The Birds: Author Unknown

I do not know the original author of this piece, but I agree wholeheartedly. It came as a forward in my morning email today from a friend who normally doesn't usually care all that much about the invasion. Perhaps yesterday's lunacy has raised the hackles of more fence-sitters. I certainly hope so:

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed.

Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.

Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table...everywhere. Then some of the birds turned mean: They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud: They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food. After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone.

I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be...quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now lets see...our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, free education and allows anyone born here to be a automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families: you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English. Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to press "one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.

Yesterday was another example of how inhospitable to its owners our leaders are making "America's back porch." But it's still nothing that some consistent, dedicated effort cannot overcome - no matter what the sad sack in the White House might say to the contrary.

Happy Socialist, Anarchist, Illegal Alien Day

I'm not going to get a chance to post much on this new day of arrogance. I've let my U.S. Senator from Cuba know I loathe him. I've ranted to a few friends who still don't see the threat that the interlopers pose to their children, and I wrote one comment on a blog.

That's what I'm copying over here. First, I'll repost the original pabulum:

howl

Count my voice among those who are today marching and asking for a path to citizenship for immigrants in this country. Look, I know they broke the law by coming here (I won't even get into how suspect it is for countries to set their own laws on immigration and expect citizens of another country to just follow them), but what right do we have to demand that they not enter our borders? For all America is doing wrong, it is still the most free country in the world and the one most able to provide a good life for its inhabitants. How can we expect people to not come to this country if we can offer them such a better life than the one they have in other countries? How can we, and especially myself and other Christians, tell people to not come to us even though we can help them? Since when is the saying on the Statue of Liberty about "bring me your huddled masses..." a epithet without meaning?

Too often we americans forget that our history is, in certain areas, largely one of breaking laws and theft and questionable citizenship. We stole land from the indians and just arbitrarily said it was ours; it's not like we Americans were the first ones on the scene here. We fought wars to gain our own independence because we believed that America could hold a better life. We welcomed immigrants from Europe from the thousands, laying the groundwork for the America we have today with our rich differing cultures and dialects and traditions. We are not a nation of indigenous peoples. We are a nation built on a history of huddled masses, immigrants, poverty-stricken farmers, religious freedom-seekers, soldiers, land-grabbers, and dreamers.

How can we deny anyone else in this whole world the same thing? Happy May Day, everyone.

There was just so much here that needs to be beaten, physically, from the squalid ideations that infest the minds of so many who feel that they must kowtow to all others from all nations in order to feel good about being American. The guy made my skin crawl with his matter-of-fact lunaticity. So, I replied thusly:

Katie's Dad said...

When Emma Lazarus rises from the dead and proves she was a founding father, not some PR-Stunt poetry contest winner, then I might have a thimble of compassion for an illegal alien. But probably not then, either. For she was nothing more than a foil for a newspaperman's quest for profit. No figure in American history is more over-promoted. It's just sick to base policy that determines who we are, and what sort of fate-in-nation awaits our ancestors, upon that blithering tripe of a poem. Really.

Being romantically distracted by baseless ideals while deadly serious issues like sovereignty and societal cohesiveness are at stake is the epitome of stupidity.

Instead, I'm informed by Thomas Jefferson who wrote:"In proportion to their numbers, they will share with us the legislation. They will infuse into it their spirit, warp and bias its direction, and render it a heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass."

George Washington said, prescriptively: "Citizens, by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles."

John Jay wrote, also prescriptively: "I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people -- a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence.

"This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence, that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren, united to each other by the strongest ties, should never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous, and alien sovereignties."

As a Christian, you'd be better served by thinking about the plight of the people these interloping opportunists leave behind; the poverty they exacerbate back home; the broken families; the elderly with no youth to support them in a a community; the tacit support your compassion gives to despots who are relieved to see the departure of those who are most physically able to threaten their corrupt status quo; and, most importantly, the detrimental impact upon the futures of America's children that such an unprecedented influx surely portends. Do you ever think about that stuff? Or has the romanticism for the "needy other" completely made you blind to
the needs and best interests of your own?

Is it OK if one in five of our residents has no connection to, empathy for or sense of stewardship on behalf of those who fought and bled and died to start this grand experiment? Even if that assures that heritage is erased? And even if the loss of that heritage puts an end to the experiment?

If so, please send your kids to schools built in the shadow of your new Tower of Babel; but, please, make provisions for mine to go to schools in which english is the only language allowed to be spoken. While you're at it, give my little girl a place to grow up in which this nation's sense of Providence is allowed to thrive without being held hostage to the influence of those who would sell it all out on a whim.

I was tempted to beat the author up over his asinine "we stole the land from the indians" crap, but I figured he'd not be able to digest any additional de-programming thoughts in one post.

Something Bush Won't Ask an Iowan

I'm still amazed at the gutters into which this this rat-bastard we've elected President will slither to pander to people who do not belong here in his unceasing effort to transmogrify the nation of my ancestors into a third-world cesspool. And here it is reported that he's found some new pond scum to fertilize:

Bush seeks grads' help on immigration - Yahoo! News

Bush gave the commencement address at Miami Dade College, where more than half the students were raised speaking a language other than English. He gave the Class of 2007 an assignment: Tell their elected representatives in Washington to get going on immigration legislation. "You see every day the values of hard work, and family, and faith that immigrants bring," the president said. "This experience gives you a special responsibility to make your voices heard." Bush said the immigration system is deeply broken: Employers are not held accountable enough; borders are not secure enough; businesses need workers willing to do low-paying jobs; and the 12 million people estimated to be in the U.S. illegally cannot all be deported and so must be dealt with "without amnesty and without animosity."

Obviously, this son of a bitch would never give such a speech to youth at a community college in Iowa! Why is he asking first-generation Americans, those who have a Cubanisimo-warped sense of nation and almost zero exposure to people who are descended from American patriots, to play a pivotal role in immigration reform? Why will he not ask the same of people who have a sense of American stewardship? And, as Jake correctly points out, why will he not lead us an open and honest debate among all citizens to be the means of deciding the solution - with all real options placed on the table?

(Hint: It would take "leadership" and he wouldn't get what he wants)

Here's another nagging question: Why does this prickish waste of the "conservative" mantle get a free pass from the media to mouth garbage like the " they cannot all be deported" fallacy when every other utterance of his gets picked apart like road-kill beset upon by vultures? God forbid the media ever call him on it and let news consumers know about the effectiveness of "attrition through enforcement."

President Bush, what the f**k makes the poorly-Americanized offspring of immigrants more special to you than my child? What you are saying to these graduates is that they have more value to you than children in my family who share my ancestry.

Mr. President, you make me sick.

Core Principles: Duty to our similars and our families

Today, I'm passing on a quote of mine from Jake's comments in response to a post about the Heritage Foundation's latest findings about the costs we all bear thanks to illegal aliensa and their enablers:

It's unconscionable that we have American kids being shortchanged by schools beset by the challenges imposed upon them by increasing numbers of illegal aliens. Perhaps the most lamentable travesties occur every time an American child is denied the opportunity to achieve the best results that his or her abilities might allow because the children of alien criminals forced costs shifts or social discordance in a public school.

How many American children must have their lives permanently altered for the worse before their plight starts to matter to those who misplace their compassion only with interlopers while ignoring the needs and futures of our native sons and daughters?

For me, this gets to the crux of the matter of both illegal and mass immigration. I believe that those who promote the mass movement of cheap labor and demand amnesty for huge masses of foreigners do so for reasons that have nothing to do with the best interests of today's American children or its future generations. Coincidentally, while human nature holds imperative the need for us to place our families, tribes and familiars first, we see similar self-defeating movements taking root in every nation that is a part of Western Civilization.

Why is this bizarre form of self-destruction not happening to any other set of brethren cultures on earth? Is the "white man's burden" so toxic that it demands our own end?

It takes an incredible amount of greed, ignorance and calculated misindoctrination of those susceptible for such a culturally-immolating set of ideas to become established and considered normal in common discourse. As I see it, these efforts to supplant the peoples of Western Civilization with people erroneously assumed to be "more compliant" to the desires of ruling elites are the most conspicuous evils ever perpetrated by groups of people against their similars and families.

I'd rather not think it of my fellow man, but can it really be that people raised in the crucible of liberty have become mere inconvenient obstacles to instant profit gratification now that elites have discovered that willing dupes are available for import?

Demographers Bassackward

This is laughable:

Census: Immigration helps big metros - 04/05/2007 - MiamiHerald.com

"Immigrants are filling the void as domestic migrants are seeking opportunities in other places," said Mark Mather, a demographer at the Population Reference Bureau, a private research organization.

Might it ever occur to demographers that a big reason for the "void" is the characteristic "otherness" of the very influx of immigrants they suggest that cities need? Here, and in most current dialog regarding immigrants and cities in America, demographic cause and effect are presented as ass-backwards as possible by "experts."

For a counter-example, here is my own experience: I truly loved my hometown while growing up and as a young adult in S. Florida as it morphed from a small city into part of a vital coastal megalopolis. But in recent years, thanks to bad immigration policy and lax enforcement of law, the character and culture of the growth factors took a turn for the worse. My family and I came to view the large foreign-born population infusion as not a healthy or neighborly benefit at all; rather, we learned it presented contrary belief system wedges that frequently made us uncomfortable in our own home. When culture, language and heritage are first challenged by others in a subtle manner and eventually overtly denigrated by ungrateful "wretched refuse," something has to give.

And in our case, it was us who gave in and fled. The rapid demographic shift fomented such a cultural arrogance on the part of the newcomers that living there became intolerable. Our reaction to mass immigration is not unique, it is prevalent and growing.

It only takes quick a look through my old MS Outlook contacts and retired Rolodex cards to see the obvious: I held out hope for my former home a lot longer than most of my high school classmates, college friends and former business associates. The exodus of my social and business cohort from South Florida was caused by the "otherness" of alien immigrants and our correct perception of their disrespect for our way of life, and that of our ancestors. Now our replacement population shows every intention of remaining allegiant-in-diaspora to their former homelands through the generations.

I'd like to tell the demographers where they can stick their asinine assumptions.

The article continues:

Advocates for stricter immigration laws question whether a stable, or even a shrinking population, is bad.

"Don't we have concerns about congestion and sprawl and pollution?" asked Steven A. Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for stricter immigration policies.

"Maybe those metro areas should think about what it would take to make Americans want to live there," Camarota said.

If only our leaders understood that this last point is far more important to cities' health than importing cheap labor that spurs the rancor that accompanies diversity and multiculturalism. I suppose the onerous aspects of mass immigration are felt more keenly by those of us who were raised to believe, correctly, that a nation exists to promote and strengthen its culture; that is has a duty to honor ancestral legacy; and that it carries a prescription for a pathway to assure that there remains a birthright legacy for future generations to cherish.

It is traditional Conservative impulses that lead people to flee cities inflicted with the results of the mass-immigrationist mentality, regardless of the evacuees' political persuasion. The unwelcomed replacement of Americans in metropolis should serve as a forewarning that all is not well with the status quo.

Screw political correctness. This invasion must end.

A Troll Gets His Due

I've been following, and participating, in a tit-for-tat with a troll who has taken up residence at FreedomFolks using the nom-de-keyboard "hannitized." He's not really worthy of the level of respect I usually demand to bring up such lunacy; he ran away from this blog's comment section after I made it clear that he would not be allowed to post non-sequitur and/or nonsensical Leftist links to make his feeble points. I'll not be a party to driving traffic, and its related profit, to the DailyKos or Indymedia crowd. The only reason I bring him up now is that this troll's comments serve as the archetype evil for anyone who is trying to make a point about the vital dangers of multiculturalism, the cultural emptiness of diversity, and the inescapable primacy of tribal instinct - hard-coded into human nature - that makes promoting a too-heterogeneous society so horrifically wrong.

A couple of weeks ago, I decided that it was beneath my standards to address this quasi-sentient infestation directly at my friends' blog, so I began to comment on his comments in the third person. I also assumed a mocking tone and made every effort to find a more appropriate moniker for him. Eventually, I settled on "hispandertized" because it best described his position on most things: He's got a monumental inferiority complex that exhibits itself in puffed-up "my people are superior to your people, but your people STOLE OUR LANDS and made us less great than we ought to be" attitude. Every time another "American-by-technicality" is born into a family like that which begat this hispantertized pathogen, there is made another weak link in the chain that binds Americans together.

We are made less when such trolls have sex, except with themselves.

What's most laughable, and sad, about Jake's week-kneed little parasite is that he really doesn't know to what tribe he belongs. Sometimes he's a Spaniard, sometimes he's an indigenous Mexica, sometimes he's a Native American. But never, no never, is he an American - even though ours is the nation to which he was born, and he probably would swear to which he remains allegiant. But his rantings betray him. He hates America. He hates it's origins. He hates anything that might be a byproduct of Western Civilization's success especially if its origin is even tangentially Anglo Saxon.

But he loves all things Mexican.

Mexico's indigenous tribes can do no wrong in his book. America would be best served if that third-world nation's people could freely retake the lands America won, then purchased 150 years ago. To him, the "indigenous peoples" still own it depite the fact that the mythical lands of Atzlan were Mexican territory for barely a quarter-century before America fought and won them in a war. Most of us know that reconquista is not a salient point of view for a true American; however, it is an unwavering belief for most Mexicans.

Hispandertized is walking, talking proof that some tribes just will never assimilate fully to the American way. The longer we allow the alien invasion, particularly from our south, to proceed at such breakneck pace, the harder it will be for this nation to remain unified throughout its next generations. I have to thank this troll for being exemplar of how foolishly wrong the notion that "all peoples are compatible with American ideals" really is.

Seeing that hispandertized lives to browbeat us with the wonders and moral superiority of the indegnous people's of Mexico, I thought I'd close with an brilliant example of those "wonders."

Enjoy:

Mordida, Bribes - Some Things in Mexico Seem To Never Change

In Chiapas, the Chamula Indians obligate their tribesmen to be members of the ruling PRI party. Anyone in the tribe who prefers membership in a different party or even criticizes the PRI is ostracized and driven from their tribal lands. The PRI maintains this loyalty by providing the Chamulas with the Coca Cola franchise for the region. Big time mordida.

When creatures like hispandertized call me a "racist," it's confirmation that I'm correct in my analysis of the alien invasion. How ironic is it that he cannot acknowledge the tribal preference for one's own kind that motivates him! Only someone filled with equal parts hate for his nation and self-loathing would invade someone else's Internet domain, build a soapbox there and do nothing but berate the virtual townsfolk who happen by.

The Open-Border Asshats' Conundrum

First, the standard asshattery:

Dueling LA immigration rallies mark anniversary of massive march

"We all know this is Mexican land," he said. "They didn't cross the border. The border crossed them."

Now, my questions:

Would any of these low-lifes be here without the accomplishments of British protestants based on their innovative ideas about the potentialities of liberated man? Would there be cause for alien presence if first colonists, then the intrepid American settlers, did not spread European values and culture forged over hundreds of generations, what we now call Western civilization, and create this nation and all that it is? Would there be a "Federal Building" for them to despoil with their presence? Would there be any reason for these people to be at that spot on God's good earth?

No.

Or, are they just here for our "stuff" because they have no contemporary history of being able to do it on their own?

Yes.

The border crossed them, my ass.

Attrition Strategy: Phased Redeployment

Jeff Jacoby, ersatz "Conservative" for the Boston Globe, writes another wee bit of tripe today about illegal aliens. He relies on the old canard "we can't deport them all! there are too many!" Which is really getting tiresome to read considering there are 237 THOUSAND references to the attrition strategy on Google.

I don't know if Jeffy took a shrill pill before writing this drivel, but I'd like to set him straight.

What if we deport them all? - The Boston Globe

"Some 1.2 million illegals are believed to work in construction," Holman Jenkins wrote in the Wall Street Journal last June. "If the cost of home building goes up, demand goes down: Less wood is sold, fewer nails, fewer power tools, fewer pickup trucks. Contractors would make less profit; ergo, Harley-Davidson would sell fewer Road Kings with all the chrome and finery."

Lord know's we've tried to explain the idea of getting most illegal aliens to leave by choice via enforcement-compelled attrition: Start enforcing the law and the jobs will disappear; if the jobs disappear, millions will leave as they did in the 1950s when Eisenhower succeeded in ending the problem of illegal immigration then. Perhaps because the word "attrition" is often used as a military term that connotes we're winning, the Leftists just can't get it and the Neo-Conservatives have no stomach for it because it suggests we aren't winning fast enough.

Let me try to put this in the language that both a Leftist (or one posing as a conservative like Jacoby) and a Neo-Conservative will understand. We need to implement a strategy of "phased redeployment" of our valiant illegal immigrant criminals. Over a five-year period, I propose we shift the majority to Mexico, some to other South and Central American Nations, some to Ireland and still other smaller groups to various nations around the globe. Their redeployment destinations will be dependent on their knowledge of the language and customs of the nation to which they go. For the Leftist, this is a benefit because it creates a wedge within the populations of poorer nations who can later be recruited to assist Leftist American youth who arrive to do their Peace Corp stints. For the Neo-Conservative, it creates a core bloc of potential insurgents who can be recruited by the CIA when the next Wilsonian President with "we can democratize the world" delusions is elected.

On the home front, the five-year-plan goes as follows: A blue ribbon panel investigates which types of businesses are employing illegal aliens, which should take all of about 15 minutes using the data already collected both by government agencies and by private foundations. From this list, they create a schedule working backwards from the five-year deadline that allocates Border Patrol and ICE business enforcement resources in an ever-increasing web of pressure on companies that are skirting our laws. The final list will start with the business types with the fewest illegal aliens in their work forces and provides for enforcement resources to be ratcheted up over four and a half years, finally getting to the business types with the most illegal aliens in their work forces in year five.

Why four and a half years of enforcement activity, not five? Simple. The first six months is the publicity phase; we advertise and promote the schedule the panel creates so that the businesses are all given fair warning and roughly know when their "deadline" is for getting illegal aliens off of their under-the-table payrolls. This should make the transition as orderly as possible. These businesses relied on American labor at some time in the recent past, and they will have to get used to a less slave-like work force again. And their prevailing wages will have to go up.

I know it will be tough for construction companies to again see themselves as pathways to the middle class for young and less skilled Americans, but I know that we can do this. It will take some time for our hospitals to get used to not having an overflow of non-paying patients in their emergency rooms, but I have faith they'll get through it. I don't know what they'll do in California when they stop having to build one new school a day and gang members are as easy to spot as a red wine spill on a white carpet, but the Americans there have always been a hearty lot. Maybe they'll have to call Dr. Phil to console all of those state legislators who lost their power bases and probably won't be re-elected. But I never said this would be painless.

Setting things right after letting them be wrong for so long is never painless.

Bush's Mexican Sell-Out Redux

Bush's goal regarding "migration" for this hemisphere, as made crystal clear by his remarks the other day, can only result in the growth of a metastatic fifth-column of those who while being technically "American citizens" will pledge their allegiance to Mexico.

Linknzona (newly added to my blogroll) noted that several bloggers have posted Bush's promise to the Mexican people to do all he can to grant amnesty under the guise of "comprehensive immigration reform." I published an article on March 13 as did TBC here, and Linknzona here.

My comments on Linknzona's March 13 post are repeated, at his request, here, and at his site:

"Over at my blog, I've expressed similar outrage regarding Bush's commitments to Mexican citizens. As soon as I read what he said, it started the wheels turning; there was so much concern on the part of the founding fathers about the risks involved in allowing foreign interests to influence this nation's sovereign responsibilities.

