"Imagine theirs no countries.... And no religion, too..."
This part, at least, seems like an ok idea. If there's fruit to be picked and drywall to be hung, let 'um come on over and earn a check. The amnesty thing, on the other hand....
Mark my words -- the AWB will be presented to Congress as part of an "anti-terrrorism" package. And who will want to be seen as "soft on terrorism?" Very few, most likely. It'll pass, and the Prez will sign it (as he always does ......ZERO vetoes so far for this CIC).
Not knowing how old you are I ask when you were younger, say fifteen years ago, did you ever see a Mexican hanging drywall who wasn't an American citizen. The ones I knew spoke perfect English, removed their hardhats when a funeral procession went by and would stomp your butt in the ground if you didn't stand with no talking as the American flag went by in a parade.
These are the Mexicans I want in America. Not this slimely bunch Bush is welcoming with open arms!
I have no idea how old you are but look back about twenty years and tell me if you knew very many drywall hangers who were Mexicans. The ones I knew took their hardhats off when a funeral procession went by. They stood tall when the American flag went by during parades and would stomp your butt into the ground if you tried talking during those moments. Every one of them spoke perfect English and ridiculed foreigners who couldn't.
Does defeat come easy to you? Looking at your profile page I am presuming not, why are you accepting defeat now? Because it was a Republican Presidents idea?
We didn't gain our rights by laying down our weapons, did we? How about continuing to fight for your grandkids rights, they'll appreciate it more than ypou'll ever know.
We are suicidal if we continue to turn over our liberty, power and advancement to an elitist club of global political and financial powerbrokers as we have been doing, particularly since the early '90s.
They are watching out for us. It's classic economics.
Look to David Ricardo to 'splain it all. Globalization: It really is "for the consumers." So says Hillary Classic Economist. Globalization gives us both "value" and "riches."
You see, when the 150,000 dollar-a-year skilled American professional loses his job to a 5,000 dollar-a-year skilled professional "over there" he gains by enjoying lower consumer prices. So that thingy that used to cost $100 now cost $5 while the American's new job(s) would garner $15,000 a year (jobs is jobs), for example; a whopping 10-to-1 advantage over 20-to-1. Get it? And everyone would enjoy the $5 price! "It's for the consumers."
Now, of course, "over there" has new wealth given our purchases from them and they invest here -- that spurs the economy here (good) and drives up wages (bad). Enter the lowly "undocumented" worker to fight wage inflation (good). The economy is saved.
One additional advange for all to globalization is expressed by an economist. "Above all, every branch of science, technology, invention, and business innovation would be pursued by a far larger number of highly intelligent and motivated individuals than is now the case. The result must be far more rapid economic progress across the entire globe, raising the living standards of all far above the living standards of today's most advanced countries."
Hmmm. If they are so damn smart where have they been for the past hundreds of years? Just asking. No offense.
Those people are already here, all 12 million of them. It would take all the power of the government to send them back, but our government is doing the opposite. It's opening the floodgates as wide as possible. This war is lost. You might as well try to fight the Civil War all over again, for all the good it'll do you.
A policeman in a car costs the average city about $200 an hour. If we could get illegal aliens to turn each other in attempting to become wealthy, we would save billions in law enforcement, welfare programs and schools.
Just announce that we will be dividing the country up into various sized quadrants depending on population per square mile.
3 Any employer who has employed an illegal alien five months from XX/XX/XXXX will be fined $5000 per employee. One month later enforcement begins. This will give employers 5 months to shed the illegals and hire legally papered actual citizens.
Then on the announced date start in a state such as Oklahoma. Well centered, not overly populated and clean the state out. This would give Homeland, INS and Border Patrol time to install their agents in various court houses around the country to verify a persons paperwork, ie. birth certificates, hospital records, etc.
The result would be every foreign national who is not in America legally would forfeit their belongings and be shipped out within 24 hours.
Go state to state from the epicenter sweeping out the criminals who have successfully avoided suspicion. They already had 5 months to get out, hanging around to test the system carries a SEVERE penalty.
Imagine the number of Chinese who would be taking the ship home with everything in the house, new cars, you name it would be on those ships.
This would apply to every country in the world, not just Mexico.
How many schools could be closed? How many hospitals and state paid housing tracts?
Oh yes, it would be an economic shocker in the amount of taxes that could be reduced or used to qctually improve something necessary for American citizens, instead of illegal foreignors.
Want an approximate number of the population drop? Try 50 million with the majority over 30.
Even if such laws where passed the courts would strike them down. Heck, they can't even cut off welfare for illegal immigrants. Remember what happened to Prop. 187?
Our nation has decided and it doesn't matter if you or me don't like it. It's done. Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me that somehow President Bush is going to change his mind and order all the illegal aliens out of the country. It's not going to happen. Are you aware that a lot of his relatives are Mexicans? He doesn't see them as invaders. He sees them as decent people just trying to make a living, and he's on their side. So are the Democrats, so who's going to do all that stuff that you suggested? Nobody, that's who.
