Comments: ‘Statelessness and human rights’

Dec, 14, p. 8

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaimed in Article 14 that everyone has the right to seek and enjoy another country’s asylum from persecution.

In Article 15, it declared that everyone has the right to a nationality and no one should be arbitrarily deprived of their nationality, or denied the right to change it. (By Jennie S. Bev, San Francisco)


Your comments:

Although the 1986 amnesty resulted in 2.7 million illegal immigrants becoming legalized, over 10 million were actually legalized after they brought their extended families over.

The 1986 Act was not enforced, illegal immigration exploded out of control. So here we are again with plans to pass another giant amnesty for 12-20 million illegal aliens and their extended families, another 48-80 million.

Why would Obama and Congress want to makes things even worse on America’s 14.5 million unemployed? The administration could easily create 7.5 million jobs in manufacturing, construction and service industries simply by enforcing the existing immigration laws.

A side benefit would be to return the 7.5 million SSN’s being used fraudulently by illegal aliens to their rightful owners. Those who come here illegally, steal our IDs and ignore our laws have already demonstrated they lack the honesty and decency to ever become American citizens. a.) Enforce the existing immigration laws. b.) Secure the border. c.) Don’t hire illegal aliens. d.) No anchor babies. e.) Deportation through attrition.
