Don’t Roundup Illegal Aliens

          Don’t even try to round up the twelve million illegal aliens currently in the United States.  Yes, I mean it, but before you think I’ve gone over to the dark side hear me out. 

          Liberals and big business RINOs often lecture conservative that we cannot deport all of the illegal aliens.  Of course, we can’t deport twelve million people and to say that is what all conservatives want to do is to put forth a straw man argument.  All that most conservatives want from our elected officials is that they enforce the laws they have passed and take reasonable measures to secure the border.  It seems to me that a fence is pretty reasonable.  If the government did enforce current immigration laws and complete the border fence that would still leave twelve million illegal aliens in the country.  What would be the next step? 

          There was a time when the federal government worked for the greater good of the nation.  During World War II, the government recognized the threat to the nation and with the private sector worked to become the arsenal of democracy and united, we defeated fascism.  Such times of unity and strength are gone.  No greater example of that comes to my mind than the fight over illegal immigration.  Neither Democrats nor Republicans have shown a willingness to recognize the problem, strengthen American borders or enforce current immigration law.  However, increasingly the states and cities are taking up the fight.

          Initiative 1122 sponsored by the citizen group Respect Washington, takes on the immigration battle in Washington State.  The initiative, opposed by the ACLU, requires that those seeking employment or public benefits be in the country legally.  State and local governments would be required to verify eligibility for public benefits, such as welfare and food stamps using the SAVE program.  Employers would use E-Verify to ensure that job applicants are allowed to work here legally.  Both of these federal programs, SAVE and E-Verify already exist and are funded by you, the taxpayer.  Why not use them?     

          When most states and employers routinely use tools like SAVE and E-verify to screen out illegal aliens the tide will have turned.  Illegals will migrate to those states and employers that remain friendly to them.  The burdensome costs to law enforcement, healthcare and social services in those states will become apparent.  In states that require citizenship verification, businesses will find it increasingly difficult to hire illegals.  At that point, most illegal aliens will be forced to seek work elsewhere and many, perhaps most, will end up going home.

SPEAK UP NOW OR PAY HIGHER TAXES LATER?

The Dream Act in itself, might be a reasonable law allowing
the students of illegal parents, to be permitted to stay in the United States?
But the ramifications are more ominous, that once the students have legitimacy
they can then start petitioning for family members and that by any other name
is CHAIN MIGRATION. It further challenges more people to simply scorn what lax
laws we have and just enter illegally. Immediate family members overtime can
then bring in even more people, and this has set up a chain reaction. Just like
another possibility of yet a second mass amnesty, it always attributes to
costs. It has been verified that the 1986 accounting, when the final tally was
made that it cost US taxpayers 76 Billion dollars. By the time of a further
amnesty in today’s dollars and cents had been calculated, the Heritage
foundation assessed such final bottom line of in the range of 2.6 Trillion
dollars.

Now this dollar figure is based on the assumption, that there are only 11 to 12
million foreign nationals in the country, a number based on processing,
background checks and an accumulation on other personal data along with medical
examinations. But (FAIR) Federation of American Immigration Reform, (
NUMBERSUSA) and thousands of grass root sovereignty organizations have assessed
the population figures to well over 20 billion. This is an overwhelming number
to consider and a dollar figure to incredulous to even imagine. That would
strip any gains against the $14.5 Trillion dollars we owe outside the shores of
America. This nation must be entirely thankful to the great State of Arizona,
who started this long and dangerous crusade against the tyranny inside the
Obama administration that would welcome into America every indigent family from
across the globe.

America cannot keep giving anymore as they are not representing the needs of those of
Citizens and legal residents? Taxpayers have been burdened to long in Georgia,
Alabama, Arizona that has become the height of outrageous irresponsibility and
indifference. Rallies or demonstration are looked upon with disdain and anger, with
those politicians who pander to foreign nationals exhibiting poor
judgment. There may be thousands protesting immigration laws, but think about the other
half of law-abiding people, that is certainly to be in the tens of millions?
Arizona outburst against unfair laws was just the beginning and now
the real battle will begin in the coming months as we progress towards the 2012
election.

THOSE STATES THAT HAVE NEGLECTED THE PEOPLES WISHES, BY ADDING SENSIBLE
ENFORCEMENT LAWS WILL BE QUICKLY OVERRUN BY ABSCONDERS FROM GEORGIA, ALABAMA.
EVENTUALLY LAX ENFORCEMENT STATES WILL BE PAYING A HEAVY PRICE IN MORE
WELFARE AND PUBLIC SERVICES, AS UNDER CONSIDERABLE PRESSURE FROM ECONOMIC
ILLEGAL ALIENS?

Stepping forward now the TEA PARTY is the only true way that will elevate this
massive debt, placed upon taxpayers by thoughtless politicians. We cannot trust
the Imperials in the Republican Party and we certainly cannot trust the
undercover far Left, that has impregnated the Democrats. Either party has had
their own agenda for omnipotent power of new voters through illegal
immigration, or the overall influence from big business to relax laws, so
millions can be used for a lesser form of slavery; except in both ideals the
programmed taxpayer picks up the unknown estimated cost to support them. In
three decades America's working man/ women has lost a percentage of his wages,
to support illegal immigrants. How academia thinks the economy would grow, must
live in a delusional world, when nearly every State is burdened by instant
citizenship baby laws, which under the current misinterpretation payments of
cash to these families, has diluted every treasury.

Our schools are crammed to capacity, full of the children of illegal aliens,
the health system slowly falling apart as more hospitals fail of wanton
families to be treated; many of these institutions unable to survive. Then we
have the US penal system choked with illegal alien criminals, that is yet
another tax hike on the American population. The TEA PARTY is our only remedy
as the Congress, have no sense of urgency to the impending financial crash.
Perhaps Rep. Michele Bachman of Minnesota, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Sarah
Palin of Alaska; all regarded as strong supporters of the ever growing TEA
PARTY. Only the TEA PARTY leaders seem to understand the financial predicament
we have truly manufactured for ourselves, from the years of corruption within
equal parties. The TEA PARTY has astounded both political parties in power, and
will release us from the years of rot and poor or intentional mismanagement to
gain favor with open border lobbyists. The TEA PARTY has sworn to the major
majority of the American people, no new amnesties of any kind, which includes
the dismantling of Sanctuary cities and towns, no dream Acts or anything
assigned to foreigners who broke our stagnant laws.

To accomplish this task we must insist our government implement mandatory
E-Verify and Secure Communities, which will track down both illegal workers and
criminal illegal aliens. There must be no compromises, but that Congress should
enforce these laws, without interference from the open border zealots or the elitist
groups discount labor.

You should also introduce yourself to the people who run this devastated
country at the Senate—202-224–3121/ House—202-225–3121 and tell them it’s time
to depart of fight for the American taxpayer.
