Press One For English

How many times have you made a call on the phone only to hear “PRESS ONE FOR ENGLISH” and when you press one you still can not understand the person on the other end? You do not have to press one to read this article and when you read it, it is in plain English, easy to understand and with maybe a few mistakes in the spelling or grammar but you will get the point.

America is so different and unparalleled from other countries on this earth because this country was was founded by immigrants from all over the world. This country is known as “THE GREAT MELTING POT”. For the most part the immigrant were hard working, God fearing people. These immigrants had a vision, work ethic, values, courage, and a pioneering spirit which help The United States to become the greatest nation on earth. Most of the immigrants came here by choice and all of them sooner or later dissolved and melted into that GREAT MELTING POT called American Society, Not THE GREAT SOCIETY. While it took longer for some than others, these people and their descendants in the end became a people who believed in "One nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all." They learned the nation's language, the nation's history and just blended in. Most, but not all, modern immigrants to the United States are not much different, but there is a dark side also.

Unlike the distant past, immigration now consists of two elements: legal and illegal. Very few Americans are against a moderate amount of legal immigration, regardless of race, nationality or ethnicity, but most Americans are against any amount of illegal immigration, regardless of race, nationality or ethnicity because all Americans, or should I say most of them, want things done right and most important to abide by the law of this land. This is plain to see in the poles taken just recently about the new law in Arizona. Americans do not want illegal immigration.

The illegal aliens, are not just a "Mexican" or "Hispanic" problem. It is only that most illegals are now from, from Mexico and the huge majority of illegal aliens are Hispanic. For the most part Americans are not against the Hispanics. It is all the illegals that they are against. That is not discrimination. The majority of The American people are against any people, no matter what their race, nationality or ethnicity, being illegal aliens in the United States of America.

We are told that illegal aliens are simply hard working contributors to American society and are only doing the jobs Americans will not do. This may have been so years ago. What do I mean by saying that? Most illegals are not coming for the jobs anymore because they are coming for the free hand outs. If there was no more illegals there would be no one to smuggle across our southern border the heroin, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines, which infest and plague The United States. A secure border would reduce the U.S. supply of methamphetamines by 80%. Our hospital emergency rooms would not be flooded with everything from gunshot wounds, to anchor babies, to imported diseases, to hangnails, giving American citizens the day off from standing in line behind illegals who pay nothing because the man or women (Americans) in the back of the line pays the bill.

Here are just some of the bad affects of illegal immigration that we must face in this country every day: [1] It is a easy way for terrorists to enter the United States, [2] large increase in crime,[3] It increases multiculturalism/ segregation/ divisiveness instead of the American melting pot which is the right way, [4] It increases the desire for Hispanics to reclaiming the South Western states for Mexico, [5] It is a main contributor to the surging population of this country, [6] It has a impact on society and infrastructure, including education, [7] Illegal immigration is also the main cause of emergency rooms and hospitals closing as well as service cut backs, [8] introduction of third world diseases, [9] increased welfare costs, [10] and the massive cost of all this to our society.

Except for when an illegal alien does something really bad and out of the way, such as killing police officers like Denver Police Officer Don Young and Los Angele Deputy David Marchs , we rarely hear about the crime being committed specifically by illegal aliens. "At the federal level, the number of criminal aliens incarcerated increased from about 42,000 at the end of calendar year 2001 to about 49,000 at the end of calendar year 2004--a 15 percent increase. Boy! I wonder what it is now in 2010. The GAO issued a report, number GAO-05-337R, entitled Information on Criminal Aliens Incarcerated in Federal and State Prisons and Local Jails on May 9, 2005, prepared for the Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims. It noted: The percentage of all federal prisoners who are criminal aliens has remained the same over the last 3 years--about 27 percent. The majority of criminal aliens incarcerated at the end of calendar year 2004 were identified as citizens of Mexico. That is a documented fact. This just goes to show you how the Federal Government who is responsible for securing the borders are not doing their jobs but are allowing more and more illegal aliens to violate the sovereignty of the United States. However, when the illegal aliens commit crimes and are arrested, the federal government is paying less and less of the state and local costs of incarcerating them. That puts the burden on the state and the tax payers.

If you look over those numbers like I did, you will see that this study only shows about 21% of the incarcerated illegal aliens. For you and me to get the full picture and degree of the harm these illegals are causing us, we need to reason out the average number of offenses out across all 267,000 incarcerated illegal alien criminals. When you do that you will see it results in at least 1,288,619 crimes and what about the ones not reported. Our Government is continually telling us that illegal immigration is a "victim less crime" and that they are only here to do the work Americans don't want to do? “Yeah Right you can tell those idiots just fell off the turnip truck” It must be the work that the American criminal will not do, don't you think! Our country is going to hell in a hand basket to save ten cents on a head of lettuce.

Other states should be like Arizona and start protecting their people from these criminal elements in our society because the Obama government will never do it. They would rather have the votes from these people to keep them in office and to get there agenda passed. President Barrack Obama has slammed the tough new Arizona illegal immigration law that was signed by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer. The Mexican government has slammed the new Arizona illegal immigration law but nothing is said about the crime and lives that it will save. The Mexican street gangs are the fastest growing street gangs in this country.

A new Rasmussen poll reveals that 70% of voters in Arizona support the new illegal immigration bill passed by the State Legislature. Only 23% oppose the bill. Now that the bill is signed into law, the bill would make it a crime to be in the state of Arizona illegally. The poll also asked voters how immigration will impact their decision at the polls, and 83% of Arizona residents said a candidate’s position on immigration issues is important. Seventy-three percent of respondents also said that it’s more important that Congress secure the border than offer an amnesty for the nation’s 12 million illegal aliens. When will the Obama crowd ever get this or do they get it but have a different agenda?
