Will there be a huge increase in federal tax returns from migratory farm workers? Will citizenship force an increase in wages, and in effect put more money into circulation? As long as the United States remains the world's only country that rewards criminal behavior with citizenship, there will never be a shortage of sub-minimum wage labor.
What if amnesty simply results in 15 million new unemployment claims, filed by new citizens being priced out of work by the next wave of cheap labor? These new citizens could now file for benefits once unobtainable. Is this a great country or what?
Will they all buy houses, pay property and school taxes, and partially repay their years of freeloading on taxpayers? Will these new citizens spend their meager earnings on health insurance, pay their own medical expenses, and no longer use free emergency room care?
Will our newest citizens boost our economy by no longer sending money back to Mexico each year? Remittances sent to Mexico ($16.5 billion last year) from their exported labor force is a huge item in the Mexican federal budget, and is predicted to exceed revenue from Pemex, currently Mexico's primary source of revenue, by 2011.
Unless we secure the border, by force if required, there can be no amnesty. But I can understand why the Democrats are all about amnesty. It is no longer acceptable to use the term "illegal aliens". The New Liberal Dictionary now defines this group as "Undocumented Democrats".
Blanket amnesty is not the answer. Reagan did it backwards in 1986, giving amnesty to 3 million illegals, promising to secure the border. What a huge mistake. The border was not and is still not secure, and we now have another 15 - 20 million illegals to deal with. Give these people amnesty, and we can look forward to 4o million more within 10 years. That should boost the hell out of our economy.
