Immigration: Where is the OUTRAGE??

The Sierra Times ^ | Dec. 20, 2002 | Jackie Juntti

I have been surfing the many news pages for months, and all the headlines, for the most part on a daily basis, mention the "War" in the Middle East. It is either Iraq, bin Laden, Palestine, Saudi Arabia or the like. Many articles about America going to fight over in that part of the world - the pretext being that we are fighting "terrorism".

I have yet to see headlines about the Invasion of America on our Southern Border. The SILENCE is deafening on this topic. The only time I read articles related to the Mexican invasion is when one or another ILLEGAL INVADER is spotlighted as not being able to get "instate tuition" at some tax funded school, or one of them needs very expensive medical care. All of this type of "news" coverage is based upon the bleeding heart mentality that we rich Americans should be opening our national door and bringing in all who wish to come and benefit from our years of hard work.

We have laws regarding "immigration" and we have a procedure to be followed to legally enter America. Many foreigners follow those rules and eventually are able to enter - legally - and then apply to become citizens. I welcome each and every one of those people. Members of my family originally entered America in this manner, coming in through Ellis Island. Another part of my family was here to greet them, as they were native Americans.

I can't fathom the silence of the media in reporting on the stealth invasion of America by all those who avoid detection at legal entry points. I can't understand why they are not making this a daily headline, with the numbers in bold print as they did during the Viet Nam war with the body counts.

I can't fathom why Bush, Cheney, Colin Powell, Ashcroft, and all those in Congress are not doing daily press conferences, alerting Americans to the invasion that has been, and continues to take place every single day of the year.

Where is the OUTRAGE they had following Sept. 11th? Do we need planes diving into buildings and fires raging in order to stand in front of cameras saying that AMERICA IS UNDER ATTACK!!!

Why are the leaders of this nation so silent on this INVASION at our Southern Border? What is the back room deal that has been cut to keep the Welcome Wagon Ladies standing there, tables heaped high with goodies paid for by the America taxpayer? Why are we not condemning Vicente Fox for sending in his stealth operatives as we condemn Osama bin Laden and his ilk? What is the difference?

We have almost daily "ALERTS!" about some threat of some kind from the "terrorists" but nothing about the INVASION of AMERICA from Mexico and elsewhere. Why is there such SILENCE on this matter?

Recently, Rudy Giulliani went to Mexico as a consultant to deal with the alarming crime rate there. In fact, he was alleged to be the target of a kidnapping attempt while there. I hope "dealing with the Mexican crime rate" doesn't mean sending them North to the U.S. Vicente Fox and his Coyotes have been doing that job already, and quite successfully.

I can hardly wait for Sen. 'Chatty' Patty Murray of Washington to hold a press conference exclaiming how Fox & Coyotes have built schools and all those same good things she is now applauding bin Laden for. Perhaps we will have Jim McDermott standing along side of her telling of his recent visit and how wonderful those folks are that just want to find a "better life" in America. Even better would be for all this to be "Bipartisan", and all those GOP politicians could stand with them pushing open the borders so everyone can have a miserable life when America is finally brought to her knees by the INVASION taking place before our eyes.

I am telling you, there is something mighty strange going on. America is being invaded and the leaders of America are pushing to open the gate even wider to the invaders. They have already granted AMNESTY to thousands and now want to grant more options for the last wave of invaders. They are keeping a lid on any news that exposes this invasion - twisting it to promote only the "plight" of those poor downtrodden ILLEGALS, so as to build up more bleeding hearts to open our homes to the invading troops. They won't even refer to them as what they are - illegal invading troops - they refer to them as "undocumented aliens" - that is supposed to make us feel sorry for them and to ignore the fact that our laws have been violated.

We also have George W. Bush - the president of AMERICA - opening the Social Security benefits to Mexicans. I guess welfare, education, health care, housing, unemployment, isn't enough. We need to send them SS checks too.

Maybe we should bring Rudy Giulliani back here to deal with the ALARMING CRIME RATE in the Federal Government. We have men in high places openly subverting American law and our Constitution. If nothing else, maybe Rudy, with his recent experience at attending funerals, could officiate over the death of America as we knew it.

Where is the OUTRAGE?

Bye, bye, Miss American Pie, Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry. Them good ol' boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing 'This'll be the day that I die, 'This'll be the day that I die.'"

I suggest you do the same then.

[FITZ]

I assume Fox is your president anyway because you seem completely unwilling to question a single of his motives and worship the ground he walks on. Whatever he dictates, we must obey, that way he doesn't have to solve a single problem of his country.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Better watch out for PRND21 FITZ, he/she likes to send insulting e-mails and then threaten to post what you say if you're not nice to him/her on the board. He/she is quite amusing to say the least and if it wasn't so pathetic I'd laugh.

