Thread: The Right Immigration Policy

Not amnesty or guest workers, but newcomers who would strengthen us

We Americans are having the wrong immigration debate, couched in the wrong terms. Those who oppose open borders, and especially unlimited flows of low-skilled workers from Mexico, are accused of being anti-immigration. Anyone who doubts that it’s good for America to have an amnesty for illegal immigrants and a “guest worker” program that will produce even more low-wage, low-skilled immigration is quickly branded a modern-day nativist and Know-Nothing.

But it’s possible to oppose all those things and still support healthy levels of immigration. The right debate should be about what kind of immigrants America should be admitting. It should ask how immigration can best benefit our economy and citizens. Countries with booming economies, countries that are, like the United States, immigrant magnets—Australia and Ireland, for instance—have set their immigration priorities in precisely this way, creating much more rational systems than ours. Managed as part of our broader economic policy, immigration can provide America with badly needed skills, boost productivity, and raise our living standard.

But we’ll never get to an immigration system that serves our national interest until we stop debating the issue in terms set down 50 years ago...

ANOTHER GLOBALIST PROPAGANDA

Ireland and Australia have the benefit of being island nations and so have no border to defend. I get the idea, though.

They have borders.

They just defend them with naval vessels.

I wish it were that easy for the United States.

The problem is that so many illegal aliens here simply overstay their visas.

That, and the fact that we're not willing to impose reasonable requirements-such as those in place in the Irish Republic and in Australia-upon incoming immigrants.

To add a little humor into this emotional situation..........

Ireland, for the most part, doesn't really have much of a Navy or even know how to fish for that matter Really, they're not exactly the most "water loving" folks.

I think the Jersey shore has more boats moored in their docks than all of Ireland

Seriously though, their coast is not illigal alien friendly such as the USA or Portugese coastline. Too rocky and rough for small boats.

However, as most of us know the agenda of the administration is not just supplying the nation's needs. We are under going government sanctioned illegal alien invasion. This invasion leading to conquest should not even be discussed as "immigration." Immigration is a lawful, regulated process, not the escalating anarchy we're delivered. The alien invasion is being allowed to make it seem impossible for us to remain a sovereign nation.

The socialists/communists and UN seek "equality" and an end to "disparity" which are oft confused alternative to freedom and liberty. They are not the same. Equality will reduce the world to the lowest common denominator and explains why we're being stripped. A nation of people will no longer be able to enjoy the fruits of their labors under world "equality." This will be the priviledge of our "leaders" under global government.

We should no longer allow "immigration" as the euphemism for "invasion." We can only continue fighting and educating until all Americans can accept the true end game. Time to strip the sheepskin from the wolf.

I don't think anyone could have said it better, LL.

Trying to figure out your point, SHAPKA, rotf.
I think the Irish Navy might have 2 boats to their name

I won't even touch the "army" thing........
