Guest Opinion: U.S. needs to address immigration problem now-I like how he thinks
Galesburg Register-Mail ^ | Oct 10, 2008 | GENE RUDE

Our immigration policies in this country are dangerous, unfair and border on ridiculous. We have nearly 20 million illegal immigrants here from many countries, and we don’t even know who they are and where they are from. Hundreds of billions of dollars are spent on them each year for medical care. Social Security fraud is rampant, causing our system to come apart at the seams. The thousands break child labor laws and we turn a blind eye at the problem.

The very security of our nation is in jeopardy because we don’t know who has come here and what danger they will do to our people. All 19 or 20 hijackers were here on visas either valid or expired. Ironically, six months after the attack all their visas were renewed by the very government they attacked. We don’t have a clue who is here. Our government leaders don’t really want to talk about the problem. Congress doesn’t have a clue about how to handle the problem. No one wants to offend the very countries that have produced the problem. Mexico encourages its people to come here and take advantage of our system with its freedoms. But, Mexico is only one of many countries that have forced or encouraged their people to come here for what we have fought and died for.

After a meeting with an immigration detective I have learned that middle eastern terrorists seeking access to domestic cells within the US are coming in through Mexico. Many can’t be visually distinguished from Mexicans and after moving to mexico and learning conversational spanish that come in illegally with the rest of the flood of illegals.

I’ve heard we now have closer to over 60 million illegals in the U.S. Many of them enemies. Bush’s push for the New World Order with his refusal to protect the people by securing the borders is a violation of his oath of office.

DITTO & *BUMP*

Amazing, isn’t it, how the bipartisan Open Borders Lobby/CFR has managed to keep both candidates and the media absolutely SILENT on the subject. Nary a word has even been mentioned about subprimes to illegals and how our pandering to them has affected the global economy. I think it is absolutely NO coincidence that both candidates favor amnesty. The OBL/CFR is determined to get their way. The only way the NAU and NWO can be stopped is if we stop it. Problem is, there are few of US and far too many ignorant Americans who either have their heads buried in the sand counting on the rest of us to straighten things out, or, we are up against those who favor globalism.

Yup, I’m afraid it is all of the above, Kim. The trend has been gaining in momeentum through all these years. And now “crisis” after “crisis” is being released in order for the lethal left to come in for the kill.

Just pray that common sense prevails and we will emerge at the other end of this thing, wiser and healthier. The human spirit is a wondrous thing, once awakened.

"Kevin Johnson, dean of the UC Davis School of Law and one of three professors at the school advising the Obama campaign on immigration policy, said immigration reform is "a dangerous issue to talk about when the economy is melting down."

No, it is not just Iranians, but Saudis, Iraqis, Syrians, and other members of Al Qaeda. They can all blend in with the locals.

The agent presented a seminar just last month and apparently the tide is still rushing across the border.