It's not a matter of ending immigration, but rather focusing on those who have skills and are employable. Even then, it shouldn't be so overwhelming it displaces American workers as H1-B visas are doing.

They need to seriously reform immigration ---actually many non-working types come in by using family sponsors who only need to be 125% over federal poverty levels ---of course they only need to find ONE such relative, the rest can be quite wealthy and then the sponsor's income is considered in with theirs when qualifying for SSI, Medicaid and many other handout programs. Or many come over and have anchor babies which then qualifies them to stay and collect welfare, use our hospitals, schools and the rest. So many immigrants use this system and collect welfare while and at the same time it can be quite difficult to someone who is willing to leave their family back in Mexico to just come and work, but the only thing they intend to do is work for any dime they get.

They need to seriously reform immigration ---

In 1996 they almost did, short by only 29 votes in the House to pass the Jordan Commission's recommendations. They would have cut the family chain and lowered legal immigration back down to 250,000 by now. It would have also given first priority to those with skills. Maybe Congress will revisit that legislation next session. Gekas did resubmit the bill this year but he lost so I don't know what's going to happen with it.

Btw, in another post I saw you mention the border area near you was tightening up, so maybe there is more going on than we know about, at least with illegal immigration.

"I'm still waiting to see somebody here pop to the right conclusion on why illegals are still valuable to the cartels after they reach their new home. Any takers?"

Hello, JackelopeBreeder,

I've been lurking on this thread, successfully resisting the temptation to jump in to the fire, until now. My curiosity overcame the fear of looking like a fool (like this would be the first time anyway), so here is my best guess.

Do those illegals also serve as "distributors" for the Recreational Pharmaceutical, Inc., after they reach their destination?

[nicollo]

Thanks for your ping on that other thread. As I can't chew gum, drink whiskey (sorry no tequila -- but I do have a GREAT story about the last time I drank tequila... it somehow involved a lesbian bar in Asuncion, Paraguay... but maybe I'm remembering it all wrong) and navigate FR at the same time...

So here's my question, inspired by the other thread, and this:

Is the illegal scene different in CA, AZ, NM, and TX, and if so, how and why? I suppose the most important distinctions are between CA and TX, but I throw in the others as they have problems, too.

PS Tell Chong I want, at least, a bad photocopy of your autographed photo...

[timestax]

Until anger is directed at the builders, landscape companies, hotel conglomerates and industrial facilities and farms that hire the illegals, it is totally ineffectual to complain. Penalise the businesses and watch the migrations dry up.

DITTO !!!

[nicollo]

If you're just starting to read through this thread, you're in for a ride. Buckle up, and enjoy.

Merry Christmas!

[nicollo]

I hope anyone who questions immigration (wait! we're not against immigration, we're against illegal immigration) goes to your homepage and reads that little oath you put up there.

Yes, indeed. Oaths may not be taken seriously in courts or at the beginning of a session of Congress, but this one, I'd say, carries more weight than others.

It's nice to be reminded. Go there, folks.

[PRND21]

...and then threaten...

Overplayed your hand, there.

[PRND21]

I assume Fox is your president

Assumption incorrect.

[Chong]

Pssssttttttt!
Don't tell anyone about the photo I posted on my homepage. :-)

Anywho, someone suggested that I post a thread about the Oath of Citizenship and I just might do it one of these days to remind all of us what being an American is about.

What do you think?

[biffalobull]

QUESTION: "Immigration: Where is the OUTRAGE??" ANSWER: There is none. People are too busy eating, drinking, drugging, copulating(with boys and girls),evacuating and snoring.

SOOOOOOO True. LMAO.

[nicollo]

Put it up. Don't forget to ping all us skeptics and fighters on this thread.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Overplayed your hand, there.

I'll keep the e-mails handy and post them in case any of your wise comments come my way.

[4Freedom]

"Don't forget to ping all us skeptics and fighters on this thread."

How about the race-baiters and liars that are the real racists on this thread? Can he ping them, too?

I only ask that, because one of them called me a "xenophobic lump of coal," after he admitted he lied when he claimed he was Mexican just to deliberately disrupt the thread.

The longer we keep that guy and his libertarian buddies posting, the more they demonstrate that it's them and their race-baiting, lying ilk that are the problem in this country.

[PRND21]

...your wise comments...

Thanks.

[timestax]

I'm f*nking outraged, big time!
