Mexican Colonists Protest Illegal Immigration Law

Thousands of people demonstrated in LA , Phoenix and other US cities protesting a bill that would make Illegal immigration a felony rather that a civil crime. Even the organizers were surprised by the turnout. It was a very visible example of the magnitude of the problem we face in defending our sovereignty. Many carried Mexican and other South American flags and were chanting Mexico! Mexico!.

Wearing white shirts to symbolize peace, marchers chanted "Mexico!" "USA!" and "Si se puede," an old Mexican-American civil rights shout that means "Yes, we can." They waved the flags of the U.S., Mexico and other countries, and some wore them as capes.

In a previous post I highlighted the legal changes that the Mexican government has made to preserve the loyalty and citizenship of its people who live in America, both legally and illegally. There is little effort to hide the desire of Mexico to reclaim the Southwest United States. This is why they are supporting the massive assault on our southern border by their own people.

The large turnout has President Bush trying to pacify a more restless legislature with speeches about enforcing current law first and securing the border before changing immigration law. While this is all good news the proof is in the bills he supports and signs.

This bill that the Colonists form Mexico are protesting is still insufficient for dealing with the problem. Making Illegal entry a more serious crime will not do much to deter or apprehend the violators. If anything it will complicate matters. What is needed is for Congress to bite the bullet and appropriate funds to build and maintain a fence on our border with Mexico. Then as we need fewer personnel to guard the border we can then do what's necessary to deal with the people that are discovered to already be here.

Immigration is not the problem as much as the apologists for the colonist would like to say it is. Nor is the claim that they do work Americans won't. It is the illegal flood of people that plagues us. What is happening to our economy is a depreciation of wages at the low end of the scale. Entry level work is becoming scares because the illegal population is competing unfairly and in large numbers. In an economy that has 96% employment the addition of thousands of workers every day seeking entry level work by crossing illegally only adds downward pressure to the wages offered at the low end. This situation slows the upward movement of legal residents by limiting their opportunities to enter the job market to begin building skills for advancement. This is however secondary to the main problem we face which is the active colonization of our nation by a neighbor. If we do not deal decisively with this issue now we may find in the not too distant future that we must deal with a secessionist movement.
