And it's not the American way.
If people here want to resign themselves to Meso-America, and have the experiment of Mexifornia repeated across the country-as well as welcoming the erection of a grand mosque in every state capital in this country-then that's their prerogative.
However, to advise other conservative, patriotic Americans to follow that defeatist path is unconscionable, in my opinion.
Because I understand economics, my effective tax rate is 0%, and has been so for years. I've done nothing that anyone else cant do, so that dog wont hunt.
I'm not in the habit of letting the Government determine my fate.
Probably end up with the same constitution Iraq got...
We must put these traitors under TERM LIMITS
imo
Hang in there Cowboy, I think America's gonna need you soon.
lol. But it doesn't appear to make an impact on them.
Who said anything about settling for the status quo? I didn't.
I'm saying that any contrived March to DC won't do anything. As a matter of fact, unless you get several hundred thousand attendees (and you probably won't), chances are that it won't do anything.
'...even the 'honest types' are being expertly organized by every socialist/communist group in America...'
I believe you are right on the money! How else could hundreds of thousands of people converge if not expertly organized by a backer with experience and money.
Mr. Morones on Bill O'Reilly's show implied the illegal immigrants are coming to America to make it a better country. How considerate of them. But, since they prefer to carry flags of their home country vs the American flag, I wonder, why don't they simply work to make their own countries better? I believe, Mr. Morones commented that America is causing terrorism. That speaks volumes. It would be very interesting to know who is financially supporting Mr.Morones, Border Angels.
Bill O'Reilly proposed good solutions to the illegal immigrant problem. Hope the Administration was listening.
I pray citizens who truly love our great country, America, will wake up before it's too late.
They want California so badly, they can have it, and we take Mexico. Now there's a plan!:)
Seems we have been trying that since I started voting.........
Term limits are the answer...in my opinion.
FRegards,
Good point. And I think we could extract those payments pretty readily.
What does Mexico ship us that we could throw back besides illegals? If we attempted to block their goods at a POE, we'd be doing time in Gitmo or Ft Leavenworth.
Hell, NO.
First off, a Constitutional Convention would do what the first did. It'd go hog wild with amendments that have no basis under the call to arms. And odds are very good that the first one that would be arms-related. And that it'd pass the state legislators. And that we'd be short on a Constitutional RKBA real quick.
I'd instigate civil OBEDIENCE in places that are serving illegal aliens before I would ever push for a Constitutional Convention. First off, one might utilize the most dangerous and smelly day laborers' services, having them knock on neighborhood doors and solicit people to vote for political candidates...the ones who aren't doing $#!# about crimmigrants.
Also, it'd be simple to start networking so that parents can report the names and addresses of children who are illegal aliens in public schools to Homeland Security, and publicize the HS workers who do nothing to stop them from being there, as it would save a ton of money and embarrass do-nothing HS workers publicly and the people that stop the hardworking ones from doing their jobs. It would be equally simple to make companies that are known to be hiring illegals fire them, producing a file of known illegals employed there, and sending it both to HS, the company, and the newspapers. Same for illegals' crash pads. Find a dirt lawyer willing to sue for the lost property values and harass property owners of these slum houses.
Additionally, it would be fair to simply take advantage of the opportunities that illegal workers present. For example, there's a video bouncing around that shows a young guy picking up illegal day laborers as if he was going to hire them, then dropping them in front of the INS. I don't advocate that, but anywhere there is a known day-laborer pickup spot, organizing friends to create a traffic slowdown on that block could really hurt illegals' pocketbooks.
It's already stated twice in the US Constitution that the states are to be protected from invasion.
I don't know how much more obvious it can be to our elected officials than that.
What good will it do to call for an amendment to the Constitution which most of them are already ignoring now -- the Constitution they are sworn to uphold.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Article 1. Section 8. Clause 15.
[The Congress shall have Power]
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
and
Article 4. Section 4.
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion;
But isn't it in there already? All invaders foreign and domestic? It's not just like that, I realize.
I want to know when our marches are going to start. It's obviously time to mobilize against the immivaders.
I like this idea. After reading this whole thread, a CC is a little scary to me. Just my 2 cents.
They don't and won't pay a bit of attention to the Constitution.
They don't and won't pay attention to the laws that they and their predecessors have already passed.
They are whores who sell their votes to the highest bidder/donor.
They might pay attention to tar and feathers.
**Of course, there are a few who aren't greedy, self-serving egomaniacs and who actually care about the country; and Freepers know who they are. My above comments don't apply to those few honorable rep.
