IMMIGRATION QUAGMIRE

THE JURY'S CONVICTION OF KEN LAY AND JEFF SKILLING IN THE ENRON SCANDAL SUPPOSEDLY SENT A MESSAGE THAT CEO'S CAN'T HIDE BEHIND LAWYERS OR ACCOUNTANTS, THAT THEY ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW. BUT BI-PARTISAN POLITICIANS IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE THINK ARE. THEY PUSHED FOR THESE TWO CORPORATE CROOKS TO BE TRIED QUICKLY, BUT DEMUR OVER REP. WILLIAM JEFFERSON OF LOUISIANA’S, GUILT FOR ACCEPTING BRIBES AND SEQUESTERING EVIDENCE. THEY CONTRADICT THEMSELVES WHEN QUESTIONING INTRUSION INTO INDIVIDUAL PRIVACY RIGHTS WITHOUT WARRANTS ON THE ONE HAND AND THE RIGHT OF THE POLICE TO INTRUDE WITH JUST CAUSE AND A WARRANT ON THE OTHER. TOSSING CONSISTENCY AND COMMON SENSE ASIDE AND GIRDING THEMSELVES SOLELY WITH THE CLOTH OF POLITICAL GAIN, OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES IN WASHINGTON PUBLICALLY STRUT THEIR GOVERNING STUPIDITY. NO WAY CAN THEY BE TRUSTED TO HANDLE THE HOT ISSUE OF IMMIGRATION AND SOLVE THIS QUAGMIRE. AS A CONTRARIAN I PRESENT ALTERNATIVE QUESTIONS.

1. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ADDING MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS? THE FACT THAT THEY ARE ILLEGAL OR THE DOUBT THAT AMERICA CAN EXPAND TO ACCOMMODATE THEM? ERGO, LEGALIZE CURRENT RESIDENTS, RAISE THE LEGAL QUOTAS, EXPECT ALL IMMIGRANTS TO LEARN ENGLISH, ENTER THE JOB MARKETS, PAY TAXES AND REJECT WELFARE. WHEN THE ANNUAL QUOTAS ARE FILLED, CLOSE THE BORDERS AND ENFORCE THEM BY MILITARY MEANS (INCLUDING SHOOT TO KILL ORDERS). THROW CAUTION TO THE FOUR WINDS JUST AS WAS DONE WITH PREVIOUS WAVES OF WILLING IMMIGRANTS.

2. WHO WILL BEAR THE CHILDREN FOR THE FUTURE? NOT THOSE WHO NOW LIMIT OUR POPULATION BY SELECTIVE ABORTIONS AND USELESS PARENTING. WHO WILL PAY FOR SOCIAL SECURITY WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY BANKRUPT ITSELF THANKS TO WAVES OF INCOMING RETIREES AND ONLY A TWO TO ONE RATIO OF WORKERS TO NON-WORKERS?

WHO ARE NO BETTER THAN THE MILLIONS OF ELITIST AMERICANS WHO NOW PROFESS A LAZY, SPOILED AND ARROGANT LIFESTYLE AND VESTIGIAL RACISM AGAINST INFERIORS? WHO ARE THE SO-CALLED ‘INFERIORS’ EVEN THOUGH OTHER 'INFERIOR' AMERICANS WHO ARE LAZY, SPOILED AND ARROGANT ARE WILLING TO DREDGE UP RACIST SINS OF THE PAST TO EXCUSE WORK AND PERFORMANCE IN THE FUTURE? WHO WILL BE SUBJECTED TO PREJUDICE INHERENT IN HUMAN NATURE NO MATTER WHAT THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OR THEIR CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES? THE COLLECTIVE ANSWER? THE IMMIGRANTS.

AMERICANS TODAY ARE NO 'PERFECT DARLINGS.' OUR PRIORITIES AND MORALS ARE COMPROMISED. MORE VOTES WERE CAST FOR THE AMERICAN IDOL THAN THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. MURDERS HIT HOME DAILY - AS ONE DID IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD THIS PAST WEEK WITH THE STABBING DEATH OF A CHILD BY A DERANGED DAD. TOSSING CAUTION INTO THE WIND, WHY NOT TRUST IN 10 MILLION IMMIGRANTS EACH YEAR TO ADVANCE OUR COUNTRY AND THEN AS FORMER PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN SAID, "TRUST BUT VERIFY," VERIFY THAT THEY USE LEGAL MEANS? IS AMERICA DEMOCRATIC, EXPANSIVE AND INNOVATIVE ENOUGH TO HANDLE IT? THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO FRENCHIFY OR FALL BACK.
