Can You Help America?
Are you willing to give five minutes or more of your time to think about a solution to a very costly problem that exists in every State in the Union?
If you listen to Rush Limbaugh on TV or on his radio show, you will hear him discuss how dumb and ineffective Democrats can be. He has been saying that the Democrats are only good at whining about problems, not at fixing problems. Rush says the Republicans are the only party that actually fixes problems. Do you believe this? FreeRepublic.com is overflowing with Republicans isn't it? I propose that the Republican FReepers attempt to find a solution to this major problem and demonstrate to America just how effective Republicans (and FReepers) can be.
In the early 1960s, approximately 62,000 illegal aliens came across the Mexican border, and the INS considered this notable and worthy of action. Now, in the first decade of the 21st Century, hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens enter the United States across the Mexican border each year and the INS declares the problem too big to tackle because nothings stems the tide. Federal immigration laws state that sneaking into America without going through the INS Border Patrol stations is illegal. Hiring an illegal alien is illegal. Sheltering an illegal alien is illegal. And keeping knowledge from law enforcement as to the whereabouts of an illegal alien is illegal. With Agenda 21, the politicians are looking at every way possible to give those who break these laws a pass by granting amnesty and American citizenship to illegal immigrants. Agenda 21 means effectively removing the borders between Mexico and the US. NAFTA just opened our roads to tractor trailers from Mexico. This situation will become much worse.
This problem has been ignored in just about every city and county in America while costing exorbitant amounts of taxpayer dollars, spent on social welfare and the education of illegal aliens. Ignoring this problem also comes with the cost of an increasing crime rate resulting in too many American citizens being victims at the hands of illegal aliens. Governments at all levels, federal, state and local are not protecting America's federal nor State sovereignty,. nor are they protecting American citizens.
Why should you and I support a federal lawbreaker in our State? So an incumbent politician can get reelected with their illegal vote? I don't think so!
Matricula consular identification cards are solid identification of an illegal allien. If you can't show a birth certificate, a Visa or a green card then you are an illegal alien who has broken our immigration laws. They must leave America and reenter within our laws. We shouldn't have to amend our laws to accommidate lawbreakers! What example does that set for those who are attempting to enter America legally? Much more important: What example does this give our children? That breaking the law can be a rewarding act? If our immigration laws carry no penalty for being broken, why should bank robbery, or molesting children be punished? Do we make our laws for them to be ignored by aliens and politicians? Is a vote more precious than our standards and ideals? Our politicians must believe so, judging from their responses.
The words "protect the people" are found in virtually every Oath of Office taken by elected and appointed officials in the US, including the police chiefs, mayors, county sheriffs, state legislators, governors, congressional representatives, and senators. Sadly, not one of these officials on the public dole is taking their Oath of Office seriously when it comes to the issue of illegal immigration.
The Supreme Court of the United States has wisely ruled that the Feds cannot force state, county or city law enforcement officers to enforce federal laws (including immigration laws), and our local and state officials use this as an excuse to turn their heads on the problem of illegal immigration while our communities slide steadily downhill. Government officials continue to demand higher taxes to keep the illegal immigration problems under "control" yet we can only sit back in wonderment as they pay lip service to the problem while actually enacting legislation and policies that encourage people to emigrate to the US illegally with promises of social welfare and education benefits.
Being an American is a primarily a state of mind for all of us - being a proud American is based on the idea of freedom and self-reliance. We are all immigrants from one country or another, and we (or our forebears) became Americans by consciously subscribing to these ideas. We came here legally, we obey the laws and we promote the idea that others obey the laws in the same way. Are we supposed to sit and wait while the political class comes up with the politically correct so-called solutions that fail to keep America strong and our families safe?
How many foreign college students choose each year to stay in America rather than obey the conditions upon which they entered America? How many older vistors choose to stay at the end of their vacations? How many deported criminal aliens return using a different name? How many Muslims are in America illegally studing our open way of life, just waiting for an opportunity to repeat 9/11? I am sure we have illegal aliens from every country in this world enjoying the American lifestyle, helping to bring us down to a third world power. We aren't too far from becoming the country that these people left. The American culture can only absorb so many new residents each year without radical changes. We have passed that number. We must act now before the policical leaders offer them amnesty and permanently defeat our way of life. The time has come to stand up and fight for what we believe in. The Constitution will become wastepaper. The Bill of Rights will become a memory. Our flag will become a symbol of defeat.
If you have listened to Rush, you know the truth of his broadcasts. If you haven't listened to him, here's an opportunity for you to show how good FReeper Republicans can be at finding solutions to our nationwide illegal immigration problems.
So tell us, what should be done to fix the problems of illegal immigration in your community?
#1. Should we acquiesce and allow the illegal immigration to continue while waiting for the elected officials to address the problem in a substantive way?
#2. Should we wait for Federal legislators to compromise our security and way of life by resolving the problem in a manner that is politically correct and acceptable to every nation in the world?
#3. If we continue to send snail mail and email letters to your local and State leaders. Will the roar be ever loud enough to be heard in the highest offices? What will their response be? Submition to illegal immigrants who want to change America forever?
#4. Should we wait until you fly off the handle and lash out at an illegal alien, surely resulting in legal problems that will further harm your family and ruin your life's ambition to be a good and loyal American citizen?
#5. Should you ignore the illegal immigration problem and hope it will go away before it gets much worse?
What should YOU do?
What should WE do?
It is time to stand together to correct this problem. You are the leader in your family. Your kids look to you to protect them. If you don't help us now, will your children be able to look at you with pride or shame in five years. It's your freedom and your way of life that is up for grabs.

