History is repeating itself....During the Reagan Administration we attempted an immigration plan similar to the one now on the table. It was a disaster for our country in the 80's and it will be a disaster now. I am all for LEGAL immigration, but the plan being advocated by the moderate senators will make the situation worse.
In the early 1900's our country welcomed the people of Europe with open arms, but they still followed the law to gain citizenship. The flood of illegal immigrants to this country are going to overwhelm our infrastructure and collapse our economy. In 1992 Pat Buchanan spoke of a "Cultural War" in the United States and he was skewed by the media as a bigot. His point was that people who seek citizenship in this country should become Americans and assimilate into our culture and enhance our culture by bringing in the ways & traditions of their old country and blending that into the fabric of America. If we do not stand up to the Ted Kennedy's and Lindsey Graham's we will sink under the tide of immigration. I have heard some of the lawmakers claim that this immigration plan is a compromise and neither side can get what they want. My response is build the wall on the southern border and aggressively enforce our immigration laws by way of jail time and deportment. It would seem to me that a better use of tax money would be to protect our borders by building a wall as opposed to spending it on social programs for people who have not contributed one dime to the economy. It is time we send a message to the United States Senate that when it comes to immigration enough is enough and if they do get this message then maybe we can get their attention by kicking them out of office. The political party that decides to make this cornerstone of their platform in the 2008 election will sweep into office.
