Let's face it - a border wall will never completely stop entry by illegal aliens or smugglers & their contraband but they do work and have a marked effect on curtailing both the illegal entry of aliens and the smuggling of contraband into a country. They also would have enormous beneficial effects on our national security and economy. All the best, Glenn B
When you vote, as an illegal alien, you are not suddenly a citizen! Yet, you said when you vote you are a citizen! The right thing to have answered was that only U.S. citizens can vote in the upcoming election and for an illegal, or even a legal, alien to do so in our elections would be a criminal act. The fact is that when you are a citizen is when you can vote, aliens cannot legally vote in our federal elections. That would have been the right thing to say along with telling the interviewer, who claims to be an illegal alien, that it would be a heinous and criminal act to vote when not a citizen and that it would be dealt with appropriately.
Let's face it, let no one make any mistake about your answer and its obvious intent - you were evidently encouraging an illegal act relative to one of our most cherished rights and important responsibilities - the act of a citizen casting his or her vote during an election. There can be absolutely no mistake as to what the woman asked you. She asked you if she, as an illegal alien, votes - will Immigration come looking for her.
It seems to me that you then gave an answer that in every conceivable way goes to encourage illegal aliens to illegally vote in Tuesday's election. You have apparently encouraged an illegal act and you are the president of the nation against which that crime would be committed. You sir, in my opinion, are worthy of only one thing - immediate impeachment.
...than the one posed on this poster. I am sure that Oblubbermouth President Obama and his minion would have a whole slew of answers but not even one of them that would make any logical sense.
...in the Mediterranean apparently on its way to Italy or another European nation (source).
Sometimes other people's misfortunes are a blessing to others and I am pretty sure that Italy did not need another 700 leeches sucking their already pathetic economy dry. Too bad those folks did not stay in their own country and truly work hard at bettering it and life there instead of fleeing adversity to try to live off of the hard work of others who are already suffering from financial and other hardships.
Is it wrong to say that Italy just got very lucky? Perhaps it might be looked at as crudely insensitive and ethically wrong to say it but the truth is the truth. I am not a bible thumper but I believe that there is merit to the saying: 'The Lord helps they who help themselves.' And brother believe me, that does not mean they who help themselves to what others have worked for and earned.
The recent surge of illegal aliens who entered the USA was in the tens of thousands. After entry they went to an agency like U.S. Immigration & Customs Services (USCIS) or to Immigration & Customs Enforcement to register. After registration they were supposed to return for follow-up appointments with government agencies. Should it come as any surprise that up to 70% of those so called immigrants (all illegal aliens not really lawful immigrants) did not show up for those follow-up visits. Seventy percent, 7 out of every 10 of them, a vast majority, almost 3/4s of them apparently just skedaddled like roaches when the light are turned on and disappeared into whatever cracks they could find in which to hide. And the leftists all wail that the only illegal thing thy do, for the most part, is to enter illegally and then say they lead wonderfully law abiding lives as American residents. Well, it is time to call it as it is and that is that those claims are total bullshit! It cannot be any more evident than it is from the apparently secretly recorded revelation that came out of the mouth of a government official. The article reporting this shows the actual number to be approximately 41,000 illegal aliens who did not show up for those follow-up appointments (source). and once again are evidently violating the law or other government regulations or procedures.
I don't know about what you are thinking on this issue but I have a few thoughts:
Temporarily close down the border to all immigration from Mexico, until the Mexican government controls its own border shared with us. Deport every illegal alien within the USA. Strengthen sanctions against those who employ illegal aliens and eliminate mitigating factors that lessen fines or jail time. Enforce laws already on the books against illegal entry into the USA and enforce to the maximum extent of the law. Criminally prosecute repeat offenders and sentence them to hard labor in prison camps like the one run my Sheriff Arpaio in AZ Rewrite Immigration and Naturalization law and require that the new law have at least 75 percent of the volume cut out making the law simpler and easier to understand and enforce. Apply the law and Immigration quotas equally applicable to all nationalities. Make it easier for educated but unskilled laborers to enter the USA but more difficult for highly educated and skilled ones o enter. They should have to start at the bottom and work their way up through the generations; this would give them incentive to achieve the American dream instead of allowing arrogant snobs entry here who mock our customs and laws. Require that every legal alien apply for and take the test for citizenship within 5 years of entry into the USA. Require a tough English language test and a decent US history test must be passed in order to acquire citizenship.
