According to
a talking head on Fox News, there are conservatively 10 million illegal aliens
in America. This is an insanely low
number that does not adequately describe our national insanity. Thirty years ago, that was the number and with an
estimated half million crossing our borders illegally each year, the number is
at least 25 to 30 million. This number
is based on those who are caught, those who sneak in successfully
would push the number, conservatively to 40 or 50 million.
Then there
are those criminals who overstay their legal visas when they commit themselves to
going home when they enter. I have no
numbers on these illegals but just guessing we could add conservatively another
5 to 10 million. The scope of our real
immigration insanity is at least around 50 to 60 million persons living and
working illegally in America. The
current population of America is 325 million so 15 % to 18% of American residents
are illegal. This is not a marginal issue, where will our populace be in another
10 years?
Exactly what
the plan of our politicians may be is open for debate. We know illegal immigration pleases the
Democrats because they want new voters even though illegal immigrants are not
supposed to vote, small detail. The question needs to be asked, why have the
Republicans been suckered into insane immigration laws?
May I suggest that the Republican power base
is much too smart to be suckered. They have deviously written or endorsed lame immigration policies and
laws intended to promote illegal immigration while tricking the people into
thinking our government is doing the will of the people. Their goal has always been to depress wage growth for the hard working folk and it has worked for 30 years until Donald Trump disrupted their play book.
At least the
Democrats are honest brokers while the Republican power base can only be
described as devious co-conspirators with the Democrats.
