President Bush is fond of saying that he believes in the "Rule of Law" yet he does not secure our borders which is his Constitutional duty. The War in Iraq is justified by telling the American public that our young men are dying in Iraq so the terrorists will not attack American soil with weapons of mass destruction. Despite this grave threat to national security the President and Congress refuse to secure American borders and continue to allow illicit drugs to pour through our borders.
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last. ~ Winston Churchill
This policy of immigration appeasement ruins the lives of millions of Americans, is expensive to the taxpayer and represents a decline in western civilization. While millions of American families go without health care insurance the illegal immigrant gets free health care, public education and Social Security Benefits. This appeasement is rationalized away by saying "America is a nation of Immigrants" but in fact all the nations of Planet Earth are composed of immigrants. Unlike the immigrants of colonial times who eked out a living in the wilderness or died the illegal immigrant of today is subsidized by the American taxpayer from the cradle to the grave.
Americans believe in paying a debt for their crimes whether it is: littering, jay walking, speeding, robbery, rape or murder. Unlike the illegal immigrant American citizens have no "sanctuary" cities which they can flee to in order to circumvent the "Rule of Law." The establishment of sanctuary cities undermines Constitutional concept of "Equality under the Law."
This hypocrisy is not lost upon the average American. There is a reason why Joe Arpaio is the most popular sheriff in the nation. Most Americans do love their country and respect the "Rule of Law."
It is a curious fact that human beings think with words. Language is the vehicle for the expression of ideas and is the basis of human dialogue and communication. Commonality of language is important for the survival of a nation state. Anyone who has watched a foreign film with subtitles can testify as to how difficult it can be to watch but imagine living in a society replete with foreign languages and no subtitles at all.
U.S. English Inc. reports that there are 322 languages spoken in the United States. 207 are spoken in California and 59 in Wyoming. There are 135 languages spoken in Los Angeles County alone.
Education is a Pillar of Freedom and the youth of America should be encouraged to be multilingual but there is wisdom in a nation state possessing a core language which in America is English. American society is becoming a veritable Tower of Babel. What Roman Emperor, Senator, Centurion, Citizen or Slave would have ever dreamed that their mother tongue of Latin would one day be a dead language? It can happen to us.
There is great practicality, beauty and majesty in each American saying:
I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
President Bush with the support of republicans and democrats from both houses of Congress are promoting a "comprehensive" immigration plan which includes amnesty for some thirteen million illegal immigrants.
This appeasement is rationalized by claiming that the illegal immigrants are necessary because they will do work that Americans will not due. This is an insult to our forefathers who settled and developed the wilderness as well as to families who need to have both parents working full time today in order to support their families. The failure of the President, Congress, The Immigration and Naturalization Service, and other governmental agencies which ought to protect its citizens collude to reward the illegal immigrant and thereby denigrate the Rule of Law.
The illegal immigrant can forge identification papers, work under the table without paying taxes and get free health care insurance. If an American citizen were to forge identification papers or work under the table without paying taxes they would go to jail if caught. No sanctuary cities for them. The American citizen gets no free health insurance. They must go bankrupt before getting free health care or they go without. The business who hires the illegal immigrant is not prosecuted. This simply makes a mockery of respect for "Law and Order."
Semper Eadum – Always the Same ~Elizabeth I
The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife. Theodore Roosevelt
In 376 A.D. the Roman Emperor Valens did what no Roman Emperor had ever done before him. The scene was on the frontier of the Roman Empire at the River Danube. Valens allowed a horde of Gothic refugees to enter Roman territory. Valens offered the Goths "amnesty." Years later these Goths would revolt and kill the emperor and most of his Army at the battle of Hadrianople.
and we do what is proposed in the article but other countries do the same to us on ALL our borders and when we go abroad too. Also, let other countries have a look at ' our' illegals, like those nice elderly people who go there to have sex or buy drugs or other things. Let bygones be bygones, right?
Illegal immigration is a problem. But it is a symptom,not a cause. Introducing a police regime on the borders will just be another problem, this time affecting everyone because forever in history the closed or closely guarded borders were not against the external enemey- those were against the people inside. In short, immigration problem can be solved if the proper people work on that and also if the people involved, immigrants are heard. And for those who thing that there is such thing as a 'legal citizen' I recommend to read the Military Commissions ACT from Y2006 and understand that each of us can become ' illegal' fairly quickly.
