Immigration Issues Confabulate

All the brouhaha over illegal aliens is simply confabulated.  To me, immigration is part and parcel of good government and capitalism.


Pshaw, you say?  Well, consider this:

• Our government’s budget never gets any smaller
• Unfettered capitalism is just a legalized semi-benign pyramid scheme

Both rely on growing membership roles:

• Government requires an ever increasing number taxpayers to fund its budget
• Industry requires an ever increasing number of consumers to grow and expand

So, how are government and industry connected to immigration?  It’s simple: when a country’s birth rate isn’t sufficient to support its government or grow business, the only other place new taxpayers and consumers come from is immigration.  Full stop.

Therefore the real question should be: How do we manage immigration to everyone’s benefit, not how do we stampede the buggers outa Dodge cuz they’re stealing our jobs.

The alternative to immigration is more babies.  And, in case you don’t see the irony, would you then run your own kids outa Dodge cuz they were stealing your jobs?

If you’ve been keeping up with the news you already know that 41 cents of every dollar our government spends is borrowed.  If we keep on reducing taxes and running immigrants outa Dodge that number could get so large that no one will feel comfortable lending the US money.  Then our government’s only recourse will be to print more dollars or raise taxes, and printing more dollars is just another form of taxation, except it’s called inflation.

So, I think we need to rethink our immigration policies before it’s too late.   We also need to elect people who are actually intelligent, not just rubber-stamping robots who follow a strict ideological party line.  If you believe in free will then you have to wonder why we would use it just to get better at monkey-see-monkey-do.  We need politicians that have the prairie oysters necessary to get the job done not politicians whose only concerns are avoiding cow patties and getting reelected, or whose only claim to fame is the amount of methane gas they’ve added to the atmosphere.
