Federal inaction on immigration lets issue fester
Georgia legislators sponsoring anti-immigrant bills say they have been forced to act by frustration with the federal government, which they believe has been unwilling to address illegal immigration issues.
Unfortunately, those legislators have a point, at least about the federal government’s failure to act. In fact, they have every right to be frustrated, even if the solutions they propose to fill the void left by federal inaction are unworkable.
Thanks to a combination of cowardice and political opportunism, Congress has indeed abdicated its duty to deal with tough immigration issues. The few steps it has taken in recent years — such as efforts to tighten border security — have been little more than useless if expensive window dressing.
Certainly, our border with Mexico needs to be tightened as much as possible. In practical terms, however, a boundary more than 2,000 miles long through mainly undeveloped areas can never be made secure against people sufficiently motivated to cross it. That’s a fact.
It’s also a fact that at least 10 million illegal immigrants already live here, and at this point, most have every intention of staying. According to the 2010 Census, roughly 850,000 Hispanics live in Georgia, and by some estimates as many as half may be here illegally.
So what do we do about them?
That’s the question that elected officials at the federal level refuse to address. That’s the vacuum that state legislators such as Rep. Matt Ramsey, R-Peachtree City, and Sen. Jack Murphy, R-Cumming, claim to be trying to fill. And it is really the crux of the whole illegal immigration debate. With the economy in the tank and the flow of illegal immigrants greatly reduced, the real issue is how to deal with those already here.
There are two basic options: Either make those people go back where they came from, or they stay. Ramsey, Murphy and other conservative legislators prefer that they go back where they came from, and are trying to pass laws so punitive that they will leave on their own. (The option of tracking down, arresting and removing 10 million people, using law enforcement and the judicial system to sift the illegal from the legal, is understood by almost everybody to be hopeless.)
Personally, I have no faith that a policy of discouragement can work. Illegal immigrants have already proved themselves willing to endure great risk, sacrifice and hard work.
No matter how difficult we make things, no matter how inhumane or punitive we make our laws, most illegal immigrants are going to conclude that things are better for them and their children here than they would be back home. And if you think about it from their point of view, they’re right.
Changing that calculation would be very, very difficult.
The alternative, then, is to acknowledge the continuing presence of illegal immigrants while providing an avenue for them to leave the shadows and join the mainstream. That’s a step that only Congress can take — a step that it has so far refused to take, and that it shows no signs of taking in the foreseeable future.
Back in the ’80s, President Ronald Reagan supported legalization, explaining in a 1984 presidential debate that “I believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and lived here, even though sometime back they may have entered illegally.” Thanks to his backing, Congress agreed.
A few years ago, President George W. Bush tried to convince members of his party to follow Reagan’s lead, but the effort failed. President Barack Obama has also expressed support for such a change, but with chances of passage almost non-existent, he has expended no political capital on its behalf.
As a result, we’re stuck with a choice between bad solutions and no solutions at all.

“No matter how difficult we make things, no matter how inhumane or punitive we make our laws,…”
What is inhumane about enforcing the law of the land? Should we each be allowed to pick the laws we wish to obey and get amnesty from the others? “Did you say DUI officer? I think not, as I don’t follow that law.”
“Rape sweetie? Not me, I never liked that rule too much ma’am.”
“Pay you for these groceries? You must be kidding me, dude!”
I do like the concept of charging them an excise tax or tarriff to cover the expense of supporting them in numbers disproportionate to their contributions. New York and New Jersey have run most of their eeeevil conservative money grubbers out of town with high taxes. It could just work.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – U.S. consumer confidence fell in March a month after hitting a three-year high as expectations about jobs and income growth worsened, according to a private sector report released on Tuesday.
The Conference Board, an industry group, said its index of consumer attitudes fell to 63.4 in March from an upwardly revised 72.0 in February.
The median of forecasts from analysts polled by Reuters was for a reading of 65.0. Forecasts ranged from 55.0 to 72.0.
The expectations index slipped to 81.1 from 97.5, while consumers’ expectations for inflation in the coming 12 months hit the highest level since October 2008.
Consumers’ labor market assessment worsened. The “jobs hard to get” index rose to 44.6 percent from 44.4 percent the month before, while the “jobs plentiful” index slipped to 4.4 percent from 4.9 percent.

