Video: Illegals Get Taken For A Ride

Depending where you sit on the moral spectrum this video will either be one of the funniest videos you've ever seen, or one of the worst.

In the video, an American white male in a pickup truck drives to a place where Mexicans hang out waiting for work. The man tells about six Mexicans that he has work for them at his house to build a deck. They are all too eager. They get in the back of his truck, and off they go, but not to the man's house. After several speed bumps at high speed, and some swerving back and forth, the man pulls up to the L.A. County Immigration Office! He gets out and starts blowing a whistle and yelling "La Migra - Immigration." The Mexicans furiously scatter in all directions. The man falls down laughing and later says he does this about every three weeks for population control, etc.

But what can the Mexicans do? Call the police? No, which illustrates a point about immigration. Many Americans on the Left believe that the compassionate thing to do is let Mexicans illegally come to America so that the Mexicans can find a better life. Unfortunately for the Mexicans, their illegal status often puts them in compromising situations. Some are forced to crime, and some fall victim to crime. (So in actuality, immigration control done in a legal way could actually help the plights of Mexicans overall.

On a related subject, did you see the report on the birth rate for immigrant mothers - 23 percent?! That means that nearly one out of every four births is by an immigrant mother. This trend has huge implications for both the immigrants and and the nation as a whole. See this Seattle Times story for more on the subject.

On a side note, I'm getting sick and tired of immigration advocates saying that Americans are hypocrites to call for immigration control, when this nation was built by immigrants. There is a big difference today. Back in the early 1900s during the last time immigration peaked, the immigration was legal. Immigrants came to this country legally in most cases, and were processed through formal channels such as existed at Ellis Island. Today's illegal immigration is just that - illegal. America doesn't have a sign out that says help wanted. Today, we have signs and laws that say stay out. That is the law. That is the crux of the laws of this land.

Here at MilitarySpot.com, we are for a measured, practical and legal approach to immigration and foreign workers. America does need some of these workers, but a process needs to be put in place that allows this to happen in a way that protects both the workers and the nation. We don't need a "run for the border" mentality that has hundreds of thousands of Mexicans sneaking across our borders.

But there's another angle that will make illegal immigration control legislation hard to come by. Simply put, this mass illegal immigration is fueling economic growth, and the current administration know this and relies on this for economic statistics. To give you an example of how this works, I will use the example of my suburb near Dallas.

Dallas is being inundated by illegals. They are turning entire sections of Dallas into barrios. There are so many Mexicans in Dallas that they are spilling over into the suburbs - Irving, Garland, and Mesquite (my suburb) to name a few. As these Mexicans (many illegal) move into the suburbs, many Americans move out. In Mesquite, entire sections of the suburb are becoming barrios. Many Mesquite Americans are moving to the next town down the highway - Forney, Texas. Forney is the new Mesquite, and is experiencing a huge home-building boom, and the related development that goes with it. The same thing is happening across the Southwest, unfortunately.
