Immigration Reform: All Of The Profit Is In The Fight Not In The Fix

Immigration Reform:  All Of The Profit Is In The Fight Not In The Fix  

I think most Americans support legalization of the undocumented with the understanding that said legalization or "reform" includes border security that would effectively stop illegal immigration and  the need for further reforms.

Washington's schizophrenic approach to illegal immigration drives American's crazy.  Record deportations coupled with attempts to legalize 11.2 million people and the Senate's S.744 asking for 46.3 billion more in border security tax dollars make any one with common sense wonder what Washington's true immigration intentions are.

I say if you dig deep enough and think for yourselves you will discover that illegal immigration is like any other profitable yet ineffective Washington industry including but not limited to failed health care, a 40+ year long failed drug war, illegal military wars, preventable great recessions, etc.. 

The truth is that US corporations and Washington politicians simultaneously profit from undocumented labor and the government border security reform contracts that pay billions to attempt to control illegal immigration. 

And just like their 40+ year long war on drugs, Washington has no intention of killing the goose that lays those golden labor or drug laden eggs.  Or put in another way, all of the profit is in decades-long fight - not in a sensible fix.

DHS and US Border Patrol AUO Fraud - What Is The Truth?

DHS and US Border Patrol AUO Fraud  -  What Is The Truth?

See this link: 

http://twopesos-protestfortheundocumented.blogspot.com/2014/02/i-ask-again-how-wide-spread-is-us.html

From my personal experience (USBP AUO Fraud):  We worked AUO when we did;we lied about it when we didn't, and we lied about it more than we worked it.  A combination, if you will, of two popular slogans today:  Don't ask, don't tell, and Just Do It and you will get your 25% overtime pay.

I wonder why this Senate Committee never asked Ron Vitiello, Deputy Chief U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or US Customs and Border Patrol Agent/National Border Patrol Council  Brandon Judd if as trainees they might have been indoctrinated into penciling in AUO overtime hours?  While the committee is at it they should ask the same of the Chief of the Border Patrol, Michael J. Fisher and all of the Chief Patrol Agents across the southwest border. 

They all started out as a trainees and rose through the system.  From my experience, it was  customary for US Border Patrol trainees to be told that penciling in AUO was OK or standard operating procedures.

Rock Bottom Trickle Down Effect - Another Border Shooting

http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Shooting-San-Diego-Border-Patrol-Otay-Truck-Trail--245985161.html

This is the "rock bottom" trickle down effect of two corrupt governments' insidious system of profit/labor/remittance driven illegal immigration requiring profit driven immigration reform.

Profits From Bi-National Trade And Drugs Are More Important Than The Lives Of Their Own Citizens

Profits From Bi-National Trade And Drugs Are More Important Than The Lives Of Their Own Citizens

I have a few questions and comments for you guys. 

Did NAFTA increase Mexican illegal immigration to the US?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ellen-r-shaffer/immigration-is-a-nafta-pr_b_642484.html

With all of the wealth and resources that Mexico and the US have (1.25 billion a day in cross border trade) why is it necessary for the Mexican undocumented to have to keep coming north to feed their families?
http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/35749.htm

If the US and Mexico are such great democratic nations and trading partners, why is it necessary to  keep putting more agents, fences and drones on the border that make the two countries look like they are more at war with each other then friendly neighbors? 

President Obama why do you seldom if ever mention the ongoing Mexican drug war that has slaughtered some 120,000 people since 2006?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/14761-fleeing-his-own-war-on-drugs-felipe-calderon-finds-refuge-at-harvard

Would the Mexican economy collapse if our border was sealed in such a way that illegal drugs and illegal immigration were effectively stopped?  We are talking many billions of dollars annually going south from illegal drug profits and remittances. 

Do either of you really expect the Mexican undocumented to stop going north when Vice President Joe Biden recently promised the Mexican economic elite to "bring the undocumented out of the shadows"?

