Bush Regime Does Token Immigration Raids
by Jeff Davis
It seems to be finally seeping into the thick skulls of the criminals and incompetents who rule us that the American people are enraged and on the verge of revolt over the issue of illegal immigration. Michael Chertoff, who heads the Department of Homeland Security, is trying to fool us into thinking the Bush regime might enforce the law. The government’s policy seems to be to LOOK like they’re doing something about the illegal invasion, while actually doing nothing at all to cut into capitalism’s supply of cheap Third World labor.
An Associated Press article reports “The Bush administration is planning new efforts to curb illegal immigration by raising fines and speeding up deployment of border agents after failing to push through legislation earlier this year. The proposals would raise civil fines on employers who hire undocumented immigrants by as much as 25 percent and overhaul temporary worker programs, according to a summary of the plans obtained by The Associated Press. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez planned to announce the changes in a news conference Friday. The administration also wants to expand the list of international gangs whose members are automatically denied admission to the U.S., reduce processing times for immigrant background checks, and install by the end of the year an exit system so the departure of foreigners from the country can be recorded at airports and seaports.”
In other words, having failed to give amnesty to 20 million illegals in this country, the administration now wants us to believe that they’re serious about enforcing the law. All very nice-sounding, assuming any of this would ever actually be implemented, which it won’t.
The same article notes “employers will face possible criminal sanctions if they don’t fire employees unable to clear up problems with their Social Security numbers.”
So there will be “POSSIBLE” criminal sanctions. And I suppose there will be some more token raids picking up a dozen illegals here, fifty there, a hundred someplace else–although how many of these will actually be placed on a plane or a bus out of the country will never be reported. As soon as the media leaves and the cameras turned off, Bush will release the illegals back into the same town, where they caught them.
Look, there is no mystery here about what needs to be done, and no mystery about what the American people want done. Brown people, who very clearly do not belong here, need to be stopped by police of any kind who see them, be they local sheriff’s deputies, city police, FBI or whomever. They must be ordered to show proof that they are in this country lawfully, and whatever documentation they produce should be subjected to foolproof on-the-spot checks, which shouldn’t be so hard to do since the false IDs they buy on street corners are of poor quality. Then they need to be arrested, detained for as short a time possible and sent back across the border. This needs to be done to every single illegal alien, not just token numbers in token raids. And it can all be done under existing laws.
We will need a president who believes in the Constitution and the importance of law and order to accomplish this. Only one presidential candidate, Ron Paul, has a good chance of winning the 2008 election, and would resolve the illegal alien problem, the right way, by enforcing the law.
