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.

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!

Oh dem RACIST Cherokees

This news item should have some PC heads exploding today. Imagine, a people determining by vote as to whom qualifies for being part of their nation! It's almost as if they would wish to have immigration and citizenship laws or something - and that they be enforced! OMG!

Cherokees vote out slaves' descendants - Yahoo! News

"'The Cherokee people exercised the most basic democratic right, the right to vote,' tribal Principal Chief Chad Smith said. 'Their voice is clear as to who should be citizens of the Cherokee Nation. No one else has the right to make that determination.'"

Seriously, the Cherokees are right. But I'll bet that nobody, even the most mentally-challenged Leftist, has the gall to wage a war of political correctness upon them.

If only so many American citizens were not so wussified...

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.

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!

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?

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.
