A First Step Solving the Illegal Immigrant Problem

Monday, December 04, 2006 3:56 PM


Dear Phyllis,


I am with you! We cannot allow the politicians and their big business backers to declare a General Amnesty for illegal aliens. Millions of Americans are without jobs now. It is crucial we stop this dangerous scheme to lower all wages in the U.S., open our borders and destroy the safety of our country.

To help defeat this dangerous and radical amnesty, I have signed the petition below. Please see that my message is delivered to my representatives in Congress.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Petition to my representatives in Congress:
Whereas, Congress has been asked to enact a new temporary-foreign-workers plan that would amount to amnesty for illegal actions and would invite new foreign workers to enter the United States, and

Whereas, this would turn America into a hiring hall for the world, opening our borders to the millions (and perhaps billions) who want to come to our country, and

Whereas, the increase in the supply of people willing to work for low wages will inevitably depress the wages of all Americans, especially during our current jobless recovery, and

Whereas, this plan will constitute a heavy burden on U.S. taxpayers who are already paying the high cost of hospital care, schools, and prisons used by illegal aliens,

Whereas, this plan is destructive to all concerned because it promotes a subordinate class of workers who will never rise into the American middle class and achieve the American dream,

Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the undersigned citizen of the United States hereby calls on you to oppose any legislation that would grant legal residence to persons illegally in the United States, or would setup a system for "willing foreign workers" to bypass our immigration system.

'The undersigned also urges you in the strongest terms to enact meaningful protections for America by, among other actions, placing troops and technological barriers on our borders to stop additional illegal entry, rejecting all so-called guest-worker proposals no matter what they are called, and cutting off federal highway funds to any state that gives driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

I have no problem with securing our borders. As far as I am concerned we could convert all feasible border areas into military training grounds that need to be crossed in order to access the US.

Still, since I think it is highly impractical and unlikely that we are going to identify and deport ten to fifteen million illegals in the near future, shouldn't we at least set up a system to identify who they are and what their true intentions may be?

Enforcement of the present law once they are here is at very best a token one. I am not recommending amnesty but rather a compulsory registration procedure who those that are financially benefiting from their presence will be held responsible for helping us enact and pay for.

We cannot drydock this leaky ship at sea, but we can initiate damage control.

So what you are advocating is amnesty by another name. Something like George Bush's amnesty program that he calls a guest worker program.

What I am advocating is coming to grips with reality and starting off by making sure we target the least desirable elements first and concentrating our limited resources in identifying and deporting those. In order to do that we must set up a quick system of registration/indentification. Lacking Star Trek technology at this time, we just aren't going to beam 12 million or so people back down to Mexico or wherever even if we turn our system into one which would make the Nazi regime look mild in comparison.

Indefinite probation while things are better worked out is not exactly the same as amnesty. Like it or not, the vast majority of the present illegals are already in a guest worker program, only neither sanctioned nor controlled by the Federal and State governments. Keep in mind that what keeps many people from returning home for two, three, or more months out of each year is the fear that they may not be able to get back in. Turning our present debacle into a legitimate guest worker program by some means may in practice appreciatively lower the actual count of those presently residing here at any given time.

Setting a deadline for any future illegal entry to qualify, in other words making said parties subject to immediate deportation and disqualifying them from eventual legal entry would act as a deterrent, but only because we could now pinpoint our efforts and enforce the law.
