Rounding up all illegals 'not realistic'
The Washington Times ^ | September 10, 2004 | Jerry Seper

Posted on 09/10/2004 5:00:30 AM PDT by MikeJ75

The nation's border czar yesterday said it is "not realistic" to think that law-enforcement authorities can arrest or deport the millions of illegal aliens now in the United States and does not think the American public has the "will ... to uproot" those aliens.

How do you know till you try?

Any way, it would take a mighty horrific incident to do it,
not that the Islamic hysterics aren't planning on just the
thing.

Well stated. You are exactly right.

There are many inexpensive ways of getting rid of the illegal aliens.

Getting rid of illegal aliens has nothing to do with racism or any other ism. It is to protect this country. I know of several naturalized citizens and legal immigrants who all agree that immigration laws need to be enforced, that the preent situation poses grave dangers to this country.

A major function of the Federal Government is to protect our borders. This is the first step in fight against terrorists. The biggest danger to this country comes from within.

Asa is an a-hole. He can't show his face in California any more since an auditorium full of Americans told him what a jerk he was when he appeared with Rep. Issa in San Diego County. He got his butt handed to him on the John & Ken Radio show in LA on this issue.

The government has no need to deport the aliens. This is just a smoke screen. All they have to do is what is called the Slow Squeeze. Simply cut out the job opportunities and the illegals will leave of their own volition over time. They are here for one reason - jobs. If the Feds would only enforce the laws against employers hiring illegals, employers would stop and the illegals would have no jobs and leave.

We are not talking about gardening and house cleaning jobs. These illegals have gotten employment with major industries: construction, drywall, painting, meat processing, etc. They have taken legal resident's jobs for lower pay. JUST TAKE AWAY THE JOBS!

Right off the bat Asa Hutchinson focuses on the most expensive, least effective and Constitutionally challengable strategy of proactive collection, incarceration and forced deportation. he knows fully well that this country can't take the financial hit all that would require. Saying we don't have the will to see it done, though, just shows how long his own butt has been safely housed in gated communities.

Throughout his interview with the Washington Times editors Hutchinson continually tried to reshape his staggering duties to fit a lowest common denominator of expectations - as if we are somehow at fault for wanting him to do more than cry about it. If he applied half as much energy toward his assignment as he does constructing excuses and appeasing more powerful political entities I dare say we'd have seen some measure of progress by now.

Continuing his theme of calling us gutless, Hutchinson tried to defeat the CLEAR Act singlehandedly by dismissing that bill's intent to clear the way so average LEOs can assist with interior enforcement. Wringing his hands over the anchor babies merely reminds us that the Section 1 of the 14th Amendment needs a proviso stating that persons born here are citizens only if one of their parents is a legally documentable citizen. Poof; there goes the anchor baby incentive.

He said there is widespread disagreement within the country on what to do about immigration enforcement and on how to handle the millions of illegal aliens, mostly Mexican nationals, in the United States.

One more time: Start prosecuting employers and watch as the resulting self-deportation exodus solves the problem without burdening the courts or the taxpayers. The leftist liberals and alien advocates would be rendered powerless and mute with rage (*snicker,chortle*) because the targets would be overwhelmingly white, well-off males subject to a 1965 law made much stricter in 1986. Laws their illegal-loving icon Ted Kennedy personally pushed through Congress, no less.

"It doesn't mean we build an Israel-type of fence. I don't think we're going to do that. I don't think you want to have a strategy of a Border Patrol agent every 50 yards," he said. "There's a lot of compassion out there. You don't send out a paddy wagon to round them up."

Not an Israeli type fence, but a better barrier than what's now in place utilizing present and upcoming technology. A new type of microwave transmitter being readied for the armed services creates a non-fatal "field of discomfort" that humans can't tolerate without shielding. They can be projected where needed by automated surveilance systems. People who say it can't be done are either ignorant or peddling an agenda, because it can and must be done.

But Mr. Hutchinson said although there is "strong support" nationwide for the enforcement of immigration laws and the public expects it to be accomplished, "they expect us to do it in a way consistent with our values."

Our basic values are reflected in the laws of the United States. Anyone who believes otherwise should leave immediately.

"Immigration has provided vitality to the growth of the country. We ought to recognize that, and that's an important principle in the development of our immigration policy."

Another basic fact twisted. Only legal immigration by vetted and worthy people helps our country. Hutchinson can not mealy mouth his way around his duty to enforce the law.

"We have to be able to assimilate or integrate immigrants into our society where they can become Americans. That is what America historically has done very well, and we don't want to lose that capacity," he said.

That capacity is lost due to the overwhelming numbers invading from one "culture" contrary to ours, at a time when the tyranny of "political correctness" encourages divisiveness.

Mr. Hutchinson said President Bush's proposal...was an attempt by the administration...to "bring 8 million aliens out of the shadow and give them legal status."

More like 12 to 20 million at this late point, quickly approaching the 10% mark. Roughly 20% of California's population are illegal aliens, and we can see how much that has contributed to the Golden State. Their plight (and the total lack of enforcement of the measures enacted during the 1986 amnesty) are all I need to know why Bush's plan shouldn't be considered.

Others said it was unpractical and could become a scheme to identify illegal aliens and deport them.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Last month, Mr. Hutchinson outlined a number of incentives to encourage aliens to support the plan, including provisions freeing them from arrest and deportation, giving them access to tax-deferred savings accounts and Social Security credits and allowing them unrestricted travel to and from their home countries.

Wrong again - the only incentive aliens need are ones to leave. Everything else is a magnet that escalates the problem.

Hutchinson said the incentives were designed to encourage the aliens to return to their home countries eventually...

Eventually? 1986's "Reform" Act had factual requirements that Kennedy spent years pulling the teeth from.

Hutchinson needs to do his job or step aside for someone who will. A retired general would be my first choice - they think in terms of HOW, not WHY NOT.

I immigrated to America and so did my wife and one of my my sons. We did it the hard way -- and legally.

Although not at all a dawk -- and quite aware there are scores and probably hundreds of thousands of very bad apples indeed among the criminal alien invader millions -- I have hardly met a single criminal alien of whom I could not make a friend.

That and my every other 'feeling' on the subject notwithstanding, however, I believe we have no choice if we are to save our Republic other than to impartially and dispassionately round up every criminal alien and his every criminally-born anchor baby and send every last one back whence he came.

An anchor baby may stay only if he has a legal resident guardian and/or may return when or if he attains his majority.

The others -- every last one of them -- shall be banned from reapplying for admission for not less than ten years.

Asa Hutchinson is a fraud when it comes to this issue. Someone ask Asa Hutchinson how many employers have been fined, prosecuted, jailed for employing illegal aliens. We all know hundreds of thousand of employers are cheating American's out of jobs in an effort to increase their profits on the backs of tax payers. I'd bet none, or very few of these criminal employers have been prosecuted.

Let's see.....

We can't round up all the drug dealers.... so according to this logic, we can't round up any.

We can't round up all the guns..... so therefore end all gun control laws.

We can't stop or solve all murders, so why try to solve any at all?

Some people will drive recklessly and speed --- so end enforcement of all traffic laws.

So here is what this guy just did: he invited 40 million people in Mexico to walk out their front doors and head to the U.S., because he has announced that the U.S. has no intention and no will to enforce its laws, the laws of its people, not Asa Hutchinson's laws, not G.W. Bush's laws, but the laws of the people of the United States, i.e., the citizens.

The guy basically screamed "invade us! we won't do a thing!".

If people think they haven't heard, they'd be wrong.
