Illegal Immigration: Why the Gov't Looks the Other Way
The primary reason why the government is so lenient when
it comes to illegal immigration is because such a policy
allows for the availability of cheap goods and services
to the residents of this country. This is due to the fact
that illegals work for dirt cheap wages frequently below
the minimum wage level and without benefits.
The same pretty much holds true for the government's policy
regarding legal immigration. New immigrants are quite eager
to become established, and they are more than happy to accept
"competitive" wages that are well below the regular U.S. rates
and yet well above the wages that were available in the old
country.
Making goods available at cheap prices is also the objective
of trade alliances such as NAFTA and GATT, but why such a
reversal of past policy of protectionism and tariffs?
Well, if the standard of living slips in this country, then
the politicians will have hell to pay for it. In case you are
not aware of it, real wages in the U.S. have been declining
in recent decades, so to make up for this, the government
is substituting the availability of cheap goods and services,
BUT IN THE LONG RUN AMERICANS WILL HAVE NO JOBS AND NO
INCOMES WITH WHICH TO PURCHASE "CHEAP" GOODS AND SERVICES
as a direct result of these faulty, short-sighted policies.
What an expensive price to pay for "cheap" goods and
services!
Why, you may be asking, have wages been declining in the
U.S.? The answer goes back to government actions as they
pertain to government enforced wage equalization under
equal employment opportunity (EEO). No politician would
dare at this time to suggest the repeal of EEO, so for
politicians it is far more politically expedient and correct
to institute campaigns and policies for the infusion of
cheap, cheap, goods and services. Hmmm, let's recap a
little here: declining wages plus cheap prices for goods
and services; sure sounds like deflation to me! Deflation,
in case you are not aware, is reputed to have brought
down far more empires than inflation!! WOW!
If anyone would like a free email copy of the multipart
treatise on the downward wage equalizing effects of
equal employment opportunity, send a brief, one line request

Hurry while the penet remailer is still forwarding email
to the "na" form of addresses.
"Government enforced wage equalization will work only in
the downward direction" - despite any initial appearance to
the contrary! And the most shocking thing of all is that the
least preferred job candidate doesn't even have to be awarded
a job for many phenomena to take place!
