The United States, as we all know, is in the midst of a silent invasion by MILLIONS of third worlders. It is estimated that between 14 and 20 million illegal mexicans alone are residing withing the soverign borders of the US. This accounts for ONE IN FIVE mexican nationals. Of these, it is estimated that around 1/3 are on public assistance of some sort, although the exact numbers are impossible to determine. In many areas in the US, especially in Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico, etc., entire cities have been destroyed and taken over by illegals, almost ALWAYS turning these cities into gang and crime-ridden slums. Anywhere there are large numbers of illegals, the hospitals go broke under a diluge of non-payments (It's impossible to force someone to pay when you don't have any idea of who they are), schools become violent third-world day-care centers (i.e., gang recruitment centers), and law-abiding American taxpayers are forced by their Social Redistribution focused government to pay more and more for the support of an exploding number of social paracites.
So what should be done about these people? I purpose the following:
1. Since we all can conceide that the unskilled-labor offered by some of the illegals is useful. I believe that a work visa should be issued to those who:
A) Can positively prove their identity
B) Have, or can develope, a solid work track record
C) Have a clean criminal record.
2. Such 'work permits' will only be issued to ACTUAL WORKERS ONLY. No more bringing mama, six illiterate kids, two brothers who always seem to find themselves in jail for drunk driving, papa, and the crazy cousin. I frequently work out of state, and I don't bring my wife, kids, parents, cousins and dog with me. The fact that entire families sneak across the border should provide an infallible defense against the liberal "They only come here to work" argument.
3. Migrant workers are not eligible for ANY public assistance programs. If you can't make it. Go home.
4. After 10 years of positive, productive work history, a permit-holder may apply for citizenship, and may achieve it, provided the following criteria are met:
A) Applicant must demonstrate a functional working knowledge of the English language.
B) Applicant must demonstrate a reasonable ability to support themselves and family.
C) Applicant may bring immediate, 'nuclear family' members into the US, providing they meet criterias 'A' and 'B'
D) Applicant and their family are ineligible for public benefits (welfare, WIC, food stamps, HUD) for 10 years.
5. Any major criminal convictions (felonies) immediately disqualify the individual from permit elgibility.
6. Any foreign national caught without a work-permit is immediatly positively identified and deported. If caught again, it's a complimentary one year stay in a Maricopa-county style tent city. Make it a better option to do things legally.
This is not meant to be racist or mean-spirited. I have mearly tried to present a common-sense approach to this issue which we as Americans can no longer afford to ignore.
What say you?
