BORDER BETRAYAL
Government
admits lying about jailed border agents
Inspector confronted on Capitol Hill, says promised 'proof' does
not exist
February 6, 2007
A Department of Homeland Security official
admitted today the agency misled Congress when it contended it
possessed investigative reports proving Border Patrol agents Ignacio
Ramos and Jose Compean confessed guilt and declared they "wanted
to shoot some Mexicans" prior to the incident that led to
their imprisonment.
The admission came during the testimony of
DHS Inspector General Richard L. Skinner before the Homeland Security
Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, according
to Michael Green, press secretary for Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas.
Culberson was questioning Skinner about a
meeting DHS officials had Sept. 26 with him and three other Republican
congressman from Texas, Reps. Ted Poe, Michael McCaul and Kenny
Marchant. Entire

"The
US is home to 23 million undocumented immigrant workers and their
families"
President
Bush's proposal lured greater numbers of illegal immigrants to
violate the law. Approximately 45% of respondents crossed illegally
based upon rumors of a Bush amnesty program.
The
Bush plan: There are jobs Americans simply won't do, so that the
importation of foreigners is essential.
Whether these
foreign workers are illegal aliens, guest workers, or permanent
legal immigrants is a detail to be worked out by us, the argument
goes, but our need for them is unchanged.
Even many
opponents of the proposed Bush Amnesty assume this to be true,
leading them to propose new and improved guest worker programs,
with provisions for stricter controls against permanent settlement,
greater incentives to return, tighter enforcement against unscrupulous
employers, etc.
As well-meaning
as such efforts may be, the basic assumption is false —
there is simply no economic reason to import foreign workers.
If the supply
of foreign workers were to dry up (say, through actually enforcing
the immigration law, for starters), employers would respond to
this new, tighter, labor market in two ways. One, they would offer
higher wages, increased benefits, and improved working conditions,
so as to recruit and retain people from the remaining pool of
workers. At the same time, the same employers would look for ways
to eliminate some of the jobs they now are having trouble filling.
The result would be a new equilibrium, with blue-collar workers
making somewhat better money, but each one of those workers being
more productive. read
