Alex Alexiev of the National Review has penned an article lambasting illegal immigration and blaming it for many, if not all, of California’s woes. More precisely, he mentions the lower educational achievements of Californians as of late, the crippling economy, and the fact that many Californians are leaving for other states, then he continues:
“In short, we are witnessing a highly advanced and prosperous state, long endowed with superior human capital, turning into the exact opposite in just one generation. What can be done to stop this race to the bottom? The answer is simple: California and Washington need to enforce existing immigration law.”
His reasons are as follows: “First, the immigrant population is more than double today what it was following the most massive previous immigration wave (that of the late 19th century)”.
Of course, the entire country’s population today is more than triple what is was back then, which renders this point moot (Besides, is he saying the government should decide which immigration population is ideal?).
The article continues: “Second, and much more important, as scholars from the Manhattan Institute have shown, earlier immigrants were much more likely to bring with them useful skills. Some Hispanic immigrants certainly do integrate, but most do not.” These are, of course, two different points, which Alexiev tries to combine, and that go hand in hand with what was said by Senator Ellison Durant Smith of South Carolina:
“Without offense, but with regard to the salvation of our own, let us shut the door and assimilate what we have, [...]—and develop what we have, assimilate and digest what we have into pure Americans, with American aspirations, and thoroughly familiar with the love of American institutions, rather than the importation of any number of men from other countries.”
Of course, Senator Smith said this is 1924, when rallying against immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe, who he said would never be assimilated. For an article that follows more with our line of thinking, we direct you to “Restriction or Legalization? Measuring the Economic Benefits of Immigration Reform” by Peter B. Dixon and Maureen T. Rimmer of the Cato Institute.
By now most business are conscious of the federal program E-Verify? It distinguishes US citizens and legal residents from illegal labor. Although not seamless, it has a 99.6 success rate and obviously will overtime become even more constructive to business that believes in the “Rule of Law.” Opponents in both the business sector and even on Capitol Hill have released a torrent of abuse against the application. That includes its function is blind to counterfeit documentation and spurious ID and that even legal individuals can be rejected? SO–YOU GO TO THE SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE TO BE EXONERATED? ONLY ILLEGAL WORKERS WILL SHUN TURNING TO SSA FOR RESOLVING THIS ISSUE.
The open border conspirators are losing, as they did in a federal Maryland court a week previous. As E-Verify are perfected it needs to become a permanent tool in the incomplete arsenal of immigration enforcement. It needs to reach out to every company, big and small, in our country and every individual who works there? E-Verify eventually will expel foreign national from the workplace, without financial appropriations on a large scale. These people will self-deport when they cannot be hired anymore. Businesses facing huge fines and prison will be the ultimate deterrent. In time it will save our ailing schools, health care, home mortgages and government welfare system. Look to NUMBERSUSA for honest an answer, that includes costs to taxpayers for the new blanket AMNESTY. Which Senators and Republicans are anti-US American Worker and their immigration grades?
For an example Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) has a miserable enforcement grade of “C-”. He was out to erase E-Verify, under fund the border fence from the beginning of the Democratic administration. Then JUDICIAL WATCH is a public watchdog group Promoting Integrity, Transparency and Accountability in Government, Politics and the Law. They uncover misconduct by government officials and litigation to hold to account politicians and public officials who engage in corrupt activities. Finally CAPSWEB informs the public about the coming nightmare of OVERPOPULATION that is already exhibiting itself in our deteriorating infrastructure.

Incidentally regarding the 2010 Census? Small states will miss out big time on federal dollars, while mass illegal immigrant states will gain more seats in Congress and too much power and influence? Of course ICE could check the immigration status of those who are co
