Illegal Immigration Problem Accelerating

• May 2, 2006

Here’s an interesting chart from the BBC:

It is interesting to note the dates on the graph. Notice the first peak of the top graph which comes in 1986 as well as the subsequent decline to 1989. So what happened to cause that? The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, which granted amnesty to 2.7 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. at the time. The passage of that act is what caused the three year decline in the number of illegals living in the U.S. because all of those who were living here illegally then could lay claim to citizenship under this law. But then notice what happens from 1989 onward: A steady and accelerating increase in the number of illegal immigrants living in America.
Wonder why that is? Could it maybe be because the amnesty granted in 1986 convinced would-be illegals that, if enough of them cross the border and set up residence here in America, that we’ll just give up and grant them all amnesty? I’d say that’s right, and I’d also say that these immigrants aren’t stupid as that is just what would happen if some of our politicians get their way.
The question we have to ask ourselves, though, is this: What good is amnesty for sovling the illegal immigration problem? As this chart shows, the last time we granted amnesty we ended up with a problem that was bigger than the one we faced previously.

The illegals have no place in this country. They are the crimminal scum of the earth. The women just keep on popping out the kids to stay on some kind of a dole which makes them whores and pigs and the men are thugs who have a gang mentality and sleep with the pigs.

Too me it is hilarious and remarkable that one can accurately determine how many illegals are in this country without knowing where they are so they can be evicted.

Obviously it’s not that these people can’t be found, but the lack of will to actually do the finding over the past 20 years.

I’ll give you a story about an illegal:

One of my friends got into a car accident that was the illegal’s fault. She asked the illegal her name and the illegal uses a cussword and the word pig as her name. My friend doesn’t know any better, and the illegal runs off in their new car.

The police arrive, and ask for the name. They tell my friend exactly what it means and that there is nothing they can do about her running from the scene of an accident.

What do you do when an illegal commits a crime and runs?

Yeah… and that’s what really kinda ticks me about this whole illegals debate on the right side.  A lot of people I see spend more time spewing venom at the illegals themselves (deport them!!!) rather than the polititians who have gone AWOL on this issue for a long time.   The anger needs to be on the polititians who STILL refuse to act sensibly.  We need not demonize people who are simply trying to make their own livesbetter.  I would do the same thing in a heartbeat that any of these illegals have done by coming to this country and so would anyone on this blog today.  It is the responsibliity of the DC polititians to expedite that process and vet these people.

 

Anyway, I’m rambling…

I really think it’s a farse to claim that the increasing number of illegals is directly because of the amnesty of the 80′s.  By saying such, you are claiming that the main motivator for illegals hopping the border is they are counting on eventual amnesty, right?

I think the bogged-down legal immigration process, increasing poverty in countries to our south and overall population increase are greater factors, don’t you?

Lol, no… I’m saying that it’s not that the offical’s are not able to locate the illegals (in an effort to deport them), it’s that they aren’t willing to.

or I could rephrase, the lack of deportation of illegals over the past 20 years has not been because it’s impossible to do but because they, the authorities, aren’t willing to do it.

Get me now?

It’s time for a Crash in the Illegal’s Market!

I live about 5 miles from where the Bush administration allowed the shut down of a Border Patrol checkpoint between San Diego and Riverside County, Southern California.

The illegal workers all line up in a vacant lot right at the end of town every morning until someone (upstanding citizen, probably NeoCON businessman) hires them.  The police and Border Patrol drive by, yawn, and keep going.

Bush wants open borders, even if there’s a bird flu epidemic (as the article I just posted shows).
