Mexamerica, Here We Come

Mexamerica, here we come

Have Americans, one wonders, fully reflected on what the Bush amnesty portends for the country their children will grow up in?

Consider what Bush is saying with this amnesty for 8 million to 12 million illegal aliens and his "guest workers" program to allow employers to go overseas and hire people anywhere in the world for jobs Americans will not, or cannot take at the wages offered.

He is saying: I cannot defend our border. I will not enforce the laws. I will not send illegal aliens back. And as I cannot stop this invasion of the United States, I intend to legalize it.

Bush is not only rewarding millions of law-breakers and gate-crashers, he is erasing the border with Mexico. Mexamerica is our future. The United States is going to become a giant Brazil. Bush is saying there is no way to stop it – therefore, we must embrace it.

Ethnically and racially, this means an America that is no longer a First World country. Third World people of color will be the majority in two decades. Americans whose forefathers came from Europe, 90 percent of the population in 1960, will be a shrinking minority by 2040. For not only are the birth rates of white Americans lower than those of immigrants, the new immigrants will be from the Third World.

Economically, Bush is throwing American workers – white, black, Asian, Hispanic – into a Darwinian survival-of-the-fittest struggle for jobs with foreigners willing to do sweat-shop labor for wages that cannot sustain an American family.

Winners will be the economic elites who will benefit from low prices produced by cheap labor and from having a vast proletariat to do the chores at their homes, country clubs, ski lodges, restaurants, parking garages, vacation spas and yacht basins.

Losers will be American workers who have to compete for jobs with folks for whom $5.15 an hour is pay undreamed of back home in the Caribbean, Nigeria or Mexico.

Politically, our welfare state will explode. The Bush plan will convert America from the middle-class country we grew up in into a nation with a huge proletariat with a rising claim on our tax dollars for more schools, courts, cops, hospitals, parks, roads and prisons.

If you would know America's future, look at California. In the 1990s, for the first time since the Spanish arrived, California saw an out-migration of native-born Americans, white and black, along with a huge influx of immigrants, legal and illegal.

We are endlessly reminded how wonderful the new America will be as she becomes more diverse. Californians, who already live in that new America, apparently don't think so. Every chance they get, they vote to chop welfare and deny drivers licenses to illegal aliens. Now, they are deserting the new California beloved of our elites. If assimilation is working, why are Californians voting with their feet and fleeing to Nevada, Colorado, Arizona and Idaho?

"Who cares where people come from?" comes the retort. "The Melting Pot will make them all Americans, as it did the 18 million who came from Eastern and Southern Europe from 1890 to 1920."

But those were European peoples coming to a country run by descendants of Europeans. They came to a land that enforced assimilation in its schools. They learned and were taught in the same language, read the same books and magazines, went to the same movies, listened to the same radio, went through the Great Depression together and served in the same Army in World War II.

And after the great wave ended in 1920, we had 45 years of low immigration to assimilate and Americanize the children of the immigrants who had come here.

But America's population has doubled since 1945. Instead of the 16 million people of color we had in 1960 – almost all of whom were black Americans immersed for centuries in American culture – there are 80 million people of color here now, from 100 nations.

Instead of assimilation, we live in an age of racial and ethnic resentments and entitlements, where "multiculturalism" is in vogue and it is "racist" to demand immigrants learn the English language.

But if we no longer worship the same God, honor the same heroes, speak the same language, study the same history, love the same literature or even agree about what is right and wrong, how do we remain one nation and one people?

What do we have in common anymore? If Bush's ally-ally-in-free immigration policy is embraced, the old America we knew will be nothing more than a global hiring hall and what Teddy Roosevelt called a "polyglot boarding house for the world."

And if it doesn't work, there is no going back. It is the end of the America we all loved. Why is President Bush taking this risk with our country?

"Buchanan has been warning about what is becoming a reality for years."

Buchanan and that damned Birch Society are frightening with their correct forecasts!

I want to hide from all this ugly stuff that's going on. Protect me while I sit home and watch TV.

I've never voted for Pat in the past but as a protest I may just write in Pat's name. If Dean becomes president he's a one termer. If the congress stays republican nothing gets done for 4 years. It would serve Bush right.

