Analysis of Immigration Policy
This is analysis of the new Immigration Policy of President Bush. The theory goes that voters are so dumbed-down, they'll support anythng their 'team' does and he will survive the betrayal because the followers of his Party will never betray him. Quite simply, he is unaccountable to his own supporters, for they have no will to stand apart from his control. I believe there will be consequences for the act and people will suffer and die for it. Of course I predicted that there would be unemployed truckers shooting the tires out of 'triple-rigs' driven by Mexicans, who earn $1.00 and hour and are coming to deliver American goods to consumers for profit to Mexican workers for formerly American Corporations who have laid off employees and moved there to increase profits for themselves. Hasn't happened yet, think it will? Here's a person now planning to run for office in AZ. as result of the Act.
EXCERPT BEGINS
Some Dare Call It Treason
(GOT ROPE?)

President George W. Bush along with Senator John McCain, want to give some eight to
ten million illegal aliens, most of them from Mexico, legal status. Theoretically, the
plan would legalize these aliens as "temporary workers," which would allow them to
work freely in the United States without fear of deportation.
I hear some hard-line conservatives call this proposal treason. I hear very little
from the mainstream Democrats, but some people in Labor and on the Left have pegged
this correctly for what it is. My opinion: this is a proposal which has something bad
for everyone. And in the end, it will cause a violent revolution in two countries.
Something for everyone
First of all, the plan alleges it is designed to thwart illegal immigration. But in
truth, by assessing no penalties, the eight to fourteen million illegal immigrants
already here will be joined by tens of millions more. So forget that nonsense about
this bill stopping illegal immigration. That's a lie. This bill would give would-be
immigrants no reason to follow the law at all. Already, more than ten percent of
Mexico's population is living illegally in the United States. If Bush's plan is
actually implemented, that percentage would skyrocket. Bush's amnesty program would
only be seen as a green light for millions more to invade our nation from all over the
world.
What the Bush-McCain plan offers conservatives
Conservatives seem most concerned about the plan "rewarding lawbreakers". Indeed, the
effect of the plan is actually to encourage and reward the breaking of the law. And if
this law is broken, will this not inspire the whole of the nation to break other laws
with impunity? And what manner of country will this become when that happens, if it
hasn't already? Where are we on this now? Well, 33 percent of our prison population is
now comprised of non-citizens. This doesn't mean everyone trying to sneak in is a
criminal. But it does mean our current policy tends to enable alien criminals and not
penalize them or exclude them.
Also, 36 to 42 percent of illegal aliens are on welfare. This shouldn't sit well with
anyone, but conservatives are the most alarmed by it. The Center for Immigration
Studies estimates that the average Mexican illegal alien costs U.S. taxpayers a
whopping $55,000 each. This puts the lie to the concept that such immigration is
actually "beneficial". Yes, some people who are coming ARE a net benefit. But those
people are dwarfed by those who actually cost us money.
Conservatives are also concerned that this is another step in undermining the
sovereignty of the United States. Part of this is the Aztlan movement, by which some
Mexican-American radicals are essentially preparing to craft a new nation out of the
Southwest, and though they won't openly acknowledge it, "ethnically cleanse" the
region of whites, blacks and Indians. Part of this is the burgeoning movement toward
regionalization, essentially making one North American country out of Canada, Mexico
and the United States.
And every child born of a guest worker would, under our 14th Amendment, becomes an
American citizen, automatically entitled to all the benefits of citizenship. This also
concerns some conservatives.
What the Bush-McCain plan offers liberals
If you love social programs like Social Security, Medicare, education funding,
environmental preservation, etc, and if you are a proponent of universal health care,
what does the Bush-McCain plan do for your programs? Well, if the Bush-McCain amnesty
plan happens, kiss it all goodbye.
The financial drain on American taxpayers which will occur if more aliens are allowed
unfettered access to the United States is incalculable. Taxpayers will be paying for
their food, health care, Social Security benefits, and education, plus all of the
above for their dependents, from now on. Not to mention, the cost of law enforcement
and loss of property due to the criminal conduct of a portion of the alien population.
What will this do to your social programs? It will collapse them. The benefits of
Americans in these programs, and their access to them, will all be cut.
