Immigration reform, part 2

We left off previously with the offer of illegal immigrants making a declaration of good faith in such a way as to immediately go to the nearest Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency or through any of the agencies of immigration services and registering pursuant to their status. Doing this would assure them the proper identification for anything they would like to do.

With the perspective of knowing who is here in America, this 'registration process' is really part of the actual U.S. Census insofar as it will allow for the proper budgeting, personnel, and infrastructure to support the unexpected rise in costs.

Just a sidebar for those who are preparing to scream Political Correctness and the entire notion of 'undocumented immigrants, immigrant's human and civil rights,' and everything else under the sun, be advised that treating this illegal status as anything but what it honestly is – illegal is to defecate on America's founding documents; moreover, crush a nation that used to pride itself in the "Manner of Law."

We certainly have no problem with immigration; albeit, when it is done in controlled fashion as it is designed. Make no mistake about it, we – every single citizen of the United States – with a reasonable mind knows that this country was built and maintained by immigrants.

Yet our question remains the same; namely, is coming in hoards – illegally – the proper way of achieving the end result of prosperity? We feel the frustration of those others' who are somehow stymied in a quagmire of bureaucratic malfunction at no fault of their own. Should the law abiding person in Europe, Asia or South America be forced to wait ten or more years because untold millions have recklessly disregarded proper procedures and placed undo strain on legal immigration?

Illegal Immigration should cease immediately
I have become convinced that the safety of our institutions, the continuity of our prosperity, the preservation of our standards of living, and the maintaining of a decent level of morals among us depends upon a most rigid limitation of immigration and the maintaining of a rigid standard as to even those few who may be admitted...Albert Johnson, The Alien in Our Midst,1930.

The real victims of illegal immigration are basically in two groups. The first is the working poor Americans. When illegals cross the borders and begin to work most employers find themselves in a position to be unscrupulous by paying less than minimum wage. When wages are driven down as well as unemployment taxes, health insurance, and whatever else the government wants to take, this scenario does in fact place burdens on those other industries, thus causing an over-burden on public assistance.

We are convinced that the new minimum wage levels are better than they were; however, if employers can hire someone who will work for lower than minimum it no longer becomes effective for the American worker to consider those wages; we are convinced that this is what is meant by "taking jobs from Americans" as well as "we do the jobs that Americans don't want too..."

Briefly until later or even tomorrow, when one considers that illegal immigrants send approximately 65% of their earned wages back to their home countries what have we to say about the free market system? Moreover, with respect to the Federal Reserve, the figures we're addressing is somewhere near $20 billion dollars per year.

Therefore, as a second measure of immigration reform we suggest that there be some type of internal controls put on the Federal Reserves to monitor the funds going out of the country, albeit in cash stuff envelops or multi-family transfers.
