Donald
Trump is being told that amnesty for "Dreamers," or DACA recipients,
will only apply to a small, narrowly defined group of totally innocent,
eminently deserving illegal immigrants, who were brought to this country
"through no fault of their own" as "children." (Children
who are up to 36 years old.)
Every
syllable of that claim is a lie, and I can prove it.
To see how
DACA will actually work, let's look at another extremely limited amnesty that
was passed in 1986.
Farmers
wanted temporary guest-worker permits for their cheap labor, so that they could
continue pretending that the Industrial Revolution never happened and refuse to
mechanize. (And, boy, did that work! We haven't heard a peep about "crops
rotting in the fields" since then.)
The
agricultural amnesty was supposed to apply to -- at most -- 350,000 illegal
aliens. It would be available only to illegals who were currently in the
country doing the back-breaking farm work that no American would do. Without
them, crops would wither on the vine. They were saving us from starvation!
Talk about
deserving. Are any Dreamers saving us from starvation?
But instead
of guest-worker permits, then-Rep. Charles Schumer -- from the lush farmland of
Brooklyn -- decided to grant full amnesty to any illegals who had done farm
work for at least 90 days in the previous year.
That's
pretty restrictive, isn't it?
In the end,
"up to 350,000 farm workers" turned into 1.3 million.
Oh well,
what are you going to do? No use worrying -- let's just move forward and get
all these people voter registration cards!
This
innocent little amnesty for a small, clearly defined group of illegals quickly
became amnesty for anyone who applied. The same thing will happen with any
other amnesty, no matter how strictly the law is written. (And it won't be
written strictly.)
In the
first few years of the agricultural amnesty, internal Immigration and
Naturalization Service statistics showed that 888,637 legalization applications
were fraudulent. According to immigration agents, "farm workers" stated
in their interviews that cotton was purple or that they had pulled cherries
from the ground.
Of the
888,637 fraudulent applications, guess how many our government approved.
Answer: More than 800,000.
The
agricultural amnesty was so carefully administered that not one, but TWO of the
1993 World Trade Center bombers were in this country because of it. (More on
that in another column.)
The main
problem with the farm worker amnesty, the DACA amnesty or any amnesty is that
everyone involved in the entire immigration apparatus is feverishly working, on
the taxpayer's dime, to transform this country into a Third World hellhole.
Lawyers for La Raza and lawyers for the government both believe it is their
mission to humiliate and destroy white Christian America. (Actually, this
country is "biracial Christian America," plus a few Amerindians and
anyone else who assimilated to Western European culture.)
There are
multitudes of them, and they will never, ever stop.
Congress
could pass a law granting amnesty to any 7-foot-tall, left-handed, red-headed
illegal aliens from Lichtenstein -- and hundreds of left-wing outfits would
instantly set to work, demanding amnesty for witch doctors, cannibals,
pederasts, terrorists and the rest of the multicultural universe that makes
America so vibrant.
On the
other side of the application process would be government immigration
bureaucrats who either used to work at La Raza, or hope to in the future.
On the off
chance that some particularly risible amnesty application is denied by a stodgy
rules-follower in our immigration bureaucracy, that denial will be litigated
before a federal judge in Hawaii, then appealed to the Ninth Circuit.
For two
decades after the 1986 amnesty, the federal courts were tied up with dozens of
class-action lawsuits brought on behalf of illegal aliens -- regular illegal
aliens, farm worker illegal aliens and still-in-Mexico illegal aliens --
challenging every aspect of the law.
Is that how
American tax dollars should be spent? On endless litigation, brought by
America-hating activists on behalf of people who have no right to be in our
country and decided by Democrat-appointed judges? (Who are also America-hating
activists.)
And when
their work is done, there will be a lot more Democrat-appointed judges because
there will be a lot more Democrats.
Lawyers
sued over everything -- the absence of Creole interpreters,
the requirement that illegals have proof of prior farm work and the rare
denials of amnesty. Congress desperately tried passing laws that would prevent
courts from hearing these cases -- all to no avail. Left-wing lawyers just had
to pick the right judge, and they won.
In 2005 --
nearly 20 years after the 1986 amnesty -- the Ninth Circuit was still granting
amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who claimed they had been
unfairly denied because they were not in the country for the first
amnesty. Seriously.
No matter
how the law is written, as long as anyone is eligible for amnesty, everybody's
getting amnesty.
President
Trump is the last president who will ever have a chance to make the right
decision on immigration. After this, it's over. The boat will have sailed.
If he
succeeds, all the p@ssy-grabbing and Russia nonsense will burn off like a
morning fog. He will be the president who saved the American nation, its
character, its sovereignty, its core identity. But if he fails, Donald Trump
will go down in history as the man who killed America.
