Illegal Immigration and Politics

There simply is not an illegal immigration problem. Nor is the problem is solely one of political ideology. Rather, it is a legal problem. Take, for example, the position that the United States is a sovereign country with the obligation to protect its citizens from ‘external threats’ as described in the US constitution.. Include in the idea of ‘external threats’ a decrease in individual citizen’s physical security, invasion, and economic loss to citizens and US businesses.

Next ask the question, “Does illegal immigration constitute an ‘external threat’?”

This question devolves to each of it’s components:

Component	Situation	Threat
A decrease in individual citizen’s physical security	There has been an increase in murders, sex crimes, and physical assault against US citizens directly proportional to the number of illegal immigrants	Yes
Invasion	There are, by most accounts, over 10 million citizens of other countries in the US with out the permission of the US government and in violation of US laws. This is an invasion.	Yes
Economic loss to citizens	Wages in jobs filled my illegals are static or lower than prior to the invasion. This is an economic to US citizens in these and related jobs. US citizens cannot work for these wages while paying taxes, FICA, and meeting other requirements of employed legal residents.	Yes
Economic loss to US Businesses	Some US businesses competing in international trade acquire a competitive advantage through lower wages. In the long run, taxes must increase to support the unfunded social services required by illegals. Other businesses facing increased shrinkage, poor quality workmanship, increased security requirements, on-the-job language issues, labor disputes, and dissatisfied citizen employees face immediate financial burdens	No/Yes

A reasonable person would look at the above table and conclude that the United States is indeed experiencing an “external threat.”

Therefore, it is the responsibility of the Federal government under the Constitution to take all possible measures to eliminate this threat. To the extent that the Federal government fails to perform this duty as required by the constitution, federal officers, judges, and elected representatives are guilty of violation of their oath of office. All such officials, judges, and elected representatives should be impeached. This is not a political or ideological issue but rather a legal issue.
