Blanket Amnesty for Illegal Aliens

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Don’t be fooled by the hype - the new, joint immigration legislation is nothing more than a blanket amnesty being granted to the 12 million illegal immigrants already in this country that allows up to 8 million more to come into the country via technicalities. If this is the best that our country can do on immigration reform, then we’ve failed at this aspect of existence.

Immigration reform is simple - you secure the borders (maybe use some of those billions of dollars that are being used in a desert half a world away to pay for it), you limit the amount of people coming in each year to a reasonable amount (less than 500,000), and you assimilate new immigrants into the country before you take in the next crop. Assimilation is the key to the entire immigration debate and the main reason why so many Americans are sick to their stomach with the entire issue.

Think about this convoluted situation - you have illegal aliens who are calling the rest of us a “nation of immigrants” in order to justify their presence on our soil. We - this mythical nation of immigrants (I’m certainly not an immigrant nor is my family) - talk about the pride in America that we have and the pride in our nation’s history that we stand on. Then the illegals walk in American streets waiving OTHER COUNTRIES’ FLAGS and tell us that we are xenophobic!!!

No, stupid. We’re not xenophobic! We’re descendants of immigrants who came to America to be AMERICANS! They assimilated into American society and embraced it as their own. Many generations later, here we are as their heirs and the pro-illegal immigrant lobby is trying to guilt us into agreeing with blanket amnesty by comparing our ancestors to the law-breakers who cross our southern border. How revolting is that?

And what’s just mind-boggling is how any Republican would vote for this bill. I’m not harping for them or anything, but every single major national election in the last few years has been won by less than 10 million votes. Most have seen victory margins of 3 or 4 million at best. The overwhelming majority of Latinos vote Democratic for one reason or another - in essence, the Republican Party will kill itself off in the next 10 years by granting this amnesty and continuing to have an unchecked immigration system where there is no cap on how many people can come to this country. How stupid is that?

The only decent thing to come out of this joint legislation is the creation of 370-miles worth of a border fence before any of the amnesty legislations kicks in. That’s a good start for our 1,951-mile long border with Mexico, but not nearly enough.
