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."

This is not the first time in the last fifteen years that Pat or anyone else has raised the Illegal immigration issue as the Issue of our time. In fact it is the only Issue that "Pat" gets any attention for. He melted down in Arizona when he ran for the White House against George Bush Senior talking about kicking Jose back across the border. In fact Pat and many so called reactionary conservatives are going to do more harm than good by being bombastic and Racist about illegal immigration(yes I said the big R word thats what his upper class white ass really is a Racist, not withstanding his opportunistic token vice Pres candidate, last run a round Felony, falooney whatever her name is.). Lets face it Pat dont like the Brown folks much. Why should he, he has never had a real job, grew up upper middle class and talks out of both sides of his neck, acts like he some tough insightful Irish guy.

1. Do something smart and penalize (shut down their business and throw the owners in jail) the company's that are hiring illegal immigrants.
2. Speak in non Tancredo, Michael Savage, Boarder Patriot type speak and talk about illegal immigration in a way that does not sound like we are all a bunch of scared white folks afraid of "those Mexicans" taking our jobs.
3. Use the intellectual gifts that most conservatives are blessed with to make the message clear that it is really about the Law and American culture and not about the fear of the Little Brown People.
4. The Republican electorate is not going to rise up on this issue. For years we have taking a pounding from them Dem's that call all Republicans a bunch of fat, rich, racist white guys. The moment you let Pat and Savage start speaking for the rest of us we will have become what the Libs accuse us of. 5. When Pat starts suggesting impeachment then it is time to throw him and any other Lurker in the conservative movement down to the curb and Urinate on them.

George Putnam(a registered Democrat) has been ranting for decades about the illegals.

And the most livid people against illegal immigration that I have ever known are the native Californian Mexican-Americans!

And the GOP doesn't have to worry about the issue 'cause the 'Rats like the Los Alamos Loser, Richardson and NY Senator Clintoon have pulled the rug right out from under them.

GWB & the GOP had better get their act together soon or they won't have to worry about how to govern as the majority party...

Semper Fi,
Kelly

It's a game of "Two Card Monte" being played on American voters.

Yep, that's why I voted for a real American in the Constitution Party last year. We're being sold out. The "two party system" doesn't exist anymore.

This is why I have no respect for Bush. He sends our men to war and meanwhile let's all these illegal activities go on here at home. It's interesting how they expect us to pay our taxes meanwhile the government turns a blind eye to businesses paying illegals under the table. Of course, the illegals pay no taxes and yet collect on many of the local benefits. Sean Hannity said Bush would be remembered as a great president, give me a break. I consider him out of touch, elitist, and having questionable judgment.

What can we expect from a Klinton Krony who hasn't even the sense to wash and comb his hair and trades on the fact that his mother has Mexican ancestry.
