THE REAL MOTIVE BEHIND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
IS GREED

“The rise in illegal border-crossing by Mexican
'wetbacks' to a current rate of more than 1,000,000 cases a year has been
accompanied by a curious relaxation in ethical standards extending all the way
from the farmer-exploiters of this contraband labor to the highest levels of
the Federal Government.” --Dwight
D. Eisenhower, 1953 *
Mr. Eisenhower was stating that, which most
Americans overlook when they consider illegal immigration. Americans are, by
nature, a compassionate lot. They have demonstrated that fact time and time
again by their outpouring of generosity to the victims of natural disasters in
the poorer countries throughout the world. The political phonies who populate
the congress, and that chief political phony, George W. Bush, have exploited
this propensity to a sympathetic nature, and played American citizens like a
fiddle when it comes to proposals to stop illegal immigration.
Former President Eisenhower very adroitly compartmentalized the real reason for the wink, wink approach to illegal immigration by the politicians, the corporate bigwigs, the industrial and agricultural complex, and business groups, such as the National Chamber of Commerce. And that reason is simply greed, a greed unrecognized by normally adjusted people who are not possessed of money-grubbing psyches.
Of course being politicians and exploiters the
members of the aforementioned groups are blessed with a guile and deceitfulness,
which enables them to lie with sincerity and to deviate from the truth with the
convincing adeptness of a sociopath. Their lies are cloaked with elaborate
rhetoric and decorative language. They talk of Ellis Island and of the taking
in the tired and the hungry of the world until it makes even the stronger of
stomach retch. When they have reached the limit with this compassionate
verbalize, they transition, with slick oiliness, into a series of well-worn
perversions of the truth. Foremost among these prevarications is the silly
pronouncement that illegals are a boon to the economy, and that their removal
from the country would cause great economic hardship.
The only hardship that these reprobates are
concerned with is that, which would accrue to their material well-being should
illegal immigrants be removed from the scene. The corporate and business
kingpins would have to allocate some of their inordinate and obscene earnings
for decent wages and benefits for legitimate American workers, and the politicians
would be deprived of the money from these same corporate and business kingpins,
which enables them to sustain a lifetime tenure in congress where they can
partake of the perks and favors bestowed upon them by the grateful special
interest groups who purchase their votes. As to their silly delusive contention
that to remove the illegals from the economy would cause economic hardship for
American citizens, consider the following:
In view of these statistics it is most evident that the removal of illegal immigrants from the nation would enhance the opportunity for employment for millions more Americans, and it would relieve American taxpayers of the tremendous burden, with which they are encumbered, of having to support twenty million leaches of no economic value. The only losers in sight are the “for sale” politicians, the money-grubbing vultures that get rich off of cheap labor, and the Mexican government.
Don’t tell me that it is impossible to deport
illegal aliens, President Eisenhower proved otherwise when in 1954 he initiated
a program known as “Operation Wetback”. In less than a year 80,000 illegal
immigrants were deported and an additional 500,000 fled the country and
returned to Mexico in order to escape apprehension and forced deportation.
It can be done all right, and it is high time that
we get to it.
