D.A. King Warning to Obama: Another amnesty not the answer

Yesterday Congressman Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) introduced legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives to reward the hordes of illegal aliens who made it past our Border Patrol Agents with legalization, jobs, public benefits and eventually the right to vote as citizens.

With the open borders lobby57;s usual shameless contempt for the intellect of the American people, Gutierrez is calling his bill 60;Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America57;s Security and Prosperity.61;

The 2010 battle for repeating the 60;one-time61; amnesty of 1986 has begun.

Don57;t expect the legislation to receive nearly as much attention from the media as Tiger Woods57; love life. The hope is that we are too busy to remember that President Obama promised to deliver amnesty as part of his 60;Hope and Change61; election campaign - or to consider that nagging detail about America57;s raging unemployment crisis.

The contrived talking point is that legalizing the current batch of job thieves would result in a 60;boon to American workers61; and somehow 60;strengthen our economy.61;

I am not making this up.

America57;s unemployment rate dipped from 10.2 percent in October to 10 percent in November. Many economists put the actual unemployment rate at 17 percent. Using the most positive figures, about 16 million Americans are out of work.

While monitoring CNN last week, I heard a reporter tell viewers that there are at least six applicants for each available job. One pundit puts it this way: 60;Unemployment isn57;t just worse than Obama said it would be with the stimulus. It57;s even worse than he said it would be without the stimulus.61;

In addition to his recent 60;jobs summit61; designed to get ideas on how to cut unemployment, the president has publicly promised to pursue 60;every additional and responsible step61; to get America back to work.

Except, apparently, to stem the flow of illegal immigration and to remove the black market replacement labor from the workforce.

Obama could put about 8 million Americans in jobs next week if he would only enthusiastically enforce existing immigration and employment laws.

As a long-time American who studies the organized crime that is illegal immigration - which is directly related to U.S. unemployment (it is also directly related to national security, education, health care, public benefits, wasted tax dollars and the rule of law 70; but that is another column) - let me share some facts Gutierrez and Obama hope you will never see. You are supposed to believe the fairy tale that our borders have been secured.

The U.S. Border Patrol apprehended 556,040 new 60;undocumented workers61; illegally crossing our borders in Fiscal Year 2009, which ended Sept. 30. Optimistic official estimates are one in four or five illegal alien border crossers are captured at the border.

Do the math.

Statistics from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reveal significant drops in work site enforcement activity since last year. Administrative alien arrests (arrests of illegal aliens who will be placed into deportation proceedings) have dropped 68 percent. Nationwide, criminal arrests are down 60 percent, criminal indictments have fallen 58 percent and criminal convictions are down 63 percent.

Revealing his disregard for the American worker, Obama has rescinded the Bush administration57;s common sense 60;No-Match Rule61; in which the Social Security Administration sent letters to employers when employees57; names and Social Security numbers fail to match. The program required employers to take action - including termination - if notified that their employees did not have legal immigration status.

So much change 70; in only one year!

In a November press release reflecting the view of the majority of Americans, Georgia57;s U.S. Sens. Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson criticized the Obama administration57;s intent to push amnesty this way: 60;Americans want to work; rewarding illegal aliens with the right to hold jobs will not improve the chances Americans have of finding jobs, paying their mortgages, and feeding their families. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to cease any discussion about enacting a legalization program that will only hurt U.S. workers and make it harder for law abiding citizens to weather this economic downturn.61;

There will never be a time when another amnesty is the answer, including in the current economic downturn and jobs shortage. The amnesty of 1986 actually increased illegal immigration and illegal employment.

It would have the same result today.

Had I not seen with my own eyes a guy in his late 60s walking around our courthouse square dressed as a gigantic tea bag last spring and summer, I probably wouldn't use that term. I had no idea of the other meaning at the time and I'm quite sure he didn't either.

You hit the nail on the head though with the use of term "anti." These people know how to be against stuff with a passion. But very few have any solutions, especially for the economy. If they do, it's likely to be "cut taxes, start more wars, blah, blah, blah." Stuff that's already been tried — repeatedly.

It's very likely that "we" have just reached the "inflection point" (perhaps more aptly termed "implosion point") of American imperial history (the ZioUSUK Empire, as I call what the neocons have constructed) and it is just OVER — permanently. Survivalism blogs may be where "we" should be spending more time these days.

I'm glad you aren't calling the women and children teabaggers. We both know the homosexual act the name implies, and who uses it against the -anti people (left- wing s'bags). It would have been grossly unfair of you not to admit your poor choice of words.

The solutions to our economic mess is to be anti big government, anti taxation and anti Obama, so in that respect the folks I met at the rally I attended have it dead on.

I call it the "Critical Threshold" - the point where an idea or technology really begins to take off.

One can see this in operation historically, but usually only in retrospect. Like anything in "Chaos Theory" it is unpredictable - the "hundredth monkey".

