19 Terrorists vs Millions of Illegal Aliens

by DC Lee - A Woodward Report Columnist
On September 11, 2001, nineteen terrorists murdered nearly three thousand in a quest to bring the United States to its knees.
Today, however, millions of illegal aliens are bringing America to its knees in a much different way.
They are exploding spending in health care, welfare, education and if steps are not taken soon, they will bring the US economy to the brink of collapse.
The United States was created with immigrants poured into a melting pot that made us the envy of the world. Even today in the economic unrest and uncertainty, people around the world still want to come here for political, religious and economic freedom. And they should, but they should enter the US under the laws and rules set up to accept legal immigration.
Anyone who crosses the border without proper documentation is a law breaker. No exception, period!
First and foremost, the borders must be secured for if they are left to the status quo, there is no real security at all. The US Border Patrol must be beefed up and backed up by the National Guard in order to seal the border. It will not be cheap, but will be cheaper than letting these law breaking illegal aliens bleed away our treasury with a million cuts that seem to increase as time goes by.
Next the law must be changed to keep any child being made a US Citizen just because it was delivered on US soil. If that newborn does not have parents that are already US Citizens or legal alien residents, then the child is not automatically given citizenship.
Furthermore, any employer that knowingly hires illegal aliens should be fined $5,000 per count, increasing in amount for every additional one. That includes anyone going by ‘day worker’ sites for cheap illegal alien labor or those having a live-in nanny that is an illegal alien.
Emergency rooms must still treat anyone with a life threatening problem, but if citizenship or legal resident status is not provided, local police and US Immigration Services must be notified to hold the offenders until they are deported.
Schools should only accept students that are citizens or children of legal alien residents.
Neither federal nor local human services funds should go to anyone not a citizen or legal alien resident.
Federal mortgage loans and housing assistance should not be given to anyone not a citizen or legal alien resident.
If any local or state government offers ‘sanctuary status to illegal aliens’ they should be forced to forfeit any federal funding of any kind and the US Justice Department should move to press obstruction of justice and harboring fugitives charges against those offending officials.
Too many times we find illegal aliens are caught, deported and then caught again time after time after time. This must be stopped by putting the offenders into prison for 10 years and then deporting them. This may not be a cheap solution, but less expensive than millions of illegal aliens continually entering and reentering the US time and again.
Additional programs for aliens to legally enter the US should be formed. One should be for Seasonal Guest Workers in the agricultural industry paying such workers a fair wage. Another should allow workers to join a Corps Of Engineers program to maintain and build infrastructure, civil engineering and public service projects similar to what the Civilian Conservation Corps did during the 1930s depression. Lastly, the US Military should allow qualified aliens to enlist and after honorable completion of a six year enlistment, they should be awarded full US Citizenship.
Granted, these common sense solutions will not be accepted by all and will not be brought about without a knock down, drag out fight. The Liberal Wing of the Democrat
Party and their cohorts such as the mainstream media, ACORN, trial lawyers and the unions would go ballistic over such reform proposals. It would ruin their ultimate plan of granting amnesty for illegals in order to pocket voters in hopes of retaining governmental power.
Once more it must be said these silver bullet ideas would not be easy nor inexpensive but they would be far less costly than the impending financial and economic collapse the United States will experience if the current unworkable sham of a system is allowed to continue. With millions of illegal aliens being allowed to freely feed at the public trough at the taxpayer’s expense, larger deficits and economic unrest is the only foreseeable result.
You know you have completely won an argument when the only response is that you are a racist or a greedy, Ugly American.
Jose and gerry below do not offer any alternatives or counter arguments. They instead play the race card and/or the United States is the cause of all the evil in the world card, both of which are so old and worthless that any more comment would be a waste of time and broadband.
These two are just the type of supporters you find behind Obama and the Loony Left. Make one wonder what the devil they are doing here on The Woodward Report? The only logical explanation is no other than to insert liberal rants into serious discussions.
To clean up something my old grandpappy told me, all mankind produces manure but some produce more from their brains than from their large intestine.
