EXCUSE # 02: Economics: MYTH: The U.S. will crumble without illegal aliens. We need immigrants to pay the Social Security of the Baby Boomers when they begin to retire. Immigrants do jobs citizens won’t do.
Who would pick our produce? Who would make the beds and wash the dishes? TRUTH: This is another common myth, since illegal aliens are costing U.S. tax payers a net loss of at least $70 billion per year (and possibly as much as $326.7 billion annually).
$70 billion will pick a lot of vegetables and fruit, eh? Guarded and electronically monitored fences along all U.S. land borders would cost about $10 billion per year. How does that compare to the $70 billion per year in net losses to U.S. taxpayers?
EXCUSE # 04: Diversity / Racism: MYTH: Increasing diversity through immigration is necessary to be true to our civil rights principles. Opposition to illegal immigration is racist. We are obligated to accommodate millions of immigrants per year because our strength is our diversity; the diversity of immigrants made America great.
And, Christopher Columbus was the first illegal alien, and we stole the land from the Indians. TRUTH: That is the old stand-by. You are a racist.
However, race has nothing to do with it since illegal aliens are of all races from all over the world. Diversity is good, but massive, uncontrolled, illegal immigration itself leads to racism due to chaos, resentments, increased crime, societal disorder, and increased competition for a slice of a shrinking pie. I've experienced racism so I am aware it exists and yes, sometimes it does exist on EACH side of the argument.
But not all people are racist just because they oppose illegal immigration. I'd venture to say in this multi-cultural environment, that only a minority are in pockets throughout the country. EXCUSE # 09: Racism and Xenophobia: MYTH: You are a racist and xenophobe if you don't want wide-open borders and have any problems with unchecked immigration.
TRUTH: Racism and xenophobia has nothing to do with it. Massive immigration (legal or not) causes many societal problems. Greedy corporations and illegal employers of illegal aliens use the constant influx of illegal aliens to depress wages and boost their own profits.
Pandering politicians do it for votes, despicably pitting American citizens and illegal aliens against each other for votes. The net losses due to illegal immigration are estimated between $70 billion to $326.7 billion. Also, crime rates by illegal aliens are estimated to be two or more times higher.
The immigration laws are only racist if they read "get the brown guys" but fortunately they don't single out a certain ethnicity but apply to all. It just happens that most of the illegal aliens are hispanic due to easier access to Mexico and the better job opportunities in the USA. Also, because the bleeding hearts and spineless politicians will give them another amnesty.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
