My letters to my Senators and the President regarding immigration legislation

In order to have the same impact on the current U.S. population as the Ellis Island immigration did, your current immigration number would have to be almost 18 million.

By any unbiased estimate, we have surpassed 20 million illegals. Of course if amnesty passes, the number will soar to 30 plus million due to fraud.

"Flies won't hang around a closed garbage can and illegal aliens won't hang around a country that stops throwing illegal jobs and legal welfare benefits at them."

Tell me the name of one politician who will be willing to stand up and say, "No more free education in any public school for illegal alien children."

How do the majority of voters in your Congressional Distric feel about that issue?

If they are sick of paying taxes to enable illegal activity, that Congressman could be.............you.

For any problem in life, you have to identify the root cause and then deal with it.

Illegal aliens flock to the U.S. because of the Willy Sutton Rule: "That's where the money is."

Businesses hire illegal aliens because of the Willy Sutton Rule: "That's where the money is."

Congressmen look the other way regarding illegal aliens when American business donors ask them to because of the Willy Sutton Rule: "That's where the money is."

Follow the money!

Unless you deal with the Willy Sutton Rule, 50 foot high fences on the border won't stop the flood of illegals into the U.S.

We need to:

1. Identify and provide for the LEGITIMATE low-cost and low-skill labor needs of American business. IMHO, the Guest Worker Visa Program is the way to do this.

2. Once the Guest Worker Visa Program provides for those legitimate needs, hammer the employers that employ foreign workers without Guest Worker Visas. Every time that a raid discovers an illegal foreign worker without a Guest Worker Visa, the employer gets slammed with a $10,000.00 fine for each violation. Rinse and repeat as often as necessary.

If our Congress and President grant amnesty to millions of invaders, I will be in line to demand reparations, they will have given my country away without my consent.

I'll put my question in more direct terms: how much longer do you think English will be our primary language? At my estimate, it'll be less than 50 years at this rate.

Or do you care? I doubt that you do. Spanish would be just fine for you.

[John Filson]

How do the majority of voters in your Congressional Distric feel about that issue?

Issue being public education for illegal children. It's a good question. The more Hispanics we have, the less concern we'll see for these kinds of issues. We're already dangerously close to the moment when demographics will dictate the outcome of democratic decision-making.

By the numbers, the day will come soon when the majority of Americans prefer to be described as Hispanic. Restrictions on immigration from poverty-stricken and lawless Latin-American countries will be much harder to pass through Congress then.

[Serenissima Venezia]

I keep sending requests for money back,no money until we have control of our borders.

Same here. I've heard many othere here say the same thing. The question is: why aren't they listening?

[raybbr]

In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster

Some food for thought.

[John Filson]

I'm apparently in complete agreement with Auster. Who forced their king to sign the damned Magna Carta? The very modern notion of freedom with responsibility to the law was recognized by the English Enlightenment. Rule of law and notions of freedom coming from the Creator and not the king, country, or Church are distinctly missing from Latin cultures. Moreover, many Latin immigrants are trained to be anti-gun by their oppressive leaders. We're being invaded by a culture far different from ours, far more subservient. How long before it makes us more democratically subservient?

[B4Ranch]

The balance of authority changed when the feds started deciding how much money states would get from taxes and our Senators moved to DC. That's when governors became puppets to the presidents wishes.

[McGavin999]

Good letter Jeff, and I agree that until the borders are secured, there should be no guest worker portion. Do the first, and the second can come later.

I think the recent protests showed everyone just how many illegals are here in the country (and believe me, not all of them showed up for the protests).

With millions swarming in the streets, it made the US look like a third world country.

[B4Ranch]

2. Once the Guest Worker Visa Program provides for those legitimate needs, hammer the employers that employ foreign workers without Guest Worker Visas. Every time that a raid discovers an illegal foreign worker without a Guest Worker Visa, the employer gets slammed with a $10,000.00 fine for each violation. Rinse and repeat as often as necessary.

If we had to trust Bush, #2 would never happen. We would have a Guest Worker Visa Program for 50 million Mexicans and then they would talk for ten years about slowing the program.

When do you think the tipping point will come when it will no longer be "Anglo-Saxon?" .......John Filson

1903.... I hate to be the one to break your delusions of Anglo-Saxon ethnic purity but you are 100 years behind the times. America ceased being predominantly "Anglo-Saxon" quite a while ago...... In 1900, only 51 percent of the U. S. population was native white and of native parentage (Palen, 1987, p. 210)......Polybius

I'll put my question in more direct terms: how much longer do you think English will be our primary language? At my estimate, it'll be less than 50 years at this rate. Or do you care? I doubt that you do. Spanish would be just fine for you.........John Filson

So, now you are off your "Anglo-Saxon" ethnic purity kick.

