The Illegal Immigration Emergency: Would a Bill of Impeachment Wake-Up President Bush?

Human Events Online ^ | August 26, 2005 | Patrick Buchanan

On Aug. 12, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson declared a state of emergency "due to a chaotic situation involving illegal alien smuggling and illegal drug shipments" on his southern border. Three days later, Gov. Janet Napolitano followed suit in Arizona.

Reason: the crisis on the border. The ally-ally-in-free immigration policy of George Bush and Vicente Fox, beloved of corporate America, has created a hell on our southern border.

Those Southwestern states are being inundated by illegal aliens trashing ranches, killing cattle, committing crimes and eating up tax dollars. The traffic in narcotics and human beings from Mexico is a national scandal and a human rights disgrace.

What is true of New Mexico and Arizona is true of our nation, which is now home to an estimated 10 million to 15 million aliens who have broken our laws and broken into our country. It is a mark of the cowardice of our . . .

I simply think that we should apply the rule of any homeowner. If a trespasser comes onto your yard, you get them out by force.

Agree, especially when the police won't respond to calls.

Money quote from Pat's column:

George Bush is chief executive of the United States. It is his duty to enforce the laws. Can anyone fairly say he is enforcing the immigration laws? Those laws are clear. People who break in are to be sent back. Yet, more than 10 million have broken in with impunity. Another million attempt to break in every year. Half a million succeed. Border security is homeland security. How, then, can the Department of Homeland Security say America is secure?

Yes to all.

What's there to disprove, you were the one saying that angry conservatives like travis gave BJs to the empty suits at MSNBC.

The only 'problem' the President seems to see is that mean people keep calling these wonderful, gentle people "illegal immigrants", when really they're friendly guests over for a visit who are offering to lend a hand.:

Exactly, how they in Washington and the rest of us define the problem are two different things.

Funny - no one is trying to get into Zambia or Cuba - I guess all those folks sneaking into the USA heard about the obese population and figured in was time to get fat!

Is There A Backbone In The House?

Another example is that of border security and illegal immigration.

Republicans are supposed to be tough on terror, but when it comes to the thousands of miles of unprotected borders, Republicans are playing politics while the security of America is at stake.

To fight a real war on terror, government officials must make it as tough as possible for terrorists to enter the country illegally.

Yet, whenever some Republicans come forward and talk about fighting illegal immigration and increasing border security, other Republicans are backing down under fear of being called "racist" or "insensitive."

Perhaps Republican legislators need to increase the calcium in their diets so they can grow a backbone.

Instead of the image of tough legislators fighting for conservative values and issues, the images that come to mind more often than not when thinking of Republicans in Washington are those of a family of jellyfish.

what T.R. called a "polyglot boarding house for the world."

I didn't know TR had weighed in on this. If refusing to address a gross violation of a clearly stated provision of the Constitution vis-a-vis its responsibility to the states (which the federal government loves to dominate and demand things of) is not a High Crime, then I don't know what is. This is a violation of the Constitution itself, not the Bill Of Rights.

And I'm wrong how, and are you going to be hillary and state false statements hoping average people you think are dumb enough to believe you.

BTW, pat buchanan is a favorite to the MSNBC suits, since all he does is bash the President, basically giving political fellatio to the MSNBC suits(akin to ron reagan jr, except without the tu-tu's)

This problem has escalated drastically since Booosh took office and he has fiddled.

[Calpernia]

Sorry, but I'm skeptical of the Bush Border Screams.

Are they screaming about the 'borders' per say?

Or are these screams prompted by the latest ICE round ups: confiscated COMPUTERS, money laundering investigations and the massive Cocaine Seizures in Texas?

'Innocence seldom utters outraged shrieks. Guilt does.'

I just can't help but notice, the more arrests, the more investigations of the drug and human trafficking that involve the borders equals more left propaganda about 'Bush doing nothing' and not one ounce of praise or press for all he IS doing.

"Patty Buchanan now in bed with with Chinagate figure and UN native bill richardson...run away as fast you can ..."

All conservatives should have been running from this character since he selected Marxist Lenora Fulani as his presidential campaign Co-chairman. I was a Buchanan supporter before that woke me up like cold water in the face. Could a true conservative make a political alliance with an International Socialist? Only a closet Nationalist Socialist could!

I'll still read his opinions. However, I'll do all I can to keep him as far as possible from any political power or any influence in the political process.

Pat Buchanan = John McCann on steroids... and he's pulling a McCann move to cozy up to the MSM and the anti-Bush Left.

This gross - and demonstrably willful - negligence, especially in a time of war, is definitely a high crime. It's all about the oath. See U.S. Constitution Article IV, Section 4.

>>>>Yes, illegal immigration has always been a problem. I wish I could find the data and link again but there was one report (quoted on KFI Radio) where the problem has increased dramatically in just the last five years... that is, ever since Bush became president.

Yes, PLEASE DO find that link.

[Map Kernow]

especially in a time of war when the problem has been well-publicized and documented

Isn't that what we've lived with for almost four years, for God's sake: A TIME OF WAR? Would Roosevelt have let just anybody come into our borders during WW II? Didn't Wilson send Pershing deep into Mexico to punish border incursions by Mexicans during WW I? How can Bush even stand comparison with our great war Presidents if he won't--if he refuses to---secure the borders????

[johnb838]

they don't even bother with ANY employers any more... they used to at least arrest some so the rest had to be careful.

[Happy2BMe]

You will see a lot of that type activity the closer the 2006 election cycle gets here.

Career politicians on each side of the aisle are realizing their kingdoms are not the castles they thought they were.

You know that Dane.

Yes, PLEASE DO find that link.

I think Zeiglar or John and Ken were talking about this last week. Some sort of study. I don't remember the source.
