Lincoln said no foreign army could ever defeat America, cross our mountains, or dip his toe in the Mississippi - unless we defeated ourselves first from within.

How do you arrest and deport a column 2 miles long? Ah but that right DOGMA not rationality is the order of the day now
Bush has effectively relinquished his position as president. He has the power to control the border and will not. He might as well step down now.
Not enough boats to ship them back on. Stem the tide at the border, then recognize reality and assimilate the rest.
Anyone else feel like a second class citizen to these non citizens?
The problem has now begun to change the outcome of the solution.
Going to deal with reality?
Joseph Farah for president!!!
Sadly, he's right. This country is as doomed as any in Europe.
Do we also check them everywhere else? I wonder how many people expressing this sentiment were so vehemently against a national I.D. card. Now, they seem to think that it's just fine to card people who protest certain topics.
There are ways to deal with this problem--few in Washington have the guts to DO THEIR DUTY and pursue them. But carding people while they protest? Not in MY USA.
Worthless stammering-fool president bump.
It's quite clear that two principles that have defined the US for over 200 years are coming to an end: (1) a unified culture, and (2) defined, arbitrary borders.
Now, rather than get exercised about the passing of an era, we should exhibit one of the core attributes that really makes the US great: flexibility - the ability to adapt to changing conditions.
There's no reason why the number of states or the shape of the lower 48 should be carved in stone; after all, the US has fought wars and expanded continuously over it's 225+ years.
Rather than wait for other countries to set our fate, we should seize the initiative and re-define what America is going to look like through the rest of the 21st century.
In other words, we should get serious about what it's going to involve absorbing Mexico. We could let their 31 states operate under some sort of loose confederation governed out of a regional capital in Mexico City, but the end result is that we need to create some sort of super federation.
With a a little application of free-market rule of law, including, but not limited to anti-trust provisions, land reform, mortgage financing, etc. we'd have 100m US citizens headed sur.
Admittedly, it might sound a little outlandish right now, but it's much more preferable to just sitting here and taking it in the rear.
Good article by Farah. Anyway, this is certainly I litmus test I'll place on every politician I vote for, from here on out. I'm not going to get burned again. If something is not done quickly to restore our borders (fences, walls, deportations, the whole works), I could care less if our whole government gets overthrown. There's no place too hot in Hell for some of these sell-out politicians. Like I mentioned in a previous in thread somewhere, any American supporting amnesty is no better than one supporting Al-Qaeda, as far as I'm concerned.
the people destroying the country who are showing their strength.
And while these protesters hurl mean-spirited verbal attacks at their hosts – calling them bigots and racists and intolerant – Americans sit back and watch.
I'm afraid most Americans have been successfully fattened up for slaughter.
He's right.
Americans have become so "open minded" their brains have fallen out.

I have been psuedo-blogging, for years, a couple of the elements in WWIV ( III being the Cold War ), in which we find ourselves engaged.
The first element?
Islam, a Religion of Peace®? ( links, blogs, quips, quotes, aggravating pictures ) is located here- click the Pic, and scroll backwards:
The other, somewhat interlocking element is this one:
"Thunder on the Border," click the picture:
What is happening under the radar is that the alien lobby, certain elements of radical Islam, and some on the Left share common goals, tactics, and exploitations of our system and society.
Not a conspiracy, but rather a "coming together on common points."

Had they stayed in mexico and demanded their rights they might have had a better Country. They are only willing to fight those they know they can bully and Bush has let them know he's got their back.
All the INS has needed over the last couple weeks is a supply of cattle prods and troop transport planes....these criminals have been in plain sight!
These demonstrations were organized and promoted by real pros
The illegals themselves not even the gangs have the tools necessary to orchestrate such nation wide events...without
help from the big Newspaper chains and big media...
So who is behind the scenes here...this wasnt just the pro illegal alien radio stations...
imo
The more pressure we keep on Mexico, immigration-wise, the more reformers
inside of Mexico can be emboldened and empowered to scale back monopolists'
abuses down there which keep our own country flooded with economic refugees.
Here's an interesting new thread on new legal reform progress that finally
emerged in Mexico I think as a result of immigration reform's failure:

We can make a difference for our sake, and their's as well. Isn't it the
neighborly thing to do?
