After reviewing the Patriot and Homeland Security Acts, we sincerely recommend everyone pick up a copy of George Orwell's novel "1984" to read over the holidays. The socialists gave us the Newspeak. Now, under the guise of fighting terrorism, Republicans are giving us the continuous monitoring -- almost every violation of privacy modern technology makes possible. All we will be missing is the Orwell-type constant surveillance (the telescreen) while at home.
On the other hand, information leaking from the White House indicates that President George W. Bush will soon be informing Americans that federal laws are somewhat arbitrary and capricious. Therefore, he finds it totally acceptable for whole classes of people to violate federal law when they find it to their personal benefit.
That information came from Tony Garza, who was sworn in last week as the new U.S. ambassador to Mexico. Garza told reporters in Mexico City that reaching an accord legalizing the status of Mexican immigrants -- illegal aliens in the U.S. -- without giving them citizenship, "continues to be a top administration priority." Garza proposed new guest-worker programs for illegal Mexican aliens, which would allow all the illegals to stay, with no need for any INS supervision.
"If we don't do something about their status, we will be admitting that our country has a permanent underclass," Garza told reporters.
They already are a permanent underclass. Out of the many millions illegally in this country, tens of thousands are packing our prisons, tens of thousands more are involved in organized drug crime and/or street gangs and a few million others are on welfare. Enough is enough, already! Yet another problem is that they do not even bother to learn our language and customs. Worse yet, a large segment of that population is actually scheming to break off a chunk of our country for their own.
That Mexican President, Vicente Fox, is no friend of the American people or the United States. He heads one of the most corrupt governments in the world and even his police and military are involved in smuggling illegal drugs into our country. Now he's demanding that our federal government give amnesty for over 3 million illegal aliens squatting in the United States.
As Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican and chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, said about the proposed amnesty program: "The first lesson these new residents will learn about the United States is it is OK to break the law. Is that the America we want to build?"
Tancredo is correct. All illegals should be arrested and put in jail. Or, there not being enough room in our prison system for all these lawbreakers, they should all be bussed back to Southern Mexico, where it is a long walk back to the U.S. border.
After all, if American citizens are expected to obey federal law, most certainly all foreigners must, even more so. Or, we all get to violate federal laws with impunity. In no case should illegal squatters have a free pass but not American citizens.
Yet another lead balloon the administration is trying to fly concerns a fund called the Millennium Challenge Account. That was first proposed by President Bush last March. The first disbursements are scheduled for the fiscal year starting next October and annual funding will grow to $5 billion a year by 2006. Which means, every American taxpayer will be kicking in an average of $45 every year to send to places like Bolivia, Mongolia, Senegal, Tanzania, Ghana, El Salvador, Morocco, South Africa and Jamaica. Free trade is the excuse this time.
With all the obnoxious illegal drug laws we already have, and now all the anti-terrorist laws passed, one would think that the most important function of the federal government would be to stop the illegal flow of goods and people into our country. But, that does not seem to be the case at all. Instead, they make laws that violate the liberty of the American people.
Something is definitely wrong with this picture!
Get all the illegals -- from every country -- out of here and our welfare and medical costs will plummet. Our schools will also have a lot more room. Ditto for the prison system. And, the American people will again find they can safely walk certain neighborhoods.
This is a function mandated to the federal government under our Constitution. Yet, the federal government intentionally refuses to perform. Fact is, they are totally negligent at protecting our borders -- and hence, the American people. Which means, our trust in government has been totally violated and the American people may have to act to remove that function from the federal government and make other arrangements. We look for studies of legal ways to arrange that to begin after the first of the year.
If this foolishness keeps up, there will be at least one less lifelong registered Republican on the books come 2004.
END
Leak: Bush to state that federal laws are somewhat arbitrary and capricious, allowing violations as needed.
Tony Garza, U.S. ambassador to Mexico, says that Mexico wants illegal aliens in the U.S. made legal and with "class". As permanent underclass, many millions pack our prisons, run drug crime and/or street gangs and a few million others are on welfare, not even learning our our language and customs. Worse yet, a large segment of that population is actually scheming to break off a chunk of our country for their own.
Mexican President Vicente Fox is no friend of the American people. He heads a most corrupt government involved in smuggling illegal drugs into our country.
Bush is pushing the Millennium Challenge Account to send our money to 3rd world nations.
Instead of stopping illegals, government is making laws that violate the liberty of the American people. Something is definitely wrong with this picture!
Get all illegals out of here and our welfare and medical costs will plummet and our schools and prisons will have more room. And, the American people will again find they can safely walk certain neighborhoods.

Actually, what we need to do is eliminate the tax funded welfare and medical system. Then there will be no cost to society for immigrants and we will attract a different type of immigrant, the type that we attracted before we had this internal welfare nightmare. We would get 100% people who come here to work and 0% who come to collect on our idiocy.
Now we probably get 50-50.
Um. Hello? Remember the actions of the New Jersey Supreme Court last month? We're already there.
Until they are overwritten.
Yeah, but who'll pick our lettuce?
Bump
Give the man a ceegar!
What I am saying is that if we end the welfare idiocy, we won't have to worry about controlling the borders. The free loaders will not be coming any longer. Immigration will return to the way it was in the early 20th century. The government worried only about communicable diseases at the ports of entry. They knew that there were no free loaders coming because there was nothing for them. There was only limitless opportunity to work and earn and keep the fruits of your labor.
The welfare and tax system ruined that even for natives and also attracted the free loaders.
