A National Emergency {Illegal Immigration}

A national emergency

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: August 29, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern

On Aug. 12, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson declared a state of emergency "due to a " on his southern border. Three days later, Gov. Janet Napolitano followed suit in Arizona.

Reason: the crisis on the border. The ally-ally-in-free immigration policy of George Bush and Vicente Fox, beloved of corporate America, has created a hell on our southern border.

Those Southwestern states are being inundated by illegal aliens trashing ranches, killing cattle, committing crimes and eating up tax dollars. The traffic in narcotics and human beings from Mexico is a national scandal and a human-rights disgrace.

What is true of New Mexico and Arizona is true of our nation, which is now home to an estimated 10 million to 15 million aliens who have broken our laws and broken into our country. It is a mark of the cowardice of our leaders that they are so terrified of being called "bigots" they tolerate this criminality. The moral rot of political correctness runs deep today in both national parties.

A president like Teddy Roosevelt would have led the Army to the border years ago. And if Fox did not cooperate, T.R. would have gone on to Mexico City. Nor would Ike, who deported all illegal aliens in 1953, have stood still for this being done to the country he had defended in war.

What are these Bush Republicans afraid of? Dirty looks from the help at the country club?

The question of whether America is going to remain one nation, or whether our Southwest will wind up as a giant Kosovo – separated by language and loyalty from the rest of America – is on the table.

Where is Bush? All wrapped up in the issue of whether women in Najaf will have the same rights in divorce and custody cases as women in Nebraska. His legislative agenda for the fall includes a blanket amnesty for illegals, so they can be exploited by businesses who want to hold wages down as they dump the social costs for their employees – health care, schools, courts, cops, prisons – onto taxpayers.

Not only have Richardson and Napolitano awakened – they are on the front lines – so, too, has Hillary Clinton, who has spoken out against illegal immigration with a forthrightness that makes Bush sound like a talking head for La Raza.

Why is a Republican Congress permitting this president to persist in the dereliction of his sworn duty?

George Bush is chief executive of the United States. It is his duty to enforce the laws. Can anyone fairly say he is enforcing the immigration laws? Those laws are clear. People who break in are to be sent back. Yet, more than 10 million have broken in with impunity. Another million attempt to break in every year. Half a million succeed. Border security is homeland security. How, then, can the Department of Homeland Security say America is secure?

Who can guarantee that, of the untold millions of illegals here, and the scores of thousands ordered deported for crimes who have disappeared into our midst, none is a terrorist waiting for orders to blow up a subway or mall and massacre American citizens?

Most of these illegals come to work to send money back to their families. They are not bad people. But because they are predominantly young and male, they commit a disproportionate share of violent crimes.

Why should U.S. citizens be assaulted, robbed, raped and murdered, and have their children molested, because their government will not enforce its own laws?

Is this not an indictment of democracy itself? What dictatorial regime would put up with this?

The Republican Party claims to be a conservative party. But what kind of conservative is it who, to cut a few costs or make a few bucks, will turn his family's home into a neighborhood flop house?

In a recent poll, 40 percent of Mexicans – 40 million people – said they would like to come to the United States, and 20 percent expressed a willingness to break in. Time to cut the babble about how NAFTA is going to solve the problem. This is a national emergency.

Twice, George Bush has taken an oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Article IV, Section 4 of that Constitution reads, "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion."

Well, we are being invaded, and the president of the United States is not doing his duty to protect the states against that invasion. Some courageous Republican, to get the attention of this White House, should drop into the hopper a bill of impeachment, charging George W. Bush with a conscious refusal to uphold his oath and defend the states of the Union against "invasion."

It may be the only way left to get his attention, before the border vanishes and our beloved country dissolves into MexAmerica, what T.R. called a "polyglot boarding house for the world."

Start voting them out of office ASAP then. Impeach a few and recall others. Protect the rights of American citizens!

The Immigration Bomb is going to cost the Republicans seats in the 2006 elections (even if they don't lose control of the House and Senate), and it's going to cost them the presidency in 2008.

