IMMIGRATION ON THE HILL: AN ILLUSION OF PROGRESS? ("Teddy, crossover the bridge to the real world")
NY POST ^ | May 22, 2007 | VOX POPULI

Posted on 05/22/2007 4:13:50 AM PDT by Liz

*****.......In 1965, when he pushed the Hart-Celler immigration-reform bill, Kennedy told us our cities would not be flooded with millions of immigrants. While the ethnic mix of Hyannis hasn't changed much, perhaps he should take a ride over the bridge to visit the real world. Bayville

***** ...... I will not support any presidential candidate who supports this pending legislation. Sun City, Ariz.

***** .....Why can't America do better than elect these obscene Congress critters we are plagued with? They are more interested in gaining votes and political power than in protecting America......Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Kennedy aren't looking out for you. Portland, Ore.

***** The government should hire the unemployed to go house to house to verify that the people living there are native-born Americans and legal immigrants. If not, those people should be detained or sent back to their native countries, and any child born in this country to illegal parents should be stripped of his citizenship. Utica

***** The great idea our politicians came up with is a $5,000 fine. The government will get that - in Monopoly money, maybe.Hicksville

***** In 1985, the government was going to fix the problem with a comprehensive immigration bill, but it only made things worse. Now, 22 years later, another sham bill has been conjured up. ......These senators, some of whom were in the Senate in 1985, must be nuts. This new bill is useless; like most of the other stuff they do in DC, it's all smoke and mirrors. Brooklyn

***** It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this would be a boon to the Democratic Party and a disaster for the GOP. When all these new citizens are able to vote, the Republican Party will be the permanent minority party. Muncy Valley, Pa.

It's amazing Teddy did not add a provision that would force US taxpayers to cough up billions of their hard-earned dollars for the specific purpose of shoring up the "self-esteem" of illegals who we are "forcing" to cross the border to come live in the US and break our laws.

Suprised he doesn’t get us to payfor swimming lessons to teach Mexicans how to swim across the Rio Grande.

It’s a joke, most just walk across.

He is the youngest of the 4 brothers and has done accomplished so much left-wing damage to our country since becoming a senator. Had the other 3 lived, would there even be a world to stand on?

Teddy needs lots of low-paid landscapers to keep his Hyannis property looking spiffy.

Teddy, Bush, McCain, Graham, et. al. all know it’s just a matter of time. Wait till the anchor babies register to vote. They will be voting reparations for madre and padre based on their years of “slavery” and sufferance at the hands of America.

Surreal, isn’t it? These foolish traitors must know something that we don’t know. Do they think when the sellout is accomplished, their new masters will be lenient? I could say that a lot better, but right now I’m angry, upset, and more than a little scared over our future as a country.

Someone really ought to erect a statue to Mary Jo on the Mall for keeping this reprobate out of the White House. She really DID give her life for her country.

The joke around Boston – whose residents keep sending this moron back to Washington (probably to keep THEIR daughters safe) -- used to be that Teddy was down to his last brain cell. Looks like even THAT one finally gave up the ghost.

I have been trying real hard to understand this. Why can't they see the destruction this will cause?

What I have come up with is this:

They are so protected, financially and physically, that they are unable to comprehend anything they do could cause the ruin of the U.S. They think that the U.S. is strong economically, and that strength must surely trickle down to us, that it's virtually impossible to wreck it.

It's pure form of arrogance. Think about it. Bush is adamant about "protecting" us in Iraq but is willing to leave our doors (pocketbooks) open to anyone able to crawl over the border. He simply can't see that it's possible for his "benevolence" to cause ruin.

The others are in it for the votes and the image it gives them. They seem to simply be jumping on the "hispanic (Mariachi) bandwagon". They see the takeover as inevitable and want to be in good with our new "patrons".

The Illegal Immigration Pathway to Embezzelement Act will go down in history as the most egregious act of non-aggressive war ever foisted upon the American people.

May the politicians come to their senses before the you-know-what hits the fan.

You’re right!

And now we must add the ELITES – and elite wannabes — in the Senate de Estados Unitos to the list of those who have sold out our formerly sacred birthright.

As early as 10 years ago, when he was my representative, I was a regular at Newt’s Town Hall Meetings where I spoke in support of the FairTax. 70% or more of the others who took the mike were visibly ANGRY ABOUT THE FAILURE TO STOP THE GROWING FLOW OF ILLEGALS! (At several sessions, Newt suggested the 100,000 IRS agents be given weapons and sent down to the border with Mexico.)

Under Bush, that flow became a TORRENT!

I attempted to phone Isakson’s and Chambliss’ Senate offices on 5-21-07. In both cases, my call was dumped into a voice mailbox – where a cheery female voice informed me “The mailbox is full.”

They CLEARLY don’t care WHAT we think

JUST DON’T FORGET IN NOVEMBER ’08!

In ABSTRACT terms, this is the conspiratorial view of what’s going on vis-à-vis the INVASION of the illegals here:

The current alien invasion from the south serves BOTH the elites who run Mexico – and many of the OTHER states of Central and South America — and the political ruling class who increasingly run the United States:

· It takes pressure off the 60 or so families who control approximately 80% of the wealth in Mexico. Without the northern “safety valve” (the United States) for their poor, those poor MIGHT be inclined to do what America’s early colonists found it necessary to do: Revolt! Parenthetically, that would be MY suggestion for them: Instead of fleeing here – and converting “here” to a larger, more poverty infested version of “there,” they ought to stay there and make “there” into their version of “here,” whatever that would be. Revolutions ARE messy and there are no guarantees that they will produce the desired result. But – according to one T. Jefferson – they are often necessary. Never forget that THIS country was born in revolution!

· For the NAFTA/CAFTA coveting US national ruling class – especially those who, in varying degrees, quest after some sort of One-World utopia run by guess who? – it provides yet another level of insecurity and tension among the indigenous populace which can be used to justify new and more draconian limits to freedom here. Instead of securing the borders, allow millions of illegals to come in and when the natives become alarmed, require a national ID card. “Your papers, please!” will soon become a phrase familiar to all. It’s Mr. Franklin’s trade of freedom for (false) security. It’s also the time-tested Hegelian Dialectic the One-Worlders have successfully worked like a rented mule.

While they occasionally squabble among themselves, the elites of history have ALL had one thing in common: They will do ANYTHING to remain in charge. And throughout that history, except for the 230 year-old experiment in freedom called “America,” most of the men who have walked the earth have lived as slaves to these elites whether they call themselves kings, emperors, potentates, sultans, czars – or presidents.

Get ready, folks. Unless some SERIOUS changes are made and the handful of Americans who CARE about liberty get involved, that history will almost certainly repeat here.

Now for the SPECIFICS of the matter:

My take on Bush’s role in all of this is:
1. His long and apparently positive experience with the large hispanic population in Texas is largely responsible for his inaction on this alien invasion. And why wouldn’t HIS experience with them be positive as he traveled in the highest, best-educated circles among them, not the Hispanic gangbangers and pine-straw spreaders...
2. His brother Jeb is married to a native of Mexico and his nieces and nephews are mixed blood. And before you scream “ethnocentric bigot” at me, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. But that fact — and the first item — DOES predispose him to a warm and fuzzy feeling for folks from south of the Rio Grande.
And if — in some strange and metastasizing American desire for a new royal family dynasty — Jeb should win the White House, I’d bet that HIS activities toward this alien invasion will make W’s behavior look like a warm-up exercise.

Any vestige of white European culture will be a distant memory.

Okay, now I remember. It was amazing to see the fawning here over the fawning of Bush.
