The Illegal Immigration Problem
All American Blogger ^ | 12-17-2007 | Andrew Riley

Do we need to build a fence along our southern border? There is no shortage of people who would have you believe border security is nothing more than racism. It is important to note that a fence isn’t capable of racism. A fence is simply a tool used to prevent movement from one place to another. And if we are concerned with knowing who is entering this country, a border fence is one of the most important tools our border agents have to help us weed out the criminals, drug smugglers, and terrorists.

Now Congress wants to strip out funding for building the border fence. Why, we mustn't be mean and insensitive xenophobes. Its back to business as usual for the Open Borders Crowd.

It’s my belief that most of the better organized gangs, especially at the top echelons, are comprised in large part of illegal aliens.
Why do these thugs, legal and illegal, roam our streets freely, acting with, almost, impunity, and we do little about it?
Why do millions of illegal immigrants pour across our southern border each year?
To begin with, is this not a hole in the fabric of our nation’s security? Could terrorists come across our border, even with the means to commit acts of terror, easily?
I have to say that the answer is, YES.

Yes, a terrorist could easily cross our southern border and I believe many do.
Not the type of terrorist you are thinking about. The man with a bomb strapped to his back, the man with nuclear devices in his backpack, the man with biochemical weapons attached to his belt, even though these could all be true.
I’m talking about the illegal immigrants that are part of gangs, or going to become part of a gang.
There are many of them, both already in a gang or willing to join a gang once here for self preservation, or to protect their families, whom, being illegals, won’t go to the police, or just wanting to show the gringo that they can’t be pushed around like, you got it, what they are, an illegal alien.

Why worry about committing acts of aggression yourself when you can get willing dupes to do your job for you?
Let’s sow some discord within the USA. Let’s get the USA to look at a different problem, illegal immigration, and they won’t be looking so hard in our direction. While we’re at it, let’s get some of our own people in easily so that when we ARE ready we’ll have a fifth column in place.
These reasons, in addition to the fact that many people have the gut feeling that the illegal immigrant should not be rewarded for breaking the law, are why we need to secure our borders, especially our southern border.
I believe that most people would be more than willing to have the many illegal immigrants as neighbors, the hard working ones at least, if only they had come to our country legally.

Most of the government, local, state, and federal, has turned a blind eye to the illegal immigrant lawbreakers in our country.
I haven’t been able to figure this out yet. Someone is getting paid off, I’m just not sure who yet.
The government says these people pay taxes. How is that? A business is not supposed to be able to legally hire an illegal immigrant, so how are they paying taxes? Are they voluntarily paying their taxes to our government out of their under the table pay? I don’t think so. Are they even voluntarily paying their OWN government taxes out of their under the table pay? I don’t think so.
So we have one of two scenarios happening here. Either, we have illegal immigrants being paid under the table, illegally, by business owners or we have business owners accepting false documents from illegal immigrants and now the illegal immigrants are doubly criminals.
Either way, there are two crimes happening and very little being done about it.

The racism argument is old school these days. The new arguments in favor of illegal invasion are just as creative as they are psychotic.

Just the other day I was informed that if the government enforces immigration law today, they’ll take my house tomorrow.

In 1954 the Eisenhower administration initiated “Operation Wetback” in an effort to repatriate illegal aliens. The biggest problem law enforcement has with illegals is identification. I’ve seen illegals with over twenty aliases. The problem is that they get arrested for something like DUI and get cited out. You find out days later that the guy was wanted for homicide under a different name. I’m not saying give them driver’s licenses, I’m saying get some form of state or national ID system that gets fingerprints into a data base.

The best way to build a fence to keep out illegal marauders is by using employers who hire them. Fine them, jail them, and transport them to border camps to build the fence. Let them live and work with the illegal marauders who are awaiting extradition, maybe they can learn a thing or two about TB, hepatitis, gang rape, real racism and real fear. Make the people who are responsible for this mess do the work to stop it.

nobody is supposed to know this? It's a secret?
Don't anybody tell the media....lol.
I can say I've seen more than a few encouraging signs....
But those were being held up by democrats.
AT least in my county....don't know about next door....
and that's always the case, next door.....who knows?
But even there I have seen a few encouraging signs....
at least on three other sides....
No...We're not surrounded yet....but one out of four does cause concern.

Gee, I wonder why the Republican candidates aren't calling on congress to fund the fence?

Those in government prefer we discuss and debate this issue for another 10 years, or wait until we are completely out numbered by millions of illegal aliens, or until our entire system is completely undermined and compromised.

Is all the nation has is a Reid? Someone check out that Polosi....this water is getting deep.....
but that's another story!

and stories seldom are told!

cause when stories are told...stories happen.

and once in a great long while....every moment....
There's a miracle.....and then sometimes there isn't....except for that last moment.....and the type was?

Don't know, can anyone decipher what I put on the screen....
No...just looked out the window....nothing there.....

Building a fence or a wall is intended to do one thing only: preserve our freedom.

How can a nation remain free if the citizens of another nation - or nations - can simply walk in and occupy land, make demands, and ultimately seize political power?

This is the main point that everyone misses. The reason they miss it is that Americans are now told they are not a nation: thus anyone is an "American", as soon as they set foot on our soil.

Preventing mass "immigration", which is actually invasion, is the requirement for maintaining our freedom. If the citizens of other nations can rule us, can take what is ours, we are no longer free.
