Remember the media focus last year when the U.S. Senate debated another amnesty for illegal aliens and illegal employers - and was dissuaded by hundreds of thousands of phone calls, faxes and e-mails from outraged Americans screaming "NO MORE AMNESTY!"?


Of course you do. We all do.

Neither are many Americans likely to forget the fact that the media and the two most well-funded presidential candidates are virtually ignoring the border security/ immigration crisis this year. With an elephant in the parlor, the conversation seems to be about the wallpaper.

Using border security, legalization and immigration as campaign topics does not produce unquestioning, pliable, voters.

But not everyone is ignoring the matter.

Led by a tax-exempt organization that receives taxpayer funding, and whose name in English is "the National Council of the Race," the usual suspects for open borders have put up a pro-amnesty attack Web site called "We Can Stop the Hate."

With the typically heavy-handed and convoluted mindlessness of the far left, the goal is to smear anyone who led the American people's successful effort to stop another amnesty last year. All of whom are of course portrayed as bigoted "haters."

The hope is when the next amnesty bill oozes up in Washington, the most effective messengers for sovereignty, security and enthusiastic immigration law enforcement will have been marginalized enough to be

disregarded.

The name on the Web site could easily have been "We Can Stop the Debate."

No one can go far wrong in describing the amnesty-again coalition as that of the radical far-left and the Chamber of Commerce.

Which brings us to the "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" activist-recruiting seminar being held in the Atlanta area today by an organization of business interests calling itself "Immigration Works USA."

Today, of course, is the seventh anniversary of the horror of Sept. 11, 2001.

Something else Americans are not missing: our borders remain unsecured - and it's all about the money.

Sponsored by an assortment of business interests like the American Hotel and Lodging Association, the American Nursery and Landscape Association, the National Association of Homebuilders and, yes, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the stated goals of the organization are crystal clear: "To educate the public about the benefits of immigration and build a mainstream grassroots constituency in favor of an overhaul - business owners and others from across America willing to speak out and demand that it gets done."

This organization could have been named "Taxpayer Subsidized Labor Works for Us."

Understand that regardless of its colossal funding - and political connections that run all the way to the White House - amnesty was defeated last year by the united voice of the American people who know that "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" and an "overhaul" of our immigration laws really means legalization, increased immigration, more workers and lower wages.

You can't envy the job of convincing the public that we need more "willing workers" when the each day's headlines bring more and worse news about record levels of unemployment and government budget cuts for Americans.

It is vital that we all realize that the American elite will never stop trying to open American borders to the free flow of labor.

On controlling immigration and protecting American labor, the founder of the American Federation of Labor, Samuel Gompers, said it very well in 1924: "Every effort to enact immigration legislation must expect to meet a number of hostile forces and, in particular, two hostile forces of considerable strength. One of these is composed of corporation employers who desire to employ physical strength at the lowest possible wage and who prefer a rapidly revolving labor supply at low wages to a regular supply of American wage earners at fair wages. The other is composed of racial groups in the United States who oppose all restrictive legislation because they want the doors left open for an influx of their countrymen regardless of the menace to the people of their adopted country."

With our nation taking in more legal immigration than any other nation in the world - an unreasonable and unsustainable million-plus legal immigrants per year - Americans watching the current presidential campaign should not allow candidates to ignore the border security crisis - or the immigration issue, legal or illegal.

Another thing to remember: On amnesty, the open borders lobby only needs to win once. The American people must prevail in every battle.

ABSOLUTELY TRUE! WHEN WILL AMERICANS WAKE UP TO THIS?

Gee and to think those words of wisdom were said back in 1924.

Which brings us to the "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" activist-recruiting seminar being held in the Atlanta area today by an organization of business interests calling itself "Immigration Works USA."

Today, of course, is the seventh anniversary of the horror of Sept. 11, 2001.

What chutzpah it takes to do this on 9/11. The men who killed our people were recipients of the last amnesty. Hope this backfires on this heinous hate group.

And herein lies the conundrum:

With an Obama administration, open borders is a given situation. He'll throw open the flood gates, give away our Social Security, promote the rebirth of a North American Union; he will continue to give away billions of our tax dollars to countries that hate us, including Mexico, and Socialism will be established as a way of life in the United States.

With a McCain Administration the prospects of Amnesty still looms, or else a Guest Worker program, but there is the knowledge that our borders must remain secure, that our basic freedoms for Americans will remain intact, and billions of dollars would not be sent overseas, but would hopefully be put to work in bringing production and jobs back to America... for American citizens; and Socialism will not rule our government.

Ron Paul has hit the illegal immigration problem squarely on the head of the peg and his solutions would be the most acceptable for all Americans who are wanting to end Illegal Immigration once and for all.

However, we must be cognizant of the fact that at this point in time, it is too late to count on the votes given to a third party runner. Mr. Paul's campaign is an honorable and justifiable one, but the sad truth is that the consciousness of most Americans is going to be focused on the two front-running tickets: Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin. Any vote for another party or candidate at this time would do very little to upset the momentum of votes for the frunt runners and would only take away a vote from one or the other front runner.

So what do we decide to do? It's up to each of us as individuals to decide what we personally feel is best not only for ourselves as individuals, but for our country. More so than ever before in the history of our country, we need to vote analytically and we need to vote logically.

I KNOW! HOW DARE THEY DO THIS ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11! THAT REALLY SUCKS. THERE IS SIMPLY ZERO RESPECT FOR ALL THE INNOCENT AMERICANS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AND ALL THE FAMILIES AFFECTED BY THIS TRAGEDY.