Oh, and when I say taxpayers, I mean, those who will still have jobs. Corporations
will look to hire the former illegal aliens wherever they can. As a result, American
unemployment costs will skyrocket and so will welfare costs. The truth is, this plan
is designed to specifically ELIMINATE as taxpayers the very people who are needed to
fund all these social programs.
I know, I know. You'll respond: well, we can always raise taxes on the rich. Get real.
First of all, even if all the income of the rich were confiscated, it wouldn't fund
the government for any longer than three weeks. But even if it could: how are you
going to do it when Bush and the Republicans control all three houses by wide margins?
Which is exactly what all this is designed to do by appeasing the Latino vote.
But wait: there's more! I haven't forgotten about you environmentalists. Guess what
the extra population coming in is going to do for the environment? Totally destroy it.
More resources will be used. More of everything you hate will have to happen to
accommodate these tens of millions of people. They will have to locate somewhere. If
they locate in cities, they will displace Americans who will then have to move to the
open spaces. Or they will move to the open spaces themselves. Do you know what kind of
havoc illegal aliens can wreak on the environment? Well, check out the southern border
wilderness areas in California and Arizona. Ask the Tohono O'odham Nation.
In any event, these new people will use more oil, requiring the tapping of ANWR, more
paper and more homes, requiring the felling of more trees, more water, requiring more
diversion of the natural courses of rivers. They will deposit more waste in your bays,
more sewage in your rivers, and more trash in more landfills. The companies that hire
them will expand the level of their pollution: why? Because they can, having
Republican majorities everywhere. The savings in labor costs means that such
companies, instead of being forced out of business, will flourish at the expense of
the environment.
What the Bush-McCain plan offers organized labor
First of all, let's acknowledge the 18 million Americans who cannot find a job. The
truth is, there are not very many jobs around that Americans will not do. So illegal
aliens who are coming here to work do so at the peril of American workers.
What the plan offers labor is very simple: the opportunity for major corporations to
bust every single one of your unions. It'll go something like this. A company will
advertise a job, and in three months declare that no American "wanted it". Thus, an
immigrant will be offered it. Now does that really sound so bad?
Well, if it doesn't, you forgot something. What if the reason that job went unfilled
with no American willing to do it was that it didn't offer a living wage? Is that
really legal under the Bush-McCain plan? You betcha.
And this will hit all the minority communities the hardest. The first jobs to be
hatcheted under these plans are jobs mostly held now by black, Indian, and Hispanic
Americans. This is not an unintended consequence, folks. This is by design.
And it will happen to jobs ALL OVER AMERICA. The Bush-McCain plan is the ultimate
union-busting, racial oppression tactic. Which brings me to the next subject...
What the Bush-McCain plan offers immigrant workers
In a word, slavery. Yes, slavery. Every illegal immigrant worker currently has a Sword
of Damocles over their head: accept our slave wages and slave conditions, don't
complain, or you'll be deported, maybe even arrested and sent to detention for two
years. The new guest worker plan not only allows such things to continue, it LEGALIZES
the practice. Abusive practices which often include sexual harassment and forced
prostitution. The plan doesn't offer these immigrant workers a path to citizenship,
which is exactly the condition Negro slaves found themselves in in many states in the
1800's, perpetual non-citizen workers.
Are you listening, MEChA? MALDEF? Are you going to allow a practice which abuses
Mexican nationals, your brothers and sisters, in this way?
What the Bush-McCain plan offers legal immigrants
Bush's amnesty plan is also a serious slap in the face to those would-be immigrants
who are trying to migrate to America legally. And to the many many legal immigrants
now here. And to every single naturalized citizen of the U.S. who did it all according
to the rules.
There are thousands of decent, hard working people from around the world who are
seeking entrance into the United States. Some of these are seeking political asylum.
Some are fleeing persecution. Whatever their reasons, they are following the rules and
obeying the laws. Now, they must wait and watch as President Bush pushes lawbreakers
to the front of the line. Bush and McCain have flipped the middle finger at you, Mr.
and Ms. Legal Immigrant.
Something for Osama bin Laden, too?
As if everything else the Bush-McCain immigration plan would do does not constitute an
act of war against the American people, here is the kicker. As of now, it is made to
seem that every precaution in the world has been taken to prevent another 9-11. We
have gone on military excursions into Iraq and Afghanistan allegedly to root out
"terrorists". Yet at the height of all of this "Orange Alert" and security mania,
oppressing damned near every single American in the name of keeping them safe,
absolutely no concern has been shown to the southern border of the United States.
