I know.
I was listening to WABC radio last weekend and they had NYC mayor Bloomberg on.
Besides being a RINO asshat he basically took "the glass is half empty" stand and said the same thing.
Too many illegals to deport.
I got angry and thought about all the great accomplishments this country has achieved over the years and and to hear him whine about that shit got me even more angrier.
I'm not saying we should send JBTs around to kick in peoples doors but when illegals are identified they should be deported.
IMHO here is what we need to do:
1. Close the borders now. The politicians promised to do this after the amnesty of 1986 and they lied to us. Who says they won't lie to us again with this amnesty.
2. Build the wall along the Mexican borders and heavily patrol it with rotations of NG troops. Do whatever it takes to keep them from returning once we have identified and gotten rid of them.
3. When illegals are identified, by whatever means, convict them of felonies and deport them. Those with felony convictions lose their right to ever come to this country lawfully.
4. Stop talking about how great this country was/is due to immigration. That's past history. I see this country currently as more of a salad bowl than a melting pot anyway. The melting pot cliche only applied when we had immigrants interested in assimilating into our culture. The current ones don't seem to be interested. Why should they? When we publish the drivers license test in 50 languages we are just enabling their bad behavior. The ones we have now, by evidence of their preferece for Mexican flags over American flags, don't want to assimilate they want their little own little enclave. If this keeps up the country will end up "Balkanized." It should be a privilage to be allowed to immigrate to this country and we should only accept the best and brightest, which by the way are also the demographic that won't tax our already overtaxed welfare and benefits system. Basically, if you want to come here, you should be educated and willing and able to work.
5. Get rid of by-country Immigration quotas. We only take the best and brightest. You want to be an American? Compete against everyone else who wants to come here. Other countries do it, colleges do it, why shouldn't we? See #4 above.
6. The official language of the US should be English. Learn it. I don't expect all first generation immigrants to be instant experts but ESOL classes should be given and people made to attend as much as possible as a condition of their immigration contract.
7. Stop talking all this shit about "they are only coming here to do jobs Americans won't do." That is lazy liberal propaganda. These people live under the radar and have to take lower wages because of it. How can legal Americans compete with that? The real truth is These people come here to do the jobs that Americans don't want to do for $6 an hour....period!. Employers take advantage of them and should be punished for doing so when they are identified. The simple truth is the economic principals of supply and demand. If no legal Americans are willing to be dishwashers for less than $8 an hour....that is what we should be paying them. The employers then pass the increased costs onto the customers.
More to come once I cool off a bit.
