Illegal immigration is a growing problemWell it is painfully clear who took the last election with a little help of media deceit (withholding information and offering an incomplete picture is a form of deceit), propaganda and the legal texts crafted and amended by… ‘drum rolls’ those who took the last election. What was the previous year a restrained flow has now amplified and, with the Summer being such a favourable time of year for travel, the Maltese Islands are seeing dozens to one or two hundreds of illegal immigrants on a daily basis.

It looks like we may very well be setting a record in illegal immigrants received this year. Perhaps we should apply to Guinness for the dubious honour of ‘record illegal immigrants retained per capita in the World’ and also for the equally dubious honour of ‘record amount in welfare paid to the upkeep of illegal immigrants per capita’. Indeed together anything is possible when it comes to scraping the bottom of the barrel in ludicrousity. Do we truly plan on waiting for another five years to demand our votes back?

It is also very annoying that certain quarters are keen to play the mythologically sharpened ‘race card’ against practically any and all who would find this situation completely unacceptable. Perhaps this is why so few remain who dare to express their thoughts and concerns on the matter. Vilification within what has been emerging as a bureaucratic police state (a state where the police and mechanics of law are deemed required to retain absolute control over the populace) could have had something to do with that. After all this country has the dubious honour of sentencing a person to two years imprisonment suspended for four years, plus a significant fine, for expressing his thoughts and concerns and anger on the situation (oh yes and for “insulting ‘His Excellency the President of Malta’”).

Well illegal immigration is a major problem in Malta. I would say that it trumps and dwarfs the utilities surcharge & the rise in fuel prices combined (not to mention others) as it is ongoing, escalating and exacerbating. Furthermore the mushrooming population of illegal immigrants represent similarly mushrooming costs and the money has to come from somewhere.

But before any talk of solutions can begin, the issue has to be recognized to be the problem that it is. As Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi relatively recently and indirectly sputtered out, and as Norman Lowell had incessantly claimed before himself and Josie Muscat and practically all other individuals calling themselves politicians (including myself) the problem of illegal immigration could be likened to an ‘invasion’. So let us start to perceive it as the national crisis that it is!

    The U.S. is the only developed country still experiencing third world-like population growth, most of which is due to immigration. It’s absolutely imperative that our population be stabilized, and that’s impossible without dramatically reining in immigration, both legal and illegal.

    Virtually every industrialized nation, including China, Mexico, and most recently the entire European Union has taken steps to end illegal immigration, and to curtail legal immigration to only that which is prudent, demonstrably necessary, and above all other considerations, in the best interests of their native populations. It’s dangerous to suggest that the United States should not do likewise!

    The truth is that immigration is the main factor which will cause our nation’s population to grow to 430 million by the year 2050. This is equivalent to a near 50% increase in our population in just the next 50 years, according to the Census Bureau.

    Today, California alone has a higher growth rate than India. The U.S. as a whole has a higher growth rate than China.
    The U.S. is by far the most welcoming country in the world to LEGAL immigrants, with over one million brought in under 9 different visa programs. But immigration spins totally out of control with the additional factor of well over another million ILLEGAL immigrants crashing the border each and every year. An October 2007 study by CAPS states that there are now as many as 38 million ILLEGAL immigrants residing within the U.S. and that number is rapidly rising every day.

    Hello zeezil.

    Thank you for the interesting comment and the equally interesting statistics. I presume that you speak of the US context throughout. While I am of the impression that the US’s legal immigration policies seem a little overdone in numbers I would also point out that they are worlds apart from the problems that illegal immigration poses. It is also not an easy task to apply for citizenship. For citizens in some countries (Malta included) its almost literally down to a lottery.

    I would suggest that any individual with the patience to wrestle with the legal procedures of entry exhibits a sufficient degree of lawfulness not to be placed in the same boat as illegal migrants. :c)

Also, a misconception regarding the banks intentions whenever talking about foreclosures is that the traditional bank will not getreceive my installments. There is a certain quantity of time that this bank will require payments here and there. If you are far too deep inside the hole, they are going to commonly demand that you pay that payment completely. However, that doesn’t mean that they will have any sort of payments at all. When you and the loan company can find a way to work some thing out, the foreclosure practice may end. However, should you continue to pass up payments wih the new approach, the home foreclosure process can pick up exactly where it was left off.

They also often have some content on their website, like images or small archives..