The first five Federalist Papers were warnings against allowing alien interests too much say in our affairs. Jefferson expounded in Notes on Virginia similarly. I knew there was a lot of source material out there that would, when placed in juxtaposition to Bush's words in Mexico, reveal why this president has become a threat to our sovereignty and a possible scourge who will be reviled by future generations of Americans. If he gets his way on Amnesty, his legacy will be to be remembered as the man who forced us to take the first big step toward our nation's dissolution.

After looking through my favorite historical quotes, I decided that George ashington gave us the best example to use for determining what's wrong with this president. He said in his farewell address:

"Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial, else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people to surrender their interests."

Bush sounds more like a man who thinks of himself as president of the Western Hemisphere, not of our sovereign nation. I believe that were Washington, Jay, Madison and Hamilton here today, they'd conclude that this man is behaving as a traitor and fight to have him removed from office.

It's tough to swallow, but his words and actions really have sunk to the depths of treason."

Others are expressing outrage in the Blogosphere, here, here, here, here and here, for a start. There are a lot of folks who are appalled by these comments. I imagine it's really hard to finally wake up and realize the president you supported and voted for doesn't care about you or your nation at all.

Ruining The Jobs That Americans Do

I've got to give credit to Arizona Republic columnist Robert Robb for picking through another spew from the Pew Hispanic Center. What he found was surely not made clear by the study's authors; it had to have been found in the data. That's a lot more work than I'm used to seeing reporters do.

Every other article I can find about the study, and even the Pew press release, sings the praises of our great labor saviors who only do the jobs Americans won't do, or that the Mexican government deems that black Americans are incapable of doing. Here, it becomes clear that Pew found out that both illegal aliens and low skilled legal immigrants are both taking American jobs and lowering wages in construction jobs, which used to be the bridge to the middle class for many Americans.

Not so much any more. Thanks to illegal aliens:

Tilting the labor market

Nowhere has the demand for construction labor increased faster than in Arizona. Yet, most construction jobs in Arizona now pay below the state's median hourly wage, which was not the case in 1990. A stagnant or declining price of something is not an indication of a shortage of it. Contrary to the contention of immigration liberals, in almost all cases illegal immigrants do compete with native-born workers. A previous Pew study attempted to ascertain the percentage of the workforce illegal immigrants represented in various job categories. The highest was insulation workers, at 36 percent. That means in virtually all job categories in which illegal immigrants are prominent, at least two-thirds of the workers are legal.

But this is where my kudos end. Robb goes on to end his piece with the standard drivel about how we cannot deport millions of illegals and even comes up with a new heartstring that he tugs generously.

Yep. There are lots of anchor babies and it would be wrong to deport the parents and leave the kids, even though we send the parents of American kids to prison every day for the crimes they commit and leave them with relatives or in foster care. It would be wrong to weigh down overburdened state foster care systems with these anchors. The direct answer to this is that the kids would have to go "home" with the parents until they reach the age of consent; then they can return, if they choose to do so.

That's the way things work.

It's Official: Bush Is A Mexican Mole

Today, our President revealed quite clearly what he is actually up to; he is serving as an agent for a foreign power.

I just don't see any other way to view crap like this:

Calderon tells Bush Mexico needs more - Yahoo! News

My pledge to you and your government, but more important to the people of Mexico, is I'll work as hard as I possibly can to pass comprehensive immigration reform," Bush said during a sun-splashed arrival ceremony that opened two days of meetings with Mexican President Felipe Calderon in this Yucatan Peninsula tourist haven.

This immediately brings to mind something George Washington said in his farewell address:

Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial, else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people to surrender their interests.

I think what is happening in this nation in regard to its leaders' odious relations with foreign states, Mexico in particular, is an imminent threat to us all. Washington was right. The "real patriots" surely those who speak out, and act out, against the outright corruptions in which Bush & Co. engage with nations to our south. Minutemen and those who support them are surely being cast as "suspected and odious." And Bush is counting on their being an ample supply of "tools and dupes."

I hope and pray that the son of a bitch does not find them.


UPDATE: TBC has more good stuff on this here. I find it fascinating that if we account for the time zone differential , we posted within a minute of each other. And we both called Bush a traitor. Great minds think alike!

The Stats Tell the Tale About Gangs

I'm not surprised that the LA Times pussyfoots around the issues and again fails to find a quote from someone, anyone, who will speak the truth: LA's gang problem is a direct result of its status as a sanctuary city.

Gang crackdown raises touchy issue - Los Angeles Times

The immigration agency began last month, for the first time, to identify deportable gang members.

For the month of February, 290 inmates at Los Angeles County jails were determined to be in this country illegally, and 24 of those, about 8%, were determined to be associated with street gangs.

A similar survey was done for the 816 inmates red-flagged in jails in the seven Southern California counties served by Hayes' office. That survey, which includes Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, identified 59 gang members, or 7% of those facing deportation.

On any given day, Los Angeles County jails have about 19,500 inmates, including about 4,500 gang members, said Steve Whitmore, a Sheriff's Department spokesman. He said up to 25% of the inmates in the jail are believed to be foreign nationals.

Actually, I'd be more than happy to write LA off. I'd say let's wall it off in certain places and let Crips and the Craps kill each other off, but the bastards are exporting their criminal enterprises across the country. We've imported a culture that spawns dangerous subcultures that is being excused by local officials. The sooner we take this gang war out of the hands of LaRaza Mayor Villaraigosa, and let Americans of less politically correct persuasions put their boots down, the better.

Gates Sells Whine At Microsoft

It's a sad statement that one of this nation's greatest innovators has joined in our Plutocratic Overlords' quest for cheap labor.

FT.com / World / US & Canada - Gates warns on US immigration curbs
Mr Gates said he felt “deep anxiety” about the US’s ability to remain competitive if it did not act quickly to improve education, invest in basic science research, and reform its immigration ­policies.

The key fallacy here is that if Gates and his greedy globalist cohort get more labor via visa workers there will be no incentive for our bastions of higher learning to improve the educational lot of the average American. More visa slots means more chances to sell higher-priced tuitions to aliens - and that is where they will focus their efforts. Any "improvement" and new investment in research will disproportionately be skewed to benefit the very aliens who would come here on student visas knowing that there was a work visa waiting at the end of their educational journey. It's a closed loop that shuts American kids out. If there had never been a student visa program to begin with, we'd be growing our own engineers and scientist much more capably than we are today.

If the Visa programs were eliminated completely tomorrow, we'd not only start educating more American kids and force colleges to presssure state school systems to improve their results, we'd also stop making people who want to kill us more capable of doing so. When I was in school, there were tons of Iranians on my campus. My bet is that at least some of them are now involved in building nuclearn weapons for Iran. And how come nobody ever points out that Al Quaeda sorts are highly educated, many of whom have had their educations underwritten by the boneheaded leadership of Western nations that now can't seem to figure the proper way to define our war against radical Islam. Who cares if we look less magnanimous to the rest of the world? Does it really make them hate us less if we look helpful?

Uh. No.

It's not as if figuring this stuff out takes a rocket-science-level intellect; in fact, I'm sure that most Congresscritters know exactly the way this crap works. They just won't say it for fear that your knowing would hurt them.

Welcome to Another Cavalcade of Conservatism

Now, for another honor roll of Internet tidbits, blogging brilliance and other general Conservative crispness **:

LinknZona: From High Positions

At what point does [Bush's] stubbornness in disdain for his country and its supporters and in love for and support of a foreign power, Mexico, cause many American patriots to lose faith in their president? I don’t know, and I doubt if anyone does. But sometime between 9/11 and 2006 it happened. Many came to wonder how effective it was in protecting America to fight a war on terror in one part of the world and encourage everyone, including those same terrorists, to cross our borders at will.

Let's hope that enough people stop drinking the Kool Aid to stop this man of mundane intellect on a fools errand from ruining the nation we leave to our children.

Becoming American

The question of American national identity and the strength of our attachments to the American national community is, given our diversity, perhaps the most important domestic national question facing this country. Some dismiss these concerns as being based on “outdated theories.” Others urge Americans to accept other possible platforms for solidarity like “new diasporas, transnational civil society, and other identity groups” and the “thinning out of national ties” and argue that “it is time to accept an America . . . whose bonds are secondary to other forms of association.”

For the sake of the viability of this republic and its people and institutions, let us hope not.

There's a key point here: There are a lot of Americans - even a lot of Conservatives - who must be disabused of contemporary and too widely accepted leftists beliefs that diminish the importance of Citizens having primary and sole allegiance to this nation if they are to be truly American, and for America to continue to exist.

Free Trade and Funny Math by Patrick J. Buchanan - HUMAN EVENTS

Economic nationalism is the policy of rising powers, free trade the policy of declining powers. For great powers have ever regarded trade as an arena of struggle in the clash of nations. It is no accident all four presidents who made it to Mount Rushmore were protectionists.

That's powerful. Right now, being protectionist is not in favor. Why? Because those who control the information flow are pure, free-trade globalists who think the concept of a "soveriegn nation" is quaint.


Townhall.com::Prosecutor's discretion::By Debra J. Saunders

Last month, when Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean began serving 11-year and 12-year prison sentences, respectively, for shooting at a fleeing drug smuggler, many Americans were outraged that the federal government would prosecute two agents for doing their jobs. Their trial uncovered policies that seem designed to undermine success -- such as the rule that prohibits agents from pursuing a speeding suspected smuggler without a supervisor's authorization.

Drug smugglers know that if they speed to the border, they'll likely get away. Former U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Ham points toward the location at Fabens, Texas, on Monday, Feb. 5, 2007, where former Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean shot drug smuggler Osvaldo Davila last year. The agents began serving prison sentences in January after their convictions in the incident.

But the real outrage in this story is how federal prosecutors used their discretion to shelter a drug smuggler and go after two men who, at the worst, should have been fired for shooting at the smuggler and then not reporting what they had done. The outrage is that this case ever came to trial.

Once this is cleared up, can we shoot the freaking prosecutor in the ass with salt-buckshot in the public square? When I was a kid, there was a kooky old lady in the neighborhood who would shoot kids in the ass with the stuff if they rode bikes on her property. While I was never hit, I recall seeing the results. Painful.

From My Position... On the way!: What Carren thinks of Senator McCain

Senator is not a word I would use for McCain. JERK (or asshat, as Chuck usually says) is more like it. When Chuck was in the hospital, Jerk came to "visit" us.

A quick story before I tell you what happened: A few weeks before Chuck was wounded I watched a TV movie that protrayed Jerk's time as a POW during Vietnam. I was intrigued by the story and developed a lot of respect for what he endured, and the fact that his wife waited all those years for him to return home. I knew bits and pieces of the story before watching the movie, and I knew his arms were badly damaged due to the torture he received. I had a lot of respect for the man... then I met him.

When he first walked in I was honored to meet him. He shook my hand and Alice's hand, then walked over to Chuck's bedside. After a lousy 5 minutes or so, the Jerk said (and I quote):

"Well, we all know what we're here for... let's do the photo op."

EXCUSE ME!!!??? The PHOTO OP???!!!!

What an effing loon...and he want's to be your president!


American Chronicle: Amnesty The Day Bush Killed America, If 30 million Ilegals are Good, Why Not 300 million?

President Bush, you defined your legacy well. Your name will live in perpetual infamy as the man that killed America. You have already replaced Benedict Arnold as the example of traitorous behavior but you have not gone as low as you can go. The ignoble day legislation granting amnesty or guest worker status to millions of illegals is passed, will go down in history with recognition equal to the day John Kennedy died, the Alamo, Pearl Harbor, 9-11, and Neville Chamberlain’s “peace in our time” declaration. All will remember where they were when Bush killed America. Mark that day well; you will need to explain to your children why you did nothing to stop it.

Bush is actually worse than all of those formerly breathing traitors put together. But let's not quibble about degree when we're so far immersed in Hell.


American Chronicle: Approve Amnesty? Then Drop the White House American flag, Spit, Piss on it, and burn it.

If Bush, Specter, McCain, Kennedy, Reid and the other Bushite corrupt leaders in congress pass a bill that conforms to Mexico’s demands, they should sign it in front of the Capitol Building with a big background “Mission Accomplished’ banner. At the same time they can lower the American flag to the ground, spit and piss on it, burn it and replace it with a white flag of surrender along with a Mexican, North American Union and World Trade Organization flags. Let them all be there for the photo-op so we will know who is lying when they blame our country’s ruin on others.

I want to start a rock group in which all the performers wear masks of politicians who want amnesty. The name of the group? How's "Deep Fried Surrender Monkeys" sound?


Democrats Worried About Offending Illegal Aliens!

The Sun Sets in the West by Patrick J. Buchanan - HUMAN EVENTS

In the early years of World Wars I and II, Europeans implored us to come save them from the Germans. We did. In the early Cold War, Europeans welcomed returning GIs who stood guard in the Fulda Gap. Now, with the threat gone, the gratitude is gone. Now, with their welfare states eating up their wealth, their peoples aging, their cities filling up with militant migrants, they want America to continue defending them, as they sit in moral judgment on how we go about it. This isn't an alliance. This isn't a partnership. Time to split the blanket. If they won't defend themselves, let them, as weaker nations have done to stronger states down through the ages, pay tribute

Pay up, Euroweenies!


Globalism: Enemy of the Middle Class -- February 2007 Phyllis Schlafly Report

Globalism is the enemy of the middle class. Globalism preaches that the world is flat; that nations should have no borders; that labor, capital, goods and services should flow freely between countries. Globalism's mantras are "free trade" and "abolish protectionism." Globalism forces American workers to compete against people who work in other countries for 30 cents an hour without benefits. Competing with such low wages means the end of the American middle class. Americans relish competition, as our national fixation on sports contests proves every day. But global trade is not played on a level playing field — our opponents don't play by the rules and the umpire (the World Trade Organization) is biased against us.

That's the big thing that most middle class supporters of globalization don't get: If it really happens all the way, then there won't be a middle class anywhere on earth. Those who are currently are American middle class workers by default will fall to the bottom. Nobody at the top will look out for their interests.


Auto Graveyard by Patrick J. Buchanan - HUMAN EVENTS

The world is witnessing the passing of the United States as the greatest industrial power and the most self-sufficient republic the world had ever seen. Yet, no one acts. Why? Ideology is one reason. Free-trade fanatics are like those devout Christians who will not undergo surgery, even if their malady is killing them. Second, there are the obtuse who simply cannot see that our "trade partners" have found a way around the rules and are skinning us alive. Third, to gain and hold high office, candidates of both parties depend on the contributions of a monied elite, whose salaries, bonuses, stock options and golden parachutes depend on a rising share price, which means constantly cutting costs by moving production out of United States and getting rid of high-wage American workers. There are rewards for economic treason.

I hate it that we are being so badly hosed while most of my neighbors and friends remain ignorant to what is really going on.


Gates of Vienna: Running Scared in Red House

“Yeah, he used to be all gung-ho and say things like ‘we’re not going to put up with this crap’ — he was all ready to take ’em on. But not long ago he ran into one of those Muslims down at the convenience store [at the corner of Rolling Hill Road and SR 727] and got into an argument. And would you believe, that sucker went to his van and pulled an assault rifle on him. Ever since then he’s been keeping a low profile — he doesn’t want anything else to happen to him, so he’s laying low.” This is a textbook example of mau-mauing in action. But it’s the most hardcore example of mau-mauing I’ve ever personally heard of. The Great Jihad operates by stealth. The knife at the throat is not its primary weapon of aggression; it prefers to erode our defenses incrementally, using social pressure, legal action, media manipulation, subversion, and good old-fashioned intimidation.

There's some scary crap going on in rural Virginia. I kid you not.

After the students insisted on praying in the cafeteria because of inclement weather, Otoupal suspended them for ten days.

So, a Satanist can walk into a principal's office and be taken seriously? We're in bigger trouble than I thought...

Immigration ignored by dogmatic left and corporatist right (again)

Don't get me wrong, I like Real Clear Politics. But sometimes I think they shill too much for the corporatist right that profits from the recruited invasion of illegal aliens. In a recent interview with Mitt Romney, RCP co-founder Tom Bevan entirely misses a point, and an opportunity to properly engage on a very telling point that Romney makes almost at the very start of their conversation. Why the following produced no follow-up question is beyond reason:

RealClearPolitics - Articles - Interview With Mitt Romney
RCP: What's the question you get asked most?
ROMNEY: From Republican crowds most often the question relates to immigration, then education and healthcare.

I'd like to know why this response did not intrigue Mr. Bevans enough to at least ask what sort of questions are being asked by the rank-and-file? I think I know the answer: He didn't ask because if he had, he'd have had to report that the vast majority of Republicans are telling Mr. Romney they are pissed off about their nation being invaded. This would be a repudiation of the Bush Dissolve The Nation Doctrine, and it might expose as frauds the other supposed "front-runners" for the GOP nomination.

A couple of months ago, I started tracking the New York Times' "most searched" content". Should I find it surprising that despite the topic "immigration" having never fallen below third place in the search rankings, it fails to show up as a blip on the radar in either the "most emailed" or "most blogged about" categories (also published at the link). What I think this should tell us is that people are searching for answers to our immigration quagmire, but the stories that the New York Times serves up are not deemed worthy of being emailed or being blogged about by those who look to the NYT for information. Could it be possible that even predominately liberal NYT readers are not in agreement with the amnesty-centric positions being promoted by the left's best friend?

I think so.

And I don't see a bit of difference between the disingenuous manner in which Bevan handled the Romney interview in regard to immigration and the anti-American manner in which the New York times handles the same subject matter.

Revisting the Evils of the Anti-Racists

For the past few days I've been parrying with a decidedly inferiority-complex-bound intellect (I use the term loosely) in the comments section over at FreedomFolks who is openly determined to promote unfettered mass immigration as a penance for the evils of his ancestors. I've rarely come across someone so consumed by self-loathing in the 13 years I've been posting stuff on the Internet; today, the insistent little gnat came out of the closet and revealed his guilt for having Spanish, Italian and "Native American" blood. It appears he believes he must make amends with the "Indian" part of himself for the things that his Spaniard ancestors did. It all would be comical and laughable if his premise were not so pathetic, and his desire to take the nation down with him so virulent. I guess his being miserable about the combination of genes with which he was born isn't enough, he has to make us share his despair.

No thanks.

As is the case with all discussions in which a leftist is the antagonist, the time is fast approaching in which we can all invoke Godwin's Law and be done with him. He's already devolved into calling racist anyone who disagrees with his assessment that this nation is evil and must make amends for every wrong he perceives it has ever done by allowing ourselves to be over-run by the denizens of the third world. Right now, he's stuck on ad-hominems about our being bigoted for even thinking that this nation has a culture we should be concerned about keeping. Such is the plight of the anti-racist: He cannot see that he has become the reverse-actualization of the very figment-evil he decries.

All of this got me to thinking about a long ago post in which I agreed with Jim Kalb's assessment of the anti-racists. Nearly two years after the fact, this page is one of the most read of all I've ever posted here. And I think it's time that I bring Kalb's work to the forefront again. After all, the time I wasted responding to guilt-ridden trolls has to be good for something, right?

Anti-racism -- Jim Kalb

Indeed, anti-racism requires anti-majority racism. An anti-racist ruling class must treat the majority as presumptively wrong. "Ingrained social stereotypes" -- the culture and habits of the majority -- must be discredited because their dominance puts minorities at a disadvantage. Since habits and culture are what make a people what it is, the things that make the majority a people must be attacked; the majority must be defined as racist, and therefore evil and unfit to rule or even exist. "Racist" has the same function today that "nigger" once did: it makes a man less than human and so unfit for self-government.

