THE POLITICAL-CORPORATE SYMBIOSIS

July 3, 2010

“The Political-Corporate Symbiosis” traces the nexus linking politics and business to ILLEGAL immigration. It speaks to the collaborative partnership between the world of politics and the corporate world—between the politician and the “captains of industry.” There is no doubt in this writer’s mind but that these separate entities are allied in a collusion of reciprocating abetment that is just short of a conspiracy. Nothing is more evidentiary of this than that millions of ILLEGAL immigrants are employed in America, but virtually no employer has faced any criminal prosecution therefrom.

The politician and the captains of industry have merged their intent to cash in on the opportunism that comes with the conflict of ILLEGAL immigration. They each seek enrichment from the gain to be derived from their joint exploitation of human misery. The politicians expect—eventually—to harvest a windfall of votes for their pro-amnesty support of ILLEGALS. The captains of industry expect to “save a bundle” by paying them the next-to-nothing wages of third-world serfs.

In grading the guilt of “trafficking” in ILLEGAL immigrants, the political element is the more culpable. It is the politician, after all, who delivers the ILLEGALS to the employer as “cheap labor.” But even more egregious, it is our political leaders’ DELIBERATE REFUSAL to enforce our immigration laws that lures ILLEGALS to steal into America over the welcome-mat of our open border. Having enticed millions of ILLEGALS to breach our border and establish squatterdom in this country, the politicians who lured them here are advocating that they be allowed to stay here. They moralize that granting “amnesty” to the ILLEGALS will show America’s “humanity” to the world, but that sending them back to Mexico will be seen as an act of “cruel and unusual punishment.” Rubbish!!

All such appeals are facades covering over a very ugly ulterior motive. Amnesty is NOT about showcasing America’s “humanity.” Rather, it is about a political party trying to harvest a windfall of 12 to 30 million votes. It is about comprehensive immigration reformers trying to parlay their hands-off-the-border policy into political power. It is about selling off America’s sovereignty to the jurisdiction of foreign dominion.

In the interest of “full disclosure,” I confess that I am saturated with admiration for Arizona’s Governor, Janet Brewer. Her tough ILLEGAL immigration bill was preceded by many urgent appeals to the Department of Homeland Security to help stop the crush of ILLEGALS multiplying in her state—but to no avail. So, the governor threw down the gauntlet—SB1070—at the feet of the federal government. Her action was imperative and overdue.

Yet, the instant Governor Brewer affixed her signature to the bill, she was speckled, so to speak, with little bright-red cross-hair dots. Every advocate for “comprehensive immigration reform” began taking political potshots at her. President Obama belittled her as “misguided.” Rep. Linda Sanchez, Whittier, California, alleges that she is a “racist” with membership in some “white supremacist group.” The Democratic Party was even accepting of a visiting foreigner, Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon, vilifying Governor Brewer from the podium of Congress. The Democrats were very pleased with Calderon’s rebuke of the Governor. They approved his comments with a standing ovation and thunderous applause! Go figure?

You know that our conscientious Attorney General, Eric Holder, answered “No” when asked, “Did you read the bill?” Most of us everyday Americans would have been mortified with embarrassment if we had to make such a public acknowledgement, but not Mr. Holder. His self-indicting admission did not influence him to question the ethics of filing a lawsuit against a bill he had not read. But they don’t read bills in Washington anymore, do they?

For years, administration after administration has refused to enforce our immigration laws against an invasive horde of ILLEGAL immigrants spreading out over the land and seeding themselves into America’s political soil. Their ever-growing presence is the cause of Arizona’s law and order crisis and the reason for SB1070. Given these facts, it defies credulity that the federal government would seek to criminalize Arizona’s right to defend itself. If the federal lawsuit being brought to bear against the bill prevails, forget “sanctuary cities,” the Obama administration will compel Arizona to become the country’s first SANCTUARY STATE!

I implore every reader of this opinion to keep in mind that our ILLEGAL immigration problem—now crisis-size—was once very much smaller. The problem grew to society-threatening proportion because our political leaders exploited it as a cheap means of amassing political power. They have indulged their political greediness at our expense. By refusing to secure the border, they have imposed upon us a forced-cohabitation with a population of ILLEGAL immigrants that could have and should have been turned back at the border. Remember this when you enter the voting booth in November.
