Illegal Immigration Tsunami, Part 3

Immigration Tsunami, Parts 1 | 2 | 3
The cheap labor we are selling out our country for is actually not so cheap. It is only cheap to the big corporations and smaller businesses that recruit and use illegal immigrant labor. The rest of America pays the education, medical and welfare bills and the higher taxes. And for this favor they get for themselves reduced wages and fewer job opportunities. They will also see the more traditional American social, cultural, political, and religious values overwhelmed, displaced, and marginalized.
Unfortunately, Americans have a government that will not listen to them. Numerous polls show that Americans want illegal immigration stopped and legal immigration reduced. They pay the taxes and fight the wars, and their political leaders ignore them. The political leaders only hear the cha ching, cha ching, cha ching of political contributions from cheap labor corporations and businesses, their lobbyists and chambers. They only hear the praise of the multiculturalist news and educational media, and the constant bullying of victim groups and special interest lobbyists, including illegal immigrant lobbies, who think they have a right to divide up the labor, savings, and property of other Americans and to shackle their freedoms.
America desperately needs for her political class to listen to her people, especially those that pay the bills and fight the wars. America is in desperate need of Immigration Reform. But we need Real Immigration Reform and not the kind of phony immigration reform that has already put the nation at risk. We need to seal our borders to all illegal immigrants. We need to start the process, not all at once, but over a few years of identifying illegal immigrants and sending them home without a return invitation. We need to repeal the 1965 Kennedy Immigration Reform Act and reduce the immigration flow to normal, historical levels.
We need to thoroughly screen immigrants and limit immigration opportunities to those who will appreciate our values and gladly assimilate into American society and culture. We should never allow our immigration policies to displace American workers with cheap foreign labor or put national security at risk. Maintaining a healthy job market for our people and our children must be one of the priorities of immigration reform. Americans have a right to protect the many aspects of their cultural heritage, society, economy, political system, and historical traditions that they cherish and have fought to maintain. This must be a recognized and inviolable feature of any immigration reform. Above all, immigration laws are meant to be enforced. Failure to enforce existing immigration laws is the most important cause of our immigration problem. It is a scandal and breach of constitutional trust by our leaders. Political ambitions and short-sighted greed must never be allowed to replace our people and our culture with another people and another culture.
The first order of battle must be to defeat the Kennedy-McCain so-called Immigration Reform Bill now before Congress. This bill is not reform, and is actually designed to make immigration easier. It will not reduce immigration. It will explode immigration, and leave America with few defenses to protect American workers from being displaced by cheap foreign labor or to preserve its cultural and spiritual heritage. The bill is filled with the usual liberal platitudes and bromides about immigration. It is a multidulturalist dream bill for replacing the American people and American culture with another people and another culture.
Senator Kennedy promised in the debate over the disastrous 1965 Immigration Reform Bill that it would not transform America. Everything he promised would not happen did happen and is getting worse. Congress should have been more wary in 1965, and doubly so now.
Senator McCain has reportedly been conferring with the President on the content of the Bill. Unfortunately, President Bush has just as much responsibility for runaway immigration and the consequent transformation of America into a multicultural society during his term of office as Senator Kennedy. Only strong resistance to Bush’s attempted amnesty for three million illegal Mexican immigrants in 2001 by Southern (but not Texas) conservatives avoided an avalanche of further illegal immigration from Mexico. There was no avalanche, but even the expectation of possible amnesty spurred a considerable increase in illegal immigration. Using the relatively conservative data of CIS, illegal immigration increased more than 43% in the first four years of the Bush Administration and is by no means subsiding. The United States has a de facto near open border immigration policy. Our immigration laws are not being enforced. This willful violation of constitutional trust is all about cheap labor and misguided multiculturalist ideology.
The Kennedy-McCain Bill would transform America. The transformation of America to a multiculturalist, liberal welfare state would then be unstoppable. More massive immigration combined with high welfare benefits could bring about financial and economic collapse and even revolution. We don’t want that. What we want is Real Immigration Reform and the preservation of our Republic, our culture, and our heritage, which we have every right and a sacred duty to defend. Our leaders and representatives in Washington and our state capitals need to hear from the common people of America. We need to insist that they listen or be thrown out of office.
The struggle for Real Immigration Reform is too important for Americans to be intimidated by political correctitude. We must not allow the truth or the urgent need for real reform to be shouted down or impeded by the usual Stalinist tactics of the multiculturalist elite in academia and the media. Nor should we suffer any double talk by their political allies and big business beneficiaries of cheap labor.
The immigration problem must not be ignored. The nation is in real economic, social, cultural, and political peril. We are “a nation of immigrants,” but we should not be so foolish as to unplug our brains and follow a sentimental phrase to our destruction. Lets not make “they were a nation of immigrants” the epitaph of our great Republic. Like a great Tsunami the massive wave of immigration we are experiencing will devastate our society, if we do not act quickly. The effects we are already seeing are enormous and nation changing. We cannot delay our defense or postpone the need for Real Immigration Reform. Why stand we here idle?
