Borders, Mexicans, and the necessity to humble America ...

It's the law! We're a nation of laws! There's a process to citizenship! They're draining our medical system and ruining our economy! The list of reasons for American sanctimony regarding illegal immigration goes on and on. We huddle under the piety of selected laws when we wish to hide our motivations.We suddenly become fiscally astute when Mexican illegals use our medical system but don't utter a word when millions of obese citizens strain the same system with self-imposed problems caused by gluttony and laziness.Why is American abhorrence to illegal immigration boiling, steaming words like "civil war"? What are the real reasons for American outrage on this perceived invasion?

Have you ever seen a dog, disinterested in certain food, suddenly spring forward to guard it against another animal about to check it out? That's what Americans do when illegal immigrants scramble to grab jobs that we don't want. Is it about citizenship or desiring them to jump through the same hoops of economic socialism expected of us? Think about the simplicity in hiring an illegal realizing that an inexhaustible number of them wait in line should some fail to produce.

Mr. McMurtry hires Chimalma, Soraida and several of their non-citizen relatives and friends to work at his farm market. He ignores all the niceties of minimum wage, workman's compensation, etc.. Over twenty years his business grows and so do the number of employees willing to work for him on those terms. In twenty years things happen. A few workers got hurt on the job, two were fired for stealing, and a few passed away of old age and sickness, things that occur anywhere. The relationship is a natural one; an economy dating back thousands of years. McMurtry or any of his workers could go their way at any time. Several of the workers become U.S. citizens, enter college, and achieve other goals. Mr. McMurty fine-tunes his business, placing the more experienced workers in positions that best suit the operation, increasing their wages as well. The farm market prospers well beyond his competitor's down the road who plays by the government rule book, Affirmative Action and all. Is it possible that the principals of a simple economy are superior to one more complex? Do complex economies really equal government-sanctioned theft? Is the complexity of an economy directly proportional to it's corruption?

A predominant reason why Americans are hot over illegal immigration is fear of losing their "socialism." Illegals' demand is due not only to their competitive wages but their superior work ethics as well, shortcutting costly American employment processes. Labor unions, Affirmative Action, and the holy IRS are particularly threatened. The "old way" of doing business is out in the light where genuine productivity is plain to see, independent of corrupt and profit-killing unions and politicians getting a cut of the action. If Mexican illegals can work better for less on farms and in service industries, think of their potential in the higher-paying jobs. A simple cash economy threatens our placebo economy of credit. The illegal's way of doing business, fine-tuned, may change the American slave-to-credit standard of living into a more realistic one. Which do you prefer, owning less or appearing to own a lot by signing your soul over to the bank? Is a debt-burdened American economy and lifestyle good or only appears to be?

Mexicans cannot implement the necessary labor changes in their own country because of the drastic class imbalance, producing many corporate Mexican millionaires at the expense of impoverishing their own people. The suppressed Mexican peso blamed for much of the border-crossing, can arguably be linked with American subjugation going as far back as 1846, resulting in Mexico never recovering; a subject for another time. These economic necessities and cultural realities launching the flight across our border with desperation to survive and save their families back home, ironically creates a superior worker.

Face it, we're decreasing so that others may increase. A global economy is imminent. Laws and citizenship should not usurp an individual's right to pursue work and another's to hire? Yes, illegal immigration threatens our tax and employment systems as well as our standard of living. A humbled America may be a better one.
