Immigration, IMO, is not the problem that you think it is. The problem is more that we keep these people as illegal, and they remain in something of a limbo. Many of them don’t pay taxes, but god help you if you try to deny them medicare, medicaid, or any kind of health benefits. Oh, and if you try to prevent them from voting, kiss your ass goodbye. The best thing to do would be to make it so that people can easily immigrate legally (we would prevent known terrorists of course, probably about as effectively as we do now), but why deny most of these people entry? They are contributing to the economy, the only reason they are currently a drain is because they don’t pay taxes. Make them legal and they will. Even better, implement the fair tax and it won’t matter if they are legal or not, they’ll still pay taxes. Once they are paying taxes, they cease to be any more burden any other citizen, and probably less than most. I realize that a lot of people are currently concerned with border security because of the terrorist threat, but do you actually think our current policy is preventing anyone who wants to get in from doing so? If you do, would we be any worse off by allowing the people who now get in illegally to come in legally? The only issue I really have is cultural integration, and I think even some of that would be alleviated by making them legal, as then they would not feel the need to hide from participating in our culture and integrating with it instead of secluding themselves in pockets of their own.
Now as to whether this is going to contribute to us becoming a more socialist/communist/fascist state, that I don’t know. We are already heading down that road at apparently breakneck speed, but I don’t think immigration is the problem here, it is more a problem of the consequences of many of the “welfare” type of programs that have been started by the government over the last 50-60 years, starting with FDR and the New Deal giving us Social Security, continuing with government funded welfare programs, government funded corporate subsidies, government funded farm subsidies, government funded transportation subsidies, etc, etc, etc, ad infinitum. I honestly don’t know how to get out of the situation, as it appears that more people today are concerned with getting what is “owed” to them than with taking personal responsibility for their own situations.

Subject: Immigrant Invasion
This past weekend, the demonstrations or invasions of the immigrants were extremely startling. The biggest questions I had throughout all of the media coverage and even Monday’s talk radio was “Who could organize this?” There is no way you can have 100,000’s of people protesting at the same time in different cities on the same days without an organization having a significant amount of power and financial resources to motivate that number of people. So yesterday I researched the net for hours, trying to find out who is behind this. When I finally found out who it was it hit me in the face like brick. The motives of this organization are to totally bankrupt our economy, welfare system, healthcare system, etc. to ultimately lead to more government control. Having free flowing immigration overwhelm our society is one of the fastest tools to do this. It was hard for me to fathom that this organization has been operating right here within our own borders and no media outlets have exposed them. Even more devastating is to see how many people support this organization right here in the USA and how much influence they already have on our government. Yesterday, at the Senate Judiciary committee that would offer illegal immigrants a temporary work permit, Nancy Pelosi said we don’t have enough information about this not to vote for it. Yesterday Bush even met with Mexican and Canadian reporters and told them to give him time he would convince the House to vote for this. The only government official that I have even heard oppose this is Trent Lott on FoxNEws this morning. He said that this demonstration totally offends him. These people come to our country illegal and take advantage of our current system and resources and then protest because we will not make them citizens. This is the only voice of reason I’ve heard. Anyway, just in case you are still wondering who this is that organized this it’s called Communist Party, USA. Visit there website. http://www.cpusa.org/ Or more importantly google the name. It returns 9,080,000 web page references to this party. I’m sure you can do all of the research you both want on this. It is stunning how much influence they have and yet nobody talks about them. The other major organizations involved with organizing this according to Sean Hannity were the labor unions trying unionize these immigrants. I found all of this information yesterday and emailed. Dr. Burton about it. He called me last night and told me to turn Michael Savage on. He even had more information about it on his program last night than I had researched. He also mentioned and made references to the Catholic church being involved with this also. More on that later. It’s all sickening. By the way, with our wonderful war on terror and Homeland Security, as of December of this year Americans citizens will not be able to leave the country not even to the Bahamas without a passport. So basically, government can tell the citizens when they can come and go, but as far as illegals you are welcome anytime, come and go as you please.
