Divisive Democratic Rhetoric

I am somewhat amused by the protestors in Arizona who are concerned that illegal aliens might be wrongly and intentionally targeted by the police and immigration authorities; amused in the sense that one day these same people who are protesting will gladly accept an implant or a mark on their body (Revelation 13:16) that will be used for identification and to track their every movement. President Obama and his entourage have sided with the illegal aliens for political reasons rather than to uphold the existing laws of the land, and they will be proponents of this identification system. 

America’s illegal alien problems can be laid at the feet of the governing authorities, both Democrats and Republicans, and to individuals who blindly ignored the laws for their own personal benefit.  I consider myself one of those since I allowed undocumented workers to cut my grass, clean my house and do building maintenance and repair work on my property. 

At first they were inexpensive and “underground.” Now they are mainstream. Their job pricing or work pricing is pure capitalistic.  In other words, their prices have gone up based upon the nasty old capitalistic supply and demand theory. Their quality of work and work ethic was and still is exceptional; at least that has been my experience.  You too may have also turned a blind eye, but even if you did not you certainly benefited from lower grocery pricing, faster fast food service and numerous other services that have been provided by illegal alien workers. 

The problems are now so many that sending these people home is no longer a viable option.  Illegal aliens who have integrated themselves into neighborhoods, local schools, business ventures and who have become contributing members of society cannot simply be deported to their home of origin. Our economy would suffer, as there would be no one to do the work they perform.  Sure, we have unemployed citizens, but they are not willing to do what they consider menial work.

Gang members and other criminal elements of the illegal society can most certainly, and should be, rounded up and deported. Why are we as a nation not doing this? 

The illegal alien problem cannot be resolved as long as divisive individuals and organizations—President Obama, Nancy Pelosi,  major network news and perhaps the new NAACP—refer to the Tea Party members and supporters of Arizona’s immigration law as racially motivated in an attempt to discredit and marginalize these individuals for political reasons only.  Give law-abiding citizens of the United States a break!  We want honesty and integrity restored to our government. 

That’s my simplistic view of the illegal alien situation America finds itself in.  Name-calling, protesting and other acts of hostility should cease, and the Legislative Branch of our government should debate this issue and find a solution.  In the mean time, close the borders and stop the political bickering. 

I have heard it suggested that a law is needed that will prevent illegal aliens from ever obtaining the right to vote (no amnesty granting citizenship and voting rights) as long as they did not enter the United States under existing immigration laws as they are written today?  No voting status, no problem. 

What do you think?
