The Illegal Immigration Nightmare

.....despite the overt anti-liberty, anti-sovereignty crimes and treasons committed or condoned by so many in power in Washington, there was always a major group of republican/independent leaders and lawmakers who were decrying the duplicity and decay.

...this time (at least in name only) that leadership is our own. So to whom, now, do we turn for the hope...

...they are consumed with posturing, preening, preparing for the next election, spending what they don’t have, exhorting us to dig deeper into our pockets for the ‘greater good’, and daily authoring and promoting their latest innovative blueprints for cradle-to-grave socialism.

But what is becoming abundantly clear is that America’s sovereignty is now under relentless attack from both within and without her borders.

Is there any FReeper who doesn't realize our country is in dire straits?

Something tragic will happen, REAL sad, and then the lawmakers will realize their is a problem. Here in Mexico, got a call from our friends, they got caught 3X trying to cross, and each time, tried again. Same people who get them across, run stolen American vehicles to sell in Mexico, She now has gone to apply for residence, she has prove she was in the country because of a baby born, FREE. They abandoned the baby here now in Mexico, staying with grandma, while they jump through the legal hurdles. First she gets her status of residence, and then calls for him, and they have applied for a passport for the New Jersey born baby. I guess they figured out how the system works. These are real LAW abiding people. They find out how the law works, and then they work it. The law says Catch and Release...

Nice post! I'm in total agreement with you. The answer to your question is YES there are but, we're hoping for revelation.

I don't know about that, but there are plenty here that see nothing wrong with the invasion or the treachery that allows it to happen.

[Shimmer128]

Wow, what kind of friends do you HAVE????????? Better get a better character of "friends".

"We patriots are not calling for a revolution. We are begging our leadership to lead, so as to avoid one."

So true. Love and respect President Bush, but on this issue, he leaves me (and so many others) angry and frustrated, for, if he REALLY wanted to, he could staunch the flow of illegal alliens (almost) overnite. IMHO.

Sadly, they'll find revelation, but it'll be when it becomes more difficult to function in America w/o knowing Spanish.

Excellent article BTW!!

We patriots are not calling for a revolution. We are begging our leadership to lead, so as to avoid one.

Right on, sir. The disturbing part is that when it happens, and, it will IMO, (if the "leadership" does not change direction soon) the government will blame us. They will be amazed and bewildered that "it has gone this far" and declair that this "vigilantism" has to stop

One reason that skirmishes haven't broken out yet IMO is that the American people are basically law abiding and peaceful people and long suffering. Of course, there are the images of Waco still fresh in mind pointing out that there are killers in our own government who have no qualms about killing and destroying Americans...and there are those who would set the aformentioned killers loose.

[B.O. Plenty]

I am with you...it is truly maddening to know that the border can be closed right now, so that even a rabbit cannot cross.

The "peaceful" suggestion that I like is to bring the Army home from Korea. They have 50+ years experience at guarding borders. Guarding our own borders would be a piece of cake for them.

Where were these articles ten years ago when those of us who saw the threat were screaming bloody murder and called red necks. The thing that bothers me is that alot of the yups who now see the light were hiring the Mexicans and Salvadorians in the first place.

'there are the images of Waco still fresh in mind pointing out that there are killers in our own government who have no qualms about killing and destroying Americans...and there are those who would set the aformentioned killers loose.'

And that the murderers are rewarded. The odious Larry Potts was advanced to the number two position in the FBI after presiding over the Waco massacre. Potts is the sort of soulless, ethically calloused, amoral thug who would have done well in the Third Reich. What does it say about the US when such a man is advanced to the (effectively) chief operational position of the lead national police agency?

[robowombat]

'Is there any FReeper who doesn't realize our country is in dire straits?'

Actually quite a few. Although they have fallen mostly silent of late the noxious cadre of open borders or never deport celebrators of the alien criminal trespasser invasion are still around just silent as they hope disguised amnesty and token border control will pass. There are even several Freepers who at this time loudly proclaim how virtuous they are for hiring damp Americans and that they are true capitalist heroes and those of us more concerned over having a country than the price of lettuce or peaches are fascists. Vile people.

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.

Funny, I never quite heard it this way... It was always, "... and the wisdom to bury the bodies of the people who really pissed me off."

'Where were these articles ten years ago when those of us who saw the threat were screaming bloody murder and called red necks.'

