This one's a hot potato! Something has struck me like the proverbial tri-tip from the sky about this rather controversial and emotional issue. In most all of my research and reading on this subject it seems that the majority of the time is comes down to party lines. The Democrats think the Republicans are a bunch of civil rights quashing a-holes and conversely, the Republicans think the Democrats are a bunch of liberal a-holes who want to turn the country over to the illegals. My, my, what a conundrum. To actually think that the two major political parties could disagree on an issue such as this! Rodney King, LA riots after LAPD treated him like a "king"; "Can't we all just get along?" My mind wanders again. I apologize. It does make it a good day to be a Libertarian though.
While obviously illegal immigration is anything but a new problem for this country, some of the solutions proposed for it are, shall we say, at best innovative. They range from the absurd "kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" crowd to the diametrically opposed bunch that says; "give them everything, medical, dental, food stamps, welfare, unemployment benefits, disability pay and build them a cafe at Home Depot so they won't get their heads sunburned while waiting for their prospective law breaking employers to pick them up." Ah,... my sarcasm betrays me again.
The immigration issue has evolved into a political issue that, for the most part, regardless of party affiliation gets swept under the carpet. Out of sight, out of mind. But, not before copious quantities of bullshit are spewed upon us by politicians in both parties in an effort to appease us. And... we're still waiting for what....? Back in April of 2010 Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona signed an immigration bill that, pretty much everyone with an opinion got their shorts in a bunch about, one way or the other. Not much grey area there, you either hated it or loved it. It seems that O'bummer was one who hated it. He referenced it as "misguided" and instructed the Justice Department to investigate if it was illegal. Funny, again, our illustrious self proclaimed Ruler for Life takes the position of a presumption of guilt. Perhaps investigate the legallity of it? O'bummer further stated that the federal government needed to enact reform at the national level or open the door to "irresponsibility" by others. What an incredibly ludicrous statement coming from the King of Irresponsibility! More of his rhetoric and more of his treating us like mushrooms by feeding us bullshit and keeping us in the dark.It totally lends credence to my statement about all you B.S.ing politicians sweeping it under the carpet. Have any of you folks heard anything substantive concerning immigration reforms from that idiot or any of the other idiots in office since, whenever?
The Arizona Immigration Bill would have made it a crime to be in this country illegally. Was this contradictory to Federal Law? I think not, it merely parrots it. It also allows law enforcement to question someone as to their immigration status but only after detaining them with PROBABLE CAUSE. You remember, that pesky little Fourth Amendment thing. The Bill specifically did not allow for and forbade random harassment. My position on this is that if your in this country legally, what the fu*k is your problem? Show them your damn ID and get on with your life! You people have gotten so "politically correct", thinned skinned and oversensitive about everything that I want to puke.
The rub here is that all the bleeding heart liberal groups insist that we're violating their civil rights. WHAT CIVIL RIGHTS YOU RETARDS? Damn there's a boil on my butt. The Bill of Rights, the first Ten Amendments to the U.S. Constitution delineates rights that are reserved for U.S. citizens. The key phrase here is RESERVED FOR UNITED STATES CITIZENS. This is further enhanced by the Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868 so this is not exactly a new concept. Unfortunately the Fourteenth Amendment has it's own inherent drawback. It allows for "anchor babies" which is another topic for another time.
I am by no means against immigration. Legal immigration however, with quotas as to how many people come in per year. First come, first served. I say again, LEGAL IMMIGRATION, the kind my great grand parents and many of yours did. Hell, without immigration the Indians wouldn't be so pissed off at us because we'd all still be living in some overseas country and they'd be trying to figure out what to do with all those penny slots.
There are several proposed solutions for this problem, one of them is to close the borders and put up walls. Not bad actually, quit sending our tax dollars overseas to support some piss ant dictator of a do-da third world country and put all that money into building walls across our borders. How's that for a "create jobs" program Mr. O'bummer? And, instead of sending our troops overseas to the Bush's and O'bummer's no win wars, bivouac them on the borders to ensure the integrity of those "big ass" walls. Wow, what a concept, our troops actually defending American soil. Hmmm... I imagine President Reagan would turn over in his grave about the whole wall thing as he worked so hard to get one torn down.
Well, regardless, there are other possible solutions. A guest worker program,maybe? Fine, come in, properly documented for the day, week or month and do the work that a lot of Americans think they're above doing and then go home. Or, perhaps better training and a whole lot more funding for hiring, training and equipping lots more Border Patrol Agents? Funding for this can come from the obscene TSA and HSD budgets as, for the most part their services will "no longer be required". Sorry gropers, you need to find another source of income. See,... seek and ye shall find a much simpler solution!
And now folks, here's the kicker, again. "We the People" need to get off our collective APATHETIC asses and let the incompetents in office know that we want the immigration problem fixed. Let them know that we don't give a damn if they're on one of their innumerable vacations, recesses, sabbaticals, lunch breaks, looking for a "new friend" in the crapper at DIA or dashing their doodle on the Internet. Nope, don't care. Politicians, it's time for you to start earning your pay and actually work one of the twelve days you've mandated yourselves to work. I know, what a completely insensitive, unreasonable bastard I am to expect someone on my payroll to actually do some work instead of coming up with every idiot assed rationalization to not. It's time for a change folks. But it won't happen without all of us getting involved.
I look forward to your comments. Derran
