The Migrant Industrial Complex

By

I got educated by James O’Keefe’s, “Line In The Sand” yesterday. With his typical investigative approach, he really pulled the covers off the “migrant industrial complex”, enabled and funded by the U.S. government.

In the political season, rhetoric mostly dwelt on gang crime, fentanyl deaths, and sex trafficking – probably because these contexts hit high notes of concern with a minimum of argument. They’re efficient shibboleths that can plug in to any speech, and leave room for more rhetoric on other subjects.

O’Keefe’s exposure of the “migrant industrial complex” shows us the human supply chain elements from origins to destinations, and all the operators engaged in the business who depend on the porous border for their livelihood. Foreign cartels provide links in the chain, but they’re only one set of agents.

There are the NGO operators selling and organizing the migration pipeline to third world customers. Some of these operators have political motivations, others come from various American religions. It stands to reason that some of these groups cooperate with cartels to move their human product. The revenue model for the intake groups appears to come from direct fees and from U.S. government reimbursements per head.

Most interesting is that the pipeline market sells specific destinations. It would also be interesting to see how the different destinations are priced, and what add-on promises are used to up-sell the packages from standard to premium.

After the human products make it through the border, a legion of supply chain operators, including some churches, move their captive market through transportation modes, detention camps, relocation service providers, and destination housing, while providing legal matriculation support, all for direct service fees and government per-head reimbursements.

Massive sums of government money grease the migrant industrial complex. The supply chain operators express a charitable veneer to legitimize and authenticate their various revenue models.

This migrant industrial complex is a national disgrace, built on selling the illusion of the American dream to desperate customers, that traffics in adults and children, for huge money.

I expect the drug revenue model for cartels is dwarfed by the government subsidies.

Closing the border limits the human intake supply and spells the eventual end of the complex. But there are still plenty of revenue opportunities – fees and subsides – for all the domestic operators who still have product.

Exporting these human products back to origins would probably use, and enrich, the same operators currently providing intake, while further impoverishing the human products.

The border provides a root cause to enable the migrant industrial complex, but the rot goes far deeper, and all if it must be cured.

The people who are doing this to your community [i.e. Springfield, OH] are making a lot of money off of it.

Paul Ryan’s immigration plan

By

It is wrong for Obama to accuse Republicans of not having a plan to address illegal immigration.

From: The Way Forward: Renewing the American Idea, Paul Ryan

First, secure the border and enforce the laws we have on the books.

  • Institute an effective visa tracking program.
  • Institute an e-verify system for employers to electronically confirm an individual’s immigration status.
  • Institute a guest worker program for temporary and seasonal workers to perform jobs “not being filled by Americans.”
  • An independent third party must verify that the above border security and enforcement conditions have been successfully implemented.

Next, grant probationary legal status with specified conditions for undocumented immigrants.

  • an admission that they entered the country unlawfully
  • payment of a fine
  • payment of back taxes
  • a criminal background check
  • learn English and civics
  • must stay off any form of public assistance

After all the above have been satisfied, a probationary immigrant may leave probation and receive a non-immigrant work visa.

After another period of time, a holder of a non-immigrant work visa may get in line and apply for a green card.

Exceptions to the above:

  • Illegal immigrants brought here as children and who are now pursuing advanced degrees or serving in the military should have an accelerated path [to be determined] to legal citizenship.
  • Foreign students in STEM fields should be encouraged [to be determined] to remain in the U.S. after they complete their education.

ACLU Key Issues

By

From the ACLU 50-State Survey for January of 2012:

  • Access to abortion and birth control. [Must keep killing babies.]
  • Equal treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered. [Must treat those who display sexual preference the same as those who do not.]
  • Protection against racial profiling and discrimination by law enforcement. [Must not profile those most likely to commit terrorism.]
  • Equal access for eligible residents to vote. [As opposed to citizens.]
  • Non-preferential treatment of any one religion by the government. [Except Islam.]
  • Preventing the teaching of creationism and intelligent design from interfering with the teaching of evolution in public school science classes. [When government sanctions a theory it must be protected.  See global warming.]

Let’s see: infant death and dismemberment, sexual obsession, terrorism, illegal aliens, Sharia, spurious government science.  That’s an impressive series of harmful policies to rack up by one organization in one fund-raising mailer.  How did I get on this nutjob mailing list?  Yeah I’m going to send them a check, where’s my pen?

Thank you American law schools.

illegal immigration plan

Curing illegal immigration is a sequence.  Here’s my plan:

  1. Eliminate incentives. These two laws attract illegals from all over the world.

    • Congress must disallow anchor baby citizenship under the 14th Am.

    • Congress must repeal the unfunded health care mandate of EMTALA which requires all hospitals receiving federal funds to treat and stabilize without regard to ability to pay.

  2. Improve border security by all means appropriate for each geographical area.

  3. Empty prisons of all illegals — who comprise 20% of current populations. Send them back.

  4. End all affirmative action and tuition entitlements.

  5. Eliminate non-english language official publications from all government functions.

  6. After all the above, illegals who remain on a level playing field with Americans should be granted a path to citizenship or the option to leave.

  7. After a reasonable time frame when all the above is complete, strictly enforce citizenship credentials in the work place.

Incentives to illegals

By

In China, Thailand and Malaysia, people were uniformly incredulous that America offers free healthcare to illegal immigrants (EMTALA), that American hospitals will deliver babies of illegal immigrants for free, that those babies become newly minted American citizens at birth, that their citizenship provides an anchor to keep the rest of the family in America notwithstanding their illegal status, and that the left also wants to subsidize illegal immigrants with in-state college tuition.  Everyone we spoke to was well aware of these American policies, and of the incentive they provide to people all over the world to illegally immigrate to America.

Thomas Jefferson

"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself."

Aristotle

"Only an armed people can be truly free. Only an unarmed people can ever be enslaved."

Karl Popper

“A theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is nonscientific. Irrefutability is not a virtue of a theory (as people often think) but a vice.”
