Assimilate or get out of the U.S.

The United States immigration issue is simpler than we are making it. Either a foreigner wants to become an American, pledging his allegiance or be deported. This is not a novel, unreasonable or radical idea. It has been used throughout our history.
During the massive European immigration of the early 1900s, not everyone who entered Ellis Island was allowed to stay. Immigrants who were physically defective or considered politically subversive were rejected outright and deported. Criminal activity meant a one-way ticket home.
Over 100,000 Italians who came to America in the 1900s returned to Italy due to their inability or unwillingness to assimilate into the American culture. They decided America was not for them. Millions of others chose to pay their dues to proudly become part of our country.
During the great Depression, President Hoover deported illegal immigrants to open jobs for American citizens.
In 1954, President Eisenhower unleashed Operation Wetback. His administration deported 1.3 million illegal Mexicans in a two-year period. Instead of releasing them just over the border, they were placed on buses or trains going to the interior of the country. The coercive nature of this policy persuaded over half a million illegal aliens to return to their country.

Our greatness as the land of opportunity can only continue by protecting our sovereignty. The present framing of the illegal immigration issue by the elites attempts to make illegal immigrants legal with the stroke of a pen. It is a smoke screen for removing the U.S. borders from the map. There are many millions of unassimilated aliens, many having little to no allegiance to our heritage. Either they adopt the culture or there will be political unrest with many calling for a separatist movement or a Western hemisphere union changing forever our cultural heritage. Americans will be robbed by greedy elitists of our vast wealth and constitutional protections.
We have the right and the legal power to choose who is allowed into our country. There are many more foreigners who want to become American citizens than we would want to or could absorb into our country. This is the reason we, like other countries, have the right to place quotas on the number of people allowed to enter. They should be the best and brightest workers who can enhance America. They need to speak English, learn our history and desire to follow our laws.
* Sounds racist doesn't it ?
No ?
This isn't racism ?
Funny how its always framed as such. Repeat an untruth enough and people will believe it ? *
The idea that America cannot prosper without open borders is ludicrous. It is the height of hypocrisy when the Mexican government lectures us about our need for open borders for survival then arrests and deports over 100,000 Hispanic illegals yearly when they enter their southern border.
Only pandering politicians and greedy businessman would accept the elimination of our sovereignty as a nation. There is no need for a Security and Prosperity Partnership between Mexico, Canada and the United States nor a guest worker program for low wage corporate workers. The interest of foreign nations or international elites should never displace that of the American citizen.
* Lets give that another read: The interest of foreign nations or international elites should never displace that of the American citizen.
Should it ? *
We Americans, who come from all over the world, have worked too hard to climb up the social ladder not to fight our self-serving leaders who want to cash in America for their personal gain. Reason and logic are on our side.
* Yet the elite mandarins in the govt. are NOT on our side. *
Anyone who has entered America illegally needs to leave and re-enter legally. Any business that hires illegals should be heavily fined or the executives imprisoned. Any illegal that attempts to remain in the U.S. should be deported. Any illegal immigrant or for that matter, citizen who thinks our streets are paved with gold just for the taking without any need to contribute should leave immediately. People with welfare or criminal intent should be deported or imprisoned. They will be a drain on our children's future.
* Lets give THAT another read: People with welfare or criminal intent should be deported or imprisoned. They will be a drain on our children's future. *
This process of becoming an American citizen always has been a long and difficult one. A person had to meet certain criteria, pay significant fees and spend many years completing the bureaucratic red tape. By the time one finished the arduous procedures, he had reaffirmed his desire and commitment to become an assimilated American citizen. Dedicated citizens, not illegals, are the fuel that drives our greatness. By directing our mental and physical energies through hard work, we have reaped individual success. America will continue to prosper with new American citizens who are excited about the vast opportunities available in the U.S. to obtain the American dream.
Reaching our goals through personal sacrifice has elevated all of America.
