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.
It's been asked many times and the only reply is some kind of personal attack.
ROFLMAO!
Oh, and BTW, it's KOOL Aide, people here use correct spelling and grammar and caps, when we post and only 12 year olds post the way you do.
Funny you should mention President Reagan and impeachment...particular since he sort of impeached buchanan when he fired his sorry arse.
It is a valid question.. I'm just waiting for an answer....
ZBigRedDogZ: Remove Pat Buchannan from the Gene Pool over general stupidity.
FR has had lots of sleeper trolls. They DO eventually get zotted.
But we must not question Pat Buchanan since he worked for Reagan...
Oh I agree it's a valid question but the Patsies will just ignore it.
I can't believe I spent an evening in this guys living room way back when. Where the hell was my head?
Naw they will call me a Bushbot or how dare I question him...
LOL! That sure does bring back memories. Kind of nostalgic seeing all those missing names.
Boring Buke.
LOL....yep;, I remember that one, as well as the one with Pat dressed all in black, as some kind of a pretend "cowboy". Those threads were something else again!
AMEN!
Yep. He gave that outfit to Alan Keyes when he jumped the shark.
Interesting. Both the left and the far right calling for impeachment. In a related vein if the Demos win control of the House Bush will be Impeached. He will not be removed from office but he will be impeached. If shots are fired during the impeachment?????
