Almost all of the population growth in the 21st century will take place in the poorest regions other than Mexico – for example countries of Latin America that have economic and social conditions worse than Mexico and a labor force willing to work for less wages than illegal aliens from Mexico. The poorest regions of the world that face the most population growth include sub-Saharan Africa, other areas of the African continent, and in Central and South Asia. If it’s all a matter of “work that Americans won’t do” and that, so we are told, without such foreign, peasant, servitude labor, that America’s “economy would collapse”, then why not do what many other countries are currently doing which is extending a guest-worker program to bring in (unfree) contract labor from poor countries other than Mexico?
For example there are Arab and Middle Eastern countries which have guest worker programs that take in cheap labor from Africa and the Philippines, as well as from Bangladesh and Pakistan. The Africans will do the work cheaper than the Filipinos, so they do the “grunt work” and the Filipinos do the laundry and stuff. And the Bangladeshis, they will do the work that even the Africans won’t do. And they are Muslim!
Of course, such countries strictly enforce the rules of their guest worker programs, and no alien is allowed to stay beyond their allotment or they go to prison or worse. And since such labor comes from Africa, or the Philippines for example, it is very easy for such governments to enforce such regulations since the migrant labor is far from home and easily identified.
We hear of abuse of such migrant labor who work in the Middle East and other such countries which engage in guest worker programs, including claims that slavery is actually the conditions of such migrants, that rape and other such abuse occur. The governments of such countries tell the international community that such claims are exaggerated, and though it may occur as any crime does, it is rare and punished if proven.
That is what we are told.
But what these countries have proven is, with today’s technology, and today’s global communications and methods of travel, there are really very little obstacles to importing thousands, yes even millions, of such migrant labor into one’s country – if it really is such an economic necessity which pertains to the very survival of a nation’s economy for which without such peasant labor the economy cannot sustain itself, then surely the means can be afforded the methodology.
There are many independent businesses, large corporate interests even, which could facilitate the importation of millions of such servitude labor into the United States to sustain our economy, of which such labor the proponents of guest worker programs from the United States Senate and from the White House are telling the American people we cannot do without. And, there is really little difference between this proposed guest workers program and the current proposal.
During the slavery days, in the early and mid-1800’s, such cheap, foreign labor was vital to the economy of the South. Of course, today, we do not have slavery in the United States, and after a Civil War (The War Between the States, as it was called in those days), Africans who were brought as cheap labor into the United States were freed by the Republicans. Or something like that, depending on which history book you read. The more recent editions document how the Democrats freed the slaves, and that the Republicans continued to fight for Southern slavery for 100 years afterwards.
Since the War Between the States, the United States went through horrific economic turmoil due to the lack of such cheap labor in which most of the population of the United States suffered. Well, that’s an inference on my part, but, after all, since we are told that America’s economy cannot sustain itself without such servitude labor, if it is true now as the proponents of guest worker programs now say, then it must have been true back then.
So no doubt in those years after the Civil War, there were many Americans, who, like Ted Kennedy today proclaims the future of America is such cheap labor, likeminded Americans at that time also cried out, “Bring back the Africans to do the work that Americans won’t do! The future of America depends on it!”.
Now, wait a minute. Let’s think about it.
Bush agrees, Ted agrees, the liberals, the Democrats, many important and well respected Republican Senators in the United States Senate, all agree to these basic premises – oh, I’m sorry, I mean basic truths.
And, consider that they have won the argument, that the time for arguing is over and that all we need is a compromise to just get this thing moving before our economy collapses, well, perhaps there is a compromise.
Which works like this.
There are all kinds of Americans who “won’t do the work”. For example, in the United States Senate, there are Americans who won’t do the work.
Point One. There are others who are not Senators, but are willing to do the work that Americans won’t do, such as the ones in the United States Senate who won’t do the work.
Point Two. The question of cheap labor, because of the "other work" that Americans won’t do who aren't currently US Senators who won't do the work.
Yes, there are others who will do the work that Americans in the United States Senate won’t do. These others who would do the work in the US Senate, are, frankly, much more educated and, honestly, smarter, than these less than adequate Americans in the Senate. They hold master degrees in engineering, computer science, advanced degrees in business, they are vanguards in medicine and highly qualified doctors, highly educated economists, skilled mathematicians, and not only legal experts of US Law but all International Law, and they have the I.Q. reports to prove they are not just your average American. They come from India.
