The Next Wave to Save the Union

For all of the hoopla about illegal immigration there is one point that tips the scales. It hasn’t been articulated, but may very well be a saving grace for the country. Aside from Republicans quivering to special business interests and Democrats throwing open the gates with a megaphone shouting, bring us your tired your hungry and especially your criminals, there is a profound factor in having immigration proceed with little legal limitation.

First let us agree, since most American’s do, that the borders must be secured. The Mickey Mouse game Congress has been playing leads the populous to believe that its time for more than a third party. It’s time for the people to take back their government. That implies force if the knuckleheads in Washington don’t get the point. Some quarters on the political extremes have been entertaining the idea it, if not yet voicing it.

When the population feels strongly about such a vital issue, it is ill advised to have representatives with a collective tin ear. They are in their jobs to represent their constituents; not to run roughshod over them. Congress has not acted responsibly in the national interest to quickly eliminate illegal immigration.

The government only has two basic responsibilities. One is to protect and defend the nation by raising armies, and declaring and implementing war when necessary. The other is to provide a social net of some source for those incapable of sustaining themselves. The latter shouldn’t entail a large body of folks, but forms of government always work better on paper than in practice.

Securing the border for protection, and enforcing the laws are what the population desires. Don’t let people with illegal status, nor terrorists across the border. Fence it, and punish any business substantially that hires illegal workers. Once these steps are implemented and the border is secured then letting everyone apply legally to be here is the way to go. The masses know this, and have been telling their government. The government is not listening.

The Republicans have squandered their chance and the Democrats have pandered in the name of courting the sensitive and potentially powerful Latino voting block in this country. That is fine and dandy, however placating the majority of Americans, which by the way outnumbers the illegal Alien’s in this country by 20 to 1, is the least the Congress should be doing. Representatives should bend to the will of the people by creating tough measures and enforcement; not amnesty. Instead both parties are salivating over each other in their usual misguided way to achieve a political advantage of the future.

Here’s the part that has yet been articulated, but which needs to be contemplated. Apart from the three ring circus, the main reason to support the influx of aliens into this country is one of self preservation. No country or empire in the course of human history has withstood a declining rate of reproduction in its populace for very long. Unfortunately for the U.S. that downward spiral began with the advent of “the pill” and has slid ever since. The death of the family is leading the decline of the culture. It is time for an infusion of new blood; one that is family and work oriented. Ethnic groups that are disposed to raising the birth rate will be the saving grace of America. That waive of immigrants is crossing our southern border.

The amount of illegal immigrants in this country would make up about 15% of the Mexican population. Perhaps making Mexico the U.S.’s 51st State would be the quickest way to lessen the immigration problem. Just deputize the whole country by making everyone an American citizen with a land purchase. Something akin to the Louisiana Purchase may be in order south of the border.

Latinos, it is estimated will some day make up a hefty percentage of the population. Residing in close living quarters and being poor, fuses families together in ways unfathomable to the privileged. They create a bond that lasts generations. That family strength gives rise to extensive reproduction and necessitates a work ethic. This is the condition many illegal immigrants and legal migrants find themselves in when arriving in the U.S. This “culture down under” in America is similar to the very foundations of past immigrant waves that built this country, and made it strong. Whether the language that is spoken in the U.S. is English, Spanish, or perhaps a combination of both will soon not be the issue; survival will!

Whoever this rising tide of Latino’s votes for in future elections is of little consequence to what is important for America. The fact that the current wave fits all the criteria in the way that the Irish, German, Italian and all of the other groups of immigrants did before them is of substantial consequence. The Spanish heritage is destined to mingle with the U.S. They are profoundly necessary if the country is to survive the coming scourge of Islamic radicalism beating the war drum against western values. The more Latino’s who become American’s the better for the country; not because of politics, but because they will proudly carry a gun and defend their new homeland. There is no greater reason to let immigrants in the country legally.

A quick solution on illegal immigration is essential because we are losing valuable time bickering about politics. The last time we did that buildings fell in New York; enough of the infighting. It’s time to welcome our Spanish brothers, and any others who want the American dream. It is time to invite them to fight with us for the sake of the nation because they have already demonstrated their values by risking their lives to get here. They too have already spilled their blood, and taken great risks in their own fight for freedom. There is nothing more American than that.
