"Mexico is an incredibly important part of the futuro de los Estados Unidos.{what does this translate to? The future land united?} (Applause.) And the border, la frontera,{What does this mean? the border is not a frontier, it is a line you don't cross without an invitation} is a very important part of our relationship. It is essential that Americans understand the nature of this border.
I think it is rather he that needs to understand the nature of what a border is, and someone should take the time to clue him in on the meaning of sovereignty. Natural born Americans have a right, duty, and obligation to say enough and pull up the welcome mat.
We have a right to say no to being ripped off to pay for services for illegals and immigrants, we have a right to reject having to take up their tax burden slack, given their pitiful third world wages, having our votes negated, having our homeland Balkanized or turned into a third world flop house by people who have no desire to become American, and leaving our children to the whim of a majority that has no history here, or that has no liking, much less an understanding, of our Constitution.
Guns and who enters our home are not two issues to be yanked from our perrogative by silver tongued PC peddlers. Calling us names, nor slick speeches is going to do one single thing to change our minds about our God given right to protect ourselves on both fronts.
I like Mexicans, I have nothing against limited immigration. I have nothing against building the economy of Mexico within the limits of strictly controlled foreign aid. What I do not like is the attempt being made to make us feel that we all washed ashore last week with the rest of the newly arrived immigrants.
I am not an immigrant nor are we a nation of immigrants. Many of us stopped being immigrants about five generations back. We are educated, we have an obligation to future generations to guard the Bill of Rights and not risk leaving it in the hands of a uneducated majority third world population. I do not like the education that makes children believe that mean old European slave owners founded the nation, died out, left no offspring, left nothing worth talking about, there is no national culture here that might be better than the culture back in the motherland, and we all just arrived last week.
If the presence of terrorist in our midsts does not clue someone in to the fact that we are not a nation united but rather a nation that has not acted responsibly about who we leave the future of freedom to I have no idea what will.