I don't think that matters a bit to the globalist string-pullers. There's not much difference in the "two" parties anymore. They're both going left faster than I can say "socialist".

Unfortunately, too many Americans get fooled over and over again by slick, manipulative, snake oil selling politicians.

Either Governor Richardson made a huge mistake and has noticed it (drivers licenses, etc. for illegal aliens) OR, he's impervious to any responsibilities by his former actions (D.L. for illegals, etc.) and is just grabbing for increased funds to make his state homier to illegal aliens.

I think it's the latter.

Richardson complains about crimes and such and stress to his law enforcement and such in his state, but he then continues to defend his actions in pandering to illegal aliens (DL and such) as beneficial to overall conditions.

What he is not admitting, publicly, is that his pandering has contributed to his own problems. And now his "emergency" just gets more federal dollars to ease his pandering into acceptable place.

I don't consider Richardson as someone who is representing American citizens. I think he is representing Mexican interests and Hispanic cultural interests (which translate to political and economic interests from south of our border) and I think he is misleading Americans.

How many crimes were committed by illegal aliens today and how many of them will skip back to Mexico and not face what little justice our system can muster? All the little lies of our elite are adding up and Mr. Bush will end up paying the price just like his dad.

Happy, have you noticed that some of devolves graphics have been deleted from threads, [#22 in this thread]? I have seen what they were and they are not at all objective.

Someone is pushing abuse on him for no good reason!!

The city councils of the two largest cities have prohibited their police from making any nationality determination as part of the councils overall official defiance of national immigration law enforcement.

The governor demands drivers licenses be issued to illegal immigrants and denounces all moves to reform the border porosity.

His public comments are posturing for his presidential bid.

I agree. It seems the only losers in this equation are natural born American citizens. Too bad for us.

The TRUTH IS--->...
NOBODY, nada, zip, nobody knows how many illegals of whatever nationality there is in the U.S... How could they.. There could be 50 million or 80 or a 100 million illegals and whos to know.. Amazing how many illegals there are in places you wouldn't suspect them to be, like in the Northeast... And with an administration and state department with a vested interest in NOT reporting a correct amount.. and a tendency to DOWNPLAY the INVASION.. can you TRUST THEM.?. I DON'T..

Illegals have a vested interest in NOT being counted.. and dollars to pesos they are NOT being counted correctly OR AT ALL.. Seems to me to serve the interests of the globalist elite.. Watering down the nationalistic bent of Americans.. by allowing people that could care less about national boundary's IN.. Immigration seems to one issue that the Hildebeast and Bush seem to agree on.. However Hillary is bad mouthing them currently.. But you KNOW she loves potential democrats come in.. since her party has supported murdering their next generation of babies for DECADES...

Wonder is.. WHY would Bush be for illegal alien insurgency.?.. I know, Do YOU..

My theory for some time is that ill.imm. is the conditioning process for us to slowly, almost imperceptibly accept this hemispheric union being shoved down our throats by the usual suspects. Bilingual education, dual language packaging on boxes, etc., increased visibility of Hispanic slanted media are all contributing to this "nation within a nation".

Add to that the fact that someone can come here, latch themselves onto welfare and never have to learn the language or pay a dime in tax then you have a perfect scenario when people can come and COLONIZE and never have to assimilate.

ALL being advanced by the republican party.. of all things..
Globalism is a nasty subject.. so current and active in the U.S. you don't even the required tin foil to see it.. The sheeple have one eye on the Iraqi war and the other on the alien insurgentcy across the mexican border.. NO WONDER they are cross eyed.. The iraq war has served its purpose.. I think.. confuse the sheeple..

I agree and I think the big picture looks like this: daze and confuse the populace....have them at each other's throats while behind their backs the various and sundry useful idiots, traitors, etc. can stay busy crafting the new " American Union" that will also just HAVE to include a new constitution and legal system.........wonder if all the lawyers out there wreaking havoc on people know if their collective heads are on the chopping block also? In my estimation the setting aside of the US Constitution is the real "big enchilada" discussed on occasion by El Foxy.......when he's not busy kicking around El Arbusto like a red-headed stepchild.
