We wish beyond measure that we could wait until both congressional houses picked-up the debate on illegal immigration a.k.a. 'immigration reform' but as we all know our current government has yet to enact anything promised during the campaign; therefore, what would you call that?
In other words, however politely we are able to state that we believe that Comprehensive Immigration Reform measures are going to be debated with bipartisan logic and a reform will come about that is pleasing to everyone involved, well we just can't. If the transition phase from Bush to Obama, or Obama's first 100 days in office are any indication of immigration reform – we'd (citizens of the USA) better get to work now.
Mind you it's not like we haven't been doing our fair share. We've run series after series on immigration reform, pondering illegal immigration, and making suggestions that are somehow falling on deaf ears. So it is time to get moving and publish some of the suggestions we've received from our readership as well as various organizations who have had our back, and then again, from those experts before us.
Unite to Reduce Illegal Immigration
"It is the duty of all Americans from Maine to Texas and from Washington to Florida to forget the dissensions of the past and unite in an effort to reduce immigration to the lowest possible point or stop it all together, and compel the foreigners now here either to accept our traditions and ideals or else to return to the land from which they came, by deportation or otherwise." Madison Grant, The Alien in our Midst, 1930.

Madison Grant, The Alien in our Midst, 1930.
We are those kinds of individuals that look at past indentures, failures, and other means of totally messing something up for the rest of the law abiding world. Moreover, inasmuch research and studying that has gone into this current dilemma – and being American citizens – we believe we have not only the right but also the obligation to assist to make things acceptable.
We are not sure who the 'elites of Washington' think they're kidding; furthermore, one should come to the understanding that everyone in this country today is going to have to make some concessions in order for the absolute whole to work.
Pork stuffed bills with earmarked untold millions for special interest groups is not the way that this current problem with illegal immigration will ever be solved. Furthermore, no matter what promises were made during a campaign and by whom too ensure a segment of a voting demographic is not the answer any more than 'acceptable paths' to citizenship will work either.
There is in fact one issue that remains constant through this entire scenario; and as ugly as it is, and no amount of political correctness can ever change this notion: illegal immigrants have broken our laws to immigrate to the United States to achieve, prosper, and live a better life. First order of business is the unmitigated solemn oath of full-disclosure of illegals that are currently in the country.
We believe that this would be showing good faith and start a process of getting a true and correct record of the situation as it stands today. Therefore, having made this suggestion we will continue daily unless something of more importance comes up, although we doubt that will happen.