If not for the net such articles would still only reach small audiences of those willing to belong to certain immigration policy groups or subscribe to 'fringe publications'. The net has done a huge amount to educate America to the illegal invasion. Then those stupes engaged in mass intimidation marches that only those who were determined not to see could ignore.

Actually as recently as two years ago here posting such articles would get you reported for 'abuse' and slammed by certain smear artists on this forum who hoped they could provoke posters to commit a banable offense. The campaign of slamming was so well organized that I am convinced that it was being coordinated by persons in Washington DC who wanted to keep this issue taboo.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Whether that alternative allegiance lies in a belief that the importance of illegals to the (mirage) robust American economy supersedes any threat to our sovereignty that their criminality poses …. or a belief that a world without borders is preferable to one in which each nation’s sovereignty is sacrosanct … is unclear.

It's both, along with otherwise well-intentioned desires to stave off a Communist revolution in Mexico and to deny China a foothold in Latin America, and a not-so-well-intentioned desire on the part of some politicians to keep laundered drug cartel campaign contributions flowing into their coffers.

It all adds up to many forces are aligning to support at least the maintenance of the status quo, and optimally an open border. For all the heat he takes on FR, Bush's plan is actually a moderate "go slow" option compared to what we are likely to end up with.

I'm still stunned that the Clinton team escaped total condemnation. The Waco wackos didn't deserve death at the direction of Reno.

Right on!

The South Koreans don't want us there and its costing taxpayers $$$ to keep them doing duty they could (and should) be doing here in protecting us.

There are times when some aspects of conspiracy theory seem to fit the circumstances. The following is part of a not very flattering review of Carroll Quigley's beached whale of a book 'Tragedy and Hope'.

We are left with the suggestion that the elite should continue to guide us in the same direction that we are traveling, but avoiding some of the monumental blunders that they have made in the past.

Quigley's version of history consists mostly of unquestioning repetition of propaganda. Quigley did a superficial job of analyzing history, and he is even worse at sociology. He touts Inclusive Diversity as our great strength and greatest gift. Perhaps he should have considered the aphorism, "Divide and conquer." The West, or any other empire, can only flourish when it concentrates on matters of common concern, not divisivness

Quigley does slightly better with economics and foreign policy, which are more in his area of expertise. He correctly observes that British and American "victories" in WWI and WWII resulted in the almost total destruction of international law. Quigley is in favor of the idea of continental blocs replacing national states. As globalization unfolds, Quigley exposes some of the hypocrisy and bungling, yet he inexplicably remains committed to the overall plan.

So, what is the point of all of this costly meddling? Quigley predicts success...and then failure. "We shall undoubtedly get a Universal Empire in which the U.S. will rule most of Western Civilization. This will be followed by a period of decay and ultimately by invasions and the total destruction of Western culture." Couldn't we save ourselves the trouble and just mind our own business?

Minding our own business is a concept based on the idea that the electorate is in control of the government, and that we have a choice. However, Quigley admits that international financiers influence and control governments. Quigley says that the internationalists, who prefer to remain in the background, should be known for their "valuable" contributions. What these contributions amount to is that they want world government, and they intend to cram it down everyone's throats.

As we slouch toward financial, industrial, and government monopoly the author reminds us of some of the casualties. "As economic enterprises have become larger and more tightly integrated into one another, the freedom, individualism, and initiative traditionally associated with the modern economy have to be sacrificed." Quigley acknowledges that in our future, "In general, there will be a very considerable modification of the areas and objectives of freedom in all societies of the world, with gradual reduction of numerous personal freedoms of the past."

To add to this loss of freedom, Quigley bemoans our loss of a spiritual mooring and suggests a return to the values of Christianity! His version of Christianity, of course. Still full of contradictions, Quigley cleaves to relativism rather than absolutes, approximations rather than final answers-not realizing that the adoption of these mindsets are what weakened the appeal of Christianity.

Finally, as we follow our present course, Quigley predicts an age of conflict characterized by class struggle, war, irrationality, and declining progress. Obviously, we're there now.

Rather than attack his sponsors, who are bringing us this New World Order, Quigley vents his frustration on the middle class. Quigley touts the moral superiority of both the rich and poor, but he asserts that the middle class consists of poorly-informed, neurotic, bourgeois, radical-right Republicans. Worst of all, they have Puritanical attitudes toward sex.

The many internal contradictions in this book indicate a confused mind or a shallow thinker. The author's history is mostly stale propaganda, spiced up with occasional pro-government cheerleading or tales of government boondoggles.
