The Legalities of Insanity

Resounding with jabs coated in verbose misinterpretations and dominated by pure emotion, the public outcry for the cease of illegal immigration has evolved into a war between borders to fortify the borders. However, overlooked amidst media hypocrisy forged by prevalence towards polarization is the apparent offspring of the illegals or legal immigration. In the new age topsy turvey world of electronic media and love affair with the substantiation of the banner headline, the great age of immigration and Ellis Island have become virtually inconspicuous in the subconscious of the public.

Thanks to the actions of the late JFK, hunting season on the U.S. borders and white collar jobs has been wide open since 1965. Under misleading verbiage such as the Family Reunification Act and the hazy requirements for refugee status, thousands of brilliant minds legally immigrate to the shores of America every year and flood the already qualified labor force with an excess, while depriving their native lands of capable doctors, teachers and government administrators. Within this situation nightmare rivaling a dichotomous nightmare, the seemingly exponential amount of PHD's now inhabiting the U.S. scrape to find work in academia, while the third world vacated by balanced minds is left to furrow under the binding vines of dictatorship and extremism.

On average 500,000 legal immigrants are granted passage into the U.S. yearly, and many under the confusing mantra of political refugees. The influx of population has adverse effects on the stabilization of community, economics, resources and environment. In short, the quality of life in the middle class remains at a stagnant plateau. To complicate matters, large corporations commence daily operations as if enduring the reality of a labor shortage. Many businesses will simply not hire Americans as the veil of political correctness and the failed grasp of the current economic environment prevail.

As the U.S. population swells towards 400,000,000 by 2050, thanks to the dated immigration policies set in the 20th century, the consequences can be observed globally. For the better part of one hundred years, presidents and congress have failed in attempt to pass a feasible bill that squelches the dense flow of human traffic through the revolving door of the borders. Though the mantra of “a nation of immigrants” remains viable within a context pertaining to the proper means of assimilation, the economy is now just recovering from the vibrations caused by the Great Wave which swept across the Atlantic in forgotten times.
