Immigrants for Security

The following article is written by a special guest contributor who who happens to be a member of one of the most elite groups in the world: Libertarians from the Middle East.

I am one of those immigrants who want to live in this country without fearing the sword of the fascists and/or carrying the taxing burden of the lazy. My belief is that the government is to maintain security and be the arbiter of disputes, nothing more. If the government is for the people by the people then the PEOPLE should decide what they want not the government; Majority rules is a nice democratic concept except for one heavy shortcoming where it allows the majority to dictate the lives, the income, the property, the marriage, …etc of the people.

It follows that the concept of security for the people is something of the duties of a limited government. One important element of maintaining security is having a reasonable and effective immigration policy "for law abiding, freedom loving immigrants like myself"; the immigration policy of this country is a joke, it can be best summed up by arbitrary decisions made by inept people who are trying to give the semblance of doing something "sort of keeping busy", security checks on immigrants are mostly random and arbitrary since the whole system is flawed without having a standard or organization to follow.


The bureaucrats compensate for those flaws by relying on another dumb technique AKA "racial profiling and random checks", it beats the hell out of going out of their way to gather true intelligence about people in the real world, it is the easy way out of doing one of the few necessary governmental function correctly. The result is a 2 fold disaster:


1-innocent people get bogged down in the system because the government has not any negative information about them yet they fit the profile based on race and citizenship. The government has no effective way of clearing them but feels scared of its' shadow to clear them. They already know how ineffective their methods are, someone slipping through the cracks will just further expose them, it is easier to hold all immigrants hostage rather than doing one's own job effectively, but asking a government employee to do his/her job is too much these days.


2-Most of the true criminals will go unnoticed because there is not a true staffing or mechanism to focus on the real suspicious people or to investigate them properly as true intelligence is some kind of a myth. Furthermore, it gives the funny impression that if you stay illegal you are unlikely to be investigated since the government knows nothing about your existence while applying for a legal immigration process will make them investigate you. Anyone care to venture which one the truly bad guys would choose ?


There is no way that the government should be taking 2 years investigating someone, think about it this way: if he is dangerous, then he almost is laughing @ their inability to find anything on him while going about his business which may very well be costly to innocent lives in this country; On the other hand, if he was innocent, it should not take them 2 years of wasted effort, resources, money and investigative time on him.

The bottom line
: if it takes the government more than 2 years to differentiate between the good guys and the bad guys, then we are in serious danger, and that is nothing short of dereliction of duty by the government for the purpose of a falsely positive publicity.
