Migration madness: Mental illness on rise
By
Drs. Michael A. Glueck & Robert J. Cihak
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
The country is feeling ill. Patients already ill are feeling worse.
Actually mentally ill! So say a number of psychiatrists with whom we have
spoken. It's a lot more than about gas prices. It's about being invaded by
trespassers wanting free handouts and then demonstrating in our streets
about their rights while waving foreign flags and threatening to harm our
economy.
A local newspaper in it's, "Question of the Day," asked their readers what
effect the Monday, May 1, pro-illegal immigrant boycott had on their
communities and lives.
For the most part readers in the Newport Beach-Costa Mesa area reported
that the cities were calm and lives were not disrupted. Many persons of
Hispanic background that residents were accustomed to seeing and doing
business with at local businesses, stores and restaurants came to work.
Admittedly, the hometown of this writer from the O.C. is not
representative.
But locally people were emotionally angry and upset and discussions at the
some local coffee shops quickly escalated in to shouting matches. People in
this community and the country are on edge and fear the worst.
That said, on a deeper level we must be careful not to draw many
conclusions (overestimate or underestimate) from Monday's staged boycott.
Nor should we underestimate America's resolve to respond to any perceived
or real threat to our safety and economy.
Even if we were to lose all illegal immigrant workers — California and the
nation would survive.
WHY?
-
If the illegals were to stage a sustained work boycott, American
ingenuity over weeks and months and spurred on by the increased demand for
workers, would develop a whole new set of technologies and innovative work
methods. In spite of the elegance of the illegal's false rhetoric, many of
the 15 million unemployed Americans would absorb some of the jobs left
behind. The market forces of supply and demand would quickly take over as
with any other economic challenge.
-
Yes, strawberries might climb to $6.00 a basket but this is a pittance
compared to the current social-economic-medical-educational and
crime/incarceration costs. Americans might learn to pick their own
strawberries as many now do with apples at the many apple orchards in the
East, Midwest and West.
-
On a usual day there would not be the many planned road and route
closures plus hundreds of thousands of marchers that clogged our streets
and caused delays in some areas.
-
On a regular day the press and electronic media would not be fueling,
flaming and encouraging the protests and boycotts to pursue their own
agendas. Nor would the media be able to overhype or purposely misinterpret
the results of the boycott. During the last demonstrations in March and
early April one O.C. paper reported that 500,000 marched in Los Angeles
while another wrote it was 50,000!
This is not to say we desire or should require all illegals to leave
immediately. Most persons in the O.C. , California and the nation ask that
the broken pipeline be fixed immediately so we can then deal intelligently
with the issue. If a water pipe broke in your home or yard would you debate
the issue for 25 years — or first fix the leak and then proceed to solve
the problem.
And finally we should be thankful that the boycotts were mainly peaceful
and orderly which is in itself a tribute to our democratic process and
system. On the plus side, perhaps this bodes well for those who are here,
legally or illegally, that a solution can be worked out that is wise and
sensible.
In the meantime keep up the ongoing dialogue your psychiatrists and
psychologists.