Attempts to abolish deeply rooted human tendencies are necessarily tyrannical; "rule by the people" is absurd when a government that loses confidence in the people can dissolve it and form a new one. Such attempts inevitably fail, and succeed only in destroying traditional restraints. Attempts in Russia to abolish the profit motive ended, after unparalleled brutality and massacre, in lawless greed and mafia rule. It is not clear why attempts to abolish ethnicity should be more successful.

Rather than attempt a utopian transformation of human nature, it seems better to accept the distinctions men find important, and let them deal with them in customary ways that make sense to those involved; abuses and extreme cases can be dealt with as such. Things classified as racism -- ethnic loyalty and dominance -- are necessary features of social life. Something as closely related as ethnicity is to men's habits, attitudes and loyalties is plainly relevant to participation in a common effort like carrying on a business. The fact that men universally take ethnicity into account in choosing associates is the best possible evidence that it makes sense for them to do so.

For the last two years, I've lived in a rather mixed-ethnicity and mixed-race neighborhood. The student-of-human-nature part of me has been fascinated by the self-segregation that goes on here. Despite this being a very liberal and leftist college town, and despite my neighbors being predominately leftist in political persuasion, the strongest bonds I see growing in this most "utopian" for the multiculturalist setting, are between people who are of the same ethnicity and the same race. While we all exchange superficial pleasantries, the only times I have witnessed or participated in deep conversations about substantive issues, the participants have obvious ancient-tribal similarities. Heck, we even self-segregate our seating arrangements at our homeowners' association meetings. I notice this stuff and wonder who else sees the same things.

Ramos & Compean: The Smoking Gun Appears

Until now, I've been mostly mute on the disgusting prosecution and conviction by a Federal Prosecutor of two fine Border Patrol Agents, Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. Something has always stunk to high heavens about this: I could think of no legitimate reason for the kangaroo court proceedings that made sense. I didn't want to think that the Feds would really go this far to do something that appears on its face to be so immoral, so unethical and so contrary to the sovereign interests of all citizens. To me, either there was legitimacy in the case, or there were some major pieces of the puzzle that had not yet come to light.

As of yesterday, I'd only been keeping up with the case by getting regular Google Alerts on the matter and waiting for something to break one way or the other. Today, I learned the most convincing piece of information, likely ever to come to light, that exposes a whole new disgusting underbelly of our immigration nightmare:

Our government is colluding with the Government of Mexico to lay waste to the rights of US Citizens.

WorldNetDaily: Mexico demanded U.S. posecute sheriff, agents

The Mexican Consulate played a previously undisclosed role in the events leading to U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton's high-profile prosecution of Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, who are serving 11 and 12 year sentences for their role in the shooting of a drug smuggler, according to documents obtained by WND.

I've known for many years that Mexican Consular Officials Cockroaches have worked tirelessly lobbying for Mexican interests at the Federal, State and Local levels. I've considered their efforts to be unprosecuted subversion of our sovereignty. But this crap is so disgusting, so contrary to America's interests and so in-line with my suspicions about the Bush Administration's too-cozy relationship with Mexico's kleptocratic elites that it simply makes sense that American law enforcement officers would be thrown under the bus if Mexico merely asked. If Mexico has that much sway with the Feds about law enforcement, what leeway might our government give those bastards to go after regular citizens? What might the Bushites allow those scumbags to do to shut up Bloggers like me who constantly bring these travesties to the attention of our readers? You can damned well bet that I'll not be getting even close to the Mexican border so long as the goons currently in residence in the White House are led by the nose by Mexican interests.

I'm reminded of this:

Hell no

Here is how an American responds to idiocy:

Mexican Reporter: "Don't you believe you're a Mexican? Don't you believe you have any loyalty to Mexico?"

Lupe Moreno: "Hell no. I have only one loyalty. That is to my country, to my flag."

See for yourself:



Remember, the Mexican government is determined that no person in the United States who is of Mexican descent ever believes in the sovereignty of our nation the way Lupe does. There are scores of Mexican consular officials scurrying about our nation like rats, and they're trying mightily to keep others from becoming real Americans. Lupe scares them.

It's time for a reality check!

This morning I stumbled upon a decidedly pro-illegal alien video produced by a student filmmaker. I wasn't aware that ICE had actually started doing its job; however, it is likely that this is only being done on a symbolic scale. It appears that after the marches last spring there was a move on the part of the Feds to actually look like they were ending the practice of "catch and release." From experience I know that this is all for show; a show to weaken the resolve of those who oppose mass immigration or illegal immigration but are not quite as informed on the matter as some of us. It is indeed unfortunate that our government assumes most Americans can be conned by insignificant action. It is incredibly sad that their assumptions may be true.

Keep that in mind as you watch this:




Yep. There are families in these detention facilities. The alternative, I think, would be to split them up, putting adults in facilities like this one and youth in standard juvenile detention facilities. This is more compassionate. ICE contends:

Before ICE opened the Hutto facility, alien families caught illegally crossing the border were often released with “Notices to Appear” before federal immigration judges. However, they rarely appeared for these hearings. This “catch and release” policy created a border vulnerability that alien smugglers sought to exploit by bringing children across the border along with groups of smuggled strangers, attempting to pass the groups off as family units. By bringing the children, the smugglers hoped to avoid detention if captured.

Key Advantages of the T. Don Hutto Family Residential Facility

• The facility provides an avenue for residents to maintain family unity while ICE enforces immigration laws.
• Family members are housed together in a “residential, non-secure” setting where they can interact with one another and other families.
• Designated areas within the facility serve as classrooms for children and adults. In accordance with state education requirements, all resident children receive classroom instruction taught by state-certified teachers, including (ESL) classes.
• As a family shelter facility, interior doors remain unlocked; the staff is specially trained to interact with residents to identify potential emerging problems.
  The facility operates in accordance with applicable ICE detention standards to ensure that families are safe and that specially trained personnel address their needs. All facility staff members receive more than 24 hours of specialized training in dealing with children.
• The facility is staffed with a robust complement of ICE officers to ensure thorough monitoring of operations.
• The three daily meals are approved by certified dieticians.

Other T. Don Hutto Family Residential Facility Highlights

• The U.S. Public Health Service operates the medical area, which includes a mental health staff.
• The facility’s chaplain works with community volunteers to offer the residents the opportunity to worship and to strengthen family ties.
• A facility Community Relations Board is comprised of about 25 local citizens, including the bank president, mayor, chamber of commerce president, county and district officials, and representatives of the local media.
• Adult classes are available in parenting, ESL, vocational classes, family counseling, art and crafts.
• Residents are provided with t-shirts, sweat shirts and/or medical-style scrubs. (“Jail uniforms” are not worn).
• Doors to individual family living areas provide ample privacy. However, as appropriate for the unique mission of this facility, internal doors are not locked, facilitating maximum freedom of movement.
• The general library contains more than 2,000 books, and the law library is available five days a week to residents.
• The fully air-conditioned 75,000-square-foot facility accommodates 512 beds.
  Natural light is available throughout the living areas and hallways.The facility includes three large shaded pavilions outdoors and spacious outdoor play areas. In addition, a full-size gymnasium is available with recreational activities including basketball, volleyball, handball, baseball, soccer, and ping-pong.

I contend that we treat illegal alien families better than we treat American families when both parents are arrested for committing crimes. The children of American criminals, when there are no other family members to take them in, are placed in overburdened and often downright scary state foster care systems.

It is important to note the most important truth in this: The people detained in the Hutto Facility have broken our laws. They have used their children as pawns, perhaps in the expectation that doing so will insulate them from the consequences of their actions. I think the truth gets lost when we allow it to be framed by folks who think like the producer of this video with no contrasting POV.

I say, keep this up. Expand the program across the United States. Keep the families together while they are being processed through the system. Then pack them up and ship them back to where they came from. It's probably more "compassion" than they deserve, and certainly more "compassion" than we show for American citizens who have similarly broken our laws. If there isn't more of this done, and soon, then the whole thing is proved to be just window dressing for suffering another disastrous amnesty upon us.

Blame Mexico? You betcha!

Silvio Canto hits the nail on the head with a jackhammer in this post:

Comprehensive immigration reform must include Mexico
As we have said before, the answer lives in Mexico. The US can change its laws but it cannot fix Mexico.

At the end of the day, change will happen in Mexico when Pres. Calderon (and the Mexican Congress) can not count on $20 billion in "remesas".

Change will come when thousands of young men march in Mexico City rather than work in the US.

My solution is harsh but it is the best medicine for Mexico.

Close the border and force Mexicans to solve their problems.

In the "which came first" scenario regarding our current invasion of illegal aliens, I have to pick Mexico itself: It's government, its institutions, its endemic corruption and socio-cultural acceptance of La Mordida combined to trigger the crisis. Secondly, I point at any and every US-Based corporation that has forgotten the debt it owes to the nation and, therefore, feels unfettered from chasing profit with no concern for what it might do to the nation and its citizens. Thirdly, I blame our government for selling us out to corporations like those described above.

Lastly, and this is where I differ from many who have a hard time with the (fallacious) idea that we would have to "deport them all," I do blame every illegal alien for coming here, I blame them for staying here, I blame them for working here, and I blame them for sending money "home." If they did not know what they were doing was wrong, I might (a big might) feel a bit differently. But the illegals know what they are doing is wrong or they would not fear being caught. I'll go so far to say that even those who haven't "officially" tapped into our pocketbooks by getting some form of social assistance are aware that they cost Americans a lot by their illegal misdeeds. Is living in constant fear that your illegal acts might cause you to suffer consequences any way to live? The illegal alien, in his fear, is no different than any other criminal and is nearly identical to those who conspire to participate in a criminal enterprise; the word gets around and those who have less of a problem with lawbreaking are the ones who come here.

I have yet to hear any rational explanation why those whose first act, and continuous act, is the intentional disregard for our rule of law should be allowed any pathway to citizenship. In fact, the best way to teach their anchor babies about American ideals is to deport them along with their lawbreaking parents; the citizen anchors can come back if they choose after reaching adulthood. Or is their situation somehow different than a legitimately-born American child whose parents are being punished for breaking our laws? If both American parents of an American child go to prison for breaking the law, the child surely suffers his parents' consequences, and learns lessons in the process. Sending the anchor child back to the parents' home countries is actually more compassionate than the consequences brought upon children whose American parents are lawbreakers.

Why we would deny the same lesson to a child whose parents are illegal aliens is beyond me. Having a couple hundred-thousand American citizens sent home with their illegal alien parents might just teach Mexico a thing or two about how Western civilization works.

The State of Our Unraveling Union

Tonight, Jefedente Bush will deliver his seventh annual State of His Progress Toward Unraveling the Union Address. Unfortunately for America, he has sunk to such a pathetically low stature in the minds of even his loyal Conservative base that he can offer no plan on any substantial issue with a chance of getting traction in Congress; that is, except for his onerous immigration plan. It sickens me that the man truly believes that he will be doing right by future generations if he takes radical action to revise the ancestral foundations of our culture. And he's staking his legacy upon a plan the Democrats lust over because they know it will lead to perpetual domination by the left of our Federal Government as today's illegal alien criminals become tomorrow's most-government-dependent classes.

I have to hand it to stubborn son of a bitch. He has Faith....all of it misplaced. If you care about this nation's future and desire it to be a better place for your kids and descendants, then the things in which Bush has Faith should scare you:

• He has Faith that adding 100 million people - becoming more than 20% of our population in my daughter's lifetime - from, mostly, a single-source alien culture will not radically alter or diminish ours.
• He has Faith that Meztizos are as culturally compatible with us as a the Europeans who made up the vast majority of all American immigrants prior to 1970 and that they won't pose the long-term problems that our Hmong, Bantu and other exotic ethnic imports pose.
• He has Faith that this nation will somehow become one with aliens we have not known through the ages despite our never having proved capable of assimilating large groups of newcomers who were not from folkways with which the majority of us and our ancestors could readily identify.
• He has Faith in bureaucracy to manage a plan substantially larger and infinitely more more complex than the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli reform, which up until now has been the most miserable bureaucratic failure since the programs of the Great Society.
• He has Faith that the numbers of illegal aliens currently here are lower than feared by many reasonable people and that it won't be soon learned the number granted initial amnesty is to be double the officially projected numbers, as it became known after the passage of Simpson-Mazzoli.
• He has Faith that his "No Foreign-Born Alien Left Behind" plan will not act as a magnet for additional waves of illegal aliens that will be larger and more desperate than this one.
• He has Faith that when these amnestied criminals leverage "family reunification" laws to bring four or five times more people from the third world it will not bankrupt us or impact our middle class in any negative way.
• He has Faith that creating a permanant cleft between citizens based on primary language preference will somehow enrich us, when history tells us that people that speak different languages cannot share a single culture...or a nation.
• He has Faith that America's current ethnic majority will not react to the the threat of being displaced in the franchise by joining together into groups to promote their own ethnic agendas, nor will any of these groups promote radical agendas to restore what Bush so ignorantly threw away.
• He has Faith that the anger sure to come, once it dawns on those who believed the spin, can be contained by political correctness and more blather about multiculturalism.

I've hardly scratched the surface with this. But I hope you, dear reader, get my point. I wish it were as simple as saying "we don't know what will happen if Bush gets his way on immigration." That wouldn't be half as bad as the truth. The truth is, we do know a lot about what will happen, and none of it is good for anyone on the right who isn't a corporatist desirous of instant financial gratification at the expense of the future. Nor is is good for anyone on the left who isn't politically motivated to create a permanent underclass of compliant, government-dependent serfs. Or is there something I don't understand about what happens when the nation with the largest per-capita carbon footprint grows by 25% in a single generation.

Have you noticed that Bush never talks about history, except when he is attempting to argue the validity of a logical fallacy? He only mentions the word assimilation in passing, but he is quick to mention the family values of our never-successful-at-republican-democracy neighbors to the south. If the family values of Mexico or Venezuela or Colombia are so compatible with ours, then why aren't they already living in nations and cultures with rich histories of stable liberty, like ours? If the family values of those with whom Bush wants to share our ancestral franchise, forever, are so admirable, then why aren't their nations doing so well that almost nobody wants to leave?

I've come to the conclusion that Bush either does not believe that there is a unique American culture, or does not believe that there should be a unique American culture. Either way, he must dislike something very fundamental about the ethnic majority or he would not be doing this to us.

With that, I'll leave you with one of the very first pieces I wrote for this web site, long before it had a blog:

Yes, there is a "unique American Culture"

Patriotic Americanism must continue to prevail over the desires of those who wish to deny that there is such a thing as "a unique American culture." Our ancestors anticipated attempts to lead our nation down a path to balkanization and expected us to stand fast against them. We must consistently refute lies that contend America was founded by and populated by people possessing broadly diverse perspectives and ideals. The ideas behind concepts like multiculturalism and diversity were anathema in the America of 1776 and for nearly 200 years thereafter.In their faith, habits and principles, the first American citizens were a most narrowly diverse lot, separated only by slight variations in Christian denomination. In their ethics, morals and values, the first Americans could only be described as virtually homogenous. It was the similarity not the diversity of our forefathers and founders that set the stage for America to become a great nation.

Those who advocate diversity and multiculturalism as being historically important to this nation's greatness are dangerously wrong. Using their twisted logic, we are to believe that the ideals driving Islamic terrorists to fly planes into buildings are societally compatible with the motivations that drive Presbyterian women to have fundraising bake sales. Diversity theory places Christian Baptism on par with Animist ritual mutilation of baby girls' genitalia. Diversity theory blindly accepts into our midst hordes of incompatible, poorly educated, virtually aliterate (if not outright alingual) illegal alien border-jumpers from third-world Kleptocracies because it is supposedly in keeping with "the things for which this nation stands." There is no doubt that our founders would be nauseated by such absurd notions.

Thomas Jefferson expressed concern about this issue in "Notes
on Virginia" (brackets added for clarity):

"…But are there no inconveniences to be thrown into the scale against the advantage expected from a multiplication of numbers by the importation of foreigners? It is for the happiness of those united in society to harmonize as much as possible in matters which they must of necessity transact together. Civil government being the sole object of forming societies, its administration must be conducted by common consent.Every species of government has its specific principles. Ours perhaps are more peculiar than those of any other in the universe. It is a composition of the freest principles of the English constitution, with others derived from natural right and natural reason. To these nothing can be more opposed than the maxims of absolute monarchies [the equivalent of today's despots, tyrants and kleptocrats]. yet, from such, we are to expect the greatest number of emigrants. They will bring with them the principles of the governments they leave, imbibed in their early youth; or, if able to throw them off, it will be in exchange for an unbounded licentiousness, passing, as is usual, from one extreme to another. It would be a miracle were they to stop precisely at the point of temperate liberty. These principles, with their language, they will transmit to their children. In proportion to their numbers, they will share with us the legislation. They will infuse into it their spirit, warp and bias its direction, and render it a heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass."

Jefferson chafed at the thought that we could, by inaction, surrender our homogeneity and he was greatly concerned that we might! All this banter about diversity and multiculturalism would have given him fits.

Nothing exemplifies how far we have strayed from the intentions and dreams of our founders more clearly than our current immigration policy. Yes, immigration is an important part of our history. But nobody from the pro-immigration camp wants to discuss the fact that the none of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were immigrants, they were colonist and British subjects. Every member of the Constitutional Convention of 1789 except Alexander Hamilton was born in the colonies. The absolute truth is that the vast majority of our first citizens were Americans by birth and the vast majority of Americans have always been "citizens by birth." We have never had as many as 15 percent of our residents being of foreign origin.

Cast in this proper light, the "nation of immigrants" mantra to which we are constantly subjected becomes tritely idiomatic. If we are to be strictly precise, our history is one forged by colonists who became the first American citizens via revolution. These originals were augmented by immigrants who were eager assimilants: All Americans. Before and until the immigration reforms of 1965, between one quarter and one third of all migrants to this land could not adapt and ended up leaving. Those who came here "seeking a better life" without possessing the all-important corollary "dream of becoming American" were roughly cast aside by a society that was decidedly intolerant of selfish opportunists who didn't want to "get with the program." Promoting diversity for the sake of diversity is as accepting of malignancies as it is of the benign; it will always be an utterly stupid practice.

The only way in which we can assure America's long-term continued success as a sovereign nation is to establish new policies promoting American cultural homogeneity via imposing strict limits on the number of immigrants, demanding rigorously-enforced visa and border laws and insisting that all new arrivals submit to and successfully complete compulsory "patriotic assimilation" courses soon after their arrival. Those who cannot accept our unique culture, mores and values as their own, forsaking all others, should be summarily returned to their countries of origin.

Freedom for sale! Turns out it's cheap, too!

Rachel of Pay Heed to the Geek wonders:

Pay heed to the geek :: The “easy way” out :: January :: 2007:

"I wonder where America would be now if our founding fathers, the abolitionists, the suffragists, the civil rights leaders had all just decided that things were too hard here in this part of North America and gone elsewhere. What if Benjamin Franklin had decided things were easier in France and stayed there? What if Frederick Douglas had just kept following the underground railroad into Canada? What if Susan B. Anthony had become a conservative Quaker? What if Martin Luther King had just stayed in Liberia?

Why are all the Mexicans who are willing to risk life and limb confronting the United States government instead of their own? Why won’t they fight for change in their home land and instead expect us to do it for them? Why do they seem to think that
changing their nation only involves sending a check home on pay day?"