I could add more but that would be a good start. Oh yeah, I will add just one other small thing:
Impeach Obama and criminally prosecute anyone in his administration that had anything to do with facilitating Operation Fast & Furious.
...that I posed here, I saw this headline tonight: Pelosi, Boehner say econ bill won't benefit illegal immigrants. Could they be getting the message, or is it just going to be this way because it is an election year, and them arranging tax rebates for illegal aliens would guarantee an ultra leftist demoncrat Democrat not getting into The Whitehouse. Heck, I am no lib on this issue for sure, but I could almost see giving tax rebates to illegal aliens who actually paid taxes before giving rebates to citizens who paid no taxes because they did not earn enough money. But then again, if we did give rebates to illegal aliens, then I think the law should be written that said money immediately must go to pay for their air or bus tickets to facilitate their deportations. Of course,, that is just my personal opinion, and not my government employee opinion; and in no way does my opinion - quite obviously - reflect the opinion of the United States Government, the President, The Vice president, The Head of ICE which is my agency, or any political candiadte likely to win their party'snomination. If only my opinion did reflect theirs though (or should I say that theirs should be reflective of mine), things might be better in this country for her citizens and legal resident aliens.
I was wondering, since the Democrats seem so much in favor of giving people Tax Rebates, who have not paid taxes, does that mean that they also will be giving Tax Rebates to illegal aliens? Something to ponder, and I'll see if any of them will answer that question. Hmm, 20 million illegals x $300 each = $6,000,000,000. Let's hope this is not part of the Tax Rebate - Economic Bailout Plan because that would be per rebate year, so if this happens at all, then goes on more than a year - ouch to our economy - again thanks to idiotic politicians and more illegals. Wouldn't that just be grand! Hell no. We could use that money to round em up and deport em, and probably have something left over if we did it with fiscal responsibility.
...certainly are going to become a very common sight at the borders of the United States of America; and of course by Americans I mean Americans as in country not as in continent because I am speaking about citizens of the United States of America. It is now required that each U.S. Citizen have a valid passport in order to enter the country from foreign soil, and this now includes from neighboring countries across out land borders. Yes I realize that people were recently given a sort of a reprieve and do not need passports to reenter from Mexico or Canada for the time being, but they still need a receipt showing they have applied for a valid U.S. passport.
Now I wonder, and I mean this sincerely, can you imagine a guy like Harry Reid, or like George W. Bush, feeling any sympathy for you if you lose your U.S. passport (meaning you are already a U.S. Citizen) and then sneak into the USA over the land border. What do you think will happen to you. Do you think you will be detained, arrested, fined, or jailed. It is quite possible that at least one or two of these things will happen. Maybe there is something else that will happen, will you be excluded, or in other words if caught immediately upon illegal entry into the USA, will you be forced to return to the country from whence you just departed such as Mexico or Canada as are illegal aliens who are caught at the border? I also wonder, and maybe you do too, what will happen to U.S. Citizens who sneak in and actually make it home away from the border. Will they be hunted down like illegal aliens should be hunted down. Will they then be interrogated, detained, arrested, fined or jailed?
Think about these questions, and think about them long and hard. You see, if the U.S. Government does not enforce this new law, then it is a farce and it will do nothing to really protect us from terrorists crossing our borders. Remember this is why the law or regulation was enacted in the first place. U.S. Citizens are required to have a U.S. passport to reenter the USA supposedly in order to help the government fight terrorism by making it harder for terrorists to enter our country. Now the government cannot produce passports fast enough and all you need for now is a receipt to show you have applied for one.
