OPINION: Dealing With The Illegals Matter
Submitted by George McClellan
The flood of illegal emigrants invited by Joe Biden to cross our southern border with Mexico is a national security issue that will adversely affect America — forever. The growing crisis of the masses of diseased, uneducated denizens of third world countries, and genuine spies and terrorists from others is, while encouraged by the Biden administration, basically being ignored by the media as a news item worthy of concern. It is not going unnoticed by other concerned elements that fear for our countries future. Some Leftist sponsored NGOs are abetting the flood with goods and services while others are fearful of it reporting why the flood is allowed to continue, what it portends for the future and how it can be stopped and reversed. Asking why its allowed to continue raises the fear of being called a racist. Crisis and fear are two operating words the Democrats use to control the population. Thats changing with the realization of the coming economic disaster the millions of illegals are creating!
Many of the illegals, when interviewed by real journalists, claim that they came because Joe Biden invited them and had a T shirt to prove it and they came to find meaningful employment to support their families back home until they can get their families here legally under US Laws. In fact, immigrants seeking employment opportunities is the disqualifying element that should get them headed back home. Amnesty is the preferred answer Biden wants to justify their entry across our borders and many have been schooled to say it. But, amnesty from what? Its interesting to note that in interviews of those illegals coached to give the proper answer, not one said they fled their home countries because of political and/or religious persecution. Not one! They were all looking for work and they got across anyway, sort of on parole. Its a mystery that these poor sots coming here claiming they suffered political and religious persecution at home dont realize that its here in the good ol USA, where they will face religious and political persecution by Bidens new gestapo, the shameless FBI.
Mayors of todays dysfunctional Blue sanctuary cities in dysfunctional Blue sanctuary states are shocked by the unexpected influx of illegals sent there by border state governors. They say its creating an intolerable burden on the citys dwindling resources. NYC is fast losing its tax base as companies flee the imposition of the radical Lefts increasing demands on their pocket books. If you own a hotel in NYC you can become wealthy renting out rooms to the city for their sanctuary claimants and when the buildings are ultimately trashed and no longer habitable, you can just walk away. What work is available here for illiterate peons who dont speak English? We already have decades of earlier immigrants filling the rolls of home and apartment cleaners. Hungry young men without prospects see the streets of New York, Chicago and other American Blue towns as safe employment prospects assaulting people walking the streets, home invasions and armed robberys. That will fill their survival needs with more violent acts that will further precipitate the exodus from the Blue cities taking their source of revenue with them. Its a vicious circle. Today, we see machines harvesting fields of crops in an hour that would take a field full of Latin laborers toiling under a hot sun could in a week. These problems come because Democrats and big corporations think they see a need for cheap labor but, its really because the Democrats need more voters and will pay any price, suffer any indignity and blame somebody else just to keep their dictatorial powers.
In days of yore, long, long ago, when Americans still believed in a great America, Presidents Hoover, Truman and Eisenhower each faced a glut of illegals problem they solved by mass deportations, rounding em up, including many Europeans, former Nazis, and illegal Mexican farm workers. As a post war lad growing up in agricultural rich Southern California, I was acquainted with the very successful annual Bracero program that permitted contracted Mexican farm workers access to the US for the harvesting season. Most came not as individuals (illegals) but as contracted employees hired by farm co-op’s giving them employment. They were brought to basic housing encampments, the one in my area being a former Italian POW camp, where they were provided adequate housing and food staples. Some, as singles and even families, moved from farm to farm harvesting crops mostly citrus groves in my area, then moved north all the way through Washington State as the harvest season progressed and the local jobs were finished. When the picking season ended they were bussed home again, enmass, with a pocket full of cash. The braceros were well treated, seemed satisfied with the arrangement because when they returned home, they were financially settled in their own communities. Most returned year after year but as the groves disappeared with the need for increased housing that sucked up available land, the need for the bracero harvesters in Southern California ended. Colorado still uses Mexican harvesters but I think the Bracero program is over.
The flood of illegal immigrants isnt over though and our society cannot afford to accommodate em any longer. We know how to fix the problem but weve been conned into feeling sorry for em and of course, were told an economically powerful country like America can surely help em out, or some such silly idea like that. Never mind the rules, Its not who we are! BS!
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way.Now, go get em! (16May23)
