The Green March - Illegal immigration and strategy of unarmed invasion - ALAN KEYES

Throughout history one of the key aims in warfare has been the successful implementation of a covert attack. Hannibal defeated and destroyed several Roman armies thanks to his masterful orchestration of battles that made his opponent the victim of such an attack. What he taught at the strategic level, the Romans mastered at the level of Grand Strategy, positioning themselves for the conquest of vast territories under the guise of interventions that seemed innocuous or even helpful to those they intended to dominate. They invaded and established strongholds of power in the midst of their intended victims camouflaged by declared purposes and intentions that concealed their strategic effect. Often it was only revealed when they exercised the domination it made possible. Their victims slumbered in the delusion of liberty, until the suave accents of diplomacy or arbitration gave way to the curt voice of arrogant command that signified its ruin.

Is this now to be the fate of the USA? In my latest WND.com article I characterized the reality of illegal immigration as a foreign invasion. I pointed out that the U.S. Constitution does not require U.S. government authorization before the government of one of the United States responds to an actual foreign invasion. I knew when I wrote it that some people would take exception to the notion that the peaceful mobilization of unarmed civilians can reasonably be called an invasion. They want to dismiss such language as inflammatory rhetoric and hyperbole.

We have the means to discourage and prevent illegal aliens. We simply haven’t been using it, but they are effective when used.

It started in with the Immigration Act of 1965. Teddy Kennedy was a big part of getting it passed. It was also part of the Dems idea of making the US look like the world, an outgrowth of the civil rights movement.

Somewhat off-topic, but I’ve always thought the Zimmerman Telegram odd. They offered the Mexicans TX, AZ and NM but did not mention California.

I once read, in an old history of cryptanalysis, that the Zimmermann Telegram was a British forgery and roorback.

1. Teddy was also accustomed to having compromising conversations "off the record" with Soviet diplomats like Anatoly Dobrynin (Soviet ambassador to the U.S.) and Yuri Andropov, when he was General Secretary of the CPSU.

2. Unrestricted Mexican immigration was something LBJ had been fomenting for a dozen years by the time that bill passed. He'd tried to flout President Eisenhower and hold the floodgates open back in 1953-4, but Eisenhower euchred "Landslide Linton" by dealing with the problem via Executive Orders.

If it was, I’m unsure why the German ambassador to America admitted it was genuine.

I suspect what you’re thinking of is the fact that its discovery was a result of British spying and they concealed the way it was discovered to protect sources of intelligence.

Can't disagree with a thing he says. Good post, good article.

[lentulusgracchus]

Could be -- old memory from 1970.

I wasn't aware the German ambassador had "owned up" to its genuineness. When and why would he do that? Taciturnity is the soul of diplomacy.

[Sherman Logan]

Misremembered myself. Apparently it was the German Foreign Minister who admitted the genuineness of the message, twice.
