Borderline Insecurity

by: Melinda Zosh, July 08, 2008

Mark Krikorian, author of The New Case Against Immigration argues that today’s society is vastly different, and low-skilled immigrants actually harm America. “[Today’s] immigrants aren’t that different from the past but we’ve changed,” said Krikorian. “High levels of immigration on incompatible with the goals of modern society.”

And one of the goals of modern society, Krikorian argued, is the creation of even wages and a fair labor market. Immigration actually threatens the jobs of teens and blacks.

“Certain groups of American workers most directly in competition [with immigrants] are in fact seeing their employment rates decrease,” said Krikorian. “They’re being crowded out of the labor market.”

Besides threatening jobs, Krikorian argues that illegals are not assimilating into the American culture, because technology connects today’s immigrants to their old cultures.

“Conflict between the cultures is very serious. Modern technology makes transnational lives possible… for the immigrant to not lose touch with the old society,” said Krikorian.

Not losing touch with the old society means not attaining a patriotism for America, Krikorian argued. However, massive waves of immigration pose a major national security threat.

“The immigration service today is utterly incapable of screening out people we want to screen out,” said Krikorian. “However effective and efficient [they are], when they have to screen well over a million legal immigrants a year, they can’t do their job [as] effectively.”

Fred Siegal, a member of the Cooper Union, and a long-time resident of Brooklyn, New York, said he witnesses the problems created by immigrants, especially second-generation immigrants.

“We have enormous investment in immigrants that are already here,” said Siegal. “People don’t adapt to the labor market; they adapt to niches.”

Siegal said that mass immigration creates a servant class...

We already have too many home grown imbeciles.

We don't need to import them ILLEGALLY.

Just look at how many are voting for the Obomination ... amongst that group many are LEGAL. Truly we don't need more ILLEGALS Oboma type DOPES.

It used to be that the incremental cost to the government of another person coming in was close to zero. Now that we are so far down the road to socialism the expense of a new immigrant is in the thousands of dollars and in the tens of thousands if they get any significant medical care or have a couple of kids. Unless they are expected to earn enough income to pay that type of taxes, it comes up as a major social expense to allow new immigrants in.

I rank as BS any of those studies which claim immigration of the uneducated masses is a net positive to anyone other than those who employ them cheaply.
