A La Raza Spokesman, Working His Magic

To revisit the age old denunciation of the contentious utilization of economics, there are lies, damn lies and statistics.

All of which can be found in plenitudinous supply in the demands of those illegally in our midst, as well as those here with benefit of citizenship who insist on cheapening its value by making it but one of many pleasant alternatives from which to choose whilst enjoying the copious beneficence of (selective) American societal involvement.

The myriad spokesman for la raza de la nuevo dia (much to Jesse Jackson's chagrin; and just try to gather a gaggle of Caucasians under the banner of "The Race" and see how far it gets you) are all on the same talking points página. And it is a foliation chock full of false statements.

You have heard the incessant recitation of the reasons why we should simply roll over yet again and cede further to the illicit twelve(?) million that have already run it in. That our government has been thus far decidedly lax in this regard is proffered by those dealing from the bottom of the racial deck as a de facto demand for said slackness in perpetuity, for it would be unfair to today's invader that yesterday's might have had an easier go of it.

We are also told that the citizens, especially those who reside along the brim, who have been paying the egregious price for this indulgence, who have been doing much more than the merely nothing their republic has in this regard, and whose screams of bloody murder have been continually ignored by said electoral Leviathan, are racist, bigoted and xenophobic for wishing to stop the border hemorrhaging before even considering taking our crimsoned clothing to the "guest worker" cleaners.

We will ignore the patently fatuous (the aforementioned lubricious posit that those opposed are simply and exclusively anti-Hispanic), and instead focus on the slightly less shallow assertions on proffer from the anti-rule of law, anti-sovereignty coalition.

1. Illegal aliens do work Americans will not do, or We are at full employment, and need the illegal aliens.

It Can Be Done

You have heard at various times both of these two contradictory cogitations, the choosing predicated upon whichever is more disingenuously expedient at the given moment.

Either there are a slate of jobs actual citizens will not fill, and we therefore need to import uneducated social service sponges (and they are, please see below), or we are at "full employment" and can not dispatch the illegals amongst us lest the nation's economy collapse.

It is an impressive feat that these two diametrically opposed positions are both patently false.

The base nausea inducement of the concept that anyone amongst the unemployed would find any task beneath their standards aside, the fact of the matter is we are paying them (via welfare) to do NOTHING. Why, then, would they instead seek situations in which they would only receive muneration predicated on their doing SOMETHING?

The human animal is not that tough a nut to crack; the path of least resistance will always be the one chosen. Of anything you subsidize, you will get more, and we have been subsidizing sloth for seven decades. It should not be a galloping shock that after seventy years of lay-about compensation, those now practiced in the art will not suddenly choose to no longer lay-about.

To address the converse, "full employment" is an economics term; it does not actually mean what it says. It does not speak to NO unemployment, it speaks of LOW unemployment. In actuality, we are currently at 4.7% joblessness, which means roughly 8.5 million working age American citizens (representing those between the ages of 16 and 65) are currently bereft of gigs (many of these make up the aforementioned artificially, governmentally created underclass).

Let us take the conservative estimate (what other kind would we?) of twelve million illegal aliens currently here. Given the aggregates of any considered population, those between the ages of 16 and 65 total just over 8 million.

The Welfare Treadmill

So if we were to totally divest ourselves of those here in breach of border, and halt payments to those legally among us who insist on collecting something for nothing, we would turn the broad generalization of "full employment" into a much more specific reality.

We would also very quickly see a drastic diminishment in the number of jobs this latter group "will not do". To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, nothing focuses the mind like hunger.

In short, we do NOT need the illicits in order to function. In actuality, they are an economic anchor, rather than the collective life preserver they are purported to be.
