Comments on: Buckley on Illegal Immigration http://poliblogger.com/?p=6741 A rough draft of my thoughts... en Fri, 6 May 2024 05:44:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.2.1 by: DaveD http://poliblogger.com/?p=6741#comments Tue, 12 Apr 2024 08:59:40 -0400 38766:6741@http://poliblogger.com William F. Buckley makes his case. Curtailing illegal immigration must be addressed at several levels. Not only increasing the inconvenience of crossing the border itself but enhancing the inconvenience on the illegal immigrant of trying to gainfully subsist in the US. On a local level, businesses look the other way because illegal immigration provides cheap labor. And on the local level it is mainly an economic issue. As the concern of illegal immigration advances to the national conciousness, however, it becomes increasingly difficult to separate illegal immigration from national security. So, political forces on the local vs. national level have conflicting interests. William F. Buckley makes his case. Curtailing illegal immigration must be addressed at several levels.

Yesterday in USAToday they had an ediorial on the Arizona milita. They were against the idea and I wanted to write and make my suggestion. Form a full theatre army headquarters at Fort Bliss and put several army/marine division on the border. Coast Guard on Texas and California border with the Navy in the Caribbean. I did not send it because I realized-why bother. Illegal immigration and drug smuggling did not cause much alarm. Only if al-Quida attacked down there would some action. Thanks for the chance to spount. Mr. Buckley is right. Yesterday in USAToday they had an ediorial on the Arizona milita. They were against the idea and I wanted to write and make my suggestion.
