The first theory behind the push to approve the immigration bill is that Bush desires to create a North American Union, where the United States, Canada, and Mexico become one giant country, and the dollar is replaced by the Amero. The other theory is that Bush is just a pawn of the Big Business-Welfare State axis to create a Latin American-style society with an exploitable brown-skinned workforce by day and pliant clients for ever-expanding big government by night. Of course these are the conservative thoughts but then you have the reformist thoughts like those of Linda Chavez who declares that anyone who disagrees with her stance on the reform issue is a racist. Her extremism extends so far as to state that those who do not support the reform believe that existing law is a consolation prize for not being able to forcibly sterilize all Mexicans whom they see as dirty, diseased, indolent, and more prone to criminal activity.

Even President Bush got into the act last week by stating that opponents of the bill were nitpicking the legislation and scaring people because they don’t “want America to do what’s right.” Of course, one must always be aware that there are going to be those elements in society that are racially motivated but it is also obvious that the bottom line is the marketplace, which is the ultimate arbiter of right and wrong. There are also aristocrats, who to be sure, would love a caste system to be generated in the U.S. using a color-coded agenda that would place on of these recently amnestied immigrants into a societal lower caste that would serve the elite and upper classes of American society.

However, even if any of these theories is correct no one is saying we need to keep the Mexican population out because they are racially inferior and no one is pushing amnesty as a vital first step toward the nullification of the U.S. Constitution.

And while I am not in favor of the Amnesty program it is not because of any of the above theories. I simply feel that any and all criminal acts, be they entering our country illegally, burglary, or drug possession, should be treated as crimes against American society and if one is to be forgiven without recourse then all should be forgiven. True, each case must be determined individually, but it is totally unfair to those persons who sought refuge and were denied to be penalized while those who broke the law to enter are afforded all the rights of American citizenship without due process.
