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.
And to think I donated $25 to Pat's presidential bid in 1996. Is there any way I can get my money back?
Iran already has a president...and even with all the articles he writes defending the Islamic extremist enemies of America, I doubt they'd vote for him either.

I think he'd rather be Führer.
Back to the Bund meeting with you.
I agree with you. There are so many other people, like certain supreme court justices that need to be impeached first.
Besides our congress can barely keep from passing benefits for illegals, much less impeach the pres over them.
I agree with Pat on the need for a deportation program. But I would only deport criminals after serving their sentences. Otherwise, you send the message to illegals that the only punishment for committing crime is to be sent home.
I think World Nut Daily is just ticked off because Amazon discounted the crap out of pat's last book ON THE DAY IT WAS RELEASED and undercut the profit they had planned on making by selling their six copies of his book.
Oh I'm pretty worried about what some Buchanan Moonbat and his bad attempt at poetry say....
LOL
They forgot to cue up pat's theme song with this thread, "Springtime for Hitler".
It would never happen anyway. We have a congress that is 100% compliant with Bush's lack of immigration enforcement. We will have to impeach them at the polls.
and did you notice that World Nut Daily also got pat buchanan mini-me, tom tancredo, into the booking pimping article.
Pitchfork or meat thermometer, it doesn't make any difference...pat's done.
" But I would only deport criminals after serving their sentences. Otherwise, you send the message to illegals that the only punishment for committing crime is to be sent home. "
You have a point but i'd still rather ship them out (provided we secure the border). The cost of housing all these illegal alien criminals is tremendous.
Pages from Mein Kampf.
They do seem to cater to a certain type of crowd.
Who the H*** is Pat Buchanan and who the H*** gives a flying **** about him? He is totally irrelevant in today's world.
