Many political figures are offering their solutions to the humanitarian crisis in Haiti. Elliott Abrams, a senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, wrote an op-ed in the Washington Times saying that what Haiti needs is a Diaspora. Abrams says that “a larger Haitian Diaspora would be a far better base for the country’s economic future than aid pledges that may or may not be met. If several hundred thousand more Haitians were able to migrate, those Dominican, Honduran or Salvadoran numbers suggest that remittances to Haiti would give its economy a huge and continuing jolt. Abrams points out that the Haitian Diaspora sends home $1.9 billion in remittances. In 2007 the US gave Haiti $210 Million in foreign aid. Considering the poverty we would be importing it would cost us much less just to send the money directly in aid. Thanks to Israeli Lobby which Abrams has a major role in we give Israel approximately $3 Billion a year in aid.

Welcome to the USA!

The shooting at Ft. Hood by an American Muslim of Palestinian descent has sparked up much of the usual rhetoric about “Islamo-fascism.” Since 9/11 many Americans consider America at war with radical Islam and to some even the entire Muslim world. Some are even calling for banning Muslims from the military, which is unconstitutional.

There were many suspicious signs that the shooter Nidal Malik Hassan had radical beliefs, but political correctness kept those in positions of authority from taking action. Hassan had stated that he wanted out of the military and was even willing to offer financial compensation to leave. Hasan was set to be deployed to Iraq and did not want to go and kill fellow Muslims.

It is easy to take a knee-jerk reaction toward these type of tragedies, but much like 9/11 they are a product of our government’s policies. While some political hacks say we are hated for our freedom, the reality is that we are engaging in wars against Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan, unconditionally supporting Israel over the Palestinians, and continue to have our troops in Saudi Arabia, which Muslims consider Holy Land to protect oil interests. All of these along with the promotion of decadent immoral culture by Hollywood in the Muslim world are reasons that there is a rising tide of Islamic extremists who are willing to sacrifice their lives and freedom to kill Americans.

Once an entitlement program is started it never stops.  It never shrinks.  It never stands still.  It always grows.  According to the Mainstream Media it’s merely rightwing spin to say Obamacare is meant to become a single-payer one-size fits all public option.  However, President Obama’s own words easily found online plainly tell us this is his goal.  When the Best-Congress-Money-Can-Buy returns they’ll pass something, calling it Insurance Reform until signed by the Commander-O-Chief when it becomes National Health Care.  It’ll start small and grow.  This is merely the beginning of the re-making of America.  Then comes Cap-N-Trade, mandatory pre-K, paid volunteerism, the Fairness Doctrine by any other name, and of course the Key.

Our current immigration policy, both legal and illegal are adding approximately 2 Million people a year to our nation’s population and we are expected to have a half a billion people by mid century.  Many of these new citizens will be concentrated in the southwest where water resources are becoming scarce.  Much of our wilderness is being destroyed by Urban Sprawl, caused by massive population growth. Why are so many environmentalists refusing to address the impact massive immigration is having on the environment?

Some of the earliest advocates for conservation in American history were President Teddy Roosevelt and later Charles Lindbergh, both of whom were American Nationalists.  Since the 1960’s, The left has dominated the environmentalist movement. The same 60’s liberals who claimed the issue as their own also saw a liberal immigration policy as part of  their social justice agenda. They supported LBJ in signing the immigration act of 1965, which has had a massive impact on Population Growth. Since than the left has had a monopoly on the issue and made it taboo to link the affects that massive immigration has had on the environment. They have gone out of their way to demonize anyone who is for restricting immigration as a racist or xenophobe.

Despite receiving the majority of middle class votes, George Bush was one of the worst presidents for the middle class. Bush promoted  free trade deals that are sending our jobs overseas and promoted amnesty for illegal immigrants and greater guest worker programs while our borders remain unsecured. Bush continued to spend until breaking Lyndon Johnson’s record on increasing the size of government, while borrowing from nations that are not the friendliest, such as China and Saudi Arabia, leading to the current financial crisis while the federal reserve printed money out of thin air, devaluing our currency. Bush did pass massive tax cuts, but they favored the wealthy and did nothing to address the budget deficit.

ALL RIGHT MAGAZINE:  The stated goal of the Federation for American Immigration Reform is to reduce immigration to around 300,000 per year.  As it stands, the number is about 1,000,000.  What’s the difference?

FAIR: The difference is a higher quality of life for all Americans.  Stopping illegal immigration and reducing legal immigration is critical to every aspect of our well being.  We need a “cooling off” period. The annual level of admissions has been running higher for longer than ever before in our history.  It’s out of control because it’s fueled by the greed for cheap labor by big business, instant votes for the political parties, and the desire to increase membership and political clout by the ethno-centric groups.  The demands of these groups seem to dictate our immigration policy – a policy that is really intended to serve the broad national interest, not the needs of special interests.

The state of our current immigration policy doesn’t reflect our past American heritage, and it’s not in our current or future best interests.  From 1925-1965 we had what is often called the Golden Age of Immigration.  The numbers were controlled and sustainable, about 178,000 a year.  At no time in history were immigrants more welcomed, assimilated as quickly, or done so well.  But from 1965 to 1989 the numbers skyrocketed to about 567,000 annually.  And then from 1990 on, we are seeing more than 1 million arriving every year. The growth is so large that California has to build a school every day just to keep up with new immigrants!

We simply do not have the space, the resources or the capacity to absorb them all.   We are oversupplying our markets with cheap labor, burdening our schools, hospitals, jails, and testing the limits of our natural resources and energy supplies.

Yes, we are a nation of immigrants, but we’re principally a nation of laws and sociologically a nation of citizens.  We can still have immigration but just not at the huge level we have now.  Sustainability is the key. And we already have the most generous  immigration policy of all major countries and have nothing to apologize for.

It all comes to this.  There is more immigration demand in the world than the U.S. can possibly satisfy.  Right now there are 6.6 billion people on planet earth and that number grows by 78 million every year and over 50% live on less than $2 per day.  As the world’s population continues to explode, people will want to continue going where the conditions are best, and they’ll want to come to the U.S.  That makes sense for them, but not for us.  We are no longer the emerging industrial nation with wide open spaces for development and growth we used to be.

Immigration policy is in effect, population policy.  It speaks directly to the issue of “carrying capacity.”  Exactly how many more people do we want to squeeze into what is becoming a sardine can of a country?  Based on our present trends of one million legal entries and ½ million illegal alien entries each year…we really have perpetual growth in a finite place and that cannot realistically continue.  Our immigration policy needs to reflect our needs and the realities of the present day.

The Latest Trend in Immigration: Self-Deportation

If you ask the typical liberal how the War on Terror is going, his or her response, after a fit of the vapors and the delicate dabbing of perspiration from his or her forehead with his or her pink monogrammed hanky, is that it is a colossal waste. If you ask the typical conservative how the War on Poverty is going after hundreds of trillions of wasted tax dollars, he or she will respond that it is a colossal waste. If you ask the typical illegal alien how the War on Border Crossing is going, you may have to ask him or her quickly as a phenomenon known as “self deportation” is taking the illegal immigration world by storm.
