Saving America- Step 1

This is the first of a series of blogs designed to provide solutions to some of the most significant financial and social problems we face in the United States today. The problems are obvious and the suggested solution are, for the most part, simple and could easily be achieved if our political leaders had the will to implement them. In my soon to be published book, America In Decline, I point out the high price Americans are paying for illegal immigration, especially the immigration of low IQ illegal aliens from Mexico. Mexican illegal's are responsible for much of the crime in our large cities in the South and Southwest and the presence of their children in our schools is contributing significantly to the demise of our system of public education. The illegal's, 30 percent of whom are on welfare, also are significant drain of the countries' financial resources. In this respect we are paying a high price for the lettuce we buy at Walmart. Illegal immigration could be stopped in its tracks without building a single foot of new fence and without hireling an additional boarder agent! All that would have to be done to curb illegal immigration is to institute a National Identification Card (NIC) which clearly states that a person is a citizen of the United States and includes a picture of the card holder and their social security number. Without a NIC a person would not be allowed to work and would not be allowed to vote! To ensure the law is obeyed, employers who hire illegal's without an NIC should be fined or imprisoned. The size of the fines would reflect the size of the employers business enterprise. Repeat offenders, without exception, should be sent to prison. Similarly, counterfeiter's of NIC cards would receive equally severe punishment. Persons without a NIC should not be ineligible for any form of welfare including food stamps, housing aids, non emergency medical care and federal educational grants. Without such welfare it is highly likely that the vast majority of the illegal's in the United States would return to the country of their origin, in this case Mexico. Liberals will scream bloody murder while claiming that it would be discriminatory, and a violation of the equal rights amendment, to require blacks, especially those who are poor, illiterate or elderly, to obtain and show an NIC before they can vote. Have no doubt about it, we not talking about discrimination here! Rather, we are talking about the facilitation of voting fraud by the Al Sharpton's, Jessie Jackson's and Louis Farrakhan's of the world, nothing more, nothing less. The claim that a NIC card would impede blacks from voting, is a specious argument at best in twenty-first century America and brings to mind a encounter I witnessed recently at our local Sears department store in Concord California. I was in the checkout line behind an elderly black man who was in the process of purchasing a small item which cost around $15.00. This gentleman wanted to pay with his credit card and the clerk said that he would have to see an identification card before he could complete the transaction. Without the slightest hesitation the customer pulled out his wallet and showed the clerk his driver's license which had his picture on it. This took me somewhat by surprise because it appeared that this elderly person would have been too old to drive. Nonetheless, he had a drivers license with his picture on it, an NIC if you will, and the $15 transaction went off without a hitch. Now I ask you, if a person has to show a pictured identification card to make a $15 credit card purchase at Sears, is it unreasonable to ask him, or her, to do the same before they are allowed to vote or apply for a job? No, the specious arguments made by the liberals against a NIC is simply another of their endless attempts to facilitate illegal immigration and undermine the sanctity of the vote. In summary, the implementation of a NIC solves two of our most significant problems, illegal immigration and voting fraud. Unfortunately, this suggest will not see the light of day anytime soon because the liberals see illegal's as future members of the Democrat party and big business, especially agribusiness, views the illegal's as a cheap form of labor. In the next blog I will discuss ways to decrease the rate of crime in America.
