ALIEN BILL DEFIES PUBLIC WILL (Lonsberry)

It's not even about illegal aliens anymore. It's about the relationship between the government and the people.

It's about who wears the pants in the family.

And right now, the president and a whole bunch of others are confused about that. See, they think they're in charge. They think it's their country.

They think they're going to tell us what to do.

Well, they've got another think coming. This time they've got a fight on their hands.

The background is illegal immigration and the years of treasonously incompetent government which have allowed it to turn into the biggest threat to our country and its future. It takes some doing for an issue to rival militant Islam as a danger to the United States, but illegal immigration does.

And that is completely the fault of the federal government. Stretching back to the late 1980s, and accelerating to light speed under George W. Bush and the Republican Congress, government negligence turned a blind eye to border security and the flood of illegal aliens into the country. Instead of dealing with the problem, the government facilitated it. Instead of being rounded up and deported, illegal aliens were guaranteed an ever-larger pool of government services.

The United States became Mexico's welfare and medical system and the federal government did absolutely nothing to protect the interests or territorial integrity of the nation. As cultural dilution and antagonism became rampant, the government was uncaring and impotent. It was national suicide by governmental neglect.

American wages were suppressed, American taxes were raided, American communities were endangered, American values were suppressed, American culture was spat upon. Entire communities were lost to illegal newcomers who were invaders, not immigrants. A centuries-old American model of immigration was thrown out for a divisive new pattern which has already effectively lost the United States sovereignty over portions of its own territory.

We face cultural and financial bankruptcy because the president and Congress failed to uphold their oaths of office. They have ignored the rule of law by refusing to enforce the written law. We have a border, we have immigration laws, and the federal government has ignored them both.

And only after years of complaint and rising public upset did the government begin to do anything. But even then it was mostly manipulation for political gain. It has been a scripted dance in which the people have demanded and the politicians have manipulated and in the end they get our dollars and our votes and we get the back of their hand. And the illegal immigration problem festers into malignancy while they twiddle their thumbs.

Now there is a bill.

Now, they tell us, is the time to act. And their bill is the only thing that can be acted upon. Negotiated in secret, amended in secret, demanded in public. Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. It's time to pull the wool over our eyes and they're impatient, afraid that delay will lead to scrutiny and defeat.

In the name of helping us, they are about to kill us.

And a tiny group of senators, in league with the president, have agreed to ramrod this through. And to defuse the nation's roaring disapproval they are taking a tone of authority and power their offices do not provide them.

The president who is sure one more of his stammering speeches will convince the nation to change its mind. The Democrat senator who is essentially calling the American people racists. The Republican senator who is going to “do something” about talk radio, the only place political correctness and government intimidation have not yet completely choked out the voice of the people. All are miffed that the people have not rolled over and obediently accepted the superior enlightenment of the Washington fat cats.

And that's what brings us to today's fight. Not just to stop an immigration bill that is poison to our national interests, but to knock down the politicians whose arrogance has presumed they could cram down the throats of average Americans a piece of legislation that every measurement of public sentiment shows they don't want.

They said “Yes,” we said “No,” now they have raised their voices and furrowed their brows and pointed their fingers and said “Yes” again. It's as if they are the masters and we are the servants and they have reminded us to know our place.

Well, the fact is we do know our place.

We are at the top of the political food chain. We are the people the Preamble is talking about. We are the United States of America – they aren't. It is supposed to be government for, of and by the people, not imposed on the people.

The job of every member of Congress is to represent the wishes of the people of his state or district. Period. It is not to impose a will, or coerce an opinion, it is to do what the people want.

And the people don't want this immigration bill.

Not by a damn sight.

And the president and Congress who do not honor that wish have don't need a lesson just in immigration policy, they need a lesson in American democracy.

And they are about to get it.

Secure the border. Make it impenetrable. Shut off the influx of illegal aliens. Begin cleaning up the mess in our schools, jails, hospitals and streets caused by illegal aliens. Actively seek and deport illegal aliens and their families, particularly those involved with welfare and crime. Change the 14th Amendment to get rid of anchor babies. Passionately promote a national program of culture and language education and assimilation.

Then, after a couple of years, talk about legalization and pathways.

But secure the border first and foremost.

