Not very many people have made the connection, but I believe that Legal
Abortion in America is at least partially to blame for the human flood
of Illegal Immigration streaming daily across our borders. Some will
immediately dismiss this suggested linkage as being too far-fetched and
preposterous - but before rejecting the idea, let's take a look at
some interesting numbers.
The reason you say that is even you know it is crazy.
In 1973, the year that the notorious Roe v Wade decision became the law
of the land, American women legally murdered 615,831 innocent unborn
children.
Legally murdered? How do you do that? If you want people to buy your
argument, you should cut back on the rhetoric.
The grisly toll rose year by year, until by 1982 the number
of annual abortions had doubled, reaching almost 1,304,000. Of course,
these are the documented deaths, they fail to include the additional
thousands of babies murdered outside the medical realm.
And then it went down under President Bill Clinton - but it is back up
again under Bush.
According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control, the first
eleven years of legal abortions in America killed about 11.9 million
babies (from 1973 to 1983). If those aborted children had lived and
grown to adulthood, their median age today would be 30.5 years old.
And these unwated children would be out commiting crimes or living off
welfare, statisically thinking.
Now, the number of estimated illegal immigrants in the U.S.A. ranges
from 10.3 million to 15 million; so add these two numbers together and
divide by two, and you get about 12.5 million as a pretty close
guesstimate of how many illegal workers, mostly Mexican, are now in
America.
I get it - we could have had the unwanted children picking tomatoes.
Is this mere coincidence, or is there some direct correlation between
those two numbers, 11.9 million and 12.5 million? I think it is both.
That is laughable.
Without question, at least part of the reason why we have illegal
immigrants crossing our borders in droves is because there is a need
for more cheap laborers in the fields and factories of America. It is a
simple economic proposition: increased demand creates its own supply.
So you feel we should force women to give birth to lower the cost of
labor? How Republican of you!
In fact, these same feminist-inspired demographic trends have resulted
in 34 million women joining the workforce between 1970 and 2000, during
a time when American birth rates dropped from 18.4 to 13.9 per
thousand. The new addition of these women to the workforce has helped
to mask the growing demand for labor during a time of explosive
economic expansion, "from 5.03 trillion in 1970 to 11.75 trillion in
2004 as measured in 2005 dollars," as WorldNetDaily columnist Vox Day
brilliantly pointed out in his August 15 column entitled "Girls just
want to have fun."
Look at it this way. If all these women are home, barefoot and
pregnant, they aren't working so your argument goes down the tubes.
Being pregnant reduces the workforce.
Day also warned that the American birth rate has fallen "by 25
percent to sub-replacement levels," and this sterile trend threatens
all of Western Civilization from North America to Europe. So maybe
I'm not the only voice crying in the wilderness about the economic
problems that legalized abortions have caused in our society.
True, the U.S. desperately needs welfare reform.
That was already accomplished under Bill Clinton.
There are far too many
idle Americans who could do at least some of the menial, hard and dirty
jobs that now go to illegal immigrants by default.
Lets start with you.
Certainly, we need
to cultivate a better work ethic and an entrepreneurial spirit among
our own people.
Nevertheless, I still believe that at least 50 percent of the problem
we face is the fact that we have killed off almost 12 million potential
workers in the U.S.A. who would now be between the ages of 26 and 35.
Nature abhors a vacuum, economic or otherwise. Hence all our Mexicans
Prolifers will say anything. And what the hell do you have against
"all our Mexicans?"
