Thread: Damage of illegal immigration falls on Democratic policies

April 10, 2015

Michael D. Day made complaints about illegal immigration hurting unionized American workers in his recent letter to the editor on Feb. 2. He made the false assertion that right-wing politicians did nothing to stop illegal immigration. President Bill Clinton was in charge of the executive branch from 1993 to 2001. Was Mike Foster in charge of the federal border agents?

What irony that Day’s left-wing amigos have done everything in their power to promote and encourage the illegal immigration that, in turn, hurts union workers. His left-wing amigos control his political party of utopia, organized labor, socialism and unfettered government. This party is otherwise known as the Democratic Party.

The belief that all of these illegal immigrants will become legal and that this will lead to unassailable Democratic majorities in the U.S. Congress has led to Democratic Party political opposition to strong border enforcement. This is especially true in regard to a permanent border fence in the highest areas of illegal immigrant entry. All patriotic Americans who believe in the rule of law and support legal immigration, but oppose illegal immigration, are painted by the Democratic Party as xenophobes and/or racists.

In the past six years, the Democratic Obama administration has failed to enforce border security. Sheriff Joe Arpaio and all who try to enforce immigration laws are opposed by the Obama administration at every turn. The Dream Act executive order led to the 2014 illegal surge by Central Americans across the southern border. Day wants us to believe that it is Republicans that allow illegal immigration.

After reading Mr. Day’s innumerable diatribes against conservatives and Republicans, I find it implausible that he can agree with conservatives about the damage that illegal immigration can inflict. Or is it only when the illegal immigrants compete with unionized labor that it bothers him? He may be unaware that conservatives, the “right wingers” that he despises, oppose the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and all who support the entry of and amnesty for illegal immigrants.

We have 93 million Americans of working age who are not in the workforce. We have the lowest labor participation rate of the last 50 years. We take in 1 million legal immigrants a year. Do we really need to give amnesty to illegal immigrants again? President Reagan granted amnesty years ago. We citizens were promised better border control and the end to illegal immigration with that amnesty legislation. Those promises were unfulfilled. Do we really believe that comprehensive immigration reform will end illegal immigration?

I am crying crocodile tears today for Michael D. Day.

No, we all know that comprehensive immigration reform has no intention of ending illegal immigration, the whole purpose of comprehensive immigration reform is to legalize it.

All too true.

But let's face it, the Repub leadership is huffing and puffing about 'Bama's executive amnesty, while using him for cover as they give their big money donors the additional surplus labor that those donors covet.

Patriots are being overwhelmed, because almost nobody in Washington, D.C. is truly against amnesty for illegals.

This along with stories that will follow from the other side, then again from this side, is smoke intended to take our eyes off the ball. Neither side by blaming each other is fully honest, the voters are totally responsible about who goes to Washington and what instructions they are sent with. Voters must make the '16 election about border security, deportation and controlled immigration or by carping about this to each other they keep us busy defending our party!! By doing that we miss the target, and we all are then defeated, some while celebrating a false win. That celebration is not ignorant, it is stupid. I pray to God that we never get caught up in that again.

Bottom line, we, the voters are responsible! If we, the voters cannot handle it, then we, the militia must come to the defense of our Constitution!! Either way we are responsible!

And Past Republicans are responsible as well, starting with Bush One, then Bush TWO, oh my God, Bush TWO didn't enforce any immigration law for 6 years holding out for his treasonous Guest Worker Permit plan. Fortunately, Congress refused and in his last 2 years he did a fairly good job, but the damage of 6 years of his open borders was a travesty that seriously exacerbated a problem that with a Republican Congress and a Republican White House we should have solved, not expanded.
