IMMIGRATION ISSUES

Immigration: Points to Ponder

Okay, I see on the Network News, nightly, that we’re experiencing some difficulties with “South of the Border” people entering our country illegally. This little problem is compounded by these people exhausting our taxpayer supported benefits such as our hospitals, schools, welfare support systems, etc.; committing an assortment of crimes; and making it a requirement for Americans to speak Spanish while ordering fast food!

So, what do we do? First, we allow bleeding heart, politically-correct liberals' National TV air time to explain that we – U.S. Citizens – are really the ones at fault; that we, apparently, did a horrible (unforgivable) thing by becoming a wealthy and successful country; and that we apparently have more “stuff” than most other countries. These liberals go on to argue that these poor people (illegal aliens) should have the right to a piece of our pie; that it’s the humane thing to do.

I love it when I hear the part about how these poor people just wanting a better life, to assimilate and to become Americans, blah, blah, and blah! However, many don’t seem to want to do things like pay taxes, follow our laws, or even learn English. Now, is this the true definition of “assimilation”?

A challenge: I dare any U.S. Liberal to walk through an East LA neighborhood, some parts of Dallas, or certain areas of Miami after dark, etc., alone---- I bet these neighborhoods will assimilate the liberals, not the other way around!

Oh, I forgot, they (illegal aliens) do want to VOTE here, though – that’s what makes them popular with our elected officials! Ha, with several million potential votes, I doubt that our elected officials will want to “offend” any of these people!

We, being civilized, even allow these illegal immigrants to stage protests, have rallies while expounding on how horrible things are for them in the U.S., and to even let them demand they be allowed to stay in the U.S., etc. Sort of makes one wonder, doesn’t it, if things are so bad here, why would they even want to come and stay here!? Or, better yet, with all their enthusiasm, guile, interest and dedication in social/economic reforms – why don’t they stage their protests and have their rallies in their own countries – making their own countries a better place to live in? Geee, could it be that their countries won’t let them?

I know, I’m being too judgmental, I don’t know what I’m talking about, and I’m not politically correct enough, etc. Okay, then explain why we now have a huge problem with Hispanic gangs in our cities, towns, schools, jails, and prisons? Why are we now enjoying an increase in crimes involving “machetes”; did some kid in Idaho discover this weapon from a Hollywood movie and then spread this technology around the U.S.? Come on, wake up, we aren’t the bad guys here; the bad guys are the bad guys here!

In conclusion:

Theodore Roosevelt once stated that the biggest problem facing the future of the U.S. would be in using “hyphenated names.” Another smart historical person, don’t remember his name, said that the biggest danger facing any country's survival would be in not having a “common language”.

We seem to be violating both!
