The Duck Won

Thanks to all of those who called or wrote to their Congressperson, the illegal alien amnesty bill died in the Senate last week. This bill was wrong from the start and it was mostly predicted that it would fail. Nevertheless, the conservative talk radio circuit was credited with a large influence in getting this wrong-headed legislation squashed. By the way, there is no real liberal talk radio circuit. Why? Because nobody listens to that garbage. It's all about making money folks. If it don't sell it ain't gonna be offered.

It is understandable why the liberals want amnesty for illegals. They see large cadres of future voters. But, it boggles my mind when some conservatives including the sitting President are in favor of this amnesty. I understand that they want cheap labor for their business owner constituency. But, are they really thinking ahead to all those future liberal voters?

The answer to illegal immigration is simple. First, enforce the 1986 law by fining and jailing employers who hire illegals. And, don't tell me that employers can't determine who is illegal. All they have to do is sign up with the Social Security Administration and then go online to verify the last name of employees against SSN's. This enforcement will cause hundreds of thousands of illegals to self-deport. Once the word gets back to the homeland the flood of new illegals will dry up. Next, carry out the law passed last October and build the double fence from California into Texas. Lastly, amend the constitute to stop the automatic citizenship for anchor babies dropped into this country by illegals.

One more thing. I have heard several liberals say that the illegals pay taxes. This is simply not true. Firstly, a lot of illegals work in the underground market, get paid in cash and never have taxes withheld. Then most of those that have either stolen a Social Security Number from a dead person or obtained a TIN and have taxes withheld are getting the withholding refunded and if their income is between $10,000 and $19,000 and they have two children, they get a $4,000 Earned Income Credit from the Federal coffers. So, not only are these individuals not paying taxes, they get a check for $4,000 from the taxes that you pay.

My last question. When are you going to get angry enough about all this to vote these liberals out of office?
