Another Deflection

As I have said before, my congressman is David Scott, representative of the 13th district in Georgia. Mr. Scott basically is a standard democrat, educated first at a, HBC, Florida A&M, and then in the Ivy League at the University of Pennsylvania for an MBA. Little David has been in in various elected positions since 1973, pretty close to 50 years. He represents only his Democrat constituents and has intentionally neglected town hall meetings, where the constituent opposition was strong. He sits safely in a gerrymandered district and spews nonsense answers to real questions and demands.

Dear Mr. VOTER:

Thank you for contacting me regarding immigration. I appreciate your thoughts on this issue. 

 

Please be aware, I do not support illegal immigration.  I believe we must stop people from entering this country illegally by sealing off our borders. To that end, I support legislation that requires building an electronic fence and the use of advanced technology to help with surveillance. I also support increasing the number of border patrol agents, as well as further using the National Guard and other military personnel, to help with border security. However, we must have clearly defined rules that are easy to follow and keep people safe.

 

In your letter, you expressed support for H.R. 479. As you may know, H.R. 479 would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act and end the visa lottery program that awards 55,000 green cards to foreign citizens. Applications are selected through a random selection process that is administered by the Department of State. In 2018, nearly 14.7 million entries were submitted for the lottery. According to the Harvard Study “The Labor Economics Case for the Diversity Visa Lottery”, the benefits of the Diversity Visa Program include strengthening and diversifying the American labor workforce, while creating a better life for immigrants. Currently, H.R 479 is pending in the House Committee of the Judiciary. While I am not a member of this committee, please rest assured I will keep your views in mind should this bill come to the House floor for a vote.

 

Again, I thank you for sharing your views with me. I hope you will continue to give me the benefit of your opinion in the future. In addition, I encourage you to visit my web site at http://davidscott.house.gov, where you can view the latest news and obtain information on issues and legislation that is important to you. You can also sign up for my electronic newsletter and receive periodic updates on my activities as your representative in Washington. Thank you again for contacting me, and I look forward to continuing to serve you.

Sincerely,
David Scott

Member of Congress

You have to admire the chutzpah, suggesting that he is against illegal immigration while adding that what really need is an electric fence and better rules. An electronic fence may very well be appropriate in some sections, but the rules comment is what I really take issue with. There is an abundance of rules already on the books, they are not working. Adding new rules does not remove the attractiveness of opportunity for potential illegal aliens. The temptation needs to be removed, passing a national E-Verify requirement will constrict the attractiveness of opportunity, without considerable expense. For the people who are and plan to storm the border, rules don't do squat.
David Scott, you're full of shit.