There is really only one way out for Bush. Drop the job bank. Make Mexico a state (split it into 2 or 3 territories first). Now we can start enforcing the immigration laws. We also should start enforcing the zoning laws to limit the number of people sharing a house or apartment. There is no reason why slum lords and businesses should benefit by putting neihborhoods into third world status.

I agree with the complete elimination of every kind of welfare programs for non-citizens. For one many of the legal immigrants now are the elderly relatives being sponsored but will become taxpayer burdens. Replace those with immigrants who can work for their own living by ending fraud in the immigrant sponsor program ---- if the sponsor doesn't pay for their immigrant then put a lien on their home, or send their immigrant back. Every program --- WIC, food stamps, Medicaid, housing needs to be ended for non-citizens.

The problem with the 3 years --- most of the illegals are in agriculture which is seasonal. Why stay three years when your job lasts 3 months? The card allows them to go back and forth over the border as they wish, who supports them when they are off-season? Many of these people work hard but only until the work is done and then they're idle ---- we have them here where they make $5,000 a year --- they work when the chilis need to be picked but after that it's welfare. Instead of a three year card --- just bring in the guest workers (if we really need any --- I'm not sure) for the season or the project. The non-working family members stay home, the guest worker is bused or flown up to the farm that will provide them housing and living costs. When the seaon is over they would be bused or flown back home. Then they can invest their money and build up their own country.

That's how they do it in Mexico --- but you forgot --- the iron bars on every door and window, high fences covered with barbed wire and cut glass on top of the fence, and bodyguards. The rich in Mexico all have bodyguards now --- and kidnapping insurance. Before we decide that's the lifestyle we want, we should all spend some time in the colonias in Mexico City.

"The first step is to identify those illegal immigrants who just want to make some money and go back home."

You want to identify the illegal aliens who are already here. The ones who ignored our immigration laws.

Okay, what about the people who have remained in their own country and are attempting to follow our laws for legal entry. Should these people be pushed aside in favor of the criminals? That is what the Presidents plan does!

We have illegals already working here. These criminals have taken the position away from the ones who wish to immigrate to America legally. Why do you want to reward them?

Identify them and offer some monetary incentive for them to return to their country of origin at the end of some period, say three years.

How long do you think it is going to take before someone in Washington understands that "I " have been working in America for three years. I have a much nicer apartment than "I" would ever get in my home country. "I" want to bring my family to America because of the medical care, the schooling, the individual safety here, the food and water quality, the availability of just about anything I want to buy, etc., etc. Oh, yes, originally "I" was wanting to make some cash and go home but I have realized that America iss the better place to raise a family. Now "I" have decided "I" to stay here.

Instead of taking ten years to deport a criminal, it should take only a few months.

Try something like 72 hours MAXIMUM!

QUIT BEING SO DAMNED COMPASSIONATE TO THESE CRIMINALS.

Step three is to eliminate welfare benefits for illegal immigrants.

All it would take is to declare it to be a national security issue by Tom Ridge or the President and bang, it's done!

Step four involves the sensitive question of “anchor babies.” If a person is born in the U.S., they are an American citizen regardless of whom or what their parents are. Although I don’t think we can or should change the constitution on this issue, how much of an “anchor” the baby is can be changed by immigration policy.

Do you have any idea what the term "anchor baby" implies? I was born here, now I want my brothers and sister with my parents to be with me IN AMERICA!

"anchor baby" is something that needs to be abolished immediately.

Mexican women in Brownsville, Texas come by ambulance to have their babies delivered in the US on the word of a Mexican doctor who says the delivery is "life threatening". Every birth can be life threatening".

Buchanan tried to warn us about this, but few would listen. No one would ever believe that an American President would try to shove this down America's throat. Bush is bending over to Mexico.

Now we have to depend on Congress to throw it out. I hope Tancredo has enough support behind him.

www.numbersusa.com is a good way to contact all the "leaders" with free faxes and let them know what we think about this stinking proposal.

Gov of Colorado

I think it was the former govenor of Colorado Owens.

Governor Owens sounded like he'd been drinking alot of that "koolaid" saying what a great proposal GWB has laid out. He was so pathic that even Scarbough jumped his case.

No, Bill Owens is still the Republican governor of CO and hailed as the best of all governors by the columnist George F. Will.

As a youth, Owens worked for the popular future House Speaker "Fortworthless" Jim Wright, D-TX.
