Immigration Reform, Illegal Aliens and Terrorism

Illegal immigrants versus law-abiding migrations

I don't support illegal immigration nor we advocate for those aliens braking the laws. Period. Those who knowingly brake the laws are delinquents. They will keep that behavior or it will get worse -if the society doesn't enforce the laws- Law trespassers that are getting away easily, will keep trespassing other rules and conventions.

I believe this is not an issue related with general immigration policies -as every party want us to believe- but a specific political and bilateral problem. First, Mexicans don't believe in the border. They don't even believe the United States has nothing to do in those territories. For most of them, Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Nevada are rightfully Mexican territories given to the United States by corrupted governments. Mexicans don't migrate to other countries nor they have strong clusters outside the Western States. Second, Mexicans don't want nor they have an immigration policy towards people from Honduras, Guatemala or other countries in the region. It's easier for them to grant relatively secure and expedite pass for that people into the United States, transfering the problem and the burden associated with them. Recently threats by the Mexican government of lawsuits against border patrol measures only contribute to this theory. Not to mention that the U.S. government -backed by Corporate America- also confirms they are acting only for the polls and votes. They don't protest nor they answer those unacceptable statements from a foreign government, deliberately interfering with domestic affairs.

We have to separate the above mention individuals from the rest. They are not terrorists, they are not immigrants. They are illegal aliens with their own agenda. A program that has nothing to do with the American dream, the values of freedom, etc.

In next articles we will continue analyzing two more groups: refugees and those immigrants looking for the American dream and willing to join this society, aculturate and integrate. They represent the essence of what America is. They have our total support and we will always advocate for them.

Finally, we will explore a controversial subject. Immigration and terrorism. We strongly argue against naive approaches. Terrorism and Immigration are two separate things. You don't fight terrorism by fighting immigration. Most terrorists will either be American or citizens from close allied countries or will have perfectly fake American, British, Canadian passports. They won't make the lines in fron of an Embassy nor they will apply for visa extensions or change of status while in the U.S.
