The Spectrum Of Acceptable Opinion In Washington's Immigration Reform Debate  




Leave it to a free thinking intellectual like Noam Chomsky to nail how Washington and its controlled corporate media control immigration reform opinion and/or (just fill in the blank).

Clear out your immigration cob-webs America.  What has been Washigton's illegal immigration debate for decades?  "Deport all illegals" or "Let all the undocumented all"?  "Secure the border" or "Amnesty For All"?  "Human rights" or "US Citizens Rights"?

I felt Washington's insidious immigration ambiguity working as a US Border Patrol/ICE agent for 26 years. Reagan's 1986 Amnesty was riddled with fraudulent applications.   I thought I was being paid as an INS criminal investigator?  Washington's approach to the immense fraud was to allocate a token force of INS criminal investigators to the job.  Despite this well known fraud, hundreds of thousands of Amnesty permanent residence applications were rubber-stamped through with full knowledge of INS Washington managers.

There was no real debate about amnesty fraud.  The whole thing was over and done before anyone knew what was going on.  The truth was that it was more politically advantageous for the Reagan administration to have Amnesty appear successful than it was for Washington to be honest. 

Here is another example.  As a young agent I reported systemic US Border Patrol overtime fraud back in 1984.  That was 30 years ago and whistleblowers are still attempting to get Washington to correct this fraud today.   See this ABC San Diego news report below:

And the spectrum of that overtime fraud debate?  "Federal Agents tell the truth" or "we eliminated the positions where the overtime was being abused"?  The truth is that the 2014 Senate sub-committee hearings scratched 900 snow flakes off of the tip of the iceberg of some 27,000 positions.

Washington's political image versus telling the truth - Déjà vu. 

Back to immigration reform.  Washington's true agenda of course is not included in "The Spectrum of Acceptable Opinion".  Illegal immigration is labor and profit driven.  Washington's own Amnesty and NAFTA nearly quadrupled the number of undocumented in the US (3 million to 11.2 million).

Ineffective border and interior immigration enforcement (not unlike Washington's 40+ year long war on drugs)  have become profitable industries for Washington's crony "border security" elite.

Pay attention to this current immigration reform debate in Washington.  Who is speaking for the American citizens who have for decades now had to stand in overcrowded hospital emergency rooms filled with the undocumented?  How about those citizens who lose their jobs to undocumented workers who can survive on $10.00 an hour?  How about those citizens who have watched as the undocumented have changed those citizens' home town demographics to that of a border town?

This is not fair.  It is unjust to not only Americans but the undocumented alike. And, it is caused by our government's corrupt trade policies with those of  the undocumented's' governments.

Immigration Propaganda – Fueled by Myopic Ignorance

Do you ever wonder why US politicians seldom if ever criticize the Mexican government for anything?   You know, that infamously corrupt Government to the south that in 2006 started a drug war that has murdered close to 50,000 of its own citizens? 

Why do we rarely hear Washington criticize the Mexican Government for its failure to adequately provide for its own Mexican citizens?  How about for its shared responsibility for the immigration nightmare that we face in the US today?

There is a reason that half of the people in Mexico are in poverty. There is a reason that the Mexican undocumented cross our border.  There is a reason that US taxpayers foot the bill for this failed immigration.  There is a reason that Washington coddles the Mexican government and turns a blind eye to the entire situation.  It is about greed.

Oil, trade, NAFTA, drug profits and cheap labor are real important to the rich on both sides of the fence.  It is so important that those rich (who run both governments) could care less about the average citizens of either country, let alone the Mexican poor or undocumented who are here in the US.  

Those very rich have us average Americans fighting about immigration and the war on drugs.  It is by design that we are fighting.  The rich are extremely happy when we fight. As long as we are at each others throats and blaming the symptoms (the undocumented and the addicted) and not the cause (their greed) nothing will ever improve.   Actually that is with the exception of their profit margins.  

They depend upon our ignorance to continue the status quo.  All that fighting and lo and behold little in Washington is ever done about it. 

This form of the raping of the US taxpayers is no different than failed mortgages, failed health care, and our failing economy.  The rich profit from these failures, and we pay the price. 

Actually it is much more insidious because it involves the greed of the elite of two nations.  It involves the raping of the good citizens of both nations.  Most insidious of all is that it involves the purposeful use of propaganda to coerce the darkest anger of our country’s victims against the equally victimized citizens of our good neighbors to the south.    

They and their propaganda have built and militarized a border wall between the good people of both countries.   It is a wall built to protect their greed and to fortify their lies.  It is wall built to keep the good people of both countries from knowing and loving each other.

This is lie that the rich hide behind.  This is what puts their cronies into office.  This is just as threatening to our country’s humanity as any terrorist’s plot.

We could bring the bi – national immigration scam to a halt if we can overcome our own ignorance.
