Lincoln said no foreign army could ever defeat America, cross our mountains, or dip his toe in the Mississippi - unless we defeated ourselves first from within.

You've got to hand it to Americans.
If ever there was a group of people more patient, more willing to turn the other cheek, more forgiving and tolerant – I just don't know who it would be.
Every day now, it seems, hundreds of thousands of ungrateful human parasites rally in American cities condemning their host country's lack of hospitality.
Think about this.
Somewhere around 20 million foreigners have entered this country illegally and stayed here – taking advantage of America's health-care system, educational system, welfare system, taxing its criminal justice system and competing for jobs with those at the very lowest of the economic ladder.
They have taken advantage of loopholes in our laws by dropping babies in this country who automatically become U.S. citizens, despite the illegal entry and presence of the parents.
They have forced Americans to spend hours a year listening to voice-mail operators give them language options. They have forced Americans to pay the cost of bilingual ballots and for Spanish translators at thousands of government agencies. The very character of our once-cohesive English-speaking country is threatened.
These invaders have made it easy for drug dealers, criminals and terrorists to hide behind the skirts of ordinary civilians.
After all this – and after U.S. officials steadfastly refuse to enforce the immigration and border security laws already on the books – amazingly, it is not Americans out in the streets protesting, it is the illegal invaders.
What is it that they are protesting?
The mere threat of action by lawmakers who have been asleep at the switch for the last 25 years. That's what has prompted this uprising by the army of illegal aliens within our midst.
I would have thought by now that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Americans would be rising up angry, filling the streets and protesting the destruction of their country. But that is not the case. It is the people destroying the country who are showing their strength.
And while these protesters hurl mean-spirited verbal attacks at their hosts – calling them bigots and racists and intolerant – Americans sit back and watch.
I'm afraid most Americans have been successfully fattened up for slaughter. We're just not the same people our forebears were. We're not willing to make sacrifices to preserve our freedom and independence and system of self-government. Washington knows this and has decided you are irrelevant.
As wrong as the illegal invaders are, you've got to hand it to them. They know how to push their weight around, and they are willing to march in the streets to get their way. How many Americans are willing to do that any more? How many are willing to make any sacrifice for the way of life they were given by their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents?
Brave men gave their lives for over two centuries to defend our Constitution, our independence and the right of the people to govern themselves under the rule of law. For what? So that a slow invasion over 25 years could take away everything Americans had so gallantly fought to protect?
I'm sitting here astonished today – watching the latest demonstrations in Phoenix and Dallas and Pittsburgh and all over the country. Thousands of non-Americans with nothing better to do than show their strength, wave their flags, thumb their noses at our laws and dare us to do something about it.
They are darn lucky I am not running the country. I would order mass arrests at these events, forcing every single participant to prove their legal right to be in this country or face deportation.
I keep hearing about how expensive it would be to find all of the illegals and deport them. They are making it very easy for us with these rallies. The fact that no one is even suggesting roundups shows just how far gone our country is.
I agree, but it isn't just the president that is missing the boat, so to speak. He is aided and abetted by our professional political class who are now tripping over themselves to out-pander any prospective opponents. Our congress critters have decided that the American electorate is stupid, lazy, forgetful, and totally irrelevant. They are moving on to the rich, largely untapped illegal segment for votes, and their lust for power knows no bounds.
All one needs to know about the current battle for votes from this huge new bloc of voters, one can learn from listening to Hillary's blatant pandering of late. It is so transparent that only a certified idiot couldn't see through it. It is also a brilliant strategy that will garner her the grand prize in 2008. The one thing the pandering bastards have figured correctly is to never underestimate the stupidity of the general population.
I doubt we have as much as ten good years left as a viable country. I hate to say it, but I miscalculated George W. Bush. He has blown a golden opportunity to be remembered as one of the greatest ever by allowing -- make that promoting -- this current outrageousness; he now epitomizes the "For Sale" mentality of our so-called national leadership.
Lincoln said no foreign army could ever defeat America, cross our mountains, or dip his toe in the Mississippi - unless we defeated ourselves first from within.
We cannot arrest and deport this many enemies, so we may as well surrender.
