The key requirement of this
executive order is that the immigrant in question must have been in the U.S.
for a minimum of 10 years. The legislation will automatically give the
individual access to a three year green card, or work permit, allowing them to
openly work in the U.S. and draw benefits. Can you think of a better way to flaunt your immigration status to ICE and the Border Patrol than uttering two simple little words---"I do"?
Interestingly, the executive order comes
just two weeks after Biden issued a executive order to allow immigration
officials full authority to deport immigrants illegally here without processing
their asylum requests. Sounds an awful lot like a President who is either not
sure of what he's doing or is trying to pander to both sides of the issue.
Thus, there's a few points which I think needs to be addressed here.
Well, first off, they aren't
"undocumented". I'm sure they have ample documentation. It's just
that they don't have a green card, meaning they are in the U.S. illegally,
making them a criminal. and there's roughly 11.4 million illegal immigrants
currently living in the U.S..
So, in order to remove the
deportation "Sword of Damocles" from over their heads, all they need
to do is find a willing partner (which doesn't have to be consummated in any
form or fashion), stay married (at least on paper) for about a year, and then
get divorced
The fact of the matter is that
businesses want and need cheap labor who are more concerned with having a job
than about benefits or even job safety. It true that many of these individuals
who take jobs most of us won't. That's mainly because the job doesn't pay very
well, there's rarely any benefits, and many times the job is unsafe or
unhealthy. Also, since they're here illegally, they are unlikely to rock the
boat.
It's also a fact that with this
new found abundance of labor increases demand for available jobs. Higher demand
drives down wages as competition increases. But it's not just wages, it's
benefits too. With rising inflation, people will be to frightened about losing
their job to rock the boat either. A win-win for businesses and a lose-lose for
workers.
Of course, businesses aren't the
only ones to benefit. Unions stand to benefit too. For decades unions have been
hemorrhaging money due to declining
membership. They hope that many of these "undocumented" individuals
will take some of the low paying union jobs. since their union dues will go a
long way in filling their depleted coffers.
In addition, a number of religious groups and their service organizations have quietly and not so quietly been urging individuals and families to cross the border anyway they can. They believe their status as a "church" will keep ICE agents out long enough for them to find appropriate transportation, housing and work. Besides, they're a "church" which makes them exempt from following the law, or so they think.
Lastly, with a change in
immigration status, I'm sure some entrepreneuring individuals will set up a
"marriage broker"service. These modern day "shadchens" (a Yiddish term
for a "matchmaker") could specifically cater to each illegal immigrants particular situation to
help find a willing
---no-strings-attached---pseudo-spouse who's looking for cash---oops, I mean
"love"---and future short term mate quickly. I bet you'll see all sorts of
these quickie wedding joints suddenly start springing up along the southern
border. Who knows, perhaps a few "working girls" would be willing
expand their professional services!
The bottom line here is really simple. President Biden is openly showing the American People that Washington isn't serious about stopping or reversing illegal immigration anymore than they are willing to deport those already here. It's just too profitable. We've been pandered too and given lip service for decades. Most, if not all, of what we've been told has been lies. Can it be any more obvious of the contempt the ruling class has for ordinary Americans?
Therefore, we can either continue to accept
lies as business as usual and keep our mouths shut or demand transparency and
elect people willing to defy corporate lobbyists and party bosses and have the
backbone to do something about the border crisis. And for those who are willing to do so on our behalf, we must given them our unwavering support.

As way of a postscript, the U.S. Supreme Court just ruled that U.S. citizens can't bring spouses to the U.S. if they're not a legal resident or have a work permit ("green card"). This is especially interesting in light of Biden's recent Executive Order which says that anyone here illegally and has managed to evade authorities may remain in the U.S. provided that marry a U.S. National.
So, what's the difference between a U.S. National marrying someone in, let's say, Mexico or El Salvador, and them being prohibited from returning with that spouse in tow and a U.S. National marrying someone who's here illegally provided they been in this country for ten or more years? I suppose it's on the assumption that the later is simply to get into the U.S.under the guise of marriage while the other is marrying a U.S. National to remain in the U.S. A pretty poor legal argument if you ask me.
