Taking Aim at Open Border Supporters
There is a significant likelihood the U.S. has already lost the war against illegal immigration. There are simply too many interest groups who want them here and too many elected officials who either want them or do not have the spine to take a strong stand against the invasion that swells every day.
But there is something that can be done to shine the light of day on the sham arguments offered by apologists for the status quo. We need to ask those who are opposed to seriously defending our borders and those who fight against deportation why they are not proposing legislation to fully open the borders and remove the border controls to allow unimpeded entry to any and all who wish to come. And while they are at it, they can remove the penalties for hiring those who are here illegally since the term will no longer apply.
So what if criminals and terrorists come in, it’s happening everyday now despite the government’s limp wrested attempts to curb the activity. At least we could save the money being spent for border guards and employment law enforcers.
Finally, the supporters of unlimited immigration and open borders should offer legislation requiring that all government documents be printed in Spanish and that all public officials become bi-lingual. The legislation should also mandate that government identification cards be provided free of charge to all who ask for one, no questions asked. We need to be sensitive and allow these folks a government issued ID card. After all it is demeaning to be forced to use forged documents to get a driver’s license or job.
Sound ridiculous? That is where we are inevitably headed if we don’t do something very soon to deal sternly and consistently with the issue. Those who fight to prevent such actions need to reveal their true colors and have the courage to offer the legislation described above. Of course they won’t. They are cowards hiding behind their ability to denigrate and name call to try to silence proponents of bringing some order to the chaos that now exists while affirming and protecting U.S. sovereignty. They like being able to pretend they care about the issue while doing everything possible to prevent anything being done about it.