Americans won’t do the work in the United States Senate. That is obvious. I mean just look at the last couple of weeks. What have they done? Ok, Ted Kennedy attended some rally, and in a half-drunk state he mumbled some bad Spanish to a bunch of foreigners. But that was sort of like a vacation, really.
So why not have foreigners who will do the work that Americans won’t do? We can outsource the United States Senate to India.
In regards to the economic sustainability of America and reliance on migrant labor to avoid total economic collapse - well, the answer is easy.
Before the Civil War days, we had labor brought in from Africa to work the fields, pick cotton for example, and other vital contributions that such industry brought to the benefit of our economic well being. And we know, that just as now we would suffer catastrophic collapse without the contributions of migrant labor today, we suffered catastrophic collapse of our economy when such labor was make illegal then – that is, luckily, until the Mexicans came and saved us by providing cheap labor for without which we cannot survive as a nation.
The Africans were made citizens, and that caused a big problem economically. Until the Mexican foreigners saved us by providing, supplementing, the cheap labor that Africans once provided, which turned everything around. Now, as we hear from our Senators, we cannot survive as a nation without a guest workers program to continue such servitude labor into perpetuity and forever. Because the current 11 million foreign servants and their 11 to 12 million relatives, are going to be made citizens, then what? Who will do the cheap labor, then?
I mean, once they settle in as citizens, and bring in their families, do you think these hard working citizens who currently do the work that Americans won’t do, will still want to do that work into perpetuity?
Of course not. They are now Americans. And like all Americans, they will not want to do the work that Americans won’t do. No, they will want, and demand, those “good computer jobs”. Another sixty million Americans will now be waiting to do those good computer jobs, but the question is to keep the gears of the good American economy turning to sustain those good computer jobs, which can only be done if we have a servitude class of foreigners who will do the work that Americans won’t do. I mean, God forbid if the American economy would take a downturn just a couple years after these new 60 million Americans became legit and were then told, "hey, the computer job is mine, but you can wash my shirt" or something. There would be riots in the street!
So, ipso facto, we need the guest workers program. George Bush and Arlen Specter, John McCain and Ted Kennedy, et all, they are all correct!
But why Mexicans? If it’s all a matter of economics, there are millions of sub-Saharan Africans for example who will, right now, do the work the Mexicans are currently doing, only they will do the work for much less!
And Bangladeshies would do it for even half what the sub-Saharan Africans would do it for!
We only need to do what many other countries are already doing. Only we can do it "Texas Style" - that is BIG! Why just tens of thousands like some other countries do? Why not millions!? We can import millions of cheap laborers from Africa for example. They can do the work that Americans won’t do. They will do such work into perpetuity, forever more or thereabouts. The current plan isn’t much different, only the current plan is that poor Mexicans will be imported under the guest workers program who will do the work Americans won’t do, servitude laborers in the fields with the happy faces of their children about them, and then go home later, and so on.
. . . But why Mexicans?
Think about it. These people, such as sub-Saharan Africans for example, or Haitians perhaps, are a lot poorer than any Mexican, and they really need our help. In fact, we would only be helping them, just like we helped so many others in the past. We can provide them nice compounds to live on, and commuter trains between their “commuter compounds” and their places of employment out in the fields. In fact, the taxpayers probably wouldn’t even have to pay for such commuter villages, the big businesses, agra-interests, and corporations will pay for it all.
And these workers, they will work for HALF the price of any poor Mexican!
And at half the price, why, our economy will not only benefit, it will EXPLODE!
We give the guest workers from Africa clothing, food, a little house even. Everything they need. We can even give them an education, like addition and subtraction which might be important to their labor, and, if the institutions who room and board the servants are privately run of which the majority will be, a Christian upbringing even and teach them all about the Bible!
In compensation for all the gifts such profitable institutions give to these helpless ones, these institutions benefit through the work that the servants provide. The institutions can even pay them. Ten or perhaps even $15 dollars a day or more. And it might quell the fear that many Americans have about outsourcing! Now, the only jobs that will be outsourced will be those that Americans won’t do such as picking cotton. Other jobs such as those good computer jobs, they might still be outsourced, but, think about it – maybe NOT! Because now the new citizens from Mexico, they would do those good computer jobs for way less than any American who is currently doing it! And those good computer jobs will stay right here, right in the United States!
