The title of this blog is changing to "America-Centric Progressive-Conservative," which believes in a fair economic system for all citizens, keeping our valued American traditions, ensuring that citizens have first priority for all jobs over all others in their own country, and understanding that the Statue of Liberty does not mean globalization, as internationalism has gone overboard, the nation-state system should always be kept in place. Lady Liberty basically means liberty and justice for all.

Pogo's Maxim -- November 9, 2012
ReplyDeleteThe old cartoon character, Pogo, is famous for saying, "I have met the enemy, and it is I." Something Rush Limbaugh should have considered before he started blaming just Democrats for mass immigration to America on his radio program the other day. The 1965 Immigration Act, which is the vehicle that mass immigration has ridden on for the last few decades, had overwhelming Congressional support, including considerable Republican support that year, and even today, Corporate Republicans and Corporate Independents, such as that odious New York mayor, Michael Bloomberg, support mass immigration as much as Democrats, probably even more so. It was relatively easy for native-born Americans to find jobs in the 1950's, 60's and 70's until Congress opened the floodgates in '65 (the real effects of which took place about fifteen years later) and started letting the whole world settle in America. As if it wasn't bad enough to exacerbate unemployment, why would any country want their whole character to inevitably change through mass immigration? Well, practically every country in the world besides America doesn't, including Mexico, which has very strict immigration laws; they probably laugh at America. The Immigration Act is as preposterous a policy today as it was in 1965, but it's still not too late to shut the gates, although unlikely, with Obama & the Social Liberals getting a fresh heyday from the recent vote. Still, House Republicans, who thankfully stopped the social liberals from entirely controlling the 113th Congress, should send up bills to at least stop the "green card" lottery. They should also try to roll back the 1965 Immigration Act even though that would probably be a harder sell in this social liberal atmosphere than just stopping the "green card" lottery, but we believe that just trying would gain them significant support in the next Mid-term Elections (2014). By the way, it seems that Limbaugh supports the same Corporate Republicans, a la Mitt Romney, that support mass immigration, yet he complains about this subject. If he happens to care not for maxims from cartoon characters, maybe he should consider the general advice of ex-presidential candidate, Herman Cain, "Blame thyself."
