Open Borders, Illegal Immigration and Amnesty: Understanding the Debate
I already wrote an article about illegal immigration here, but this seems to actually be an argument over the definition of amnesty. Some people say it's one thing some say another. How there can be any concern over such infinitesimal details while ignoring the larger picture and the true problem is beyond me.
Any attempt to legalize and assimilate 12 million undocumented aliens will fail. The very question is beyond contemplation. How on Earth can the United States government process 12 million people when they can't handle giving out passports? Making subtle changes to the definition of 'amnesty' is not likely to have much impact on the end product; 12 million completely undocumented people set loose on America. Legally.
That isn't counting all the people that will follow. If you think we have a problem with illegal immigration now, in fifty years we will be overrun with illegal aliens, open borders or not. As soon as the rest of Mexico finds out how lenient our laws are, they will come over in droves. Fences will not stop them. Laws will not stop them, unless they are enforced.
So, barring actually enforcing the law, what is the solution?
The only way to stop illegal immigrants, generally Mexicans, coming from Mexico to the United States and working is to discourage employers from hiring illegal immigrants. There simply is no other way. As long as people will pay them far more than they make in Mexico to work, immigrants will leave Mexico to work here. You can hardly blame the Mexicans. The blame lies squarely with us.
We don't enforce our laws and that is the root of the problem. We don't punish employers who hire illegal immigrants and that exacerbates the problem to an enormous degree. Add all this to the haphazard INS ''effort'' to police the nation's illegals and Americans natural tendency to not take any action that might actually accomplish something and we are in a big world of hurt, and the blue collar folks like myself are going to feel it most.

Post a Commenti agree with you about the employers are part of the problem hence there are liberals and conservativs that are ok with amnesty. for some its a bleeding heart for others its plain greed. I think amnesty support is paramount to treason.
" As soon as the rest of Mexico finds out how lenient our laws are, they will come over in droves. Fences will not stop them. Laws will not stop them, unless they are enforced." shoot to kill orders for our agents would curb it. It they take volunteers to patrol the border and illegals start learning they will be shot on site i guarnatee it would stop. one year at hard labor woudl also help.
this is a very good article and makes very good points.
