• Amnesty will not stop illegal immigration.
• Yet, amnesties and illegal immigration with both continue into the foreseeable future.
• But, illegal immigrants will not be deported — won't happen.
• And a two language nation (like Canada) may very well evolve here.
• Meanwhile, the growing illegal population grows the underground economy.
• And the underground economy is a drain on the national economy.
• A massive subculture is the last thing we need.
• Presently, most illegals live in poverty.
• And people living in poverty are a big Democrat constituancy.
• Illegals, by definition, are fugitives.
• And more and more fugitives will cause more and more problems.
• Therefore, they will be legalized (via amnesty) and they will become voters.
• They will also become tax payers and many will feel the same way about taxes as you and I do.
• Both Bush, and now Gephardt, are "correct" — because it's going to happen.
• The longer it takes, the better the Democrats like it and the more they benefit.
• Which is unfortunate because many Hispanics are not averse to Republican ideals.
• Wishful thinking is a real bummer.
• How many potential voters are we talking about?
• No party can afford to concede that many votes.
• How are we going to deal with this new reality to the benefit of America?
American private enterprises – entire industries, mind you – actually lobby Congress for the right to hire these "illegals" without changing (legalizing) their status. These enterprises will be in for a rude surprise when they discover that the employee who harasses, discriminates, or doesn’t wash his hands, can make them liable for millions of dollars in a class–action suit, while he immediately becomes eligible for all the rights accorded to an American citizen in his defense – and legal aid societies, unions, and professional race-advocates suddenly emerge from the woodwork.
THIS could be the key to stopping this invasion. Use our legal system to make it unprofitable to keep illegals on the payroll. We have millions of lawyers in this country--isn't it safe to say that we have enough Conservative lawyers around to make life very dificult for these illegals?
The hysterical Leftist attacks on physical anthropology and ethnologists have masked the fact that there is an enormous correlation between culture and ancestry. The reality is that a people's culture reflects the people who created that culture. Human society is not a game of musical chairs; where the chairs determine the characteristics of their occupants.
I do not join those who disparage the character of the typical Mexican. He, as we, has his good points and his bad points. But he, as we, reflects the genetic makeup of his family. That plays a major role in steering his cultural development. Conservatives need to stop being afraid of understanding that a nation is about kith and kin; hereditary lines of descent. Call it race, nation, tribe, or whatever. The terminology is not as important as understanding the concept.
All of Socialism--including the Nazi version, which the Left has tried to picture as an evil based upon a "Master Race" theory--is in fact based upon the idea that man is more plastic than any of the actual evidence would suggest. If man is not plastic, how can Socialist Government, whether Communist, Nazi, Social Democratic or Fabian, improve man by dominating his life, and macro and micro managing his social environment? This idea that man is plastic is the single most important Socialist premise--however they may define it verbally.
But to dispel the idea, you need look no further than the very subject at hand--the Mexican culture and the effect of its infusion into the United States--to illustrate the point. We lump Mexicans; but the reality is that they are not lumpable. They come from some quite distinct pools of inherited traits; and the contrast even after well over four centuries of living under an imposed Spanish cultural medium, including a common religion, language and Government, has done very little towards removing the immense difference in behavioral patterns between the small actual Spannish elite, the huge Mestizo populations, and the remaining purer Indian types--including those lately desperately trying to reassert their own heritage.
It is not a kindness to anyone to pretend that you can simply assimilate people into cultures designed by other people as a reflection of those other people's social traits, and achieve the same happy, congenial society, as that which tends to characterize a prosperous homogeneous society.
There is such a thing as a fusion--it usually takes about 200 years to really work--where compatible types form a new variety of man; but this is not something that you can program--that is assuming there would be some reason why you would want to. Far, far better, that we learn to respect one another for our very differences--often the small, unique characteristics which make life more interesting and rewarding. Reggie White had the right spin on the subject in his speech to the Wisconsin Legislature--the one that was denounced by almost every Leftist in America. But in that mutual respect, there is no argument whatsoever for increasing the Mexican Mestizo contingent in the population of the United States. Indeed, consider the flip side. Do you think, after their Texas experience, the Mexicans would suddenly want to see a sizeable Anglo settlement in another part of Mexico?
This is not intended as a criticism of the article, which is excellent. I am only making an additional point.
One other matter, is this Manion by any chance a descendant of the late, great Dean Clarence Manion, of the Notre Dame Law School, and Conservative leadership fame? I know that some of his children were very active and dedicated Conservatives, but I am not familiar with a Christopher.

How many people have said exactly the same thing on this forum?
There's a very simple answer to the whole problem of illegal immigration, a no-brainer, a third grader could figure it out- enforce the law.
One earlier poster asked if there are conservative lawyers who might be enlisted to aid in the fight against the illegals. I hope that there are, too; but they will be outnumbered by the (sleazy, lowlife, scummy) immigration lawyers...let's not forget them. An amnesty will be a bonanza for them. They'll charge 2 or 3 thousand for each poor schmuck that wants to apply, for 15 minutes of filling out a form. Quick and easy loot, and it makes the tobacco settlements look petty by comparison.
If the above offends some lawyer that may stumble across this thread, GOOD!
This is the definition of an alien culture, antagonistic to all of our values. The truth of it is here in writing, but it cannot be totally conveyed this way. People have to feel it, hear it, see it, and then be allowed to understand it by contemplation. When they do understand it, they will see it for the lurid chaos, the grim horror that it is. And then they will feel fear, and understand that something like a border fence on the U.S. - Mexico border is simply a wall to keep out the worst virus that could ever infect the United States, and already has: the vicious legacy of 5 centuries of feudal despotism.
Somehow, someway, the ordinary people of Mexico have to rise up against this. But we cannot simply let them stampede in here, running from the horror. That just serves the purposes of the Caudillo's that perpetuate the evil, because it can only end in destroying us, and giving them a foothold here (they already have it, of course..). Think of turning over the government to the Mafia...and then multiply by 10.
I have known many Mexicans who were born and raised here, and are completely assimilated in the egalitarian ideas that were embodied in this country's birth. Assimilation is possible, but only in manageable numbers.
We are far, far past anything approaching "manageable" numbers.
