Mired in loss of trust, Bush is about to lie about immigration again
Jefedente Bush is about to embark on a two-day swing to promote his revised ideas on immigration according to FOXNews.com . He is going to tell us that "internal repatriation," i.e. the depositing into the Mexican interior of illegal aliens captured crossing the border, is part of the answer. He's got the "internal" part right, but the country wrong. Any immigration reform plan that addresses the desires and needs of working Americans, particularly our poor, must include the "internal enforcement" of severely punishing American businessmen, corporations and corporate executives who employ illegal aliens. If there are no " corporate perp walks" in his plan, then Bush's words remain hollow and disingenuous. With polls indicating that a majority of Americans no longer trust this president, he needs to stop with the bald-faced lies that mask his desire to move this nation away from sovereignty.
Bush clearly wishes to be the instigator of an EU-type hemispheric government that includes much of the third world. The attainment of parity between the US and peoples mired in the mindsets and world views of the third-world is impossible without the US having to significantly disempower itself economically and culturally. It is the utmost of folly to believe that integrating with our southern neighbors can somehow expiditiously morph them into first-world partners: rather, it would only assure a lowering of our standards and the eradication of our culture, ethos and ideals.
That said, here's a good piece from American Conservative Magazine:

"But the biggest shortcoming of the grand guest-workers compromise is that it completely ignores many of the reasons Americans want immigration reform in the first place: cultural balkanization, national identity, and linguistic unity. Proponents of the temporary-workers approach assign a higher priority to the economic needs of a relatively small band of employers than to social cohesion.
Moreover, many problems created by immigration stem not from its illegality but the sheer numbers. Increasing legal immigration and giving work permits to illegal aliens will do little to alleviate them and may well make them worse."
