Illegal Immigration

The film "A Day Without a Mexican” is a 2004 low budget film about the disappearance of all the illegal immigrants (Mexicans) from California. It portrays the Anglos (anyone who is not Hispanic or of French descent) and all others as bigots and totally dependent on the illegal immigrants. It is a propaganda film “at best” and a concerted effort to keep the borders open and possibly planting the seeds of “recolonisation”. It points out that all of the states in the West and South West were at one time part of Mexico. Apparently the film is popular in California and Texas. In addition, it does not deal with Home Land Security.

You can’t beat a birth rate. At the present rate of illegal immigration, anchor babies and growth of the legal Latino population in this country, the day is coming when the US will be a “Latin American Country”. I am not talking about a culture base on the Founding Fathers, but on a “Spanish” speaking people, “Latin American Country”. Where in the Hispanic countries of this hemisphere do you find a country close to our values? We don’t live in a perfect country and our country’s history is filled with injustice. But compared to the rest of the world, we have the best government and nation. Many of the Hispanics coming to this country are seeking a better life, but if they don’t assimilate and are not kept at a reasonable rate of growth, the excess baggage (corruption and poverty) that they bring with them will overtake this country. Do we want our children and grandchildren to live in a country of five hundred million people dominated by the values of Latinos such as Hugo Chavez or other leftist leaders? What about the old dictators like Juan Peron or the corrupt governments of Mexico? What about the poverty? No middle class, unabated crime, drugs, prostitution of children and the killing of young girls. The United States of America is heading down the road of a “Third World Country”. Are we as a people going to standby as our leaders (both the Democrats and Republicans) sell their souls for the “ Latino vote” and the corporate dollar made off of “Latino cheap labor”?

We have to proactively take back our country at the ballot box, close the borders (with the military and/or a fence) and remove the incentive for illegal immigrants to easily find work without proper documentation. Adapt some kind of seasonal and/or limited visiting work permits (agreement by both the US and Mexico by which Mexican laborers would obtain work permits in Mexico before entering the US). Penalize and incarceration of US employers who break the law by hiring undocumented workers. Apply the same laws to illegal immigrants as are applied to US citizens (plus deportation when required). In addition, pass or enact laws forbidding illegal immigrants access to free medical care and other services now afforded to illegal immigrants (other than for humane purposes or through the visiting work permits). The application of the Fourteen Amendment, as it was originally designed. Review the guidelines for legal immigration such as quotas and require assimilation of legal immigrants (learning English and etc.).

IF we don’t take action now before it is to late, then we will become a balkanized country ripe for an uncertain future.