We are reaching a tipping point and we are going to hit it within the next year or two at most. Again it will only be viewable as such after the fact.

However, I do think we will come out, in the end and not without pain, to the better. The forces of history are complex and simple at the same time, and as has been observed (by Ambrose Bierce if I recall) "When it is Train Time it is Train Time", and not before. Meaning simply that there is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come and it will not come before its time. Brother Gregor Mendel established the basics of Genetics 100 years before it became accepted. When the Steam Engine caught on it rapidly, within 20 years, brought industrial production from a trickle to a tsunami. All of the graphs of industrial production go almost straight up in the years following its introduction. Social revolutions act much the same way. They build slowly over time climbing ever so slowly until something almost magical happens and like one ice crystal to two to three, to a million occurs almost over night.

Strict capitalists hate merchantilism because it didn't (historically at least) involve the creation of capital out of thin air, while requiring the use of a myth as the basis for the currency valuation. OR require a certain amount of inflation or the whole system would collapse like a house of cards. It required a capital source that was tangible like metals, and of course most capitalists find that too confining.

And that trade balances would favor this country and not the rest of the world. Too nonglobalist for the taste of most current capitalists.

And it led to wars and the opening up of frontiers to find new sources of capital. Too nasty and dirty for most capitalists. Even though some say that oil is really the current tangible capital source.

The beaners largely aren't registered and even if they would be, what would be the thing making them comply as they seem to evade compliance from everything from taxes to laws otherwise.

The beaners and others including lots of Filipinos can get citizenship just by enlisting and serving. I have known many Filipino servicemen and women recruited right from the Philipines. They were later moved lock stock and barrel at taxpayer expense to the US with low cost mortgages and car loans, and often free or discounted schooling in the trade of their choice. Often with the promise of a guaranteed job for the first year.

I agree. So then why do you suggest that there are in essence "painless" ways to "address our issues" as I would phrase it?

I've never, ever, not once suggested that there are in essence "painless" ways to address our issues. You have instead stated that because there are no painless ways, you choose to throw up the white flag and we should too.

I have and have always heald, and you can go back and re-read that thread, that there are always *options*. I have *never* claimed that they were painless, in fact I explicitly claimed the opposite is the reality in most cases.

You don't have to be trained much beyond basic arithmatic to be able to buy and sell things, or make things and sell them. Thomas Edison had zero training in starting a business, as did the grocer he probably went to down the street for his food, once upon a time.

I see a fundamental difference between us. Though I like you, I do not subscribe to the words "can't" and "give up" and "impossible". My (our?) generation spent a lot of time sulking around from the late 80's through the early 2000's in a funk that many still need to shake off. It's about time we shook it off, squared our shoulders, and stopped being so damned negative. We have all the power in the world and we're convinced we're powerless. How sad is that? GenX needs to get itself bitch slapped and woken up, if you ask me. :)

I suspect that the truth of the situation lay between both of our observations.

Historians are going to have coin a new term for what we've been creating as an economic system. It's a huge messed up mixture of pretty much every bad economic system known (CC, mercantilism, fascism, socialism).

You also haven't stated anything concrete

Which has nothing to do with your charge that I said anything would be "painless". Ergo, you've committed a non sequitur, and further, have not rescinded your charge against me that was false.

I honestly don't think you know what you think, specifically, and if you do, you certainly cannot articulate it nor have to date.

Don't be so condescending Eric. Because you don't grasp anything I'm saying doesn't necessarily mean it's my fault. How does the saying go? When you point a finger at others you have four fingers pointing at yourself?

I "get" your strategy. I "get" the notion of "surrender and bow". I reject it. I also don't subscribe to your view that we need written plans, logistics and a "leader", however, the government agrees with you on that, which is why they won't see anything coming when it does. That's fine. They don't know how to handle insurgents in Iraq or Afghanistan either. They couldn't hash out how to deal with Vietnamese insurgents either. They're impotent when they can't work in their preferred paradigm. If you share it with them that's your choice. But don't presume to condescend to me that I don't "know my own thoughts" and "cannot articulate them". That's insulting to say the least. You are not delivering wisdom from on high to the unwashed heathens, kid.

PS People have been protesting and griping for centuries and we've consistently move and continue to move in the exact same direction. Nothing is any different as we now exchange ideas.

Do you even bother to read my posts except for choice sentences to try and refute? I'm starting to think that you don't. I've stated, and restated, until my fingers have gone numb, that it's not about "griping and protesting" alone. You fail to grasp that.

Hardly. It will encourage additional immigrants, as they arrive to take the place of those Americans who play by the rules. After all, Selective Service is computerized.

When the Steam Engine caught on it rapidly, within 20 years, brought industrial production from a trickle to a tsunami.

1781-1800?

