I look at those that want the cheap labor from Mexico as being enablers to the real criminals in the immigration farce.  They are just looking to continue the exploitation of those poor people that their own country with all of it’s tremendous resources – Ports on both the Pacific and Atlantic (by way of the Caribbean), extensive natural resources (oil, agriculture) has abandoned in favor of supporting drug dealers and human smugglers and lining their own corrupt kleptomaniac pockets as they continue to loot that country.

This “cheap” labor is just one more exploration of those poor people since their labor generates Mexico’s second largest source of hard currency when they send their money back to their poor families in that hell hole that Spring breakers go to party in.

There is a huge demand when we are at full employment and then it’s easy to look the other way as those people are exploted for others benefit.

In also allows American business to keep wages artificially low thereby by their use of that illegal labor.

Put that visual in your mind next time you think that Amnesty is about helping those that are down.  Want to help them?  Help them take back their own country so that they can provide for their families without being our indentured servants.

Does the current immigration system need to be fixed.  Sure.  Is opening the borders the answer?  I don’t think so.  We would probably see a number of countries depopulated if we did that.  Currently “legal” immigration allows for almost 1 million per year to obtain residency.

I’m not “opposed” to Amnesty.  I just don’t want to see  repeat of 1986 where the weak politicians say amnesty now and will do enforcement later.  The amnesty did happen but as usual the Politicians kicked the can down the road and the enforcement. Well, they never got around to it.

Close the damn door to ILLEGAL immigration, liberalize the immigration quotas and THEN we can talk about Amnesty.  I was at a clients office today.  He is a very prominent Immigration Attorney here in Phoenix.  While he is decidedly not happy about 1070 he did say it will do what it’s drafters intended.  Attrition Through Enforcement.  That concept will result in there needing to be few amnesties handed out.

Arizona has already seen a huge decline in the illegal population to do the stepped up immigration sweeps and the downturn in the economy.  Many have returned to Mexico as well as moved to other surrounding states.

The idea of the “white mans burden” is so 19th Century.  I guess the Democrats are still pursuing their goal of Manifest Destiny.  Last seen when that party was pursuing a war with what Country?  Oh that’s right Mexico.

The more things change…
