Comments on: America ‘Immigrating’ Into Cyclical Illiteracy And Poverty by Frosty Wooldridge http://www.thenationalpolicyinstitute.org/2010/02/25/america-%e2%80%98immigrating%e2%80%99-into-cyclical-illiteracy-and-poverty-by-frosty-wooldridge/ Official Web site of the National Policy Institute Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:02:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Paul Carter http://www.thenationalpolicyinstitute.org/2010/02/25/america-%e2%80%98immigrating%e2%80%99-into-cyclical-illiteracy-and-poverty-by-frosty-wooldridge/#comment-37342 Paul Carter Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:31:15 +0000 http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/?p=8289#comment-37342 I'm a life-long liberal Democrat, but I'm not a fool! I have told Brandon Shaffer, my representative in the Colorado Senate, and Dianne Primavera, my representative in the Colorado Assembly, that I will not vote for them if they do not take concrete steps to put employers of illegal aliens in jail, remove all state funds from cities that do not actively enforce state and federal laws to deal with illegal aliens. While illegal aliens are not the only cause of our problems in Colorado and the country at large, they are a major contributor to those problems, and they and their enablers must be dealt with. Just remember when politicians or the media talk about “free trade” or “we are in a global economy,” they are telling you they want cheap labor and a poor standard of living for you and your family. When they tell you we are “a nation of immigrants” so you have to accept 12-20+ million illegal aliens and tens of millions of legal immigrants, they are telling you they want cheap labor and a poor standard of living for you and your family. When they say you are a bigot, a xenophobe, a nativist, or a hater of brown people if you oppose amnesty and want our laws enforced, they are telling you they want cheap labor and a poor standard of living for you and your family. When they say illegal aliens only do jobs American citizens won’t do, they are telling you they want cheap labor and a poor standard of living for you and your family. Whenever they talk about the terrible situation the illegal aliens face, or their condition is not their fault, or wouldn't you do the same thing in their situation, they are telling you they want cheap labor and a poor standard of living for you and your family. The plain fact of the matter is that any law or policy that uses foreign workers whether they are located in other countries or here in the US to produce the products and services we use must of necessity drive down incomes for US citizens. The 21st Century will be one of too many people chasing too few resources. The question you have to ask yourself is do you want to compete with another 100 or 200 or 300 million immigrants, legal and illegal, for diminishing resources that will be available to the US. If you do, then you should support amnesty for illegal aliens and our current policy toward legal immigration. If you don't, then you should join NumbersUSA.org and work to defeat every amnesty proposal put forward by the open borders pro-amnesty crowd. It's your choice!
