Our tax dollars at work - a Border police Agent at Burger KingPerhaps its a bit radical, perhaps a bit nave, well(p) now I believe that the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Border Patrol ar institutions which are no longer practical, useful, or necessary in this country. First of all, what are they really accomplishing? The Border Patrol is specifically intentional to keep hot or undocumented aliens from attack into the US. Is it working? Hardly. Oh sure, they suck in a few Mexicans running the desert now and then, but the numbers racket game that are apprehended dont come close to the numbers of those that make it through. And what about immigrants from other countries? Are our resources able to track those that evaporate in or arrive by boat? According to the azimuth Republic article Dying to Work, The INS strategy of blockading popular margin routes with high-tech gizmos and nearly 10,000 agents has yet to measurably cut the flow of illegal immigrants. In fact, it is estimated that there could be as many as 8 million illegal immigrants in the US today.Would it be so rotten to just let them in? Over 1100 Mexican nationals have died since 1997 just trying to get to El Norte. Is keeping them out really value all the expense of the Anti-Immigration agencies and the death toll involved? I would care to examine some of the issues believed to be a problem in this military postImmigrants are taking American jobs. While in the case of ameliorate immigrants taking skilled jobs this may be true, the numbers in this pip are very small. In fact, one problem that faces many immigrants coming to this country for work is that skills or certifications that they may have had in their national country wont transfer to professional jobs here, or the talking to barrier prevents them from performing professional jobs. A good example of this is with Seini from Tonga. In her home country she was a nurse, but in the US could simply be a nurses aide . Her husband Simi went from being a teacher in Tonga to a warehouse worker. Of more concern to Americans seems to be the throngs of unskilled laborers coming from Third World countries. These immigrants come to the US in the first place to seek employment, true, but in general the jobs they take are those that are low paying and undesirable to Americans. In speaking with the owner of Hoe-Down ornament Services, I was told that in 8 years of business he had not had a single white American apply for a job.
