The girl holding the sign was wearing a ski mask. All around her were people chanting "today we march, tomorrow we vote." Up the street and around the corner from where she is, a group of boys are burning an American flag.
Is this a scene out of some bizarre new action film? No! It is a half million criminals demanding the right to break the law a bit more and to not be punished. And it's not on the street of some banana republic, its Los Angeles, Calif.
This last week has been a difficult one to stomach for many reasons. But the attitudes ignited by those who lawlessly and recklessly left school classrooms, crossed interstate highways, and burned American flags were just the tip of the iceberg.
This last week, the American people were reminded by the headlines that our unsecured borders are our biggest threat to our own safety. On Tuesday, we reported the successful attempt by government agents to smuggle nuclear materials across our borders. They successfully penetrated our border with more than enough raw materials to create two nuclear dirty bombs. Barely a word of this was seen on the nightly newscasts. And if they were able to get enough materials through for two nuclear weapons, how easy is it for people to cross the border with each of them carrying a backpack of never-yet-inspected goods? Those agents are now scheduled to testify before Sen. Norm Coleman's committee. Which is a good thing. Sen. Coleman is one of very few senators who seem to be taking our security issue seriously.
We also had to sit through the plethora of stories presented on the nightly newscasts that were designed to bring sympathy to those who have broken our laws and live here illegally. We in the MuscleHead Revolution make a big deal about this all the time, but "words mean things." I for one was offended to repeatedly hear those who whipped up the demonstrations this week referred to as "immigrant advocates." Yet it appeared in nearly every news story covering the events. They are not true advocates for real immigration and to label them as such defies honesty in their motives and grants them cover to allow them to continue their underground operations of human traffic.
This week, we also saw for the first time how much one sparsely populated state spends toward the services given to those who have no right to be here. Colorado is not a population, financial or cultural capital, yet even by their modest standards Colorado taxpayers will be coughing up an additional $ 1 billion dollars in aid. How long can a state like Colorado hemorrhage that kind of loss and not end up affecting services needed by citizens who have the right to expect services?
Then came the pictures. Flying the American flag in submission to the Mexican flag on taxpayer-funded public-school flagpoles seems to have become a new hobby.
Add to all this madness the fact that Arlen Specter and the Senate judiciary committee thought it was more important to provide continuing guest-worker status to those who have no right to be here, rather than to actually seal the border and the frustration only multiplied.
Chris Simcox of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps told me this week that the Border Patrol has detained more than 700 persons of Middle Eastern origin in the last two years. Fifty of these persons had official ties to al-Qaida. And a reminder for those who have already forgotten – 9-11 took only 19 persons.
It was encouraging to finally see some good poll numbers on the matter by Wednesday of this last week. Seventy-five percent of the American public does not believe that our government is doing enough to secure the borders. Ninety percent of the American people deem the illegal immigrant crisis "serious," and 57 percent of the American people deem it "very serious."
The question is: Why doesn't the U.S. Senate?
And to those of you who still think that McCain-Kennedy and a guest-worker program is going to solve the whole problem, let me pose a simple question: Why do the lawmakers in Washington, D.C., believe that those who refused to obey the laws that were already on the books will do anything, or be in any way motivated to obey new laws that are written to accommodate their presence here?
It's an good question.
And I would like a good answer.

Treason from within will not be tolerated.
If I recall my US history, TYRANTS and TYRANNY like we have in the White House and Senate will not be tolerated either. They can do their sworn duty and represent us citizens or resign if they don't have the stomach for it. They have done nothing but aid this growing problem by encouraging illegals with talk of guest workers and inaction on enforcement, they are the problem not the solution.
Excuse me, but am I the only one to notice them starting to a page out of the same book Hamas uses? So when do we start seeing the suicide attackers to further the illegal alien "cause"? Come on Congress Critters, if you don't do something we'll have the equivalent of Hamas in our own country.

Here's the deal:
The Mexican government wants veto power over U.S. imigration policy. Outrageously, many in our own government are assuming the Hyphenate-Fellate position and are only too happy to oblige, as long as there's votes and campaign contributions to be had.
The protestors--carrying Mexican flags---and the Mexican government share the same goals: legalize Mexican illegal aliens and keep the borders open. The Mexican government sees this as a way to relieve economic pressure on their government to reform the economy.
Mexico's leaders also work to retain the loyalty of the immigrant mobs so that, even if our laws allow them to become American citizens, they retain their loyalty to Mexico, and are subjects of the Mexican government.