Those are all great questions. I've often wondered similarly myself. What if America had played a harder line with Castro and not allowed any of those who fled his regime to come here? Would he have been able to keep control of a restive and vastly more militant population for so long? Certainly not!

I may come across as less than compassionate at times, and perhaps I am. It is not that I lack feelings for other peoples' strife; it is that I know my ancestors put property, life and limb on the line in the cause of freedom; they did not seek an easier way when they surely could have. That is why I have next-to-zero sympathy for those who come here clamoring for, often demanding, a "better life." I hate the fact that the fruits of my ancestors' efforts have been made so convenient to steal by this government. I loathe the thought that most of those who come here today surely don't consider coming because they desire embracing America's ideals, they come here for "stuff." And in many instances they don't share it or invest it in our economy, the send the stuff "home."

Despicable!

It pisses me off that my family's sacrifices have been made so tritely fungible by both the intent and neglect of those who are supposed to be our leaders. And I'm supposed to find compassion for those complicit? To hell with that!

Human nature surprises the New York Times

Hmmm. Curious stuff. I get the sense that the New York Times had a lot of trouble writing this article. It's as if they didn't see this stuff coming and are now perplexed as to why it is happening. All hail diversity!

Racial Hate Feeds a Gang War’s Senseless Killing

"Our cultural and ethnic diversity are cornerstones of a strong L.A.," the mayor [Antonio R. Villaraigosa] said Friday, "and violent crime motivated by the victim's skin color will not be tolerated."

Earl Ofari Hutchinson, an African-American syndicated columnist who plays host to the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable, a weekly gathering in the Leimert Park neighborhood of South Los Angeles, said blacks complained that illegal Latin American immigrants were stealing jobs. Latinos, particularly newcomers unaccustomed to living among large numbers of African-Americans, in turn accuse blacks of criminal activity and harassing them.

"I think L.A. is a microcosm of what could happen in big cities in the future," Mr. Hutchinson said. "When we have the kind of tension you see in L.A. in the schools, the workplace and now hate-crime violence, my great concern is this is a horrific view of what could happen in other cities."

I'm amused at the non-sequitur nature of Villaraigosa's comment, especially as it is juxtaposed with Mr. Hutchinsons warning to America's big cities.

I'll ask again: What is it about mass-immigration that is supposed to "enrich" us? It really is sad that my rather dim view of human nature is so constantly and explicitly confirmed.

And I thought 24 went nuclear...

Sometimes the little things just set me off. The following is a snippet of what was posted at lisaforpres blog:

...remember how we treated the masses from Europe. They were not sent backa cross the Atlantic Ocean. Does the Statue of Liberty and everything it stands for still have meaning for native born Americans?

I am not suggesting that this is not a problem that needs to be addressed. Only wanting to remind us all; our history has been less than the best. We should consider this when dealing with illegal immigration today.

Here's how I responded:

Prior to the agreements that led to the founding of the United States, there was no such thing as "immigration" nor was there ever an "immigrant." The term "immigrant" was coined by an early US Cartographer in about 1787 and became widely used by American citizens to define a distinction between those who came before this nation was founded and those who had not taken part in the struggle for independence. To be perfectly accurate rather than semantically expedient, those who were here before independence was won were "Colonists." They were citizens of Great Britain and this land was part of that nation.

Thus, this nation's first citizens were not "immigrants" or even "descendants of immigrants." They were "descendants of British colonists" or British colonists themselves. These colonists brought with them the artifacts and rituals of British culture that, thanks to the distance and isolation, gradually became distinct from mother England between 1608 and 1789. During the colonial period, the world was in a rapid state of change. Feudal and tribal means of bonding people into cultures were giving way to the concept of "nation" that in time would supercede tribe and clan for the higher source of allegiance. The native tribes that existed in the Americas were not static, nor were they somehow more "romantic" than any other cultural group on earth. They fought wars amongst each other. They killed, often indiscriminately, and enslaved their vanquished foes. They were just like the rest of the human race. Their dispossession here by colonists was not one bit different or more violent than their previous displacement of those who came before them on this land. The "native Americans" our colonists came upon were merely the most recent conquerors of it. In the end, it was Americans who founded a nation, built a modern infrastructure and became an ever more distinct and unique culture. To consider things that happened before the nation as somehow permanently pertinent to us after we became a nation is only slightly more ignorant than it is arrogant.

Cultures that underpin nations have an interest in maintaining traditions and folkways that have worked over time. It is this concept of carrying forth tradition that led to the first laws pertaining to US naturalization in 1790. Our government has, supposedly, been responsible for maintaining national sovereignty, including the enactment and enforcement of immigration law, ever since. Contrary to popular myth, having never had a foreign-born population that made up as much as 15% of its residents, this nation has not ever been "a nation of immigrants."

A nation has a right and its government an obligation to define itself in many ways. Among the things most vital to our Republic is the fact that citizens -not aliens - have the right to decide who gets to come here, who gets to stay here, who is compatible, who is deemed assimilable and who is not. It is government's responsibility as a steward of the consent given to it by the governed to enact laws that fall in line with things to which citizens consent. More importantly, it is government's job to enforce the laws once they are on the books. In the case of immigration, the enforcement side of the equation has been a task left undone since about 1970. Thanks to this dereliction of duty by our "leaders," we today have a large segment of the general public grown ignorant to this nation's history, the importance of its cultural traditions, with many having bought into the notion that America has always been "multicultural" when it most certainly has not.

The fact of the matter is this: We are in the midst of an unprecedented increase in our nation's foreign-born population both as a percentage of the population and the percentage that arrives from a single source. Mexicans and other Latin Americans are not the product of comparatively similar folkways as past waves of immigrant groups have been. Prior to 1970, all of our significant increases in population from immigration were sourced from the nations of Europe; historically, immigrants to America were those with whom the source nation of our culture, Great Britain, had been "rubbing elbows" with for a couple thousand years. There is no reasonable similarity between the indigenous people or mestizos from Mexico and any prior migrant group that we have managed to assimilate.

Therefore we just don't know what might happen over the long term if we keep the faucet on full-blast. The early signs, such as educational attainment, escape from poverty and avoidance of prison, are not encouraging.

So, for those who insist that America can easily assimilate 20 million Latin Americans and their extended families (perhaps 80 million more), I have a few questions: How do you know this? How can you be sure? What does it mean for my children if you are wrong? What sort of America will you create when you force my children to share the franchise with their children? Is gambling with the cultural cohesiveness of this nation a prudent risk?

If there are no rational and reasonable forthcoming answers to these questions that indicate clearly that the path we find ourselves on will not leave for our descendants diminished standards of living and increased inter-cultural strife, then we must not continue the way we are headed.

Obviously there can be no such assurances!

The current mass-immigrationist regime is taking us down a very dark and foreboding alley from which I fear we will not survive this onslaught being brought to us by those with covert agendas. Some whisper in Republican ears that they need cheap labor as they fiddle in record profits while failing to invest and develop new means of production and labor-saving devices. Others whisper in Democrat ears that these people will be more compliant, more government-dependent. They are happy that the replacements might also be less likely to discern the key differences between a checked-and-balanced Republic and the chaos of direct Democracy: "Oh yes! Let's import new constituencies as replacements for these nagging freedom-lovers!"

No, Lisa. We should not "consider" that our history has been less than the "best" in regard to our handling of immigration, unless you are writing about the recent history of government neglect that has gotten us in this mess. This is not a time for reminiscing about false memes and errant indoctrination about who we are and what got us here.

Instead, it is high time that American citizens step up to beat the snot out of the whispering classes (figuratively or literally -whichever works best and fastest), take back our nation and restore the primacy of the rule of law.

Like Jack Bauer last night, I bet Lisa never saw this coming.

How obvious are the agendas here?

Twelve occupants. Seven dead. Politically correct reporting. It would have been reported the same disingenuous way had they hit another van carrying a family of American citizens - no matter how many citizens were killed. And I'll bet anyone dollars to doughnuts that this was a van full of illegal aliens:

7 die as minivan hits big rig in Okla.
The identities of the victims were not immediately released. Philippi said all the van's occupants were residents of Mexico.

Let me take this a step further now. Those five who were not killed are now taking money out of our pockets. We're all paying for their care. No matter how long it takes. No matter how much it costs. We're all stuck with the bill. The agenda is to make sure we don't notice.

On another front, there is some great news:

Success! Illegal alien cop-killer in US custody
In the pre-dawn hours Thursday morning, US deputy marshals and agents of Mexico's Agencia Federal de Investigationes (AFI) delivered fugitive murderer Jorge Arroyo-Garcia to the Orange County California jail in Santa Ana.

Garcia is a vicious fugitive wanted for the murder of Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff David March four years ago. Garcia was flown from Mexico City to Tijuana late Wednesday night, where the Marshals and AFI agents turned him over to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Investigators.

Here, I think, the agenda is more subtle. It's great that a scumbag is going to face trial for killing a cop. But I have to say that when I first read this I was more than a bit surprised. Mexico does not ever -NEVER- extradites anyone who might face the death penalty.

Why the sudden change? Why in this case? Could it be that Mexico is working with the open borders goon squad (McCain, Bush, Kennedy) on another McAmnesty? Perhaps they believe their episodic enforcement shows will lessen the outrage over lax immigration enforcement in the minds of a few more citizens? Does this arrest and extradition pony-show work in concert with the Swift Meat raids? Are little tidbits of news re-casting illegal aliens as less of a problem aimed at conning the more gullible among us? Will the made-up-news make some worry less about whether government is capable of managing a new program to document and track 20 million amnestied "guest workers?" Will the "good news" continue to dribble out while Congresscritters deal an incurable blow to the middle class and a rape the hopes and dreams of future generations? Will this raise hope amongst Corporatist disciples of economism and trigger more dollars to flow from the accounts of US Chamber of Commerce members into campaign accounts? Does the possible fulfillment of hope for the most greedy, and least concerned for sovereignty, that the greatest con in the history this American Nation's government will finally be perpetrated for their benefit?

Will the media play along by failing to report the crimes and costs of illegal aliens as evidenced by the minivan vs. big-rig story?

You betcha!

There aren't enough asshats to go around on this one. The ruse mirrors exactly what I'd do were I in charge of marketing amnesty to a public that proves mostly ignorant to the details but has shown a gut-level antipathy for amnesty. I'd put on a show targeted at weakening the resolve of those who don't have the time to pay close attention.

Do ya think I've grown too cynical?

Tinfoil Hatter Alert!

This has to be the most bizarre quote I've posted in 2006:

A Fork in the Road for Food - Alan Hall
"Record-setting enforcement of immigration laws is disturbing the food production system in rural New York State, and elsewhere."

This is so off the wall I have to rephrase it for clarity: Forty years of "record-setting non-enforcement of our nation's laws" has rendered many so addicted to illegally-obtained serf labor that our nation's agricultural special interest groups are impotent to leverage technology and bring to us not only cheaper food, but safer food. You can bet your sweet Taco Bell on it. American High school kids are building fusion reactors in their basements but Big Ag can't think its way out of the middle ages even when many farms are proving quite adept at it.

The whining and moaning of serf addicts spikes at the most meager and pathetic attempts at enforcement. And it usually brings some PhD'd doofus out of the woodwork to bestow victim status on everyone who is at the very least complicit in a vast wink-and-nod conspiracy to break the law. The only way current enforcement efforts are "unprecedented" is that there is a difference between a 0.00000% level and a 0.00001% level of adequate enforcement.

This "Alan Hall" person may very well be an "Associate Professor of Work, Criminology, Health, & Rural Sociology" at the University of Windsor. (I did a bit of Googling and found the professor has written on organic farming in the past, so this connection, I think, is fairly strong.) Please do read the whole article he wrote, it's good for a few laughs. He quotes freely from a New York Times article reposted at a notorious blog of record for moonbats, Truthout.org, but he does not give attribution in the article...when he is using quotations! Why am I not surprised this guy's a professor?

The web site this bizarre blather appears at is a strange one also. I wonder how many people actually read it? The site is a promoter of an oft-debunked economic theory called the "Elliot Wave Principle," which apparently undergoes modification every time it's prophesied calamity doesn't occur at the date it was supposed to occur. It appears to me that Elliot Wave's followers are sort of like Jehovah's witnesses, buying into new "reasons" devined within its dogma that just happen to be "discovered" as the time for armageddon passes.

Just to know that we've got guys like Alan Hall working for the enemy makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

My heart refuses to bleed for criminals

It appears that Swift & Co's actions before the recent raids actually allowed the escape of 400 or so of those who had not only entered our nation illegally, but also had stolen and were using the identities of American citizens. Swift did everything it could to stop the raids from happening, even though it had months to clean up its act.

According to Swift: "These actions by ICE, or a comparable mass removal action,would have a direct impact on many legal workers, as well as suspected illegal workers, and would irreparably harm Swift by interfering with its legal business operations and by damaging its reputation."

I'm not moved at all by Swift's pleas.

The Department of Justice countered: "Put simply, there is no constitutional or statutory right for anyone to continue violating the law, and the government need not work on a potential law violators' timetable, especially where, as here, doing so would undermine legitimate law-enforcement operations."

I agree with the Department of Justice, but remain unconvinced that this action is anything but a smarmy feigning of interest in enforcement to give Congresscritters cover prior to their passing a massive amnesty that promises...PROMISES...to do irrevocable harm in its alteration of the character of this nation. The irony here is that if there is an amnesty now, considering the number of illegal aliens is at least double the number claimed by government, America's majority will finally learn out how onerously it has been duped. I foresee then end of the two-party system. Those who dream and idealize diversity and multiculturalism will probably get it.

And they're in for the shock of their lives when they find out they've led us all down the primrose path to a fractured, balkanized nation. Don't believe me? Then consider the following video, if you can stomach the Tribune's obviously wretched bias and appeal to emotion. Please pay attention early on to what some of the Mexicans who weren't arrested say in regard to this nation's sovereignty:

This sort of raid needs to happen somewhere in America every day for the next 10 years. Pick up a few hundred here, a couple dozen there, the occasional large cache of the worst of the worst and start perp-walking some of these corporate heads for good measure...problem solved. And maybe, just maybe, we'll piss off enough of those on the loony left who actually want these people to be amnestied that some of them will leave too.

Now THAT would be cause for celebration.

If it walks like a duck...

A brief history:

• November 19 - Congressman Tom Tancredo says in an interview with WorldNet Daily, "Look at what has happened to Miami. It has become a Third World country."
• November 27 - Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen objected and extended an invitation to Congressman Tancredo to visit Miami saying, "come on down, Tom, the water's fine."
• November 29 - Florida Governor Jeb Bush replies, "Miami is a wonderful city filled with diversity and heritage that we choose to celebrate, not insult.''
• November 29 - Tancredo replies, "I certainly understand and appreciate your need and desire to try and create the illusion of Miami as a multiethnic 'All American' city. Indeed sir, one of us is naive."
• December 12 - It is announced that Tancredo, taking up Bush and Ros-Lehtinen on their offer, will speak at the December 14 Rotary Club of Miami meeting about "Renewing America: The Need for Assimilation."
• December 13 - The Rusty Pelician Restaurant cancels the Rotary meetings apparently after bomb and death threats were called into the Miami Herald and after the restaurant's staff balked at working at an event where Tancredo would be speaking.
• December 13 - Scientists reiterate that animals that look like ducks, walk like ducks, crap like ducks and have duck DNA are, in fact, ducks.
• December 13 - Tancredo spokesman Carlos Espinosa backs up the scientists with our December 14 quote of the day:

DenverPost.com - Tancredo's Miami speech canceled

"What says Third World Country more than a bomb threat at a speech by a politician?"

It cannot be said any better, folks!

"The boy was dragged 0.85 miles..."

Arrrgghhh! I just want to spit:

Driver voices regret for fatal accident - baltimoresun.com

"The pickup truck driven by Arellano de Hogue struck 55-year-old Marjorie Thomas as she pushed her grandson, Elijah Cozart, in a stroller across Goucher Boulevard, just south of Colbury Road, near the boy's home, police said.

With the stroller caught in the undercarriage of the truck, the boy was dragged 0.85 miles before the driver briefly swerved into a yard on Regester Avenue and the child's body was dislodged, according to charging documents.

A police officer who followed drag and scuff marks from the scene of the crash to an address in the 1500 block of Regester Avenue found the child, gasping for air, near deep ruts in the grassy yard, according to charging documents. The boy's lower body had been mangled and his clothes were almost gone, police wrote in the court documents.

The blue stroller, located nearby in the driveway, was "twisted, in pieces and completely destroyed," according to the charging documents. Elijah was pronounced dead about 4:15 p.m. Friday at Good Samaritan Hospital."

Earlier in the story, the woman, a soon-to-be naturalized American citizen who came here from Mexico, said through an interpreter that she felt "really bad."

Court documents made public yesterday contained new details of the incident, including that the boy appeared to be conscious when police found him more than eight-tenths of a mile from where he was struck.

They also show that Arellano de Hogue told police that her brakes did not work because the stroller was stuck beneath the vehicle - and that when she was able to stop, she pulled the empty stroller from beneath the vehicle and drove home.

She told police that she did not call 911 about the incident "because of her 'nervous state' and it gave her amnesia," according to a statement of probable cause prepared for the court by police.

No. You feel "really bad" when you knock over somebody's mailbox. It appears from the story that Arrellano de Hogue was an illegal alien given a get into America free card by one of the previous amnesties our government has given millions interlopers who had no respect for our laws to begin with, so why would we expect her to stop after she ran over an elderly woman and crushed a child in a stroller?

More:

Another woman at her home, who was a passenger in the truck, told police that she and Arellano de Hogue were returning from a Wal-Mart at the time of the incident. That woman, who according to the court document gave differing accounts of what happened after the accident, was not charged.

Did her passenger have "amnesia" too?

Then there's this:

Arellano de Hogue is a permanent resident of the United States and has taken - but not yet received the results of - a citizenship test, her lawyer, Michael A. Zwaig, said in court.

If this woman has taken her citzenship test, then why in the hell does she still need a freaking interpreter? Sigh. And the dimwits at DHS will still probably make her a citizen. Just watch.

"Go Back To Europe, White Man"

A big HT to FreedomFolks

Please watch:

Here's the deal: There are a lot more like him in our midst, folks. And El Presidente Jefe Bush and his merry band of corporatist and leftists, accidentally allied in their support for mass immigration, have no concern for what their open borders plans will do (and even less concern for what they might do) to the prospects of this nation remaining in the first world for future generations of Americans. They would have the majority replaced by more compliant, government-dependent serfs who historically have shown no commitment to individual liberty. Those of us who understand our rights and obligations as citizens are deemed too difficult to deal with by those holding keys to this evil alliance, so replacing us with serfs would be logically preferable.

If you want to know what things would look like if the south had won the civil war, you can see a fairly reasonable facsimilie if you look to the shadow leadership that is managed by influence peddlers on the far left and "free trade trumps all" disciples of economism on the right. The only substantial difference between the importation of slaves and the importation of illegal alien...or amnestied...or guest worker...serfs is that eventually the latter three will gain the franchise in far greater numbers. As their vote begins to form a substantial plurality, they will transmogrify and warp the direction of government. They will give their new overlords more power in exchange for unfettered access to the big nanny state feeding teat, and eventually they will overwhelm our heritage.

