What about the Mexican invasion?

Yes, what about it?

Our president has made it known that he is disposed in the direction of amnesty for the Mexicans who have already entered this country illegally. Since the Congress has shown little or no inclination to stop it, it can reasonably be assumed that there is no objection to amnesty from that quarter.

So what comes next?

After amnesty, it can also be reasonably assumed that these people will be treated much the same as legal immigrants, and that taxpayer monies will be used to help them get settled!

So what comes next?

Legally, they will have no voting status, yet each party would like to claim them as its own. To effectively do this, the Democrats, who now control both houses of Congress, will want to next revise the laws of the land such that they can have the right to citizenship and the vote much sooner than the current law allows, and will begin moving in that direction. It is also probable that the president will not want to go on record as having used his power of veto to keep this from happening. The Republicans in Congress will be divided, adding to the very favorable movement in the direction of changing the law, but the Democrats will go down in history as having first advocated the change. Whenever that change occurs, the Democrats will make political hay, assuring these new citizens that they were responsible for their new voting status,
the Republicans will claim that it was their idea in the first place, and a great many votes will be placed on the block for whichever party is most convincing.

It is well, now, for the reader to remember that an important part of the rather lengthy time period that new immigrants must wait prior to being allowed to vote, was placed there in order to give the prospective new citizens time to learn our language, something of our history, and the fundamentals of the way our government works. If they are made citizens too soon, and especially true in the case of the huge numbers of immigrants involved, the effect will be that this particular bloc of new citizens, many of whom will not speak our language, and will know little about our history, will be more easily manipulated by clever talking politicians, thus assuring that we will have a Congress of even more inept membership and cupidity than is presently the case.

Dear reader, that is a thumbnail sketch of what can be expected in the next few years. Our leaders, our employees that we will have voted into office, will be devoting more of their time to jockeying for favorable times to introduce new legislation to secure the vote for these uninvited immigrants that to the business of running our country, which should be their primary interest!

So what comes next?

You, dear reader, come next! You will need to be ever alert to what is really going on in Congress, rather than what appears to be going on! If this all develops into the power play that I have just described, you will need to use your vote wisely to maintain a balance of sanity in our government!

Think about it!
