Welcome to John Gruber’s America

Welcome to John Gruber’s America was the unofficial title to the President’s speech last night.    The program that he outlined whether within his power as president or not is a cruel joke.      Let me explain.     The aliens who are here illegally all came from countries in which the authorities were not ‘warm and fuzzy!’    Corruption is a National pastime in the countries of origin, and fear of the authorities very common.

Here in the United States the Department of Immigration and Nationalization did little to endear itself with these people, and by their raids on businesses etc. continued to create a climate of fear.   If you need reminding take a look at the pictures taken during the Clinton era of the raid on the Gonzales home in Florida The armed to the teeth agents appeared on the scene to return a little boy to Cuba.    A raid on a drug den would require less armament!     Fortunately for most of the affected people (illegal aliens) they were able to disappear in the population and live the American dream with some modifications, to wit:

1)      As they did not have social security numbers so they just made up numbers.      The employer turned the other cheek, deducted the FICA due and paid his workers.   If a problem occurred the worker disappeared with no forwarding address and went to work somewhere else.    Like most immigrants these workers were diligent, honest, reliable, and hard working.    Most employers who dealt with these people relate that these immigrants are their best workers.

2)      Large chunks of earnings were set aside and sent home to aid family members who could not escape.   The help to family members creates a situation in which few, if any, have money for lawyers, legal advice, or a quick escape if the world should turn sour.

3)      Most aliens or immigrants live by the Russian principle:  “Don’t Speak,”  “if you must speak don’t write,” if you must write, Write a denial.  They just want to be left alone!

The President’s edict provides for registration and paying the back taxes as conditions precedent.    The President has been clear in saying that if the Congress comes up with something different that will supersede his plan and therefore indicated to the people who are NOT part of the “stupid electorate” that they are placing themselves in danger if they participate in the program.     Each member of this class of people knows that if he/she paid taxes he/she has no record of it.    The employer has no record.    Tax evasion is a felony and people who commit felonies are not eligible for the program.    Like most government programs there are so many catch 22's only fools would hail the President's speech as anything other than cruel political rhetoric.

The deception of the government aside, many of the immigrants (aliens) have experience with the Department of Immigration and Nationalization and that experience has been unpleasant.    Thus, few if any after due consideration would take the chance of serious consequences for themselves and their families by believing the statements of a government that has so often demonstrated that it has little credibility.      Comfort does not come from a President who wanders the USA for six years and cries he has no authority to present this very program, and then after being admonished by the “stupid electorate” that they are no so stupid suddenly claims he does have the power.

The focus of the political elite should not be on whether the president has the Constitutional authority or not, but, on bringing another group of aliens into the mainstream of America.    They and their children will revitalize the “stupid American electorate” who according to the Gruber credo *****.
