Wake Up and Smell the INVASION!

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2003/10/17/42232.shtml

 

George Putnam
Friday, Oct. 17, 2003

It is this reporter's opinion that the president took a hands-off approach to California's recall until we arrived at a decision and the choice of Arnold Schwarzenegger as the governor-elect. Now Bush and Schwarzenegger are embracing, both sending out mixed signals on immigration.

Perhaps both should revisit Article 4, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, which states: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion. ..." There's that word again: INVASION.

There are approximately 20 million Mexican immigrants living in the U.S. It is estimated that between 3 million and 5 million are illegals. The impact on California is that nearly one quarter of our current $38-40 billion deficit stems directly from immigration. And yet with our state government's $6.4 billion debt growing, the administration continues to tolerate porous borders and an influx of impoverished, undereducated, unskilled labor pouring across our borders. We're providing a welfare state for Mexico!

The costs of immigration are simply overwhelming. Americans pay nearly $8 billion annually for educating the children of illegal aliens. Even as states struggle with billions in debt, our federal government continues to advocate massive immigration of 1.5 million annually. And nothing is being done to stop 800,000 illegals pouring across our borders each year.

The Center for Immigration Studies in Washington estimates that illegal aliens have cost U.S. workers $133 billion in job losses.

 

 

  • In 2002, foreign workers sent $25 billion back home to Latin America – $16 billion to Asia.

 

  • U.S. unemployment jumped from 6.1 percent to 6.4 percent in June, which is 20 million Americans out of work.

 

  • Our country is now $6.4 trillion in debt! That figure is climbing as our corporations outsource to India and China.

 

Plain figures are frightening. Hispanic babies born in California – automatic citizens – defy the figures. At UCLA Medical Center, a 35-year-old lady we'll call "Maria" was recovering after giving birth to her sixth child, says she can't wait to have another. Her grandmother had 25 children. Her mother gave birth to 18. Maria had her first child at 14. The father says, "There's a lot of joy in each of them, but we don't have enough money."

U.S.-born children of Latino immigrants will emerge as the largest component of the Hispanic population over the next 20 years. California has the largest number of Hispanics with 12 million, about one-third of its total population, followed by Texas, New York, Florida and Illinois. Los Angeles County has the largest population of Hispanics among all counties – approximately 5 million.

The costs to Americans of caring for all these people are prohibitive: Food stamps and medical benefits cost $65 billion annually.

 

 

 

 

 

 

All this ... and yet our leaders keep sending mixed signals concerning the illegal alien invasion. The governor-elect of California hints that he might support an amnesty program for illegals in California. In late August, Schwarzenegger said illegal aliens already in the country should be permitted to stay.

More recently, he said he supported a bill sponsored by Sen. John McCain that would grand temporary working permits to allow illegal immigrants to travel to and from the U.S. and loosen the requirements to apply for visas. And Schwarzenegger added, "I want to make all undocumented immigrants DOCUMENTED AND LEGAL in this country."

These are the people we elect to public office – people who have sworn to uphold the Constitution, protect U.S. citizens and guarantee our security and sovereignty. If this state of affairs continues, our beloved nation will become another Third World catastrophe. America will be divided – the wealthy at the top; the impoverished, undereducated, unskilled at the bottom; and a diminishing middle class trying to carry the load.

The governor-elect and president have a lot to talk about.

Pushing the invaders back inside their own borders is punishment enough. Of course then the border will be SEALED with minefields and ever-vigilant Predators with Hellfire missles to blow the feces out of any further attempts to cross over.

This action will also punish the no-borders conglomerates who won't be able to import the slave-labor products produced along the "front".

I used to contribute to the Republican party, specifically Bush. Now, I get their campaign letters in the mail. I don't send any money. I send a note which states, "You may believe that by pandering to Latinos you may get more votes. No! If you and representatives from my party don't come up with solutions to the illegal immigration problem you'll not get my vote. I'll vote for your opponent instead. I know what to expect from him or her! By the way this applies to any political office holder I might vote for. If they don't show any progress on this problem, they're not getting my vote. Hopefully they won't be Republican.

I believe he is just too polite to call them lil hemmoroids needing surgical removal.

If you think the "Mexico problem" is trivial, look up LaRaza.
They are more openly racist than the Klan ever was. Given their reputation for mindless cruelty, and less than stellar military skills, bet on them making a bad solution worse.

Worse for the average Mexican, that is.

It would be easier and more cost effectice to put every recruit out of boot camp on the Mexican border for 6 months to a year and have them earn their marksmanship medal!

Kill anything that moves!

This war is a good war, pay-pul. Let them declare independencia for Kalifornia, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. That will make it official. Just be prepared for three possibilities: 1.) "The Enemies Within" to commit sabotage and treason; 2.)UN interference; 3.) Chinese Shenanigans: There is no better time to invade Taiwan, crushing their independence movement than when we try to crush Mexico's. Will we be seen as hypocrites trying to stop a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, while stopping a Mexican invasion of the US? That's what the left will think.

Bush is probably going to give them some sort of Amnesty.

That is why I always figured that the War Against Mexico starts by War against Washington DC. Bush is no different than the 'Mexican elites' in that he plots with them to destroy the border states. Being that the Demoncat candidates all are on the side of sedition and surrender to the kletocracy of Mexico, what have we left to do but to start the purge with our own so-called leaders?

I pity our children and the miserable lives they will inherit.

Many Mexican immigrants to the U. S. have no desire to assimilate, to speak English, nor to become Americans. They are aggressively seeking to replace our culture with theirs.

You're being a nativist. Hispanics inside the U.S. simply mean to live fruitful lives like they wish Mexico was. Mexico does not speak english and does not have the same culture as us.

Oh so?

I have a Mexican family living in back of me.

This family has a bunch of grade-school-age kids who are never allowed to leave their yard.

And they're never allowed to leave their yard because the parents don't want them to be exposed to American kids, who the parents think will corrupt their children.

So they play by themselves in their back yard all day and throw stuff over the fence into my yard.

Eternal_Bear wonders:

Yup. Pretty much just what you said.

Annex them, or they will "annex" _us_, by demographics.

Take your pick.

Cheers!

How ironic that KPLS, which broadcasts George Putnam, has been sold to a Spanish language radio group. Soon he will be off the air.

I do not think the "Mexico problem" is trivial.

I DO think that going to war against Mexico in order to "protect" our Anglo-European culture from the "threat" on the Latino influence is just absurd. . . . destructive . . . dangerous . . . self-fulfilling.
