Immigration A Positional Paper

Immigration

Immigration is a huge problem in our country. For good reason too. First let me say that I am NOT against Immigration We are all either immigrants or descendants of immigrants. Including the Native American people of which I am one.

The USA is a beacon of hope around the world. We stand for truth, justice, a better way of life. In short America stands for opportunity and just about everyone on this planet knows that. This is why we have people from nearly every nation on earth living within our borders. We are a great melting pot. We give those who are willing to work hard and smart the chance at a better life and even get rich.

I truly believe that America is humanity's last hope for freedom and survival. We enjoy freedoms here than many around the world can only dream about when they go to sleep at night. We enjoy such freedoms and opportunity that some people will try to subvert the very nation they wish to live and grow within.

I'm talking about illegal immigration. It is a huge problem we have and it must be stopped. We have laws on the books that take care of this so new laws or reform is not needed. What is needed is the enforcement of the laws already on the books. What we don't need is more laws that complicate things even more and we don't need more laws that won't be enforced.

We have ways for people to enter our nation legally. We have many ways. We have many ways in which people can legally stay in our country. We have ways of helping those who truly need it such as political asylum. However, we cannot help the entire world.

I have heard it estimated that some 2 billion of the worlds population would attempt to immigrate to the USA if they had a means to do so. Lets just say that number is high. Lets say only 25 percent of that 2 billion is the correct number. That means some 500 million people would like to call the USA home if they had the means to do so.

We obviously could not handle such an influx of humans in our country. If this number is correct and people wait for years for an opportunity to get here, why should we allow illegals to come here? Why should we reward illegals with benefits such as Social Security and education? Why should we not enforce the laws we have and punish those who come illegally and then why not reward those who enter legally?

Illegal immigration is not a good thing for our nation and the argument about cheap labor does not justify the breaking of our nations laws and codes. Besides there are plenty of people who come here legally who would want such jobs that illegals take. There are plenty of people who come here legally who would be happy to contribute to our society. Illegals to NOT contribute to a law abiding society. They take from it. They steal from it. They rape it.

We need to close the borders, track down and throw out all 12 million illegals and punish those who harbor or help these people. Then maybe we can increase the number of legal immigrants to our nation. After all, the USA likes to tout itself as a nation of laws. If this is the case then why not enforce those laws that were put in place to protect her and her citizens?

Global Warming/Cooling/Change

The Environment – Global Warming.

Most of us older than say 15 or so probably can remember days when the snow came down heavy and snowbanks were so high you could sled down them. We can remember snowbanks so high that you probably could not see across the street from your living room window. We can remember blizzards that knocked out power for days and shut down schools for days.

We can remember when we had a white Christmas and a we can also remember when Halloween was so cold that most of us wore long john thermals under our costumes.

Yea those were the good old cold days. The days before Global Warming. The days when record lows were recorded often. Oh wait. Doesn't that sound just like the past five years?

Yes it does. In fact as I write this, the Mid West has some 1 million residents without power due to ice and snow storms. Much of the Norther United States will see a very white Christmas this year and some pretty hefty if not near record breaking lows is squeezing the heat out of Global Warming enthusiast.

Global Warming is no more absolute science fact as evolution is. (Yes, now you know where I stand on evolution but that is for another post.) In fact there is a lot of real and legitimate science that tells us man is not the cause of global warming and that the earth is not warming up abnormally. In fact parts of the world are getting colder.

We hear a lot about the northern polar caps melting. We hear that Polar Bears are drowning out in the open water because they didn't know that there once frozen solid hunting grounds melted away. What we don't hear about is how the Southern Polar cap is growing. What we don't hear about is how some nations north and south of the equator are experiencing bitter cold snaps. What we don't hear about is penguins in the south are flourishing because their habitat is growing.

None of that fits the mold. Pro global warming scientist conveniently forget to remind us that Greenland at one point in the past when it was discovered and named, was indeed green. Long before man began using fossil fuels.

These scientist fail to remind us that the earth has always had cyclical cycles in weather and temperature. Some 200 years ago, England was in the throws of what we call a mini Ice Age. Charles Dickens wrote some of his best works with a backdrop of London covered in snow. In order for that to happen, the earth had to change its weather patterns. This means that at some point before the Dickens era, England was warm and never saw snow. Did man influence that warm up and cool down? Of course not.

In fact there are so many scientists, climatologist, meteorologist, geologist, etc that do not believe there is any man made or natural global warming it would boggle your mind but you never hear about these prominent and very learned people.

Yes there is an agenda. The agenda is to take your freedom. The agenda is to tell you how to live. The agenda is to punish you for being a prosperous people. The agenda is to take your money. Why else would they be so adamant about an opposing view. After all isn't that what good science is about, looking at theories from all angles?

Of course it is. However, the global warming crowd does not want opposing views to be presented. They even go so far as to try and ostracize those who have opposing views. They often crowd the lecture halls where those on the other side speak and then yell and scream to keep the other view from being heard.

This goes to prove that their position is weak and feeble. Nobody who has a strong and truthful position has to use such tactics in order to keep the other side silent. What do the global disaster believers have to fear if their science is so fool proof and sound?

The point is they have plenty to fear because they know there science is not fool proof nor is it sound. The simple fact is that the sun, our sun, causes our planet to warm and cool depending on its level of activity. There are times when our sun is hotter than usual and there are time when it is cooler than usual. This is directly reflected in the climate of the planet. More activity, as we have no, means warmer temperatures usually in the north. Thus places that we know of as being covered in snow, begin to green up.

The dirty little secret is that when they places do green up and the snow melts away, we discover trails and villages and other human activity from centuries past. This means that these areas were warm at one point which goes to help prove that this current weather pattern is not dire nor is it unique.

In short, yes we humans have polluted. But, we humans are causing global warming. In fact if you Google, science against global warming or anything in that genre, you will get a plethora of sites giving, showing and telling you about information, proven science that disproves global warming.

If I were the leader of a nation, I would not sign onto the global warming band wagon and I would tell the United Nations to go take a hike. A real hike and have them explore the planet and see that man could not possibly be big enough to destroy our environment. But some people think they are big enough to know how you should live and they are fighting to take your money and your freedom so they can do just that. Global Warming is the weapon of choice that some in the media have been swindled into supporting.
