Immigration

I want to state openly here, that I am not anti-immigrant. This nation was founded by immigrants. If you would like to become an immigrant, please do. Just follow the process that is outlined in our laws. There, my friends, is the issue. I am anti illegal immigration. I was reading Mrs. Du Toit and she has an outstanding post up regarding illegal immigration, I think it would be well worth your time to go and read it.

Currently, congress is considering measures to do something about illegal immigrants who are flooding into our country. I'm going to be brutally honest here...They're eating up huge amounts of welfare. They're eating up jobs. They're eating up housing. Many of them are contributing to rising crime rates. Remember, I'm addressing illegal immigrants here. The ones that enter through the legal means are trying to build a new life and participating in our society and culture, the illegals aren't. They want to get a job where they won't be taxed and send that money back to their homeland so that more of their families can come over and sponge, or they intend to return and live a life of luxury from the money they sent back.

The government solutions include an amnesty for illegals. Look it over, that's what it is, plain and simple. These people will not be punished in any way shape or form for breaking US immigration laws. First, I urge you to hit my congresscritter finder on the sidebar, and voice your displeasure over this directly to your elected officials. Secondly, I urge you to urge them to take a real stand on the issue. We need secure borders. We need jobs. I said before that that non sense about illegal immigrants doing jobs that Americans won't do is just that, non sense, if the American gets hungry enough, he/she by god will do that job. When you contact your congresscritter, keep this list in mind, the folks on it voted against the amnesty measure.

List from Anti Idiotarian Rottweiler

I found this link to an estimated cost of this shamnesty measure here, take a look and think about it hard because you will be paying the bill.

You better take some action. The only thing that is really wrong with this country is that the people, We the People, have forgotten that we are the ones who are actually in control here. We have forgotten that the Government is supposed to be run by the people through their elected officials. That the one thing that makes our system of government work is the direct involvement of We the People. Why is Government fucked up? Because the people have stopped participating. The prefer to go with the flow and let stuff happen as it will, then they want to sit back and bitch because it's a mess. Get involved, help clean up the mess instead of bitching about it.
