TO CONTROLL FLOODING BUILD A DAM, DON'T LOWER
THE BOTTOM!
By William J. Wahlsteen
Published: October 8, 2007 If we build the fence at the border and "Control" the flow of immigration, then every person in America would benefit. We the taxpayers of America could have our new citizens on the tax rolls contributing to the welfare of our society on the Federal, State, and Local level, instead of depleting it. Think about it. Instead of half of us contributing everyone contributes - it is the law. The increased revenues from new legal citizens plus the employer's responsibility of matching Social Security, Medicare-Medicaid, paying into Workman's Comp, and Unemployment Insurance would render these funds solvent in no time. Schools and Hospitals would not be overcrowded. Health Care could be extended.
This would double the revenues and cut the expenses in half. That's a quadruple increase. If you completely stopped Illegal immigration at the border you could safely legalize every person that is here illegally. This is why the fence will never be built. If you control immigration, then the responsibility and the liability is placed on the wealthy corporatist and the authority and the assets are given to the taxpaying citizens.
Isn't it odd that the Churches, The Mexican Government, The Federal Government, and the States are all on the same page with this open border policy. When was it discussed?. Where was it discussed? What is the entire plan. Is it in writing. How is it that citizens that pay taxes and don't want this policy have NO authority over it? How is it that the unelected that are tax exempt and want this policy have Authority? When did they get on the same page in every way? How many other countries have secret agreements that are being put forth by an unelected, tax exempt group of wealthy elitists. Policies that are being enacted by the action and inaction of the elected.
What other agreements are there? I know there are more. Where do you have these meetings and where are the records? When did the Governor of New York decide he would join the Executive Order Club and become an Open Border Advocate. Was it a vision that came overnight that put him exactly in step with all the other Enemies of the State. Or, was it a campaign secret until now. Steve"the levee" Levy should run for higher office.
WITH THE NEWS MEDIA BEING AN INFORMERCIAL FOR CORPORATISM OUR PERCEPTION OF THEM IS THEIR DECEPTION OF us/U.S.
If this is supposedly concern for the immigrant how come none of the people that want this open border policy are demanding that the social security be taken out of the wages, that the minimum wage be enforced, that unemployment insurance, medicare-medicaid, and ability to file a claim against the employer or join a union be honored and enforced? What about overtime? Isn't this supposed to be a benefit for all? Why not force them to do it in Mexico. The wealthy in Mexico don't want to spend one more cent sustaining the life of the people they have neglected and abused so they are being sent here at the request of our president to lower our bottom.
Private schools and private hospitals of the wealthy don't have to bear the burden of the illegal population. Illegals don't even go to their public schools and public hospitals. They live with us. That responsibility and liability is assigned to us. The wealthy maintain the asset of underpaying them and the authority to say that's how it is going to be regardless of the law. The wealthy corporatist also doesn't continue paying social security past $100,000. We pay it our entire work life. That is the con of this whole scam. As always the taxpayer has the liability and the responsibility and the Corporatist society has all authority and assets.
The status that would be obtained by an illegal that became legal means nothing if you can still flood the country with illegals. The new legal would have to compete against the illegal immigrant. This would render his status useless. After paying all these fines and doing a song and dance for our government the new legal would have to pretend to be illegal just to get a job. That is why they don't want immigration "Controlled". Wages for all of us can then spiral downward.
If the Dam has a flood gate, you can shut it until all of the labor you allowed into the labor pool has been naturally absorbed. When this labor pool starts to dry up you open the gate again. One rule must be in place first. You must test the Shut off Valve first to make sure it works. It cannot have leaks and it must be strong enough to hold back the forces against it. Then you can safely open the floodgate. It must be open and closed often enough so that it doesn't rust solid in the open position.
This bill was dead and will never stay buried. I want to say this now because I know the oncoming battle will prove this true. Remember the players are your enemies. The authority they have to sustain this illegal theft of equity is far more sinister than what we are now observing. The unelected elitist and their tax exempt war chest have already said they will bankrupt municipalities that oppose this theft of services and of course those that don't oppose it will go bankrupt anyway. This will be used to bring about Privatization. An other plan already in the works.
We will then have no ability to organize or fund any political opposition. The unions, being organized, political, and civic, are the first ones on the list being targeted. Every union industry is being liquidated and sold to foreign interest or replaced by foreign interest. The destruction of the labor movement and the middle class is at the mercy of illegal immigration. I suggest that the AFL-CIO realize this betrayal and understand that the Third party doesn't need you any more. All they want now is the power to continuously lower the bottom. At this point the illegal drug gangs will be deemed terrorist that threaten our security and therefore we will sacrifice our freedom for protection. These new powers will be used on protesters of this deception. This is why they are not deported upon release from prison.
I have reached the age now where I hope and pray that I am wrong about everything. I am not trying to be right but constantly look for the peace and security that would come with being wrong. I can't find it. I also believe that if every conspiracy theory were taken as true we would have better government and greater prosperity. It is the abuse of religion, patriotism, freedom, and trust that has put us in danger and not the lack of it. I would rather the comfort of distrust from a conspiracy obsessed society whether the distrust is founded or unfounded, than to have the passive danger of unfounded trust.
