Squatter, Slave, or Property Owner?
Lee Emmerich Jamison
Imagine that a man decides to trespass on my property. He sets up shop though he has no right to be there. I don't want him to stay, but law enforcement authorities refuse to make him leave. Some in my family even disagree with me. After all the man will do chores they want done even if they are not willing to pay a living wage for those chores. Why should we not take advantage of him if he is willing to be exploited?
As time goes by more of the man’s kin come to live at my place. I hear rumors about their intentions toward my home once their numbers have grown large enough, but these are widely discounted both by the lawmen and my exploitative relations. There is no question, though, that these people feel no particular loyalty to me for not having pressed harder to protect what is mine by law. Lately they have shown something approaching contempt for my right to decide how I should use or protect my own property. Now they are so sure of my kinfolk’s dependence on their willingness to do chores on the cheap that they threaten to go on strike periodically if they are not given some rights to my home.
If someone were to do this with your home you would be outraged. No one would fail to protect their individual property. Most people are even clever enough to try, at least, to protect their commercial property. Unfortunately for two generations the nature of citizenship has been so abysmally taught in this country that our countrymen fail to see the clear parallel in the immigration debate.
Framed as it is in the festering rhetorical stew of both class conflict and greedy exploitation the immigration debate has been a fiasco of misdirected attention. The political left wants a large class of pliable, ignorant pawns that can be kept aware of their disadvantaged station in life so that as they become politically empowered they will restore socialist ideals to the ascendancy in the United States (as this same population is doing in Central and South America). Though no other nation on earth save Canada has looser immigration standards than the United States these people propose that it is morally wrong for us to restrict our hard-won political stability and economic power to our own people.
Contrasted with this and, ironically, augmenting it, major industries, seduced by the siren call of something akin to a slave labor force subsidized by taxpayer-financed indigent medical care and schools, cry that this labor force is vital to our prosperity. This argument persists though it can be demonstrated that wage competition from a population devoid of political legitimacy has tremendously enlarged the gap between rich and poor in the years since 1960.
Side arguments despair at the difficulty of dealing with the maze of bureaucratic problems facing those who wish to enter the country legally, an issue that would disappear in a heartbeat if politicians from both parties felt illegal immigration harmed them, and families that could be torn apart if illegals were deported. This latter should not be an issue at all. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution qualifies the granting of citizenship to those born in the U.S. with the phrase- “…and under the jurisdiction thereof…” Those who wrote the phrase said they intended it to mean that the children of foreign nationals would be excluded from automatic citizenship, a point they magnified with their attention to excluding American-born Indians from such rights.
Citizenship is a property, as real a part of your heritage as a child of American citizens as your claim to the car you drive or the clothes you wear. Indeed the security of your deed to any piece of property is founded in your resolve to preserve and defend your first and foremost property right- your political voice and power as a citizen. Your grip on this property right is badly eroded by winking at the exploitation of a virtual slave class for petty material gain.
Legal immigration is good for America. It brings us a deep resource of people committed to human freedom. The perpetuation of illegal immigration and residency is a bargain with Satan. Illegal residents are a true oppressed people, exploited for their illegitimacy on the one hand and for their resentment on the other. The immorality is not in their presence here. It is in the fact that people in power saw them as more useful in a state of powerless limbo than as legal productive contributors to society.
Those who preserve that state of affairs, and President Bush is among them, have perpetuated an unmitigated evil.