These workers from sub-Saharan Africa, since they will likely even be provided food by their corporate and agra-benefactors, why they can probably send half of their money back to their friends and relatives back home!
And why limit such employment only to private industry? Why, even in Washington D.C., they can use such cheap labor. Perhaps to print money or something. Or perhaps, to do the laundry of those Senators from India.
A long time ago, we had Africans who would do the work that Americans won’t do. But today, most of these Africans, now that they are citizens, they won’t do that work and Africans picking cotton are far and few between. The inconvenience of mechanized agriculture isn’t the answer for America, the answer is cheap, servitude, labor. But now, with the new guest workers program, we again can have Africans do the work that African-Americans won’t do. Or for that matter, nobody would do, African-American or otherwise.
Not even those new citizens from Mexico. All sixty million of them.
George Bush don't care 'bout black people.
Doncha know?
Don't say that too loud...before you know it the loony left will be sending planes to get them 'just to make things fair'
I saw that the New Black Panthers Party had a couple of jenks there at the Dallas "march". The thing is, if anybody knows or knew anything about the "real" Black Panthers of Oakland, CA of the 1960's this "New" party or some of the idiots involved don't even have a clue as to what that scene was all about. And I don't think very many real Panthers who are still alive appreciate the 11 million illegal aliens from Mexico taking jobs in construction of which some African-Americans were at one time doing so well they were starting their own construction company(ies). So many of these are now out of business because of the illegal alien invasion.
OFF SUBJECT: A little off subject, but I still have an old panther poster, the guy sitting on a big rattan-bamboo wicker chain with the big "peacock" back rest, holding a rifle in one hand and a spear in the other. The Panthers sure weren't for gun control, and that's a fact.
We have a half million Haitians in South Florida. Many have AIDS. There is a running beef with their activists who complain racism explains why they can't just come in as Cubans do. The coast guard picks them up, but if they get in, there is no interior enforcement. They are backward and seem angry about a high tech way of life. Sometimes, I think we would be smart to put as much effort into Haiti as we have in Iraq, but it would be a lot harder.
A Discovery-Times special on The Discovery Channel a few weeks ago showed Chinese people working 7 days per week, 12 hours per day as indentured factory servants for 10 to 20 cents per hour. To heck with Mexico. The U.S. should have little problem convincing China to let half a billion people free flow into the U.S. with no background check or educational requirement, a guarantee of five times their normal wage, and all the free services they want. Hey, it makes about as much sense as letting illegal aliens pour in by the millions now, all the while not paying their fair taxes and completely overwhelming the medical, social, judicial, and school systems at little or no cost to themselves.
No, but now that I think about it, why not 11 million guest workers from India? Even though India is has many poor who are willing to do the work of the same vein as illegals from Mexico are doing now, the Indians from India are surprisingly well educated, even the poor who have a better education in India in basic math and science than the illegal alien from Mexico, the average education level of the illegals from Mexico is a sixth grade education.
And the difference is, those from India speak English. English is as common a language as native Hindi or Punjabi and such. Some Americans may not be aware, but English is a common language in India, in fact they speak the King's English and many speak better English and are better in English grammar than many Americans.
So, there you go. 11 million Indians in place of the 11 million illegal Mexicans. And the Indians who come for such a guest worker program will do the work better than the Mexicans and do it cheaper not only by wages, but because they will do it smarter and more efficiently the profits of the benefactors will be greater (thus "cheaper").
I mean if we are going to reinstate a modern form of "Southern slavery" in the guise of guest worker program(s) because we are told our economy will collapse if we do not have servitude labor in this country, then why not use some of the best guest workers such as those from India? Example, the Fiji Islands, or other countries which in modern times used labor from India to chuck sugar cane when they found that the Indians did better work and were more socially cooperative than African "slaves".
In fact, why even call it a "guest worker program" at all?
Let's just call it "voluntary slavery program", and get real about it? The message of the Senate, and leadership of America is, our nation and our economy cannot stand without slavery, voluntary slavery or otherwise.
Welcome to the new America. Will we soon all get to have plantaions and, domestic servants, and stuff? Oh, those "good ol' days" that will be coming for us all! - sitting under the ol' Sycamore tree, sipping lemonaide and watchin' the "guests" working out in the fields and happy for ol massa who is lovingly watching over them!
