Republican Congressman John Culberson of Texas and 47 co-sponsors recently introduced House Bill 3622 to establish a Border Protection Corps.
This is undoubtedly a response to the fear that exists in the U.S., a country prepared to create a system resembling the Gestapo in Germany, or the KGB in the Soviet Union, in the name of national security.
If this law were approved, we would be living in a nation that promotes and justifies mutual distrust something that would be contrary and unimaginable to the American forefathers who declared a Bill of Rights composed of one people and one united community that would not discriminate against someone because of their racial profile or nationality.
This law would encourage volunteer militant-vigilante-policemen in cities throughout the U.S. with the objective of reporting undocumented immigrants to collaborate with federal, state and local authorities. These watchful, nationalistic citizens who love their country would include police officers, professionals, teachers and citizens of all kinds. All of whom are prepared to offer time out of their lives in the name of strengthening and securing the peace of the nation.
Its time for our undocumented brothers to understand that they need to start their residency proceedings immediately, and that they should not jeopardize their immigration status by waiting for a national legalization program or for an extension of Section 245i.
Today, U.S. Representative John Culberson and 47 original cosponsors introduced H.R. 3622 to create the Border Protection Corps made up of citizen volunteers working as sworn law enforcement officers under the command of the Governors of the border States and working in cooperation with State and local law enforcement officials and the United States Border Patrol.
Border Protection Corps operations and the costs of detaining, housing and transporting foreign nationals taken into custody by the Corps or by state and local law enforcement would be paid for using the $6.8 billion in Homeland Security first responder funds that have been sitting unspent and untouched in the U. S. Treasury for over two years.
The Border Protection Corps Act invokes Congresss power under Article I, Section 8 of the U. S. Constitution to provide for calling forth organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, which H.R. 3622 defines as patrolling and defending the international border of the United States in order to prevent individuals from crossing the international border at any location other than an authorized port of entry.
We start by getting Washington to do its MANADATED JOB in protecting our borders and ridding this country of ILLEGAL INVADERS.
This law (HB3622) would encourage volunteer militant-vigilante-policemen in cities throughout the U.S. with the objective of reporting undocumented immigrants to collaborate with federal, state and local authorities.
Lord.
Gee, the article made it sound so BAD...
Neighborhood watch taken to the next level sounds long overdue.
Well said.
Good points in the article. Why, this bill, I hear, creates concentration camps with gas ovens and authorizes the president to deliberately starve tens of millions of people. Mass graves, the whole thing. Those Nazi's and Commies sure knew how to promote and justify mutual distrust. I mean, forget the concentration camps and the gulags, it was the fostering of mutual distrust that was Stalin and Hitler's real sin.
What bunk. Liberals either know nothing about history or they deliberately ignore it.
Great idea! Let's start NOW!
Where do I sign up?
WTF bill o rights are they talking about?
Methinks this is the view from South of The Border . .
It's a willful distortion the way the media constantly treats legal immigration the same as the illegals. It insults those who are following the law.
The Oregon border? 8>)
Where do I sign up?
We all need to be aware that congress will attempt to pass legislation that sounds good, but will have no impact on illegal immigration.
We currently have plenty of laws on the books that are not being enforced and need to be budgeted to staff and do the job. Arrest, incarcerate, identify, deport and keep them out.