The flag is the symbol of our national unity, our national endeavor, our national aspiration.

Great tune with totally true lyrics.
Environment - Conservation is hopeless without immigration reduction.Traffic - Congestion is worsened by the immigrant influx.
Security - Large corporations and terrorists love open borders.
Poverty - Immigration imports poverty and lowers wages for poor Americans.
Favoritism - Foreign students get preferential treatment at U.S. universities.
Jobs - Industry creates fictitious labor shortages to avoid paying market wages.
Healthcare - Illegal immigrants bankrupt our health system.
Welfare - Immigrants are disproportionate users of public assistance.
Crime - Who is filling our prisons? Over 25% of federal inmates are aliens.
Schools - The level of immigration is so massive, it's choking our schools.
Immigration has always been an important part of our heritage.Today, however, it is out of control.
Masses of people are pouring into our country, with no sign of slowing down.
There, that's better. So just put a < next to the "A" at the begining
He got a driver's license in California, let's say, and that was accepted there as adequate ID to register for SS. He might have bought a phony birth certificate, or passport. Now the Mexican Consulates and others are giving something called a Matricula Consular, which is being accepted everywhere as valid ID by the stupid.
But listen, Mexicans aren't stupid. They are just illegal and taking gross advantage of our systems which are full of holes through which Jose, Achmed, Wang, Little Johhny Malvo and his Mom are walking through with impunity.
However, in real life, Joe Rodriguez isn't going to present an SS or green card to you, he's already floated the phony docs through the temp agency who ships Joe to you in a van, pays him, and just bills you.
Now let me tell you a bad story with a good part: my daughter married a foreigner. That's the good part. Splendid guy. But when he was having trouble coping with the bureaucracy (which ain't all THAT difficult) to come here legally, he was thinking of getting a Mexican visa in his country, flying to Mexico and driving in here and letting the paper work catch up later!
I HATE THAT A FOREIGNER THINKS OUR BORDER CONTROLS ARE SO MICKEY MOUSE THAT ANYONE CAN even think about COMING HERE LIKE THAT! I assure you I would have turned his foreign hide in.
"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."
That quote comes is a document I learned about in 4th grade - in public school no less.
Thanks so very much!
We are a non-partisan, all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization dedicated to educating Americans regarding the long- term consequences of present immigration laws. The evidence is overwhelming that it is in the best interests of present and future Americans to reduce annual immigration from the present unprecedented level of 1.2 to 1.5 million immigrants a year to our historic average of 300,000 a year.1 birth every 8 seconds
(-)
1 death every 12 seconds
(+)
1 immigrant every 29 seconds
(+)
1 U.S. citizen returns every 4,828 seconds

A net gain of 1 person every 13 seconds!
It only takes 5 minutes to call you congressman
White House Inundated with Petitions; Americans Want Troops on U.S. BorderWASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo (R-CO), Chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, today announced that the Caucus petition urging the President to immediately deploy troops along the U.S. border has overwhelmed the White House email system.
"Perhaps the White House is finally getting the message," said Tancredo. "Its about time they realize that the people of this country justifiably feel that the U.S. border is a sieve. It poses a real threat to our security and ignoring this fact represents the most egregious evidence that the federal government is shirking its responsibility to the people of this nation."
Since Rep. Tancredo posted the petition on Tuesday, June 11, 2002, approximately 11,403 petitions have been sent electronically to the White House. Due to the overwhelming response, the White House email system is overloaded. To sustain their email system operations, the system is sending an auto-reply to each petition with a "service unavailable" warning.
To access the petition, please visit http://www.house.gov/tancredo/
