Amerika's
illegal immigration problem continues to spiral out
of control, but, few elected officials are willing to
discuss it. Refusing to stop the illegal tidal wave...unwilling
to face scandalous, illegal immigration, facts, the
hacks act like this political hot potato is radioactive.
Since they don't have the nads to confront this problem,
we'll proceed without them. PIG is ready to roll around
in the illegal immigration bovine excrement if you are.
To
simplify things, we'll cite the two prevailing viewpoints
on the issue: the Nanny State (parasite coddling)
view and the Capitalist (Sovereign Individualist)
view. Curiously, both advocate open borders, but they
reach this conclusion for vastly different reasons.
We'll take each viewpoint in turn, beginning with
the Nanny State punks.
Parasite-Coddling
Talking Points
Our
laws, unfairly, punish so-called "undocumented
workers"
["Undocumented" my ass! They're border-jumping
scumbags who refuse to get the big picture on our
laws: Amerika's laws don't apply to these intruders,
until they enter our country, uninvited...uncoerced,
illegally. By entering our country, they voluntarily,
submit themselves to our laws...laws that existed
before they barged in without permission. If our laws
are so oppressive, they should turn their illegal
alien asses around and go back home.]
Illegal
immigrants come here to better themselves economically,
educationally, and medically.
[An aspiring immigrant's unrequited needs are irrelevant;
they do not entitle the needy to the unearned fruit
of another individual's labor. Parasite coddlers insist
that these intruders - invaders is more accurate -
have a right to a job, an education and medical care,
even when that means someone else is forced to pay
the bill. For the down and dirty on this bovine excrement,
I'll defer to someone much, much wiser...Ayn Rand:
'No man can have a right to impose an unchosen obligation,
an unrewarded duty or involuntary servitude on another
man. There can be no such thing as "the right
to enslave."
A right does not include the material implementation
of that right by other men; it includes only the
freedom to earn that implementation by one's own
effort.' (The essay, 'Man's Rights' by Ayn Rand)]
Illegal
immigrants are hired to perform work that Amerikans
won't do.
[At best, this is a half truth, because Amerikan
business's well-documented preference for illegal
immigrant workers has nothing to do with a shortage
of willing Amerikan job applicants. Before we were
inundated by this border-jumping tidal wave, teenagers,
college students and first time workers performed
these jobs. In reality, this illegal alien hiring
binge is a marketplace reaction to profit-draining
government intrusions into business: regulations,
taxes, permits, licensing fees, etc. The reason that
illegal immigrants are so nifty for Amerikan employers,
is the fun fact that they work cheap - usually off
the official accounting ledger. Since existing laws
against hiring them are rarely enforced, there's no
downside for the company that employs them.]
Without
illegal immigrants, certain products and services
will cost much, much more.
[This too, is, at best, a half truth. It overlooks
the costs associated with illegal immigrants:
The schools their kids attend.
The free medical care used by illegal immigrants
Fighting the contagious diseases some immigrants
re-introduce into our populace - tuberculosis comes
to mind.
The crime perpetrated by illegal immigrant gangs
(Hell-A is besieged by these illegal immigrant thugs).
The cost of providing essential Nanny State services
in the border jumper's native language.
I'll
mow my own lawn. I'll even take the hit on higher
produce/fruit prices and still come out ahead, dollar-wise.
In other words, thanks but no thanks and don't
let the door smack your border-jumping ass on the
way out.]
Sovereign
Individualist Talking Points
Employers
and willing workers - including illegals - are, per
their inalienable individual liberty, entitled to
negotiate mutually-beneficial trades: the workers
services in exchange for the wages negotiated.
[Like it or not - and I hate it - the Nanny State
mandates certain benefits that the business owner
and employee are coerced into funding. When a business
owner pays an illegal - off the books - he violates
my inalienable rights by shifting his employee's heath,
education, retirement and medical costs onto the Amerikan
taxpayer - onto me. The business owner uses the government's
monopoly on the use of force to grant the illegal
immigrant worker the unearned, at my expense.]
It's
unjust to blame illegal immigrants for the Nanny State's
coercive, parasite-coddling, wealth-transferring brain-farts.
[This talking point amounts to:"Everyone
else is stealing from you, why should you care if
these border jumping parasites rip you off, too?"
Abstract discussions about government's on-going violations
of my inalienable individual liberty via parasite-friendly
tax laws and other coercive excesses are instructive,
but, essentially, pointless. There's little I can
do about Amerika stealing the fruits of my labor and
giving it to our home-grown parasites, in the short
term, but, at minimum, securing our borders...sending
illegals home...can mitigate future government raids
on my rightful property. We already have too many
made in Amerika parasites; there's no reason to import
teeming, parasite masses yearning to live off me.]
A
properly-constitutional, limited, government would
not allow the existing welfare state infringements
on inalienable individual liberty.
[We cannot base our immigration policy on the political
system Amerika ought to have. The parasite-coddling,
Amerikan Nanny State exists, wether we like it or
not. Dismantling the welfare state, as desirable as
it is, can't be achieved in the short term and it's
far from a slam dunk, long term. Therefore, of the
two viable, illegal immigration solutions - eradicating
the welfare state vs controlling our borders - strictly
regulating our borders is, slightly, more practical,
in the short term.]
Amerika
is a nation of immigrants. Throughout our history,
these immigrants helped build this nation.
[Agreed, but, in the bad old days - before the
welfare state "safety net" - those immigrants
arrived here knowing that they would succeed, or fail,
through their own knowledge, skills, hard work and/or
intellect. During those bygone days, immigrants came
here to become part of Amerika, not to plunder it.
The twenty-first century immigrant isn't here to
become an Amerikan; he's coming here to colonize us.]
In
the long run, the capitalist - sovereign individualist
- solution is the proper way to resolve Amerika's
illegal immigration dilemma, because, unrestricted
immigration requires specific conditions to render
it "no harm, no foul" for sovereign individuals.
The essential requirement is a properly-constitutional
government whose sole purpose is sustaining each citizen's
inherent, individual liberty. Such a government butts
the hell out, allowing sovereign individuals to, voluntarily,
trade goods, services, and knowledge under mutually-beneficial
terms. A properly-constitutional does not transfer
wealth or coronate winners and losers through a punitive
tax system.
Under
an individual liberty-intensive political system,
any immigrant is welcome to come and market his skills,
knowledge or energy, but, his success - or failure
- is his own, personal, responsibility, not "society's".
His needs, whatever they may be, are his problem;
they do not entitle him to the unearned, at another's
expense. The only hurdle he must surmount before trying
his luck in the Amerikan marketplace involves a pre-entry
screening. Such a screening would focus on criminal
background, contagious diseases, and affiliation with
Amerika's sworn enemies (terrorists, and other Amerika-hating
asshats.)
Unfortunately,
Amerika must sink further into its parasite-infested,
Nanny State abyss, before rational adults can persuade
a critical, Amerikan citizen, mass to install the
properly-constitutional government required to nourish
our inalienable, individual liberty. Until that glorious
day arrives, our very survival requires strictly controlling
our borders and evicting uninvited...visitors. Failure
is not an option.