James Watt, the son of a merchant, was born in Greenock, Scotland, in 1736. At the age of nineteen Watt was sent to Glasgow to learn the trade of a mathematical-instrument maker.

After spending a year in London, Watt returned to Glasgow in 1757 where he established his own instrument-making business. Watt soon developed a reputation as a high quality engineer and was employed on the Forth & Clyde Canal and the Caledonian Canal. He was also engaged in the improvement of harbours and in the deepening of the Forth, Clyde and other rivers in Scotland.

In 1763 Watt was sent a Newcomen steam engine to repair. While putting it back into working order, Watt discovered how he could make the engine more efficient. Watt worked on the idea for several months and eventually produced a steam engine that cooled the used steam in a condenser separate from the main cylinder. James Watt was not a wealthy man so he decided to seek a partner with money. John Roebuck, the owner of a Scottish ironworks, agreed to provide financial backing for Watt's project.

When Roebuck went bankrupt in 1773, Watt took his ideas to Matthew Boulton, a successful businessman from Birmingham. For the next eleven years Boulton's factory produced and sold Watt's steam-engines. These machines were mainly sold to colliery owners who used them to pump water from their mines. Watt's machine was very popular because it was four times more powerful than those that had been based on the Thomas Newcomen design.

Watt continued to experiment and in 1781 he produced a rotary-motion steam engine. Whereas his earlier machine, with its up-and-down pumping action, was ideal for draining mines, this new steam engine could be used to drive many different types of machinery. Richard Arkwright was quick to importance of this new invention, and in 1783 he began using Watt's steam-engine in his textile factories. Others followed his lead and by 1800 there were over 500 of Watt's machines in Britain's mines and factories.

History and Jimmie Carter do not agree.

Thousands of men living in America went north, doing their patriotic duty by showing their dissent for the draft.

There was no influx as a counter action, men are not that stupid.

1781-1800?

That is the basic time frame. With the introduction of Watt's Steam Engine first the textile and mining industries then others began mechanizing. With the introduction of the Steam Engine industries were freed from the small scale power provided by water wheels and the less efficient and inflexible Newcomer engine. Coincident to that were increases in transport speed - first through canals and steam powered boats and then ships followed by railroads. All made possible with Mr. Watts engine. Industrial production between 1780 and 1850 expanded, in England, more than tenfold. The affects were slower reaching elsewhere but the expansion was quite rapid.

Actually the correct term for what we have, and have had since the "teens" of the last century is "Crony Capitalism". A system whereby success is achieved not through production or "building a better mouse trap" but through connections and insider information (not what you can do but who you do know - look at Blackwater/Xe/KBR/Enron/Goldmine Sacks). It is now building toward, rapidly, a super-socialist/fascist totalitarianism that will make Lenin and Stalin's USSR look like playtime at the Pre-School.

Right on.

Manufacturing will take years to recover if it even ever does within our lifetimes. But before that process can even begin, the Government needs to get the fuck out of the private sector's business, and big corporate businesses need to get out of bed with the FedGov.

Do you see any of that even remotely being seriously discussed by people capable of implementing it?

.... no, unfortunately.

Our economy, pending extensive alterations in our current eco-political and even socio-political climate, is defunct.

This is not a simple matter of "when things get better again," since they cannot possibly get better with the Government doing what it's doing and given the general direction in which it is headed.

It is fitting that it's the tea-party contingent that does not fully grasp the magnitude of this all. There's a economic fall coming, and that fall will be harder than anything that the majority of those alive today in Amerika have seen before in their lifetimes!

Those pleading via the electoral process or "protest" process for solutions to the problems from those that have caused them are so wasting their time.

Very true.

I don't know if you've ever heard of talkshow guy, Jerry Doyle, out of Las Vegas. But Jerry is one great talkshow host and a solid man. Check him out, if you have never heard him before.

Anyhow, of late he has been asking the question of his audience, "What can we really do about the problem?"

I've got an answer, but unfortunately it is problematic posting it on a website such as this.

Um, no, you were being condescending. You've sold it to yourself as something else, as quoted above. But you were condescending. If you don't see it that way, then try to look at it from a view other than your own.

You shouldn't be so emotional while trying to state you case,

I'm not the one engaging in 1) straw man, 2) condescension, 3) "your view is.." mind reading. Sorry. If you read emotion in that, well, it's not there. You're just some guy I don't know on the internet dude, 1's and 0's.

Again, while I provide historical examples, human nature as a guide, active trends and patterns, etc., all that you can provide is stuff along the lines of "well you just wait and see" when that's what I've been doing for decades and this freight train continues to regress.

Where have you provided historical examples? Where have I not? Where are the patterns? Where are the trends? History is filled with counter examples to the things even not provided by you, what then?

If you want to give up, then give up. Good lord guy, why do you care if others don't resign themselves?
