Immigration Issues

Suppose I had a home with a large backyard with a lot line that borders Mexico. One day I am standing at the edge of my yard, one foot from the Mexican border, and Juan is standing in his country, Mexico, two feet from me. Juan tells me he will cut my yard grass for a fee. Juan has no visa or work permit from our Federal Government. Should I be allowed to have Juan cut my grass for a fee? Should two people be allowed to enter into a free and voluntary exchange of goods and services?

The immigration problem started decades ago when the U. S. Federal Government started providing goods and services for "free". The Federal Government, with the support of the medical and hospital industry, requires any hospital that has an emergency room to treat anyone who shows up for treatment. Free food, free education, free shelter,etc. Free stuff attracts people. Somehow we think it is O. K. for a person in this country to force you, through the ballot box, to give them something, but it is not O. K. for a poor Mexican to receive something of yours for free. Either way, when the "government" gives someone something of yours, they use force to take it from you.

Even though the federal government polices have all eventually resulted in failure and loss of freedom, we continue to ask more from the Federal Government. It is obvious that many people are controlling, but, why do so many people want to be controlled? We seem to treat the Federal Government the way a biased mother treats a son who has never held a steady job and is always in trouble with the law. The mother insists her son is a "good boy". We continue to insist a government that operates only by force and aggression is a good organization.

We are all manipulated at one time or another, by an individual, or an organization. When Bud L and I were flying those horrible DC-8 schedules of night cargo and charter in the 70s, I was going through a divorce. I showed Bud a book by Esther Vilar, The Manipulated Man, http://tinyurl.com/z2bp4 After reading the book Bud made an interesting comment which was, "What if I like being manipulated"? If one could see Bud's beautiful wife Carol, one would understand why Bud enjoys being manipulated by her! But why do so many people allow themselves to be manipulated by Kings, Imams, Popes, Rabbis, and con men?

Maybe we should invade Mexico and establish a real free market Republic that would create jobs and an economy that would keep the Mexicans at home. After all, the regime in Mexico has not provided for the poor and oppressed. This Mexican regime is a threat to our culture and national security. Any terrorists can land on the shores of Mexico with a dirty bomb and move it across our border. BOOM!

Six billion people can live in the state of Texas and each person would have over 1100 square feet of land. I can't wait until all the Mexicans move to the United States. When that happens I'm moving to Cabo San Lucas!
