The Immigration Debate
am really surprised by the audacity of illegal immigrants to challenge the system and the fact the law enforcement was a bystander when millions of lawbreakers were walking, came as a shock to me.
I don't understand why so many lawbreakers are tolerated, when a mother who forgets her child in a car, faces five years in the prison.
US may be a nation of immigrants, that only explains how the country was populated, it doesn't explain the success of the country. The success of US was due to law abiding people, philanthrophy, top quality education and many other factors. The fact that congress is tempted to legalize lawbreakers on behalf of another set of lawbreakers (business who employ them), sets the country on a slippery slope. These actions sets the country on a slow path of destruction, when the damage is realized it may be too late.
I am amused by the reason put forward by the people who advocate for illegals. I would like to answer some of the points.
Point:
Agriculture economy will collapse.
Counter Point:
Why produce strawberries in US, when it can be bought from any other country like bananas.
Point:
They mow our lawns.
Counter Point:
I thought people mowed their own lawns untill recently.
Point:
Restaurants will close.
Counter Point:
There are too many restaurants in US leading to misallocation of labor, if some restaurants are closed net impact on the economy will be zero.
Point:
Deporting 11 Million will be dificult
Counter Point:
US had a prison population of 4.5 million, which indicates handling 4.5 million is not difficult. Last year 600,000 were deported beyond the 1 million stopped at the southern border.
I don't have anything against any ethnic group but giving amnesty (By any name) is not acceptable to me, in the interest of long term stability of the society.