I have thought about all of this. If there is going to be strict enforcement this plan will work out great.; but will there be strict enforcement? Will there be fines or jail time for those of us citizens of the greatest nation on the earth if and when we enter our own country illegally? Maybe and maybe not, but probably not judging on the track record of our government. I mean just look to the entry of illegal aliens who flood across our border like an unstoppable Tsunami. They keep coming and our politicians, the ones who hold the reigns of power, do extremely little to absolutely nothing to really put a stop to this illegal entry, so how could they possibly do any different with U.S. Citizens. Hmm, wait a minute, let me give a bit more thought to this. They already have done differently, haven't they? They require U.S. Citizens to be documented at the borders don't they; but they do not require illegal aliens to have any documentation now do they! In fact they have gone so far, as seen in my last blog previous to this one, to call illegal aliens - undocumented Americans.
Many of our politicians welcome illegal aliens across our borders, and encourage more to enter illegally, with promises of amnesty, or what in essence amounts to amnesty, and a path to legal residence and ultimately to citizenship. Isn't that ironic and ridiculous? Should the current Immigration Reform Bill pass, then once these folks are legalized, what makes our government think that they will even for a moment consider getting valid U.S. Passports in order to legally cross the borders and help prevent terrorism while doing so? So then why is it that our political bosses are giving all these special considerations to people who have broken our laws in order to enter this country or in order to remain in this country beyond the period for which they may have been legally admitted? You and I both know the answer, they are seeking future votes for themselves and their parties, and they are seeking cheap labor for big business (don't ever let the leftists fool you into believing they do not support big business types that make donations to their political war chests - just look to Gorge Soros and to Hollywood moguls, and to any big business man who supported Bush).
Now you may also wonder, heck why is it that out government leaders give more benefits to illegal aliens while at the same time taking away our own liberties and requiring us to have passports and such. Well you see, if you are an adult over the age of 21, and are a U.S. Citizen, you are probably already a registered voter, and if not you are not likely to become one. So they know they have you pegged already, and they don't care as much about you as they do about 12 million new votes, and millions of cheap laborers. As for our children who will grow up to be voters, I guess they figure it this way: these kids will be so screwed up because of their parents' influence they will keep voting the way it has been for some time now - very far left and very loony - and I mean that even when we vote for most Republicans. Almost all of the candidates out there do not even have a clue as to what it would be to be a conservative platform in any way shape of form. So our elected officials basically have written us off as being as important to them as are 12 million illegal aliens. This is why they can scamper to make sure we all get passports as quickly as possible, and until then we use other documentation to be able to enter our own country, and why they can insist we enter our own country by the rules. It is also why, at the same time, they drag their asses on getting the new border fence erected (remember that one folks it was voted into law last year and they have put up less than a mere pittance of fence since then), and why they are trying to hammer in this new Immigration Reform Bill that will do little to actually reform Immigration from what it is today - which is a sorry state of affairs; but which most definitely will promote more illegal entry by aliens into our country.
Keep writing those letters folks, and maybe even make a call or two, an angry call, to your elected officials in Washington, DC to tell them that you vehemently oppose the immigration Reform Bill and any sort of amnesty or reward program for illegal aliens. Legal Immigration is another thing, and let them know that you realize such, but do not allow them to make any mistake conclusions about how you feel about the illegal alien problem; tell them straight out to remove them all from our country, tell them to prevent others from entering, and tell them to go after they who give illegals jobs that should be for U.S. Citizens and legal resident aliens.
Folks, if that doesn't work, then maybe it is getting close to the thing for which our Founding Fathers assured we would be armed. I hope not though because a revolution (non-violent or violent) against our own government could have excellent effects if won, or disastrous effects if lost. I do not advocate the overthrow of our own government, but I wonder, if it gets bad enough what else can we do, should we remain like sheep herded to slaughter regarding our rights, liberties, and sovereignty? I think we should never be under the thumb of tyrants, I think our Founding Fathers made this quite clear; yet I am afraid that is what our politicians are turning themselves into. I hope with all that is within me that it does not come to such, it would tear me apart to raise arms against my own country, as it would do likewise for me to serve tyrants.
