The unintended consequences of proving a negative (immigration)

The president is about to “legalize” 5 million undocumented aliens “living in the shadows in the USA”.

Let's not quibble over whether or not he has the legal authority to do so; when he does, the executive branch will treat the commandment as legal, so de facto it will be legal.

Where things start to get a bit tricky is in the implementation of this mass clemency. How exactly are these shadow people to demonstrate their eligibility for this benefit? We must assume the level of foreign documentation these people have is somewhere between zero and the whole ball of wax. So the implementers – in the interests of fairness – must be prepared to accept zero documentation as sufficient to prove that one is a shadow person.

And there's the fundamental problem with this action based on a lack of something (legal residence). Anyone can prove themselves eligible if the standard of proof is nothing. I can give the same proof of living in the shadows, you can too. My whole family and all my imaginary friends can.

Anyone can.

So, a humble suggestion: come the amnesty, leave your wallet at home and go sign up, once, twice, as many times as you can bear. If you're not comfortable doing this in front of your neighbors or folks you know at town hall, go to the next town. But sign up. Let's Cloward-Piven the heck out of this illegal monstrosity. If zero wants 5 million central americans signed up, let's give him that PLUS 25 million more newly discovered Americans. All laws have unintended consequences, this non-law needs its illegality and its illogic thrown back in its face the minute it is signed.

“a concerted effort to bring millions of Ukrainians into the country as refugees should be started.

After all, they really do have a refugee claim, unlike ordinary Mexican peasants merely seeking gringo cash.”

NO THANKS-—and that’s all I have to say on the subject.

Like someone said on another thread: “it’s like opening a jar of grasshoppers”. I say we supply some of the grasshoppers.

I feel like that. Heck, I’d file for an injunction, but I don’t have the filing fee.

Why should ANY AMERICAN (or LEGAL IMMIGRANT) pay their: taxes, anymore? Why shouldn’t any American Citizen get a pass to get out of jail? Why should anyone obey Laws?

I am sick of this man. I DESPISE him and his Administration of thugs. They won’t live like the rest of us will have to. In any Banana Republic/Communist/Socialist Country, the Elites never live like the SERFS.

Yes, I’m afraid this particular act brings a lot of people to that point. The war was lost some time ago; most of us didn’t even notice. I think the majority of the population will catch on soon, here on FR we’re just a little ahead of them.

These people in congress and the judiciary, there may not even be a Country next election if they don’t step up and stop this mess. I am so sick for my kids, my future grandkids, every American Citizen’s kids/grandkids. We ought to at the minimum leave this Country as good as we had it. A chance for the American Dream, not a third-world toilet.
