It's as easy as child's play.
So much of what has come to pass for “common
knowledge” is actually an example of how the principle of “The Big Lie”
can alter the public’s understanding of critical issues. Immigration has
proven to be particularly vulnerable to this tactic.
Under that principle, officials intentionally concoct falsehoods and
repeat them at every possible opportunity to convince the masses that
the lies are the truth. This principle was adopted by Nazi Germany in
order to con the German populace into accepting the unfathomable
depravity of the Third Reich.
Because
humans think with words, control of language ultimately results in
control of thought. This was the underlying principle of my recent article, Language Wars, The Road to Tyranny is Paved With Language Censorship.
Today the attention span of most Americans can be measured in
minutes, if not seconds, further exacerbating the susceptibility of
folks to fall victim to language manipulation tactics. The tactics
employed by the open-borders/immigration anarchists to further
their cause are so easy to disprove that even a child could see through
their warped logic.
First off,
consider the game of “Musical Chairs,” which most children are familiar
with. In this game, as music plays,' kids circle a line of chairs that
alternate in the way that the chairs are facing. When the music stops
each child scrambles to sit in one of the chairs. What makes the game
challenging is that there is one fewer chair than the number of kids
playing. Consequently, one child is unable to find a chair and is
removed from the game along with one chair. Once again there is one
chair fewer than the number of participating children. The music starts
again and the kids circle the remaining chairs until the music stops.
Each time one chair and one child are removed until the contest comes
down to two kids and one chair. Whichever kid manages to sit is
declared the winner of the game.
If
you wonder what this has to do with immigration, imagine that during the
game one of the adults supervising the game opens a door and allows
many more children to flood into the room, however, the number of chairs
is not increased. This way the odds of the children already playing
the game will succeed in grabbing a seat has just been decreased due
to the number of new players introduced into the game.
It should be expected that the children will scream that what has just happened is unfair and of course they would be right.
Now let’s imagine that we are not talking about a childhood game and
that the chairs are available jobs and the children are adult workers
who are desperate to find a job. The “doors” that have been flung open
are America’s borders and those entering the room (labor pool) are many
foreign workers, deleteriously impacting jobs and wages across a wide
spectrum of industries and skill levels.
Incredibly, many Americans cannot figure out the parallel between
these two situations. The Democrats who refused to stand for the State
of the Union Address when President Trump noted how unemployment levels
for American blacks and Latinos were at the lowest point in years were
clearly unhappy. Could it be that they have been depending on making
Americans more dependent on the “crumbs" that they offer? I use the term
“crumbs” because this was the very word used by Nancy Pelosi to
describe the thousand-dollar bonuses a number of companies provided to
their employees because of the Trump tax cuts.
Next let’s think back to the days of “Hide and Seek” where one child
covers his/her eyes and counts to ten and then attempts to find another
child who went hiding when the first child closed his eyes.
Today that game is being played by illegal aliens with great success
because the number of ICE agents, and the number of INS agents that
preceded the creation of ICE, has always been insignificant when
compared with the huge number of illegal aliens who have entered the
United States without inspection or violating the terms of their lawful
admissions.
Sanctuary city policies
make it ever more difficult for the overwhelmed ICE agents to track
down and apprehend illegal aliens, even when those aliens are engaged in
criminal or terror-related activities.
Of course, the mayors of sanctuary cities and governors of sanctuary
states hypocritically draw parallels between their actions and the
actions of leaders of the Civil Rights movement who put their lives on
the line to right the wrongs of slavery, racism, segregation and
discrimination.
Although this
parallel is an enormous falsehood, it has been repeated in the news
media and by a long list of immigration anarchists and consequently many
have fallen for this outrageous analogy. Illegal aliens are certainly
protected by due process when they are charged with a crime. But due
process is not the same as Civil Rights. The entire point to Civil
Rights laws is to guarantee all Americans, particularly American blacks,
equal opportunities to be successful in America and be full
participants in American society. Elements of this include access to
quality in education, job opportunities and housing.
Illegal aliens are not supposed to work, and knowingly providing
shelter for illegal aliens can be construed as harboring and shielding,
elements of a felony under federal law, Title 8 U.S. Code § 1324.
Where aliens and jobs are concerned, even many categories of
nonimmigrant aliens (temporary visitors) including aliens who lawfully
enter under the Visa Waiver Program or with tourist visas may not work
in the United States and immediately become subject to removal
(deportation) if they seek gainful employment.
Prior to WWII the Labor Department was in charge of immigration. The
greatest concern, back then, was to shield American workers from
foreign competition. This is how the middle class was nurtured and grew
to become the envy of the world and came to be known as the “American
Dream.”
Incredibly when President
Trump, in his State of the Union Address proclaimed, “American are
dreamers too” the members of the Democratic Party reacted with sheer
hostility, not only towards the President, but hostility and contempt
for Americans.
Awhile back I wrote an article about
the veiled attack on the middle class. In that article I reported on
how on April 30, 2009, Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal
Reserve Bank, testified at a hearing advocating
the passage of Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation, conducted
by Chuck Schumer, then Chairman of the Senate Immigration Subcommittee.
Greenspan was “all in” on legalizing illegal aliens, creating a guest
worker program for aliens and for hugely increasing the number of H-1B
visas as Bill Gates, whom he quoted, recommended.
As for the impact on American workers and American cities where illegal alien workers were concerned, Greenspan said:
Some evidence suggests that unskilled illegal immigrants (almost all from Latin America) marginally suppress wage levels of native-born Americans without a high school diploma, and impose significant costs on some state and local governments.
That “marginal suppression of wages” for America’s working poor is
likely a significant cause of unemployment of Americans and a record
levels of homelessness of Americans.
Greenspan’s advocacy for greatly increasing the number of H-1B foreign worker included this justification:
The second bonus would address the increasing concentration of income in this country. Greatly expanding our quotas for the highly skilled would lower wage premiums of skilled over lesser skilled. Skill shortages in America exist because we are shielding our skilled labor force from world competition. Quotas have been substituted for the wage pricing mechanism. In the process, we have created a privileged elite whose incomes are being supported at noncompetitively high levels by immigration quotas on skilled professionals. Eliminating such restrictions would reduce at least some of our income inequality.
Greenspan actually had the unmitigated chutzpah to refer to high-tech
American workers as the “privileged elite” who are being shielded from
foreign competition. As an economist Greenspan understand “supply and
demand” and seeks to greatly increase the supply of compliant and
exploitable foreign workers in the labor pool to drive down everyone’s
wages.
The Democrats frequently equate
providing a minimum wage of $10.10 per hour or $15.00 per hour with
“wage equality.” This is clearly not about wage equality but about
establishing a “standard wage” which would eradicate the middle class.
The "reforming" of our immigration laws for Greenspan and his globalist cohorts is an effort to actually re-form our immigration system to speed the destruction of the middle class.
Since that hearing Greenspan has persisted in his calls for re-forming the immigration system.
Hypocrisy is usually a clear indicator of a con job. Schumer has
called for creating a federal law with a maximum penalty of 5 years in
prison for those who trespass on critical infrastructure or national
landmarks. Yet Schumer demands that aliens who trespass on America be
granted United States citizenship.
A child could see through their lies.
