    Immigration: legal and illegal, deadly and irresponsible

    November 12, 2017

    For decades the U.S. has had a legal immigration policy that made no sense and an attitude toward illegal immigration that too often looked the other way. In both instances our immigration policy has proved both costly and deadly. The most recent example of irresponsible legal immigration has shocked our country as an immigrant granted a “diversity visa ” in 2010 just mowed down 8 innocent lives in N.Y City using a truck as a weapon and wounding 11 more. This immigrant, Saifullo Saipov, was from Uzbekistan and came here on winning the ” U.S. lottery visa.“Terrorism in Uzbekistan is more prevalent than in any other Central Asian State.

    In 1990, Chuck Schumer then a N.Y. Congressman played a pivotal role in creating an immigration lottery which provided visas to applicants from countries with low immigration rates regardless of skills or the ability to be self supporting .Using a computer lottery system to randomly select up to 50,000 immigrant, the family reunification misguided policy also kicks in so that those 50,000 grow dramatically as their relatives now start arriving. In the case of Saipov who just murdered 8 people and wounding 11 more he has also attracted 23 of his relatives into our country . That is comforting to know.

    Schumer, like most liberal Democrats, apparently thought we were not diverse enough and in 1990 led the effort for passage in Congress with some Republican support, although the majority of Republicans voted against it while the majority of Democrats voted for its passage. Regrettably it was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush.

    In 2011, the Congressional Research Service report said that critics of the “diversity lottery” warned that it was particularly vulnerable to manipulation, misuse and an avenue for terrorists. Apparently the report was accurate but ignored.

    How many of our liberal politicians would accept into their home an immigrant chosen by a lottery to come live with them and financially support them if necessary? If liberal politicians are not willing to do this in their own homes, why inflict this policy on our nation as a whole? Our whole legal immigration program based on family reunification is totally irresponsible. President Trump is 100 percent correct in adopting a merit-based immigration policy.

    Why would we not choose people based on merit, from throughout the world, who bring self-supporting skills to our country and who desire to assimilate into our culture and accept our constitution as the law of our land? Instead, we have accepted this irresponsible policy of accepting relatives who often need taxpayer support and may or may not have skills to be self supporting and many coming from countries and cultures that place Sharia law above our Constitution.

    According to a study by The Heritage Foundation, there are about 3.44 million households headed by illegal aliens who receive about $25,000 in benefits such as public education, fire and police and who stress our health care system while also distorting the makeup of our congressional districts and therefore our Electoral College. Illegal immigrants are costing U.S. taxpayers an estimated $100 billion a year.

    America is among the more diverse countries on Earth and enables upward mobility more than any nation ever created. We have a Social Security system that depends on more working people contributing to the program than recipients drawing money out. Our current flawed immigration system will not meet this need. I am all for a legal immigration program based on “merit ” selection.

    If you, as a reader of this column, are not personally willing to take into your home an immigrant chosen by a lottery approach or supporting all of their relatives who follow them and need financial assistance then please don’t inflict those responsibilities on the American taxpayers who are already facing a staggering debt of $20 trillion!

    Whether it is the N.Y. terrorist, Saifullo Saipov granted a “diversity visa” or the illegal alien, Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez, who killed Kate Steinle in San Francisco after having been deported five times with seven felony convictions, our legal and illegal immigration policies are both costly and deadly.

    Yep, and that's before we even get to the American lives destroyed by job theft and the debts we incur for future generations covering the welfare, education and health care needs of people who shouldn't even be in the country.

    There is no upside or benefit and thus no justification for any illegal immigration or any excess legal immigration at all.

    SHUT IT ALL DOWN. Take a breather. You can't fix the plumbing with the water still on. STOP ALL THE FLOWS so we can fix our country.

    We need a 10 to 20 Year Moratorium on ALL Immigration and we need it now.

    Yes, we do need a moratorium on immigration.

    These illegals are also getting higher education, courtesy of tax payers.

    Many young Americans can only go to college if they are willing to graduate with a debt burden it will take a decade to pay.
