Petition to the President: Secure Our Borders Immediately
http://www.reformus.org/ ^ | reformus.org

Posted on 08/06/2005 8:11:26 AM PDT by WillMalven

Mr. President, Please Secure Our Borders Immediately

It has been nearly four years since the 9/11 attacks inside our country by foreign nationals. Yet, tens of thousands of foreign nationals every few weeks continue to be allowed to enter this country illegally through our loosely guarded borders. All of these illegal entrants threaten American citizens in one way or another—either as unfair labor competition, tax burdens, instruments of organized crime including drug running and slavery, or as terrorists.

We can no longer allow such disorder on our borders. One of the clearest responsibilities of the federal government and of the President is to protect this country's citizens from attacks across our borders.

We urge you to direct your officials in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to create and institute plans to ensure that foreign nationals who attempt to cross our borders without permission will be (a) detected, (b) apprehended and (c) either removed from this country or detained for appropriate punishment under the law.

While your Administration is implementing long-term sustainable programs to achieve border security, we urge emergency measures that begin to provide the same protection immediately by mobilizing some combination, as necessary, of Border Patrol, other DHS personnel, the military, other federal personnel and technological tools. Various pilot programs at selected locations have proven that zero tolerance of illegal human traffic across our borders is achievable if the federal government places a priority on protecting its citizens. We submit our names with the appreciation of your consideration and action.

Thats cool. I am legal if I break into your house and stay in the center. Maybe I could wash dishes or something just so you would feel good about it when I bring my wife, my parents, my children, my dogs and cats and everything else that I want to. I am sure you would not paying all our medical expenses either. You are a very nice person.

Ben people who rob banks risk their lives to make the proceeds. They are criminals. Just as the people who risk their lives crossing the desert and the good olde "RIO GRANDE" are doing. One is just as much of a thief and law breaker as the other. Why our managing team chooses to turn their heads is beyond me? Especially with the wonderful record of behavior of these illegals after they get here. Send em home pronto!!!

Ben how about we look at it like this. I come to your place and set up camp. I bring in a well knocked up gal and send her to the emergency room. When they ask for the bill I say give it to "Ben". I know that there are some jobs out on the "frontway" to the interstate. I go ask for one. They say do you have documentation? I say no. They say "Thats OK you work cheap dontcha?" I say " SI". The college kid that holds down a job paying taxes takes a hike for this illegal that is worked off the books. But hey Ben you will pay to educate my kid because he was "the spawn of an illegal". Hey Ben how about I come in a totally screw up your neighborhood? I mean like the sixty people living in a house you have seen here. It is true. You wanna pay for it Ben. Property values and such? I doubt it. You sound like a slave trader to me Ben. One who profits off of cheap labor at my expense and the expense of others. I would like to take you hunting. We could discuss it further.

I guess what you two are saying is that the welfare state is muy bueno except for mexicans.

Instead of trying to take it away from just mexicans, you should take it away from everyone. Otherwise, the judge says no bueno

Welfare should not be given to illegal martians, Germans, Italians, french, Australians, little green men or Mexicans. do understand that? I was wondering when you would fall back to your fail safe position. That tactic will never work. Face it.

No Ben, what I am saying is that Mexicans who do not have documentation or the right to be in the USA should keep their collective asses South of the Border. SI AMIGO!!!!

Did you notice that Tancredo's reform bill makes no provision for removing the illegals.

Apparently he is falling in with Krikorian and admitting that the deportation of the illegals would create economic chaos.

I'm beginning to think that Tancredo is OBL.

If you are opposed to welfare for anyone, why do you single out the mexicans?

Ben Ben Ben, You should ask Mr. Tancredo what he wants to do with illegal aliens. I don't think you will like his answer Ben. Go back to go and start over. No status what so ever for being a criminal. Ben illegals are common criminals. As a matter of fact they are not so common. They are in violation of Federal Statutes. Now take you rhetoric down the road to Home Depot. There are a few down there that will listen to it. The rest are staying real quite and laying low. With good reason Ben.

I'm sure it is a big dis-appointment to you that Tancredo is advocating guest workers.

Is English your second language? I am against illegal aliens. I do not care where they are from. That is twice that I have wrote that. Surely you can understand plain English. Your fail safe does not work. Tell me why the US should give welfare to any illegal.

Of course you know that illegals are illegal only when they are in close proximity to the border.

Not exactly, they just deported a bunch from Arkansas who said "no" when they were asked if they had any children. That's pretty well the "center" of the US.

These "family oriented" people were happy to leave their children here when they were deported. Gov. Mike Huckabee is upset, not about them lying and leaving their own children, he's blames ICE for not knowing they were lying. Huckabee is very into illegal aliens.

I see your point, but I'd write that one off to the creeping PC bug spread through public education rather than the full-blown disease intentionally spread by the Media's Psych Warfare effort.

Perhaps some of the Free Indentured Servitude Trade folks on this thread would expound on this:

"We need Mexicans to serve as the poor our economy requires..."

I could try all day and not come up with anything that offensive.

You're right. When I first read the petition I thought about cutting and pasting the whole thing and then going through it and making all the corrections it desperately needs to dump all the politically correct BS. But then I decided I had better things to do on a Saturday.

Like I said, I'll not be signing this tribute to the politically correct. Our country had already been seriously damaged by this BS.

Yes exactly. I said the the defacto legal status is temporarily suspended during a recession.

To my post #75 you said: Yes exactly. I said the the defacto legal status is temporarily suspended during a recession.

I'm confused, are you saying there is a recession in Arkansas?

The US has a long history of immigration and well documented history of public opinion in regards to immigration.

Historically, public opposition to immigration follows the economy. When times are good, there is little opposition. When the economy goes south, public opposition flourishes. The patterns are the same on illegal immigration.

During the 90s when illegal immigration was high and the economy was booming, there was little opposition. When the recession began in 2001 that all changed.

You can see the same cycle in the recession of the 80s and again in the early 90s.
