Immigration Reform???

In this LA Times article, it's being reported that Schumer (D) of New York and Graham (R) of South Carolina are pushing so called immigration reform. Part of this reform entails granting US Citizenship to an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants. In order to become Citizens, "Undocumented workers would need to register, pay taxes and pay a penalty for violating the law."

I won't even begin to attack how ridiculous it will be for them to pay taxes and a penalty [they're dirt poor!!] because that's such a joke a response would be a waste of time. But what's worthy of response is how much this cheapens US Citizenship. Millions of people have gone through the naturalization process which can take more than ten years, all in an effort to legally become US Citizens. Their efforts will have been in vain if this Legislation passes simply because all they had to do was hop the fence separating the US from Mexico. Part of the naturalization process is having an adequate understanding of the English language. As anyone can attest, most illegal immigrants south of the border come here looking for a yob and like to order Yumbo Yacks from Jack in the Box and furthermore take mijo and mija with them when they need someone to speak English for them.

One should ask themselves, with their close proximity to Spanish speaking Central and South America, what incentive do these people have to learn English? What incentive do they have to assimilate into American culture and become Americans? If they don't want to learn English and don't want to assimilate into America's superior culture, they need to get the hell out of here. They have no right to be here, and for one to feel they have a right to be here implies an absolute sense of arrogance and entitlement.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, the solution is to remove the incentive illegal immigrants have to be here, one word, JOBS. Give them 90-days to leave, with no fear of reprisal, after which, all rights of Habeus Corpus will be suspended for expired visa holders and illegal immigrant trespassers. After which, they'll be deported and barred from re-entry for ten years. Employers will also have 90-days to verify rights of employees to work in the US. After which, for first time offenders, a fine of $100,000 per illegal immigrant employee; second time offenders, a fine of $250,000 per illegal immigrant employee; third time offenders will have their business confiscated and sold and all proceeds will go to the US Treasury Department. Additionally, the entire Executive Board will be subject to ten years imprisonment and at a minimum all their personal property will be confiscated and sold regardless of their spouse and children.

I'll conclude by saying that Obama is insane if he thinks he can push the same Legislation pushed by Bush via McCain-Kennedy, and not suffer the same American outrage Bush faced. If this Legislation is pushed by Obama and the Democrats, it will be the death nail come Election time in November. Nothing could actually be better for Patriots and those who are fed up with Washington's arrogance than for this Legislation to be brought to the floor of the US Senate. With a takeover of the House and Senate, perhaps a little Impeachment for Dereliction of Duty is in order.
