I have recently become more aware on the issue of illegal immigration.
In other words the wool has been pulled from my eyes.
I have also recently become aware of Bush's Amnesty plan for
illegal aliens. I was shocked. It also show how out of touch
I was with politics to have not heard about this.
I know see plainer why illegal immigration is so positve to some people.
It is not about right or wrong to them it is about making more money
or getting re-elected.
Here is the way it works:
Companies make a higher profit margin from employing illegal aliens.
Honest law abiding citizens and blue collar workers can suffer from this.
Actually everyone can suffer from this in the long run but when
you are greedy for money you only think of the short term.
Politicians don't care because no illegal aliens run for office, yet.
They do care about being re-elected and companies can use
contributions to influence them to vote their way. Also politicians
can be motivated to play to Hispanic vote by being lenient on
illegal immigration.
It appears to me that many politicians who have connections with big bussiness
or playing for the hispanic votes are being very positive towards illegal immigration.
They are serving their interests rather than the interests of the public.
So far no one seems to hold them accountable.
Lets hold them accountable on the elections
For lower income Americans this maybe should be your number one voting issue.
My main voting issue is on pro life and pro family but this issue is up there.
This is an important issue for me
I vote on the issues and for candidates that support the issues I think
are important for America.
Bushes pro Illegal Immigration stance is why I do not want to vote for Bush anymore.
Bush may think I do not have anywhere else I can go to vote and
still vote conservative but I am seriously looking at other
candidates like Peroutka. 'So what' if they don't have a realistic chance to
win! At least I can live with my conscience that I voted for what
I thought was the most moral man.
if you are changing your vote based on this issue or close to it
lets let Bush now. I am also interested to hear about this too.
You can send me an E-mail about this.
Who Supports Illegal Immigration and Amnesty
Both Parties Democrats and Republicans strongly support Illegal Immigration
Kerry and Bush are very much pro Illegal aliens in actions if not in words
Here is a site that shows the Illegal Immigration stance of people running for presidency
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
on immigration numbers and forced population growth
Illegal Aliens
Big and Small Business Owners
surprisingly even some unions - if more union members have more union wages and more power.
Politicians who want hispanic vote
some hispanics do and some dont
Who does not support amnesty
legal immigrants like Arnold Schwarzeneger and many legal Hispanics
The majority of Americans
Motivations or reasons why illegal immigration is the wrong thing to support
It hurts our justice - it is criminal and supports criminal activity -
it jeopordizes our protection against terrorist infiltration
it hurts our economy
it makes legal immigration totally worthless
Motivations for Bush to favor Illegal Immigration
or Bush's Stance on nonsense
Bush is for an amnesty on illegal aliens.
Bush does not seem to see the light.
He is actually of the opinion that there are many
jobs needing to be filled and there is no US worker
able to fill these jobs.
Well Yeah, if you are an employer
it would be great to pay someone pennies
for a horrible job and yes there are not many Americans
that would want this job, but does that mean you
should bless illegal aliens with a work permit?
Many think Bush is just trying to play for more Hispanic votes.
The idea goes that the Republican party needs to
have Hispanic votes to win states like California so therefore
he needs be compassionate on illegal aliens so
he can win over Hispanic votes.
A problem here is that all the polls show the American populace
as a whole favoring tougher stances on illegal immigration.
I find it very hard to believe he can think amnesty makes
sense.
I frankly am at a loss to know what Bush is up to, but it
is hard for me not to be skeptical and think he is playing
politics and comprimising what is right to gain votes or
do favors for his business friends.
Here is an interesting related quote
Recently the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), which represents more than 10,000 agents, said Bush’s immigration plan was the cause for the 13.1 percent increase of border crossings. Head of the NBPC, T.J. Bonner said that many of the illegal aliens caught in January cited Bush’s amnesty plan as their motivation for crossing.
Actually I wrote some of this page earlier and since then
I have done more searching to find out
why anyones and especially why Bush would be for illegal immigration
Here is some on this topic
Motivations for Bush to favor Illegal Immigration
The possible legitimate honest reasons for favoring illegal immigration
None: I am sorry but you don't uphold the law by giving gifts to law breakers.
Any so-called justification for doing this is therefore nullified.
What about the lame idea that if we give work permits to illegal
aliens then we will free up resource to really go after the illegal aliens.
This is so stupid I forgot to laugh. Why dont we just give "get out of
jail cards" to serial rapists so we can free up resources to go
after serial rapists?
OK but Bush is still favoring illegal immigration and there are no
legitimate reasons so why does he do this? Yes why? why? why?
The Dishonest Hidden Selfish Reasons
Selfish motive part 1:pandering to Hispanic Votes
By the way I strongly believe Bush really supports illegal immigration
for the long term and is not just bluffing now to get Hispanics
to help him get the election and then will do a flip flop and be against
illegal immigration. Why? Two reasons First Bush is not
going to try to do flip flops after blasting Kerry for this(but boy
I wish Bush did flip flop in this issue), Second
Bush has much more important reasons to be for illegal immigration
besides the short term 2004 re-election.
Selfish motivations part 2 - prolonging the Bush Dynasty, Big Business ties and Family ties
Actually Big Business and Family are one and the same thing for Bush anyway
(and for Kerry by the way since they are both Skull and Bones secret society members)
Bush has a long history of big bussiness friends and politicians on both sides of the
Mexican border. Bush's Brother Jeb is Hispanic. Jeb's Kids are Hispanic.
