New blog: Mother's Against Madnesshttp://geocities.com/mothersmadness
A new and I think very much needed group and their blog. Do go by and see what these people have to say. Their first topic is immigration. So naturally BB had to add her bit. LOL
**********************************
I have blogged on this topic so much and debated every topic above to some extent. If interested see my blog at http://triadblogs.com/BrendaFayBowers under the Category: Immigration. Or see my blog at http:///BrendaBowers.wordpress.com as I have been experiencing trouble with the first blog site.
Several comment:
4. It is the law of the land that any child born on American soil is automatically an American citizen. Pregnant women have forever taken terrible chances to get into this country to have their babies here so that they then can remain as the baby's relative and caretaker. They of course also become eligible to apply on the baby's behalf for welfare.
One can hardly blame the women as I, and I am sure you too, would try to get a much better life for your child. The need for greater and much better border security to stop this action at the source.
1. Border security: Robert Frost said it best, "good fences make good neighbors". It has to start here with a good and secure fence. The problem is that many ranchers on the border are fighting the building of the fence. So the representatives in Congress of these well off ranchers who operate with immigrant labor are allowing for actual "holes" or entries to be left in the fence now being built.
2. Employing illegal aliens: all you say above is true. Here again big companies and big ranchers and farmers making big money off of the cheap immigrant labor and "buying" Congressmen. We really can't blame the immigrants for wanting the work because if your family was starving you would cross the border for a job too. Most when asked really don't want to come to the United States. This is especially true of Hispanics who are very family oriented and have to leave these families when they come here. They would stay home if they had the jobs there. This is the fault of the ever corrupt Central and South American governments which goes back to the early days of the colonies when only a few migrated to these areas and became the rich land owners who used the native populations to become rich thus creating a two layered population: the very rich and the extremely poor with no middle class. The United States and Canada on the other hand were populated with immigrants wishing to bring their families and settle the land as their own. The native populations were exploited not for their labor which wasn't wanted, but they were forced off their land which was. That is how and why our country grew as a multi-leveled society that could thrive and compete with enough jobs for our people that they didn't have to immigrate across borders for the very food on their tables. European counties are having this same immigrant problem with people coming from the Middle East and Africa.
3. We must make some laws in which those immigrants here can become citizens. The one proposed whereby they return to their own country and then apply and be given preference was down right stupid! Many of our illegal immigrants have been in this country for 20 or 30 years. This then IS their country and in no way are they going to submit to going back where they have no family and reapplying to come back. The system needs to be changed to allow these people to start the process towards gaining citizenship just as if they had come here legally. Otherwise they will remain hidden and illegal.
After A time for enrollment in this system any registered immigrant arrested for a felony is to be given a one way ticket out of our country Any immigrant not registered and arrested for anything should be sent back across the border.
We can not possibly round them all up and transport them but we certainly can transport them when we have them in custody. Now we just let them go.
5. We can't let these people starve or die on our streets, but we don't have to do what we are doing. After the immigrants are registered in the citizenship program they can get help. The help they can get however should be limited and only the very basic aid should be offered to those who are adults and not in the citizenship program.
One point: We tend to think of the Hispanics as taking advantage of our social system but the fact is the Hispanic illegal aliens are the least likely to do this because they certainly don't want to be caught. The people who most abuse the social system are the ones who initially were legal immigrants. They come into the country legally and then bring over their parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. These "tag along" people then immediately apply for Social Security and Medicare and food stamps which they never paid a dime into and in my opinion should not be entitled to until and unless they become citizens.
I have over stayed. (Their site only gives commenters 4000 words. This isn't very many for BB who believes why use one word when ten will do!) Anyhow I really don't have to continue here since most of my readers have read my many posts on this subject. BB
