Despite what has been
said, we do not have to utilize billions of dollars to resolve our issues in
California. First, let’s consider our immigration policies; if we were to
actually enforce them, it would mean creating a split within the Left and
siding with the Right. Personally, I could care less about the Left and its
bizarre policies of justified white guilt, paternalism and back pedaling. In
Cost Rica, an individual that is not a citizen is not allowed to work for two
years, and even then must receive special permission to do so. Costa Rica has
created this law to protect its people from being displaced by foreigners who
may possess higher levels of education or technical skills. There are other
countries in South America that also possess various laws dealing with
immigration, legal or illegal. Yet, the Left never speaks about these laws; it
never speaks about the attempts of South Americans to protect their countries
from unwanted immigration from the U.S. or any other country. Why is that;
could it be because they are afraid that once U.S. citizens realize their
stance on immigration that we would be less sympathetic towards illegal
immigrants from South American countries.
Could
it be that if we were to place the faces of illegal immigrants on various
communication devices accessible to the U.S. public businesses who state that
they had no idea that they had hired an illegal immigrant would find themselves
excuseless, or that if we were to circulate these images throughout our social
service systems it would provide social service workers with an valid reason
for denying services to individuals that are totally incapable of speaking
English; after all how do you spend more than 3 years in California and not
speak English. Since it is, or was the dominant language of our institutions
and government; in fact, don’t most U.S. citizens speak English even if they do
speak another language. Oops my bad, I live in California and don’t speak
Spanish, but then again, California is not Mexico or South America – it’s the
U.S. and its dominant language is English. Wow, I’m an English speaker by birth
Don’t
we refuse to provide U.S. criminalized citizens with aid from social services,
college educations, and even black ball them from employment as punishment for
breaking the law.
According
to the Center for Immigration Studies, “it may be true that illegal immigrants
provide the cheap labor that keeps many industries afloat; however, in 2005
illegal workers displaced American workers and depressed wages at a cost of
$133 billion. When tax money provided by illegal laborers is subtracted from
the cost of services they utilized while present within our borders it is
discovered that a net loss still occurs despite their tax contributions. Cost
for illegal persons living within the US amount to: $2.5 billion in Medicaid,
$2.2 billion in medical treatment, $1.9 billion in food assistance, and $1.6
billion in prison and legal, and other miscellaneous costs creating a net
fiscal deficit of $10.4 billion for the federal government”. The overall costs
break down to about $2,700 per illegal household per year and these losses must
be covered by tax money from American citizens or by our government borrowing
more money, and further increasing the national debt.
In terms of labor,
construction and social service projects, don’t we have students/interns and
marginalized individuals who have enrolled in various training institutions
that need actual work experience in their elective field of study in order to
build respectable resumes; if so, why can’t we enlist them to assist in
creating: housing for homeless individuals, repair and maintain our state’s
physical and administrative infrastructure; while providing various social
services to legalized Californian residents (umm excuse me, those who were
legalized residents without any rule bending; cough, cough amnesty). Just expand
the AmeriCorp, Californian Corps and Job Corps programs into real volunteer
programs open to all native born and naturalized U.S. citizens regardless of
age who are taking various courses in both community and four year colleges
that are preparing them to fill the types of occupations listed above; in
return for service we could offer “amnesty” to those who are delinquent on
their student loans, and offer to decrease or eliminate the student loans of
those who are just starting college, or are recently enrolled in some form of
training requiring financial aid. Oh and you wannabe flower children stop
coming here the 60's is long dead; unless you got some money, we don't need you
here. We're hurting like everybody else. We’ve got nothing for ya. In short,
why can’t we solve our problems in California by just being real about them.
