ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND TERRORISM: TWO HEADACHES THAT CAN BE CURED ON THE DOUBLE !!


  • Yesterday, the spokesman of the White House, Scott McLellan issued a statement in the sense that the US Government is considering to make harder the steps to halt illegal immigration through the Mexican border.

    The reason given by the United States is that terrorists might get into their territory among those immigrants, and that they could be a real threat for their homeland security.

    And even when the illegal immigration flow started due to the series of insurmountable barriers set by the US Government to grant working visas, up to this minute, as far as we know, none of the illegal immigrants either Mexican, Salvadoran, Guatemalan, Chinese, Korean, etc., has ever committed any terrorism act in US soil.

    According to information by the US media, the alleged perpetrators of the horrible 9/11 attack, had legal documents and their migratory status was in full compliance with the laws of that country.

    Nevertheless, the hardening of the steps in the border crossings are growing inhumane every time as to endanger the lives of the men and women whose sin is to go and search their “Promised Land” for a better life and that is not fair in any context at all.

    Now, if we analyze all these elements, we dare to suggest the strategists of the US Homeland Security and the Economy Committee of the Congress and the Migratory Authorities the following:
  • To ease as much as possible the requirements for the granting of working visas.- It is an undeniable fact that the illegal immigration flow will never stop, no matter what.
  • By having the record of everyone that crosses into the US to get a job, there will be a better control of his origin, stay, and movements within the city, the state and the country. And in a given moment, citizenship could be granted to the one who requests it and earns it.

All these workers make a huge contribution with their job to the enrichment of the United States and unavoidably, will be the ones to help in a great part to the payment of the retirement pensions of their senior citizens, the current and the future ones.

These three simple points if well analyzed, worked, combined and implemented will be the longed-for remedy to their deep headache of the fear of Trojan horses in the US.

And at the same time, it will soothe the wide-spread psychosis of the US citizens, especially in the State of Texas, that regard the illegal immigration as a “tool” of a complot by the Mexican Government to “seize back” the territory that, once upon a time, was a part of Mexico. --- Sure, the lion is always suspecting everyone has his same intentions ---

Isn’t this is a most simple remedy? Or, is it about something else?
