Demagogue-in-chief: Support amnesty for illegals or you’re a demagogue

No Obama, you’re the demagogue! You and the Left want to change the demographics of the country to continuosly win elections. A 4-year-old can figure this out. Liberal Republicans want open-borders and more legal immigration purely for cheap labor. Newt Gingrich and his guest-worker programs, John McCain and George and Jeb Bush all sing the same song. Amnesty/immigration increases have never given the GOP more hispanic voters. You want the Hispanic vote? You cut immigration levels, then you assimilate the immigrants. Which means English is the official language and we as a society try to end multiculturalism…I know, good luck with that. Immigrants assimilate when their communities aren’t replenished with more of their own countrymen and then the immigrants disperse to the broader American society. The United States had massive immigration at the early 20th century. Immigration was mostly European, however all the same problems of Balkanization, non-assimilation, poverty, competition amongst jobs by natives and foreigners existed. Then the GOP dominated congress, passed an immigration reduction bill signed in 1921 by Harding, then another reduction bill in 1924 signed by Coolidge. These bills drastically reduced immigration to a couple hundred thousand per/year. Anyway there was no welfare state either, then you combine that with 40 years of restriction and assimilation and you have the “Melting Pot” effect until it was changed in 1965. In 1965, you had Medicaid, Medicare, and the Hart-Celler Immigration act of 1965 passed. This increased immigration everywhere with chain migration, and changed the location for immigration to come from mostly the third world. Immigration levels were promised by Ted Kenneddy and the Democratic congress not to go up and not to upset the Ethnic mix of the country. What a lie! Illegal immigration also soared b/c of all these changes and no enforcement. Folks we’re not Germany or Japan where people are dying out. Americans have children at replacement level (2 kids per woman). Do immigrants have a little more kids? Yes of course. Yet, is it enough to supply the country with workers to fix the dependency ratio for Social Security, or whatever these people whine about? No it is Not! The Census bureau even acknowledges that massive immigration as a means to fix the worker dependency ratio doesn’t work. Our supply of workers is fine, if you want more workers, increase the child tax credit to $8,000 instead of the current $3,000. $8,000 is the inflation equivelant of the Child tax Credit back during the Baby Boom of the late 40′s-50′s-early 60′s. Tax Credits, coupled with lower taxes across the board as well as a tighter labor market helped to create the Baby Boom. The GOP should lower property/income taxes and get rid of stupid environmental and property regulations, all these laws do is drive up the cost of living where people can’t afford to have more children. Nixon was good on some issues, However, Nixon in 1968 established a Population-Stabilization Commission, to talk about saving the environment from “Over Population!” Nixon along with Environmental wackos helped to brainwash many Americans that they should have ZERO children so the world wouldn’t blow up from a lack of resources. Time has proven Nixon wrong on this issue. Even with Massive immigration after 45 years, we still have 90% of land in the USA that’s not developed and can be for homes, etc. We have alot of out-of-wedlock births b/c our welfare state hands out money to women who bare children. Another incentive to having more kids who are your future workers is to get rid of abortion! Killing a million babies a year doesn’t help anybody. We have to wait until there are judges who can strike down Roe v. Wade, so what do we do until then? Try to restrict it or amend the law. So how do we properly solve our dilemma? Secure the borders, use attrition to get the illegals to go home. Deport the most violent. Cut immigration levels, assimilate them, Make English the official language. Then at least try to do the other policies I mentioned, We’ll be a better society b/c of it. My research came from the Center for Immigration studies for immigration legislation and labor impacts, NumbersUSA for Nixon’s involvement, and a Google search on Richard A. Easterlin, who was a demographer who researched the Baby Boom in 1961.
