An acquaintance of mine who supports illegal immigrants and open borders recently claimed that ‘enforcement advocates’ have a ‘stupidity gene’ that stops them from seeing the ‘obvious benefits’ of legalizing illegal aliens and opening our borders to all who want to come here.

While I have no doubt that there are some people who support enforcement for ‘stupid’ reasons, I posit that the ‘stupidity gene’ infects folks on both sides of the immigration debate. I notice it also among people who insist that importing millions of impoverished, third world people is somehow a good thing for this country.

That's a GREAT idea. Let's depress American wages to the tune of $200 BILLION dollars a year. That's a great way to keep the economy afloat. Well, at least the stock market, anyway. It doesn't help the 50+% of Americans that AREN'T INVESTED in the stock market, though, and THEY'RE the ones who's wages are hurt the MOST.

While we're at it we can over-run education with millions of school-aged children who are illiterate in their native languages, and penalize American children's education by making them wait while the 'poor immigrants' catch up. Let's try to teach them in cramped and over-crowded trailers while we tax ourselves silly throwing money at a problem that money can't solve.

Let's overwhelm our law enforcement officers and swamp our judicial system with hundreds of thousands of hardened criminals whose ONLY reason for being here is to further their criminal enterprises.

We can even close ANOTHER 400 hospital ER's by giving free medical care to people who need a paid translator to tell the doctor where it hurts, and then proceed to complain of a sore throat or a sprained ankle.

Let's continue to put American's out of work, and force them to choose between groceries for their kids or the mortgage payment. Foreclosures are at an ALL-TIME HIGH already, maybe this would be a good time to buy cheap and get into the slumlord business.

Speaking of slums, let's continue to encourage these fine folks to live 20 or more in a 3 bedroom home, park multiple vehicles, running or otherwise, in their front yards, play their music at 100 decibels at 2AM and decorate our shopping centers with their colorful gang graffiti.

Yeah, that 'stupidity gene' sure does get around...
