Illegal Immigration Solution By Pat Boone

Here is a perspective on the illegal immigration problem as seen by Pat Boone. You can read the full story here.

(My opinion)
I am completely outraged by the prospect of anyone being able to come into this country illegally! It would seem that our Congress would reward this illegal behavior with the amnesty bill that will once again rear its ugly head. And pretend to impose some insignificant fine on law breakers in hopes that it will make them look good and us feel better. We must continue to fight at the grass roots level as the life we know in this country hangs in the balance. (get involved)

We have heard all the projected numbers of 10 to 20 million with current illegal status living here. I think the number may be much higher. When we were fighting for the passage of proposition 187 (history here) in California it was estimated that about 5,000 were coming over the border each night at the three major crossing points of California, Arizona and Texas. If you surmise that this has only been going on for the past 15 years (more like 35) then given those stats you would currently have around 40 million illegals who have entered the U.S. just from the southern border alone. It is such a gigantic social and economic problem in Southern California that we had lost over 20 medical facilities due to financial closure by the end of 2005.

Do employers really need this "cheap" labor (how about implementing low level prisoner labor) that the government keeps preaching or do the politicians just need a larger voting base to pander to? Our political correctness trends have made it impossible to state the truth or the facts without being called a racist. But the truth is that the rise in illegal immigration has brought with it the gang population, an increase in childhood diseases that had been erradicated, higher car insurance rates from uninsured motorists and an increase in all types of crimes. These issues effect and cost all of us. We can no longer filter, mask or sugar coat this issue. Illegal immigration must be stopped! So close our borders, enforce our laws (we already have plenty on the books) and put an end to this nightmare! We are either a nation of laws and enforcement that applies to everyone, or the civil society we once enjoyed will become a distant memory.
