Illegals Need Not Apply
. . .Give
We must! Our enemies scheme to
import terror and devastating drugs. Crime involving illegal immigrants spirals
out of control, and schools are flooded with itinerate students who speak little
English.
Yet, I know that if I lived in poverty in Mexico, I’d do whatever it took to
get a better life in America. I grew up having illegal immigrant friends. I like
their humor, their looks, their food and many of their traditions. I want them
to have a better life.
But the gigantic, gluttonous USA government
makes it impossible to welcome poor immigrants anymore. Historically,
immigrants came here at their own risk. The lazy might starve. When the needy
were cared for by their churches, and education was a privilege, it didn’t
matter how many came. A free people
naturally have equal opportunity to starve or to thrive.
But now, only half the legal citizens pay income taxes, while layer upon layer
of free goods and services are provided to the poor.
Our government has taken over the work historically done by churches
but with far less efficiency. Taxpayers
cannot afford to care for additional poor. Indeed, our exploding national debt
makes it immoral to accept additional expenses!
Very many illegal immigrants have legal children.
Our US Constitution dictates that anyone born in the USA is a citizen.
That law motivates illegal immigrants to give birth here.
First, we should change the law so that at least one parent must prove legal
residency before a birth certificate can be issued.
Proof of legal residency should also be required before anyone may use
the free services provided by taxpayers. We must reduce incentives to come
illegally!
Second, we must stop the flow. Build
a fence, increase patrols, and stiffen penalties for breaking our laws. If an
illegal alien is convicted of a serious crime in the US, his prison sentence
should mandate hard labor. Make those criminals fix the roads!
Third, we should improve incentives to charities to supply the needs of any poor
without complicated government regulation.
Fourth, we must streamline the process for coming to America legally.
Surveys suggest that most illegal immigrants in the Las Vegas area plan
to return to Mexico once they’ve saved enough to start a business.
If we make this a standard procedure, and withhold citizenship to any
children born to such workers while here, Americans and legal aliens would
mutually benefit each other.
As we straighten the legal road, we must also punish those who hire, house, or
hide illegal aliens. Such a law
worked well in Oklahoma. It became
too risky to stay and most illegals fled the state.
This would also help our shortage of jobs.
If we apply these solutions nationally, we will unravel illegal immigration in a
simple, humane and cost-effective way.
