1. As a citizen of California, I see that my economy runs, to a significant extent, on illegal immigration, largely from Mexico, as a cheap labor force. This is also true of other parts of our country to varying degrees.

That’s just another myth spread by ideologues and ethnic activists. I don’t know how many times the myth about the economy being dependent on illegals has to be disproved before people will stop mouthing these cliches. It’s as if they think Wall Street shills like Larry Kudlow are more accomplished than George Borjas.

Check the immigration sections at Parapundit.com site for refutation after refutation of this open borders propaganda.

2. Mexico has always been incapable of governing itself in a rational way and taking care of its people. There is no expectation that it will in the future. So there will be continued pressure on Mexicans (and others in similar situations) to come here.

The Arab countries are no different. Does that mean successful Israel should give in and allow for mass Arab immigration?

3. Many, probably most, illegal aliens are decent people who want to work hard and live normal lives.

So are the working class Americans who’ll be forced to compete with illegals. But who cares about them?

Besides human beings are not mere economic units. They have interests that go well beyond materialism.

4. Some illegal aliens are criminals.

Disproportionately so as the jails in CA show.

5. Our borders are porous.

They weren’t always porous. Under previous presidents, such as Eisenhower, with smaller border patrols the US was able to control illegal immigration and it had little trouble deporting the invaders. That America had the will to do something about it. Present day America is already so Balkanised it can’t muster the will to defend itself.

6. There are a significant number of people in the world who want to overthrow our civilization and replace it with Islamist ideology. Some of these people want harm us physically.

Latino (mostly Mexican) organisations are highly ethnocentric. Their arguments about America being a “nation of immigrants” are disingenuous. It’s all about ethnic power to them. The demonstrations last year showed what contempt they have for what they see as weakling Americans.

(Incidentally, according to a 2002 ADL report 44% of foreign-born Hispanics hold “hardcore” anti-Semitic views. Not that it’s changed the ADL’s pro-open borders agenda.)

7. The rule of law is a necessity for a functioning democratic society.

Few Latin Americans care about such things. If they did their societies would not be so corrupt. Latino insistence that their “rights” are more important than US laws is just the latest example.

8. Immigration is necessary to the economic health of our society.

I didn’t realise the USA was such a failure.

9. Immigration is good for our national character.

Immigration dilutes national character unless it is so gradual that the immigrants are forced to fully integrate into the majority culture. That is not happening at present due to the scale of the migration of Mexicans and the multicultural domination of the media, academia, and even Corporate America.
