Unfortunately, our government will fail us on this issue. We are truly witnessing a process that will rip apart this once great Republic. Unless a leader arises with the strength and courage to lead Congress and the nation to act decisively, we are doomed. Seeing the Mexican flag flying in this country in defiance made my blood boil. It would be easy to deport millions of illegals -- we just need the will. WWII was much more difficult and we arose to the occasion. The idiots who say it is impossible only wish to our Republic die (to their joy)
I saw a man on O'Reilly last night, he was debating Michelle Malkin and he finally fessed up to what their plan is. It's to turn North America into a European Union. Which means, we will have open borders, the US will provide all of the work, our people can reap all of the benefits like healthcare and education etc. and we (the mexican goverment) won't have to be responsible for anything. Just like it is now.
The Mexican goverment has alot at stake here, basically their whole economy, money wired back is second only to oil revenue. They have come to rely on the sugar teat of the US. Too bad, it's time to end it now.
Oh, and another thing that just flabbergasted me, a caller suggested to Sean Hannity that the mexican people reform their own goverment. His response was, it would be to hard and take generations. Thank god Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Ben Franklin et al didn't think that way!!!!!!!
This argument over illegal immigration goes to the heart of our American project of self-government. It is about the people reasserting their sovereign rights as citizens to govern themselves through democratically enacted legislation. It is about whether the people's will (and not that of a wealthy and unaccountable ruling elite) will be honored by our elected officials and whether our democratically enacted laws will be enforced by our chief executive -- the President. In short, it is about whether the 219 year old experiment in republican self-government won for us by our founders will be declared officially null and void and replaced by the rule of a political and business oligarchy that substitutes its private interest and agendas for the common good.
"We the people" have made our wishes to control our borders and prevent businesses from hiring illegal aliens loud and clear for decades yet we have had imposed on us by our elected officials an open borders, no enforcement policy that we have rejected time and again. We need a majority of the House members to loudly call for the President to protect our borders and stop trying to force an amnesty program down our throats again. If the President refuses to perform his oath of office and enforce our democratically enacted laws then the House should bring impeachment charges.
Americans are being victimized every day at the hands of criminal illegal immigrants and the President and Congress share blame in each and every crime an illegal immigrant commits as well as for all the economic harm caused by the illegal invasion of our nation. By his ongoing failure to enforce the democratically enacted laws against illegal immigration President Bush has shown his contempt both for democratic self-governance and the American people. His arrogant refusal to perform his constitutional duty should be met with the one remedy provided by the Constitution to protect the people against the usurpation of their legislative authority -- impeachment. It is now well past time for Congress to assert the rights of the American people to self-government.
If they do they must be removed from office.
