Immigration

I am getting tired of this immigration debate. I am really getting tired of the protests going on against the U.S. actually enforcing it's borders. I am also tired of the pro-illegal rhetoric. But there is one thing that I really can not stand to listen to. "Immigrants are doing jobs that American won't do."

I think that is so insulting to the hard working Americans in this country that have propelled the economy along. The fact is, we just happen to be at full employment, so there are jobs that don't get taken. The Pro-Amnesty crowd will have you believe that the only way to keep the economy moving is to keep the illegal immigrants that are here. Make no mistake. Any plan that rewards someone whose first act and decision on American soil was to break the law is amnesty. Call it what you will, but that is what it is. If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, it ain't a goose.

There is a way, though, to keep the economy moving, and remove the illegals. It is called Capitalism. Right now, businesses have no incentive to not use cheap, illegal labor. However, if we were to start punishing these businesses for real, Capitalism would take over and technology would provide the labor. It has worked every time that it has been tried.

More on this subject to come. I haven't had a lot of time lately, but I am doing my best.
