We control the borders of Kosovo and Iraq on the other side of the world. We can control our own border. It's not as hard as some would have us believe.
It's not the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. If we put in half the effort on our border that we do on that one, we would shut down 99 percent of the illegal immigration into this country.
We built a fence across the border of North and South Korea and stopped all movement of people for 50 years between what for 1,000 years was one nation. Building a fence on our own border is not logistically impossible. In fact, the fence across the California/Mexico border was highly effective and forced illegal immigration eastward to Arizona. In Arizona, they are doing a pretty good job of cracking down on illegals coming across. It's just a matter of not letting the politics of La Raza, the ACLU and liberal newspapers get in the way of the will of the voters and the enforcement of the law.
Arizona is much better at workplace enforcement than California. That's why it's so much harder on the middle class in California than in Arizona and why California is losing its middle class and is devolving into a society of an ultra rich class exploiting a dysfunctional ultra poor class, with the middle being squeezed out and fleeing for places like Arizona.
We can easily send back 10 million illegal immigrants. I could do it tomorrow if I were calling the shots. Eliminate all welfare for illegals, and impose a $1,000 per day fine on employers for each illegal worker, with $500 awarded to the person who reports any employer exploiting illegal labor. Also, immediately deport any person arrested for a DUI who is here illegally and you'd probably get rid of a million in a few months and save tens of thousands of American lives a year and millions upon millions in taxpayer money.
If you value our Constitution, then please remember the culture that gave birth to it. We need to protect that culture and our traditions if we want our Constitution to survive. If you think those traditions will survive when immigrants from the Third World outnumber people raised here with those traditions, then come hang out in California where American traditions are being overwhelmed under a flood of Latin Americans, Chinese and Indian immigrants who think America is a cash cow not to be milked, but to be slaughtered and its bones picked clean.
Spend a little time south of the border if you want to see our future if the current rate of immigration remains unchanged.
In California, George Washington is seen less as a founder of this nation, and more as a slave-owning warmonger. Edison was just another greedy, exploitive capitalist white man.
Cesar Chavez and Malcolm X are the heroes for the new America. Or is it Aztlan now? Community organizer is the new profession of choice. Prosperity is earned not by the sweat of your brow and the cleverness of your mind, but by marching and waving the flag of your home country and demanding your rights and what you deserve. All those white people in the big houses owe you for what their ancestors allegedly did to your ancestors, and righteous community organizing is the way to get that bling bling into your bank account. That, or selling dope, or robbing 7-Elevens, because gangsta ain't no different than banksta.
A wealthy member of the upper caste in India who was raised by servants has the same rights as you because he has an H1B visa, and he will work for half your wage. There are 300 million people just like him rushing to get on the plane and into your cubicle. And if you complain that he is undercutting your wages and you can no longer afford to raise your family, you need to shut up because you are a fat, lazy American. It's a flat world now, you racist.
But it is still illegal for you to buy land in Mexico. If you want to work in India, you better follow their cultural norms and their rules that protect their workers, or will be deported faster than a bad bowl of curry through your bowels.
Americans used to stand up and fight invaders. They used to be proud of their traditions, prosperity and freedoms and were willing to lay down their lives to protect them and protect the well being of their families.
But now we're becoming just another sweatshop for international bankers. Those bankers have brainwashed most people in this nation into believing that freedom means leaving your door open so foreigners can come in and clean out your home, and then they'll insult you for being an isolationist or a protectionist if you complain about not liking it.
If you think open borders and mass immigration are what liberty is all about, then you shouldn't be here on a Ron Paul message board. You should be hanging out with the Obama people, or the McCain people. The philosophies of Tom Friedman and Larry Summers should be right up your alley. The North American Union and the NWO should put a smile on your face. Maybe the NWO is what liberty means to you.
But that's not how I see it.
