Let's Make A Deal

Last night on talk radio, Peter Wiesback was substituting for Michael Savage when he proposed exactly the same idea as my "See Jose Work" printed in this blog on April 17, 2006. (It also appeared in "Liberty Magazine" and "The Idaho Observer," and was read on air by Bryan Hyde on radio station KSUV.) Wiesback explained that illegal immigration has been allowed to progress almost unlimited - on purpose. He claimed that Social Security absolutely requires a steady increase in the number of paying members for it to sustain solvency. The falling birth rate portends a reduction in contributions to the retirement fund. Massive immigration helps to correct the imbalance.

So true!

Congress is considering the provisions of a bill to solve the illegal immigrants problem. Amnesty or "guest worker amnesty" might be granted to as many as 20 million aliens. Then there is the wall which might be built at a cost of $2 billion for 700 miles or $6 billion for 2,000 miles. The matter is one of contention and uncertainty. A compromise is sought by the political animals of Washington, DC. One Congressman suggested that the public submit ideas for Congress to consider.

Okay, Congress, think about this: Give Texas to Mexico in exchange for Mexico's assistance in stopping future illegal entries into the United States. But all illegals here now must stay and pay taxes to the IRS and Social Security. We must not let them get away! They can become citizens and speak any language they choose.

In simple terms, Mexico can have Texas if Mexicans will just stay home from now on. Sure, we'll miss Texas, but that's a small price to pay for this win/win compromise.

Oh, there's one exception. The deal doesn't include include Luckenbach. They can't have Luckenbach, Texas - the country music capital of the cosmos.
