The Illegal Alien Problem. 34 Years Since The Warning and Lawmakers Still Sit On Their Hands

THE DOCTOR IS IN
_______________

LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

President Obama, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney are all individuals that do not want to secure our borders. They ignore the immigration issue constantly. In fact, a few of the above mentioned persons want to allow illegal immigration to flourish in this country.

I would like to cite some information regarding illegal immigration. In a U.S. News and World Report which is dated April 25, 1977, there is an article titled: "The Border Crisis, Illegal Aliens Out of Control? "

Christ, that article appeared in the media 34 years ago and believe it or not President after President cast a blind eye on the issue. Instead, President Ronald Reagan decided to give amnesty to over THREE MILLION illegal aliens. In doing so, her promised that this amnesty would be a one time thing and it would secure the borders of the United States from any future illegal alien influx. Well, we can see where that amnesty program got us, right?

Both parties are to blame for the inaction on securing the borders of the United States. The Democrats were in power and held the White House for 14 years and the Republicans were in power for 20 years. My question to these two parties is: In all that time, why wasn't the illegal aliens controlled?

In 1977, it was reported that there were an estimated 462,315 illegal aliens in the United States but in 2010 there were an estimated 11.2 million illegal aliens in this country and that figure is on the low side because there are some media outlets and statistical groups that say there are actually between 14 million and 21 million illegal aliens in America. That's a shame.

Our Congress and lawmakers have continually failed to address the illegal alien situation since the 1977 article shouted the news across the country. It seems very clear that the Congress and lawmakers across the nation only want to pander to the illegal alien and give away free education, free food, and free medical care so that they can garner votes from this segment of society.

Folks, the middle class has to stand up and insist that these incompetent lawmakers secure our borders and STOP the illegal invasion that has been occurring for over 30 years. Tell these lawmakers to allow states like Alabama and Arizona, who have passed strict immigration laws in order to control the problem to enforce those laws. Tell the Federal government to stop these lawsuits against the states that want to control illegal aliens.

I believe states like Arizona and Alabama that dare to take the matter into their own hands are clearly doing the right thing. Further, I submit that the working American citizens and legal residents , who are the taxpayers in this country have a right to stop any person that is in this country illegally from taking jobs away from American citizens and taking free education, free medical care, welfare and social service benefits.

Since the Federal government has failed miserably over the past 34 years to control the illegal alien, I say it's time for the states to act on their own.

I submit that if a state like California would immediately cease to provide a free education for illegal aliens, that alone would put billions of dollars back into the state coffers. Lets also consider the billions of dollars that would be saved if California, or any other state would stop all the free health care to the illegal alien . Folks, the states would again be flush with money and would not have to cut programs and services to the legal residents and citizens in their state.

Finally if the Congress and lawmakers would mandate and make it law that all employers in this country have to use the E-Verify system before hiring any person for a job position (that includes American citizens and legal residents) that act alone would insure that only legal citizens and residents are working on the job.

Note: Every job applicant being screened through the E-Verify system, for any job anywhere in the U.S., would prevent any person or group from complaining that any one person or group is being targeted. I believe that would be a fair process. The American citizen and the legal resident would have nothing to worry about and the E-Verify system would insure that the job being held is not being taken by an illegal alien.

I also think that there are many ways to control the immigration issue and protect and provide jobs for the legal citizens in this country while at the same time being certain that monies, social services and health care are being used only for legal individuals in this country.

It appears that the Congress and lawmakers have no heart, no drive and no desire to control illegal alien immigration - - - that's for sure, because the proof is in the pudding. Thirty-Four (34) years of total inaction on this issue. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