That's right. Not one troop. One soldier. One national guardsman. Not one has been
stationed on our southern border to secure it. And mixed in with the millions and
millions of Mexican immigrants looking for work, and occasionally for crime, are
agents of Al Qaeda also being smuggled in in order to wreak the next havoc upon
America. How do we know? For one, Al Qaeda themselves have said they are doing it and
are going to do it. For two, instances of notepads with Arabic writings have been
discovered in the Arizona desert.
Are ya "feelin'" me, people? Do you understand what I am trying to tell you? This is a
far more serious matter than just replacing George Bush with Howard Dean, Dick
Gephardt, Wes Clark, Joe Lieberman, John Kerry, or whomever, and a far more serious
matter than replacing John McCain with Liz Michael. This is not about matters for
which members of Congress and the President should be defeated at the polls. This is
about matters over which they should be hung, under the treason clause of the
constitution.
Yes, treason. If Al Qaeda is an enemy of this nation, then the Bush administration is
giving aid and comfort to that enemy by exposing our southern flank to attack on
purpose, and dissuading law enforcement and private militias from patrolling that area
and arresting violators. If the "War On Terror" is a real war, then those who
perpetuate this open and unguarded flank willfully are real traitors, and they should
suffer the penalty reserved for real traitors.
Who is funding illegal immigration?
Think about this. Coyotes, immigrant smugglers, can make anywhere from $500 to $2000 a
head and more, for smuggling the poorest of Mexican immigrants, who barely have a peso
to their family's name, across the southern border.
How do you square that?
I mean, seriously, these people, who are absolutely economically devastated in their
home country, are supposedly paying coyotes thousands of dollars to get into the
United States.
Bull puckey.
Coyotes are being financed. By outside sources. And these people, many unfamiliar with
how to traverse the Sonoran Desert, are being directly encouraged to come, by
SOMEBODY. We may never know for sure, but here are my list of prime candidates:
1. Drug trafficking. Many illegal immigrants are directly used in the trafficking of
illegal drugs into the country.
2. Corporate sponsorship. Proving this may be difficult. But it is the logical
conclusion. Who benefits from having these people come into the country? Who would
therefore be motivated to pay these people? The corporations who are going to exploit
them when they get here.
3. The Mexican government. This is not a stretch at all. Vicente "The Sly Fox" is at
wit's end trying to figure out a way to unload his very vast domestic problem of too
many citizens and too few economic opportunities on the United States.
4. Terrorists. Think about it. What better way to provide safe passage into the United
States for your agents than to make sure the path across the desert is overflowing
with aliens. What better cover, and what better diversion? What better way to test the
routes, than to test them with innocent and desperate Mexican citizens first, before
sending your guys in under their cover.
Who benefits?
Well, gee, if so many people are going to be devastated by the Bush-McCain immigration
plan, who is it going to benefit? I mean, it HAS to benefit SOMEBODY? Right?
Big Business. Corporations. This is who it benefits. And it is the only people it
really DOES benefit, outside of Osama bin Laden. But only in the short term.
Yes, this is a lever for union-busting and cost-saving. And yes, corporations will
make profits and maybe even the stock markets will rise through it. However, long
term, this is going to destroy the American middle class. It is going to evaporate the
ability of common people to buy American products. And history teaches us that when
violent revolutions happen, it is when the middle class is unhappy.
And we're not just talking about America here. It's been these very same alleged "free
trade policies" like NAFTA that have devastated family businesses in Mexico and forced
people to consider these dangerous trips to the United States for survival. When the
people of America revolt, the people of Mexico will be right behind.
The Republicans may indeed pass this, through flattering the very communities they
intend to devastate when the plan is fully exercised in full force. And they may
indeed win an unbreakable stranglehold on the American government, secured by black
box voting and McCain's campaign reform that silences incumbent's opposition. However,
as John Fitzgerald Kennedy said, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will
make violent revolution inevitable." In the end, all Congress may find they have
gained is a nice hemp necktie, and the common saying of the land about politicians may
become "GOT ROPE?".
And I'm sure the good honest decent people of Mexico will follow by also putting their
ruling class in their proper place, namely, the gallows.
