Re: Immigration -- Common Sense is Wrong?

[waxthis]

Plain and simple......

"

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'

I've been maintaining that the fix is to illegal immigration is to make legal immigration easy.

Wrong.

1.We have 8 Guest worker programs now. Why spend billons more on yet another bureacracy when the first 8 worker programs are not respected?

2. We allow 2 million people into this country ANNUALLY and LEGALLY. More than all the nations of the world COMBINED.
We are easy. We need a moratorium on immigration, especially from third world and developing nations.

3. Americans with only high school diplomas will take more from the system than put in, so you want to import people/pverty from the third world nations with only 5th grade educations plus their extended families?
Nah, we are saturated, or haven't you noticed? Now we are having problems with immigration, immigrants(Times Square bomb?) and illegal aliens by the millions.

4. The only thing wrong with our immigration system is the enforcement of immigration law.

5. We need to practice exclusivity, not inclusivity.

Also, we made immigration easy in 1986's Immigration Reform Act. The "never again" amnesty. It doesn't get any easier than that. Now look were we are presently.
Jesus H. man, speaking of common sense........

Apparently, the City Council of San Diego has issued a boycott against all of Arizona due to AZ's recent illegal immigration law. Now, AZ is fighting back and the people of San Diego are crying foul.

That has tourism officials urging Arizonans to consider the resolutions as merely symbolic and local politics at work.

"We're in a very tough environment already because of everything else going on, and we don't need another negative impact to our industry," ConVis President Joe Terzi told the Union-Tribune. "This affects all the hardworking men and women who count on tourism for their livelihoods, so we’re saying, don't do something that hurts their livelihoods."

It's as simple as this: Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'. You've got a city versus a state. Who do you think is going to lose the most here?

It certainly is a demographic invasion. But one isn't allowed to say such things these days.

RACIST!

Whoops. Sorry, had a "liberal moment".

I agree 100% with what you say!