I'm committed to stopping the realization of reconquista visions of some horrific post-American America as espoused so succinctly by the bastard in this video. I can only hope, and pray, that there are still enough real Americans left; that is, those who know, have learned, still remember and still believe that our founders intended for this nation to be conservative in its approach to change. The wholesale radicalization of our underpinnings via the continuation of this 40- year mass immigration debacle cannot continue. Those who have come illegally should be compelled via strict enforcement to leave, and those who refuse to go of their own accord should be dealt with most harshly: There should be gigantic catapults stationed at the border and used to send people like the guy in the video back to Mexico.

Human Resources Pros Must Be Getting Anxious

Today I'm linking to an old story that's been given new life. Aside from ICE actually being allowed to do its job, the story below is also noteworthy because the story appears at Business and Legal Reports in the Human Resources section. I've long noted here that, thanks to infiltration of its professional organizations' leadership by secularists and multiculturalists, the profession of human resources has become one most loathesome I can imagine, falling somewhere beneath used car salesman and Mel Martinez staffer while remaining only slightly above NAMBLA member on my list of the most heinous group identifiers.

It is, perhaps, even more telling that the BLR now devotes a whole section to illegal immigration. If human resource types are gathering information on immigration enforcement activities, it might just be likely that they are planning for imminent changes in the way they do their jobs. The tipping point in HR might just be met by a minor increase in enforcement at this point; they don't neccesarily have to see their colleagues perp-walked to imagine themselves in such straits.

Business Owner to Forfeit $1.5M in Illegal Alien Case

"The owner of an Indiana company that performed stucco-related services at construction sites in seven Midwest states has agreed to forfeit more than $1.5 million after pleading guilty to conspiring to harbor illegal aliens.

Robert Adrian Porcisanu, a 28-year-old citizen of Romania who is also known as Iulian Jijie, and his Franklin , Indiana , business Stucco Design Inc., agreed to forfeit $1,581,000. Porcisanu was also sentenced to 18 months in prison.

According to court documents, Porcisanu and Stucco Design Inc. were able to undercut competitors' bids and win contracts to perform stucco-related construction work with general contractors by taking advantage of cheaper labor costs by using illegal alien employees."

Also of note here is that there is no mention that these criminals are supposed to be deported once they have served their sentences.

Biden stakes out territory to mass-immigrationist's right

Hmmm. Pragmatic. Honest. Absolutely accurate. Methinks the at least some of the Democrat leadership isn't buying the data from rigged polls, have done some of their own, are ready to throw Tamar Jacoby under the bus and are steaking out winning turf for 2008:

Biden: Blame immigration woes on Mexico

"'Mexico is a country that is an erstwhile democracy where they have the greatest disparity of wealth,' Biden said. 'It is one of the wealthiest countries in the hemisphere and because of a corrupt system that exists in Mexico, there is the 1 percent of the population at the top, a very small middle class and the rest is abject poverty.'

Unless the political dynamics change in Mexico and U.S. employers who hire illegal immigrants are punished, illegal immigration won't stop. 'All the rest is window dressing,' he said."

The GOP better get its act together and stop selling our sovereignty down the river or they're going to find that the bottom wasn't reached earlier this month. If it takes a "President Biden" to give the Mexican government the bitch slapping it deserves, count me in.

Note: When Tancredo says these things, he's dismissed by the less intellectually capable wing of the GOP. What are they going to say about Biden that doesn't make them look like the idiots they are?

Compatibility of Hispanic "family values" proved laughable

Heather McDonald dares posit a truth and dares open-borders lunatics to consider it.

Hispanic Family Values? by Heather Mac Donald, City Journal Autumn 2006

"Since conservative open-borders advocates have yet to acknowledge the facts of Hispanic family breakdown, there is no way to know what their solution to it is. But they had better come up with one quickly, because the problem is here—and growing."

Are they listening? Probably not. It's hard to hear the outside when you live in a gated community and don't have the "pleasure" of listening to the malignant drum-beat of multiculturalism. Good Conservatives need to begin an inquisition into just who started trying to sell them on the idea that 20 years from now this legion of government-largesse-dependent illegitimates will somehow become Republican voters.

Heads should roll. But I'm not counting on it as long as folks like me are berated and badgered (in a sickeningly politically correct manner) for pointing out that Mexico's support for reconquista isn't a fantasy.

Fisking points: Hispanics (supposedly) react to GOP 's being mean

Last Sunday there was a "news" story in the St. Pete Times (Florida's second most liberal paper after the Palm Beach Post) that reads much more like an Op-Ed aimed at putting fear in the minds of all non-Hispanic Conservatives than it reads "news." This is just another example of a key tactic being employed throughout the MSM and the Corporatist wing of the GOP. It is nothing but a thinly-veiled attempt to use political correctness as a tool for silencing those of us who are opposed to our nation being picked apart by "multiculturalism" much like and expensive car parked overnight in a bad neighborhood will surely be less of a car by morning.

Make no mistake about it, many of our supposedly Conservative "leaders" along with their leftist-elite de facto conspirators are hell bent on performing the societal equivalent of broken windows experiments upon us. They're hoping we won't notice that a byproduct of their need for cheap labor or desire for creating new, compliant voting blocs will surely be the wholesale transformation of our culture, and with it will come the destruction ofthe very things that made and have kept us a great nation.

Let's take a look inside the mind of a couple of clueless reporters, Jose Cardenas and Adam Smith:

Hispanic voter shift: anomaly or new rule?

"Here's something Florida Republicans a year ago never dreamed possible: a Democrat representing heavily Republican Little Havana in the state House.

Of course they wouldn't have dreamed it. Now, why don't our intrepid reporters tell us right away how the demographics have shifted in that barrio? Folks, here's a hint: "Little Havana" isn't majority Cuban anymore. Every day it becomes more and more of a hodge-podge slum made up of various lower-class, government-dependent imports from Central and South America, the very sort of imports that, once they access our franchise, will vote consistently Democrat. These newspaper shills are counting on readers to grow tired of the story and stop reading. They start by claiming the Little Havana is a GOP stronghold and end by pointing out that it isn't.

But that's precisely what happened on Election Day, as Democrats in Florida and across the country gained ground among Hispanic voters. If the trend continues, it could have far-reaching political implications.

No it isn't "precisely what happened." Far from it. Toward the end of this article, there are hints that the reporters understand what went on, but just don't get around to reporting it. It would not help them advance "the cause" they favor; that is, the cause of mass immigration. They never get around to pointing out clearly that actual turnout data indicates that for the first time since the Reagan revolution GOP turnout was depressed across the board. The election had no far reaching political implications unless all GOP turnout has been permanently affected. That's highly unlikely.

On Election Day, for the first time since 1976 - when Jimmy Carter got at least half of the Hispanic vote here - the Democratic candidate on the ballot's biggest race got at least an equal share of their vote as the Republican, said Sergio Bendixen, a Democratic pollster in Miami.

Let's all just ignore the fact that the "equal share" was an historically unrepresentative one.

Democrat Jim Davis and Republican Charlie Crist each got 49 percent of the Hispanic vote, according to television network exit polls.

Exit polls are notoriously irrelevant. With the growing influence of absentee and early voters on election outcomes, polling people on election day, particularly as they leave polling locations, captures an ever-decreasing part of the whole picture.

"We now believe we are in a position to be much more aggressively competitive within the Hispanic community as a result of this success," said Luis Navarro,executive director of the Florida Democratic Party.

Now, would we expect him to say anything else?

Another exit poll by the nonpartisan William C. Velasquez Institute found that Davis received 53 percent of the Hispanic vote and Crist received 42 percent. The poll also indicated that two-thirds of Hispanic voters cast ballots for Democrats in their congressional races.

This is misleading on two counts: 1) It fails to note that one fifth of Florida's registered voters' Congressional intentions went uncounted because their Congressman was unchallenged in the general election; and 2) the reporters don't point out that the William C. Velasquez Institute is a race-baiting, pro-Hispanic, reconquista front group.

"The question is whether this is a trend or is it a reaction in '06 to A) the immigration issue or B) the anti-Republican feeling nationwide," said the institute's Alvaro Fernandez.

My question for Mr. Alvarez is: How important is finding results that skew your way to the prospects for your next Paycheck?

Nowhere was the swing for Democrats more evident than in Miami-Dade County,where Democrat Luis Garcia was elected to the state House in a district that includes Little Havana and that historically has been dominated by Republicans.

Here is presented a new version of the "Prop 187 killed the GOP in California" false meme. In California, the non-Latino white middle and upper middle classes have been fleeing since the court ruled - in declaring Prop 187 unconstitutional - they must bear the disproportionate burden of public service costs for illegal aliens and their misbegotten anchor babies.

The original Cubans in Little Havana are being replaced by lower class recent balseros and other low-skilled, low-wage social burdens we've imported from the Southern Hemisphere. It's going to elect Democrats from here on out. Hialeah has had a Democrat mayor for what, 20 years? Fact errors and omissions like this would have earned me an instant "F" in my college journalism courses.

Like Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who is married to a Mexican immigrant and speaks Spanish, President Bush has made Hispanic voters a priority.

Bush got about 40 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2004. But exit polls last week showed that Republican candidates for the House of Representatives received only about 30 percent of the vote, while Democratic candidates got 69 percent.

These guys just don't get it that they're not comparing mangos to mangos. Never mind that that they're trying to read tea leaves grown in a banana republic where nothing makes sense to those in possession of American sensibilities anyway.

This week President Bush named Florida Sen. Mel Martinez general chairman of the Republican Party, a move seen by both Republicans and Democrats as an attempt to woo Hispanic voters back.

Woo them back? Let's examine what that really means: If we're generous and grant that Martinez at the helm of the GOP means a 5% bump in the Hispanic vote, and conservatively estimate that in the process he jettisons 5% of the White vote, it means that the GOP is hoping to increase its representative share of 8% of the electorate by 5% while decreasing its representative share of 80% of the electorate by 5%.

So, in this best case Mel Martinez scenario the GOP gains four Hispanic votes for every 1000 cast and loses 40 votes for every 1000 cast. Since when is intentionally striving to attain a net loss of 3.6% of the vote a "good thing" in politics?

"Democrats should be happy that this vote swung back our way," said Simon Rosenberg, president of NDN, a liberal advocacy group in Washington, D.C. But "if there isn't comprehensive immigration reform there will be consequences for Democrats because then we will look like Republicans."

No, if there is "comprehensive immigration reform," you'll piss off just as much of the majority as the Senate did - maybe more. But I suppose they're your race baited talking points, so I won't quibble your with idiocy any Further.

In contrast to Hispanic voters around the country, who tend to vote for Democrats, Florida has long been an anomaly because of its Cuban-American bloc that prefers the Republican Party.

But not since 1996, when many Hispanic voters across the country were turned off by heated Republican rhetoric over welfare reform, have Florida Republicans fared so poorly with Hispanic voters. Al Cardenas, former state GOP chairman, said it was a direct result of the immigration debate.

"There was a lot of rhetoric during this campaign season that hurt the sensibilities of some Hispanics and the end result was a predictable step-back," Cardenas said.

And there has been a lot of invading going on for the last 40 years that has disgusted much of the majority and led hundreds of thousands of people, my family included, to abandon their life-long homes in order to maintain American standards of living and pass along an unbastardized cultural heritage to their children. I believe that in the minds of our leaders my family's long-term best interests should carry more weight than any foreign born's, regardless of their immigration status. And when half of any new ethnic bloc is here in violation of and disregard for our laws, I care less and less about how my antipathy appears to people who are naturalized but champion the "rights" of a class of people who should not be here. Do you get that, Al?

Rosenberg said the firm stand on illegal immigration by some Republican candidates could harm their party long term in Florida and some Southwest states. He compared it to California in the 1990s when then Gov. Pete Wilson promoted a ballot initiative that, before it was overturned by the courts, denied most public services to undocumented immigrants.

Some political observers say Wilson doomed the Republican Party among Hispanic voters in California, causing Democrats to eventually dominate state government.

We've already been over it. It's a travesty that Pete Wilson is continually demonized for the result of the voters' intent being tossed aside by the courts. It boggles the mind that so many people buy into the silly notion that a constitutional amendment aimed at curtailing illegal immigration that passed with a significant margin is the reason California is now a blue state. I guess it is true that people will believe anything if you tell them to believe it often enough. Grey Davis knew what he was doing when he refused to appeal the lower court's decision: He was intentionally making the Hispanization of California permanent in order to make it a blue state. Period. It worked.

There are strong inferences that must be considered by GOP leadership before it goes along with President Bush's desire to have Mel Martinez be the public face of the Republican Party. The GOP basically has written off California, but it expects a different result if it Mexifornicates the entire nation? Give - me - a - break!

In Florida, increasing diversity within the Hispanic community has gradually improved Democrats' chances at the votes of Hispanics, who make up about 12 percent of the electorate

South Florida remains largely Cuban-American. But Puerto Ricans and Hispanics from Mexico and Central and South America who are more inclined to vote for Democrats have increasingly moved to the state, particularly to Central Florida.

For example, while there are 736,000 Cubans and 90,000 Puerto Ricans in Miami-Dade County, according to the U.S. Census, in Orange County there are 115,000 Puerto Ricans but only 16,000 Cubans.

Here lies the real story: Except for a dwindling number of hold-outs who hate the Democrat party for JFK's abandoning them at the Bay of Pigs, Hispanics vote predominately for Democrats. Why isn't this at the top of the story? What agenda might these ethically-bastardized media folks be wanting to convey?

Shhh. Be very, very quiet. We don't want the natives to notice they're being disenfranchised in the name of cheap labor and votes!

"I think what has been happening in the last couple of decades, a large influx of non-Cuban Latinos have been moving to the area," said Annabelle Conroy, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Central Florida. "They don't have the attachment to the Republican Party that Cuban-Americans do."

In South Florida, increasing diversity in the Hispanic population also was one reason Garcia said he won his state House seat.

He pointed out that a well-known Cuban restaurant former President Ronald Reagan visited in the 1980s to promise that Cuba would be freed from Castro is now a Mexican restaurant.

So, La Esquina de Tejas is now a Mexican restaurant? I guess the Cuban power brokers eat somewhere else for lunch, then drive home to Kendall or Doral or something. There isn't "diversity" in Dade County. There are only pockets of cultural "singularity" whose residents seeth with disdain for those living in the other balkanized enclaves around them. I know there are some who find such things "refreshing," but it offends my sensibilities to witness the denigration of my heritage. I've lived in Miami. There's nothing there for any American soul whose attachment to the sacrifices his forebears made is still strong; there is an expectation there that American's must assimilate to them, not the other way around. And Mel Martinez wants their votes. The GOP will lose mine permanently in the process.

In addition to demographic changes, Garcia and Navarro, executive director of the Florida Democratic Party, said the party launched an unprecedented media campaign statewide to try to get more Hispanic voters.

In South Florida, the party ran Spanish-language radio and television advertisements highlighting to Cuban-Americans issues of concern to all voters, such as property insurance.

"Our voters are getting more sophisticated. They will vote on candidates and issues" besides those related to Cuba, said Garcia. "Keep in mind that this is not Little Havana anymore. It's like little Latin America now."

Using one election as a gauge of increased sophistication is like having one botox treatment and claiming to have had a face lift.

Along the Interstate 4 corridor, the advertising campaign featured bilingual spots targeting non-Cuban Hispanics on economic issues.

But not everyone sees gloom for the Republican Party among Hispanics in Florida. While Hispanics in Central Florida voted predominantly for Democrats, Crist still received 70 percent of the Cuban vote in Miami-Dade County, said Dario Moreno, director of the Metropolitan Center at Florida International University.

Let's not remind Dario that it wasn't all that long ago, before any of the Marielitos earned the vote, that the GOP always carried a guaranteed 90%+ of the same demographic. What a shocker! Who knew that people who grew up in a socialist country would end up leaning leftist when given the right to vote in the nation in which they found a home...one in a community that really wasn't all that different from the corrupt place they left. It's just easier to buy nice stuff in Miami than it is in Havana.

What made the difference in Miami-Dade, he said, was that some Cuban-Americans did not go to the polls because they were disenchanted by infighting among Republicans For the first time since I've been doing this..." he said, "Cuban voter turnout was low."

Another nugget of truth gets buried at the bottom. Nope, no hidden agendas to see here. Move along.

Cardenas said Republicans already have taken the first step toward getting theHispanic vote back in Florida and elsewhere.

"My sense is just as we did after 1996, we're going to make a comeback if we're smart about it," Cardenas said. "And the choice of Mel Martinez will go a long way to doing that."

Right, Al. And the trade off will be poison to the GOP base.

What Makes (and might keep) the GOP Chumps

There are myriad reasons why the GOP got crushed last week and none of them have to do with the decline of the Hispanic vote from 2004. That election was an aberration, one that was mis-quantified first as 44%, then 40%, then 38%. These numbers bounced all over the place in various post-election analyses because the figures came from exit polling, which thanks to increases in early voting and absentee voting, are being made less and less reliable each election cycle. Campaigns and local partisan efforts specifically target their base for get-out-the-early-vote operations, which deflates election-day turnout: An increasing percentage of the most strategically important voters have already voted by then. Only in districts in which Hispanics are a true swing factor in the final total would they be subject to such intense courting. Since Hispanics represent only 6% to 8% of the electorate, those districts are few and far between. The Republican Hispanic vote is going to remain perpetually capped at between 30% and 35% in the same manner that the Republican Black vote is stuck at about 8%. Furthermore, as Cubans (the only loyal GOP Hispanics) get over their hatred for JFK, they're going to slide to the political left of center where they, based on their cultural tendencies, belong, so the GOP Hispanic vote is likely to decline...and immigration restrictionists like me will be blamed for causing natural declines in the Republican Hispanic vote.

The cold fact of the matter is that the ethnic and cultural economism and body politic of the Hispanic mean leans more to the left than our nation's majority ethnicity does. Naturalized and domestic-born Americans of Mexican descent in particular are likely to behave as an intransigent bloc resistant to GOP efforts to woo them. At least this will be the case as long as Republicans as a whole desire less government.

Call me all the names you like, but I'm not going to stop pointing out that the proponents of mass-immigration from the third world are hell-bent on making us a more stupid nation. The Mexican government is counting on it as it seeks to keep Mexicans, especially those who are American citizens, loyal to Mexico first. Part and parcel of this scheme requires faithful Mexicans in America to maintain their cultural antipathy for education. For the foreseeable future...at least throughout my lifetime and probably my child's...the Hispanic vote will remain more desirous of and likely dependent upon government programs. They'll want more of them so they'll vote more often for Democrats.

The Republican share of the Hispanic vote last week was at about the level we can expect going forward. Check out what Thomas Sowell has to say about the issue and I'll follow it up with my top ten list of reasons why the GOP got hammered.

Townhall.com::From champs to chumps::By Thomas Sowell

"If the people in the White House do not understand how outraged their supporters were at this year's attempt to pass an amnesty bill for illegals -- virtually guaranteeing that even more millions will come -- then it is hard to know what message they got from the Republicans' recent debacle at the polls.

Immigration was not the only issue but it was part of the more general issue of betrayal, which includes the Republicans' runaway spending, among other things."

So, here's my list. I might order these a bit differently if I thought about it long enough, but I think I cover most of the bases:

1. Iraq - How I long for the time in which we had the intestinal fortitude to go in and kick ass so bad that even those who would like to martyr themselves are given pause. Except for the initial battle plan, this is a complete mess. And it's Bush's fault.
2. Immigration - The governing majority party will never do well when folks in Nebraska are complaining about culturally incompatible mobs suddenly popping up amongst them and the major networks are showing footage of aliens marching with foreign flags on American soil.
3. Spending - "Big-Government Republican" is supposed to be an oxymoron, you morons.
4. Education - Get your stinking commie "No-Child-Left-Behind" hands off my kid! Got it?
5. McCain-Feingold - Mr. President, did you know that you're allowed to veto legislation that violates the first amendment?
   
