Current Events and Politics

8 May 2008

                          Unit 5: Our Changing Nation Essay Assignment

 

      The various websites I found for immigration are listed in my Works Cited and one of them is a useful neutral non-partisan discussion website (Messerli, Joe), albeit lacked recent immigration news issues that the mainstream media generally omits anyway. I went to the Numbers USA website (Comparison of Immigration Reform Proposals: SAVE Act (2007) vs. H.R. 4432 (2005)) to get the recent legislation scoop on immigration, as it’s the best source that I know about on recent government law actions in process.

      The reliability of all my websites is they are all non-partisan and Numbers USA is non-profit too. The BalancedPolitics.org website (Messerli, Joe) source I used documents both “pros” and “cons” to maintaining/increasing immigration in America, so it’s appearance is trustworthy, but in my opinion, still lacks key details on the “con” side of the issue. The Numbers USA sources are obviously “con” websites only, but since mainstream media and alleged neutral immigration websites generally refuse to publicize recent bi-partisan government actions to limit immigration, I used them as a best/only sole source available. I added more references as I wrote the essay to back up my salient points too.

      The differences of opinions on the subject of immigration are documented in some detail from the BalancedPolitics.org website. The “pro” side had much more details and emphasizes increasing diversity of ethnic groups and providing big business plenty of cheap labor, while offering amnesty as a way to eliminate the illegal alien counts. The “con” side description from this “alleged balanced website” of increasing/maintaining immigration did a poor job in my estimation, as they omitted the adherence to America’s Constitutional Immigration Laws by our employers as a key rationale (in my opinion, it is); irrespective, the website focused on drug elimination and wage depressions. It also omitted another key “con” argument, uncontrolled population growth (Messerli, Joe).

      The Numbers USA website documents the Secure America with Verification Enforcement (SAVE) Act of 2007 (Comparison of Immigration Reform Proposals: SAVE Act (2007) vs. H.R. 4432 (2005)) hitting the Senate and the House for possible Discharge Petition; which has absolutely no amnesty provision and basically emphasizes border protection and employer enforcement only. It has clear and substantial bi-partisan support (The Campaign to Pass the SAVE Act), as its split between 162 Democrats and Republicans alike on support and petition signatures to date. Congressman Pelosi and Senator Reid are against the bill, but when it comes to immigration overpopulation they don’t listen to approximately 90% of the voters’ desire to trim growth from their neighborhoods’ roads, wetlands, parks and schools, as they apparently want to add to it and support more and more overpopulation amnesty. Then they want green house gas reduced too, with their magic wand.

The mainstream media usually weasel words pro-amnesty polls to say, “Do you support guest workers on farms”, to split the results, but you’ll never find an intelligent Zogby Poll that asks, “Do you support more growth in your neighborhoods”.

      My take on immigration is very clear; we need a break from it. We have more important issues impacting our country like hyper-inflation destroying our economy due to uncontrolled growth. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) documents 87% of the American environmental destruction overpopulation is legal/illegal immigrants and asserts the other 13% is the illegal anchor babies. The baby boomers are environmental kings and queens, as they kept population in America on a positive environmental decline, until greedy illegal businesses pushed unplanned growth and reversed their positive trends (Cleaning the Air on Immigration and the Environment). Yet we hear on mainstream media the horrors of the baby boomers for being infertile and not overpopulating America like good citizens increasing our carbon footprint, so we need illegal immigrants’ anchor babies to bring us back to utopia again. The brainlessness of this is not educated liberal in my book, as it’s clearly unplanned nonsense and the result in my opinion: the subprime banking mess, $4/gal gas, bridges collapsing and masses of unemployed kids with college degrees heading into this current American recession, etc, etc. It’s clear from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only about 20% of the growth in jobs requires a degree, yet, about 30% of American youth from age 21-30 have degrees (The 30 Occupations with the Largest Employment Growth, 2006-2016) and (Leaf, George).

      In my book, the next President doesn’t win the election, he inherits this hopeless mess that took decades to create and will be serving one term too, especially if he/she doesn’t implement depopulation in immigration ASAP to head off possible stagflation depression. My generation is doomed too, if we don’t depopulate now.

I feel I fit in to this blog now, it doesn't seem so "stuffed shirt" anymore, more relaxed and laid back.

Anyway, here's a high school essay I helped my daughter with on the future for our children (it fits the stagflation article from Dr. Roubini), enjoy [it got a 95% by the way]:

United States Government B

28 April 2008

Executive Branch Essays Assignment

The size of the federal bureaucracy continues to grow at a horrifying rate, as the Department of Homeland Security was added on after 911 because of severe security risks our country faces. The President’s ability to properly control government is getting mitigated as the country and its government grows at this alarming rate. Far more problems are occurring in the country now too, with basically uncontrolled population growth in America, causing a plethora of economic, security and environmental impacts to a degree we have never seen in the history of America. I’m sure voting for a proper Senator and Congressman that is in line with your views is far more practical than just a commander and chief Presidential choice, as at least they can form committees and draw from popular vote strengths and opinions from the people more effectively. This is far better than a President choice picked by a handful of lobbyists led executive power direction, that lack proper pragmatic details, direction, vision and morals to plan a way out of the coming American quagmire.

It’s easy to say, reduce the federal bureaucracy that will fix the problem. What is the federal bureaucracy? It’s the Food and Drug Administration that makes sure your food is clean. It’s the Federal Aviation Association, which makes sure your plane trip is safe. It’s the Department of Defense that makes sure you’re safe. In other words, are you going to be happy in land without a postal department? No, the answer isn’t reducing our safe guards and critical services by reducing government in those areas, nor is it removing all the regulations that protect us too. The answer is depopulating our country and our environmental and security costs will reduce substantially. We can solve the greenhouse gas problem and set an example to the rest of the world to depopulate too. I see terrorism, hunger, energy/food/water shortages, etc; etc just plain going away in a few decades and the President can draw a sigh of relief and reduce many of his departments’ bureaucracy. We must act now. Politicians are clearly afraid to act against uncontrolled population growth in America because special interests want lower wages and uncontrolled growth for short-term greed and without special interest money, you can’t get elected. Let’s hope their fear and greed doesn’t lead us all over the cliff, because we acted way too late.

The civil service system has been beneficial to the operation of the federal government by assuring that people stay put and gain experience. It is an honor to serve our country in America’s civil service system; as the majority of our federal servants are doing all they can keep this country afloat. Without our federal civil service system, we’d have to contract out for many times the cost, less effectiveness and far less experience to draw from too. It’s definitely helped America.

Raising taxes in America right now is ludicrous. We’re in a recession and it would make it far worse, as that’s why we’re giving out economic stimulus checks this week. No, we must regain our industrial base again and hence a tax base back again too; or we face the horrifying possibility of becoming a third world nation with no scientists and engineers inventing dreams for my children and I. If we do something like build a government patented car with 100% American labor and materials only; that might work.

I'd add this caveat to all of them: the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the following data on the top 30 occupations with largest employment growth (2006-2016):

http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecopro.t05.htm

Note: About 20% of the jobs require degrees, the rest are mostly/basically unskilled jobs. Where are the engineers? They aren't even on the list.

It all makes perfect sense now doesn't it.

The open door nut corporate powers have brainlessly outsourced our manufacturing engineering and research/development hopes; now they want a glut of overpopulation slaves to fill these remaining unskilled BLS jobs at slave wages.

This is the future world your kid with a college degree and no job experience will inherit from the Baby Boomers.

Like I said before, don't clean their room out just yet, especially if they have no work experience or more importantly, a work ethic.
