Speaking truth to borders

Last week I had a conversation with a friend who is deeply committed to the immigration reform movement and who has become a public figure of sorts on the issue in his state. He informed me that because of some information of which he's been made aware recently he will be taking more time to work on opposition to the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). I've been aware of the SPP for several months now and, as time has allowed, I've been trying to become better informed about it.

The thing I find most amazing...and alarming...about the SPP is that there have been virturally no news stories about it in the MSM and detailed inside information from my usual sources has been spotty. But I'm beginning to believe this is changing. Why? Well, this little comment by Congressman Tom Tancredo...

WorldNetDaily: 'Bush doesn't think America should be an actual place'

"Look at what has happened to Miami. It has become a Third World country,' he said. 'You just pick it up and take it and move it someplace. You would never know you're in the United States of America. You would certainly say you're in a Third World country.'

He said quickly changing demographics can cause big problems, and specifically cited the "Islamization of Europe" in recent years which has led to conflict across the continent."

...has started a firestorm in some of the more conservative blogs. The problem facing Conservatives attempting to come to grips with the likely realities enmeshed with the issue of the SPP is that they have no historical peer with which to compare them. The prospects brought to mind in the study of what actually might be driving the SPP are so appalling and so dangerous to our future as United States that it is hard to imagine that even someone as feckless as Bush would take part in them. Bush's intentions with the SPP may well be the most treasonous expressed intent of any sitting president in this nation's history.

The more I learn, the more alarmed I'm becoming about this SPP threat to our sovereignty. If you examine Bush's actions to date on illegal immigration and consider his lack of enforcement of our existing immigration laws, it doesn't appear to be much of a stretch to suspect his actions come from an inner conviction that the issue is moot: He believes that it is his legacy to leave us with no factual nation, only an idealogical one that he thinks can be imported and impressed via template upon all cultures, no matter how intransigent to influence by traditional Western values each culture may be.

This is scary stuff, and those who dare to question the legitimacy of the SPP will likely be branded as lunatics by various elites who would rather we not have a nation. That's my guess here. I've read plenty that gives me pause about the SPP and nothing that convincingly indicates that the organization is benign.