... are the words that Senator Majority Leader harry Reid used to describe the illegal aliens who are thought to be within our borders. He said this on or about June 4th, and surprisingly you can still read his words here: http://democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/record.cfm?id=275444&. As you can see, I waited a bit to write about this one; and I waited if only to allow the possibility of my head exploding in anger over this one. Is this the way the leftists like Reid and George Bush (make no mistake about it, George W. Bush is about as far left as any left leaning Republicans I have ever known about) will try to bamboozle the true American people into acceptance of what amounts to amnesty for 12 million illegal aliens. Are we now, suddenly, to open our arms to them not as illegal aliens, nor as illegal immigrants, nor as undocumented aliens, nor as undocumented immigrants, nor as underprivileged foreigners who came here to better themselves, and who were forced by poverty, lack of medical care, tyrannical governments, and the like to flee their own lands and enter the United States of America illegally (as in against our laws, as law breakers), or to enter legally with non-immigrant visa and then to illegally remain beyond the terms of their visas to seek out the American way of life - but rather as undocumented Americans!
I did not go for it when George W. Bush said that any person worth their salt would have entered the U.S, illegally to earn a living to support their families. Why not? Well because acceptance of that sort of twisted reasoning could also be applied to bank robbers, thieves, shoplifters, pickpockets, confidence men, embezzlers, perpetrators of credit card fraud, and so on. What George W. Bush said, in essence, apparently was that it is okay to violate the law to make things better for you family. Harry Reid has taken that a step further, hell he has taken it leagues further along the path of audacity and insanity. These illegal aliens are law violators first and foremost. They have violated a felony statute by coming here illegally. The only reason the federal government rarely enforces the statute as a felony, and instead goes with it as an administrative violation, is because it is or should I say was, much easier to remove aliens under administrative rules with all the criminal protections they would get under criminal law. Still though they have broken the law to be here. They often continue to break the law to stay. They who employ them break the law to help them stay. Now Harry Reid has broken through the realm of reality and reason, to a place that must be one of confusion and not knowing right from wrong (insanity) by calling these illegal aliens, these lawbreakers, UNDOCUMENTED AMERICANS!
I wonder, is there a way to impeach Senators? If there is a way, then why aren't other government officials trying tom do just that; why aren't the people in his state calling for his resignation, why aren't we all writing letters to complain about his apparent lack of respect for the law, his disrespect for all legal resident aliens and U.S. citizens, his evident inability to logically reason on this issue and tell the truth. These 12 million illegal aliens are not undocumented Americans. They are interlopers from abroad, they are foreigners who come here to suck the tit of the American economy, and they are not We The People OF The United States. I will be writing a letter to Reid expressing my disgust for his statements, and for his support of what amounts to amnesty for illegal aliens, and for his support of a truly off the wall immigration reform bill. I will also again write to my Senators, my Representative in the House, and to the Vice president and President. You should too. We need to defeat this insanity, with a resounding blow once and for all.
...should go hand in hand. I wonder, is there anyone out there, who has a blog with a big enough circulation/readership, and who would be willing to call for a March on Washington, DC to oppose amnesty of any sort for illegal aliens? I, as a working American citizen, who is concerned with the fate of our nation, would certainly be one of those at the front of the March even though it would require taking a day or two off from work. In the long run, such a march would only help to save our nation's sovereignty, our jobs and our economy. If you can think of anyone who might use their website to announce such a march and to really promote it on a daily basis, please offer my suggestion to them. Thanks.
...would have resulted had I tired to blog yesterday, and that head would have been mine! There was only one subject about which I could possibly have written about yesterday, and that would have been the agreement between the president and the Senate on the proposed Immigration reform bill. I was pretty sickened with disgust and anger yesterday when heard about the latest proposal to allow the 10 to 12 million illegal aliens, thought to be in our country, to become legalized. It almost made me puke when I thought: "What if the estimates are wrong, and it winds up there are really 20 million of them here?". i just cannot stomach the idea that millions of people who have committed a criminal act to enter or remain in the United States will be getting some sort of privileges from that criminal act. If these people admit they are here illegally, then in essence they are admitting they have committed a felony - and George W. Quisling Bush, and many of our Vichy Senators want to reward them by ultimately making them citizens while those who already waited years on foreign shores hoping to legally immigrate to the USA are pretty much pissed upon overlooked by our government.
