala the rich agricultural powers they could and should be, selling food to their northern neighbors? Primarily there is no food product in those countries to harvest because no one took the time and effort to plant it.

 

  I have a serious doubt that the people who have deserted their native lands and homes in Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, and so on to cross the border illegally and enter the United States as Illegal Immigrants really did it out of their desire to make a better life for themselves and their families. If that were their main goal they would have used the longer growing season and abundant natural resources their countries are blessed with to build a better life and help their native country to grow and prosper, rather than abandon their natural riches to lead a life of crime

 

  In my opinion they have decided to become criminals and they crossed the border into this country, and break laws to obtain illegal jobs because it is easier than clearing the land they live on and plant and harvest their own crops for their own needs, and be able to sell the surplus to others.  So rather than work the whole year as the land owner must, plowing the fields, planting the seeds, fertilizing, watering, and weeding the fields to allow the crops to grow a great harvest, the Illegals just have to show up at harvest time and work a few weeks and make as much money as possible working only as little as possible.

 

  My final question is that if these Illegal Immigrants are in fact the hard working, diligent, dedicated, industrious people that their supporters claim them to be, why is it that the countries they deserted to come here are so much lower in the standard of living, level of education, and wealth than the United States, only a few hundred miles away?

Lets have a Quiz

Lets have a Quiz!

  How will letting Latinos from Mexico, Central America and the
Caribbean Area affect the standard of living in the USA?
  
  Go through the list of countries named below and ask the following
questions about each, then decide if letting more Latinos into the
United States is really a good idea? Use the status of the general 
population of the country and not the vacationers. Keeping in mind 
that people from various parts of Europe settled in all these 
countries during the same time frame in the late 1500s and 1600s, 
so they all have had the same opportunities.

Country       Rich or Poor?    Standard of Living?   Primary Language?

USA
Canada 
Mexico 
Belize 
Guatemala 
Honduras 
San Salvador 
Costa Rica 
Nicaragua 
Panama 
Cuba 
Bermuda
Puerto Rico
Dominican Republic 
Haiti 
Jamaica 
Equator 
Chili 
Colombia
Guiana

  Questions anyone, did you notice any differences or similarities
about the primary inhabitants of each country and their  Standard of
 Living?

  So instead of raising the level of the Standard of Living for 
the Illegal Immigrants, it will lower the levelfor the USA. As 
they have proven from their activities,(Or lack of activities) 
in their own countries,that they are satisfied with their poverty, 
because they have done virtually nothing to change their situation 
in the last 400 years

I rest my case

No Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants
Topic: Immigrants

  There was a question posed by Lou Dobbs on his program on CNN TV the other night asking whether the people thought that as Gov. Bill Richardson purported that having a Guest Worker program would help solve the Illegal Immigration program? The results were that 92 % of the over 10,000 people who responded said NO! In other words the general public disagree with George W. Bush and Senators Kennedy, Lieberman, Reid, and many others that are in favor of such a program. The majority of American Citizens do not want to offer any kind of favors to the people who have broken every law they can think of to enter this country illegally, gain employment by lying and cheating, live in substandard and unsafe conditions and demand that we must offer them many rights and privileges that are denied to even many legitimate citizens. We already have about 535 people who get and hold onto their jobs by lying and cheating, so we certainly do not need any more.

Proof of Residency
Topic: Immigrants
Documented Proof of Residency

We have a great many US Senators that are working on a bill to grant amnesty to illegal aliens and they are using a very clear-cut formula. This formula is that they intend to group all Illegal Immigrants into three groups: Illegal Immigrants that have resided in the United States for less than two years, from between two to five years, and over five years. And each of these groups will have to follow the standards set up by the US Senate whether they qualify for Citizenship or not.

This may sound good if you do not listen to what they are saying, but I have trouble trying to understand how they would get this information. These Illegal Immigrants, somewhere between the estimates of Twelve Million to as many as Thirty Million now living in this country illegally, have been hiding and using phony names, false information, and changing addresses or moving from Safe House to Safe House, so they will not be deported by The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), and therein lies my problem.

If these Illegal Immigrants have successfully hidden their identities and location from the INS for a period of between two to five or more years by using many aliases, false information, and forged identification documents, what verifiable documents will they be able to present to the US Senate to prove their residency? And if the INS was not able to find their whereabouts in five years, how will the US Senate be able to verify their locations and status over the past five years, and the legality and authenticity of the documents furnished to them, in ten to fifteen minutes of document reading? With that many people to verify, any longer study of the documents to prove accuracy and reliability would be impossible.

This would in essence be a Mission Impossible to accurately document, unless the Senate is ready to accept these people who have been living a lie for all these years, will now tell nothing but the truth. If that works I think I will fill out my Income Tax Form with the simple statement, “Dear IRS, I didn’t make much money this year and I sent in $10,000.00 too much in taxes, so just send me back the refund of $10,000.00” What do you think my chances would be?

My point is that if I, as a Law Abiding, Tax Paying American Citizen must follow he law and have verifiable documentation of virtually everything I do, why shouldn’t these Illegal Immigrants be held to the same high standards of truth and accountability? If I had failed to file a tax form for any of the past ten years, I would be looking at some jail time, so unless these Illegal Immigrants can show a Form 1040 for every year they claim residency in this country, they should be sent to jail for Tax Evasion, and then deported as convicted felons.
