The upside of the downside

Hey Obama! Want real stimulus? Hire 2 million unemployed verified American Citizens at $20/hr as Border Patrol Deputies, and start rounding up the illegals. And throw them out. No anchor babies, no nada. And it sure as hell can be done, and quickly too. Fill up the trains and drive them to the border. Empty. Repeat. 10 million illegals could be deported inside 3 months. Then all the jobs that they were doing are now available for unemployed Americans to do. Those that aren’t now guarding the border that is. Market forces will very quickly set a fair wage point for the jobs that they had been doing. And if that causes some businesses to collapse ... well tough shit. Any business plan that requires a labor force paid below market to survive is a failed plan. Get 20 million illegals out of the US and we suddenly have 0% unemployment. And our health care costs just dropped 25%. Secure the borders and the drug trade dries up right quick too.

2 million people working at $20/hour is $1.6 billion per week. $83.2 billion per year. Call it a 4 year contract, and you’ve spent $333.8 billion, rebuilt the lower middle class, and provided more than 10 million jobs for the working poor.

Mass starvation in Mexico? Not my country’s problem.

Meanwhile, back at CNN:

Bad economy forcing immigrants to reconsider U.S.

Pedro Pablo slowly folds up his American flag blanket and stuffs it in his duffel bag. With it goes his American dream.

“I left my family and lost four years with them. I will ask them to forgive me,” he said.

Pablo is an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who came to the United States to support his wife and five sons back home. When he arrived, construction jobs were plentiful. Over the last year, he says, he’s worked three days.

He recently boarded a bus with a one-way ticket home, paid for by the Guatemalan consulate in Los Angeles. “I thought I could get ahead here. I regret coming.”

Across the United States, tens of thousands of immigrants—those here legally and illegally—are facing a similar dilemma: Do they continue to search for jobs in a struggling U.S. economy or return home to an even bleaker economic situation?

Hey, it’s them or us. Period. And they’re breaking the law being here, and they’ve been draining the system dry for decades. Are you ready to face the real reality of global depression? It should be obvious. Poor people are going to die. All over the world. By the millions. Those who can live off the land will survive. Those who are living off of the government will die. Period. That’s an ugly thing to face, but it’s the truth. We’re the country having fewer and fewer children to make ends meet. Pedro has 5 kids already. Probably 7 by the time he gets home.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
