Alert: Orderly Immigration Act
Amnesty for Tens of Millions of Invaders on the Horizon...
[Selwyn Duke] 3/28/06
While the
invasion of our nation through the southern border continues
unabated, our fearless leaders are once again busy cooking
up cures that are worse than the disease. The latest scheme
is a form of de facto amnesty euphemistically called the “Secure
America and .” And if it passes,
it could be America’s final act.
Authored
by Ted Kennedy and John McCain and poised to emerge from the
Senate Judiciary Committee, the bill has many elements, the
most troubling of which is that it offers people here illegally “a
path to citizenship.”
Here’s how it works: creating a “new H-5A temporary
visa category,” illegal aliens would have to register with
the government, pay two-thousand dollars worth of fines in total,
have a criminal background check and pass an English literacy
exam. Then, if they were employed, they could apply for citizenship
in six years. What’s wrong with this, you ask?
First of
all, just like any other plan that allows those who entered
our nation
illegally to stay, it rewards the very behavior
we want to eliminate. It sends a clear message to the world:
break into America like a thief in the night, fly under the radar
when you have to (and accept government benefits courtesy of
the average taxpayer sucker when they’re offered), persevere
long enough, and sooner or later some feckless, pusillanimous
American politicians will grant you amnesty. Come one, come all. ‘Tis
the land of the free ride and a home for the knaves.
When did we forget that rewarding bad behavior begets more bad
behavior?
As if this
weren’t bad enough, this bill would have a
culturally toxic side effect. It would lead to the naturalization
of many millions of immigrants in addition to the ones already
here illegally, and this could occur during just the next decade.
But before I delve further, it’s time for a little background.
For most
of our history we were much like any other nation. We understood
that if immigration
was to be allowed, it must
be limited and controlled, ensuring your land’s stability
and culture will not be threatened by too great an infusion of
incongruous and perhaps unassimilable cultural elements. Thus,
while the number of immigrants did fluctuate throughout our history,
prior to the mid-1960s our shores saw an average of only about
250,000 annually. Moreover, realizing the importance of safeguarding
our culture, we had (since 1924) admitted immigrants in accordance
with the “National Origins Act,” which mandated that
a given immigrant group would be allowed entry to the extent
to which it was represented in the general US population. But
all this changed in 1965.
What happened
that year? The “Immigration Reform Act of
1965” is what happened. This legislation changed both the
face of immigration and that of America, as it caused legal immigration
levels to spike upwards to about one million a year. Additionally,
it created a situation in which 85% of immigrants now come from
the Third World and half from Spanish-speaking countries, factors
which have had a jarring effect upon our culture. Press two for
Spanish anyone?
Now, you
may ask, how is this germane to the current poisoned pill bill?
Well,
one of the authors of the disastrous 1965 legislation
was . . . guess who? Yep, you’ve got it. The poster boy
for 24/7 gin mill operation himself, old Ted Kennedy.
But now let’s
fast forward to his present attempt at social engineering.
Why would the current legislation amount to a prescription
for unprecedented immigration?
First of
all, it has been estimated that perhaps as many as 20 million
illegals
currently reside in our nation. Of course,
we don’t know how many would avail themselves of the amnesty
offer, but let’s say, for argument’s sake, that “only” twelve
million ultimately qualified for citizenship. Well, then in six
years you’d have twelve million immigrants added to the
six million who would have entered legally during that period,
the already excessive number allowed by Kennedy’s 1965
brainchild.
But it gets even worse.
Since many of these invaders would be married, upon naturalization
they would be able to bring their families here as well, perhaps
doubling their number. In other words, we could be talking about
increasing our legal population by 8 percent (24 million) or
more during the next ten years.
Still, though, there’s more dire news.
The bill
doesn’t
offer much of substance in the way of proposals to stop illegal
immigration, presenting, in typical
politician style, nothing but lip service in that regard. But
even if it did, with the track record of our government, one
involving a wink-and-a-nod steadfast refusal to close the borders,
why should we believe it?
Thus, millions
more invaders would pour into our land, making her even more “secure and orderly” and creating a “need” for
yet another “temporary visa,” another amnesty scheme,
another kick in the teeth to law-abiding Americans. And with
the pro-invasion lobby buttressed with tens of millions more
voting partisans, its momentum would be irresistible. It would
be mourning in America.
Of course,
I’m
sure Kennedy and company will peddle this act with all the
salesmanship of a used car dealer. But if the
song and dance routine sounds convincing, just consider the bill
of goods Kennedy sold us when lobbying for his 1965 piece of
genius. According to Peter Brimelow in his piece The Case against
Immigration as We Know It, Kennedy claimed that,
First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants
annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration
remains substantially the same. . . . Secondly, the ethnic mix
of this country will not be upset. . . . Contrary to the charges
in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants
from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived
nations of Africa and Asia. . . . In the final analysis, the
ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not
expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think.
I ask you, would you buy an immigration bill from this man?
Fool me once, shame on Kennedy. Fool me twice, shame on my stupidity.
And don’t think I’m letting John McCain off the
hook. While the Arizona senator was fighting for his country
when Kennedy conjured up his first nail in America’s cultural
coffin, now, sadly, McCain is most assuredly fighting against
it. He appears more and more a true Manchurian candidate. It’s
time for the old soldier to just fade away.
The defenders
of the Insecure America and Disorderly Immigration Act protest
that
it doesn’t amount to amnesty, saying that
the invaders must admit their wrongdoing and pay a fine. My,
my, aren’t we becoming Draconian? I wonder, does this work
with other crimes as well? I mean, can I burglarize Ted Kennedy’s
mansion and opt for the punishment of confession and a modest
monetary payment? Hey, I can issue mea culpas as well as the
next guy. And I can even do it in an American accent.
The consequence
of coming here illegally is supposed to be deportation. Thus,
anything short of that is a form of amnesty. And we should
march on Washington with pitchforks. We were promised the immigration
levels (already excessive) of the Immigration Act of 1965. To
now peddle this legislative sleight of hand – which would
cause the nation within our nation to metastasize further – and
tell us it’s in our best interests is a true slap in the
face.
It’s
imperative that we deport the invaders and institute a moratorium
on all
immigration so we can get our own cultural
house in order. The last thing we need is amnesty, and this bill
is cultural suicide.
Any politician who supports it should be considered a traitor.
Activism
note: While this bill will probably hit a roadblock in the
House, it seems
to have the votes to emerge from Senate
committee and may even be passed by the Senate itself. Please
use the information below, contact your representatives and let
them know in no uncertain terms that you’ll vote against
any politician who supports such insanity. Deportation is not
a dirty word. -ONE-
