Immigrant Effects, Part 1
The flood of Mexican illegal aliens across the United
States southern border is wanton, violent, continuous, and unchecked.
That is the truth. There is no "alternate" truth.
There are really only two ways illegals enter the
United States: by foot or by land motor vehicle.
You will note that air travel is not in that short
list because air travel is essentially not used by illegals to
enter the United States. Although even after 9-11, illegals have
the unmitigated gall to flock to airports and take commercial
aircraft to their destinations deep within America. You
might be nearly strip searched but illegal aliens seem immune
to capture. And, yes, the perpetrators of 9-11 did seem to take
airplanes. They also had student visas.. That has been
changed.
Also, note that boats are not on the list. There
are probably a hundred times more surf boards and even inner tubes
used to illegally float into the United States than real boats.
Boats are reserved for the most part for Chinese, Haitian, or
some other ocean crossing group.
Thanks to the very rational fear that some unidentified
ocean cruiser may contain a nuclear weapon targeted for an American
harbor, all of these unusual vessels are detected, tracked, intercepted,
and boarded hundreds or even thousands of miles away from our
shores. If it's big enough to get here from China then we've been
watching it.
Further, trying to enter the United States by boat
has some very interesting rules. If you can make it "un-captured"
to US dry land then you are handled differently than if you are
captured still in the water. And by "water" I mean the
high water mark. If you are still in the "water" then
you have not reached the US, and can be summarily be sent
away with not one nod from the courts. If you make it to a point
just above the high water mark -- dry land -- then all of the
various processes and procedures of the INS and the courts are
ready to help you stay here. If you are Cuban and reach this magical
high water mark then you have made it and no effort will be made
to deport you.