I could go on for hours on this one, but I will come to the point now, instead of dragging this out and making you read thousands more of my words. We The People Of The United States Of America have to do something, and have to do it now, in order to protect our sovereignty, our culture, our economy from these foreign Freddy The Freeloaders. These people are illegal aliens, not legal immigrants and there is no reason to reward them for criminality so we need to act to prevent such. Here is what we need to do to prevent this travesty of justice:
Go to Numbers USA, join their site, then send in as many free faxes that they have to send in against this proposal. This is free, as in really free. Of course they accept donations, but currently there is absolutely no charge from the site to register for it and to send faxes.
Contact those in White House. Write to the President (although I think this will do little to no good because Bush seems enamored with the idea of rewarding criminals, do it anyway, give him something to lose sleep over in his last days as president). You can use this link to send emails to the president, or you can write a letter and send it to him at:
The President Of The United States of America 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500
Or you can call the White House to register an oral complaint at: 202-456-1414 (this is the switchboard number, so why not call it and actually ask to speak to the president and vice president - no they will not put you through but make sure to tell them you want to voice your complaint to a live person).
Whatever you do, keep it respectful - no cursing, no yelling, don't hurt the cause.
In addition to the above, here is what you can do, and this will likely stop the proposal if we get in enough complaints. Contact you elected Senators and Representatives in Congress. Use this link to find out who are your Senators, and how to contact them:
If you are uncertain of who is your representative in Congress, use this link to find out who is your Representative in Congress, and how to contact him/her:
Write a letter, send them an email, call them on the phone, get the idea across to them that law abiding citizens of the USA, that is: We The people Of The United States of America do not want to reward illegal aliens with legal status in our country! Please do not call them illegal immigrants, since immigrants come here legally and go through the whole immigration process legally. Call them what they are, and keep it respectful, and maybe, just maybe, we can turn around these politicians who only see this as a wealth of new voters, as a way to keep cheap labor here in the USA, and as a way to make it certain that within 15 years or so, Social Security, medicare, Medicaid and most other social programs in the USA will be bankrupt, and our taxes will therefore skyrocket. Do you part to support our country, and to support one another's and our children's futures.
...whom are estimated to be within the United States of America is that:
Today, May Day, the day of the commie, the day of the disgruntled bigmouth ultra leftist who wants to bring down capitalism and democracy, today, the day that just should be enjoyed as a springtime celebration of fertility and rebirth, thousands marched to scream in favor of legalizing those illegal aliens, in favor of giving them amnesty, and in favor of giving them U.S. citizenship. My prediction is that sooner of later, and probably sooner, these folks will, at least in part, have their way and the dirtbag illegal aliens, these criminals, they whose first act on U.S. soil often was a crime, will be legalized; and they will ultimately obtain citizenship. I am against it wholeheartedly, but I believe it is almost inevitable because those of us against work hard at our jobs and cannot afford to miss work like these bums to protest amnesty for them.
I also predict a bigger problem after they are made legal residents or citizens. These people, these aliens, the ones who folks like Rosie, Ted Kennedy and George Bush say are here to do jobs no U.S. Citizen or legal resident aliens will do, are going to be here legally too. So by the logic of the amnestites (is that a new word for someone who wants to give amnesty) those who have been granted amnesty, legal residency, and ultimately citizenship, will now too be those not willing to do the crappy jobs that citizens and legal residents do not want to do. How in Hades will we get anyone to do them? Of course the answer will be that we just keep the floodgates open, and the brown tide will continue to rush unchecked across our borders, washing away anything that resembled the mighty republic that we once had been. There will be little to no increased spending for fences, walls or border enforcement, there will be no new Immigration and Nationality Act to support legal immigration and deter or stop illegal entry by aliens in to the USA. There will be plenty of talk about it, and after awhile people will be distracted by the MSM who will present stories other than illegal immigration, and in 10 or 20 years time, the USA will be home to a whole new population of illegal aliens, maybe number 20 million or more. If you don't believe that, then just look to the amnesty that Ronald Reagan granted to the illegals (yes even Ron pulled some boners in his time as prez). I think he allowed in about 2 million, now 12 million are here.
