A Solution To Part of the Illegal Immigration Problem—Hong Kong Before PRC

Congress has abrogated its job for decades. While the questions involving illegal immigration are divisive, attacking ICE for doing its job, declaring sanctuary cities or states, conspiring to evade law enforcement, and holding rallies or protests that involve paid rioters will not solve the problem. 

Coming to the USA illegally, without proper documentation or staying beyond the expiration of a visa is unacceptable. Leftist elites argue that illegal aliens are necessary to pick crops, work in hospitality or meatpacking or as domestics because Americans won’t do the work. That is just ‘malarkey’ as the prior president would say. Actually, paying illegals less than the market wage is exploitation. And, the current status allows for trafficking, drug smuggling, criminal activity, and a drain on resources.

Jacklyn, the lovely Filipina who worked for me in Hong Kong, was employed through an agency that recruited people to work in Hong Kong pursuant to a work visa and a contract required by law.

The employer agreed to pay a minimum specified monthly wage and provide housing. Although I did not require her services full time, I signed the contract which gave her legal residency for the contract period, paid the full required wage for a 6 day work week, provided housing, and gave her the opportunity to do some part time work to pick  up extra money. 

Enacting such a process in the USA would reduce the exploitation, ensure payment of fair wages,  verify that all contract workers are documented in the immigration system, afford a legal means to get a driving license and a green card, and provide a path to citizenship for those who comply with the terms and conditions of the contract and have no felony arrests over a 10 year period. 

It is time to look at bold new ideas.  It, if they don’t have a contract, there should be deportation without due process. 

 

We Have A Moral & Defense Duty To Support Israel

 Israel is now doing what the USA should have done in 1979 when the revolutionaries invaded the US embassy in Tehran and took American diplomats hostage. Iran has been the instigator of terror in the   Middle East  now fir 46 years, inciting violence, paying proxies to promote terror, calling for death to Israel and death to America, with only namby pamby diplomatic efforts at seeking a negotiated resolution. 

A negotiated settlement was never a realistic outcome. The  Mullahs in Iran hate western civilization only slightly less than they hate Israel and Jews. 

I was a University student in England when the embassy was invaded in 1979 and had many Iranian friends. Most never returned out of fear. Friends who have escaped and achieved US citizenship recount the oppression, fear, subjugation and certainty, that if they’d stayed, they would have been executed. 

Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. Love him or loathe him, Bibi Netanyahu is the savior of z Israel with his devotion to preserving Israel’s statehood, secure borders, and the ability to survive in a world that is still filled with anti semitism. 

Anyone who refuses to support Israel at this juncture is no better than those perpetrators of the Holocaust. Haters. Small minded. Indoctrinated. Confused. Uneducated. Mind washed. Simpleton. Racist. Communists.
