Bush, wealthy cronies responsible for illegal immigration
Reporter Editor:



President George W. Bush acts like the chief executive officer of the well-organized illegal immigrant racket that is a cash cow for his billionaire buddies. The president is trying to scam the American people with euphemisms that candy coat the massive invasion of illegal immigrants into the United States. In every speech, President Bush emphatically claims that undocumented workers do the jobs that Americans will not do. The truth is, illegal immigrants are handed jobs that employers will not give to legal Americans.

Giant corporations make billions of dollars by skirting labor laws and exploiting noncitizens who cannot demand benefits or decent wages because they have broken the law. As the frontman for big business, President Bush is trying to force-feed Americans his plan for a guest worker program that legitimizes illegal immigration. I believe the majority of Americans are against this betrayal of the American work force, because they know that 12 million to 20 million illegal immigrants are not guests, and have no right to sponge off of our economy while they break the law. Mr. Bush's amnesty proposal is analogous to giving a guest room to a criminal who breaks into a person's house. A home invader should go to jail, instead of getting free access to everything in the home while staying there indefinitely.

President Bush and his corporate cohorts want Americans to believe that alien lawbreakers are doing menial, degrading labor that is beneath most Americans. This is an outright lie and shockingly racist. Illegal immigrants don't just work in the fields; they have infiltrated the construction, service, and retail industries. They have stolen jobs that Americans used to do for fair wages and decent benefits.

The White House has threatened the American people with economic collapse if illegal aliens are deported. This lie is another attempt to coerce Americans into accepting the rapidly growing number of illicit immigrants living in their midst. If the federal government had the nerve to deport the illegal aliens living in our country, our economy could easily rebound. Employers who previously hired undocumented workers would be forced to hire legal, unemployed Americans and offer them higher wages and benefits. This would boost our economy and increase the tax revenue, since illegal immigrants avoid paying taxes. In addition, Americans would no longer be spending billions of dollars on entitlement programs for these trespassers.

President Bush's claim that it would be impossible to round up and deport 12 million illegal immigrants is another pro-business lie. The Internal Revenue Service could easily audit unscrupulous employers and uncover their illegal employees. The National Guard and the U.S. military could then escort those lawbreakers back to Mexico, where Mexican President Vicente Fox would finally have to become responsible for them.

But the integrity of the United States and the welfare of legal American citizens is not part of the giant corporations' agenda. Their long-term plan is the dissolution of the borders on the North American continent. Big money interests want to create a continuum between Mexico, the United States and Canada, and virtually turn the three countries into one. This would create a bonanza for world bankers and corporate thieves who want hegemony over North America. They want to control and seize its wealth.

American citizens will pay the price for their greed and the invasion of illegal immigrants. Our language and culture will be irretrievably adulterated, health costs will skyrocket, education will reach an all-time low, and crime will increase. The billionaire fat cats who feed off the porous boarders will live lavishly in their isolated bubbles, untouched by the cultural decline.

President Bush recently revealed his symbiotic relationship with greedy corporations when he did not condemn the pro-illegal immigration rallies. These rallies were offensively anti-American, pro-Mexican, and organized by professional Hispanic and socialist activists. The demonstrators burned American flags, waved Mexican flags, trashed America, and demanded to be able to break America's laws. Vicente Fox would never allow such demonstrations by Americans in his own country.

President Bush and his wealthy buddies are willing to toss out the rule of law for the sake of profit. The American media is enabling them by using terms like "immigration debate" instead of "illegal immigration debate." The media also uses phrases like "immigration is an emotional and complicated issue," and run film footage of Mexicans working in the fields. The public isn't shown film footage of Mexicans working in the skilled jobs that they have stolen from legal citizens. The truth is, these illegal aliens are working for high-paying jobs that have been robbed from Americans. Americans are justifiably upset by the foreign invasion that is draining our economy. President Bush is sitting on his hands, and is allowing our borders to be trespassed by anybody.
