Published on Monday, August 29, 2005, in the Tracy Press. WASHINGTON — On Aug. 12, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson declared a state of emergency "due to a chaotic situation involving illegal alien smuggling and illegal drug shipments" 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 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" that 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?
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 try 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, 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 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."
While that is sad, I know of plenty of small historic towns in Kentucky that are nothing but ghettos now . . . and they are occupied with native Kentuckians.
Just maybe Pat thought that the REPUBLICAN Congress would have rid us of Bubba for many other felonies. We see how elites are handled in the "Two-Party Cartel".
This seems to be what Pat himself is saying in his article.
You are welcome. :-)
LMAO @ these idiots. How can they impeach Bush when they constantly say Bush is a idiot, Cheney is in charge, for cripes sake, impeach Cheney you lunatics, get your stories straight! Poor lefty lunatics, spewing nonsense, how much energy do these morons waste on a daily basis spewing garbage - shaking head, rolling eyes!
Ditto to that one
you are on a buchanan thread, and shoot the messenger is the standard response, regardless of what he is saying, unfortunately.
Welcome to the new FR.
"The only hope is for W to show some backbone on this situation."
He IS showing backbone, by standing up for what he believes in despite widespread popular support for the opposite.
There's lots of blame to go around.
Bush has been part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Most of the Senate has been a large part of the problem for a long time.
Buchanan is an idiot for resorting to this kind of rhetoric.
Illegal immigration is a serious issue, and to solve it we need to address it with serious plans, not a bunch of political hyperbole.
Remember what the Minute Men were called?
Yes it has.
And PJB was consistently opposed to illegal immigration when Klintoon was in office.
I don't blame him at all for venting his wrath at the pathetic pissant pseudo-conservative who currently occupies the White House.
I see you have picked up the DU talking points!
Frankly, your disingenuous and pernicious "spin control" is more in tune with the low standards practiced at that cesspit. I've come to believe that it's entirely possible that Carville and Rove are evil twins, separated at birth.
I'm not worried. Buchanan threads are like dynamite fuses, sparkling and burnt fingers are expected.
Actually, impeaching Bush may be the only way to keep Hillary out of the White House in 08.
After all, who are the strongest GOP candidates in the primary?
1. Frist - weak on judges
2. Giuliani - pro-choice, pro-gay
3. Jeb - haven't we had enough Bushes yet?
4. Whoever takes over for Bush when he is impeached and Cheney resigns
100% correct, doc. Terrorists and open borders don't mix, the illegal alien invasion goes against what Americans want, and all of this creates a BIG lack of confidence in our "leadership".
NO MORE VOTES FOR OPEN BORDERS POLITICIANS!
Yep, let's talk about Lawrence for example, that whole freakin' place is little Brazil, let's talk about Brockton, another Hispanic city, how about Framingham, etc. etc. etc. I don't even recognize my State anymore, and how many languages is the driving exam written in???????
When will the peasents-with-pitchforks show up at BOTH the doors of Congress AND the White House demanding something be done?
Pat has learned very quickly that the way to make money in the media business is to get attention. He pisses off someone on either side every time he opens his big fat pie hole. He's a wanna be Bill Oriliey.
2008 is going to be a total mess for the Republicans. We will be split in half like the Dems were in 2004. Sad, but it will happen. Strange feeling I have.