Yet they could care less about illegal immigrants that have overstayed their visas or violated the terms of their visas in order to work in air conditioned offices while pulling in $60K a year.

Same scenario. The US has agreements with many countries where their Consular officials here have to be notified if they are detained for any reason. Most countries will not accept someone being deported from any country if it’s not one of their own citizens being returned home. That situation comes up quite often.

No, that’s a lie.
Our border with Canada is far longer, and their crossing is not a threat. We are secure with Canada. The secret then is in the motivation. Both Bush and Obama refuse to employ their exective authority to enforce the border. Whether or not Congress is rushing to action, is irrelevant at least to the extent that the executive branch has not fulfilled its role in enforcement either. It seems that Obama is actually doing worse than Bush, if that’s possible, even if he is talking a better game.

I can’t help but wonder how the health care reform effort would have gone if advocates had, right from the start, invoked ideas such as “we’re going to take some of the best health care in the world – the health care we provide our military and their families – and make it available to all Americans.”
Then let the cons figure out how to attack military health care. If they say it’s not good enough, they’ve got a huge problem.

BTW, the correct term is illegal alien. Immigration implies the process of entering a country legally, therefore immigrants are legal, illegals are aliens.

Paul,
“Then let the cons figure out how to attack military health care. If they say it’s not good enough, they’ve got a huge problem.”
Uhhhh….. I’m a conservative, and the military healthcare–excluding that for Presidents and cabinet members–sucks. It is perhaps a shade better than Medicare or Medicaid, and VA healthcare per se is abyssmal. Not only that, but Obama and the Democrat Congress had done its best to make it worse.
You might consider it a political problem, because you are a liberal–the foremost question on your mind being, “how can I call names to those **#)@*# conservatives.” Well, I consider the VA healthcare situation, and your own state of mind projected across millions of other people two separate national tragedies co-complicit in revealing the shear incompetence of government to both medically treat and inform its citizens.

Interesting discussion.
Since Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, and legalized the “illegals”, nothing has been done by either the Democrats or the Republicans. Yet part of today’s’ commenters blame only the Democrats and the others blame only the Republicans. Reagan’s bill passed with bi-partisan support.
A similar bill can be passed and signed into law by June 1, 2011 if the following takes place:
1. introduce the Kennedy-McCain Bill,
2. both party bases agree to the necessary compromises
Of course, that will not happen. Which means that the problem is not a very big important problem. If immigration was a Big Important problem a majority would demand that something be done Now. But the majority have not demanded a solution.
And that tells me that immigration is just not that big of a problem.

Actually, I like birch’s suggestion, we should be doing all our national guard training along the border and assist the illegals back in the other direction..

Most of you miss one point, most of immigrants share the same value as the republicans.

Perhaps so on some fronts. The missing link is that they are breaking the law.

I think you said your hubby was a P-38 pilot. Did he do combat flying? If so, was he fighting for the right of 12 million illegal aliens to come and stay here? Inquiring minds would really like to know.
Nope, My dad flew P-38’s in the Pacific, my hubby jumped outa choppers during Tet…..Both fought (and still do) for human rights for all people including refugees from nations so poor they can’t feed their people…some folks call that American, some Christian – for us it’s just the right thing to do

getalife,
Actually the story was about you.You just forgot about it because of that limited 2 cell brain capacity.
It was when the docs performed that brain surgery on you. They were astounded when all they uncovered was 2 brain cells already stretched to the limit surrounded by a mass of feces. Hence the term sh$t or brains was coined in your honor.

Mick….I like that idea as well. However it is up to the states to individually call the National Guard for assistance.

Joe,
They think they are better than others and discriminate against others?
They collapsed our economy and spew they never saw it coming.
They steal American wages using tyranny?
Do tell Joe.
