Hi everybody! I haven't been around in a while. My computer went bye-bye. I'm planning to take it to my cousin's to get it fixed, but just haven't had the time. I also haven't really have the time to catch up on the news. But I have read in our local paper about the immigration problem that we are having. Oh my, I don't know what people are thinking. For anyone to buy into the load of crap these illegals are handing out is ludicriss. Come on. They are chanting things like "WE ARE NOT CRIMINALS", if you are not, then what are you? Last time I checked, if you broke the law, that made you a criminal.
If I go to a place that said that blonde men can't speak, and I thought it was a stupid law, and talked any way, then I would be breaking the law, and thus would be a criminal. To steep for you? I am not racist, nor am I against othe nationalities, what I am against is people using illegal tactics to get their say.
I was just sitting here thinking that some people might say that what they are doing is no different than what the colonist did when we broke and won our freedom from England. But it is not even close. The colonist lived here. many were born here. Alot of them had been sent here. The british King hadn't even set foot here in America. It was also a different time.
These people are coming here from a different country, without our permission, and demanding the right to do so. The are not here legally.
I do have a solution to the problem, though. I have though of this for a long time. Build a fence from the Gulf to the Pacific. Use the Naval SeaBees to do this. They are already being paid, so they can use this as a training excersize. They have the machinery and the man power to do this. Have the Army Corps. Of Engineers to help. Then raise enlistment quota's in th army and the marines. Also the coast Guard. Set up units all along the fence with the sole duty to protect our southern border. The only true extra cost that the wall will have is materials to build it.
When you go to get the supplies, pass a federal law against price gouging the government, which, by the way, is a lont time in coming. That way, the government can get the supplies at the lowest cost.
And one last thing. There was a kid in Tulsa that had "DO I LOOK LIKE A CRIMINAL TO YOU" written across his back. My answer to that is this. Are you an American citizen? Is you parents? Did they come over here by illegal means? If the answer to those are yes, then yes, you are a criminal. Unfortunately, there are alot of kids involved in this problem. And it is not their faults. But there has to be responsibility put on the parents for their criminal act.

As I have said in many posts ILLEGAL is ILLEGAL. There is no way around that the way things are now and rewarding someone for breaking a crime regardless of how ridiculous is ridiculous. We need a clean slate and then we can start changing laws.
Great "I'm Back" post!

are here working without paying taxes - why not document them, fingerprint them (to keep the criminals away),and allow them to pay the much needed tax money at a two-year incremental rate via authorization . Bet after a year the process will be hailed as worthier than the endless classroom-teaching-type rhetoric over who the founding fathers were and what illegal immigrants mean to us .If we look before leaping we may avoid falling into holes on our journey to success.
If there is no way for them to earn money, that would soon close the gap some in itself?
I work for Hope Unites, a non-profit organization, designed to help in the golf port and it is true that we need to build a levee before a fence, so I think somehow we have to start making a way to hold more accountability on those who support someone without the legal means of residing here.
Great post, as usual.
People need to work to eat and survive, and capitalists exploit them -- and do everything they can to blame the worker when things go sour.
Wake up and smell the tortillas, guys.
Our government won't touch the corporations, though. They have millions to "buy off" our lawmakers. Sadly, money talks....
If you sync the human history with a calendar year, we got here at around Jan. 2 at noon. Is it because we won the glorious battles against the Indians that give us the right to proclaim self-righteousness? If so, than we must see that the immigrants are winning the current glorious battle. They have certainly populated this area at a rate that Ben Franklin would admire.
We have morally fought the idea of fences and walls and now propose them? I think the next "Reagan" will come to power in Mexico and say, "Mr. Bush, tear down this wall!"
Americanism is hurridly reaching the epoch of the Romans; widely feared, but with crosshairs zeroed in.
It is a brave new world, I wish were as prepared as the emerging markets for the E Pluribus Unum (The New World Order) printed on the back of the almighty buck$
We give the Isreali's back their land that was taken. Should we give back ours?
My proposal would cost about $1 -2 billion dollars annually. Which is not much since we are at a minimum of $10 -12 billion dollars in the red annually with tax dollar payments that go out to families headed by illegal aliens, compared to the tax revenue that comes in from them. And that red ink will double or more if they are given citizenship because as US citizens they would be entitled to alot more money.
Then next biggest problem after this will be the second wave once amnesty is granted by 2008. That being that all of those new citizens will then be able to sponsor other family members to be able to come into this country then "legally".
Whant needs to be done in order to perserve our union is : 1.) a border must be erected for national security reasons, 2.) A minimum of 30,000+ border patrol agents must be hired( NYC has a police department of 35,000 men to patrol a city of 10,000,000 people) 3.)Raids and heavy fines, and jail time must be handed out to corporate offenders of hiring illegal aliens 4.) any assimilation program must have english as an official and nationally unifying language, otherwise we repeat Canada's mistake with Ontario. Within a specified amount of time of this enactment then all bilingualism programs supported by tax dollars would cease, because there would be no need for them any longer. Promoting further tax savings because of duplication.
If we shut down the border in this way, and stop this current non military invasion of our country, then Mexico will be forced by internal growing discontent to change their government, or face overthrow from within.
The only real solution: Increase LEGAL immigration. Invite more people to come and live in the US and pay the taxes that will feed you once you are too old to get a job.
So why hasn't this government done enough of that?
Answer: Lack of big picture thinking.
Some are even in the Army, and let's face the US hires people from India to work in Computer Information Technology jobs which do pay good money, and this pisses me off because then they want to pay the Citizens less because of this. The trend of outsourcing all manufacturing jobs to China which is still a communist country last time I looked it up, and makes a few citizens rich while the middle class suffers. This will continue to happen. If the US wanted to stop the invasion of illegals to come here and work to send back money to their families in Mexico and central america they could. One of the other issues is that they inserted puppet presidents in these countries to distroy their economy, which forces the influx of illegals here. The blame lays with our own government. By the way Mexico wants a recount of the votes taken recently because they are sure that the same thing that happened in Florida in 2000, and Ohio in 2004, took place in Mexico with votes being changed or not counted at all by machines made by Debold which are very easy to hack. I bet they were made in China.
