The words illegal immigrants define people who are officially in this Country without legitimate authorization and who have crossed over our boundaries of criminology. In the same light undocumented reference is intended to reflect the chaos and confusion associated with such criminology. Thus, the line between legal and illegal is thin and squiggly, and at best any idea of officially incorporating the two circumstances into a roadmap to U.S. citizenship is the equivalent of the Government officially granting a form of amnesty to criminals, which may open a can of worms that could completely infect our current criminal justice system with dire consequences of irreversible imperfection. From that point on how can there ever be a set standard by which to determine any legality, in a situation that began illegally?
Just as legalizing smoking pretty much destroyed America's health system, legalizing illegal immigrants may overwhelm the already stretched to the limit criminal justice system with civil and felony crimes, motor vehicle offenses and domestic disputes. At the time no one anticipated the extremely adverse effect smoking would have on America's healthcare over the years. Current statistics show that more than one hundred thousand people die each year from second hand cigarette smoke. And another one hundred thousand suffer from smoking related diseases at a staggering healthcare expense on the economy.
Smokers addicted to nicotine are hardcore liars who will do just about anything to continue their smoking habit; including outright pretending they don't know that their second hand smoke effects everyone around them from anywhere between fifteen and twenty-five cubic feet of air space. They have no consideration for their own children let alone other people's children or their supposed loved pets. In essence smokers are worse than illegal drug users. Unlike smokers, at least illegal substance abusers go off into their own little world and pollute themselves. In addition, smoking is the common link to most people going on to illegal drug abuse.
Using smoking as an example in which many people experiment with harsher drugs, it would only be a matter of time before amnesty granted illegal immigrants tire of doing the job Americans supposedly don't want to do, and begin competing with Americans for higher paying more prestigious jobs. As well, using smoking as a learning experience, it is inevitable that amnesty granted illegal immigrants will have a devastating effect on America's economy costing far more than their worth when it comes to healthcare, education, social services, pregnancies, housing and unforeseen mishaps.
One unforeseen mishap is that it would only be a matter of time before hardcore criminals behind bars begin using illegal immigrant amnesty laws to challenge the criminal justice system keeping them behind bars. After all, how can the law grant amnesty for whatever reason to people who are not even citizens of this country without granting some sort of amnesty to its own criminals who are behind bars for illegality? In my opinion immigration is not the answer to America's work force problem. Instead, why not kill two birds with one stone: Alleviate the overcrowding costs of America's prisons, by developing and supervising sentence reduction and early release work incentive programs for non-violent prisoners in exchange for them doing the jobs Americans supposedly don't want to do as opposed to amnesty immigration?
