Fighting the Undocumericans

With all the people screaming about how all the illegal immigrants should be arrested and deported from the USA. Don’t they realize that it’s pretty much impossible at this stage now that the population of illegal aliens is now in double digits?

There has to be a different solution to this problem, it’s out of control and it isn’t getting any better. The USA has a large deficit and it’s growing, even though they swore to God that it’d be butchered in half by 2008 but will that happen? We’ll have to wait and see. With the deficit, it will be more difficult to use more resources to capture and deport the illegal residents. The public schools are already suffering due to poor funding and with the expensive costs of the wars; it won’t be easy to fund the agencies to chase these people.

There need to be a different solution, the USA cannot risk any more than it already has to use more resources to chase people around while the population keep on exploding. It will cost you even more in the future, somebody need to come up with a plan. I don’t know what can be done, we don’t have this kind of problem in Canada, we do have illegal aliens but we are able to keep it under control. We even do kick the refugees out of the country after a lengthy stay. It’s sad because many of the refugees have proven themselves to be law-abiding tax-paying civilians of Canada. With all the bureaucracy, it’s bound to drive me absolutely bonkers.

As of now, there’s an estimated population of 12 million illegal aliens from 8.4 million in 2000. What a difference 6 years can make. Yet they try to point fingers at countries like Canada and more for “harbouring” terrorists. They can’t even stop the Mexicans from entering the USA illegally. It’s amazing what blame games they resort to, they only have themselves to blame, and we didn’t encourage anybody to do it to the USA. The truth is, the President of America has a soft spot in his heart for the illegal aliens. Whether you want to admit it or not, do you remember his “Temporary Worker Program” proposal for the illegal aliens that got shot down back in January 0f 2004? It cannot be denied that President Bush is pushing for the illegal aliens to become legal residents of the USA.

It’s a great danger to the people of America economically wise. There are millions of unemployed Americans and it’s bad enough that they lose these jobs to these people. Not only that, there’s a large number of legal immigrants who went through hell to be granted the permission to reside in the country. I imagine they must feel quite insulted when they see these who are undocumented granted the freedom to reside wherever they wish to after breaking the law.

I wouldn’t be surprised if most people are able to “vaguely” recall it, it was swept under the carpet so quickly that one wouldn’t had the time to listen to the plan. Though there were good intentions in it, but the flaw was… it takes the job opportunities away from the legal US residents. Our-sourcing jobs isn’t helping much either, there’s even rumours of Apple setting up a call centre in India.

I do have great concerns for the welfare of the legal residents of any countries, they shouldn’t be denied the job opportunities and be given to illegal aliens who are willing to work for less. Wal-Mart has been guilty of hiring quite a number of illegal aliens and there is an occasional big bust at a big-box retailer for hiring undocumented civilians. Many, many American employers are hiring undocumented civilians because of the lower costs, I don’t think enough American employers are being arrested and sent to the prison. In fact, I believe American employers should be held on a higher account and be sought by the Federal agents because these people are encouraging and funding the illegal population to expand at an unstoppable rate.

The conclusion is, go after the employers and slap them with severe punishments. I believe it will slow down the population growth because not so many employers will resort to such a tactic after seeing all the harsh punishment being laid onto the people of their kind. In my opinion, none of them has to do with moral values; it's an economical problem. People should be held accountable for deliberately sabotaging the economics of the USA.

Punish the employers, not the illegal aliens. It’ll only cost the government more. This is an alternative solution and a potential reduction in costs to fight the ongoing illegal immigration problems. It's just an idea, there are many more ideas with a lot of potential. With the nasty deficit breathing down their necks, they should go back to the drawing board and go over more ideas on how to fight it.
