I have been back and forth on this whole Illegal Immigration issue and Bush's proposed Guest worker Program ever since its inception. Congress has been dilly dallying around with the bill and is coming off a 2 week hiatus called "Easter Break." We all obviously know by now how big of a controversy this has become and all the mass rallies that are taking place is pretty indicative of what Illegal Immigrants feel on this issue. Like any illegal would, they want a piece of the American Pie. As I have looked at this issue from various angles, a few points seem very glaring. 1) The claim that many people seem to make is that The US wants to finance its losses in Iraq by issuing temp work visas and thus racking in millions through taxes.Exercising a fine and taxing each Illegal once they get reinstanted, should bring in a healthy stream of future cash flows for the country. If this was true, the bill would not struggle as badly as it has with pretty much everybody divided on this thing. 2) The left wing media and Interest Groups are using a mass coersion technique by portraying the Illegal Immigration issue from a very humanistic perspective, infact reffering to them as Immigrants as opposed to Illegal Immigrants. The idea here is to make people feel guilty. Now, why should anyone feel guilty if they want to secure their borders and stop importing poverty and crime. Illegal Immigration at an Aggregate does not import crime, but poverty and economic deprivity fosters an enviornment for "potential" crime and social strain. 3) Various liberal Institutions and Individuals point their fingers to Corporate greed and a desire to lower Labor costs as the driving force behind, not Immigration as a whole but the escalation of Immigration, mainly Illegal Immigration. However, when you look at the tail end of this saga, there is political instability, corruption, dysfunctional and inept governments that don't address their respective countries grassroot problems effectively, thus perpetuating this vicious cycle. 4) I think the most sensitive and delicate issue in this debate is the Interpretation , Understanding and digestion of Laws, their implentations and how these Laws are loosely or tightly interpreted to facilitate political and social upheavels and crisis'. These are fundamental questions that ask how, someone who broke a so called Law several times repeatedly at various capacities can be given something that violates the code of Law that applies to everybody else? Democracy means freedom of speech and the right to express oneself, Under the US Constitution, but how many of those Illegals voicing their opinions and waiving their own flags have any sort of legal right to do so? As far as the implementation of Law is concerned I think, to a law abiding citizen in ideology, this situation has facilitated the rapid demise of the governments credibility. They ought to step up to the plate and stop this nonsense, of asking for something that "BY law" they donot have the right to. The left wing media should stop propogating the idea that disrupting this mass immigration movement would be draconian. If America grants Amensty, how will they prevent another huge illegal migration from happening again? It will encourage more people to exploit the loopholes of the country and undermine the creators and regulators of law. We blame Capitalism and Greedy corporations for harvesting this field of laborers, but the US Government taxes, fines and regulates Corporations all the time so its not like they get a free lunch. Illegal Immigrants in my conclusion are Free Riders. This problem needs to be addressed swiftly, and a policy that eventually filters these people and tightens the system to minimize influx is in the best interest of the country in the Long Run.
