The Fraud of Immigration Reform

The President gave a speech yesterday concerning immigration and the need to pass some type of comprehensive legislation to deal with the issue of illegals and what we can do to slow the numbers arriving each day.
This was once important to President Bush, but members of his own party saw his approach as advocating amnesty. I know that everyone says they do not want amnesty, but all of the bills deal with the rights of the illegals over the rights of american workers. Until we stop the illegals from coming across the border first, there can be no legislation that will do anything other than make more rules that the illegals will ignore. They know that many politicians are ready right now to make them full citizens as they vie for their future votes.
We really need to get a grip on our borders and not do anything to assist the government of Mexico to export its’ people to the United States, so they can work and send home Billions to Mexico. Mexico is very disingenuous on this matter as they have armed troops on their own souther border and shoot and kill illegals trying to cross their borders from central and south america. So to let the Mexicans control this debate is ludicrous and we need to wake up and get something serious done before Aztlan becomes a reality. For those who may not know it Aztlan is supposedly the area of the southwest which rightfully belongs to the Mexicans as this article from wikipedia explains:
Due to the association of Aztlán with growing Mexican nationalism among Mexicans in the United States, and its northern location, the name Aztlán was taken up by some revolutionary Chicano movement activists of the 1960s and 1970s to refer to the Southwestern United States that Mexico lost or sold to the United States that they suggested rightfully belonged to Mexico, ignoring the treaty, the sale and the Gadsden Purchase. Aztlán appears in the title of the 1968 manifesto issued by the radical Chicano youth movement that called for the liberation of that land from colonial occupation by the United States, even though Mexico "liberated" the same land from the Spaniards only 27 years before (which Spaniards liberated from native American Indians. The Plan Espiritual de Aztlán, as well as the names of several organizations, such as MEChA, (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán, "Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán"), an organization that gained notoriety for making claims against the United States' occupation of Aztlan on behalf of Mexico. Many in the Chicano Movement attribute poet Alurista for popularizing the term Aztlán in a poem presented during the Chicano Youth Liberation Conference in Denver, Colorado, March 1969
Therefore with this type of background you can see why many of the illegals believe they have a right to break our laws. My biggest complaint is not with the people who come here illegally to find work and take care of their families. They are just doing what it takes to survive. The fault is entirely on the politicians in this country and in Mexico, who do not take a strong stand and stop all illegal immigration. They and well as companies small and large that hire illegals with a wink and a nod are the true culprits. It is also ridiculous to allow people who are born here, even though illegal to receive full citizenship which then allows their parents to stay, because they are babies. This may have been important in the beginning of this country to make it grow, but now is just one more in a whole series of loopholes to remain here illegally. We must shut the loopholes and take this matter seriously before we cannot stop the inevitable minimization of our own rights to cater to the illegals who grow in numbers and boldness everyday.
We will see another May 1st walkout in many areas of the country as the illegals show just how integral they are to the running of many of our industries from agriculture to restaurants to factories. I personally have seen just how much these illegals have contributed to keeping restaurants running. They have increased their numbers exponentially in just the last five years. I managed a restaurant in 2001-2004 and there was some illegals , but went back to managing a restaurant in 2006 until last month and they are now quickly becoming the main labor force, even in a or should I say primarily in chinese restaurants. They come in and know people already working and may not have a social security card and they come back a few days later and they have one. The industry looks the other way and does so by saying “they showed me a social security card and proper i.d. and I am not a law enforcement officer, so how can I know they are not legal>” This is where the government needs to get tougher and tell the employers, you may not be law enforcement officers, but you better be real sure, because we shall prosecute you and not just fine you, but jail time will be you lot as well. The knowledge of going to jail would have a bigger impact than facing paying a fine as they see that as just the cost of doing business with cheap labor.
Let’s wake up America, President Bush nor the Democrats in Congress looking our for our best interests. Bush has always been an amnesty now kind of guy, and the Democrats see Illegals as their next base of support if they make amnesty possible as quickly as possible. Watch the marches and walkouts May 1st and be aware of the coming tide that will sweep this country away from us if we do not act and make our politcians know how we feel. We shall write more on this in the coming weeks.
Take Care and Have a Great Weekend! Tome el Cuidado y Tenga UN Gran Fin de semana!
