Big employers can stop illegal immigration

Thursday, November 24, 2005 10:47 PM CST



The Associated Press on Saturday reported ? Illegal Workers Found at Wal-Mart Site” (http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/11/18/D8DV6UOG0.html ).

It further reported, “An immigration raid at a Wal-Mart distribution center under construction led to the arrests of 125 illegal workers, all of whom will be deported, federal officials said Friday.”

Well, isn't it about cotton pickin' time?

The real solution employed (finally) by Wal-Mart to the illegal immigration problem is to enforce the existing law that states that “illegal immigration is illegal.” Duh!

But our sly politicians will continue to attempt to squelch this legal action - and will continue to secretly push for ineffective border patrols, border walls, military patrols, et al. (all eyewash), at the threatening of powerful political action committees (PACs) consisting of large corporations who hire these illegal immigrants and who provide a portion of their illegally acquired proceeds to willing politicians' campaign funds.

If we want someone to blame, we'd best look in the mirror. We, the people, are the culprits who allow illegal immigration. Our politicians are amused at our “Joe Sixpack” ignorance of their untouchable political campaign scheme.

Your friendly senator and representative will not wish to discuss this problem with you but will send you a crisp, personally signed form letter thanking you for contacting him concerning this extremely important issue that our nation is facing, that this issue is at the top of his concerns and that, rest assured, he will keep your concerns in mind.

The onion-skin copy of this letter will be filed in the office “Jo6Pk” file.

We “Joe Sixpacks,” instead of volunteering to patrol the border, would do better patrolling large corporate workplaces to intercept illegal immigrants and to patrol Congress and the White House to remind them of the law that determines that illegal immigration is illegal - and another law, if necessity determines its value, the possibility of citizens' arrest (legality in question in some states).
