May 16, 2006 While the President is looking for that middle ground, trying to be the great statesman, the situation is still detororating. And it will continue to do so until we take the situation seriously. The President acknowledged that our southern border has been a mess for decades, and he spoke like a man who had just had an epiphany when he said securing our borders was a basic right of a soverign nation. Yeah, tell that to Vincente Fox and the Aztlan crowd. His five point plan does have some good points, but they don't go far enough, and most likely will never be enforced anyway. Six thousand national guardsmen are not enough. Why not take soldiers out of, say, Germany? A country where our troops are not wanted or needed and deploy them to the southern border? That would slow the human flood to a trickle in a hurry. Just as important is building a security wall along the entire border, not just a fence in some sections. Such a wall would be more effective, and would be cheaper in the long run. A wall would cut down the need for border agents. That's agents we don't need to hire and pay. Holding employers accountable is an important part of handling illegal immigration, but a near impossible one. New I.D. cards can be forged, as employees won't look to closely at them, or care if they are forgeries, or if immigrants have one at all. Employers want employees, not new regulations from Washington so the employers will ignore it. Since it will be ignored by the employers the courts and Washington will decide they can't punish every business so they won't punish any at all. A temporary worker program won't be temporary at all. How many people come to this country on a student visa and never left? Can we ensure that temporary workers will leave the country? Of course not. This is a big country, easy to hide in. Once the federal government realizes these people aren't leaving they won't even bother to ask them to go. The idea of assimilation is a noble one, but an idea that diead with multiculturalism. Try getting left wing teachers unions to agree to english only education, or leftist activists to accept english only ballots or english as a prerequisite for citizenship. Most likely the President and the Senate will force this onto a reluctant house, and an even more reluctant American people. The Amnesty will go through and any enforcement clauses will be ignored or written out of the final bill. This is simply a replay of the 1986 amnesty. Americans were promised border security in exchange for amnesty of three million Mexicans. Now we are essentially being asked to Amnesty 12 million illegal immigrants and to trust them on enforcement. What this is going to amount to is our own government selling us out. ------------ About the author: Craig Chamberlain has written more than 100 articles for Useless-Knowledge.com.
