Dear immigrants: Thanks for the march, now go back to work

May 2, 2006 by William K. Wolfrum 

That immigration became an important issue this year was somewhat surprising, but likely unavoidable due to public clamoring and it being an election year.

The thing is, however, it is now more or less officially done as an issue. Congressmen have frothed, people have marched, the issue is done, nothing will happen.

Personally, I don’t believe anything will ever happen in regards to illegal immigrants into the U.S. There will always be a considerable side who will refuse to allow illegal immigrants anything except expulsion. And as long as it is unfeasible to eject all the illegals and as long as our politicians are beholden to Big Business, the issue will remain stalemated.

Because it’s not like either side of the U.S. government really wants to see any legislation passed on illegal immigration. It’s an election year, and people are getting their election-year quotes in line, and where they publicly stood on the immigration issue will count.

And when all is said and done in regards to immigration, nothing will have happened.
