President Bush spoke yesterday in Los Angeles on the subject of immigration reform. For the life of me I cannot figure out what is motivating his stance on this subject.
Bush, speaking to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, insists that any immigration bill passed by the Congress be "comprehensive." Just exactly does he mean by "comprehensive." Glad you asked. He means that a bill that simply provides for tighter border security and harsher punishment for employers who hire people who are in this country illegally will not satisfy his demands. We're being invaded. Some of the invaders crossing our borders refer to themselves as "reconquistadors." If you don't hablo Espanol, let me help you. They are calling themselves "re-conquerors." Many of them ... who knows what percentage ... are not just here to find some better-paying work so they can send dinero back home ... they are here to conquer and establish political control of huge parts of the American Southwest. If their purposes were entirely benign, why would they print articles in major Mexican magazines bearing headlines like "Los Angeles is ours!"
Can anyone reading this or listening to me on the radio think of one job -- one duty owed this country by the man we made president that is more solemn, more serious, more important than to use whatever resources he may have at his disposal to turn back an invasion of our homeland? Does the president's duty to protect and defend our borders only come into play if the invasion force is carrying guns?
This particular invasion force doesn't need guns. They're going to have a more potent weapon, the ballot. What does this "fast-track" to citizenship that Bush is so insistent upon really mean? That means a fast track to putting ballots in the hands of those we now call illegal aliens. This is the ultimate goal of President Bush, Ted Kennedy, John McCain and others. In fact, movements are already underway in many states and municipalities to grant full voting rights to non-citizens, and in some cases illegal aliens!
Think of the strength behind a ballot! Americans have been using ballots for hundreds of years to change leadership, to punish political wrongdoing, and to reward political courage. Americans now gleefully use this weapon to gain access to the property of others, and this they do without a moment's thought given to their legal form of plunder. A ballot can be used to change our very way of life in this country. A ballot can be used to gain access to the pockets of every single working American. A ballot can be used to open the floodgates even further to an broader invasion force. A ballot can be used to destroy our rights to property and to diminish our standing as free and independent individuals. What happens when this weapon is placed in the hands of tens of millions of people who had no respect whatsoever for the laws of this country, millions of people who broke the law coming here and broke the law by staying! What happens when this weapon is placed in the hands of people who show no desire whatsoever to assimilate into American culture; people who show disdain for our language and our customs; people who wave flags of their homeland instead of the banner of the United States as they demonstrate for their undeserved amnesty.
President Bush says that the " vast majority of illegal immigrants are decent people." Sorry, Mr. President. They're criminals. Criminals are not generally regarded as decent people, except perhaps by politicians. The decent people you speak of are the ones still in Mexico, still in Guatemala, still in Honduras and Colombia. The decent people are the ones who visit the American embassy or consulate to begin the arduous task of applying for permission .... legal permission to enter the United States. The decent people, Mr. President, wait patiently day after day for that magical notice to arrive from U.S. officials telling them that the American people await their arrival as legal, law abiding new neighbors.
Never in my 37 years of talk radio have I seen a time when the politicians inside the beltway have been so completely and thoroughly out of touch with the American people. Eight out of ten Americans want the border between the U.S. and Mexico sealed. These Americans have somehow developed the attitude that the people they send to Washington to make decisions related to our national security have some sort of a duty to recognize an invasion when it is happening, and to take steps to stop it. They don't want Bush's "comprehensive" approach. They want a direct, focused approach. Criminals are pouring across our borders, and they want it stopped. Now. These Americans do not want amnesty for those who have wantonly and brazenly ignored our laws.
The House Republican leadership is talking a tough game right now. No amnesty. No guest worker program. But ... right now that's all it is. Talk. If Speaker Hastert and Majority Leader Boehner want to insure that Nancy Pelosi will occupy the Speaker's office come next January all they have to do is cave in to Bush and the Senate with a comprehensive plan embracing anything that looks, smells or tastes like amnesty. I think I have some sort of a sense of what people are fired up about, and believe me, this issue has people burning mad.
I totally agree with him.....why are the politicians giving away our country...
Absolutely! Boortz rocks!
Even though many of us have already written, called and faxed our Representatives, it would be a good time to do so again.
This time, add Hastert and Boehner to your list! When congress thinks we've grown weary or distracted, we lose. Keep the pressure on!

I sent another NumbersUSA fax to my congressman yesterday.
>>>I totally agree with him.....why are the politicians giving away our country...>>>
They are not giving it away!! They are selling it to the highest bidder (ie: number of hispanic votes)
Too bad the politicians are so short sighted that they cannot comprehend that the very second they are able, they will replace them with hispanic politicians. Not saying that we do not need/want hispanic politicians, I did not mean that in a racial way. What I mean is that the 'reconquistadors' will put their own politicians in there that will serve thier reconquistador effort.
I don't understand how we stand up and preach to everyone about freedom and human rights, yet we treat Vincente Fox and the mexican goverment as are best friends. 60% of Mexico, which is rich in natural resources, is controled by just 40 FAMILIES!!!!! IT IS THE 12TH RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!! They are as corrupt as they come and we turn a blind eye to it, and take in their peasants. They don't have to lift a damn finger to help their own people.
It's easy. TransUS superhighway to open the corridor from Mexico to Canada, NAFTA, and the North American Community...
We may not want a euro-style organization, that is what the powers that be want and nothing we want counts.
Changing the guard by voting in the other guys won't change the process. It will proceed and some people will gain lots, not me, btw and probably not Boortz or other pawns in this game.
Elections coming up so the PTB will once again be raving about homosexual marriage, abortion and "values that Americans hold dear" to keep the serfs in line.
Face it. They think we are stupid.
Good for you! Care to share a link to the numbers?
Neal must be slipping, I read through it and saw no references to his book.
Right on Boortz.
Tell it like it is.
President Bush says that the " vast majority of illegal immigrants are decent people."
WRONG
He would have been equally as wrong if he had said " the vast majority of elected Democrats are decent people". Democrats he has recently sided with and who have sided with him such as Teddy Kennedy and Dick Durbin. Or the decent appearing Democrats who matter of factly threaten shooting him between the eyes. Bush is very very lost. He is clueless when it comes to discerning who wishes him and his country harm and those who wish this country and him well.
Numbers USA. You have to sign up but the faxes are sent for free.

what GWB means by "comprehensive" is that he is not going to seal the border.
He is right.
I play a game listening to Neal's show. I change the station from his show then back to it. Then I begin counting the number of seconds it takes him to say, "Okay?". The average is around nine.
'Written, called and faxed,' the same old same-old. Why expect different effects from the same old causes? Until our representatives respect the electorate and fear their constituents nothing will change.
Letters! Hah. Turn 'em out. If enough discipline can't be mustered to make good on that objective then we get the government we deserve, democracy, the rule of fools by fools.
What does it say of an elected leader afraid to face his armed constituency? The uninfringed Second Amendment is a fine for me litmus test.
"It smacks of one-world governments, socialist/Marxist agendas and eradication of our sovereignty."
It's hard to discern at this point because the form is not in place and clear to see.
I'm thinking, IMVHO, what we are witnessing is Clinton's third way being incorporated into a corporate governance. It won't be pure socialism or Marxism, but it will not be pure corporatism either. In fact, the idea of pure democracy isn't there, either. It seems to be a return to some type of feudalism, albeit in a modern form without a royalty, the money interests taking their place.
I wonder how much the massive debt people are under plays into this?
And as always, this is FWIW..
Back to the swamp! At least I only to fight mosquitoes there!
