STATES TURNING UP HEAT ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - Minor traffic violations do not usually warrant a press release from a governor. But when state police stopped a van on a Missouri road for "following too closely" and found it was carrying 10 presumed illegal immigrants, Gov. Matt Blunt was quick to tout the incident as part of a new state program to hunt down undocumented aliens.

"We will make every effort, implement every tool, and take every step to ensure the laws against illegal immigration are enforced," declared Blunt, announcing the arrests as he pursued tough new measures to push undocumented immigrants out of the state.

Missouri's efforts are among several now being seen around the nation as state and local officials race to make their territory as unappealing as possible for the nation's estimated 12 million undocumented individuals.

The campaign has drawn the ire of religious organizations, civil rights groups and some employers, who argue the actions are unfairly harassing and intimidating both illegal and legal immigrants.

All the "usual suspects" who dismiss the "Render Unto Caesar" admonition!

There are hordes of "self-appointed" guardians who aid and abet illegal immigration (and numerous other ills) because... "It is only right...."!

The same crew who assist the "oppressed" in committing welfare fraud (for the same reasons...)!

for now this is just boob bait for the bubbas.

until a class of politicians takes up the mantle to oppose the Noprth American Union then there will be no controls placed on the transfer of 3rd world migrants to the US.

The alien invasion is an equalization process to avoid the major economic shock like that endured by West germany when the walls came down and they unified with east germany.

It is also designed to minimize political shock. When about 25-30% of the population will be recently from a 3rd world it will be safe for the US ruling class lawmakers to begin overt actions to create the NAU. This will provide a political buffer that will dampen rebellion minded native Americans (no, not just Indians)when they finally make NAU law.
Any protests ortganized by gras-root Americans to oppose NAU and throw politicians out will be immediately dwarfed by huge counter-protests organized by high paid organizers, funded by billions, and will dominate the news.

they will convince the general public that only a very few wackos are oppsoed to the NAu and it is hopeless, and ignorant, racist, homophobic, antiprogressive, to oppose the NAU.

it is already happening exactly like that.

This is all about the permanent emplacement of a global ruling class, currently dominated by global corporate executives and their socialist academic puppets.

The Constitution is dead, but even worse, the American man has been bred out of existence. There are likely not eneough real men left to foment a revolution against the 2 political parties and the ruling class.

We do not need to revolt against the government. We need to support the government and constitution. We must impeach and remove the criminals who call themselves Republicans and Democrats. ALL of them.

If you like any of them then tell them to become Independent and then you will believe them.

Only when Reps and Dems currently in office dump their party and become Indpendent will America begin to have any hope whatsoever or defending itself.

This is war BTW. No shooting war has EVER had more at stake than we have at stake now. The US parties are the enemy. yes, enemy. (just look at their refusl to defend the borders, the most fundamental duty even when 75% citizens are demanding it)

Sorry—whining from CA doesn’t move me much. I live in TX, and I can’t describe how bad the situation is here. Wish we had a few TX congresscritters with some guts to really do something here.

A civil war is more likely than America's leaders both waking up AND showing leadership.

Where I live the state finally stopped issuing licenses to illegals after the experiment turned into the disaster critics said it would. Problems included an increase in uninsured motorist accidents, an increase in hit-and-run accidents, an increase in check forgery associated with the new IDs.

As individual states crack down on illegals the illegals will be channelized to those states and cities that are illegal friendly. These jurisdictions are likely to be overwhelmed to the point that their taxpayers demand change.

This is going to give CO, next door, a lot of problems.

Denver is a strong sanctuary city, the Governor a liberal, and the legislature strong left.

There is NO leader who wants to do anything but coddle illegals.

We need to prepare for a flood here in CO.

We might want to start closing the Delaware River bridges now. I predict that things are going to get crazy in the Garden State...

ahh, did I mention that there has never been a revolution when the masses are well fed and well entertained?

Never have indentured servants, and subordinate classes been so well fed, so well housed, had so little back-breaking labor to do while being so thoroughly entertained almost 24/7.

we’re the fattest nation on earth. we have the lowest unemployment. we have the greatest array of entertainment. we are the least educated in the indutrialized world...

fat, dumb, and happy. who needs freedom and the constitution?

Perhaps--just perhaps, this one issue will wake the sheeple, and they will vote the current crop out, and replace them with strong anti-illegal candidates.

Of course, that's assuming that it's possible that our votes are being counted, and aren't being changed by the new e-voting! I've heard more than once now that those electronic machines are very easy to program to do just that--with no one being the wiser.

“fat, dumb, and happy. who needs freedom and the constitution?”

For now this is true. I really believe we are sitting on top of an over-inflated balloon. That over-inflation is caused by the 38 million ILLEGAL immigrants who are squatting in our country. If some event causes an economic loss and that balloon bursts or starts losing air; if jobs are affected, it’s going to get real ugly out there, real fast.

The American globalists and free traders are sadden by all this. Their vision of a world where services, goods, raw materials and LABORERS can flow in and out of our country is derailed.

I wish I knew what the ‘pin’ was to start letting the air out of the over inflated balloon. We REALLY need to get the ball rolling on getting the US back.

“A civil war is more likely than America’s leaders both waking up AND showing leadership.”

Unfortunately, you are correct. I see a civil war in America as pretty much inevitable the way things are going.

Another approach that is needed is, in terms of Federal Law, make it ILLEGAL to knowingly transport any individual ACROSS A STATE LINE who is in the United States illegally. The transporter, as well as the illegal alien himself having crossed a state line, will have hence committed a federal crime.

It can be done with transporting weapons, minors and people (kidnapping) at the federal level...so it can be done with respect to illegal aliens.

This by far, at least in terms of law, would clearly make them criminal, the ones who ventured from California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas to another of the 46 states.
