Outrageous bit of news from WSBTV 2:
Mexico and 10 other countries have filed amicus briefs in a lawsuit that asks a judge to declare Georgia’s new immigration law unconstitutional and to block it from being enforced.
The lawsuit was filed two weeks ago by civil liberties groups.
Besides Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru filed amicus briefs on Wednesday in support of the plaintiffs…
Georgia’s law is similar to Arizona’s immigration statute – and thus is pretty much just a re-statement of a nearly 80 year old Federal law regarding the requirement of immigrants to carry documentation on them at all time. This, naturally, has upset the usual liberal suspects in the United States – who are now being joined by foreign nations in attempting to subvert American sovereignty and democracy. I have the cure for this – though we won’t be able to do it until we replace Obama. The solution is to make State and local expenditures on illegal immigrants recoverable at law from the country of origin.
Here’s how it would work. The States and localities have to pay out pretty large sums of money to providing housing, clothing, food, medical care, education, incarceration, etc in support of the population of illegal immigrants. What we do is enact a law inviting the States and localities to sue in federal court for damages. States and localities would have to identify the nationality of the people they are expending funds on and then, once a year, file a claim (as it were) to recover the costs. If a federal court rules that the persons in question are, indeed, illegally in the United States and that the State and local government expended X amount of dollars on them, then the country of origin is assessed the amount expended on average, per person. So, if California has 2 million illegal immigrants from Mexico and they cost, on average, $1,000.00 per person last year, California would be awarded $2,000,000,000.00 payable by Mexico – it would be collected in the form of a tariff on Mexican goods until the balance is paid, unless Mexico just wants to pony up the amount in a lump sum.
This measure doesn’t deport anyone. It doesn’t report any particular individual to law enforcement. It doesn’t stop illegals from obtaining medical care. It doesn’t kick a single illegal out of school. It doesn’t differentiate based upon national origin. It provides a revenue stream for State and local governments so it will not be fought by them (just watch the “sanctuary cities” line up for it). Most importantly, it forces the countries of origin for the illegals to pay the freight for having them in the United States. It is an absolutely fair and easily executable law – and it will rapidly curb illegal immigration in to the United States because the nations currently sending illegals here to work and send money back home will lose their easy money…and have a huge hit on their export trade to the United States.
I’d like to hear of an objection anyone can make to this. To me, it is the most merciful and just way to deal with the thorny issue. Remember what illegal immigration is all about – money. For the poor illegals, themselves, it is to make money…but it is also a big money maker for the hopelessly corrupt nations which provide the bulk of our illegals. This measure would simply take that money back – it’ll eliminate the profitable trade in illegal labor and thus make it something much less likely to happen. The trouble is, of course, that we’ll never get something like this past Obama…but he may be gone on January 20th, 2013.
