And how long will it be 'cheap labor' if the left has anything to say about it, and mark my words they will? The 'cheap labor' will be just another cudgel in the hands of the left to create more agitation in this country.
The only "special relationship" that exists between the U.S. and that third-world dump to the south is similar to the relationship a fat malignant tumor has with whatever it's attached to.
Heck no, I am talking about the "old-time" immigrants that came here 20 or more years ago. I don't know the stats but I would be surprised if more than 10% were here legally. I don't count the "got-legal-after-amnesty" folks as being here legally.
And I completely agree about the rest of your post. Even in Lancaster County, PA we are being overrun. There are parts of Lancaster city that look as bad as anything you will see in the Third World.
If you do not agree with what Bush is doing on the immigration problem, make a note to yourself!
Tomorrow morning send off an e-mail or phone call to your state and national Republican committee and tell them if Bush does not lose his love affair with Mexico and start putting America and Americans first (not just business interests) that you will leave the Republican Party!
If he gets enough flak from his own party he may start listening to them and dump Karl Rove.
Remember! It's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease!
1) They have 'run the numbers' and looked at past RINO sellouts, and believe that in taking up the mantle of gradual regularization and legitimization of illegal aliens, they will gain access to Hispanic votes in 2004 and be assured of reelection;
and
2), they have concluded they would take a short term 'hit' from this from GOP conservatives in forums and on talk shows and at the grassroots and in Congress, but that after time all would settle down and the peristalsyic prospect of "President Hillary" or "President Gore" with no true conservative third party vote would be enough to keep them also in the 2004 column.
So they have taken the risk.
This is Karl Rove and others thinking and Bush carrying it out with full knowledge and forethought. Don't let anyone tell you that this is not happening. The real victim is the Republican who supported Bush and wants to support him again. It is very sad, pathetic and irritating to, as an American who believes in the rule of law and national security, be essentially taken for granted and treated in this rather shoddy way.
Libertarian Party Platform - IMMIGRATION
|
IMMIGRATIONWe hold that human rights should not be denied or abridged on the basis of nationality. We condemn massive roundups of Hispanic Americans and others by the federal government in its hunt for individuals not possessing required government documents. We strongly oppose all measures that punish employers who hire undocumented workers. Such measures repress free enterprise, harass workers, and systematically discourage employers from hiring Hispanics.We welcome all refugees to our country and condemn the efforts of U.S. officials to create a new "Berlin Wall" which would keep them captive. We condemn the U.S. government's policy of barring those refugees from our country and preventing Americans from assisting their passage to help them escape tyranny or improve their economic prospects. Undocumented non-citizens should not be denied the fundamental freedom to labor and to move about unmolested. Furthermore, immigration must not be restricted for reasons of race, religion, political creed, age, or sexual preference. We therefore call for the elimination of all restrictions on immigration, the abolition of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Border Patrol, and a declaration of full amnesty for all people who have entered the country illegally. We oppose government welfare and resettlement payments to non-citizens just as we oppose government welfare payments to all other persons.

"Our" government treats us like shit. When we are innocently caught up in IRS snafus - like my elderly native-born American mother was - it threatens us with criminal prosecution for "back taxes" it later admitted she never owed.
No wonder Jorge Bush is almost as widely disrespected among social conservatives as among liberals.
IMMIGRATION resource library: public-health facts, court decisions, local INS numbers!
Congress is hearing from the public, and our president is urging Congress to hurry and pass 245i though the public is outraged.
What is the real reason for passage of 245i when the public is clearly against it? Why would our elected officials run against the will of the people on an issue like this?
With the passage of 245i, and if Bush gets all that he wants, he promises the free flow of goods and serivces, and people. Do we really want the free flow of people over our borders?
Yes, I can see that. Good point.
