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.

Not so........
He's elected - can't be 'fired'...
Police chief's are appointed - they 'rule' at the whim of the commissioners will...
A sheriff has ultimate power in his county: able to run Fed's off as well (although that ain't too wise, for they WILL be back!)
I wonder what would have happened in this country if people had as many children as nature usually allows. Just thinking out loud.
Discussions that don't please you, will take place in spite of your objections.
Be careful about how you bet. It can be expensive.
BIG HORN, WYOMING -- 10/01/97 -- Wyoming sheriff tells feds to stay out
According to Sheriff Mattis, the case shows that he is legally responsible for all law enforcement activities which go on in his county. Mattis has put all federal agencies on notice that they are not to perform any law enforcement activity in his county unless he personally approves the operation in advance.
Here in the Midwest we do not have the same problems as those in the border states, but I cannot understand how these affected residents can continue to fund everything from cradle to grave, if the immigrants continue to come in at the same level. Many elderly have to do without many of the services handed out to the illegals, and this is wrong; our own citizens, particularly the ones who've paid taxes for their adult working lives should be given what they need first.
If Pres Bush is trying to gain voters from the Hispanic community, I think he should be more concerned about losing the loyal Republican voters over this immigration mess.
I don't have the answers. Another point that I probably shouldn't even bring up is that it threatens to turn this country into a catholic majority, religious-wise.
Now in most respects that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, and maybe it serves the protestants right for using birth control.
I don't know but it is bothering me. We worked hard to make a good life for our children and many of us did limit the size of our families and now because others didn't they are robbing us blind. Maybe it is divine justice.
The bottom line for me is that having more children than you can afford to feed is irresponsible, if not sinful, regardless of what the powerful churchmen say. Ideally, birth control shouldn't be used but we are not living in an ideal world.
They are good people and most of them work very hard, but they are really not into education and some of the cultural things many of us have developed and held so dear, like love of art, music, going to museums, always learning, etc.
I'm sorry if that sounds prejudicial. I wish I would see evidence to the contrary and get over it as I don't want to resent them. I know some. Those that married anglos have mixed children who are doing very well educationally. As to the rest, I don't know if they put much value in higher education or anything else other than work and fun.
In fairness to them, when they do take over neighborhoods formerly occupied by middle-class whites, they seem to take good care of the property and are good citizens.
The rest of them have a macho ethic and the men are only interested in sex and macho stuff. There I said it. That's why I am prejudiced against them.
My daughter in her stupid teens had two children by a second-generation Mexican. He already had another out-of-wedlock child. He wasn't interested in much of anything that I could ever tell. He abandoned the children and one of them is lost to us through adoption. The one my daughter raised has just gotten in a scrape with the law over having sex with an 11-year-old (he's 15) and it just tears me apart. He has no drive or ambition and isn't very bright in school but he is a sweet kid. Like I said, it just tears me apart because he is my flesh and blood.
Sorry I rambled on so but I think it is one of the reasons I am upset about the whole mess.
IF you prefer anarchy and invasion to American sovereignty and law enforcement, I suggest you hitch a ride the next Euro-Charter to Brussels. There you can cry on the shoulder of one of your One-World brethren.