6. George Bush - At some point, no matter how intelligent a person actually is, his inability to articulate in proper english stops being quaint. These days, even the most loyal Neo-Conservative Bush-ites cringe at the announcement of a Presidential addresss or press conference.
7. Donut Hole - What a great idea to make old folks start paying full-freight for their prescription meds each year about the time the election rolls around! Not.
   
8. Jobs - It doesn't matter how low the unemployment figures go if you're not considering those who have either become underemployed, quit looking for work or whose wages are being artificially kept static thanks to offshoring, inshoring and other factors. There are no rose-colored glasses effective at blinding people to their own situations no matter what the economists and statisticians are telling them.
   
9. Honesty - This is from my gut. People are getting sick and tired of having to obfuscate their true feelings out of fear that they're going to violate the mandates of political correctness. When the President starts calling citizen volunteers like The Minutemen ugly names and stops talking about putting a halt to gay marriage, it looks as though the White House is soaked in a load of PC dung. And it probably is.
   
10. Ethics - Not only have to many elected Republicans become greedy whores, they've also taken up the habit of straight-faced lying to the public by trying to redefine words to make them sound more palatable, i.e., Amnesty.
    

To top it all off, there isn't a single GOP candidate or rumored candidate for President in 2008 that inspires me at all. I'd say the GOP is in for a rough couple of years if it doesn't start to stand for America's working class citizens, many of them so-called Reagan Democrats, again.

The Day the GOP Left Me

If reports are true, the Republican Party has officially left me. If dingbat Senator Mel Martinez is made GOP chairman, I'll no longer consider myself a Republican:

BREITBART.COM - Fla. Senator Mel Martinez to Chair RNC

"Sen. Mel Martinez, the first-term lawmaker who previously served in President Bush's Cabinet, will assume the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee, GOP officials said Monday."

To make its public persona the face of a foreign-born traitor to all that my ancestors made possible is the last straw. I'm a Republican no more. I don't know what I'll do about my voter registration because there are sure to be hordes of open borders scumbags recruited to run in GOP primaries, and some of them will probably be behind-the-scenes promotions of sovereignty-loathing swine to run against those who dare to remain members of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus. My vote in the primaries will probably be more and more decided by a default position of opposition to whomever Martinez decides is worthy. I'll have to disinfect my wallet after every visit to the polls from here out; the stench of treason that emanates from Republican leadership will be unbearable.

Agriculture Sings the Blues About the Shortage of Serfs

I stumbled across this little video that consists of a bunch of Texas farmers whining about not being able to find enough illegal aliens any more. No mention of the fact that the ones that used to work the fields have moved on to compete with American workers in other less strenuous workplaces. The flow of the farm-worker brigage of the illegal alien invasion is dwindling and it can do nothing but shrink even if the we left the borders wide open and paid the illegals' transportation fees. Create a guest-worker program and watch them all bypass stoop labor for other jobs.

The farmers have nobody but themselves to blame for their predicament. They've spent so much money on lobbyists to keep farm subsidies high instead of planning for a different, less labor-intensive future. As I watched the video listening to the same sad, defeatist refrain from different speakers. It becomes redundant and irritating. Then, just as I was about to nod off, up pops illegal alien pimpstress Tamar Jacoby, who has never seen an illegal alien she didn't want to make an instant citizen. But alas, it's the same refrain from her...with one twist. She makes the asinine claim that the majority of Americans actually would prefer a faster pathway to legal residency and citizenship than a guest worker program as part of "comprehensive reform." That is the message she claims to be getting from the broad opposition to a guest worker program shown by most polls. Talk about lame efforts at reframing an issue!

My bottom line: There has been a dearth of investment in planting and harvesting technology. While the rest of the world's major commercial enterprises have flourished thanks to new ideas and inventions, the farmer still depends on stoop labor. This is all they talk about. It defines their very existence. The late Sam Francis had this all figured out. (I have to note that I wrote the part about the stupid spending on lobbyists before if found Sam's old article.)

The farmers threaten to move their operations to the other side of the border if they don't get their labor. They don't define it as "cheap labor." They define it as "the only labor they can get." My first question for them is what they plan to do after the last Mexican willing to work in the fields to crosses the border. And if you think about the raw math involved, that time would not be far off if a guest worker program were established. Alien labor of any sort is just a short term fix. Of course there are 5 billion some-odd people in the world at or below our standard of living, so I guess the farmers would want to import new blood from somewhere else. And, ultimately, we'd have to share the franchise that our ancestors built with even more people who don't even have words in their language or concepts in their culture that equate to Americanist "liberty" or "freedom."

What it comes down to here is: Do we allow our leaders to cave into the farm lobby, and the other cheap-labor lobbies, or do we put a stop to the insanity and demand? "Go find another way." That's what Americans do. We put men on the moon in eight years thanks to what, one paragraph in a presidential speech? We cure "incurable" diseases, increase life spans, have robots running around on Mars but we need uneducated Mexicans with poor saniation habits to feed us? That's just nuts.

This nation has always been cutting-edge on these things, but today's farmers...and I come from a farm family...have themselves convinced of their own inadequacy. Now, I'm all for government giving these guys tax breaks for investing in R&D to build new machines that will allow one man to do the work of many. If we don't kill each other off or allow political correctness to lead us to dhimmitude, these machines are inevitable: Total mechanization of the entire farming industy will happen. It isn't a question of if, but a question of when. These guys are just too lazy themselves to seek their own futures. It sickens me to listen to this crap.

As I write this, there are 166 THOUSAND links in Google to the exact term "mechanical harvesting." So, farmers...and especially you whiners in the video...get off your asses, act like real Americans and go invent your way out of your addiction to compliant serfs. I'm already skittish enough about my spinach and lettuce and I know you guys have to be getting to the bottom of the bottom of a pretty filthy barrel already as far as the IQ and knowledge of human sanitation by your field hands is concerned. Tell me, Mr. Farmer, what happens when ALL of your produce is suspect for contamination and the spread of infectious disease?

So, Mr. Farmer, listen up. I'll support you if you go to Congress and say "give me tax breaks" for innovation. Say to them, " help me and let me work with the best and brightest minds at America's universities to develop the future of farming." You work with me to close the borders and allow for a timed, gradual ratcheting up of employer sanctions and I'll work with you to build a better future and a better America that doesn't "need" help from anybody to sustain itself. Just the thought that there are, apparently, so many of you who are stuck in a "we can't" mode makes me want to lose my lunch faster than Popeye after a visit to a salad bar.

Got it?

Corporatist shows his stripes in the illegal alien issue: Americans are incompetent

Sorry for the slow blogging. I'm getting back up to speed more quickly, but still have a way to go before my regular schedule will return.

An Illegal Alien Is Not an Immigrant by Former Dow Chemical CEO, Paul Oreffice

"Why should the U.S. government grant a probationary period, allowing illegal aliens to prove themselves? The answer is simple. America needs them! Without the 12 million illegal aliens our economy would suffer a mighty blow. Who would we find to take the jobs in construction, hotels, restaurants, and gardening, which these men and women are doing effectively?"

No Mr. Oreffice, America does not "need" them. For us to buy in, it requires us to allow you to define a problem as "we need cheap labor" when actually the definition is things that need to be done. Your misdirection from the real issue to a false one leads you to propose a remarkably un-American solution based upon the fallacy more human labor from the third world not only is required but is also the only manner in which we should discuss how to sustain ourselves.

In reality, the most significant thing that "Illegal alien labor," or "guest worker program labor," or "amnestied worker labor" does is enable the continuance of a systemic immoral instant-gratification addiction on the part of corporations that encourages them to defer investment in innovation that is vital to our future standing as a beacon for the world to emulate. Your vision is corporatist, globalist and anti-middle class; you favor a two-tiered world of haves and have-nots instead of the broad, vital socioeconomic strata has been a primary key to this nation's strength as a people a culture and a united force for good in the world. And in your world, the "have nots" live in third-world squalor.

This nation has an aging population that is going to live a lot longer and remain a lot more able bodied in its old age than previous generations. When in a day not too far off when the average life span of an American hits the mid-80's, we're going to have a situation in which the precious resource of experience that could be put to good use through the development today of the tools to enable our future elderly, a demographic of which I hope to be a part, will have a need to be enabled to contribute to society. If we continue to flood our lower class with an unending stream of unskilled workers, there will be no new ideas, concepts or tools for my generation (I'm in my 40s) to use for the betterment of mankind in the decades ahead.

Plus, these people you desire are, quite frankly, nothing more than compliant, unacceptably mediocre-minded human cogs. Those over whom you salivate to sustain your short-sighted vision will physically break down in large numbers - they'll be worn out before they're old. They will require government support systems and they will compete for social services with my generation. Eventually, if we let you have your way, they will elect representatives who, beholden to these made-for-your-convenience-Americans, will divvy up my forefathers' treasure and share it with those who will not deserve it. You may consider it harsh, but sharing my birthright and franchise with hundreds of millions of first and second generation residents who will have had little to no exposure true American enculturalization is an insult to my ancestors. You're an immigrant; it appears that you, yourself, do not possess the capacity to understand how deeply many of us feel about keeping our culture. You may subscribe to some version of the "American creed," but you do not share and cannot share the blood of my heritage and, therefore, cannot imagine the things I do when I wonder what my forefathers would want for this nation today. So I doubt you can fully comprehend what I'm trying to get across to you.

I for one have no interest in spending thirty years in retirement; I'd rather have something to do. Give me the computer and remote-operated industrial tools to do things and I'll plant and harvest vast quantities of crops, do preconstruction work on homes and buildings or myriad other things that need to be in the planning stages today. Mr. Oreffice, I'm astounded by the gall of arrogant elites, like you, who are willing to make obscene amounts of money on the backs of compliant serfs today with no concern for my future...or the future my ancestors desired for my descendants. I'm much more a fan of the businessman who looks prudently to the past for moral clarity, then decides that his toil will prepare for a future America that builds upon this nation's foundational "can do" spirit.

I view your plan as effectually pissing on the wick that illuminates the beacon shining on Winthrop's "city on a hill." At its heart is the belief that America is weak, incapable of survival without massive transfusions of alien blood and it fails to consider if the blood is of a compatible type.

Freedom Folks video: Illegal Aliens invade Carpentersville, Il

I did a quick check on the demographics of this tiny town of 35,000. From the data, I'll wager that it used to be a lot tinier. The census says it's 42% Hispanic today, but the voting data says it's 55% Republican in registration. The only conclusion that can be reached from these two tidbits is that there are an awful lot of residents who are not citizens; there is no way that a small town like this that is 42% Hispanic votes 55% Republican unless the vast majority of those who are hispanic do not have the legal right to vote.

And apparently, the rightful citizens of this little community are fed up with it. The Village Council is trying to pass an ordinance, an Illegal Alien Immigration Relief ordinance, which would establish English as the village's official language and would fine landlords and business owners who aid and abet illegal aliens. So, last night's Council meeting was beseiged by the usual racialist, open-borders goons that are frantically trying to stop local governments from doing the jobs our President won't allow the Federal Government to do.

The Bald Chick rocks in this video:

Freedom Folks

"We attended a protest in the sleepy town of Carpentersville, Illinois last night. Illegal immigrants and their supporters were protesting a Hazelton type ordinance that would seek to punish landlordds for renting to illegals and prevent businesses from hiring them as well."

Don't watch if your head is prone to exploding over seeing the invasion up close.

This is NOT aimed at Catholics: I've Got a Beef With The Vatican

In following up my previous post about being banned by the Goose-Stepping Legion of Political Correctness more commonly known as the proprietors of RedState, just on a hunch I Googled the following:

Vatican illegal aliens USA majority catholic

I've read enough history to know that the leadership within The Vatican has had a distinct antipathy for the people who lived and crafted the story of this nation's founding. They didn't like the Puritans. They didn't like the Protestant denominations that became strong here. They winced at two periods, "Great Awakenings" of strong Protestant revival, one before the revolution and one after. And most important to me, they just didn't like my ancestors and probably still don't.

I've long believed that the Catholic Church leadership has a long memory. Remember, these are people, not saints, that we're talking about. So they naturally would hold grudges. In their little cloisters, the resentment likely festered and continues to fester. I would not put intentional, planned retribution beyond a group that would cover up the molestation of thousands of children. Sorry if that offends you, but common sense and human nature just point me to that conclusion.

Now, as for my little search above. Here's an excerpt from the first link, written by a Wisconsin pastor:

EIPS - Romanizing America Through Illegal Immigration

"On May 1, a favorite Communist holiday, illegals staged a nationwide work stoppage and boycott of businesses and schools. The alien lobby also once more staged marches and rallies nationwide. As reported by NBC News, some of those activities were launched from local Roman Catholic parish churches. This outburst of protest is a response to several immigration and border reform measures working their way through the U.S. Congress. According to current estimates, there are as many as twenty million illegal aliens in the United States of America.

Rome aiding and abetting

It is unfortunate that very few Americans have been concerned with the religious aspect of this issue. The Roman Catholic Church is aiding and abetting the criminal invasion of America from Mexico, working both legally and criminally to bring as many illegal Mexican immigrants into my country as possible. In this, Rome has one goal in mind - the pope and his henchmen are seeking to turn America, founded and still a Protestant country, into a Roman Catholic country.

To that end, the Justice for Immigrants campaign was founded by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Twenty other Catholic organizations have joined together with the bishops in a massive educational, media, and political campaign to block legislation to deal with the alien invasion of America. On its website, the Justice for Immigrants campaign lists the bishops' 'criteria for the reform of the U.S. immigration system, including . . . abandonment of the border 'blockade' enforcement strategy.' Plainly speaking, the goal is to eliminate America's security along our border with Mexico! The U.S. bishops together with their Mexican counterparts, of course with papal consent and encouragement, have determined to use Catholic treasure, influence, and manpower to erase America's border! This is not surprising to the discerning Christian. Sovereign nations have always been a hindrance to the pope's effective exercise of his office as "father of kings, governor of the world and Vicar of Christ."

So, as far as I'm concerned, if a Wisconsin Protestant pastor, who surely has given this more thought than I have, is willing to go out on a limb and call out the Catholic leadership for its collusion and criminality in the illegal alien invasion we now suffer, I don't give a tinker's damn about the pissants who run RedState.

The moment these guys let Political Correctness start to dictate their thoughts, words and actions, they became a nothing greater than a gaggle of cultural bastards. To me the saddest thing about all this is that I bothered to participate in and lend credence to a group that represents itself as "mainstream" America but is lorded over primarily by moderates with social-liberal leanings.

Where Political Correctness Runs Amok: Banned at Red State

I've been a commenter and diarist at RedState for a year and a half. Today, I was banned.

Why?

For calling out a regular commenter there whom I consider to be a racialist cheerleader for the hispanification of my nation and the burial of my ancestral history, that's why. I'll just share the exchange and be done with it. If you'd like to read the broader context, click on the first link and you'll be taken to that point in the discussion thread.:

Sandor: You are correct. by PB Almeida

I regard immigration from Muslim countries to be potentially a grave danger. I say this with significant regret, because I know the vast majority of Muslims in the US are peaceful, patriotic, and productive (more so than natives, so I'm told) folks. Moreover, a case can be made for more, not less, immigration from the Muslim world precisely to build up cultural ties that may ameliorate some of the hositility this region feels for the USA. Nonetheless, given the lethality of the Jihadist virus infecting the lands from Morocco to Java, I think simple prudence dictates a wariness on the part of America with respect to immigration from Muslim countries. I wish it weren't so, but I prefer to live in the world as it exists -- not the one I wish I lived in. To lay my cards on the table, I'd sooner a 100,000 illegals from Guatemala than a 100,000 legals from Saudi Arabia. Such talk is no doubt considered shockingly unPC in certain quarters. I think it's plain common sense. (and of course, I'd much prefer 100,000 legals from Guatemala than their legal counterparts from S.A.). I make no bones about wanting to subvert the economics behind illegal immigration via legalizing it.

I don't see that much difference... by KDaddy

...between 100,000 Muslims and 100,000 Catholics.

Muslim citizens subordinate their allegiance to the U.S. in favor of Mecca first, Catholic citizens subordinate theirs to the Vatican. Muslims would like to make us dhimmi. Vatican city would like nothing more than to make us it's lapdog by replacing America's foundational Protestant majority with a more compliant Catholic one.

Either way, we'd no longer be the America for which my ancestors fought, bled, died, prayed and hoped.

The Vatican's interests do not have any regard for what their desires may bring to us in terms of Culture, Economics, Heritage or any other basis for argument those of us who wish to restrict immigration might make. This is as much or more about tithes as it is about faith. Long-standing desire for retribution is also a part of the equation. Just because the "Know-Nothings" are vilified by contemporary historians, it doesn't mean their political positions were completely without foundation.

Those who deny that fact are either liars or fools.

One of the problems with the site switch by Thomas

...is some data loss, so it was harder to keep track of old warnings from the Scoop days.

Good news, though; your old warning stuck in my mind.

The Contact Form is your friend. Good luck.

This last post by "Thomas" is the indication that my account had been nuked. So be it.

My only regret is that my unposted response to Neil Stevens was that the historic foundations of this nation do indeed include a strong antipathy for "Papists" on the part of the Puritans and that the Puritan ethic still existed strongly during the mid-1800s. It still remains in some Protestant denominations and churches. It was part of the reason for the formation of the "Know-Nothing" Party. I've always taken it as a given that there remains a cheerleading section in the Vatican for this nation to be made majority Catholic. And it smacks of retribution.

I thought my point was clear that my beef is not with Catholics in general, but with their leadership. Protestants don't have a Pope, or a City-State from which to manipulate their diaspora throughout the world. It's a damned shame the folks running RedState don't have an intellectual capacity for discernment unaffected by political correctness. Social Marxism creeps in some of the even most conservative of places. That's a shame.

So, let's all take note that it's OK to vilify all Lebanese Muslims at RedState, but to even mention that a Catholic majority in America would mean a fundamental change in its enculturization processes is prohibited. It's OK to question whether or not allowing those who would make us dhimmi by the sword should be allowed to mass immigrate here. But God forbid we question the wisdom of some slow takeover via large-scale invasion of another culture beholden not only to other values and a single language, but also to a single, powerful and wealthy nation - The Vatican - is verboten. I suppose I'm not allowed to notice when Catholic Diocese hold hands with communist groups like International Answer in orchestrating those awful marches for illegal alien "rights" a few months back.

The irony in being banned for responding to someone who openly espouses the takeover of my nation by his third-world brethren is very thick. Am I supposed to Goose-step now?

Jake Digs Through Archives, Hits the Mother Lode

This is the kind of thinking and exposition we need more of in the Blogosphere. Jake's a great writer, and he's been doing a much better job of posting than I have lately; I'm still a bit sidelined from a close encounter between the rear of my vehicle with the front of another. Jake found an old piece that should be recorded as a sermon and played over and over to those who place economism before nationalism. The former set of ideals cannot exist without the latter set; it becomes a home without a foundation that surely will be swept away by the first storm that comes along.

Amnesty: A Point Of View

"An aspect of this debate has been rendered very clearly for me, and it relates to something I've thought for years, it is whether we live in a nation or an economy. I've noticed that this issue more than any other is something you either feel in your gut or you don't. Many otherwise fine people are talking about American citzenship as a commodity to be traded and sold or bartered to an end.

