LAW AND ORDER BEGIN AT THE BORDER!!!

   This is a tell all scenario of what is going on in our country. From this point of reference  we can gauge and judge all of what has been happening to our country. We can  see the true faces of politicians, tax exempt trusts that receive tax payer money in the form of grants, churches that receive faith based grants, philanthropists, the supreme court, and of course the influence of multinational corporations that have a lower tax rate and the most generous tax shelters ever conceived by man. You can even assess  the media and its constitutional worth just by the way they handle this issue. No one is clearly speaking up about the discrimination against other races that have waited in line and played by the rules to gain citizenship. We the taxpayer have seen jobs, schools , hospitals, and tax  revenue depleted by this effort. The most giving country in the world is being called merciless and cheap. Leaders have been trying to sell this without conscience. 
 
      The citizen has finally been given a surveillance window. An opportunity  to observe everyone that influences policy just by watching the border. Everything is in place. We finally have our crystal ball. One thing I find most appalling about the path to citizenship is the fact that they want to fine these people instead of the corporate manipulators that influenced  government policies that brought them here. That's corporate amnesty. What is worse than that however is the fact that if the poor illegal immigrant pays $3000.00 for his fine to obtain legal status he will lose everything having become legal. The border will still be open therefore he will not get hired for several reasons. First reason is he can file a claim against his employer. The second reason is the employer will have to pay workman's comp and taxes. The Third reason is that with the border still open the newly "legal" illegal, will lose his ability to gain employment due to the flow of illegal's that can be exploited. So now the worker gets taken by the government instead of the human trafficker. This of course proves that if they don't close the border it's for the sake of exploitation. Even higher food prices would be a bargain compared to what this will cost us overall.
 
     This administration has done so much for the wealthy liquidators of our country that the only way for them to gain a higher status is to lower the bottom. The open border is a test and challenge to America. We must defend  the newly legally documented worker from the open border policy. We can not let them get ripped off!  I also don't expect oppressed and abused  people fleeing poverty from a ruthless country who are offered a high paying construction job to say "No thank you",  I am only here to do low paying jobs that no one else will do. I admire and respect these people for doing what is best for themselves and their families and having seen hard times they will make great citizens and great Americans. Lets protect all of us.
