Previous amnesty of illegal immigrants brought more abuse
Paul Weyland
Those that proclaim and advocate amnesty for the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens alleged to be in the United States are either remarkably unperceptive or more than likely, pursuing their own self interest.
Amnesty advocates can never explain how the process stops. They don't like to be reminded that the 1986 amnesty of 2.7 or 3 million resulted in the illegal-made-legal moving on and leaving their menial jobs and being replaced by the "new illegal alien" in greater numbers, no doubt in large part with the expectation of another future amnesty.
A great lesson is in one of the fairly recent but rare Immigration and Customs Enforcement employer investigations in the Swift packing case that took place in part in Texas. A Texas manager of the packing plant was revealed to have been a 1986 illegal alien who was granted amnesty. What did he do for employees at his plant? Why he [allegedly] hired illegal aliens to work at the plant of course. What a surprise!
Unfortunately even if the border could be completely closed off tomorrow, something that is virtually impossible, a great number of people would still become illegal by virtue of overstaying their visa issuances just as the hijackers of 9/11. This fact alone is the reason amnesty is not prudent and only intensifies the effort to come to the United States. The only answer then becomes an aggressive enforcement policy, something I will address and elaborate on at a later date.
Rest assured, that if amnesty was granted tomorrow, the same people crying for the illegal alien masses today would then immediately ask why the new illegal was left out the day after amnesty was given, the week after, the month after, the year after and on and on and on ad nauseam. Also be assured that if those that want perpetual amnesty had to pay out of their own personal funds to support the "illegals," rather than through our collective taxes, there would be a lot of hands in pockets and whistling in the air as they furtively tried to find the nearest exit. Instead, the costs of illegal aliens are absorbed through your taxes and mine.
In reality, Third World people by and large understand from their own governments what a "fix," a "bribe" or "mordida" means. That is their interpretation of amnesty. Allowing people to illegally enter the country, use counterfeit documents and all the while receive health care, receive an education for the children as well as being eligible for tax refunds does not really make for great character development in granting legal status and in eventually becoming a potential candidate to be a citizen of the United States.
Those that say illegal aliens are merely present day immigrants are only trying to carry out their own agenda, usually of a political or economic nature. The "real immigrants" of yesteryear did not receive entitlements such as hospitalization and welfare eligibility. The "real immigrants" of today have to meet certain standards and qualifications.
I worked at the U.S. embassy in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, many years ago and met one of the greatest and most patriotic advocates for the USA though he was never allowed to become a citizen of the United States. He was a white Russian who escaped the communist takeover of his country. He worked with the United States Information Service and would have loved to immigrate to the U.S. and become a citizen. He was otherwise eligible to immigrate but for one very big reason. He had a child [that would have been in need of special health services] that by law made the family likely to become a public charge and therefore prevented his lawful entry into the U.S.
Ellis Island for many years also turned away many desiring to come to the United States. Those that had diseases and were found to have criminal records were turned away. The Statue of Liberty symbol isn't thought of in terms of exclusion, but it has always been about legal admittance. Anything else is a sham. Anything resembling amnesty with regard to immigration translates to "shamnesty."

What year or years did the 12,000,000 to 30,000,000 Illegal aliens start to come into are country? It seems to me that in my part of the country they have made there numbers known in the last six or seven years. does that make Dubya a liberal?What president in the last twenty years has granted amnesty to the largest number of illegals? 0 -
if the majority of Americans don't like illegals taking over then why do they keep voting back the same politicians that have created this mess???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 0 -

Exactly. I believe in negative voting... vote against the incumbent who failed to represent my key beliefs - regardless of who the opponent is. This will convey the message that "if you don't vote the way your electorate wants, you're out".
Not what the founders had in mind, but since our elected "representatives" so often fail to represent our wishes, maybe the only way to get the process back on track.0
