America needs a direct democracy like Switzerland.

I think America , or any country should allow its citizens to vote directly, referendum style on weather they want to have their government cater to illegal aliens. The citizens of Italy, Germany, England, USA etc should let the voters decide if they want to allow immigrants into their country. Switzerland is the only direct democracy country in the world , they do rather well, the rest of the western world should follow their direct democracy type of government. These illegals take jobs, lower wages, add to increasing environmental pollution, plus most jobs are leaving the industrialized western countries to slave labor countries like china, viet nam, etc. Not to mention robotics and 3d printing technologies will take even more jobs from the west and really the whole world. The American people should be allowed to vote on weather or not they want to allow these immigrants into our country. It would be democratic and fair. America belongs to the American people as it should, not to parasitic, conniving illegal immigrants who try and game the system and then look for pity points from the radical liberals in the media who love amnesty. Or the radical conservative corporate snakes who love slave labor in their factories and want to give anyone a green card or whatever papers, to whoever will work for peanuts. These immigrants need to learn to be responsible for themselves as a person and their nations as a whole just like western countries have. If u keep giving them handouts and cutting them slack , they'll never learn to be responsible for themselves or their nations , and while their dragging themselves down the toilet, they'll drag us down with them. This applies to all the illegals here in the U.S. Round them up and send them back. Or let the voters decide, that's democratic and fair. If the immigrants don't like this idea they can go back to their own countries and set up their idea of a good government. Maybe they should try that to begin with. And we should probably stop most legal immigration as well. Unless their ALREADY a doctor or rocket scientist. Last I heard America allows one million legal immigrants into America per year! That’s way to many. Especially since we have no work for our own people. Jobs are being constantly outsourced to china, mexico, wherever corporations can find indentured servants who will work for peanuts. Not to mention automation and 3D printing are constantly advancing and will continue to take more jobs from humans around the world in general. Also Ive spoken to a few older people who worked during the 50’s and 60’s and they said jobs were plentiful. They said you could quit your job in the morning and by noon the same day you could find a similar job with same pay, benefits everything. It was no big deal. And during the 1950’s and 1960’s there were only about 60 to 70 million Americans. Today there is 300 plus million Americans and no work, more pollution and social services are strained to the max. Its known if America stopped immigration our population would shrink. Which is good because its easier on the planet, cleaner water and cleaner air. Less carbon and waste being produced. And probably in 25 to 50 years, which may sound far away but is really just a blink of an eye in a nations or humanitys history, droids like R2-D2 and C3-P0, or perhaps Arnold Schwarzeneggers Terminator will be doing the bulk of humanitys work. These robots will probably even be building more of their kind. And 3-D printing will elimante even more humans from the workplace. If we stopped immigration into America, Canada, Europe, Australia and really all industrialized countries , we wont have this huge mass of unemployed or under employed people like they do now in countries like Mexico and the rest of South America. The Middle East, Africa , the Phillipines etc. Some countries with high populations are doing well like china. But its because western corporations like using the Chinese as slave labor on their factory floors. Western countries should not allow our corporations to fire us, and hire slaves in countries like china, Bangladesh, malayasia, signapore etc. Western countries need to stop immigration into them and stop free trade as well. Because right now were collapsing and things are not going to improve if we don’t stop our western governments and politicians who are bought off with campaign contributions, from continuing these suicidal economic, cultural and environmental policies. And Im tired of the lies by the corporate snakes and political radicals in the media that immigrants contribute to the economy. Ive had to use public assistance and a lot of the people there , maybe most even, are immigrants. Recent arrivals. Theyre speaking all types of foreign languages in the room or broken fractured English. Immigrants cant contribute to our economy if these people cant find jobs are standing in our lines for public aid. It was the Skokie Illinois office I went too. Its loaded with foreigners. Theres no shortage of workers that’s all lies. If anything there are to many people. And Im not trying to deny these immigrants a better life or higher standard of living. I support the Arab Spring, the Chinese struggle for democracy and the Mexican school teachers and Mexican farmers that have banded together and formed citizen militias in order to take their country back from the vicious Mexican drug cartels. These are what these countries and their people need to do in order to improve their standard of living and quality of life. Lets entertain the idea of open borders like President George Bush senior and a lot of corporate executives and liberal political media journalists wanted. Were at 300 plus million now. How long before we reach 350 million, 400 million, 500 million , 1 billion and then 1.5 billlion. Does it seem our economic or environmental situation will improve or get worse. Before we let in all these people, the politicians, corporate executives, political radicals on both sides of the aisle, religious leaders, everyone; might want to watch an old movie called Soylent Green with charelston heston from the 1970’s. Sort of cheesy but really predicted quit well what currently the human race is headed for with over population. If your interested in getting involved in stopping this ludicrous immigration policy, take a look at these two websites. Numbersusa (dot) com and Fairus (dot) org. They give you tons of information and make it easy for American citizens to send free faxes to congressman and senators thinking about ramming amnesty down the American peoples throats. I read the best way to get heard is call your representative in government directly. And maybe suggest to these career politicians who love corporate campaign contributions , or corporate bribes, to let the American people vote directly on this issue and all others as well. Maybe one politician will realize the best public servant is the one that allows the American people to speak for themselves and let the American people vote directly on all laws. Especially important ones like this.
