Why Congress and the White House want Illegal Aliens
We have an enforceable immigration policy. Our Officials refuse to enforce it. Our
immigration policy is make believe.
When asked why Congress doesn't order the president to secure our borders. Rep. Tom
Tancredo (R-Colo.), chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, said "A
lot of pressure is put on individual congresspeople to not do anything about the borders
for fear of impeding the flow of cheap labor." "This country has become hooked
on cheap labor."
We have about 20 million illegal aliens in this country now. Doesn't Bush think this is
enough. How many would be enough to provide all the "cheap labor" his industry
friends need.
This is not "cheap labor", but subsidized labor. Subsidized with U.S. tax
dollars for higher crime rates, an increased threat of terrorism and multicultural
bilingualism.
Employers from factory owners to large scale vegetable farmers to families seeking a nanny
or a gardener want the cheapest labor they can get. The problem is that Americans are not
hooked on cheap labor as much as they are suckers for cheap prices.... no matter what the
real cost
Illegal immigration's cheaper labor leads does not lead to cheaper prices for goods or
services.
Bush to "jobs that Americans don't want." Americans would want those jobs held
by illegal immigrants if the jobs paid more.
Even after Sept. 11, 2001, concerns about possible terrorist infiltration, serious
border-security measures are having a tough time getting through Congress. President Bush
is more eager to talk about amnesty programs than border security.
The federal government estimates that a million migrants cross the Mexican border
illegally each year. Other immigrants who want to remain in America just overstay their
visas.
Sanctions against employing undocumented workers are hardly enforced. Politicians fear
offending employers who (pay them) with their campaign contributions.
