A national emergency

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."
This is Buchanan's attempt at ridiculing the importance of the war in Iraq.
Our troops aren't fighting and dying in Iraq for divorce law reforms. They are defending us against an enemy who attacked us without warning or provocation on our own soil and has vowed to kill every American man woman and child who won't convert to Islam.
It is inexcusable for Buchanan to belittle the sacrifices and accomplishments of our troops.
Yeah, I wouldn't trust YOU either......hey, if you're wrong life is wonderful anyway and if you're right then you'll have first class accomodations at the re-education camp.....looks like a win/win to me.
'where is Bush?'
That's PRESIDENT Bush to you.............
BTTT. Viva Senor Buchanan.
Yep, we're probably going to see history repeat.....a inadequate Bush regime handing over the presidency to a Clinton.
God bless Pat Buchanan.
Say WHAT bitt??
And if he would come out against Islam and Sharia you would be here denouncing him for "racism."
"They are defending us against an enemy who attacked us without warning or provocation on our own soil and has vowed to kill every American man woman and child who won't convert to Islam."
An enemy who attacked us on our own soil. An enemy who continues to arrive on our soil thanks to open borders. An enemy whose objective of killing every man, woman and child who won't convert is facilitated by open borders.
Our troops are doing their part to defend America from terrorism, while the President is AWOL or worse on the border. "You are with us or you are against us," President Bush has decided he is with M.E.Ch.A and MS13, even Al Qaeda itself when it comes to the border. He has decided against us, even to the point of ignoring the oath he swore upon a bible twice.
Exactly. It's a game of "Two Card Monte" being played on American voters. Who think they have a choice because one has a blue hat and the other red.
But the antis don't care about border defense against terrorism, that's just an excuse they use to want increased efforts to keep out migrant workers.
Which migrant workers, the ones from Nigeria?
Yeah, you're right, rod, it took you about 37,265 times posting that line, but at long last we finally see the light. NOBODY cares about terrorist attacks on American soil, not one single person. It's all about some guy mowing the lawn. Good thinking. That makes so much sense, it's amazing that we never saw it before, despite all the times you've tried to drill it into our heads. We have you to thank for showing us the way.
Brilliant.
How's your afternoon going?
