The problem with immigration, are the immigrants.

My country used to have a sense of loyalty from its citizens. People used to recite an oath: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. What the hell happened to that? There are people here flying the flags of the country they fled in front of our nation’s capitol; which tells me, their allegiance is to the country they came from not the one they are in. Hey, you don’t have to love America, just don’t come if you don’t. Let us not forget, they came here. This is still the U.S. right? Mexico too could have freedom if they fight for it. We did, remember The Revolution? America has been called a great melting pot, but was that melting pot a statement that America would give up its sovereignty? “Ours perhaps are more peculiar than those of any other in the universe. It is a composition of the freest principles of the English constitution, with others derived from natural right and natural reason. To these nothing can be more opposed than the maxims of absolute monarchies. Yet, from such, we are to expect the greatest number of emigrants. They will bring with them the principles of the governments they leave, imbibed in their early youth; or, if able to throw them off, it will be in exchange for an unbounded licentiousness, passing, as is usual, from one extreme to another. It would be a miracle were they to stop precisely at the point of temperate liberty. These principles, with their language, they will transmit to their children. In proportion to their numbers, they will share with us the legislation. They will infuse into it their spirit, warp and bias its direction, and render it a heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass.”- Thomas Jefferson – John Adams shared this view.

What Jefferson feared is now being realized. Liberty means nothing to those whose generations who are not willing to die for it. The whole concept of freedom is foreign to most of the world! The immigration problems we are suffering today are a result of not learning from the past. Laziness will drive men to a monarchy. We are inundated by the news telling us that “we need our neighbors in the south to do jobs that Americans are not willing to do.” Not willing? What other choice do the not willing to do have; Welfare? According to the World Fact Book the U.S. has a work force of “151.4 million (includes unemployed) (2006 est.)” with “4.8% (2006 est.) unemployed” and “agriculture: 0.9% industry: 20.4% services: 78.6% (2006 est.).” President George Bush has stated “Our Nation deserves an immigration system that secures our borders and honors our proud history as a Nation of immigrants.” Part 2 of his reform includes “By creating a lawful and orderly channel for foreign workers to come to America on a temporary basis, a temporary worker program would help reduce the number of people trying to sneak past the Border Patrol, freeing agents to focus on apprehending violent criminals and terrorists who pose a threat to our security.” And finally “Many organizations, from churches to businesses to civic associations, are already working to answer this call.” So let me see if I have this right: 151.4 citizens, times 4.8 percent unemployed = 7,267,200 with the U.S. Census bureau estimating the population of illegal citizens in America currently at between 12 and 20 million which would average to 16 million. Over twice the population of our unemployed. Tell me how this equates to the price of produce. We pay over 7 million people to not work i.e. the unemployed with 16 million illegals here to work. Would it not be cheaper to deport illegal aliens, let the job market reflect the price, pay Americans more to do the jobs, (which would cut the unemployment rate) stop paying social welfare? Immigration reform in no way is reflecting the Americans who are unwilling to work. I have no problem with people who do not want to work, but I sure as hell should not have to pay them for it. Last, if we are going to allow immigration to this great country should we not at least expect them to speak the language, learn our culture and traditions and make statement of loyalty to our country. This would not be robbing them of their culture, it is simply preserving ours.

On this day: "All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation."
