Thank you for the ping!
He's right and it's so damn unnecessary.
Stunning in reality.
Worth the read.
Here is something Representative King said which is still ringing in my ears:
There is no job Americans will not do. The hottest, most difficult, dirtiest and dangerous job in the world is rooting terrorists out of Fallujah. Marines are doing that job for $8.09 an hour.
That has stuck with me too.
I wish it fit in the tagline area!
Thanks again, for the ping to this posting.
I am going to ping some others.
US Representative STEVE King, merits our support!

You're welcome Norm. Glad you liked reading Rep. King's article.
This is a great article. Rep. King is great to listen to when he's giving a special order speech after the House concludes their regular business session.
Fernando Ortiz was a ‘landscape engineer’ on Long Island who had demanded to be able to vote, on the basis that he had been paying state and federal taxes for ten years. Actually, he had been stopped from casting a ballot by a poll watcher who had suspected his citizenship status, and (illegally, as it turned out) demanded proof of his identity and legal qualification to vote. Ortiz had won a multi-million dollar settlement against the Republican Party of New York in the subsequent “racial profiling and ethnic intimidation” civil suit, but he did not stop there.
Instead, with massive support from the ACLU and various Hispanic “immigrants rights” foundations, he had pressed his demand to be allowed to vote all the way to the Supreme Court…and he won. The Supreme Court, in its famous 5-4 decision, ruled that negligence in securing America’s borders against illegal immigration on the part of the federal government, could not be held against “undocumented workers who played by the rules and paid their taxes,” once they were established in America—legally or not. The federal government had not taken reasonable efforts to secure the border, and had not pursued "undocumented workers" in the USA. Instead, it openly permitted them most of the benefits of citizenship, and it collected their taxes. "No taxation without representation!" was the cry heard all the way to the Supreme Court. The State of New York had then sleep-walked through an aimless and desultory case for denying the vote—and citizenship—to “undocumented workers.”
Following Ortiz v. New York, a stunned America woke up to discover that there were not only an amazing twenty-two million illegal aliens hiding in plain sight across the land, but that eight million of them immediately qualified to vote. In a nation split 50-50 down party and ideological lines, these eight million new voters were recognized to be the certain majority-makers in future elections, and both parties set record lows for cravenness in pandering to their “needs.” Chief among their “needs” were liberal new family reunification laws, and these instant citizens—illegal aliens only a year before—began bringing the remainders of their families to the USA. Legally.
Overnight, wavering Democrat states became locks, and swing states with large Hispanic populations went solidly “blue.” The result was the recent election which had brought Gobernador Deleon to power in Nuevo Mexico, and had also brought radical Democrats to power in the White House and both houses of congress.
Thus had come the political tsunami which swept all before it, a tidal wave triggered by an undocumented lawn maintenance worker named Fernando Ortiz.
He's GOOD. Look at post # 104.
For emphasis.
I never thought for one minute that you were writing fiction. The true names are all that's missing.
Bump!
At least someone in Congress understands.
The height of hubris is believing that new immigrants will vote GOP. If the president thinks he can buy future votes for the GOP, he's sadly mistaken. One only needs to look at those counties bordering Mexico in the last election- solid blue. If he is successful with his quasi-amnesty (guest worker) program the GOP will stay in control, but this country won't be worth living in. If he's not successful and reason wins the day, the libs may come to power anyway due to all of the votes they've already bought and this country won't be worth living in 20 years earlier. Bottom line- Time to get out of Dodge. The republic is lost.
This is exactly why history has shown that democracies fail. The poor vote to take wealth away from the rich, the rich move elsewhere, the country falls into ruin because there's no one left to pay the bills, end of story.