Whereas most Americans see it as something precious. Something to be valued highly.

I think this debate has shown us both on the right and the left that there is a great swath of this country that no longer feel American in their gut. It's an abstraction and quite possibly an irritation to them, something that gets in the way of doing business. Something that slows down the free movement of goods, services and peoples.

Or, another view is that everyone on the planet is an American who just happened to be born in another country.

But when the American people are confronted by the obnoxious symbols from last weekends rallies, those that still get this in their guts recoil and wonder about this new reality we're being asked to not only accept but embrace.

I am personally affronted by every single person who crosses our border illegally. It hits me in my gut like a punch. Yet as I scan through the blogosphere it's clear to me that many don't feel this way at all, though this position is a clear minority that seem to put trade before nationality."

Thanks for my morning mental coffee, Jake. I hope a lot of my visitors take the time to click and read the whole piece. It's a gem. I'm inspired to do some good works today.

Absurdity of the Century: Vicente Fox Criticizes US Crime Rate

This pisses me off:

Mexican Leader Knocks U.S. Crime Rates - Forbes.com

"I saw that crime rates in the United States increased 3.5 percent so far this year. So they have their own problems,' Fox said. 'And with numbers of homicides, it's better we don't speak about them, because, even though they show up on the front pages every day, there are many fewer here than there.'"

Presidente Prick Vic, if I may call you that, I think you need to get a little perspective. While I'd like to give you an attitude adjustment that involves something far more painful than what my delivery of words and pixels can deliver, it is indeed unfortunate I cannot reach our to you with a truncheon.

Since I cannot personally beat some sense into you, I'd like for you or your minions who visit this site to take a look at the faces, surnames and birth nations of the FBI's most wanted murderers. On today's list (9/22/06), eight of the first ten listed are YOUR citizens, Vic. Only one of them is an American Citizen! And he's of hispanic origin, Vic. Whenever I need a reminder of why I loathe you and your regime so much, Vic, all I have to do is check for changes to this list: Amazingly, it's basic demographic characteristics don't seem to change, Vic. There are an awful lot of citizens of YOUR nation who commit the most horrific crimes on OUR side of the border. Americans are being killed by your citizens, Vic. American families are being devastated because you are pawning off your problems on us, Vic. It's been an increasing problem for the past couple of decades, Vic.

So if you really care about the U.S. violent crime rate, then please stop sending your people here. If you won't do that, the please, shut the f**k up, asshat!

I Was Neanderthal Before Neanderthal Was Cool

Can anyone out there imagine something like the piece excerpted below being written five years ago? Two years ago? Last September? Or even perhaps in March of this year?

I can't.

So, today, we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the weasels and other various assorted scumbags at the National Council for LaRaza, The Ford Foundation, the US Chamber of Commerce, the Bush Administration, The American Immigration Lawyers Association, MALDEF, International Answer, the Catholic Church, Vicente Fox, our various local Mexican Consular officials and a host of other sleazy panderers who either organized, supported or tacitly endorsed those laughable "marches for immigrant rights" we railed about earlier this year. Without their involvement, those of us who consider ourselves to be rational restrictionists would never have made so much progress in such a short period of time.

Salt Lake Tribune - Lowry: Score one for the Neanderthals on immigration

"When it comes to the border, we're all Neanderthals now.

When the amateur border guards, the Minutemen, first set up with their lawn chairs and binoculars at the U.S.-Mexico border and started talking about the need to build a fence, polite opinion scoffed. Now, the fence almost represents a consensus position, embraced by the left and right alike, from likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to the rabble-rousing pro-enforcement conservative Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado. "

I've got to give the Joe Lunchbuckets of America a lot of credit here. They aren't being cowed by the snake-oil peddlers of "Comprehensive Reform." There is more accurately-informed awareness of this issue than ever before. The demand for enforcement first and enforcement only becomes more solid and resonant with each passing day: We are all becoming Minutemen now.

I wonder if this is what it was like in the run-up to the Johnson-Reed Act in 1924, the single most important component of the cultural glue that assured America's rise its place in the world today.

Perhaps.

But we must allow ourselves even a smidgen of overconfidence. We must keep hammering away at these bastards who would sell our heritage and our children's future down some putrid third-world river, sans paddles. We need to beat every single one of these organizations back under the rocks from which they have oozed. It sure feels good to know that we actually do have a chance to win, to restore our sovereignty and to re-secure the blessings of American-style liberty our ancestors entrusted to us. Our path to securing a lasting victory still requires replacing many in the halls of both houses of Congress; however, even those who want open borders the most have soiled themselves over what the Congressional hearing sessions across this nation revealed.

Let's not rest until there is no safe elected seat anywhere for anyone who would put the false "needs" of the cheap labor lobby or those who would rather we be replaced by a dumber, more easily-led and socially-dependent constituency of non-assimilating imports and their sure-to-be-misinformed, maladjusted and un-Americanized descendants.

Our children require and deserve our action. Let's make our descendants look back upon what we did to preserve their heritage with pride.

Lest we forget:

Best Libertarian Argument Against The Open Border Immigration Status Quo - EVER

Here'a brilliant piece by Stephen Cox editor of Liberty, a Libertarian journal. Wish I'd written it myself...I've been cogitating on the problem for 15 years and this fellow has added more new arguments to my immigration restrictionist quiver than anyone in the past few years, and he's a LIBERTARIAN!!!

Are there more who think like him? And if so, why are we not electing them?

Liberty - Immigration: Yes, No, and Maybe

"Suppose, as frequently happens, that an election in the state of California results in a modest increase of one billion dollars in state expenditures, and that the election is won by a margin of 100,000 votes. Every voter within that margin has just cost the taxpayers one billion dollars, or $10,000 per left-wing voter. One would think that libertarians would do everything they could to decrease that margin. Instead, many libertarians, even candidates of the Libertarian Party, join with labor unions, Mexican nationalists, the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic church, professional advocates of the welfare state, and Bushite conservatives, hustling for any vote they think they can get, in attempting to increase the number of voters who are likely to approve the largest possible extension of the welfare state.

This would be funny, if it were happening on some other planet."

I am humbled by Mr. Cox's ability to completely disembowel every argument in favor of open borders mass immigration for the sake of: cheap labor, vote grubbing, "it's good for the economy," "we're a nation of immigrants," Emma Lazarusitis, and every other affliction that consumes the decrepit minds of the elites, the churches, the liberals, the MeCHAistas, etc.

It's a long read. Print it out and finish it. You'll be glad you did.

Brilliant work. Really, it is. I am humbled.

Miller Boycott Grows

The Bottom line: No matter what Miller Brewing Company representatives say today, their recent actions speak more clearly:

• They apologized to LaRaza for their PAC contribution to Representative Sensenbrenner, the primary sponsor of HR4437, even took out ads saying "we're sorry" to latino racialist-minded groups and individuals


• They contributed $30,000 for a meeting at which plans for additional marches of illegal aliens demanding rights they do not have


• They support the free movement of labor, regardless of borders, laws and sovereignty


• If you are a legal American citizen, they do not have your interests in mind at all, only their corporate bottom line - companies considerate of American interests think about us first

Let's keep it up. Boycott Miller Brewing Company products.

Illegal Alien Gets Hangnail, MSM Blames Xenophobia

Friends: Again, I apologize for the break in posting. I'm still not up to full speed from the car accident and it is often all I can do to get "must do's" done each day. So this little avocation ov mine has to suffer with me.

This is one of those "tell me something I didn't already know" stories, but it deserves mention. Here's the gist: The mainstream media is promoting the illegal alien cause. I know we're all shocked here, right?

Election In The Streets - 08/28/06 - Media Research Center Special Report

"The report concludes with recommendations for a more balanced picture in network news coverage of the immigration debate. Newscasters need to acknowledge that protests, even large ones, are often an incomplete measure of public opinion. Both sides of the debate deserve a chance to speak in news stories, not just voices 'emerging from the shadows' that reporters sympathetically promote. On this issue, as well as many others, network newscasts ought to reflect the reality that the political debate is between conservatives and liberals, not conservatives and supposed nonpartisans painted in gauzy terms like 'immigrant rights groups' - even as they decried 'fascist' opponents."

As a product of our nation's better schools of media indoctrination colleges of journalism & communications and having worked in both corporate and government media relations offices, I know that many reporters are oblivious to the manner in which their own biases color their work. But I also know that many of them are more than aware of what is going on; they simply have no qualms about creating false scenarios to affect change in society while cloaked beneath the mantle of journalistic ethics and expectations of objectivity.

To their credit, the folks at CNN and Lou Dobbs' show played it fairly straight with the report:

CNN Devotes Story to MRC Study on Media Coverage of Illegal Immigration | NewsBusters.org

"Casey Wian, from Los Angeles: 'When the House of Representatives passed the Sensenbrenner border security bill in December, the three broadcast television networks did not report the development during their evening newscasts. But months later, when illegal alien advocacy groups organized street protests against the bill, the networks gave those demonstrations glowing coverage. That's just one of the charges in a study released this week by the conservative Media Research Center. It claims ABC, CBS, and NBC News have been promoting illegal immigration.'"

This isn't going to be written on these pages very often, so make a note of the date. It may never happen again: I applaud CNN for it's coverage of this study.

And Some People Complain About The "Harshness" Of The House Immigration Reform Committee

Boiled bones show Aztecs butchered, ate invaders - Yahoo! News

"Skeletons found at an unearthed site in Mexico show Aztecs captured, ritually sacrificed and partially ate several hundred people traveling with invading Spanish forces in 1520.

Skulls and bones from the Tecuaque archeological site near Mexico City show about 550 victims had their hearts ripped out by Aztec priests in ritual offerings, and were dismembered or had their bones boiled or scraped clean, experts say."

Humanity has always recognized the importance of making examples of those who get out of line. I really believe that with just a few public "perp walks" of some lousy, illegal-alien-cheaplaboraddict© CEO's and just enough workplace raids to break the inertia, maybe we could turn the tide of invasion around and actually have a prosperous and culturally harmonious future for our children and those who follow them.

But on the other hand, if we went all "Aztec" on those scoundrels responsible for the greed-conjured demand for unskilled labor, my Cauldrons-R-Us stock would go up.

Decisions, decisions. Too bad I'm as loathe to the practice of economism as I am to cannibalism.

Pence- Hutchinson: A Pig with a PR Director

Crossposted and slightly modified from a response I wrote at RedState. If you are interested in what I'm saying here, you should probably read the original post and then skip down to about item #47.

The Pence Hutchinson Bill is a pig with PR director. It has no limits at all on the number of guest workers it allows to come in for three years. That's a long time when there are about five billion earthlings who would like to share our standard of living without having to build it themselves. It has a pathway to citizenship. It is a guarantee that there will be 100 million more residents of this nation in about two generations, most of whom will have no history of bonding with the majority culture. Twenty five years from now, more than one in four American residents will not be able to claim a great-grandparent who ever lived in the United States.

With news today (actually it's old news rehashed) that liberals aren't reproducing (Yay!), all that will be left of the Democrat party in another generation will be minorities and a smattering of the socially-dependent others. The GOP will either be be the party run by the privileged classes in a society just like Mexico's, but with a middle class just placated enough for it to maintian power; or it will become the "Corporatist Party" (based on Bush's record, it may already be that) and there will be a third party dominated by those of us whose ancestors founded this nation.

If either the Pence Bill or the Senate Bill becomes law, at some point in my child's lifetime this nation will demographically contain only about a 45% plurality of people who descended from those who came here prior to the Hart-Celler-Multiculturalization Act. This will force partisanship to be drawn more closely along ethnic lines; think Sunni, Shia, Kurd and you'll have a pretty clear comparison, except without IEDs and C4-packed vests (we hope.)

Pence-Hutchinson is a recipe for disaster of Biblical-Tower-Of-Babel proportions.

Burke indicated that nations thrive best when there is a mindful stewardship of ancient and ancestral customs, ideals, mores and values. This nation, going back to colonial days is the result of the shared, handed-down commonalities between ancient tribes who fought, traded, intermingled and the core of their human nature recognized each other for their interrelatedness. Those who came here during the great wave between 1890 and 1924 were peoples who came from nations that resulted from basically the same subset of ancient tribes. Yet it still took the nativism of the Johnson-Reed Act to save us from what was to come; had there still been large diasporic communities of Germans and Italians at the start of WWII, we either would not have entered into the war, or we would have had east coast internment camps of Germans and Italians to match the west coast Japanese camps. What sort of world would we have today had the United States culturally unraveled in the years leading up to the war?

I must address American "assimilatability:" On one end there are peoples who come from cultures with whom we share a couple thousand years of history and on the other end there are those we have not been rubbing elbows with since humans used rocks as tools. The hard fact of American immigration is, the only people we have ever even tried to assimilate en-mass have been, on a macro scale, our close relatives. And we had to put a stop to the last great wave once they became about 15% of the resident population and Americans felt the pain of change forced upon us too fast. On the other end of the assimilatability scale are folks like the Somali Bantu. Go ask the folks in Lewiston, Maine how that is going. Central and South American Mestizos fall somewhere in the middle of this scale: Yes, this nation has wecomed immigrants, but this nation has never tried the sort of social engineering that International A.N.S.W.E.R., the American Socialist Party, a gaggle of Anarchists, the Democrat Party and the Corporatist wing of the GOP support. Sadly, even many people at RedState have been rendered ignorant to how truly insidious the Pence's ideas are. They hail him as the second coming of Reagan. The more the RedStaters cheer Pence, the more I begin to think that Moe, Larry and Curly have taken over the place.

The Pence bill will the source nations of "guest-workers" to peoples with whom we have almost zero shared history. We do not know each other, from a broader multi-generational perspective; thus, we will not mingle except at the edges. And we all know, ask the French or the Dutch if you're confused, "Guest Workers" never leave.

In allowing it's passage, or the passage of the Senate plan, we would be doing to ourselves exactly what the Citizens and Leaders of the Roman empire did by figuring "all these Goths, Visigoths and Vandals aren't so bad." So, for as long as I breathe air on this earth I will never stand idly by as the scourge of the practitioners of "Economism" remain intent on laying waste to the gift my ancestors entrusted to me and expected me to keep and cherish for my children.

The Pence-Hutchinson Bill is a slap in the face to each and every one of my dead relatives. They can take it and shove it where the sun don't shine.

My "Google-ball'" Says Violent Removal Of Illegal Aliens May Be In Our Future, And Soon

Google Is My Trend Meter

I keep a broad-based list of search alerts active in my Google account. For nearly every interest, friend and curiosity about which I'd like to have information, I keep at least one customized Google Alert active. I enjoy it when the opportunity presents itself to send a note or make a call to a friend who gets positive press or mention in the news media. I savor giving a friend the news that someone has referenced his words or deeds in a blog. It's a great way to enhance relationships. But since the bulk of my search criteria seeks information about average, everyday Americans on my contact list, most of my alerts rarely or never send me any news. Some alerts send me news about a friend or interest in spurts as something related them creates a buzz.

Aside from my friend-list alerts, most of my search terms help me pay attention to trends related to my work, my hobbies and my beliefs. I have noted with growing distress that so far this year the alerts I have set up to seek words and phrases related to illegal immigration have grown exponentially in comparison to all others. To be fair, I must admit that not only are my immigration-issue-related hits coming from American-based sites, they are coming from nearly every first-world nation. Still, my alerts on immigration issues are a primarily American affair.

As recently as February, this segment of my alert stream usually would amount to at most about a quarter of my total daily hit volume. Today, there are three or four immigration alert hits for each hit related to all of my other Google Alerts combined! In second place is an alert stream about Islamic extremism; more of the world is beginning to question whether or not those who follow Mohammed should be allowed a place in any civil societies based on Western values.

The overall message I'm getting from my immigration-related alerts is that there are an awful lot of Americans whose anger is about to cross the line from conversation and angst to action. Particularly since we witnessed the arrogant marches of peon fifth-column aliens, backed by a vile alliance of Democrats, communists, anarchists, Catholic priests and aided by the complicit silence of most of our Conservative elected leaders, I began to notice a rapid change in both the pace and the tenor of American opinion in the Blogosphere debate and in MSM reporting on immigration issues. It is important to note that on the other side of Average Joe American's concerns, there is a smaller, growing and virulent strain of reconquista sentiment that is itching for a fight.


What the "G-Leaves" Say

If information flow patterns are any sort of reliable indicator, and I believe they are, there are many who have recently awoken to the possibility that this nation is on the precipice of rolling over and submitting, via immigration-invasion or amnesty, to a future characterized by decidedly un-American mediocrity; thus, people who were disinterested or uninformed before the marches are paying attention and getting increasingly pissed off. More importantly, they're becoming less afraid of being labeled politically incorrect for having the nerve to desire a future for their children that is as good or better than what their ancestors secured for them. Subtle defensive mechanisms are in overdrive: There's more ethnic profiling going on in this nation, by average citizens, than ever before. So, Mr. Illegal Alien, that Soccer Mom waiting behind you in line at the convenience store while you Western Union wire your untaxed pay back home isn't only upset that you're making her wait. That was what she was upset about last year before she understood what you represent; today, she's furious that some government agent isn't bursting through the door to haul your ass back to your homeland.

I've sounded the alarm many times on these pages that violence might break out over this issue, but I always figured it was at least a few years away. The more Google Alerts I get and the more I read and converse about this issue, the more my gut tells me that we're a lot closer to seeing violent confrontations. The weak-kneed blathering of most in Congress coupled with the arrogant sovereignty-dissolving agenda of the Bush Administration is pouring gasoline on the floor of the warehouse of our patience and good nature. I'm pretty much convinced that our leaders have placed us only one flash-point-incident away from real Americans reaching a point of unwavering certainty that this government has abandoned them.

If my reading of the Google tea leaves is correct, some incident is going to happen very soon to cause Patriots to take in upon themselves to forcefully deal with the Corporatist greed addicts and imported parasites Vicente Fox, the Democrat party, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, some elements of Catholic leadership and the complicit wing of the GOP have foisted upon us. Constitutionally, it may well be our duty to do so; for once this government refuses to stop doing things we abhor - a rebuke of the foundational imperative that they serve by our consent - then it is time for Citizens to remind those we have elected that under our system, We The People are boss. Just as surely as a son must acceed to his parent's wishes regarding his behavior, his associations and his attitude, it is the obligation of anyone elected in these United States to do the bidding of his constituents whether or not he is in agreement with them.

My concern here is where we will have to go and what we will have to do in order to root out not only the obvious oligarchs, but also the closeted ones who who serve not the people, but corporate and other interests to which our sovereignty is a mere inconvenience. I must consult my "Google-ball" for more alerts and I fear they may begin to look more and more like this one...at one of these protests, somebody's going to have a book of matches. After that, in the words of our asshat in chief, "You're either with us, or you're against us."

In a related story, I've been kind of ticked off at Pat Buchanan over his comments about Israel, but still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I wish I had the opportunity to actually speak with him off the record to find out what he's really getting at...and what information he has that he has not yet shared. Pat's got a new book out, and there is much food for thought in the summary of it on Drudge Report:

DRUDGE REPORT FLASH 2006®

"Buchanan slams the president: “Concerned about his legacy, George W. Bush may yet live to see his name entered into the history of his country as the president who lost the American Southwest that James K. Polk won for the United States.'

In EMERGENCY, Pat Buchanan charges the Mexican regime with an Aztlan Plot, a conscious campaign to use America as a dumping ground for its poor and unemployed, both to relieve social pressure and effect a cultural re-annexation of the American Southwest. La Reconquista, the reconquest of the lands lost by Mexico in the Mexican-American War, Buchanan charges, is underway.

