Suggested Immigration Laws

Immigrant rights groups love to hammer on the cruel, horrible, inhuman immigration policies (such as they are) in the United States. But are they really that bad? To put things in perspective, check out this list of immigration laws:

1. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools, no special ballots for elections, and all government business will be conducted in our language.
2. Foreigners will NOT have the right to vote, no matter how long they are here.
3. Foreigners will NEVER be able to hold political office.
4. Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food stamps, no health care, nor any other government assistance programs.
5. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.
6. If foreigners do come and want to buy land that will be okay, BUT options will be restricted. You are not allowed to own waterfront property. That property is reserved for citizens naturally born into this country.
7. Foreigners may not protest; no demonstrations, no waving a foreign flag, no political organizing, no "bad-mouthing" our president or his policies If you do you will be sent home.
8. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be hunted down and sent straight to jail.

What do you think? How do these laws compare with what we've currently got in America? Yeah, they're a lot tougher, aren't they? Guess what?

These are the immigration laws of Mexico.

Wouldn't it be great to implement this exact set of laws here? We'd accomplish two things: 1.) real immigration reform, and 2.) it would silence critics. After all, if these laws are fine for Mexico, they should be fine for America, right?

There's my two cents.
