Day: August 20, 2007

The recent news has shown Elvira Arellano returning from Mexico after illegally hiding in a Chicago church for one year. The current law of the land does not allow criminals to stay and some are deported back to where they originated. Her story happens to have made headlines regarding reformation of immigration.

My understanding is that the indigenous people had lost their lands to the current corporate entity of the British. I do not understand that why coming back to the original homeland of their ancestors would be deemed illegal or a violation of a law on ‘God’s’ land. ‘God’s land is for everyone and there should be no law to work honestly on the land of plenty.

And yet I see countless sacrifices made by those people crossing the desserts to find jobs that noone else with legal status as citizens of the United States would like to do for a living and earn money at minimum wage, which is currently $5.85 per hour. Some – young and old – do not make the trip over the high fence or border line due to death by dehydration from lack of water and other health-related condition.

My ideal would be to open the borders to both Canada and Mexico, whereby people could work across the borders and visit their families freely. This movement is supposed to unify everyone while retaining individual attributes to sex, age, race, religion, family status, national origin, military status, and disability. This means job opportunities could be shared for all under U.S. sovereignty, which is still an offshoot of the U.K. monarchy.

Perhaps the opportunity to create the ‘Amero’ currency could compete well and compliment with the European Union. The dollar seems to be losing value: China may sells off the hungry Treasury bonds if the U.S. imposes trade sanctions partially due to recent newsworthy incidences of lead paint found on toy products (from Mattel) and of tainted food from recycled animal waste products. The collapse of the dollar may be eminent.

Another opportunity is the improving the infrastructure by building a super highway, such as the latest technology in magnetic levitation for monorails. I see potential investment endeavors for the construction industry of this super highway connecting Canada and Mexico through the heartland of United States. The travelers who are afraid of flying would greatly benefit. I am sure tourists from other countries would flock to try out this mode of transportation.

For example, the current BART system in the Bay Area could be a good place to discover the advantages and disadvantages of completing a half dome pattern to a full circle with magnetic levitation technology. I personally do not like the noise from the rails and the wobbly effects make me dizzy. But traveling by BART is faster than by car and reduces emission to the environment, potential for vehicular accidents and stress of driving behind the wheels in the first place.

So the lifeline of any country happens to be its most important resource – people. Those who are willing to work should be given the opportunity to make a difference in the now emerging globalization of financial and economic endeavors. We as a sovereign nation should set a good example for others to follow. For starters, let’s try rewriting the U.S. constitution to accommodate multiple ideals – a hybrid between communism and capitalism. (Wow! Where did I get that thought? Hehehe!)
