Thread: Undoc. who refuse to desert bad US economy pay price...whoa.

More from my favorite blogger.


The undocumented who refuse to desert a bad U.S. economy are already paying a price to stay here


News reports since November have chronicled the reverse migration, if you will, of undocumented immigrants back to their home countries from the U.S. Whether it's because of the deteriorating economy or harsher immigration enforcement measures, some consulates across the country have noted an upswing in applications by their citizens to take their belongings back home.


While this bit of news would seem encouraging to all those who have campaigned against the presence of undocumented immigrants, it's not a sign that the battle over recognizing the undocumented who are still here is over.

If anything, it should be a clear signal that the fight hasn't even begun.

The voluntary exodus of some undocumented immigrants back to their birthplaces invokes a comparison to Darwin's Survival of the Fittest theory.

Those who stay behind, who are willing to face a bad economy, punitive immigration enforcement, a potential loss in income and/or employment, are the ones with the most invested in the United States — and will put up the biggest fight to stay here.

They may have years of U.S. residency, children who were born and/or were raised here, feel more "American" than the nationality they were born with, etc. If any of these applies, chances are they will fight the hardest and the longest to stay.

The assumption is that these people will indeed be granted citizenship after they "pay a price."

Yet, these people have already paid a price. Trying to exact some kind of "payment" for jumping a nonexistent line is only rhetoric to appease those same ultra conservatives who are now circulating the "Barack the Magic Negro" song and telling everybody it's just good natured satire.

As long as it's their way, then we're supposed to believe it's the right way — and totally fair and unoffensive to boot. It's time everyone opened their eyes.

Exerting another "pay the price" penalty on undocumented immigrants is not only unjust but inhumane when considering they are suffering the same economic hardships, and worse, as the rest of the country.

By virtue of the fact that these people remained behind instead of leaving to go to a place where life, in some aspects, would be easier for them, speaks for their commitment to this country and their belief in the U.S. way of life.

This is their home and the price they've already paid should be taken into account and honored.

Not to worry Obama will soon have work projects for Illegals..

LOL........committment my foot.

The ones still here are just trying to hold on and are barely doing so. When they can't do so any longer, they will leave.

I know. I had a development full of these "committed" folks.....a development which is now a veritable ghost town...... after even their big plans of going to other states didn't work.

It doesn't take long for them to realize that the welfare and food stamps for the anchor babies isn't enough to pay the bills.

Yet, these people have already paid a price. Trying to exact some kind of "payment" for jumping a nonexistent line is only rhetoric to appease those same ultra conservatives who are now circulating the

"Barack the Magic Negro"

song and telling everybody it's just good natured satire.

Does "Barack the Magic Negro" have the same tune as "Frosty the Snowman" or is it "Puff the Magic Dragon"?

What hardships the undocumented may have does not cover all the tax dollars,loss of wages for true citizens,the deaths by illeagle gangbangers,or ahost of other problems they have caused. let them all go back home and get the hell out of my country.

same ultra conservatives who are now circulating the "Barack the Magic Negro" song and telling everybody it's just good natured satire.

Don't know what that song says, and I don't care. This pusillanimous individual is really saying that people against illegal immigration are racists. Why was this thrown into this essay in such an indirect and cowardly way?

speaks for their commitment to this country and their belief in the U.S. way of life.

No it doesn't. It's a testiment to their "take what I don't deserve", "take what I can get" and what is not mine mentality. Theif comes to mind. If they were committed to coming to this country, they would have done it legally.

Well, I DONT care. LEAVE already!

This human suffering crap has got to stop. These illegals have robbed and raped this country with no problem, but when their impact on our economy deprives them of the dream lifestyle where they can send all their money out of this country, goes into the tank, of course it is the fault of Americans.
