Out of My Face: Charlie Daniels on Illegal Immigration
CDB SoapBox ^ | April 10, 2006 | Charlie Daniels

Posted on 05/05/2006 9:01:33 AM PDT by stainlessbanner

One of the big problems in America today is that if you have the nerve to say anything derogatory about any group of people (except Christians) you are going to be screamed at by the media and called a racist, a bigot and anything else they can think of to call you.

Well I’ve been pounded by the media before and I’m still rockin’ and rollin’ and when it comes to speaking the truth I fear not. And the truth is that the gutless, gonad-less, milksop politicians are just about to sell out the United States of America because they don’t have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the face reality.

And reality is that we would never allow any other group of people to have 12 million illegals in this country and turn around and say, “Oh it’s ok, ya’ll can stay here if you’ll just allow us to slap your wrist.”

And I know that some of you who read this column are saying “Well what’s wrong with that?” I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it. These people could be from Mars as far as we know. We don’t know who they are, where they are or what they’re up to and the way the Congress is going we’re not going to.

Does this make sense? Labor force you say? We already subsidize corporate agriculture as it is, must we subsidize their labor as well?

If these people were from Haiti or if they were from Somalia or Afghanistan would we be so fast to turn a blind eye to them? I think not.

All the media shows us are pictures of hard working Hispanics who have crossed the border just to try to better their life. They don’t show you pictures of the Feds rounding up members of MS 13, the violent gang who came across the same way the decent folks did. They don’t tell you about the living conditions of the Mexican illegals some fat cat hired to pick his crop.

I want to make two predictions.

No. 1: This situation is going to grow and fester until it erupts in violence on our streets while the wimps in Washington drag their toes in the dirt and try to figure how many tons of political hay they can make to the acre.

No 2: Somebody is going to cross that border with some kind of weapon of mass destruction and set it off in a major American city after which there will be a backlash such as this country has never experienced and the Capitol building in Washington will probably tilt as Congressmen and Senators rush to the other side of the issue.

I don’t know about you but I would love to see just one major politician stand up and say, “I don’t care who I make mad and I don’t care how many votes I lose, this is a desperate situation and I’m going to lead the fight to get it straightened out.”

I don’t blame anybody for wanting to come to America, but if you don’t respect our immigration laws why should you respect any others.

And by the way, this is America and our flag has stars and stripes. Please get that other one out of my face.

Pray for our troops

Thank you for playing by the rules. I think you would be surprised how many Americans are very concerned about the mess legal immigrants face because many of us have friends and family who have suffered and waited for years to make their way through the maze of the immigration bureaucracy. That is one of the reasons we are so angry about illegal aliens--because it is a slap in the face to the many legal immigrants who are playing by the rules.

In the brouhaha of illegal immigration, I am noticing that no one is paying attention to the problems legal immigrants are facing....I understand that not many people would care about what I am saying but still have to try....

I care about what you're saying and I care about you, no matter what numbers and letters you have on your visa. If you are here legally and following the rules then the immigration process should be made easy for you. Many of our government programs are difficult to navigate through, and immigration has probably been made more difficult due to security needs after 9/11. My suggestion would be to try not to get too frustrated with government regulations. I've heard of other people who made it through and became American citizens. They said the system was not easy and they were glad they didn't have to do it again. I wish you the best of luck and thank you for being a good citizen. And thanks for posting on Free Republic!

I think Charlie Daniels needs to become a Minuteman, if he isn't already.
