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.

It's your choice, you decide what to do before it is too late.

The new way of life

I'm not sure the illegal immigrant problem can be solved without solving some social problems here at home.

Illegal immigrants on the whole do the jobs that the poor used to do, before welfare & other social programs made it more profitable for them not to work. Minimum wage & social security laws are also a problem for some of these jobs...not profitable to hire someone legally.

The jobs need to be done, and if no one who is here legally will do them, the employers have a motivation to hire illegals (who WILL show up regularly, and WILL do the work).

I'm not sure I know the answer, and I feel the government should be doing more to stop illegals, but I don't think the problem will be solved until the above is addressed.

[dalebert]

You bet it is. If we don't stand up and fight now it will be too late. Americans have always been willing to stand up and fight to preserve this country but I sure don't think they had this in mind. Fighting to preserve a welfare state for illegals was never in the picture.

[conniew]

That's right, B4. You guys got rid of your socialists...now it's our turn!

[B4Ranch]

Oh no we didn't. They just changed names to Democratic Socialists of America and the Progressive Democratic Party. The UN would be gone if we could get rid of these communists.

[dalebert]

I agree with you. I was making the point that if we don't put all the pressure we can on the 2 major parties and let them know where we the American voters stand nothing will happen. All that will happen is another Ross Perot effct. Politicians need to know before 2004 what the real issues are in this country. The reason I get letters from Bush and my congressmen concerning illegals and immegration is because I am constantly sending them letters concerning these issues.

[conniew]

Oh no we didn't. They just changed names to Democratic Socialists of America and the Progressive Democratic Party. The UN would be gone if we could get rid of these communists.

Fair enough...but at least you got the dems out of the Whitehouse and regained control of Congress. :-)

Re: your map.....

Kinda funny that I don't see my county or it's neighbors on there - and we have a HUGE influx of Hispanics within the past three years. My town has it's own "hispanic employment agency" where spanish is the primary language - you cannot be employed there unless you speak it.

[B4Ranch]

Getting these illegals out of America would do more good than harm in my opinion.

We've all cleaned toilets and made beds at one time or another. Why do we need aliens to do it for us now? Guest worker programs have worked before and will work again. We just need to convince other Americans that this is the right way to do it. Having our politicians allow criminals to sneak in and commit more crimes isn't the way I want to see us governed.

I don't want foreign criminals in America.

[CWRWinger]

Immediately start a web "RED-LIST" of your area's employers that hire and employ illegal aliens.

How is this information obtained?

I asked a builder in our area (several actually), if he hired ilegal aliens. The response was total silence and refusal to acknowledge such a question had even been asked.

[firewalk]

Thanks for the ping....bump!

[CindyDawg]

The University Hospital and other places are full of them.

We are bringing in foreigners more and more in medical facilities because of shortages (esp nurses). This is just a bandaide approach. We need more classes. Where I live only about 30 applicants out of probably 300 qualified candidates are accepted a year. CD

[CindyDawg]

JMO but until this mess can be fixed, I think we need to push for getting rid of the IRS and property taxes and have a national sales tax with no rebates or loopholes. At least that way the ones here would have to pay for social services and school taxes. When the government keeps having to raise the tax maybe more people would protest. CD

[MistyCA]

Yes, there is a terrible shortage throughout the country. There is a lot going wrong in the medical community...shortages is only a small part of the problem, imo. But wasn't it a part of the Hillary plan to limit the educational opportunity in the medical field? Far too much money goes into administrating bs plans in our society, from education to contributions.

[B4Ranch]

autoresponder, can you answer CWRWinger's question about the RED-LIST?

[PatrioticAmerican]

#230 - Sounds great to me.

Why am I paying for a goobermint whose function seems to be itself at my expense?

[B4Ranch]

Have you ever questioned why there is a shortage of medical personell? #1 We are growing older. #2 We have probably 40 million illegal aliens from around the world in our country. A large percentage are not paying anything for their medical services. No profit equals a shortage.

[CreekerFreeper]

I think the idea of a website that puts together a blacklist by states, county and community of businesses that are identified as employers of illegals will help drive the point home to corporate America that this is unacceptable.

Fostering a boycott of these businesses, shining the light of wrongdoing on them will help stop their practices.

If every individual in their community would step up it would help rid our country of illegal aliens. In fact, I'll help pay for such a website.

[Captain Shady]

I've pinged about 1800 people so far and this is all we've gotten. SAD!

One more here. I agree that something must be done. My wife and her co-workers were recently told by their boss that he could easily replace them with "dumb-ass Mexicans"(his words not mine).We know of one such worker that is working there with a false SS# obtained by her newlywed American husband(married and impregnated her before they deported her).
