Border Enforcement Will Not Stop Illegal Immigration - Study

Hardbeatnews, WASHINGTON, D.C., Fri. June 17, 2005: Contrary to what conservative lawmakers say, a new study has found that increased border enforcement will not stop immigrants from entering the country illegally.

The Cato Policy Institute’s new study, ‘Backfire at the Border: Why Enforcement without Legalization Cannot Stop Illegal Immigration,’ claims that despite increased enforcement at the U.S.-Mexican border beginning in the 1980s, the number of foreign-born workers entering the United States illegally each year has not diminished and will not without immigration reform.

Princeton professor and Mexican migration expert, Douglas S. Massey, who conducted the analysis, argues that America's repressive immigration and border policies have backfired, pushing immigration flows into more remote areas and resulting not only in a tripling of the death rate at the border, but also in a dramatic fall in the rate of apprehension.

As a result, the cost to U.S. taxpayers of making one arrest along the border increased from $300 in 1992 to $1,700 in 2002 -- an increase of 467 percent in just a decade, he states.

"Not only have U.S. policies failed to reduce the inflow of people from Mexico, they have perversely reduced the outflow to produce an unprecedented increase in the undocumented population of the United States," Massey writes. "America's unilateral effort to prevent a decades-old flow from continuing has paradoxically transformed a circular flow of Mexican workers into a settled population of families and dependents."

Massey recommends that Congress build on President Bush's immigration initiative to enact a temporary visa program that would allow workers from Canada, Mexico, and other countries to work in the United States without restriction for a certain limited time. Undocumented workers already in the United States who do not have a criminal record would be given temporary legal status.

In addition, he urges the U.S. government to accept the reality of a continent-wide integrated economy. While the U.S. government has pursued commercial integration through the North American Free Trade Agreement, it has sought to curb unilaterally the flow of labor across the U.S.-Mexican border.

Such a contradictory policy is bound to fail, says Massey. "In practical if not logical terms, it is impossible to create a single North American market characterized by the free movement of all factors of production except one," Massey writes. "The time is thus ripe for the United States to abandon its illusions and to accept the reality, indeed the necessity, of North American integration." – Hardbeatnews.com

Yeah, we'll do it WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER!!!

And they call this an "expert"!
The cause of the failure is THE TOTAL LACK OF ENFORCEMENT, and the fact that our elected officials are ignoring, nay, encouraging and supporting illegal immigration for the monetary gains of their supporters!
The ones who pay for their campaigns.
Put it simply: selling out America for a buck!
This individual is not living in one of the border states, is he?

Geeze, Glad I didn’t go to Princeton, what a complete waste. This guy actually has a PHD! Here is his contact information on the Princeton web site....Just in case you might want to say thanks. http://sociology.princeton.edu/people/f ... php#massey

The man is a professional FRAUD!! CATO INSTITUTE is open borders who are all FRAUDS, LIARS, CHEATS, and LAWBREAKERS pushing a policy of dissolving the United States for MONEY.

These are traitorous remarks.

PUT THEM ON THE OBL-LIST for sure!!

These people turn my stomach. They would do anything for money. Take their job away and they'd be the first ones to run to crime to make a living. Oh....my mistake....they already did!!

Just imagine the depth of his research and analysis.

How long ago was it, that the MinuteMen showed the nation HOW TO SHUT DOWN THE BORDER?

Was it really that long ago?
And where exactly did he gain his expertise?
In a library, at Princeton?

Has he ever seen coyote trails in the Huachucas?
Has he ever been to the barrio?
Has he seen the Rio Grande, other than in the movies?
Has he seen the back room of a grocery store on Figueroa Street, where false ID documents are being sold?

I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. ... corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."

True Then, True Now, SIXX!! THAT'S WHY EVERYONE MUST FOLLOW:

DON'T SPEND, SAVE!!

To fight the government you have to fight the money that controls the government.

Keep your money....only spend on essentials....your expenditures are not helping the United States but are ruining it instead by enriching the enemies of Mexico, Central America and China.

STOP SPENDING NOW!!

You will be surprised how fast this will turn things around here.

We still need a major demonstration in DC and SOON!!