In the Mexican Congress, it was recently announced that a document would be drafted, to show support for the protest marches in our country. The Mexican government published advertisements in leading American newspapers calling for the legalization of illegal immigrants (those in the United States, not in Mexico) and "a far-reaching guest workers scheme." Not only that, said the ads, but "in order for a US guest workers program to be viable, Mexico should participate in its design, management, supervision and evaluation."
Ruben Aguilar, spokesman for President Vicente Fox, made this statement to support the marches: "The recent protests carried out in different places in the United States are indicative of the imminent necessity of a migratory accord that corresponds to the interests of both countries, and that especially to the defense of the rights of migrants. The government of the (Mexican) Republic ratifies its commitment to the Mexicans who live in the United States and its intention to work in the defense of their rights ..."
EXHIBIT ONE: This is a direct violation of the Vienna Convention that prohbits foreign nationals from interferring in the political affairs of a host country. The Department of State‘s legal affairs office has stated that foreigners on American soil interfering in the internal affairs of the US is inconsistent with the 1963 Vienna Convention that prohibits visiting foreigners from interferring in the affairs of host countries.
EXHIBIT TWO: Congress provided in the Civil Rights Act of 1866 declaring persons born in the US who are subject to a foreign power are deemed to be non-citizens of the United States. That means children of immigrants---anchor babies---and any other individuals born here---who are running around carrying Mexican flags, and following the orders of the Mexican government, are not considered US citizens under the 1866 US Civil Rights law.
Sneaking across the border of the United States for the purpose of siezing territory falls under 'acts of war'.
This falls in between.
It is illegal to enter the country as a foreign national without going through the proper procedures.
It is illegal to become employed here without following the proper legal procedures.
It is illegal to work here and not pay taxes on the income unless other arrangements have been made by the US Government with your Country's government.
Maybe gun owners should take note. We have been trying to go by the rules and repeal infringements on a basic and Constitutionally protected Right with little success. One person forgets to dot the 'I's and cross tht 'T's and they get STOMPED by the US government.
Other people invade our country, breaking the law not in just one instance, but MILLIONS of instances, and the same government calls it a 'movement'.
This is a wholesale abdication of their Constitutional DUTY at the Federal Level to "provide for the common defense".
If we do not have the cojones to defend our own country as prescribed by our own, existing, laws, then we need new leadership, I do not give a rabid rat's ass what party they are affiliated with.
Things will not change there until they cannot come here and work.
One more thing. Go to the parts store and check out where brake drums, rotors, etc. come from: China or Mexico.
It seems we already exported a bunch of good paying American manufacturing jobs, and the herd is still coming north, only now, they are trampling our laws and our flag with increased disdain.
You cannot give someone freedom, only at best the opportunity to change their nation to be free. If they want capitalism in their country, they will have to change their own country or become Americans, in every sense of the word.
Does that mean we have to kick Mexico's ass AGAIN???
They don't. They're relying on those financing these schemes via taxes to be 'law abiding'.
We do not enforce our immigration laws because our distinguished members of Congress, in their great righteousness and august tradition, privately demand the head of any official who makes any attempt whatsoever to enforce immigration laws in any manner considered even vaguely offensive or encumbering to illegal immigrants, political contributors, or Hispanics generally or disproportionately. In another era, the Congress might write laws that say what they mean and mean what they say, but political considerations compel the distinguished members of Congress to approve legislation to eliminate illegal immigration to placate the voters. Because they also must placate their political contributors and dare not alienate Hispanics (as represented by the most leftist radical organizations among the group) or technically illegal voters, the distinguished members of Congress imperil the enforcement of such laws.
I would prefer the following.
ONLY Congress can pass laws. NO executive branch gets handed a blank slate to "promulgate rules" with the force of law, Congress alone gets the job.
Each bill can deal with one and only one subject. No monster omnibus acts, and no riders need apply.
Each bill must be simple enough in its content that at least 80% of any eighth grade class can understand the bill on first reading.
For every bill made into law, two existing laws must be repealed.
It would only take a hundred years or so for things to get back to manageable proportions.
All of those are good ideas, but I think the only workable solution in today's political climate is to limit the number of days congress is in session and to sunset all laws.
If we give them two months a year I believe the BS will be limited.
You must be smoking rope.
Most successful revolutions amount to about 2%-5% of the population. Lenin did in Kerensky with about 250,000; the French Revolution was about 225,000; the American Revolution 175,000 to 200,000. The balance of the population tries to get out of the way and will eventually support-passively-those that seem to be winning.
