The perils of illegal immigration rattle around in the attic of public policy like a troubled spirit. We pretend not to hear the dragging chains because we don't know how to silence them, but the ghosts will endure, especially in California. Because the nation can't control its borders, the number of illegal immigrants grows by an estimated half-million each year. They come because we invite them with lax law enforcement and menial jobs. Their presence makes our own poor more destitute, creating a Third World chaos in the California economy that we are only beginning to understand.
Patricia Morena has no time for a philosophical discussion on unauthorized immigration. She lives with it, or tries to. She's a U.S. citizen of Mexican descent, and a motel maid in Chula Vista, six miles north of the border. She's short and heavyset, and dresses with care in tasteful thrift shop. She earns $300 before taxes, when she's fortunate enough to have a five-day week. She's a single mom with three children, all stuffed into a ratty little one-bedroom apartment. The eldest, an 18-year-old boy, has taken to stealing; she thinks it's because he's always been poor.

That loss of tax revenue is key to understanding why unchecked illegal immigration creates a downward economic spiral. Jan. C. Ting, Temple University law professor and former assistant commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, says the swelling population of poor people who have little more than manual labor to offer, and who pay few taxes, will inevitably draw heavily on social services. That drain will, in turn, increase taxes on businesses and homeowners, who may depart for other states, which in turn will drive tax rates even higher.

Given the current situation, I'd vote for an identity card.
And the right people are:
1. The current inept administration..... the one that has ignored domestic issues from day one, has refused to secure the borders, and has gotten into bed with the vile likes of the Mexican government.
2. The invading hordes themselves.
3. Employers of the invading hordes.
4. Those who give sanctuary to the invading hordes (cities, counties, crooked law enforcement agencies, scumbags like Willie Brown and James Hahn, that crooked governor of Illinois, Arizona Governess Butch Napolitano, etc.
5. The corrupt Mexican government.
6. The many religious outfits who violate federal aiding and abetting laws with impunity.
7. Fifth-column seditionist outfits like the Southern Poverty Law Center, National Council of La Raza (the race), MALDEF, LULAC, Catholic Charities, and other assorted and sundry poverty pimps,
In the words of the POTUS, "BRING THEM ON".
Compound this with the loss of manufacturing and tech jobs with hordes of legal and illegal immigrants coming in, a collision will happen. None of this adds up.
Don't forget who's bankrolling these guys. The Ford Foundation.
Here's where a surgical enforcement could work wonders.
Put employers in JAIL who knowingly hire illegals.
Impose heavy civil penalties (including damages to those citizens and legal residents not hired) on employers who can demonstrate that they did not KNOWINGLY hire illegals. IOW, make hiring illegals a tort.
Scare the employers.
But it wouldn't matter which bankers party was in office the same agenda would be followed.
The fact is our own government is trying to take us down for their elite rulers.
In order to have one ruling class the rest of us have to be cattle.
So controlling our economic system our education system and our religious system is the agenda.
Our economic system was handed over to foreign banksters in 1913. Public education has become government education the same as our Churches have become State churches through incorporation.
30 years ago some American's were trying to tell the rest "Buy American" , but the rest wouldn't listen.
Our government recruited corporations to leave America and relocate in other countries and paid for it with our tax dollars. Naturally that's what the corporations wanted , why pay American wages when you can pay slave wages and sell the same products back to stupid American's at American prices and no tariffs.
You think this is too underhanded to be true.
Well American elites asked Roosevelt to sign the Trading with the Enemy Act so they too could profit from the international bankster wars. The great Roosevelt was bought and paid for before he ever saw office. Because of his name the banksters ask him to run for governor of New York which was the first step to becoming president ( something hillary hopes still works). Sly ole Roosevelt declined bringing up his debt with his polio ranch in Georgia or Alabama , I don't remember which anymore.Well the debt disappeared and Roosevelt turned America into a welfare state.
American corporations sold Hitler the materials neccessary to keep the war going. This allowed the international banksters who own the federal reserve to make money from both sides of the war. Like they have done in America since our (their) own Civil War.
During the Vietnam "Limited Conflict" ( a CFR concoction ) Rockefeller made a deal with Russia and had Roosevelt sign it. After which Rockefeller began selling materials to Russia that were turned into weapons and sold to North Vietnam.
Weapons that were used to kill over 58,000 American's.
Bush and Cheney are taking in the profits off of Iraq as they console American's who lost loved ones.
We have been cattle for quite awhile , they just haven't officially told us.
But since our government has been giving China neuclear technology and our special forces have been training theirs , it's only a matter of time before we have a new enemy that will make New York look like a cakewalk.
We helped Mao keep China , we trained Ho Chi Minh , we befriended Iran then trained and armed Iraq.
For some reason we always arm and train our enemies before we classify them as enemies , so our elites can make profits off of our deaths.
Iraq , did not attack New York. When history comes out I think you will find that New York happened just like the Lusitainia and Pearl Harbor.
The end justifies the means. America's elites wanted the war with Iraq and Saddam was in on it , so IT was going to happen. Weapons of mass destruction or not.
Unless American's wake up the END will be ours.
Sorry
Hey, that's my bandwagon. Glad to see other jumping aboard.
That's extremely intriguing. Will you reveal more details at a later time?
I guess this is the same family of THE Henry Ford (of the Model 'T' fame)? Worst enemy in terms of what...this subject or in general?
You aren't alone. I'm a bit more optimistic than you are. Here's why:
Over the past few years, the situation has gotten just outrageous; it is no longer the US we all grew up in when educated, intelligent, hardworking and competent people can't find jobs. Those that do have jobs aren't real confident about them lasting, and most are horribly in debt and/or have lost their retirement savings. What's the governmnet solution been? Well, low interest rates, so they can live off their equity. With a Presidential election coming up, at least on of those Democrats is going to connect the dots...they want to help the US worker, but it's impossible as long as border jumpers drain any program offered and jobs, even if created, will either go to non-citizens here, or be shipped overseas. At least one of these candidates trolling for votes is going to get the connection and call for guarded borders and an end to letting corporations of the hook for hiring illegals and/or shiiping jobs out. In that six-way race, there are a lot of primary votes just waiting for the candidate who takes up that issue.
Work on them. Email and call and say you like the candidate, but this issue is important to you, as otherwise nothing will work. I really think the issue will be a winner in the next election, if we don't keep Republican blinders on.
