People will decide immigration issue

   This is in response to the April 9 article in The Sun headlined "Voters may decide how much power local police have to enforce immigration laws."

  The people will be the final solution to the illegal alien problem, whether it be an end to the limitless inflow of aliens or whether there will be an acceptance of the destabilizing effect of the endless inflow of humanity.

  The governing forces across the land have long since given up on enforcing any meaningful restriction on this inflow of aliens, which has reduced all areas of services to the American people, be it education, medical services or general safety of the streets.

  All these factors can be traced to economic greed or political longevity. The first should be alleviated through technological knowledge and the second by reducing the control government now exerts at every level of daily life.

  When industry surveys for its labor requirements, it looks in the most unlikely places the force will be found. College students in high-tech fields find the same problem. Technological employers claiming a lack of skilled employees turn to the manual labor markets for their surveys and when employees can’t be found, they turn to government for exemptions for hundreds of thousands of H 1-B visas for foreign workers at minimum wages.

  What started out as a few hundred has now reported be as many as 600,000 H 1-B jobs being transferred to foreign workers each year.

  Therefore, when legislators talk about not interfering with local communities protecting illegal immigrants, this is no more than political speak to preserve the status quo. Few legislators have an interest in these people, other than advancing their only political welfare.

  People will make a decision. Will it be to maintain our American work force and free enterprise system or continue down the road of one of the "isms"?
