7 Truths Liberals Will Never Acknowledge About Illegal Immigration
PJ Media ^ | 16 June 2018 | John Hawkins

As Congress is gearing up to discuss a new amnesty, it’s striking how many falsehoods and bad assumptions made by liberals are driving the debate. Maybe it’s time to start talking about the truth.

1. Any sort of legalization or amnesty encourages more illegal aliens to come here

During the Reagan administration, we had a “one-time” amnesty that featured promises of security in return for three million illegals getting to become citizens. Today, most estimates seem to put the number of illegals in the United States somewhere between 11-12.5 million. In other words, seeing that we weren’t serious about enforcing our immigration laws led to more illegals than ever coming here in hopes of getting amnesty. If this amnesty goes through, we can expect to see the exact same problem repeated in a few decades.

2. A wall would make a major difference

A wall was never intended to be a fix for illegal immigration in and of itself. To the contrary, it’s a force multiplier. What we see everywhere that we have full fencing up is that illegals overwhelmingly avoid those areas. In other words, you can use a wall to direct illegals to certain areas and concentrate the border patrol in those areas. As we’ve seen in Israel and even around the White House and the Vatican, walls work. If you’re serious about stopping illegal immigration, you support a wall.

Liberals know the wall will be effective. That’s why they’re so hysterical about it.

“Why do the refugees never go SOUTH to Costa Rica & Panama?”

__________________________________________________

Costa Rica, Panama, and all points south don’t offer a lifelong shot at the *Golden Goose*, that’s why.

Plus, those countries would probably just throw them out, post haste.

Ditto for investigations into voter fraud. When they shriek and wail the loudest, you know that’s where they are most vulnerable.

Exactly. It's not about deportation - except for those who get crosswise with the law. It's about removing the incentives that make people prefer illegal entry to the proper, legal process. Remove the perverse incentives and the deportation will take care of itself.



~ Reverse the Magnet ~
This is what it takes:
   1. Secure the border in a transparently verifiable way;
   2. End the anchor-baby interpretation of the 14th Amendment;
   3. Enforce E-Verify without exception and with severe penalties;
   4. End chain migration. Entry per individual qualifications, not family ties;
   5. Deportation upon contact with any law enforcement agency - federal, state, or local;
   6. No government benefits beyond critical emergency care (and that ought to be billed back to the home government);
   7. No "Path to Citizenship" - EVER - for anyone who has entered the US illegally.
Any measure which does not accomplish these things is unacceptable. It is de facto amnesty. And it will inevitably, ineluctably encourage millions and millions more illegal entries.

Liberals wont ever acknowledge the lies they hang on to.

They need to simply have their illogic and hatred pushed into their own faces loudly and publicly at every opportunity to let them at least realize their little bubble of lies doesnt really exist.

Have you had success changing a liberal’s mind? I havent. For them, it is emotional not logical. It has nothing to do with facts.

The only way is to defeat them. The place to start is the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL. It is the weakest link, the lynchpin, to break their hold on our institutions.
