Our Immigration System Ain't Broke?
A couple of days ago, in the wake of
the 7.8 magnitude temblor and some 100 aftershocks in Nepal affecting thousands
of ancient structures, temples, and homes, senior statesman Sen. Charles
Schumer (D-NY) dropped some happy-talk to listeners.
(NB: We were fortunate to have
visited this once-isolated, Buddhist/Hindu/animist civilization well before the
current earthquake, and our memories are still firm in evoking its splendors
and naïve beauty. We ‘summated’ Base camp Everest, too, before we turned
around.)
‘Why don’t we bring a few thousand
of these displaced persons over here from Kathmandu, and when their city is up
and running again, they can go back…?’ Schumer wanted to know. His amen minions
applauded prettily, not querying the deeply ignorant premises of this
suggestion.
We are of course accepting not
dozens, not hundreds, but thousands of “refugees” monthly, coming in over the
legal skyways. Somalis, Syrians, political prisoners, Sudanese, even Koreans,
Pakistanis, and their brethren in long-term distress or familial
self-betterment. Add to this the by-now famously unstoppered avalanche of
illegals streaming across our southern borders from some 60 countries, not all
of which are by any means friendlies.
To stash these raggedy aliens and
undocumenteds away out of raw-nerve territory, foreign affiliate President
Barack Hussein Obama has his people salt unsuspecting and largely unprepared
towns and metropoli across the continent with these often-penniless,
ill-educated, unpolished, unyielding, footsore unsophisticates -- whether the
recipients are willing or no.
Mr. Schumer: towns in Sweden and
Norway, Holland, and neighboring countries have had a bellyful of sustaining
this empathy-extensive program to ungrateful, non-assimilating, multiply-wived
shari’a culture who have ratcheted up the rapes per square inch by several
factors.
We are fortunate to have caught, in
this regard, Law Professor Jan C. Ting. Temple University Beasley School of Law (former Assistant
Commissioner, Immigration & Naturalization Service, U.S. Department of
Justice. He spoke on “Examining the Adequacy and Enforcement of our Nation’s
Laws.” Prof. Ting was the featured speaker at the May meeting of the Center for
Immigration Studies on West 51st Street in Manhattan.
Professor Ting’s incisive,
crystal-clear elegant exegesis described the binary choice presented us: Reject
the cascading incomers. “They may be dumb, but they aren’t stupid.” They are of
course as “capable of cost-benefit analysis as anyone.
His thesis is as obvious as it is
under-declared: This country’s immigration laws, designed to safeguard the
American polity and its citizenry, have been ignored, flouted, and
countervailed in the service of the malign twofer: PC/political correctness
(which amounts to bullying of those holding opposing and traditional views),
and Democrat desperation to achieve long-lived and perpetual Democrat rule.
Ting’s suggestion is to reverse the
Barackian trend. Increase the costs of illegal inflow, and lower the benefits.
Conversely, what the current lawless
administration is oversharing is the oppo: border rules are being relaxed,
border patrols emasculated, while questionable benefits for illegals are
being increased.
Laws that discriminate against EU and
developed country immigration into the States are archaic but remain
impassively on the books, while the open-door come-hither to the Third World
has been expanded irrationally, as for example seen in recent “surges” from
Hispanic states.
As with the natural ecology, far
from adding to the host-country tax base, such infiltrates and quickly
melded-in “foreign species” disturb the local flora and fauna, take local jobs,
undercut local salaries, and purloin the oxygen and resources intended and
earmarked for suffering locals.
By magically waving his executive
privilege -- which Ting asserts have been used and abused more than with any
prior presidency -- the current president has failed to safeguard and
protect his constituents. Instead, he has made extant laws irrelevant and
unenforceable. New illegals, who only sketchily pay taxes from jobs to which
they are not entitled, by using stolen Social Security numbers that do not go
toward their record, end up even stealing further treasure in the form, Ting reminds
us, of Earned Income credits, whereby such individuals and extended illegal
families get “tax returns” in the many thousands. The plan on the ground is for
the president, without a shred of Constitutional backing, is ready to sign into
order an illicit amnesty, 30 years after Reagan’s declared “last amnesty,”
creating an intake of 5,000,000 more unchecked undocumented Democratic voters -- before the 2016 election season.
Could-be Democrats. Could-be
diseased. Could be packing. Could be -- terrorists in training.
Could be a lot of things.
"Voters" shouldn’t spring to mind.
As anyone with a room-temperature IQ
knows, it has been about the bumping up of Democrat voting rolls right from the
git-go. This president is of course from Chicago, the mother of all corrupt
Democrat cities. His own record is sealed, but blemished by innumerable dirty
tricks historians will be gleeful about recording after BHOs skulks into
retirement.
Returning to Senator Schumer’s
risible suggestion on domiciling all the Nepalis after the ‘quake: Chuck Schu
seems to have been a pol for so long that he has forgotten the first rule of
hosting strangers. The ability to pay for this hosting largesse.
We cannot bivouac, educate,
medicate, and translate for thousands of noncitizens from afar. We cannot
provide incomes for them. We cannot hire them, at the expense of the ailing
economy and our 50-plus million unemployed and underemployed citizenry.
Moreover, when and how do we decide
to fly them back to Nepal, after they’ve gotten a glimpse of the colossal
candy-store PX that is the Washington piggy bank?
This is not tikkun olam
-- fix the world -- tough love, Senator. It’s the more ridiculous and immensely
more costly huff-‘n’-puff love. Politicians have grown accustomed to droning on
the slogans of the simple-minded past: the word “broke” focus-groups
well, and compresses a multitude of [erroneous] sins. If you intone the
nonsense often enough, and run from the reporters’ questions, you
can bypass logic and reason, making your way directly into the
over-stimulated compassion centers of… dimwits.
Repeat after us: Money taken
out of the kitty for noncitizens detracts from the money left for infrastructure,
schools, roads, medical facilities, job programs for the long-suffering
regulars. And even, bleeding hearts, foreign aid. We do not have the
gelt for these suffocating gifts.
To slightly update the real estate
xenophobe’s acronym, NIMBYB -- not in my backyard, Bozo.
Will Senator Schumer
share his bed and board for these oh-so-faraway unvetted strangers?