Well you have heard about how to boil a frog ,you dont throw him into boiling water ,you put him in cold and just slowly turn up the heat ,well folks we are about done
What are we going to do if and when the thousands, maybe millions left in Mexico wanting to move here, start marching towards the border en masse? Build a fence, begin deporting them as often as they are caught. Begin with those in prison, dump them over the border. Make everyone prove citizenship to work, those with fake documents, deport them. Make all prove citizenship to receive benefits, deport illegals.
You will worry MORE if there is a wall built? What shall we do, spend money patrolling a border that is nothing but a line on the map? Without a solid border fence or wall, the job is impossible.
"Do you really think the Democrat voters will dump their guys?"
Do you think Republicans will either???
It's akin to the last scene in Animal Farm where the animals can't be told apart any longer. If you want to stem the invasion let's recall the military from overseas, put them on the borders and start rounding up the illegals as they seek benefits in every city in the US. The UN needs to go as well. They serve no purpose except to suckle on the teat of American taxpayers. Send RINOs a message and vote them out. If you want true conservative representation then go out and find it - and if not in the GOP go elsewhere!
How many empty military bases are there? Build the wall/fences, arrest then deport after cutting off ALL social services, and changing the citizenship rules.
Sorry, but you're not going to find it anywhere else. It's the Republicans vs the Democrats. No other party stands a snowball's chance in hell. You can quote me on that.
They don't want to assimilate. They want to be legal to work here but keep their Mexican citizenship. They want us to become like to EU and come and go as they please, yet if they work in the US they are eligible to receive our benefits. Mexico needs them to work here and get the education and healthcare, if we provide it they don't have to, in the meantime the money sent home fuels their economy. They don't have to do anything. Vincente Fox is like a pimp sending his ho's out and getting a cut of what they make. And as for doing jobs nobody else wants to do, bull, they are putting American workers out of business.
Todays's Mexicans are not like the Irish of long ago. What aided the Irish assimilation were a number of things. The Irish still (in most cases) spoke English. Secondly, there wasn't the disparity between the Irish immigrants and our own native born with regards to the average skill level and education levels. Today, nearly 60% of all Latin American (adult) immigrants that we take in on an anual basis don't even have the equivalent of a high school diploma. Third, immigration out of Ireland was nothing like the mass migration out of south of the border. The logistics involved are completely different. Mexico shares an 1,100 mile border with the U.S.. The Irish didn't have the exponential growth rate continually reinforced by an unending flood of new migrants from their home country. These are major differences.
A wall would be great if done right. Symbolically it would only offend those who were hell bent on circumventing our immigration laws in the first place. I say, "screw them". As far as someone trying to blast their way through the wall, I can think of no better way for a group of idiots to attract attention to themselves and provoke the entire law enforcement community to go after them. Precisely the kind of thing one would want to avoid if you are trying to "smuggle" yourself across the border.
What an asinine argument.
I have been psuedo-blogging, for years, a couple of the elements in WWIV ( III being the Cold War ), in which we find ourselves engaged.
The first element?
Islam, a Religion of Peace®? ( links, blogs, quips, quotes, aggravating pictures ) is located here- click the Pic, and scroll backwards:
The other, somewhat interlocking element is this one:
"Thunder on the Border," click the picture:
What is happening under the radar is that the alien lobby, certain elements of radical Islam, and some on the Left share common goals, tactics, and exploitations of our system and society.
Not a conspiracy, but rather a "coming together on common points."
You don't. Instead you close the borders to prevent the real bad guys from coming here (terrorists). Forbid illegals from obtaining free medical care, welfare, schooling for their children, etc., etc. Fine employers of illegals $100K for every illegal they employ. If we dry up the jobs and the free ride, a lot of them will leave on their own.

Had they stayed in mexico and demanded their rights they might have had a better Country. They are only willing to fight those they know they can bully and Bush has let them know he's got their back.
Thanks ever so much for the link to George Allen. He DID vote for CAFTA and would love to take our guns away from us. George Allen is nothing but a Rockefeller Republican which is worse than a Democrat.
All the INS has needed over the last couple weeks is a supply of cattle prods and troop transport planes....these criminals have been in plain sight!
