From the start, the federal goverment has ALWAYS planned to legalize the Illegals

Legalizing the Illegals – That was ALWAYS The Plan 

By James Terminiello 

Yup, they are illegal no matter what delicate and inaccurate term you wish to use. Yup, they are coming in droves.  And yup, the efforts to stop them are intentionally bumbling and bound to fail. 

Why? 

The PROs 

It is obvious that the plan is and has always been to eventually legalize them. 

Here is the fiction the government wants you to believe: 

  1. 1) Illegal immigrants contribute to lower prices of US-produced goods and services which benefits all consumers  

  1. 2) Legalization is also likely to reduce untaxed labor in the informal economy 

  1. 3) Illegals will revitalize old homes and empty communities and start new businesses  

  1. 4) Their fecundity will increase our flagging birth rate 

  1. 5) Illegals help fulfill our Diversity Equity and Inclusion goals 

  1. 6) Illegals grease the wheels of the labor market by flowing into industries and areas where there is a relative need for workers  


There is a lot more of this federal succotash out there and you can choose to believe it. Whether you do or not, what you should also weigh in the balance is the cost. It is considerable and there does not seem to be one single resource that can even give you a ballpark estimate. (I wonder why?) But that cost MUST include such insignificant factors as: 

The CONS 

  1. Food 

  1. Clothing 

  1. Medicine 

  1. Shelter 

  1. Police protection (going both ways) 

  1. Transportation 

  2. Phone

  1. Education 

  1. Heat/cooling 

  1. Legal services 

  1. Federal processing   


The PROS I’ve detailed are all potential. The CONS I’ve listed above are hard core, very real, and undeniable.  

The cost of the CONS must come from somewhere and I can tell you that it is the American citizens – the rich, the poor, the old, AND the disabled who are paying for it.  And we will be compelled to dig deeper. 

Remember these words: At some point the federal government will say: “They’re here. They’ve taken root. They are part of our society. We may as well make them legal.”  

As the French say: fait accompli. 

And you paid the price!

The October 7 attack was inevitable

  Why was  October 7 inevitable ?   One word: Extortion By James Terminiello     It’s difficult now but if you run a web search to find images of the Gaza Str i p before the current war , you w ould encounter a  place of wrenching poverty ; decay ; and , until recently , qui e t despair .     As an economic entity Gaza could not and did not operate without funds injected from many sources including the U.S., some Arab nations, and, yes, Israel. Naturally, as with all aid from afar, too much of it finds its way into the wrong pockets most of the time. As a place to live Gaza practically stewed in depression which easily and naturally turns into envy and fury - particularly when you see other nations prospering on your mobile device.     Isr ael’s forlorn hope was that if you lined the pockets of Hamas and other minor semi-political, semi-military, semi-religious organizations with extortion money they would slurp up the cream and use the meager rest to keep the popul

Migrants and Medicaid - Someone is going to pay the price

Migrants and Medicaid – The Not-So-Hidden Costly Consequences     By James Terminiello     Full disclosure first: I have a 35-year-old son, permanently disabled at age 3, who receives Medicaid... for the moment.     Following a toss-the-baby-out-with-the-bathwater strategy, the federal government is revisiting all those on Medicaid as part of the “unwinding of the Medicaid continuous enrollment program” that extended coverage to a considerable swath of people during the pandemic. (1) The fact that my son and many others like him qualified for and received Medicaid years before COVID-19 reared its ugly head seems to be of little relevance. And bureaucracies being the glacially swift entities that they are, my son’s coverage could potentially slip away long before they review his case – which , by the way, is designated with an ominously long ten-digit number.     Running concurrent with this impending slow-motion trainwreck is a national push to extend Medicaid coverage to the ongoi

Yuletide Don'ts from The Ghost of Christmas Past

  Warnings from the Ghost of Christmas Past     By G. C. Past      I am the Ghost of Christmas Past and I manifest each year at this time to give warning to those who commit unpardonable seasonal transgressions that a more forgiving deity might, and I say might , overlook.      Hear me and reform, lest I haunt you to your air-parched, terminal breath.      Place not on thy innocent lawn those hideous inflatable yuletide decorations. When the blessed sun doth crack the dawn, they deflate and resemble crime scene pools of blood and smashed egg yolks . In short, they infect the eyes! Away with them!     Gift not the decorative wine stopper for it shall be abandoned with lightening haste in early January at your local thrift shop. Many pine away on haunted shelves at this very moment subject to their latest, and not last, re-gifting. Know well that those w ho drink deep of the fermented grape drain each soldier to the last and need not save even a dribble of the dregs for future imbibing.
