Hapless Immigration & Visa Systems

The industrial revolution was 100 years ago; we needed millions of huddled masses yearning to breath free and escape the murder and starvation going on in their home counties. These immigrants went to work in our factories and integrated in to become Americans. We now have a 30 million surplus of huddled masses and two thirds of them are here illegally.

Our borders are still broken and Democrats would pass an amnesty bill for 20 million illegal immigrants to fast-track to citizenship if left to their own devices. Further, Democrats will let them bring more family members in for a possible influx of 100 million, Spanish speaking day laborers. They may think we need them to continue the Social Security Ponzie scheme, but they will bring their elderly parents to the U.S. as well. If we hadn’t killed 50 million babies, we would only need half of these illegal aliens. I hope they can all work on California farms. Whoever panders to these folks will have a non-stoppable voting block. Most of these immigrants will be poorly educated low income workers. Unemployment should remain at 20 % for a number of years, and this infusion will certainly prolong that number for the next decade. The Democrats are 6 steps ahead of us.

I can lay this failure at the feet of Bush 2’s “Expansionism” - As the world’s leading colonial power, we were able to attract an ever-growing number of Mexicans without having to seize any Mexican territory.

Not to be outdone by Bush 2, Obama will declare amnesty for illegal aliens. It’s not a good time to double our underclass population. We have 25% (75 million) of our 300 million population, 12% in the underclass and 13% in thte working poor. If we add another 20 million illegal aliens, we will expand that to 31% (90 million). If they bring in their relatives, it could expand to 58% of our population (175 million). Most of these folks will be added to our transfer payment system. Thinking that they will eventually have U.S. manufacturing jobs is a myth. Expanding the underclass and working poor will tip the political balance and well over 50% of the population will be receiving some form of transfer payment income from the government. We are on the fast-track to irreversible socialism.

It is clear, we don’t need more unemployed day laborers. Our public schools are completely capable of producing more drop-outs than we could ever employ.

We play fast and loose with visas. Anybody can come here and disappear. We certainly need to limit visas for potential terrorists. Many of these are college students spending time in U.S. mosques.
