Republican calls president 'derelict' in duty: 'This is not Ellis Island, this is an invasion'
Author Pat Buchanan says President Bush should be impeached for failing to stop the invasion of illegal aliens across the U.S. border with Mexico.
"I think he's committed an impeachable offense in refusing to enforce the immigration laws and in failing to uphold the Constitution by defending the states against this invasion," Buchanan told radio talk-show host Curt Smith this weekend on National Public Radio stations in upstate New York.
"When you have 6 million people apprehended on the border and several million got in on your watch – and you have the ability to stop it – I think you're derelict in your duty," he said. "And if the president says 'I can't do it,' you need a new president who will do it."
"This is not Ellis Island," said Buchanan. "This is an invasion."
Buchanan, who is a WND columnist, is the author of the best-selling book, "State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America." The book paints a dim portrait of America's future: "The children born in 2006 will witness in their lifetimes the death of the West."
"As Rome passed away, so, the West is passing away, from the same causes and in much the same way. What the Danube and Rhine were to Rome, the Rio Grande and Mediterranean are to America and Europe, the frontiers of a civilization no longer defended."
Buchanan follows Rep. Tom Tancredo's warning shot, "In Mortal Danger," with some sobering statistics and new ways to consider the crisis. He states:
One in every twelve people breaking into America has a criminal record.
By 2050, there will be 100 million Hispanics
concentrated in the U.S. Southwest.
Between 10 and 20 percent of all Mexicans, Central Americans and people of the Caribbean have already moved to the United States.
Every month, the U.S. Border Patrol apprehends more illegal aliens breaking into our country, 150,000, than the number of troops we have in Iraq.
"Concerned about his legacy, George W. Bush may yet live to see his name entered into the history of his country as the president who lost the American Southwest that James K. Polk won for the United States," Buchanan writes.
In addition to charging the Mexican government with plotting territorial reconquest, the former presidential candidate also says elites in Mexico and the U.S. are conspiring to erase America's borders and merge the United States and Mexico into a "North American Union."
To avert disaster, Buchanan's recipe includes:
A deportation program, beginning with all illegal aliens convicted of felonies and every gang member not a U.S. citizen.
A 10-year limit on legal immigration to between 150,000 and 250,000.
Building a security fence along the 2,000-mile border.
Buchanan points out that the illegal alien population of the U.S. today exceeds the total number of Irish, Jewish and British immigrants who ever came to the U.S.
He disputes those who contend illegal immigration has economic benefits for the U.S., saying instead the trend represents a massive drain on the economy.
I remeber some of those names when I first signed up....
Ah, Pat.
The Liberals favorite "conservative". Well, theirs and those "republicans" that hate conservatives as well.
Pat takes conservative positions like appointing constitutional judges and none acceptance of amnesty, and then he walks off the cliff.
Sure, I'm mad at the President on this issue, but impeachment for what even his precious favorite Nixon allowed? Don't be absurd.
HE doesn't speak for me. J.D. Hayworth and Jeff Sessions speak for me.
Thomas Jefferson got Congress to pass the Embargo Act prohibiting all exports. That worked about as well as most government action that block trade.
I'm amazed anyone still buys LooseChanan's nonsense or his books. The man is obviously bitter about his career choice. He realized some time ago that he should have become a lawyer and defended accused Nazi war criminals. Instead he collected a lot of confused Jewish votes in Palm Beach County that likely were meant for Gore and allowed GWB to win.
Anyone who says there is no God or that He has no sense of humor obviously hasn't considered just how severely and ironically LooseChanan was punished in 2000 for his actions in helping to weaken GHWB in 1992 and foisting Clinton on us all. Pat lost most of his marbles in 2000 when he realized his confused Jewish votes cost Gore the election. Poor Pat -- he can't help it ... he was born with a silver jackboot on his foot!
There are still of the old time patsies around but you don't see them posting much...the life seems to have gone out of their party.
No, just the black hat. LOL
Guess what it was bad policy..
I remember all of them.....that sure was a trip down memory lane and NOT a good one.
Every now and then they'll start a thread on LP talking about their exploits on FR and how they told us we're not conservatives before being banned.
I agree..
Pat's off his lithium again.
The brigades are now down to less than battalion strength. Pat should move to France and join LePen's party where there are a lot more followers of that sort of politician.
I enjoyed it.
I often wonder what ever happened to some of them after they "departed" FR. I think I saw something once over at TOS claiming Arator had become a coyote and was smuggling Mexicans into Arizona.
Oh, don't worry. There are quite a few things in the works right now that are going to help seal the border; first, DHS is letting private contractors figure out how!
:-)
You're so clever and funny, it must be against the law! hehehehehe
Don't forget the ones that said JR was part of an illegal alien prostitution ring or some bulls*t along those lines.

Wow, look at some of the old comments from that thread:
"Add a foreign policy that has taken us from the most respected country in the world to one where our friends have become fewer and fewer." -ex-snook
That was serious too. Talking about how Bill Clinton at the time made us look in the world's eyes. If anyone said that now, they'd be a troll.
So is that two illegal alien prostitution rings or one?