This is important because both Jeb and his son George are possible future
presidential candidates and since they are sort of Hispanics themselves
they may benefit from a larger Hispanic voting population in the future.
If you have never lived in another country I really can't explain to you the amount
of corruption in the government. Bush really does have close ties with
rich people on both sides of the border who really stand nothing to loose
and everything to gain by illegal immigration. One of the scary things is that
some of Bush's Mexican friends are now in jail for drug money and other criminal
activity. One of the scary things about many countries besides America
is the fact that you almost can't get into government unless you are corrupt.
You should always be careful with who your friends are because we are
so heavily influenced by them.
Bushs interests for illegal immigraton are definitely many BUT they are not the
interest of the American public who do not favor illegal immigration.
Why it is in Business Owners best interest to have Illegal Aliens
This is a quote from a letter I found:
The WM(Wal-Mart) warehouse in my area loves hiring the hispanics, & it's NOT that they work any harder or better that the Americans.
It's mainly due to the fact that very few sign up for insurance (that WM pays part of). There's also a large turn-over, thereby the employee never gets 'vested' in the profit sharing plan. (WM also pays into this).
When WM hires more than enough, they CUT everyone's hours to about 30 a week. Even thru the Christmas rush this warehouse is not working any of the employees 40 hr. a week.
(By people working 30 hours a week you do not run a risk of having to pay for overtime)
Another thing to notice here is that not only does Wal Mart make more money but you and I make
less money or rather more of our tax money goes to pay to make Wal Mart more money.
How? Well the illegal aliens and impoverished Americans who work there must rely on
Public benefits/health care etc. which our tax money pays for.
First I have to say you really can't fault companies for doing this because they are out to make
money. Even if a manager is sympathetic it his fellow americans getting stiffed he must fight
to keep his job. If he does not make money he can be fired.
I actually have much experience in an environment where those in power are profiting from
those under their power who are suffering in health and sometimes dying and commiting suicide
because of those work conditions. It is unbelievably scary to me the way the managers
were able to turn a blind eye to this and pass the blame on to their superiors(without complain
ing of course) or just not care.
OK I do fault them for not caring about people but I do realize they are out to make money and dont care.
Frankly I see alot of business owners enslaved to greed and it is our responsibility
to make just laws to hold them in check. All I am saying is that there is a place and a
need for Government to have laws in place so that Big Business will not benefit from
enslaving people or breaking the law. Companies should not police themselves just
as you and I should not also.
Keeping power hungry mad men in check is what a just society like America is based upon-
or supposed to be based upon.
The quality of life of all goes up when there is no aristocracy, rich class favoritism etc .
The strength and amount of the middle class is almost always an indicator of the quality of a country.
Just keep in mind there will always be rich and poor and this is not a bad thing if everybodies
rights are still respected.
If you are a power hungry individual yourself, stop thinking short term.
If you think you can gain in the long term by taking advantage of others around you
you have your head screwed on wrong. You also do not realize in the long term
God will hold you accountable.
What can we do to stop about the illegal immigration problem
Get informed
Inform others
have courage and be aware of the danger
Be Aware
First dont think that Big Bussiness will stop lobbying
for illegal immigration because it is in their best interest to do so.
Second don't be under the illusion they will then say the reason
is because we want to make money regardless of how it hurts others.
No they will basicly lie and say we are for stronger borders and other people are
hiring illegal aliens but we don't.
Don't overlook the danger of Terrorist sneaking accross the
border. We normally don't care until it is too late.
If you ask me this is pretty much guaranteed to happen
It is basicly up to the steadily sinking lower working class of America
to spread the news and vote for congressman that will vote
for upholding illegal immigration as illegal.
Strategy of supporting Legal Immigration and stopping illegal Immigration
First we need to know what is the right thing to do
Second we need to do it.
OK you say I know the right thing is to be against illegal immigraton.
What should we do?
I will not paint a pretty picture. Stopping illegal immigration
even if we want to is a big big task.
First it is not just about making stronger borders patrols.
You could pour billions into doing this and if there
was still no punishment for employers of illegal aliens or
the aliens themselves then you are just setting up
an elaborate game of tag your it - Lets play it again.
You are saying it is illegal but we're just kidding.
You are posting do not trespass signs while
big bussiness is posting 'Help Wanted' signs.
Effective laws need effective enforcement.
What should be done besides strengthening our borders?
Stronger border control
Stronger identification required for workers to work( also identifying criminal records)
Stronger penalties of employers who hire illegal aliens
some sort of penalty to illegal aliens - like not giving
them a work permit for a few years after a violation
Stronger mexican economy would be nice but will not happen probably until corruption goes.
Maybe some sort of increase in legal work
permits if there really is a legitimate need for
more workers.
Long term solution:
America needs not only to be healthy itself
It helps it if its neighbors are healthy too.
There is nothing wrong with Hispanics
They are cool the same as every other race.
Mexico has alot of corruption and we have some too.
There are many law abiding Hispanics in America.
I personally am against illegal immigration no
matter what country you are from.
If you think America should just have an
open door policy for all the people to come
here that want to we can discuss that and
make it a law if thats what is best to do
but lets not support breaking the law.