People who come here should do so legally, in order to reap any of the benefits that this country has to offer. Anyone who thinks less, even U.S. Citizens who believe otherwise, are helping only to destroy our great nation, bring down our laws, waste our taxes, and do injustice to the rest of the citizenry. The problem is a disgrace; but one that could be easily fixed. We can lock down our border to only legal commerce, legal trade, and legal immigration - and all we need is the will to do so - and politicians with the backbone to carry out our will. We need to vote people into office not only of president and vice president, but into Congress, into state government, and into local government who will respect the borders of our nation, and who realize that a country without borders is no country at all. We need politicians who will fight to keep the USA American (and by that I mean nationality wise not continent wise). My guess is that most Americans are against amnesty of any sort, and we need some way to make ourselves heard, and the one sure way is by our vote. Yet by the time that election day rolls around it maybe too late, so we need to do something else instead of just mumble discontent amongst ourselves on blogs, in chat rooms, or in person. We need to start, and then continue writing to our elected and appointed public officials telling them that we want the illegal aliens removed from our country, that we want a real border barrier along both of our borders, that we want strict enforcement of our immigration and nationality laws that are already on the books, that we want sensible Immigration and nationality reform with reasonable limits placed upon the numbers of legal immigrants entering our land but not too include a free pass into our nation for millions of dregs from other lands, and that we want legal aliens to be required to pass a citizenship test within x number of years of their immigrating here, otherwise they will be deported back to whence they came, and that said citizenship test include that they be tested for a passable fluency in the English language so we do not ever again need to 'press 1 for English'.
Keep up the fight to save the USA, and to save legal immigration and respect for our country and its laws; our only chance to succeed comes at the cost of us taking action. If you want to do your part, start by looking at my government links on the right. I have links there for contacting the White House, and for contacting your senators in Washington. As for your representative in the House of representatives, you need to go to their main site, then enter your zip code plus 4 to find the web site of your rep, then contact them however they provide for on their own site. Keep up the fight, keep the USA full of US Citizens and Legal Resident Aliens (those who waited to enter legally not any who may in the future receive amnesty), let's get rid of the law breakers.
The following quote is a comment that was made by T.J. Bonner, a union head for border patrol agents.
"Let's be honest, there isn't enough jail space to incarcerate everyone who crosses that border," said Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol Council. "If everyone demanded hearing in front of an immigration judge, it would bring our system to a grinding halt in a matter of days."
That the comment was made, in this articleIlliegal Immigrants Require 6 Arrests to Warrant Federal Prosecution in Texas, Memo Says @http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,260501,00.html. (Yes that is the spelling of illegal as it was shown in the headline, maybe the article was written by an ignorant illegal. And yes I make mistakes too, but my posts are not edited by a news media staff making big bucks.)
The comment was made in light of the fact that it takes six arrests of an illegal alien before he is prosecuted by federal prosecutors; and that should tell us something else we need to be honest about. We need a drastic change to how our borders are protected, such as the addition of a very secure border barrier along the length of our southern and northern borders, new rules of engagement for border patrol agents, and we need a drastic and sweeping change to our immigration & nationality laws. The first and the third can only be effected by Congress, the second can be changed by the president. As for Congress, they have to allocate the funding for the border barrier, and they have to rewrite the laws. They need to do both now.The president has to agree with them.
Could you imagine that it would take six arrests before a drunk driver was prosecuted. Could you imagine it taking six arrests for a petty thief to be prosecuted. Could you imagine it would take six arrests before a a trespasser into your home was arrested. Could you imagine how bad it will continue to get if we do not do something now to stop the flow of illegal aliens into our country.
Write to your Congress people NOW! Send letter, emails, and make phone calls to their offices demanding they put a stop to illegals crossing into our country, and that they not allow for amnesty for those already here.
