President Obama's Common Nonsense Immigration Reform Ideas

President Obama's whitehouse.gov website features a 'Common Sense Immigration Reform' article that lacks common sense. The President's ideas reflect the politically correct fantasy paradigm about what America is and who Americans are.

"Together we can build a fair, effective and common sense immigration system that lives up to our heritage as a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants."-President Obama

Without letting all U.S. law enforcement officials have the right to arrest and remand to federal custody illegal aliens no fence, border security bill or anything else King Canute might pass as legislation will stop illegal immigration. That is common sense. However many illegal aliens are made legal an equal number of new illegals will arrive to replace them and provide the cheap labor the middle class and rich like so much. Laws of supply and demand actually work and with the President's leadership they work best for the rich and government collectivists.

 It would be possible to build an eco-border barrier zone of salt water desalinization canals across the Mexican border I suppose yet the U.S.A. does not build macro-engineering projects anymore-it's more of a runty era of U.S. history in a moderately brain dead political elite.

The rich broke unions, outsourcing jobs and flooding the nation with cheap immigrant labor after the 1970's ended. The middle class also like cheap workers-California has a two-class society of those with high minimum wages and those working under-the-table at below minimum wages. Sure that's corrupt, yet the illegal aliens shouldn't be here to start with and neither should lawful immigrant cheap labor move over the border. Wages should rise for local, legal workers in the paradigm of labor supply and demand instead..

Common sense is that if 11 to 20 million illegal aliens become legal residents it will be about impossible to filter through those to find newly arriving illegal alien workers. Basically the U.S.A. will admit defeat on border control and just try to arrest drug importers and terrorists, except where some states are developing legalization of illegal drug use I suppose.

With millions of illegals moving toward a lawful work status able to take minimum wage jobs the value of legal labor will become cheaper and wages stagnate for the poor-if they can even get a job competing with younger, healthier former illegal aliens. Well, American citizens earning fewer than $20,000 a year are disposable trash anyway for the middle class, rich and government sinecure collectivists.

What might help would be to cap government employment at 20 years so that informal exclusive social class doesn't get second helpings on tax dollars and instead have to compete in the private enterprise realm they are unfamiliar with to learn a little more about the life of the peons comprising the U.S. populace outside the beltway and optimally massaged statistics of the Department of Labor. In an actual democracy public opportunity to work for the government should be shared more equally than it is now.

Mexico is a good country, and I don't hold it against them that I couldn't find a bonita seniorita when I visited in 1987, yet it can be made much better with eco-conservation, more humanitarian economic development and pressurizing of political and economic interest by slowing down to a trickle illegal migration to the U.S.A.
