Ilegal immigration

The apologists for illegal immigration do not know when to stop. They continue to ignore the real reasons that illegal immigration and abuse of the legal immigration policies are being ignored. As with most situations, follow the money and see who is benefiting from the current state of affairs. I guarantee that the working class is not benefiting from illegal immigration. Business is clearly benefiting from an influx of illegal immigrants who depress wages. And, of course, the working class is hammered a second time as the criminals among the illegal and legal immigrants terrorize their communities. Meanwhile, the children of those same working class people are off in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting terrorists, while our country is being invaded (See Michelle Malkin’s book “Invasion” for information about the invasion). This permitted invasion is contrary to all of the rhetoric surrounding 9/11 and the need for increased security (i.e., the Department of Homeland Security). While distracting us with new laws like the “Patriot Act,” and a middle-eastern war, no serious action has been taken to control our border. Maintaining the sovereignty of our nation will not be possible if we continue to allow our country to be invaded without fighting back. The real war is along our borders, and the country of Mexico and their citizens have been winning the war and are close to declaring victory (especially in the southwest). Twenty years ago, a Geography professor of mine asked whether it would make sense to have Mexico become the 51^st state of the Union. I replied that it would be illogical to want to incorporate a nation of 100 million poor people into the United States. Well, it appears that it is going to happen anyway unless this nation decides otherwise.

Now, if we want to get serious about illegal immigration, we should arrest all of the illegal immigrants and illegal “legal” immigrants, and as an alternative sentence, make them build immigration walls along our borders. We can do as the Chinese did (The Great Wall of China – 4,163 miles long), using natural materials found in the area to build the wall, thereby keeping material costs low and labor costs low. Since illegal immigrants want to work, let’s put them to work; but let’s make sure that they are on the exterior side of the wall when it is finished.
