05/03/09 - An Idaho Reader Says There Is No "Back Of The Line"
From: Claudia Anderson (e-mail
her)
Re: Today's Letter: An
Arkansas Reader Recommends The U.S. Adopt Japan's
Policy: Pay Workers To Go Home
Letter writer Charles Rowe is
supremely naïve if he thinks that illegal aliens
deported from the U.S. would keep their promise not
to come back in exchange for a cash up front buy out. [Japan
Pays Foreign Workers to Go Home—Forever, by
Hiroko Tabuchi, New York Times, April 22, 2009]
The most enterprising among
aliens deported from America would return
immediately, produce another
false identity, and get paid again to
leave again. Only the number of
bogus identities they could create would limit the
number of illegal entries they'd make.
Unlike conditions in Texas where the Rio Grande beckons, in Japan thousands of miles of ocean prevent immigrants from returning. But slipping back into the U.S. has been proven, over and over, to be the proverbial piece of cake.
Good
grief!
Anderson is a designer-goldsmith and
the former copy editor and features-writer for her local
newspaper, the San
Angelo Standard-Times. Her previous letters about
Lou Dobbs and
illegal alien voters in Texas are
here and
here.
Anderson's husband is a former sheriff of Tom Green
County where San Angelo is located.