Are you one of those people with grandparents named Kowalski, O'Reilly, Olsen and Schmidt that fancy themselves to be "Anglo-Saxon", even though they do not have a single drop of "Anglo-Saxon" blood running through their veins, because English is the only language they ever learned?

Did you only now discover that the "Anglo-Saxon" population tipping point in America occurred a century ago and that your great-grandparents were not considered part of the "Anglo-Saxon" ethnic purity club back in 1903?

As far as English is concerned, English will remain the lingua franca of the U.S. and is already the lingua franca in Europe as well as in international trade.

The language pattern for immigrants is always the same.

The immigrant parents are non-English-speakers or bilingual and the second generation is bilingual. America's Ace of Aces of World War One, Eddie Rickenbacker, wrote in his autobiography that his parents spoke German at home as that was the only language they knew and that he used to have to fight his way to and from school each day because he spoke English with a very heavy German accent.

By, at most, the third generation, the immigrant language is almost always lost.

For example, as late as the 1940's, Yiddish thrived in New York City with Yiddish newspapers, Yiddish radio and Yiddish theater.

Fifty year later in New York City, Yiddish is a dead language.

[John Filson]

This will be my last reply to you, because you still refuse to look at the massive demographic differences between those earlier waves of immigration and this one. Nobody knows how it'll turn out. It could send us to hell. California is already on its way. It's just as bad as people think and worse. Mexican flags are everywhere. Anti-Anglo sentiment is stronger and stronger. This is what you're advocating, because more of that will come as the demographics continue to hurtle in the direction they are now.

[Minuteman23]

Thanks for the ping, Jeff. Your opinion is held by many, myself included. But our representation in Washington no longer represents the will of the people. That, more than anything else, is what's taking us down.

Great letters.

[Polybius]

By the numbers, the day will come soon when the majority of Americans prefer to be described as Hispanic.

Get a grip on reality.

In 2004, the percentage of the U.S. population that was so-called "Hispanic or Latino" was..............Gasp!!.......Shudder!!.............14.1%

Population of the United States by Race and Hispanic/Latino Origin, Census 2000 and July 1, 2004

Second and third generation "Hispanics" also have a very high intermarriage rate:

Are my blonde, blue-eyed, half-genetically Spanish, quarter-genetically Polish and quarter-genetically Danish kids a threat to your vision of "Anglo-Saxon" purity in America?

[Polybius]

This will be my last reply to you, because you still refuse to look at the massive demographic differences between those earlier waves of immigration and this one.

You do not own your own business or work with numbers, do you?

"Demographic differences" are not determined by absolute numbers. They are determined by the number as it relates to the TOTAL POPULATION!

As I documented before in Post 79:

"In 1890, the U.S. population was a little over 62 million. 3.7 million immigrants in the 1890's represented 6% of the entire U.S. population. 3.8 million in 2006 represents a little over 1% of the U.S. population."

In addition, as I documented in Post 96, by the third generation, most "Hispanics" are intermarrying themselves out of existence as an ethnic group since third generation Hispanics have a 60% intermarriage rate.

Mexican flags are everywhere. Anti-Anglo sentiment is stronger and stronger. This is what you're advocating, ....

Wrong!

Read over my posts that deal strictly with the immigration issues and not your xenophobia and you will see that I have provided practical measures to cut off illegal immigration at the knees.

As I wrote before:

"I have posted several times outlining specific measures to deal with and drastically reduce illegal immigration. I object to illegal immigrants because they are illegal and I also object to many legal immigrants and some native born Americans because they do not have a love for America."

My beef with you is not that I approve of illegal immigration. My posts prove that I advocate a tougher stand against illegal immigration than most posters on this thread believe is politically possible.

My beef with you is that you base your entire case on the fact that, apparently, you can't stand Hispanics in general and Mexicans in particular and have based your case on preserving an "Anglo-Saxon" tipping point that was tipped 100 years ago.

If your definition of "Anglo-Saxon" is simply English-speaking, then my family has been "Anglo-Saxon" since the 1860's and, by the third generation, all immigrant groups lose their immigrant language and......Poof.....become "Anglo".

I would gladly have one million of these immigrant so-called "Hispanics" as Americans:

U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales

Rather than of one million of these native-born so-called "Anglos" as Americans:

2. Once the Guest Worker Visa Program provides for those legitimate needs, hammer the employers that employ foreign workers without Guest Worker Visas.

I do not trust any politicians, Republican or Democrat, as far as I can throw them.

What I am trying to do is identify the root cause of the problem and attack it.

Right now, the illegal aliens have Big Business and the Congressmen that Big Business buys on their side.

We need to change that dynamic.

[Rockitz]

I get the impression the president and congress are planning an end run by increasing the amount of legal immigration allowed into this country. I personally don't believe we need it and will oppose that as well.