Your combined NAFTA has resulted in 8 thousand border crossing deaths, and your combined drug war has resulted in over 120,000 deaths.  Do you guys really care about human life or the lives of your citizens?

Another Band Aide Type Immigration Reform Fix Won't Cut The Mustard

In response:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/18/activists-arrested-white-house_n_4808069.html?utm_hp_ref=latino-voices

Immigration reform activists need middle-class America on their side.  That could happen if said activists included protesting to Washington about Washington's trade policies (NAFTA) which have not only created poverty but a disparity in wealth in the undocumenteds' home countries that will continue to ensure their illegal immigration to the US.

Americans want a fix to illegal immigration.  Fixing illegal immigration will fix deportations. 

Simply doing another band aide type immigration reform fix (legalizing 11.2 million in exchange for 46.3 billion in border security boodle) will no longer cut the mustard.   

We The People will not accept another immigration reform which not only ignores the root cause of illegal immigration (the undocumenteds' home country poverty) but perpetuates it too.

What Is The Actuality Of Washington Ever Effectively Stopping Illegal Immigration?

In response:  http://www.politico.com/story/2014/02/poll-immigration-reform-103582.html#comment-1247986538

What Is The Actuality Of Washington Ever Effectively Stopping Illegal Immigration?

To the vast majority of Americans "Immigration Reform" means the effective stopping of illegal immigration.

The problem with those Americans is that they blindly trust that Washington wants to, will and actually can stop illegal immigration.

As a retired US Border Patrol/INS/ICE agent, I have heard the same solutions to illegal immigration for almost 35 years: "secure the border", "fine the employers",  "mandatory employment verification AKA E-Verify", "deport them all", etc.

I spend many hours in retirement reading comments stemming from illegal immigration and immigration reform articles.  Over and over again concerned writers offer solutions similar to the above.  Obvious solutions that if applied would work.

Yet the possibility that our own government does not want to effectively solve or stop illegal immigration never seems to dawn upon these posters.  And that is where "We The People" drop the illegal immigration ball and throw ourselves under Washington's immigration reform bus.

"We The People" need to wake up.  Illegal immigration is about profit from cheap labor.  Immigration reform is about billions in profit for Washington's border security cronies.  The rest is a bunch of emotional propaganda that is designed to keep "We The People" from seeing the truth.

I ask that you read what is said in these following articles.  I ask that you consider how these articles apply to illegal immigration and the reality of Washington ever effectively stopping it:   

The first is our own US Department of State glorifying our economic "relations" with Mexico.  At least read the part that describes the 1.25 billion dollars a day in cross border (NAFTA) trade,  Mexico being our second largest source of oil, and our third largest trading partner:

http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/35749.htm

Now please read these two articles pertaining to Washington's NAFTA and how NAFTA has actually exacerbated US illegal immigration:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ellen-r-shaffer/immigration-is-a-nafta-pr_b_642484.html
http://www.npr.org/2014/01/01/258668414/how-nafta-helped-the-mexican-billionaires-club

Now read the recent words of VP Joe Biden's September 20, 2013 speech to the Mexican economic elite.  Read how he praises our combined economic futures.  Read how he promises to bring all of the US undocumented "out of the shadows".  Notice how Biden fails to address the fact that 8,000 undocumented have died crossing the border since NAFTA's inception, and that 120,000 people have died since the inception of the US backed Mexican drug war that started in 2006 and continues today:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2013/09/20/remarks-vice-president-joe-biden-us-mexico-high-level-economic-dialogue

Finally what should be the coup de grĂ¢ce to the US and Mexican Governments' corruption is glorified at our own Harvard University:
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/14761-fleeing-his-own-war-on-drugs-felipe-calderon-finds-refuge-at-Harvard

Illegal immigration is about profit and corruption.  Until that corruption is exposed any of Washington's attempts to "reform" immigration should be shot down.
