They Will Deport Themselves

They Will
Deport Themselves

A border patrol officer frisks a Mexican illegal immigrant intercepted at night
in the desert near Naco, Arizona, while his companions look on in the background.

Every time an illegal alien sets foot in America he or she is a knowing burglar, breaking and entering across our borders, violating our laws. They are also squatters, attempting to colonize our land and our nation. Every moment of their presence in our country is an ongoing criminal act.

It is also illegal for a them to work here, so every cent these alien invaders take is done so illegally… as is ever dollar of unearned subsides they're able to defraud from American taxpayers.

Thus, all of the proceeds of the illegals' inhabitation of the United States are the ill-gotten gains of an ongoing criminal enterprise.

As such, they ought to be treated like the proceeds of any other criminal enterprise, from fraud to theft to drug dealing to racketeering…

The assets of illegal aliens should be subject to total forfeiture.

They are criminals, there is no moral reason why not. Therefore, a solution to much of our nation's problems with these international burglars resolves into focus…

Amnesty for illegal aliens was tried in 1986, with a bipartisan bill that was signed into law by President Reagan. 2.7 million illegals were able to get green cards in a one-time only program. That amnesty would only happen once was an integral part of the bargain the federal government struck with the American people, who have always opposed illegal immigration by large margins. The other part of the bargain was a promise of effective law enforcement against future illegals.

The craven betrayal of this promise to the American people is bipartisan. Presidents Reagan, Bush the Elder, and Clinton all ignored the problem of illegals, as did both parties in Congress with the lone exception of the Republicans in 1996. Key to this failure has been the unwillingness of the federal government to deport illegals, as the law provides, in large numbers from the interior of our country.

Without deportation, there will be no solution to illegal immigration.

Now that the cancer of illegals has metastasized to 12 million and growing, many of these same politicians suggest that the solution to their malfeasance of duty is some new form of amnesty… "Nevermind the earlier deal with the American people, the problem is now too big for our laws to solve, we must Surrender."

Their condescending gall is like that of death row lawyers who run out of appeals, and then suggest that execution after 15 years is cruel and unusual punishment. Any unpleasantness resulting from the delay is entirely the onus of our elected officials to bear. The American people never wanted their laws not to be enforced.

Even the current White House of President George W. Bush is sending such signals with their periodic trial balloons about "normalizing undocumented workers" and "making their work legal."

This is as much as saying…

"Because we broke our promise to enforce the law against illegal aliens, we have no choice to break our promise that amnesty would happen only once."

Bunk.

We are told incessantly by these same spineless, duplicitous politicians from both parties how the problem of illegal immigration is intractable… Much as many of those same cowards once described the problem of terrorism. Winning changes things, doesn't it?

It's time to fight and win the battle against the illegal invaders, all 12 million-plus of them. We don't need to round them all up; we simply enact the appropriate and fully Constitutional legislation, and serve the aliens notice:

"Be gone in 90 days. If you aren't, all of the proceeds of your criminal presence in the United States will be subject to total asset forfeiture."

This will be the disincentive to their ongoing invasion.

On this printout of intercepted illegals, one immigrant has left a message
for the border patrol. In this game of cat and mouse,
people are repeatedly caught and returned to Mexico.

Some will leave, and some won't. After 90 days, we round up a few hundred thousand of them. That should be enough time to hire the manpower to process the invaders. Then we take all they own within our borders, recycle it into INS coffers, and send them swiftly back to their own countries, whether China, Mexico, Ireland, or wherever, with no profit for their illegal efforts.

The other 12 million illegals will take heed. Step aside, and watch the stampede.

It will only get easier… if only we start.

Employment is the key. If they could not find work, they would not come here.

The penalty for hiring illegal aliens needs to be upgraded. We are at war. Hiring illegals provides aid and comfort to our enemies. It should be viewed as treason and punishable by death.

If Ashcroft were to prosecute for treason just one or two of the employers who most flagrantly violate our immigration laws, the deterrent value would be enormous.

I doubt that we would even have to actually execute any of them. In a few years, Bush could commute their sentences to life without parole.

Funny thing I noticed looking at the picture of those two guys caught in Naco, they don't look hungry to me. They seem to eating well. In fact, the one in front weighs more than me just by looking at him. I thought famine and poverty was causing them in desperation to cross our borders??

Good article, Saber. Politicians, and the business community would be wise to direct their energy and support to the under-employed American citizens who need to be removed from welfare roles and put into gainful employment, without adding competition from illegal workers from poorer countries, who will work for even less money. The cycle of poverty in America's inner-cities and rural areas will never be broken if we continue to motivate able-bodied Americans to degenerate and collect welfare, while we import illegal workers to do entry-level work.

However, politicians, the liberal media and the business community who hire and benefit from the illegals' work believe that the American economy needs hundreds of thousands of undocumented workers to fill unskilled and unwanted jobs within the United States. At least some politicians and liberals would appear to be attempting to justify illegal immigration as an economic necessity and as a benefit to American business. And less scrupulous business owners agree and are exploiting these illegal workers in sweatshops and farm fields throughout the country.

I'd love to be. I have watched illegals fill out papers from other illegals. I have seen some of the "forgeries". They are junk and VERY easy to spot. Documented workers can also be checked on. A simple phone call is all that it takes. How many "Manuel Artegas" work in Denver? 1,000? It seems one gets in legally and gives the ID to 1,000 others.

Besides all that, if the person cannot speak a lick of english, why are these McDonalds' putting them on the registers trying to take orders?

And more than a few of those politicians are "conservative" DIABLA (Democrat in all but label) Republicans... not a few in the current White House. Some actually believe that selling out our country to illegals is a good way to attract latinos to the GOP.

We Americans have a lot of our own house cleaning to do.

If there were national referenda, this would win in a landslide.

We're smart and resourceful. Why don't we join forces with whoever is most credible and has the most consistency and Moral Integrity on this issue -- Michael Savage's Paul Revere Society springs to mind? -- organize one?

Great essay, well written, good practical ideas.

Self-funded INS policy.

[healey22]

The time has come for a Citizens Border Patrol.

A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE for the Big-Toothed Cat!!!

[FITZ]

Heavy sanctions, including jail time, could be imposed on both the employees who hire illegals and illegals who apply for, or hold jobs.

I think that would work ----plus Hispanic citizens should really be irate because every area with a high population of illegals has very low rates of health insurance and other benefits given to Hispanics --even legal. These business will hire an illegal over a legal Hispanic just to save a lot of money on benefits.

Nice thread from sabertooth and courtesy of Mercuria..

[janetgreen]

VERY LOUD APPLAUSE, AND YAAAYYYY FOR THE SABERTOOTH!!

[Sabertooth]

Thanks folks... much appreciated.

How 'bout it Jim Robinson? Care to start that petition? I'll sign!

I'll second that!

[sheltonmac]

Let's do away with illegal immigration in one fell swoop-- legalize it! (Just kidding, of course!)

Good points all.

[flamefront]

Seizing accounts would be a good start. Once the invasion snowball can be reversed even slightly in the opposite direction that will be enough to get the message out to further invaders. Good post.
