The problem with trying to fight immigration from a conservative line is that it is virtually impossible. There is no Constitutional way to identify a person on the street: to ask for ID or to demand that they acknowledge their citizenship is Constitionally illegal, and also crossing the line towards fascism. As humans, we inherently have the right to travel freely without being asked for where we’re going and why. The big reason why conservative politicians took a fight-immigration (both legal and illegal) line was because it is a great pork product: when fighting immigration is supported by the populace, all a country needs to do is hire more police officers, more technology and increase government bureaucracy to make it seem like something is being done. In reality, nothing changes.

The bigger problem the country is facing is run-away inflation: as the Federal Reserve worked to create more dollars in circulation, the new dollars made many items more expensive. When we see inflation (the creation of new money), we see wages go up, but nowhere near as quickly as the cost of some goods go up. Inflation creates stock market bubbles, it also creates housing market bubbles and oil price bubbles. Inflation is the most evil form of silent taxation: the dollars you have in your bank are worth less and less over time.

With the Democrats taking control of the House of Representatives, and basically taking over the Senate on paper, I believe we will see a new direction that will allow the Democrats to reinvigorate the dollar printing presses while trying to mask the inflation that normally comes along with it: more legal immigration. When you increase the amount of dollars in circulation, you see inflation affect products, UNLESS you can also increase the demand for those new products. The best way to increase demand is to increase the number of people who want items: people who need houses, cars, oil, jobs, and consumer goods. By allowing more people into the country, legally, and by providing amnesty for those illegally living in the U.S., the Democrats can increase the easy credit we’ve lived with for years by providing a bigger supply of consumers.

That is why I coined the term immigflation — inflation hidden through immigration.
