Read this and then ask yourself this about immigration: When will enough be enough?
Answer:
The best way to curb immigration would be for Mexico to come up with ways to try keep it's people there. The reason we have so many illegal immigrants is because their country doesn't care about it's citizens enough to let them make enough money to have a decent home life.
It is impossible to believe that there aren't enough intelligent business people to bring there country into the 21st century economically.
If the people were coming from somewhere uninhabitable, like Siberia, I would not see a problem, but holy crap! Alot of people go to vacation in Mexico!
Better yet, maybe you should ask yourself, who's going to pay for Social Security when the rest of the baby-boomers retire?
A large percentage of illegals pay taxes now, why not give them a chance to become legal and get more tax payers on the tax rolls.
If you think we are overpopulated, suggest you cruise through the south west end of Texas and check out some of the new ghost towns, or maybe Nebraska, were they are losing there population in many cities.
At least think about it!
It is enough. It has been enough for the last 7 years.
And actually, given statistics of combined nations, global population is gradually declining, due to fewer births which are not outweighing deaths.
.
where have you been? we have already reached the 300 million mark. our schools are already considered 3rd world education. we will eventually be over populated, it's now starting to effect us.
Damn is spelled with an "n", btw.
The main thing isn't about immigration, it's about age. If immigration lowers our average age, then I and many others born in the 1948 - 1964 timeframe will be very grateful.
I agree with you but where does the blame lie on the mexicans who come into this country DEMANDING we change our laws to suit them or to our administration who is doing nothing about it.Hell, you can walk into just about any store in yuma az and buy something with a mexican flag on it. That says welcome matt to me.Also there are 3 boirder patrol agents in jail as we speak for trying to keep illegals out, we are like cancer to our own people.
Most of Americans that are raising a fuss about illegal immigrants - state that the illegals are taking jobs from US citizens, and are causing health care cost ect.. to rise - where were the complaints when the big corporations moved the high paying jobs with great benefits, out of the United States to countries like Japan, China, India, ect.. ? Our Republican dominated government (back then) even gave these companies Tax breaks to do it! - Done deal, with out much protest !
Now that the jobs are overseas the companies that are still here need cheaper labor to compete with these off shore & forein companies - so, the smaller companies here are now using third party recruiting agency's (so they are not culpable for fake documents) which pay very low wages (unless the job is a "technical" job), some even go as far as importing workers from outside the USA, and for the hard labor jobs - like construction ect.. Americans want too much (if you know anything about the industry Contractors bid on the work) - So, guess who's rebuilding all the States damaged by Hurricanes, floods, fires, ect.. - back to the irony of it all - most of the complainers are wanna be Republicans, they don't know that it's only the elite "True Believers", the Cheney's, Bush's, Rove's that benefit from this "New World Order" one government ideology - they're like sheep being lead to the slaughter.
Another irony is that these wanna be Republicans need only do what they say they are best at - read your bible, it's all old news.
IMMIGRATION IS GOOD BECAUSE IT KEEPS THE POPULATION YOUNG ENOUGH.JUST LOOK AT CHINA AND THEIR NO IMMIGRATION POLICIES AND ONE CHILD POLICIES.
I always knew it was about racism and not just illegal immigration didn't you?
As a US citizen I have had the experiences of marrying a canadian citizen and visiting the poorest parts of mexico also. After seeing the conditions that the mexican people go through, I cannot in my heart blame them for wanting to run. The problem we are trying to solve here is not whether they should come over the border or not. It is all a matter of how. My husband has spent 6 years of his life and well over 5,000$ to come into this country legally. His residence interview and his citizenship interview have been pushed back from the normal wait times while the government tries to accomodate those who are here illegally. On top of that the fees have increased over 300% from before 9/11. That does not include the attorney's fees. On top of that My husband is a skilled laborer and could easily get a good construction job. But in the US he can't. Why? He is an immigrant (and an italian-looking one at that). Apparently, any person who is an immigrant is not worth what his skills and experience profess. He is an immigrant. Company's have over-looked him, passed him over, or blatantly offered him less money than his counter-parts. He is legal, but that does not matter. He is a hard worker with skills, but that does not matter. All they see is immigrant. Apparently Canada's labor force has no skill in the US Employers eyes. Can I blame the illegals for that? YES! Why hire a legal when there are illegals just across the train tracks who will do it for half the cost? But on the other hand 'half cost' to an illegal is sometimes big bucks in comparisan to where they came from. This debate has lobbyists in the fray for monetary gains only. Don't be fooled. At the same time, what does the legal process do for weeding out the good from the bad immigrants. If I am not mistaken, the terrorists were "legal". What is congress's answer to that? Higher fees and longer wait times? Give me a break. So how do we fix something that is not working on either side? Scrap it and start over. Illegals would be more inclined to cross over to the legal side if the fees were not so high, the wait times for being able to work and make a living were not so long. Illegals would be more inclined to cross over to the legal side if there were not any profit savy companies around to employ, abuse, and under-pay them. It is these companies that keep them coming. Punish them for starters. Force them to retro-pay for all the cheap labor they employ or employed. Use that retro-pay to fund tightening the border and building a system that keeps track of everyone who comes across our borders, whether by plane, train, boat, car, horseback, or foot. Document everyone without recourse. Then sort out the bad from good apples. You commit a crime, you get sent back to whatever spit of land you came from whether the crime is small or large. The legal immigrants have decent jobs. The higher wages give our economy a boost. Companies who make practice of abusing and under-paying illegals will be punished severly and should be put out of business. Those who want to enter the USA will have no choice but to get documented to get a job. Where there is no water, there is no fish. And Immigrants should not have to fear the government deporting them for any reason, but they should fear and respect the law.
