Subject: HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE HEARING REGARDING S 744
Date: Sun, 26 May 2013 19:53:43 -0400
Chair Goodlatte & Ranking Member Conyers.......
As
difficult as it was I forced myself to watch and listen to hours of discussion
given to the who knows how many millions of illegal aliens are in the country
and what should be done about it and our "broken" immigration system
facilitated by none other than those sitting on the committee.
One
thing that would be helpful is if Rep. Conyers would actually use the actual
Federal language when talking about illegal aliens.........they are not
immigrants........they are not undocumented......they are simply illegal
aliens. Let me offer if you can not even use Federal Language describing
the subject how can you be serious about a solution?
It
is amazing you people talk around issues and don't address them. Well here are
a few questions if you are serious about solving the legal and illegal
immigration problems:
1. I
keep hearing about we need more legal immigration? Why? We have no virgin
lands to settle? One of the committee members talked about how much the 1986
illegal aliens granted amnesty contributed to the country! Really? What started
out at less than a million morphed into three million that with families
imported grew to nearly 15 million. Here is the kicker.......of the three
million granted amnesty only 40% actually became citizens......the rest content
with legal status. The same basic percentages are running true of those
admitted legally......64% of Mexicans have not become Naturalized citizens and
only 56% of all immigrants have become citizens. The bottom line is: Today's
immigrants aren't here for love of country but for the welfare wagon!
2.
You talk about eliminating magnets like jobs to deter illegal aliens from
coming but I have not heard word one about amending the Immigration and
Naturalization Act to require one parent to be a U.S.A. citizen for a baby born
here to be a citizen. Month after month 30K to 40K babies are born and paid
for by U.S. taxpayers of parents who are here illegally and later used as the
hearts and flower stories about how terrible it would be to deport a parent
from their U.S. child. You are ignoring the child is a citizen of the country
the parent is being deported to.
3.
We treat illegal border crossers or visa overstayers as simply a misdemeanor
offense. Why aren't these violations of U.S. law made a felony offense?
4. We
have protected the Korean border since 1953 from an armed enemy for 60 years,
why can't we secure our southern border as well?
5.
Returning to legal immigration, has anyone had the sense to question what is
the optimum population for the U.S.A.? By the remarks about how great
immigration has been I suppose not.
6,
We are the third most populated country in the world but you act as if we have
a shortage of labor. There is no shortage of labor. As Milton Friedman said "work
visas are corporate welfare!"
On
this weekend of honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice to allow you to
sit where you do, I grieve whether their sacrifices were worthwhile?