The Republican Party, a wholly owned subsidiary of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is in the grip of a cult called “Economism.” It is all about money now. The GOP worships at the “Church of GDP”"

Have a great week folks, we'll get through all this. We're Americans, dammit!

Want to see what illegal aliens are costing YOU every second?

Well, this is brilliant. This page, provided by the Center for Immigration Studies, is just a list of real-time counters of numbers and costs related to illegal aliens invading our nation. The numbers are not made up, but are based upon CIS's years of research into the facts and figures the government releases coupled with the Center's ever-increasing capabilities.

Thanks to the growing American outrage at our feckless leaders lack of action in expelling those who do not belong here, citizens are stepping up and contributing hard cash to efforts of those who want to restore sanity to our immigration policy, enforcement, human numbers and the character of those we allow the privilege of coming to America. This group, NumbersUSA and the Federation for American Immigration Reform all need not only our voices, faxes and letters, they need donations so they can continue to find innovative ways to express the size and scope of our crisis.

"Leaders" for Mass Immigration: It's all about turning "by the people" on its head

In catching up on my reading, I came across this disturbing item:

Center for Immigration Studies: Immigration and Usurpation

"...the Republican enthusiasm for increased immigration also was not so much about voting in the end, even with 'converted' Latinos. Instead, these legislators seemingly believed that they could weaken the restraining and frustrating straightjacket devised by the Founding Fathers and abetted by American norms. In that idealized 'new' United States, political uncertainty, demanding constituents, difficult elections, and accountability in general would 'go away' after tinkering with the People, who have given lawmakers their privileges but who, like a Sword of Damocles, can also 'unfairly' take them away. Hispanics would acquiesce and assist in the 'natural progress' of these legislators to remain in power and increase the scope of that power. In this sense, Republicans and Democrats were similar."

You really need to read the whole linked article to get the full impact. The bottom line is that, as I have suspected and have written about for some time, there is a move afoot to marginalize, and eventually destroy, the culture and norms of the people whose families founded this nation. For years I've been trying to cobble together pieces of the puzzle of why our leaders would do this. I have always instinctively felt that this is all about the keeping of power. But I have been unable to reconcile why any Republican in his right mind would want to import so many who have attachments to a culture and system of mores that is foundationally contrary to the notion that government works best when its power is granted by "the People." In general, Mexicans and their descendants in America will never be Republicans because they cannot be Republicans: Based on their track record of failure, it appears they do not deem themselves worthy of the top spot in a system that depends on the "consent of the governed."

Can it be that our leaders are willing to do whatever it takes to keep power in the short term, not caring at all about the long term future for America? By pushing for the passage of amnesty, guest worker programs and other devices that can only transmogrify the electorate and marginalize us all into something less than we are today, Republicans are ruining their chances to lead in the long term. Can a lust within the GOP for keeping power today really be what motivates many Republicans to push for programs that can only continue our post-Hart-Celler Act slow slide into the dull mediocrity promised by having a substantially government-program-dependent population? Can a desire to do away with the notion of accountablilty to the electorate be a part of this equation?

Yes, I'm afraid it can and likely is on both counts.

Fisking Pence

I had the displeasure of listening to Congressman Mike Pence spin his asinine "No Amnesty Immigration Reform" on Rush Limbaugh's show yesterday. I wanted to shoot my car radio; I hate it when Congresscritters lie, which is why I suppose I' disturbed when some of them breathe, but when a supposed Conservative sells out to a single person with a vested interest in an ample supply of cheap, compliant labor, then crafts a house of lies to sell it, I get really ticked off.

The Pence Plan Draft is a 280-page monster, so I'm just going to fisk his "executive summary" today:

Executive Summary: The Pence Plan: No Amnesty Immigration Reform

"The Border Integrity and Immigration Reform Act is a bill that is tough on border security and tough on employers who hire illegal aliens, but recognizes the need for a guest worker program that operates without amnesty and without growing into a huge new government bureaucracy."
-Rep. Mike Pence

Let's see how disingenuous Pence really is.

The following is an Executive Summary of the Pence Plan: No Amnesty Immigration Reform. The summary is based on excerpts from remarks that U.S. Congressman Mike Pence delivered at The Heritage Foundation on Tuesday May 23, 2006, entitled "Renewing the American Dream: The Real Rational Middle Ground on Immigration Reform." The entire speech may be read at: http://www.mikepence.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=45134.

Mike, repeating that "No Amnesty" drivel ad nauseum will never make it true. But that's not your point, is it? You're hoping to convince enough of the gullible with your lie to fulfill Helen Kriebel's Kervorkianesque dreams for America, aren't you?

The Four-Step Solution: No Amnesty Immigration Reform

I see the solution as a four-step process:

1. Secure our border.

2. Make the decision, once and for all, to deny amnesty to people whose first act in the United States was a violation of the law.

3. Put in place a guest worker program, without amnesty, that will efficiently provide American employers with willing guest workers who come to America legally.

4. Enforce tough employer sanctions that ensure a full partnership between American business and the American government in the enforcement of our laws on immigration and guest workers.

It makes for a nice sound bite, Mike. Too bad point two is false, point three is laughably unworkable and the Simpson-Mazzoli debacle proved to anyone with the intellectual capacity to do a child's connect-the-dots puzzle that point four will never happen if the first three things happen.


Step One: Secure the border

A nation without borders is not a nation, and across this country Americans are anxious about the security of our border. In 2005, Customs and Border Patrol stopped 1,189,114 people from illegally crossing the border. Of that number, approximately 165,000 were from countries other than Mexico.

Mike, a nation that colludes with business interests who would have us destroy it's core culture won't be a nation for long either.

We can control our borders. To that end, the House of Representatives got off to a great start in December 2005 by passing H.R. 4437, the Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005. The Judiciary Committee and the Homeland Security Committee put together a strong bill that will secure our borders. The Pence Plan includes H.R. 4437 in its entirety with only minor changes.

The House-passed bill adds port of entry inspectors, ends catch and release, puts to use American technology such as unmanned aerial vehicles and requires the building of a security fence across approximately 700 miles of our Southern border.

My bill mandates that the border be secured before the guest worker program can begin. It does so by requiring that the Secretary of Homeland Security certify to the President and Congress that operational control over the border has been substantially achieved prior to the implementation of the temporary guest worker program described in Step Three.

Let's see here, Mike. So you've given the responsibility of "certifying" that border control has been achieved to an agency with a vested interest in making such certification regardless of whether or not actual border security is in place. You're going to let bureaucrats, who can be and often are influenced by special interests outside the spotlight of the legislative process, give Congress assurances that all is hunky dory. Really? And you expect thoughtful, rational people to buy into this? The thought makes me want to IRCA.

Step Two: Say no to amnesty in any form

My bill offers a no amnesty solution to the problem of twelve million illegal aliens living in our country. Some argue that there is no amnesty if these twelve million illegal aliens are required to pay a fine or back taxes. I disagree. That is what the Senate passed. I believe no bill is better than a bad bill that grants amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.

Amnesty is not the answer. It only will worsen the problem because it will cause more people to come here illegally with the hope of someday having their status adjusted. Amnesty is allowing people whose first act in America was an illegal act to get right with the law without leaving the country. Allowing twelve million illegal aliens to stay in our country instead of leaving and coming back legally is amnesty, no matter if fines or back taxes are paid, or how it is otherwise dressed-up or spun by its proponents. The only way to deal with these twelve million people is to insist that they leave the country and come back legally if they have a job awaiting them.

Tsk, tsk, Mike. You're being so disingenuous that you have to come up with your own, new, created-from-whole-cloth definition of amnesty in order to even be able to call it "not an amnesty." Shame on you! This is more than an amnesty, it's an amnesty plus benefit! Simply because an illegal alien leaves the nation for what amounts to nothing more than a vacation, it should never absolve him of the crimes of illegal entry, illegal presence, identity theft, social security fraud, tax evasion, etc.

Would you also propose a program that gives me absolution-by-vacation were I to not pay my taxes, steal someone's identity and break numerous other laws? How serious a nation would ever let me go bask on a beach somewhere with my trusty laptop and while there, via email, notify the IRS, the FBI and my local police of my crimes and by doing so be immune to punishment upon my return? Do you have such a weak connection to the importance of the rule of law that you're willing to set this sort of precedent? Mike, I'm ashamed of you.

Step Three: Enact a no amnesty guest worker program using private-sector firms

Therefore, the solution is to set up a system that will encourage illegal aliens to self-deport and come back legally as guest workers. Private worker placement agencies that we could call "Ellis Island Centers" will be licensed by the federal government to match willing guest workers with jobs in America that employers cannot fill with American workers.

Mike. You want to put into law codification that there are "jobs that Americans won't do." That's sick.

U.S. employers will engage the private agencies and request guest workers. In a matter of days, the private agencies will match guest workers with jobs, perform health screenings, fingerprinting, provide the appropriate information to the FBI and Homeland Security so that a background check can be performed and provide the guest worker with a visa granted by the State Department. The visa will be issued only outside of the United States.

Yesterday you kept emphasizing the term "private sector" over and over and over. Your inflection started me thinking what this actually means: You don't ever want anyone to consider that this "private sector" part of your plan will actually, by necessity, involve the hiring of Mexican citizens by American firms to do the certification work and health screenings. Your plan interjects people into the process who live in a culture in which "la mordida" bribery is standard operating procedure. You might as well give the job of "certifying" that our borders are secure to the same outsourcers; they'd be just as reliable.

And you want Mexican doctors to certify the health status of people who are leaving? Think about that for a minute. Please.

The process that I just described to you will only take a matter of one week, or less. That is the beauty of the program. Speed is so important. No employer in America wants to lose employees for an extended amount of time. No worker who is earning money to feed and clothe a family can afford to be off the job for long.

Yeah, Mike. The faster the better. The bribed feel more comfort when those who paid it are gone quickly.

But, an employer faced with a looming requirement to verify the legality of its employees and stiff fines for employing illegal aliens will be willing to use a quick system to obtain legal employees. And, an illegal alien currently employed in America will be willing to take a quick trip across the border to come back outside of the shadows and into a job where he does not fear a raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Yes Mike, illegal aliens would be less afraid of having to pony up la mordida to the Mexican workers at Ellis Island centers to get legit than of getting caught by immigration law enforcement. And your point is?

Imagine for a moment asking millions of people to line up at the U.S. Consulate in Mexico City to obtain a visa to come to America and work as a guest worker. It would be a disaster. Now, imagine private companies competing against each other to process guest worker applicants and match the applicants with open jobs. Imagine the application of American business ingenuity to this process. That, my friends, is why this program will work.

Imagine Mexicans running the show to decide who gets amnesty from their crimes and, eventually, American citizenship; that is, imagine it beyond the influence Mexicans already have on our processes through their insidious consular offices and massive illegal presence.

-Limited number of guest worker visas
The number of guest workers will be limited. After the program is up and running, there will be a period of three years when the market and the needs of U.S. employers will set the limit on the number of guest workers. Not letting the market and the needs of employers govern the number of guest workers initially will prevent illegal aliens from being willing to self-deport. After three years of the program, a reasonable limit on the number of W Visas will be determined by the Department of Labor based on employment statistics, employer needs and other research. After the three-year window has closed, this limit will be strictly enforced.

Three years without any limits on the 5 billion people in the world who might like to come take advantage of us is a long freaking time, Mike.

-Limited time to be a guest worker in America
There also will be a limit on the amount of time a guest worker can spend in America. Guest workers will be allowed to renew their W Visas, but only for a period of up to six years. At that point, the guest should decide whether to return home or enter the separate process of seeking citizenship. We cannot have people coming to America as permanent guest workers. That is why having a six-year limit is important. It keeps the meaning of the word "guest" in guest worker.

That's not a limit, Mike. That's a renewal that allows even more time for these workers to have anchor babies and import their extended families. Do you expect us to believe that after six years someone will voluntarily deport? Or wouldn't it be more realistic for us to expect they will simply enter your pathway to citizenship regardless of their desire to become Americans? All you want to do is convert someone via amnesty from illegal alien status to guest worker status via la mordida to citizenship for the sake of convenience. Voila! No more illegal aliens! No more guest workers! Millons of new "citizens" who don't give a darned about my nation! What a concept!

-English proficiency required for first renewal
In order to receive their first renewal, guest workers will be required to study English and pass an English proficiency class. If America is willing to invite you to come and work, I believe that after two years of working here, the guest worker should be willing and able to speak basic English. They also will be required to pass an updated background check. We are not going to allow criminals to come and work in America.

Mike, this is so non-sequitur it astounds me! What you actually would have them do is pay for the English courses, but there is no guarantee that they will actually have to do a thing. The cottage industry that crops up to serve this "market" is sure to be honest, above board and concerned entirely with results, right? What a gut buster! Your "we are not going to allow criminals to come and work in America" line takes the cake because what your whole plan is designed to do is to allow those who have committed crimes to come and work...not just work...but to stay here forever and bring their extended families: Just like the Senate bill.

-Secure identification cards
The W Visas themselves will be issued in the form of secure wallet-sized cards, similar to the cards described and endorsed by the President. Employers will swipe them to verify the guest worker's eligibility. Border patrol agents will swipe the cards to confirm the guest worker is allowed to enter the country. The card will contain information about the job the guest worker is coming to perform, and it will contain personal and biometric information so that the guest worker can be tracked. If a guest worker is fired, convicted of a crime, or just disappears, the card will be cancelled, preventing another employer from hiring the person.

Kissing the President's butt is unbecoming, Mike.

-U.S. employers must attempt to hire American workers
Before going to a placement agency with a job, U.S. employers must try to hire American workers. They will have to attest their efforts to the agency. Believe me, this is a tough requirement that will protect the American worker because people will be watching and checking-out employers.

Believe you? What on earth have you written to this point that would ever lead me to do that?

Step Four: Strict employer enforcement

With a guest worker program in place, there is no reason why an employer ever should hire or continue to employ an illegal alien. Employers who choose to operate outside of the system, however, must face tough fines in order to be made to comply. That is what the enforcement system and the new fine structure will do.

The strict employer enforcement contained in the House-passed bill is contained in my bill. It sets forth a nationwide electronic employment verification system through which employers will verify the legality of each prospective and current employee. As a final incentive, my bill requires that in order to hire a guest worker, the employer must be a participant in the employment verification system.

Reason? Reason? The very first employers to hire illegal aliens didn't have a reason. They merely had and decided to act on a preference for cheap and more compliant labor. Then others who probably had some scruples at some point in their lives were forced to break the same laws in order to compete. The "jobs that Americans won't do" myth was started simply to make these unethical and immoral scofflaws feel better about themselves.

Conclusion: We can do this

I believe the Border Integrity and Immigration Reform Act is a solution that conservatives can embrace. I believe this legislation is a solution that those opposing amnesty can embrace. I believe this proposal offers a solution that those calling for humane treatment of the illegal aliens in our midst can embrace. And, I believe that this solution is one the American people can embrace. This is the real rational middle ground.

Mike, what Bizzaro world do you live in?

Illegal Alien Issue in a Nutshell

Just go read this:

The Senate's immigration plan deserves burial in a very deep grave

If they're truly assimilating, why do Latinos want more Latinos in the US?

And if they really believe that assimilation is vital, why do they want more of any group that presents a diasporic monolith? It seems to me that anyone who truly values this nation's heritage and respects its ancestry, whether their attachment is genetic or adopted, would have a problem with a continual flow of single-source newcomers in numbers that can only result in diasporization and societal cleft.

I've been going around and around about the immigration issue over at RedState quite a bit lately. The other day, I spent a bit of time going through the comment threads of those who seemed to disagree with me the most. My findings: Most of those who's hackles are raised to the point of being offended by my desire not to have the nation balkanized so that there still is the same basic American Kernel left for Katie and my descendants are those who do not possess an American family narrative. Most of the folks who disagree with me and probably don't like me over at RedState are most likely first through third generation Americans, and based on their handles and commentary they are most likely Latino. It seems to me, only if assimilation remains somehow incomplete into succeeding generations could someone consistently search for reasons and excuses to undermine the rule of law simply to bring in more people with whom they probably are more comfortable. I'm more and more convinced that assimilation has fallen short since the advent of political correctness and our abandoning of immigration policy based on merit and Eurocentrism. It seems to me that Latinos, at least those who express themselves at RedState and others with whom I have argued in the past, do not have a fully-formed understanding of assimilation: They embrace an "assimilation lite" in which veneration of American ancestry is not only minimized, it is mostly rejected. Further, they like to harp on some economist's claims regarding the necessity of more immigrants when there really is no agreement among economists about the subject at all.

I've posed a major confrontation regarding these very thoughts, which thus far has gone without response.

"It might never occur to them that they argue from a point of view that consistently champions and defends their ethnicity and applies their own shared family histories to their ideas about America. This is an observation, not a criticism per se. It's normal - incredibly and predictably human. Because they favor their families (as we would hope) and they are "here," it would be silly to expect Americans who do not share America's core heritage not go through every intellectual contortion thinkable to validate their "American-ness." Their Americanism has been formed, at least in part, through the lens of an alien shared ancestry; it would really be weird if they did not support policies that would serve to strengthen their broader family and ethnicity both juxtaposed to and within American culture. Of course Latino interest groups and their supporters will argue that assimilation is going just fine - they must.

But I'd say the jury's still out.

The fact that Latinos have, very very rapidly, become America's largest minority bloc - which is, let's be honest, a large part of why immigration has become a front-burner issue - does not forecast the erasure of diaspora that occurred with every other ethnic bloc before them. One part of this is due to the fact that within every previous wave of immigrants each ethnic group was relatively small and did not speak the same language as other groups that came during the same periods of mass immigration. Another part of this is due to the degree of "otherness" inherent in the majority of America's recent immigrants as perceived by the majority ethnicity.

Let me explain: This nation is for the very first time experiencing a large, virtually monolithic influx of peoples for whom America's core ethnicity has no historic affinity - none. Every previous mass influx has been of people with whom America's majority had been sharing ideas, skirmishing and trading genes for more than a milennia: there was a deeper "knowing of the others" in the past that can only be said of a miniscule few of our post-1970 immigrants. To argue that Latino assimilation is going just fine is absurd, not because the argument is wrong, but because it is premature, incomplete and lacks any grounds whatsoever for historical comparison.

Former Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis argued in 1915 that the founding fathers believed, and I agree, that for Patriotic assimilation to be complete, there is a necessary veneration for America's ancestors that must be in the heart of everyone, citizen and alien alike. How we get there from where our corrupt elected leaders and patriotically-vacuous business leaders have led us astray I do not know. But I believe we must try, or fall by history's wayside as a nation. And the trying likely needs to start with an end to illegal immigration, a cut in legal immigration and the encouragement of repatriation for every single soul who does not want to sever every intellectual, idealogical and emotional tie to their former homelands.

It all starts with enforcement at the border and in the workplace. And enforcement must not be watered down with new government programs for "guest workers," "temporary workers,""paths to citizenship" or other distractions as a part of some laughably misnomered "comprehensive reform."

If it taught us anything, Simpson-Mazzoli should have taught us this: If Congress leaves any "hook" for corrupting influences to grasp, any plan is certain to fail - with the enforcement part being the first casualty. It is indeed unfortunate that we have allowed ourselves to be hamstrung by the soft Marxism of political correctness; if it keeps us from doing what worked for Eisenhower because the name of his program then might offend some today, we may be too far gone."
