Voting For Ending Immigration

It is hard to believe that immigration is not the most important issue for all, especially Hispanics. All Americans would win if immigration were ended, whereas most Hispanics would lose.
On that basis, Hispanics would vote for Bush and most voters against him. But
Bush is not up for re-election. Consequently, Hispanics must concentrate their votes on ousting House and Senate members up for election who want immigration ended or curtailed, whereas Americans must vote those for ending or curtailing immigration into office.

Americans win if immigration is ended because:
1) the up to 17% per year increases in their health insurance premiums and costs would moderate a bit,
2) their pay would begin to increase,
3) jobs would become more available,
4) the 45 % of 5-year-olds in America today that are black or Hispanic would stabilize,
5) the need for middleclass parents to move to still middleclass school districts or to private schools to prevent debased education of their children once minorities approached 1/3 of a school’s students would end,
6) the need to spend $10,000 on each immigrant child for public schools un-reimbursed in any way by immigrant taxes would end,
7) the need to spend $10,000 per year per student for private education due to immigrant children dumbing down our schools would end,
8) the cost of moving to a still middleclass school district and of paying higher rent or mortgages, taxes and insurance would end,
9) since our schools are unable to raise immigrant children to the level of functional literacy, further permanent additions to the underclass will be avoided, as will their heavy health, education, and welfare subsidies;
10) prison and law enforcement costs will stabilize,
11) the attempt to create a North American Union, with common citizenship and borders between Canada, America, and Mexico at first, then all of Central America, then all of North and South America, with Americans paying the tab with its votes meaningless, will have failed. And more, of course.

Immigrants win if immigration is expanded, as under the Senate Bill or the proposed Penny-Hutchinson compromise, because:
1) A steady supply of guest workers will have been provided for legally with the possibility of bringing extended family and of obtaining citizenship for immigrants by application and test, and children simply by their birth in America.
2) A continuing supply of legal immigration favoring the 8 nations of North and Central America to the virtual exclusion of European and other nations will be continued, expanded, and made law.
3) Free public education for children at $10,000 a child a year will be provided, with no need for the immigrant’s employer to pay wages sufficient to incur taxes to offset the costs.
4) Free health care, valued at $10,000 a year in family health insurance premiums, with no need for the immigrant or his employer to help offset the costs.
5) Social Security benefits way in excess of contributions.
6) Earned Income Tax Credit benefits for making too little.
7) the right to vote (Democratic) for Americans to provide more freebies once citizenship is obtained.
8) the right to bring in extended family, who will qualify for all of the above, especially health care for parents.
9) the ability to vote in both American and Mexican elections.
10) the ability to take any American job simply by working for less, but at many times the wages the immigrant is able to earn at home, needed benefits provided free by the American taxpayers.
11) revenge against the gringo for taking California, Arizona and other parts of Mexico.
12) Making these old Mexican lands, and more, part of a new Mexican sphere of influence and de facto part of Mexico. Thus the promise of 1917’s Zimmerman telegram will have reached fruition peacefully, without the need for war or siding with the Germans.
