Just not the one he thinks.
This is a very hot issue for the Republicans… One the GOP cannot win.
The GOP can do what they did with the vast majority of other
government issues and spending bills and cave to Obama, in which case the GOP will
take the blame for having gone this long without caving to Obama; or the GOP can
do what needs to be done and accept nothing less than the proposals below.
Since the GOP can't win, then what say they try something increasingly bizarre... like sticking to the principle that if you're here, or going to come here illegally... we don't reward you for that?
The fringe left Obama plan will be just as disastrous as
Reagan’s amnesty. For history buffs, we
were assured back in the day that giving all the illegals that were here
violating our laws amnesty would absolutely solve this problem.
How did that work out for us?
There are many, many ways that are much simpler, easier, and
cheaper.
First and foremost, we have to understand that no matter
what the GOP agrees to here, it’s not going to make any difference when it
comes to the issue of illegal aliens. No
matter what laws are passed, no matter what accommodation is made, we will
continue to have millions of illegals within this country that will not do what
needs to be done to be legal. That’s a
given. We know this, because after the
last amnesty, millions around this country then still did not go forward and do
what needed to be done to become legal.
This issue is rarely if ever brought up, but it’s a
fact. So now that we’ve established
that, what can happen this time?
The same thing.
And it’s going to happen because we will not take the steps
that we need to take to take care of the problem.
The steps are relatively easy, easy to understand, easy to
implement.
All of the steps in question have to be done in such a way
so that the United States ceases being the destination resort for illegal
aliens. This means doing some relatively
straightforward yet simple and undeniably unpleasant actions that will actually
serve to put an end to this problem. The
issue of illegal aliens will not stop being a problem because we go through
charade of legalizing it.
Like so many other problems we face; the United States, as
well as the various states and communities within our country, lack the will needed
to address these issues… We somehow seem to believe that by playing pattycake
with those would violate our laws we are somehow going to resolve the problem.
Technically, you could make murder legal it the states had
the will. Would making murder legal in
the eyes of the law make it go away as a problem?
Of course not. So
what we have here is a president who’s bent on making this problem disappear,
by changing a few words in our laws. In
a more sober moment, the president would acknowledge that no matter what we do
with the law, it will not resolve the problem.…
If the laws are not written to end the incentive for illegal aliens to
come here in the first place.
He’s unconcerned about the billions of additional dollars he
would waste on these illegals; he’s completely shown a disregard for the
impacts on our job market by these illegals; in short, he cares more about the
illegals, it would seem, than the American people themselves. Who knew?
I always thought it was Americans that were supposed to be his primary
concern.
Now, when the illegal aliens get caught, or arrive at the
border, they are so knowledgeable about the system, that they can game it indefinitely. They’ll just asked for amnesty. And as a result, we let them go, until they
get a hearing… If they bother to show up.
Why should they avoid coming here when they know that were
going to be waiting for them with open arms and social programs and in food
stamps and housing and free medical care….
All it little to no cost to them.
As I’ve already pointed out, the solutions to these problems
are relatively simple.
First and foremost: no illegal alien, no person of any
variety who cannot prove their legal status, should be allowed to receive any
city, state or federal benefit of any kind.
That’s right: no food stamps, no medical, no shelter, no
nothing. And those who distribute these
benefits, would be required by law to ascertain citizenship status before one
dime moved. Those whining about how
their job as a law enforcement, can always feel free to quit and go work at
McDonald’s were nobody will care. But if
they are representatives of the government or of any of the governments within
this country there number one job is to obey the law. And if that makes them uncomfortable?
Tough noogies: they can feel free to quit.
That includes schooling for illegal alien children. That includes reduced tuition for illegal
alien college students. That includes taking
it a step further by ending the practice of putting out of state or out of
country students to the head of the line when it comes to getting seats in our
colleges and universities. This means
that those attending are schools in the United States would have to prove their
citizenship status. And that means like
it or not (and I really don’t give a damn if they like it or not) that the
schools would be required to find proof of citizenship, or deny entry of
students into their school.
Second: make it illegal for illegal aliens to own any
property. That means that those who are
here illegally, when they earn a living illegally, and buy things, the owner (and
that would include de facto owners) discovered to be an illegal alien, would
have their assets treated the same as if an American citizen was discovered to
be a drug dealer, and they should suffer forfeiture as a result.
Third: get rid of this idiocy of illegal aliens having driver’s
licenses.
Fourth: denying anyone who is or who has ever been an
illegal alien the opportunity to find a “pathway to citizenship.”
Fifth: make anyone who hires or makes money in any way off
of the illegal alien subject to the same laws as drug dealers: that is, if they
hire illegal aliens to work for them or utilize them in some other capacity,
they become subject to the same forfeiture laws as a drug dealer. Personally, I believe that this would make it
much less likely that illegal aliens would be employed in the United States, if
those doing the employing ran the risk of losing everything.
At this point, some are no doubt thinking, that this requires
some sort of federal ID card. I don’t
have a problem with that. I served in
countries that have federal ID cards, most notably six years in Germany, where
all citizens, 16 and over are required to have this ID known as a “personalauswies.”
(Personal aus vice) These laws are
relatively straightforward, easy to understand, lack a lot of technical
elements, and should be broadcast far and ride wide around the world.
Some out there would object to such an idea. Those who object the strongest. However, have yet to come up with an idea
that would supersede this in such a way that it would dramatically impact are a
illegal alien population. This does not
represent any kind of a sacrifice to me, my driver’s license has served
essentially the same function for a long time.
But it would put an end to many issues concerning welfare fraud, voter
fraud, and of course it illegal alien issues.
Now some reading this would break their own job is screaming
that I’m a xenophobe.
Nothing could be further from the truth; I was once married
to someone who was born outside this country, but who went through the legal
process of becoming a US citizen.
And that’s what I advocate.
I would be the first to agree that our current system of
enabling legal immigration is
as screwed up as the VA claims situation.
So for my purposes, I’m fully in favor of immigration reform…
But not the immigration reform the fringe left wants… the immigration reform
that they see as a way to keep themselves in power forever.
My immigration reform plan would have the five elements
listed above, as well as an actual overhaul and expansion of our current
bureaucracy to ensure that requests for legal immigration are handled
expeditiously and legally, so that they meet the requirements of law currently
in place, but typically ignored by a government that really doesn’t give a damn
about the letter of the law, except when it suits them.
And if the criteria cannot be met? Then you cannot come into this country.
Folks, this isn't rocket science; the fringe leftists
amongst us are open border advocates that really don’t care about issues like
border security and economics of having millions of the illegals in our
country, taking the jobs away from citizens.
That makes them no nevermind because they see each and every one of them
is a potential Democrat voter and that, ladies and gentlemen, is all they give
a damn about.
My concerns extend far beyond that. My concerns are related to our security, and
our economy. Not to mention the fact
that frankly, I am sick of billions of our scarce tax dollars going to fund the
illegal alien resort factory that the United States of America has sadly
become.
