Well there you go, the illegals won
NO is a rwo effin' letter word. Which letter can't they read?
Actually the liberals won
Not yet. This hasn't gotten past the House yet.
Indeed. The game is up. There is no turning back now.
I've posted this before, but it's worth repeating:
Is that all there is?
Do you remember that old song that was a hit for Peggy Lee:
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
Well, if that's all there is,
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all...
I've come to the conclusion that there is almost nothing left that can be done to save ourselves from the Immigration Bomb. Time is running out. We are fast approaching the threshhold of "is that all there is?", and, as it will follow, the reality of "if that's all"...
Any talk of actually sending back the millions already here is met with guffaws and opprobrium. Who's going to send back 20 million? Or 5 million? Or even 500,000? Yet each and EVERY new arrival is (to paraphrase James Q. Wilson) "one more broken window" to our notion (and nation) of borders, citizenship, and European-American culture. And each and every new arrival sends a signal to the millions more waiting to come in, "you can get away with it, so, go for it!"
For the record, I'm for sending back every illegal that can be identified and proven as such. Every one. If that means I have to pay more taxes to be rid of them, so be it. I (and you) are certainly going to be paying far more to support them for the rest of their lives here (and the lives of their descendants).
Any talk of building a security barrier to protect our Southern Border from the illegal onslaught is also met with guffaws. No one in this forum can doubt the effectiveness of the Israeli security fence as to protecting their own borders against the infiltration of Palestinian terrorists. If a security fence around [nearly] the entire country of Israel can protect them against intrusion of malevolent invaders, why wouldn't a security barrier on our southern border protect _us_?
For the record, I advocated building a wall from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico 'way back in the early 90's, before Pat Buchanan (or anyone else) was even considering such notions. I've been to the Berlin wall (when it was in existence), seen it from _both_ sides, passed through Checkpoint Charlie. For the purposes it was intended, the Berlin Wall worked. It provided a well-defined point of demarcation and kept those on one side _out_ of the other.
The lie that the border cannot be sealed against unwanted intruders and properly policed was laid to rest by the few hundred "Minutemen" patrolling in Arizona - for even in their small numbers, they seemed to produce a surprising effect!
But real deportations en masse aren't going to happen (I know that).
And a security barrier isn't going to be built (I know that too).
And so does everyone reading this posting.
So what's left to be done?
Well, if you stop to think about it.... nothing.
Because nothing else can effectively keep the hordes of illegals from pouring across the borders. We won't stop them from coming in, and once here, we won't send them back. We'll even guarantee them benefits equal to - or better than - what actual American _citizens_ can receive.
Thus, "is that all there is?"
So, better get used to it. Since neither political party will ever be willing to take the hard steps to STOP the illegal invasion, you might as well fill your glass with whatever you like, hoist it high, and drink a hearty toast our fading civilization.
Because as the song says, "that's all"....
