Illegal Aliens and Public Education . . . a problem?
As complex as the liberal/socialists want us AVERAGE AMERICANS to believe that deportation is for illegal aliens, it is not. They can go home the same way they got here - its called attrition and it could be done after their employment sources are "dried" up. The federal government apparently feels it is "powerless" (or they feel they need the vote of an illegal alien to retain their seat in Congress) to impose existing laws regarding the IRCA of 1986. It can't be anymore difficult than enforcing existing laws prohibiting bank robberies; kidnapping; rape; murder; car theft; separation of church and state; terrorism; illegal drugs; etc., etc., etc. I am assuming that they are still want enforcement for the laws they forward to the White House for signature.
Now they are literally hiding behind coded words and meaningless phrases, such as “triggers” to avoid upsetting a group of people that cannot legally cast a single vote. They can play politics all day long and at the end of the day, well, it is just the end of another day in Washington, D.C. How about subjecting these illegals to a literacy test in their own language about the history and governmental processes of the United States in order to be considered for legal entry (meaning standing in line rather than fence leaping). Even with all the triggers in place that the most imaginative person or feckless bureaucratic committee can conjure; they are still going to cross into the USA and find work somewhere.
If not through attrition then here is an alternative: Deportation of illegals could be very economical when compared to the costs of education, health care, housing assistance, food stamps, crime, and other welfare expenses. Today, a one-way ticket on Delta Airlines from Atlanta to Acapulco costs only about $300. The cost to send a family of five back to Central America might cost no more than $1,500, while the annual cost for them staying here might be as much as $23,000 per individual. Therefore, the problem is not complex and not relatively expensive. Moreover, we could upgrade the tickets to first class and have those folks really enjoy their brief accommodations and in-flight service. Beats traveling business class with your chin on your knees or your knees rubbing the back of the seat in front of you and a handful of stale pretzels and a soda pop. Who knows, we might even be sending a terrorist or two back home.
Federal minds seem to become "fogged in" and their speech becomes mendacious when it comes to the subject of, "Gee Whiz and Golly Willikers, we just can’t get all these illegal aliens back home – the problem is just too complex?" The feds need to give us AVERAGE, COMMON, REGULAR, AMERICANS credit for having effective mental thought processes unless they feel that their public screwlls programs are really working. Moreover, the public screwlls are working according to federal curriculum guidelines as I was asked several years ago by a tenth grader (with a glazed and dazed look), "Did you fight in the Civil War?" (I was wearing my old Civil War sweatshirt with the dates 1861/1865 on the front). My response was slow and measured and somewhat cynical, “No, I was too young for that war.” She then said she misspoke and meant World War I. I then told her that I was too old for that war. I told the tenth grader that the Civil War started 140 years ago this month, (it was April 2001 at the time). I was then met with a blank stare.
Two days later, I asked our office intern (not Monica Lewinsky) but also a tenth grade student in a public screwll, if she knew whom the first President was and she answered that she did not know. She also did not know who wrote the Emancipation Proclamation or what it was. I had a co-worker whose son was involved in studying Black History for February tell me that the last slave ship to come to America was in 1880. I told her that importing slaves into the United States was banned in 1808 and she said I was wrong and that her son was told it was 1880. I asked her if the teacher meant North America or South America and she didn’t know the answer to that. She also told me that Tina Turner had written “Proud Mary” (the John Fogerty/CCR song). Come on people, let’s do our homework!