And actively take down every candidate and party that pushes forward this asinine immigration bill.

What is not being talked about is that the raising of the minimum wage exacerbates every problem we have. It increases the demand for illegal aliens that are ok with being paid below the minimum wage. If those cannot be hired, it encourages businesses to leave the US entirely. When will people understand that we are competing against the entire world, and that our best salvation is education and ever better productivity?

[tillacum]

For years, Fawn, I’ve been saying here and elsewhere America has MORE ROYALS than another country in the world. They are our elected servants. They have increased their living wages far above the living wages of the average worker, these elected are wage earning servants, who travel in the best of circles, fly with planes “donated” for some service the elected can make available,every time they appear on some sort of investigation they are given a stiped, when they appear on a committee, and every time we see them on tv (c-spam) they are given another stiped. They are given hair styling and makeup, that WE pay for, they are driven “TO WORK” with a chaffeur driving the SUV provided by you and me. How about them apples? I have little use for professional politicians, ie, killer kennedy, pussy pelosi, cadavar reid, wrangling warner, lost in ether Lott, jaymouth roosevelt, limping lindsey, maniac mccain, gigillo kerry, and some I can’t think of at the moment. We need to keep these fact in mind when we meet and speak with these servants of ours. We need to think of this when we VOTE someone into office.

Here in Mexifornia, Feinstein and Boxer should resign. Hopefully senatorial candidates with brains will take their places when they’re voted out due to their love for illegal aliens and globalist interests.

[DesScorp]

Yup, when the elected office holders start ignoring the people wholesale, its time for Peasants with Pitchforks.

[SunkenCiv]

My first president. :’)

[dixiechick2000]

They...are...ickwads.

Actually they are worse than ickwads...

but that’s the only word I can safely say. ;o)

[dixiechick2000]

ROTFLOLOL!

The Wild Bunch!

I love it! ;o)

[dixiechick2000]

* I * am NOT related to Bush!

Just letting you know...;o)

GOOD post, and good info...thank you!

[Fawn]

It’s very discouraging. THey get such an unbelievable pension for serving just 2 years. I don’t understand how ones like Kennedy, Frank and that Byrd kept getting relected. What kind of ignoramouses keep voting them in? I’ve lost faith in the human race...for so many reasons. Thank God for pets.

[TruthFactor]

Ping! and BTTT!

I sent my Rep. and both Senators this article. I said it reflected mine and my neighbors thinking “exactly”, and that they better get with the program or I’ll do everything in my power to make sure their unemployed come next election.

[Seadog Bytes]

Not my first, but I sometimes wish we had him back...
I note he had early career opportunities to work for (and learn from?) both Pershing and McArthur, and later earned a military reputation of his own.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

Bringing to the Presidency his prestige as commanding general of the victorious forces in Europe during World War II, Dwight D. Eisenhower obtained a truce in Korea and worked incessantly during his two terms to ease the tensions of the Cold War.   He pursued the moderate policies of "Modern Republicanism," pointing out as he left office, "America is today the strongest, most influential, and most productive nation in the world."

Born in Texas in 1890, brought up in Abilene, Kansas, Eisenhower was the third of seven sons. He excelled in sports in high school, and received an appointment to West Point. Stationed in Texas as a second lieutenant, he met Mamie Geneva Doud, whom he married in 1916.

In his early Army career, he excelled in staff assignments, serving under Generals John J. Pershing, Douglas MacArthur, and Walter Krueger. After Pearl Harbor, General George C. Marshall called him to Washington for a war plans assignment. He commanded the Allied Forces landing in North Africa in November 1942; on D-Day, 1944, he was Supreme Commander of the troops invading France.

After the war, he became President of Columbia University, then took leave to assume supreme command over the new NATO forces being assembled in 1951. Republican emissaries to his headquarters near Paris persuaded him to run for President in 1952.

"I like Ike" was an irresistible slogan; Eisenhower won a sweeping victory.

In my opinion, the average American has been played for a fool. Democrats and a lot of republican politicians have won many elections because they have promised and delivered free “entitlements” to the welfare class and they never miss a vote. Joe six pack has been too involved with his career, beer,TV, and sports to vote. I guess we have the government that we deserve.
