I argue against all the political garbage regarding the so called "Amnesty"; "Path to Citizenship"; "Illegal Aliens", etc. Why? It's UnAmerican to even be considering such nonsense.
I have to make one point, however. I am not, nor have I, ever been against legal (re: our immigration laws) immigration. Growing up in middle America, I never gave much thought about immigrants, beyond knowing that my ancestors came from England/France/and Eastern Europe. So other families going through the immigration process was 'normal'.
The first time I realized America was being played for suckers happened when we had the huge influx of immigrants from India and Pakistan. Evidently there was some kind of loophole at the time that permitted "family members" to immigrate, a loophole that was taken advantage of by these people who, upon having their family of three or four approved for immigration status, brought along 200-300 of their "family members". It was a hoax, of course. (for the poorly informed, that word is pronounced "Hoa Ax"). I am not certain that loophole has been closed. If not, it's due to the stupidity of our politicians, as is nailing down the correct definition of "children born in the United States", which was only to be applied to children of SLAVES. Now, except for the majority of liberal voters, we have no other slaves in America at this time. Even so, those children are already covered.
Why is accepting Amnesty for illegal Aliens, giving them a "path to citizenship", etc., etc. UnAmerican? Well, number one : for the same reason robbing a bank is UnAmerican...it's illegal. With the realization that we have a Congress made up of lawyers, well, except for one lousy comedian who thinks he's a politician...hey, isn't that most of those clowns? OK, back to my realization...that lawyers should know the law. So now we have a new paradigm...it's OK to be a law breaker, or to allow lawlessness, if it is politically expedient.
To that 'paradigm' I ask - It is?
Of all the reasons put forth as excuses to ignore the law, usually put forth by criminals, the debate around illegal aliens has to be the lamest. In light of the horrible economic situation many of us face, how about ignoring bank robbers, or burglars or pick-pockets. They are only trying to improve their economic situation, aren't they?
That's why I am totally perplexed by this entire argument. Politicians have to begin looking at this debate as a 'third rail' argument...no winners, ever. The past illegals who went through the Reagan amnesty do not want the competition from a new crop; American citizens certainly don't want these people here, uninvited; and the people waiting in line, sometimes for years, for their "legal" immigration to be accepted are becoming tired of the lack of intestinal fortitude for doing the right, the legal, the American thing.
I'll make some predictions: If we do anything except force the illegals back to their countries of origin, to allow them to work on fixing their situations there; if we allow these people to stay, play the birth card, or take green cards that should go to honest temporary workers, then the Republican Party is dead; and America will simply be another place into which criminals sneak.
Are you listening, Senator Rubio?
God Bless America.
