GIMMIE A BREAK!!

          It seems to me that the problem with immigration policy is that it doesn't work.  If it can even be said that there is a policy, which is arguable.

         

          Here is what a very politically incorrect and rational immigration policy would look like.

          The only reason that people want to come here is because it is better than where they were.  And who's to blame them.  Who would not rather live in America than some impoverished third-world despotism?  But that's not our problem.  By coming here these people guarantee that things will never get better in their own country.  They should overthrow their tyrants and establish a government more to their liking.  Just like we did.  Just like many other countries have done in the past.  If all the people who want change leave, there will never be change.  That's one reason

          But as I said; that's none of our business.  What is our business is the fact that we are being swamped by illegal immigrants, and refuse to do anything about it.  So what would I do if I was in charge?

          I would remove all incentive for anyone to come here illegally.  How to do that?  First I would make it illegal, with teeth, to pay, hire, rent to, sell to, or provide any taxpayer funded service to any illegal alien.  No free education for their children, no social security, no unemployment insurance, and in fact no insurance at all.  It would be a crime for an illegal to apply for or obtain any official documents such as a driving license, passport, Medicare card, etc.  It would be a crime for any illegal to have a bank account, credit card or any other financial instrument issued by a US institution. 

          Hospitals would be barred from providing any other than acute trauma treatment to any illegal alien.  It would be a crime to fail to report the presence of an illegal alien, or any attempt by an illegal alien to circumvent any provisions of the law.

          An illegal alien who committed any crime would be ineligible for probation or parole of community corrections etc.  Upon completion of whatever sentence he received he would be immediately deported to his country of origin, without any right of appeal.

          Any illegal alien who was once deported or convicted of a crime in the US would be forever barred from entering the US for any reason.

          Any illegal alien who was deported and was again found in the US would receive a substantial prison sentence, and be deported again.

          It should go without saying that any American who hires, pays, employs or receives any services from any illegal alien will be subject to serious penalties.  As will any American who aids any alien to enter the country illegally, or provides any assistance in aid of illegal immigration or illegal immigrants.

          This should pretty much remove all incentives to come to this country illegally.  Of course it would have to be enforced.

          Also I would provide free transportation to the border to any illegal who applied, no questions asked.

          And another point:  The fact the the “Hispanic” community doesn't like it only implies that they are not law abiding citizens.  If all politicians would ignore the “Hispanic vote” it would be meaningless.  To clarify: if no politician supported your position, who would you vote for?  If no politician promised your group special favors in exchange for your vote, who would you vote for?

          It is only the greed for votes that encourages politicians to make promises to special interest groups.  If no politician did so, there would be no special interest groups.  At least none with any political power.

          Of course this would require congressmen of integrity and principle.  Unlike the present crop of ego maniacal greed driven specimens now in office.  Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

          The bottom line is that the “immigration problem” is insoluble under present circumstances.  So you might as well get used to higher taxes, fewer services, lower wages, and all the smart money fleeing the country.  Fortunately I will be dead before it gets intolerable here.  I just feel sorry for the young, who will have to live through the coming disaster.
