Immigration. Aside from the political issues surrounding immigration, I will try to explain why allowing the immigration bills to pass would be a bad thing for the US of A. While allowing immigration to the U.S. has been a hallmark of the American way, it is not the same as it was even 10 years ago. The purpose of immigration nowadays does not have the same purpose it did when people were trying to gain U.S. citizenship for a better way of life. Yes, I realize that people from other countries are trying to enter our country to escape persecution and crime in their perspective countries, but what are they contributing to ours? Are they they just trying to bring their way of life to our neighborhoods for their gain. While many Americans are screaming and yelling to let them in because they are are looking to participate in the American Dream, they are being fooled by the true intentions by many of the so called poor helpless immigrants. My sources at many of the U.S. ports of entry tell me the same thing over and over again. They hear the same sob stories over and over again about just trying to look for work to help their families and the persecution from the cartels and the government. How they just want to earn a decent living, etc, etc. Well, many of these so called immigrants first break the U.S. laws by having themselves smuggled across, and break U.S. laws by crossing illegally and in many cases backpack illegal drugs for extra money instead of the legal route. Then they claim they were forced to do so by the cartels only to find out that they have been busted and deported several times before for doing the same thing at different location. Another purpose for entering the U.S. is to establish transitional contacts and points of distribution (or cells) for future drug shipments as was proven by the latest sting operation in which several illegal immigrants were rounded up by ICE officials all over Texas in December of 2009. All were involved in the drug trade and living in the U.S. illegally, Do you think they were paying taxes like you and me, were they endangering innocent families living next door? Were they contributing to the American way of life like you and I? Are they above the law? Yet, these people who broke our laws to enter our country and dealing in narcotics were receiving free medical care, free schooling for their kids, we were paying for their health care, subsidizing their welfare cards for food because they cannot spend the drug cartel's money on those things or they will be hunted down in our country endangering even more American lives. I and many other U.S. military veterans do not have as good benefits as they do and even get neglected or rejected in some cases and get even better care than we do. We can no longer keep falling for the same sob stories for the sake of political correctness and self righteousness. They've learned to use those virtues against us.
Just as many Islamic radicals have infiltrated our sovereignty by entering our country under false pretenses such as the 9-11 bombers did, The Mexican illegals have learned from that and attempting the same techniques. If you saw an Iranian Islamic radical terrorist entering the U.S. hidden in the undercarriage of a car would you be shocked and scared? Why not a Mexican National with evil intentions who could cause serious mayhem in the U.S. Yes, I know a dirty bomb would be more dramatic than getting our children hooked on drugs and killing a few rivals on our streets would, but only because cases like that don't make the headlines like a bomb would. I think that's only because we have become somewhat desensitized to drug dealers being killed in the streets as opposed to an Islamic terrorist planting a bomb in New York Square. If you don't think that will ever affect you, it will only be a matter of time if you succumb to political correctness and acceptance of outsiders. To address the human side of immigration, Yes. I believe that there are honest hard working Mexican nationals seeking U.S. citizenship that want to contribute to our society because I know a few. But, we cannot continue to fall for the same old sob story and be blinded by self righteousness and political correctness that endanger our American way of life to ease our conscience in the name of acceptance of other cultures and their ways of life.
OK folks before you start calling me a racist or prejudiced against Mexicans, I must state that I am of Mexican decent and 2nd generation American citizen sworn to defend the American way of life. I have chosen to defend the country I have integrated into as my parents have because the USA has provided us with a prosperous life as the U.S. Constitution states. I am just asking that you rethink the issue of politics and "acceptance" and "understanding" over national security and our way of life as our Constitution states it. Our Constitution has made us the most powerful and most desirable country on Earth. Now is no time time to compromise our principles for the sake of false principles of political correctness or politics.
