Splitting the Country in Two. A look at how the progressives are trying to divide and conquer us.

Ask anyone this past two weeks and the “hot button” issue is by far immigration reform. Arizona has just passed a bill that will allow local law officials to enforce the somewhat ignored federal immigration law. Many states are following close behind. It’s no wonder why the states are lining up to pass similar laws... Immigrants that pay no taxes, but still get paid under the table and use government programs are a drain on the economy and the local, state and federal budget (Which are all funded by OUR tax dollars!). Some immigrants have also been responsible for drug, human trafficking, and even murder and kidnapping of American citizens. Despite all of these issues with immigrants, the progressive’s label the people that support the AZ law racists. They tell everyone that we are not compassionate enough and that these people just want a better life for themselves. They use this propaganda to steal the hearts of the weak minded and turn them against any and all opposition. I urge you not to be fooled by this propaganda. There whole point is to divide us. When we are divided due to false and exaggerated propaganda, they can pass anything they want to pass behind a smoke screen. The national media's response to the Arizona law is a perfect example of this type of propaganda. The people of the state of Arizona wanted to stop the killing and kidnapping and they took a pro-active approach by adopting this law! I do not find this law racist! I do not find this law heartless! I think it is a very good first step in the fight against the immigrants that are destroying the country. I’m sure by now you are wondering, why would the progressives want to allow these illegal immigrants in? Several reasons! One, VOTES! These people will vote for any asshole politician that allows them to live here. This is why the current administration is pushing for amnesty. The second reason is power. With the illegals cause havoc on our economy, it forces Americans to become more reliant on the government and therefore giving them more power over the people. Now, the progressives want you to believe that the only way to help out the immigrants (for those of you with a heavy heart and a weak mind) is with amnesty. Again, this is more propaganda used to split the country! What is REALLY needed is a way to encourage good hard working immigrants that want a better life to come into the country while keeping the lazy and the criminals out. How can we do this? Here’s how! First thing we need to do is streamline the process of allowing a certain number of immigrants in every year and make it a little cheaper for them. This will allow the people in that just want a better life for themselves. The second thing that needs done is not allow them to take part in any government funded programs for at least 10 years. This will ensure that they WORK for their living and don’t just suckle off of the mother government that is our welfare system. To discourage criminals we need to enact a sort of probation period for all immigrants that in those first 10 years or so, they cannot engage in illegal activity. If they do so they will be punished with harsh penalties which may even include sending them back and never allowing them to come back. These 10 years will be tough on an immigrant, but if they prove to be hard working and strive to be a worthy addition to the American society, they will be granted full citizenship. I feel this is a great way to give people the American dream without being a drain on our economy and our tax dollars. Instead of allowing the progressives in power to divide us as a people, we need to THINK for ourselves and come up with solutions that will work and then get those put into laws. We need to take a pro-active approach to these issues instead of just bickering about it!

  1. Hey Jonny, read your blog...and I respect you opinions, but I have to say I'm concerned about the validity of your facts. I spent much of my semester researching immigration reform and found the following:

    Over half of undocumented individuals in the United States pay taxes. Federal, state, income, and sales. not only are the undocumented persons living and working in the United States not a drain on the United States economic resources, but they have proven to benefit it.

    An example of this is that the SSA has found that undocumented persons in the US “account for a major portion” of the billions of dollars paid into the Social Security system. Of which they cannot benefit from. "As of October 2005, the reported earnings on which these payments are based—which are tracked through the SSA’s Earnings Suspense File (ESF)—totaled $520 billion."

    All of the information I found over the past few months has contradicted your claims about taxes and illegal/criminal acts.

  2. A quick addendum to my last post: They all obviously pay sales tax...100% of them, not just over half.

    Also census data shows that:
    from 1994 to 2005 violent crime dropped by 34% and property crimes decreased by 32% as the undocumented population nearly doubled.

    Also, most illegal residents of the country, because they are illegal, are not reported in regular national crime statistics. It's actually proven that most metropolitan areas that contain the largest populations of illegal immigrants are statistically "safer" (less crime). Here's a great study done on that. http://contexts.org/articles/files/2008/01/contexts_winter08_sampson.pdf
