Immigration and the Evil Empire
Hello Fellow citizens. Today 30 April 2007 as I was getting interviewed about my book on Philosophy on WAOK CBS Radio 1380 AM I was asked this question by the Honorable Shelly Wynter (Radio Host/Talk Show) about the Immigrants. What do you think should be done about the illegal immigrant problem (mostly Hispanics) in America today? I have since had time to ponder the question and these are my personal thought on this controversial topic.
The Immigration dilemma in the U.S. now is a tough situation. This is brought about a civil war like mentality to the masses. It’s a “it’s us or them mentality,” and it is stifling and exasperating the troublesome situation. I personally have friends that are the so-called illegal aliens that are hard working decent people. Who what only one thing to live a good life with food, shelter, and happiness for their families and themselves.
Say that the shoe is on the other foot. You are that man or that woman and your family is literally starving, (kids, mother/father, grandmother/grandfather, etc…) living in a destitute town where you are treated like cattle and right across a knee deep shallow river lies prosperity and a future for you and your suffering family. Please tell me what would you do??? Any descent type of man or woman will not sit by and let their family waste away and be destroyed and enslaved right before their eyes. Really even if you had the tiniest of chances to began a new life would not not take that risk? What if you did not to take the risk could you bear the thought of your family dying because you simply do not have money in your possession? Personally I could not live with that. Especially when millions of your brothers and sisters dared to take the risk and succeeded. Come on People this is not a overnight fix that a mass deportation will remedy.
If you are an American Citizen you are constantly bombarded with images of wealth and how much of it that we have. If you were born somewhere else you would not see those images you would see tin shacks, ground wells, and no plumbing. To others the lives of our poorest citizens mirrors a utopia. To try to force them out would be like prohibition of alcohol and that definitely didn’t work. It gave rise to organize crime that is still a thorn in our sides and abolishing the immigrants will create a big underworld demand for people with the hopes of freedom and a future.
The Solution:
The biggest complaint from my fellow Americans is that the immigrants take away all the jobs. First of all in ten years the America economy will be a complete bust for nearly everyone because the government allows all of the big job creating corporate entities move the jobs to cheap labor camps far from U.S. borders, this is where the jobs are disappearing to. If they do this then tariffs(taxes) need to go directly to the American People with just a tiny portion going to a already free flow spending greedy government to subsidize of dwindling incomes or stop trading here or be fined which also goes to subsidize the citizens. Next create thousands of new jobs make jobs for the poor and disenfranchised American citizens to work in ways to legally faze in the immigrants and make sure these are Americans that are poor. This would create jobs like building housing and processing buildings (construction), education for the poor that need to fill the job positions, saving billions of our tax dollars on arresting and shipping illegal immigrants away and so on.
Peace needs to be the forefront of our politics in this matter not hatred and slave master mentalities that make immigrants suffer in a limbo of quasi citizen and indentured slavery from people who would not suffer them their civil liberties as fellow human beings.
