Thank you, JustPiper. Could it be you're the Pied Piper? A good one, of course. I am relieved that you came on the scene. Everything is coming together now and we can take action.

Amnesty: Treason on a stick.
They are different groups of people, regardless of their country of origin, and the political issues that concern them are different in their effects and needs. Confusing the two may be lethal to our society, economy and sovereignty.
We already have a guest worker program, which may indeed need to be reformed. But illegal aliens are those who have not applied to be guest workers. There are 11 million of them by some estimates, 20 million by others. The only thing needing reform concerning illegal aliens is to enforce the existing laws respecting their presence and their employment here. Our sovereignty and rule-of-law demand it.
Border security is the number one problem in this debate. The flood of illegal aliens is a major factor in relation to our lack of border security but it is only one factor. There is also a matter of national security in a time of war and in an age when terrorists have set their sights on inflicting mass destruction on our society.
After the issues of border security and millions of illegal foreign nationals on our soil the matter of guest workers is very small in comparison. Until the first two problems are thoroughly and firmly addressed the guest worker issue should not even be discussed.
The President and the Senate need to get that message with unambiguous resolve.
The best methods to control the border have been studied and debated for a long time now. There are many good ideas and proven solutions. What is lacking is only the will to do it. The cost of controlling our borders will be insignificant compared to the price we will pay, both in security and economy, if we do not.
It would be nice to help everyone in the world lift themselves up out of poverty. But we cannot take that responsibility upon ourselves especially if we ignore our own welfare to the point that we are no longer prosperous.
Other nations of the world have an obligation to help their citizens every bit as much as we have to help ours. It is one thing to help other nations prosper it is quite another to relieve them of their own responsibilities. Beyond that it is simply not realistic to think that poverty can be ended around the world. We still have some in this great nation.
We must stop pandering to American employers who criminally employ illegal foreign nationals. Dry up the jobs and illegal foreign nationals will go home. Home where they can do what they must to put their houses in order just as we must put ours in order.
There is no compassion in filling a man's stomach or his pocketbook by relieving him of his responsibilities in life. Illegal aliens have abandoned their own house in order to be comfortable in ours. By so doing neither can be the master of his own house and both will be enemies in the street. This is our house, the U.S. of A., and it is our responsibility to set the rules in it.
Thank you, JustPiper. Could it be you're the Pied Piper? A good one, of course. I am relieved that you came on the scene. Everything is coming together now and we can take action.

The "I was Upper Middle Income in Another Life" Piper
I have read stories of parents deserting their kids to come here for work. (Now they claim they are "slaves".) Then, the kids come looking for their parents at terrible peril. Sick. Sick. Sick. What kind of person abandons their children like that? The kind that lack moral integrity &/or lack regard for civil obedience.
Dry up the jobs and illegal foreign nationals will go home.
Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!! Agree totally with you!
Here we are! The FR SuperPatriots for Borders, Language and Culture.
I've bookmarked at least 4 posted articles yet to read ...
It's still Saturday night on the Left Coast and I'm having pie and coffee while waiting for MAD TV to start ... any minute.
Then, to sleep and waken to "Face the Nation."
I checked my local listings and it's scheduled for 8:30 a.m. PDT.
It may be a different time in different areas. Also, Masters Golf was rained out today, so that may tweak the Sun. A.M. schedule. Good luck in catching it, everyone!
Thanks, JP and Kinetic!
Too busy here!
We are witnessing a communist insurgency, in all honesty. And no politician may condone it, it is a violation of the oath of office.
We need to hold our elected officials accountable to the Constitution and the Constitutional rights of AMERICAN CITIZENS.
Terribly popular issue now aren't we? ;)
BTW Kinetic= My homeschooled Daughhter

Somewhere, on a thread long ago, Jeff said to (paraphrasing) "keep your head" and come back when things or you have cooled down. I have lurked many a time in just that venue.
I can't think of a time when I have posted or read an illegal invader thread that I haven't thought of, and even stopped a prayed for, those FReepers who led this movement.
And how are you this fine Saturday night? :-)
