Do We Want Latinos to Get Citizenship?
by Jeff Davis
Many of our politicians -especially George Bush- are falling over themselves saying that illegal aliens deserve a chance to get legal citizenship. Oh really? Does an escaped prisoner deserve a chance to continue living outside jail? If we reward the criminal crossing of our border by millions of Mexicans, won’t that encourage more illegals to come? Jimmy Carter granted an amnesty in the ’70s. That did not solve the problem. Bill Clinton granted an amnesty in 1995. That did not solve the problem. Just eleven years later we have an estimated 20 million additional illegal aliens. An amnesty by George Bush will just make the problem worse as earlier amnesties have done. We could be looking at 50 million illegal aliens in the next ten years.
Third World people bring with them Third World moral standards –if any. The popular picture of the poor, persecuted little immigrant is that he is some humble Jose who just wants to come here and work and work like a dog mowing lawns or serving up burgers in order to “make a better life” for himself and his family. This is baloney. Mexico thanks to its inept government produces millions more people than their economy can support. The United States is the dumping ground for this excess population. We are literally being forced to pay for another nation’s mistakes. Mexico needs birth control. China and India have enforced birth control on their populations and so should the Latino factory to the south. The US can’t keep absorbing ever greater numbers of Latinos in amnesty after amnesty.
Even the nicest Latinos cost American taxpayers a fortune. Every Latino child born in America gets 12 years of free public education at about $9,000 per student per year. That’s $108,000 for every Latino child. You can bet that Magarita, the waitress at the local family restaurant, isn’t making enough money to pay the tax bill for her children. That bill gets dumped on our heads. (more…)
