Globalists Destroying America Diane Alden Saturday, Jan. 10, 2004 In the next century, nations as we know [them] will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all. Strobe Talbot, President Clinton's deputy secretary of state, as quoted in Time, July 20, l992
The Washington Post reported on Dec. 19, 2003: "Lobbyists working with the White House said Bush is developing a plan that would allow immigrants to cross the border legally if jobs are waiting for them. The sources said the administration also wants to provide a way for some undocumented workers in the United States to move toward legal status.
Furthermore, Bush said at his year-end news conference last week that he was preparing to send Congress recommendations for an "immigration policy that helps match any willing employer with any willing employee." He said he is "firmly against blanket amnesty" or a mass legalization.
An estimated 8 million undocumented people live in the United States. At least half of them are Mexican, authorities have said.
The blanket amnesty is based on the notion that this will "help" immigrants, the economy and our relations with Mexico. It will allow Mexican workers to come and go across the border so they will not feel they must either stay in the U.S. forever lest they be caught and sent back.
The Bush administration points to how "well" the bracero worker program operated in the '40s, '50s and early '60s. In fact, it did not work well at all.
America would do well to concentrate on its own problems for a while. We are more interested in securing the borders of Iraq than our own. We are more interested in providing jobs for Mexico, India, and China than for Americans. We lecture countries about economic policy while we are totally unable to live within our own budget. And we talk about democracy while we enforce two party elections funded almost entirely by corporate donations at the national level.
