Hello! Welcome! Come on in! Wait…do you have your papers?

I wonder how many people who are expressing anger and outrage about what is being said about the law are really concerned about its implications. I am referring to Arizona Law SB-1070 that was passed in direct response over the problems of illegal aliens trespassing, the environmental degradation of the desert habitat and property rights of the landowners who have had guardianship of these lands, some owners for many generations. We're talking about break-ins, robberies, kidnapping and now possibly even murder of these ranchers, who are isolated and alone as they take care of their land and cattle…even towns and cities are running scared. This state law law does nothing above and beyond The Title 8 United States Code section 1325, "Improper Entry by Alien." This is the Nationality Act, Section 237 (a)(1)(B) This law was passed by the Congress and signed into law by an American President. It is the "Law of the Land." The hue and cry over the Arizona law is being inflamed mostly by mainstream news agencies and entertainers who jump on any current bandwagon for the fame and attention they seek regardless of the damage it might cause, to the detriment of many who are actually involved with the problems. Congress is using this national angst to make political hay and are pushing to cobble together a quick law on immigration reform and get it passed before the November elections, hoping to cash in on the Latino voting bloc.

Everyone, please take the time to read the Arizona Law and the pertinent parts of the U.S. law. Take a read at the complete national immigration law but get a pot of strong coffee and maybe some No Doze. Check the facts of these laws, both state and federal. I call on all journalists and entertainment types to put a fire extinguisher on this fire instead of oil. The country doesn't need this right now. If any of you want a fair and balanced look at U.S. law try reading the Mexican Ley General dePoblacion (General Law of the Population) the outrageousness of it was highlighted in a research paper that was published in 2006 by The Center for Security Policy, in Washington, D.C. This Mexican law is a real eye opener. The Mexican government will bar foreigners if they upset the equilibrium of the national demographics. Say what? If an outsider doesn't enhance the national economic or national interests, or if he shows contempt for the government, he is not welcome there.  He must not be an economic burden, and must show a birth certificate, a bank statement that proves he is financially independent, take a health exam and prove he can provide his own health care. Document fraud is subject to fines and imprisonment, as is alien marriage fraud. Illegal entry is a felony which can get you a  two year prison sentence. Evading deportation is a serious crime, as is illegal entry after being deported. These crimes can get you ten years in prison…that's in a  MEXICAN PRISON, FOLKS, WHEW! Everyone is required to cooperate in enforcing immigration laws, from the Mexican military down to natural citizens who are required to make citizens' arrests and turn the culprits over to the authorities. Everyone is required to show their ID papers if necessary! Mexico maintains a Catalogue of Foreigners, tracks all tourists and foreign nationals. A National Population Registry verifies the identity of everyone and they must carry an identity card. Tourists and other visitors who do not have proper documents and ID papers can be arrested as illegal aliens. There is no public clamor for real immigration reform in Mexico, because pro-illegal speech by outsiders is not allowed. (Remember those quaint little Mexican prison cells with all sorts of criminal elements to share with.) The list is long on what is not allowed by non-citizens, including limited property rights. The Mexican government is demanding that we grant mass amnesty; while the Red Cross protests the treatment of South American illegals and what they must endure by the police, military and gangs (it is hard to tell one from the others) at Mexico's southern border. Many of these people are only on their way north but are left penniless, homeless and hungry in a very dictatorial country. Mexico also instigated an agressive plan to curtail illegal Cuban immigration.  

Arizona harsh and unsympathetic? GIVE ME A BREAK! The illegal Mexicans in our country are not wanted back in Mexico, which is most likely why President Calderon is complaining about our imagined human rights violations. Sending back 10 million or so into his own country could help to destabilize his government even more, quite possibly resulting in a more democratic government for all Mexicans. But look how those numbers are destabilizing our economy. If it's their problem or ours, my vote is for them to solve it at home, in Mexico.

P.S. a good read:

"Whatever It Takes: Illegal Immigration, Border Security and the War on Terror"

by J. D. Hayworth.
A really good book that examines all forms of illegal immigrations including "anchor babies" which I touched on briefly in my blog thetruthtzar.blogspot.com/2010/05/iet-phone-home-phone-home-go-home.htmlHere there and everywhere.
Another good read is the "Study of the Costs of Immigration" by the National Academy of Sciences about the actual costs of illegal immigration to the country (U.S. Taxpayers.) It's a real eye-opener, especially in these times of economic duress that America is undergoing.

P.P.S. I wonder if  Latinos realize that 30% of our legal immigrants come from Mexico. This means there are less spots available for  immigrants from other countries, including other Latino countries. Mexico doesn't seem to want to give up a percentage of their immigration quotas so the other Pan-American countries can increase theirs. Why do we allow more Mexicans into this nation than any other country? It is certainly not fair.
