RANT WARNING!!!!!

I expect to get severely flamed because I think I am one of the very few DUers that is against illegal immigration. And I warn you that if you favor illegal immigration, you are in for an earful. And you are not going to like it.

But let me tell you the reality. If you favor illegal immigration, then you are supporter of Bush's free-trade agenda. You are a supporter of slave labor. And you are an enemy of the middle class.

I am not racist. I am not against LEGAL immigration. I couldn't care any less what your skin color is. I think it is great that other people are coming to America. It makes us all smarter. But these countless millions of illegals from Mexico, who obviously have no respect for our laws or nation, are not coming here to build computer chips in Silicon Valley. They are not coming here to fill our prescriptions in a pharmacy. They are coming here to feed off our welfare system. All these people coming from Mexico are broke! In my city, they just raided a single family home that had 30 (THIRTY!!!!!!) people living in it. All 30 people were illegal aliens.

I've seen people getting laid off after giving years of service to a company. Why? Becuase some illegal alien will work for half the pay, work twice as much, and have no benefits. I don't need studies to show that. I don't need statistics. I have seen that happen with my own eyes!!!
I have read estimates from several sources that to take care of all the illegal immigrats, it will cost each American taxpayer $100,000 over the course of their lives. Since most Americans can't afford $100,000. Where are we going to get the money from to take care of these people? The national debt?
Allowing these Mexicans in here illegally is a corporate agenda to drive down the average wage, bust the unions, and cut benefits. If we allow illegal immigration to continue and allow the Republicans to push through these free trade agreements, the corporations are going to be saving BILLIONS of dollars at the expense of the average worker. And at the same time, it will sink this nation.

And there is more...

The border patrol reports 100's of incursions by the Mexican military, gangs, and drug cartels every single year. What does our stupid government do about it? NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Go to a city like Nuevo Laredo. There is drug violence in the streets constantly. And police can't control it anymore.

So yes. If you support this stupid policy of illegal immigration, you are a Bush supporter in my book. Because only a Bushie could support a policy this fucking stupid!

END RANT

My plan? We need to do several things...
I say we clamp down the border. If it needs a fence...so be it. If it needs military to shut down the cartels and human trafficking...so be it. If we need to pull troops out of Iraq to do the job...even better. That's the first step. Next, start going after the corporations. Any corporation that knowingly hires an illegal alien will face SEVERE fines and such company forfeits any tax breaks. We need to make it so that a company that fires an American worker to hire illegals at cheaper labor costs will pay dearly for that move. Next, you cannot become a US citizen unless you first go back to Mexico or wherever you came from and wait at the end of the line.

If you take away their jobs and their social services...believe me...they will go back to Mexico. We cannot take care of Mexico's problems. That's not our responsibility. We have homeless people in the streets that I drive by coming home from work every single day. And we can't even help those people. Yet you want to allow 100 million poor from Mexico in here?

Just like Iraq...we cannot go around the world saving everyone from the hells of a dictatorship and poverty. People need to learn to start standing up and saving themselves. Only Mexicans can save their country. We can't. And instead of electing a man that would help Mexico, those people down there elect a president that will kiss Bush's ass and give a big hug to corporate America. So in my opinion, they can all burn in the poverty hell they voted for.
