Problems in both legal and illegal immigration,
their causes, and possible solutions.
(Added to this website on 9/4/09.)
The typical American citizen grows up knowing subconsciously what his or her rights are under the Constitution even when the Constitution is not reviewed periodically. This is the result of American traditions and attitudes which each American child experiences during childhood. This is not true with people from other countries who immigrate to the United States. Legal immigrants usually learn their rights within a short time and also learn that others in the U. S. have those same rights - which must be respected. Often even illegal immigrants are very conscious of citizens' rights in America because that is one of the reason they come here.
Immigration can be good for America when it brings in people who (1) will assimilate readily, (2) are honest, (3) are loyal to the Constitution, (4) can pull their own weight, and (5) enter the U.S. slowly enough to allow for assimilation to occur quickly. Immigrants can be a problem if they are not honest or loyal to the Constitution. This fact should be self-evident. If they cannot pull their own weight, they can become a burden on unemployment benefits, welfare, the educational system, and any other benefits funded by tax payers. If they come from a culture that does not allow them to assimilate readily or come into the country too quickly to assimilate readily, they do not learn how take care of themselves adequately or to vote intelligently. In regard to the latter, they can become numerous and dependent enough to gradually, through voting, create a welfare state which eventually becomes a socialist/communist state much like California has become in the last few decades. If illegal immigrants are voting the problem becomes even worse.
Mexicans and Latinos (Hispanics) who enter the United States today, unlike most immigrants from other countries, (1) come predominantly from a group of people with little education and low economic status, (2) bring in others from their extended families who also have little education and are from a lower economic level, (3) remain to together and fail to assimilate readily, (4) retain their own language and do not learn English, (5) are prime targets for those who take unfair advantage of others (con men and Communist agitators), and (6) improve their economic status only as far as the third generation of each particular family. On the other hand, these are usually eager workers, family oriented, and ethically superior.
According to an article by Jason Richwine in National Review with the title The Congealing Pot, Mexican and Latino immigrants usually enter the U.S. with lower education and establish themselves with lower paying jobs. The children of these immigrants become better educated and increase their wages approximately 50 percent over the wages of their parents. However, the third generation of the family will remain at approximately the same educational and economic level as the second.
According to another article in same magazine, Five Decades of Crisis by Duncan Currie, there is a direct correlation between family and economic status. In the United States in 1980, 18.4 percent of all births were to unmarried women. In 2002, 34 percent of all births were to unmarried women. In 2007, 39.9 percent of all births were to unmarried women. These statistics are from The National Center for Health Statistics. In 2007, "Nonmarital births represented 27.8 percent of non-Hispanic white births, 51.3 percent of Hispanic births, and 71.6 percent of non-Hispanic black births." "The most disturbing trend is among Hispanics..." who are the largest and fastest-growing minority group. "In 1980, only 23.6 percent of Hispanic births in the U.S. were to unmarried women. By 1990, that figure has reached 36.7 percent. By 2000, it had reached 42.7 percent. In 2006, 49.9 percent of Hispanic births were outside marriage. A year later, for the first time ever, more than half were. The Pew Hispanic Center says that 69 percent of first generation Latino children live in married-couple families, compared with 73 percent of second-generation children and just 52 percent of the third generation of higher. This suggest that many Hispanic immigrants are assimilating into an underclass culture - the type of culture that has long hampered the mobility of America's urban poor."
One possible solution is to do a better job of enforcing child-support laws. Another is an expansion of marriage-education programs. However, these are solutions that happen after the fact that immigration policies allow a large number of poorly educated people to come into the U.S. First, we need to close the borders so that illegal immigration is stopped. Second, we must address the fact that future immigrants who have relatives in America are given preference over others. One of the reasons for this policy is that immigrants with relatives who are already established in the U.S. are not likely to be homeless or completely destitute. This policy is good in the short run. In the long run, it is not a policy that encourages a proper ratio between highly educated and poorly educated immigrants. Some other countries have application systems for immigration that give higher points to more educated people so that there is more chance of accepting those with higher education. Perhaps the U.S. should alter its system to accept more highly educated and less poorly educated Mexican and Latino immigrants. This would not mean that the less educated would be shut out or that preference might not be given to extended family, but that enough with more education would be accepted so that a proper balance could be established.
One of World Communism's goals is the destruction of the family so that the state can completely take over the raising of the young. This allows each generation to be indoctrinated as Communist slaves and prevents nationalism from prevailing - so that allegiance to a Communist world government by the young may be more easily obtained. Consequently, things that influence, or are influenced by, the destruction of the family such as propaganda, drugs, alcohol, lack of moral fiber, etc. are encouraged by the Communists. Remember - Communists are good at destruction, but they are not good at creation, nor do they choose to be. Notice that the degree of nonmarital births in blacks is the most extreme. This came about largely from the efforts of agents trained by the DGI in Cuba who became members of the Weathermen (Weather Underground). They were the community organizers (Communist agitators) and violent revolutionaries of the 1960s.
The closing of the border and other changes necessary in immigration laws will not be likely to happen with the current administration. Communists such as Obama, Pelosi, and Reid want to keep the borders open enough to have the less-educated immigrants, both legal and illegal, moving into the U.S. so that Communist agitators (whitewashed as "community organizers") can more easily influence the vote in their favor. This is especially true when dealing with states that have a high number of electoral votes like California or Texas. In California, the 8 southernmost counties control the whole state (23 counties) with their large Hispanic population and Communist useful idiots such as those in Hollywood. This is a classic example of using a select few to dominate an entire state and, with the state's electoral votes, to dominate a whole nation.
The root of most of our problems has been those who are pro-active as either Communists or
those who manipulate Communists. The so-called President of the United States is
now Barack Hussein Obama. His fellow Communists appear to be Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid
as well as those in the House and Senate to help Pelosi and Reid. It would appear
that removing these would successfully address the root of our problems. Actually,
the solution is much more complex than that. These people are merely pawns in a
global chess game. For instance, Obama is merely the anointed rock star who can lie
more convincingly than most used car salesmen. He is a figurehead appointed by
George Soros. Rahm Emanuel takes his orders from Soros and implements them by telling
Obama and others what they are to do. Sometimes there are discussions on how
best to implement Soros' orders in which Michelle and her Chief of Staff participate.
Yes, they can be removed, but others like them will replace them. Even Soros and his
upper-level minions can be eliminated, but they will only be replaced by various
other lieutenants and cronies. The real long-term task is to replace those who are
indoctrinating our children and who have infiltrated the media, our bureaucracies, and
all levels of government. These people must be exposed for what they are, and that
will lead to their demise.
