Uncontrolled immigration (illegal) is a cancer

Uncontrolled immigration (illegal) is a cancer and it is spreading throughout the country, depressing wages and destroying neighborhoods. An example can be found in Santa Ana California. I can remember in the late ‘50’s and early ‘60’s Santa Ana California was a nice upper middle class community. According to the 2000 census figures it is now home to over 347,000 people 76 % of the population is Latino 180,000 were not born in this country; 156,000 of these people speak English poorly if at all. Most of the Latino population has less than a 9th grade education. The Latino population had an average annual income less than $10,000.00 per year. Once, a nice place to live much of Santa Ana is now plagued by gang violence. Drive-by shootings are common occurrences. Santa Ana has been turned into a barrio. It doesn’t seem like the people in Santa Ana have made any progress in assimilating into the American culture. Do you know why? It’s because they don’t want to assimilate. They want to live in their neighborhoods, speak their language and do things the way they did them in their native country, and they would like to spread that lifestyle to other communities until the place resembles the place that they came from and that includes the corruption and everything else that goes along with it. Other parts of the country are beginning to feel the burden of supporting these families whose incomes cannot possibly sustain the number of mothers and children needing to be fed, schooled and medicated. Now Americans, with the exception of those who have something to gain, complain that the federal government isn’t doing its job, and the federal government complains that they need help from local authorities, and so every agency passes the buck in an attempt to fool the electorate into believing that they really would do something if only they could. The taxpayer is the one left holding the bag. We are constantly fed the lie that things would be so much more expensive without the illegals. Without them our economy would collapse, blah, blah, blah. Things are really not any cheaper now when you consider the costs of supporting these people. Do you really think that businesses that hire these people are giving you deep discounts due to their low labor costs? What they are doing is pocketing the difference of what they would have to pay an American to do the same job, and you still pay the same price plus the cost of benefits that the business doesn’t pay.

Uncontrolled immigration is a cancer that feeds off of corrupt politicians and greedy business owners, expecting them to do anything to abate illegal immigration is an exercise in futility. The only thing that will change these people is to force the government to use existing laws to punish business owners who hire illegal aliens. How do you force the government to do this? You stay on their case. You write them every time you hear even a rumor about an amnesty proposal. Politicians are not interested in doing what is good for this country they are only interested in staying in office. They look at their mail and decide where the votes are and that’s where they go with their decisions. If you don’t participate in this process then you will get what you deserve.

Let people come here legally. Let them assimilate and then let some more come in. That’s the way it should be done. In the meantime if businesses say they can’t get help let them recruit from outside provided they pay the cost of benefits for their “guest workers” up to and including the cost of benefits for the workers family’s; food; clothing; medical care etc. etc. Let’s see how economical it would become to simply raise the wages offered to Americans to do the work. Until then: arrest employers breaking the law and put them in jail; arrest, punish and then deport those who use other’s social security numbers; vote out or impeach politicians who refuse to uphold their sworn duty. It’s not too late.
