Immigration
Dear President Bush:
Dear Senator Specter:
Dear Representative Platts:
We seem to be going down the wrong road yet once again.
Immigration which was initially brought up as a concern of Homeland Security for the most part has now been derailed into a Mexican border problem.
If we, as a country, prevent these Latin American workers from coming into our country to work in our fields we are going to experience a rise in food costs like we've never seen in this country. Let's face it, we depend on these illegal immigrants to keep food on our tables at cheap prices. Although I don't condone these companies and corporations that violate our laws in order to increase their profits we all benefit from the low cost of food.
My opinion on what is needed is this:
We need to embrace Mexico and by that I mean we need to explore making it a territory of the United States and perhaps even a state. This would have multiple benefits.
1. It would prevent US corporations from moving across the border to increase their profits.
2. It would retain important tax monies for the United States at various levels of government.
3. It would increase the population available to serve in our armed forces.
4. It would help provide wealth to a country that is struggling with poverty worse than our own.
5. It would eliminate the necessity for Mexicans to cross the border.
6. It would reduce the land based border control area to a very short run across the bottom of Mexico.
And I'm sure there are many other benefits to both of our countries not to mention the tourism and cultural experience that both countries could enjoy.
A carefully implemented strategy of integrating Mexico with the US should be a viable alternative to spending billions more on border security, deportations, guest worker programs, blah, blah, blah ad nauseum!
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!
I anxiously await your reply.
Sincerely,
Todd Clay
