"It is a sad day in this nation when people here illegally can storm the streets of our cities and demand U.S. taxpayers continue to provide them welfare, social service programs, free health care and the education of their children," proclaimed Curtis Collier, president of U.S. Border Watch. "If elected officials cannot fulfill their oath of office to defend this country and the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic, I demand they resign."
I second that. This is an invasion, and our elected officials are required to protect us from all threats foreign and domestic (one of government's few legitimate roles). It's time they ante up.
Can I second your second? ;)
Can't improve on perfection, the quote says it all and than some!
You've got that right. Right now, I say that any politician, regardless of party, who does not enforce the immigration and labor laws of this country is at least guilty of dereliction of duty and should be thrown out of office. Along with any politician giving encouragement to this INVASION by proposing amnesty and citizenship for these law breakers should also be thrown out of office and at least be investigated, if not actually put on trial for TREASON, SEDITION or a willful failure to enforce our nations immigration and labor laws and receive punishment according to what the law prescribes.
No. The Federal government has decided to abdicate one of the only roles that the Constitution specifically gave it. It now does just about everything that the founders did not intend for it to do, and little of what they intended it to do.
(a) They aren't going to resign;
(b) Some on the right might get voted out, but his/her spot will just be filled by a lefty and the situation will get worse;
(c) What is plan C?
Hidden Bombs (Extremely Important Article on Immigration)
The second nasty surprise? Just before the committee approved the bill on the evening of March 27, Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) offered the "DREAM Act" as an amendment. It passed on a voice vote.The DREAM Act is a nightmare. It repeals a 1996 law that prohibits state universities from offering in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens. The principle, of course, is that no illegal alien should be entitled to receive a taxpayer-subsidized benefit that out-of-state U.S. citizens can't get. But the committee's bill allows illegals to be treated better than those U.S. citizens on tuition.
Yes, it is an invasion....therefore, it's time to put our troops on the border and not the NG....US ARMY, US MARINES...it's time to protect America first...
Well stated.
I third it!
