No need to wait.
This is the present course of action, I believe?
"#2. Should we wait for Federal legislators to compromise our security and way of life by resolving the problem in a manner that is politically correct and acceptable to every nation in the world?"
No need to wait.
This is the present course of action, I believe?
"#3. If we continue to send snail mail and email letters to your local and State leaders. Will the roar be ever loud enough to be heard in the highest offices? What will their response be? Submition to illegal immigrants who want to change America forever?"
No need to wait.
This is the present course of action, I believe?
"#4. Should we wait until you fly off the handle and lash out at an illegal alien, surely resulting in legal problems that will further harm your family and ruin your life's ambition to be a good and loyal American citizen?"
No need to wait.
This is the present course of action, I believe?
"#5. Should you ignore the illegal immigration problem and hope it will go away before it gets much worse?"
No need to wait.
This is the present course of action, I believe?
If you think I'm kidding?
...I assure you, I'm not.
No, and it going to be interesting to watch.
Yes, I am aware this is the present course of action and that all of them have FAILED miserably. You are also aware of this so how about giving us some new ideas that you believe will correct the problems.
Unfortunately, I don't believe that the politicans will be bright enough to forsee this downfall early enough to stop it.
That is the basis on why I am attempting to roust the FReepers into action. Wish me luck and lots of it.
Yea, they've all failed miserably, alright.
So you've noticed then they're not changing a damned thing, too.
Sure, you know that.
"You are also aware of this so how about giving us some new ideas that you believe will correct the problems."
I cannot publically post what I think the solution to the problem should be B4.
You know that, also.
The times we're living in, what the bastard politicians -- from both sides -- have permitted to happen whatwith the strange "PC" crap word games & menueverings?
Makes ANY concerned citizen who's dumb enough to state aloud their OPINION a, "traitor," a "Racist," a "Bigot" et al.
One so much as DARES speak out these days & they'll be subject to complete & total destruction so fast it'll make your head *spin*.
Essentially, they've made the very *act* of one protecting themselves, unfeasable.
You know that, too.
Let's just say if we wanted to stop the illegal problem; &, I mean really wanted to stop it?
There'd have to be some serious, radical changes made from within our own elected political leadership, educational institutions & legal system.
None of which is going to ever happen, incidentally.
And though this is something you may not know, I'd bet you sense it, nonetheless.
The nation's in a real, genuine, stinking mess.
...now that's one thing I do know.
Yes, but the flaw here is that capitalism has been circumvented by the minimum wage, which destroys the wage supply dynamics and holds them artificially high.
The most effective way to deal with the illegal workers issue is to create a guest-worker program that will satisfy the American employers' needs.
No, the way to deal with this problem is to repeal the socialist minimum wage so that illegals won't be motivated to come for work that isn't worth it.
The big capitalists, the farmers, the construction companies, the middle class people who refuse to mow their lawns are not going to give up their cheap labor.
They won't have to, it will go back to being done by teenagers and the down and out here, the way it always has been. Things will always get done. If you sealed the borders with armed soldiers then the cost of coming here would be too high. Mexico would be forced to change the draconian land ownership laws that are bringing this situation about in the first place.
Ever ask yourself why this nation's nearest neighbor to the south has the problem, when they are sitting on some of the largest gas reserves in the world?
If you check into it you will find that individuals cannot own land, cannot own farms, cannot own those things that would make it possible for them to create their own farms, factories and businesses to get ahead. Only towns, communities and collectives can own land in Mexico. When did you ever hear this, when were you ever told? There is no motivation for Mexico to change as long as they can send their peasants here. That's who all these people are, peasants who cannot legally own land in Mexico. The situation is far more complex than a 'guest-worker' program. It is a level of political corruption that we ignore in Mexico to our own detriment.
The other flaw in the 'guest-worker' thesis is that in California they can get more medical care, more education, more free living expenses, more of everything, than they can in their own country even if they had money. There is no advantage to being part of a guest worker program over just coming here and being an illegal if you don't make some penality for being illegal, like shooting them as the come across the border.
Reality is not the way things should be, but reality it the way things are.
The reality is, if the government doesn't start doing something soon, people are going to start taking things into their own hands. Some already are, as a link I posted shows. The coming meltdown in California is going to be really ugly. That's the reality. And as it does, the rest of the country is going to see the horror and say, 'Not here.'
Waking up depends upon whose sleeping.
It's not that these people are coming to America that is the problem, it's the vehement refusal to become Americans, speak English, and become PART of America that is the problem: they want to re-create their little socialist hell-holes, rather than (oh yeah, he's gonna use the word) ASSIMILATE into the culture that has given rise to the single beacon for THE INDIVIDUAL.
As to your aspersions toward our youth, remember that you seldom see 4-H rs in the news, or the Civil Air Patrol, but they are there, and what you see on TV, the paper, and even the internet does NOT reflect the reality of youth today. The reason you see so many "bad apples" is simply because there are more people. Really.
(Representative's name)
I am concerned with the problem of illegal immigration in our nation. Over one million American jobs are lost to those who are here illegally and will work for much lower pay than legal domestic workers of the U.S. I am sure many of these same people also do not pay into the tax system and take tax dollars from the Food Stamp program, Medicare, and other social services that cause more problems for the big budget deficit of the U.S. Federal Government. The threat of terrorism also looms with our unsecure and open borders in the United States.
Employers must be held accountable for hiring illegal workers. Laws must be passed and more importantly enforced to support American workers. I am counting on you to support the American people. We need you to help keep our nation healthy, strong and to support these desperately needed changes.
Sincerely,
(Your Name)
Yes I will be sending the letters on a dead trees not by electronic mail. I would like comments on this letter.
