How right you are WRhine. It our own people who are letting this happen. I've written both my state rep. (a dem) and my state senator (a republican) about illegal immigration. We are now just starting to see new arrivials in North St. Louis County which has been traditionally just whites and blacks. Now more Mexicans and Muslim Bosnians are filtering in. I do not want these people in my neighborhood if they are getting subsidies or being sponsored by rich liberals who live in other neighborhoods. Nothing destroys middle and working-class neighborhoods faster than Section-8 housing.
We have to somehow take this battle right to the source. The elite politicians.
Taking a quote from the great Air Force General, Curtis LeMay, "The hell with swatting flys, go straight to the manure pile". He could have been talking about the politicians of today.
Couldn't agree more. The old saying that if you want to change things, vote out ALL the Incumbents (in both parties) is never more true than today. The political establishment has become so hidebound and unresponsive to the electorate they have become a power truly unto themselves with accountability to no one. Though there are a few politicians like Tom Tancredo who is rare exception to the idiocy (and greed) of most politicians.
Term limits is something I have always been for. It would go a long way towards solving growing crises that are accumulating in this country. Once the "Career" is taken out of “Politics” the ability of moneyed interests to influence political results is greatly diminished; and getting new representatives in on a regular basis makes for a much more responsive government.

I can't think of a better analogy to describe the quality of elected representatives today...LOL.
