More on illegal immigration

Hi

I started to express my views on illegal immigration and now I would like to add to the subject. Before I go any further I would like to emphasize that I refer to ILLEGAL immigration, I think we need a controlled immigration policy. What we don't need is a flood of refugees crossing our borders at will.

Having said that I refer to some of my earlier blogs in which I express my prior reference for the "touch up" method of border control. Couple a good immigration policy with the flat tax and you have the best of two worlds. Legal immigrants can come into the United States and work and share the American dream. They can hold their heads high knowing they are both bettering themselves and welcomed by the natives. This is desirous because it is what our nation prospered on, a good work ethic and hope for the future. We can recapture that feeling and share it with our new wave of immigrants.

I refer to a flat tax as a condition of alleviating the immigration problem. If we had a flat tax the workers who immigrate to the United States would have more disposable income to spend. When they purchase goods and services they would be paying a share of our tax revenue source. Currently no body knows how much of current earnings goes "south", that is off the books and hence untaxed. Even the government gains under this system.

Another aspect of this type of solution is that the stigma attached to illegal is removed. Most of the back lash would be neutered. Again, we all gain.

There is a down side, the politicians cannot buy votes with phony legislation which benefits illegal immigrants. The politicos would have to prove themselves in order to get reelected. Hey, maybe this isn't a down side. Let's hope and pray we get some good meaningful legislation from our elected officials. Stay tuned, more to come.

Pray for our brave service people.
GOD Bless
