The Next American Revolution

President Bush is, literally, ripping this nation apart. There is no question that, unless he and the Congress that he controls, change their views on open borders, mass immigration, exporting jobs and importing "willing workers," our soldiers may soon be fighting a war on a third continent, North America. According to every poll taken in the past few years, more than 80% of the American people are very much opposed to all of the above. And this figure includes all races, colors and nationalities. Yet, the President has chosen to ignore the wishes, hopes and aspirations of this huge majority of Americans.

This is an excellent article! Why did you excerpt it?

President Bush is, literally, ripping this nation apart. There is no question that, unless he and the Congress that he controls, change their views on open borders, mass immigration, exporting jobs and importing "willing workers," our soldiers may soon be fighting a war on a third continent, North America.
According to every poll taken in the past few years, more than 80% of the American people are very much opposed to all of the above. And this figure includes all races, colors and nationalities. Yet, the President has chosen to ignore the wishes, hopes and aspirations of this huge majority of Americans.
Certainly, Mr. Bush and the Republican Party deserve most of the blame for our current condition. For four years, this Republicans Administration, in full control of the White House, the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, are chiefly responsible for holding the borders open, exposing Americans to terrorism, uncontrolled immigration, increased crime and Third World diseases.
Why are the Republicans, who represent the conservative segment of our society, ignoring their political base and putting our nation at risk? Some suggest that this is merely payback to their fat cat supporters who prefer to use cheap or slave labor rather than to give living wages to Americans. Others suggest they are merely following the political strategy of Karl Rove and other advisors who have convinced them they must court the Hispanic vote to retain control of the government.
I believe the President has a totally different agenda. I believe he is intent on creating a borderless, hemispheric, free trade zone from the tip of South America to the North Pole. He is trying to emulate the European model, but unlike Europe, where most of the member nations are all First World economies, the Americas model has the richest and most advanced nation living next door to a banana republic, complete with corrupt politicians and oppressed, impoverished, illiterate people.
But to accomplish his dream, he is, necessarily, required to hold our borders open, knowing that he is putting us at greater risk of terrorist attack; knowing that our health and welfare systems will buckle and collapse under the strain of massive overpopulation; knowing that our environment will suffer terribly; knowing that thousands of Americans will die of Third World disease for which we have no immunity; and knowing that our social fabric, our language, culture and heritage will be torn to shreds.
Meanwhile, the American people, from both major parties, are more than just furious; they are ready to take to the streets. They feel a total sense of helplessness because both major political parties have simply decided to ignore them and, as a consequence, they have no place to turn.
And when there is no place to turn, the American people, especially those unemployed and underemployed; those who feel their taxes are subsidizing illegal aliens' health and welfare instead of funding Social Security & Medicare; those who are running out of money; and those who have suffered at the hands of illegal aliens, will take matters into their own hands.
Already, one brave soul, Jim Gilchrist, created Project Minuteman, in the hope that ordinary Americans, who love their country, will come out, at their own expense, and assist the terribly understaffed Border Patrol, in spotting illegal aliens and terrorists crossing our southern border.
It is not at all surprising that this group has already been branded by President Bush as "vigilantes" when, in fact, every participant deserves a Presidential Medal of Freedom for their selfless actions.
I am sorry to say I believe it is quite likely that blood will be spilled in American streets this year because of President Bush's indifference to the American people.
On what is this assessment based? At our USBC headquarters, we receive thousands of emails and letters weekly. And many of these are from those Americans who reelected President Bush and gave him his alleged "political capital." Most, if not all, now feel totally betrayed. Some are bewildered; others are getting the uncomfortable feeling that they've been hustled.
Having been dazzled by a clever campaign strategy that focused voters attention away from America's real, pressing problems to emotional "moral" issues like gay marriage and abortion, many American's are just now waking up to the stark reality of how bad things are:
Unemployment numbers are up; the stock market is headed down; the dollar is collapsing worldwide. Even as he is calling for open borders and guest worker programs, the President is announcing the end of Social Security. Health care is no longer affordable to the average American, but is available for free to illegal aliens.
The president's often repeated slogan about matching willing immigrant workers with willing U.S. employers when no Americans can be found to fill the jobs is wearing thin with those millions of willing American workers who are unemployed or underemployed and is terribly offensive to every American who recognizes it as a lie hiding a hidden agenda.
Easily, the weakest link in our homeland security, our borders remain wide open to the extent that illegal migration today is as high as it ever was prior to 9/11. This outrage continues despite the fact that we now have hard evidence that terrorists are using Mexico as a staging area to stockpile their weapons and their troops. Our government's response to these facts have been astounding - cut backs in border personnel; hiring freezes at Homeland Security; delays in deploying improved surveillance equipment at border checkpoints, harbors and airports; etc...
All of these actions have taken their toll on our nation, on our people; on our American way of life; and on our national psyche. Things have to change and they will. The only question is whether the change will be done in time to avoid civil unrest and bloodshed in the streets.
Unfortunately, the possibility exists that President Bush and his utopian fantasies of a world without borders have powerful allies on the other side of the aisle. Most of Washington's elite, from both parties, are members of the Trilateral Commission, an organization whose stated goals are reflected in President Bush's current border and immigration policies and his support for hemispheric treaties.
That would mean the American people can expect no relief from the political process. The last time that happened, there was another George ignoring the American people - King George. Is it possible that the Minutemen from Project Minuteman, guarding our borders in Arizona, could be the first faltering first steps of a new American revolution, trying to get the attention of this century's King George?
All governments fall, eventually. The symptom is when those we elect begin to feel that they are superior to the people they supposedly represent. George Washington stated ":How soon we forget history. Government is not reason. Government is not eloquence. It is force. And, like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
Hopefully, this government will wake up and recognize that, as a servant of the people, it should obey our Constitution. Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution states that "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion..." It is time to seal our borders against this Mexican invasion.
Edward I. Nelson is Chairman of U.S. Border Control, a national, non-profit, tax-exempt organization, established in 1986, dedicated to restoring the sovereignty of the United States by sealing its borders against drugs, disease, terrorism and illegal migration, and by promoting sensible and effective immigration policies.

I think the authors are wrong to put most of the blame on the President and to suggest that the election was "a clever campaign strategy that focused voters attention away from America's real, pressing problems to emotional 'moral' issues like gay marriage and abortion."

To wit, there were several states with "gay" rights propositions on the ballot and there were several cities performing "gay" marriages. Those things brought a lot of voters to the polls.

Also, the "free trading" transfer of technology, wealth, and jobs to developing nations and recruiting their migrant "cheap" labor for jobs here are things also advocated by mainline Republicans' partners.

That is, the New Democrat Third Way progressive Davos crowd in America is adamant about surrendering our borders, sovereignty and military might to international authority, IMO. Transfer wealth, raise everyone's boat. You do not have to go into the world of the elite Trilateral Commission to find the problem.

Is it possible that the Minutemen from Project Minuteman, guarding our borders in Arizona, could be the first faltering first steps of a new American revolution, trying to get the attention of this century's King George?

The revolution could be a Minutemen political party to challenge the Republicrats.

Almost fifteen years ago Hollywood and Time magazine invented the "angry white man" via the movie "Falling Down" and a cover story. They blamed (what else?) talk radio and Rush Limbaugh. "Falling Down, 2005" includes far more than white men and can be a powerful force equal to the legacy parties of complacent hacks.

Otherwise, the article expresses the disgust I hear everyday on radio discussions that now include exasperation with Republican cowering before Democrats at all levels of government.
