Guard the Borders--And Face Facts
By George Will

WASHINGTON -- America, the only developed nation that shares a long --
2,000-mile -- border with a Third World nation, could seal that
border. East Germany showed how: walls, barbed wire, machine
gun-toting border guards in towers, mine fields, large irritable dogs.
And we have modern technologies that East Germany never had --
sophisticated sensors, unmanned surveillance drones, etc.'

This is pure bull*** Steve :-) East Germany's wall was to keep its
citizens INSIDE East Germany and was built to prevent their escape to
the West. Any wall we might build would be to keep people OUT, people
who seek to illegally enter and become a financial burden on our
nation. Nice Nazi/Commie comparison on Will's part, but its juvenile.

Of the estimated at least 11 million illegal immigrants -- a cohort
larger than the combined populations of 12 states -- 60 percent have
been here at least five years. Most have roots in their communities.
Their children born here are U.S. citizens. We are not going to take
the draconian police measures necessary to deport 11 million people.
They would fill 200,000 buses in a caravan stretching bumper-to-bumper
from San Diego to Alaska -- where, by the way, 26,000 Latinos live.
And there are no plausible incentives to get the 11 million to board
the buses.

Ahhhhh....."the 200,000 buses myth," the latest sound-bite of the
corporate drive to keep their slave workers :-) Actually, we don't need
any buses. Increase enforcement efforts by empowering local police to
enforce the immigration laws. (I'm retiring in July, just to assure
those who think this is being advanced just to further my jingoistic,
anti-immigrant, racist stance :-) Start enfocement in January, and
check back with the cops in November. You'll find that 800,000 have
been deported in year number one, with little effort and very little
notice. It's an easy problem to solve, hold people accountable for
breaking the law...

Facts, a conservative (John Adams) said, are stubborn things, and
regarding immigration, true conservatives take their bearings from
facts such as those in the preceding paragraph. Conservatives should
want, as the president proposes, a guest worker program to supply what
the U.S. economy demands -- immigrant labor for entry-level jobs.
Conservatives should favor a policy of encouraging unlimited
immigration by educated persons with math, engineering, technology or
science skills that America's education system is not sufficiently
supplying.

Now he's just shilling for Bush's immigration program.....


Within a decade, the New York and Washington metropolitan regions will
join the Miami, Houston, Los Angeles and San Francisco regions in
having majorities made up of minorities, partly because immigrants
have higher birth rates than whites. Since 2000, births, not
immigration, were the largest source of growth of America's Latino
population.

By the year 2050, America's population will be 500,000,000 if the
illegals continue to come. Our economy can't support that, neither can
our society. Also, he uses the word immigrants. The operative word in
this equation is not immigrants, it's ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, a critical
distinction. They are not "undocumented." They are not "migrants." They
are ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. They have no right to be here. They have no
right to the jobs they hold. They are not doing jobs Americans refuse
to do. They're a burden on our social system, and in violation of our
laws. Send 'em home, and send George Will with 'em :-)
