May Day to Celebrate the Cancer of Illegal Immigration?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The United States in a sense of the word has a "cancer." The word sounds shocking. It is shocking.

AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARY defines the noun “cancer” as "a tumor that tends to invade healthy tissue and spread to new sites." WEBSTER extends the definition generically to "anything bad or harmful that spreads and destroys."

Up to now, the tumor has been benign.

It's time for straight talk. Pablum phrases - such as "Immigration is good for America; America was built by immigrants; It is un-American to think of building walls, only Communists build walls" - must be analyzed.

Taking the last phrase, "Only Communists build walls," reveals nothing more than the ignorance of the speaker. The Berlin Wall was built to restrain, almost imprison, East Berliners, forcing them to live under a brutal dictatorship as intellectual slaves. By contrast, an effective wall along the Mexican Border would keep out unlawful immigrants.

Growing at a rapid rate, the flood of illegal immigrants across our Southern Border is reaching the proportions of an invasion. Too much immigration, too quickly and without proper procedure, is not good for our country.

America's “tumor” is already the size of a “nation” within our nation. At a reported figure of 12 million illegals since the amnesty of 1986, the total, including offspring, by some estimates is now approximating 20 million. This "nation" of perhaps some 20 million undocumented residents within the United States has a population larger than many United Nations member nations.

Many, perhaps most, in this "nation" do not speak our country's language, English. Instead, this "nation," with the help of so many left-wing Americans, is pushing for a bilingual United States.

The immigrants who built the United States wanted to be assimilated into our culture and to adopt our common language as their own. However, the United States is no longer a “melting pot” but a potential pressure cooker.

This "nation," by the way, has an "army" (the real tumor), complete with flag and provocative posters that proclaim: "This is our country; we're taking it back."

This "nation" has selected May 1 of this year to display the power of its "army." Massive demonstrations, reminiscent of Ukraine, Lebanon, Palestine, Iran, Indonesia, etc., are planned in major American cities, particularly in the Southwest. Los Angeles has been promised a march of a million or more.

May 1, not so coincidentally, since 1889 has been Communism’s Labor Day and is much celebrated in many socialist countries. Many of these May Day celebrations no doubt will be played up as support for illegal immigration into the United States.

Over the past few years, America has watched numerous massive demonstrations around the world. We have cheered for other countries as what we believed was the will of the people seeking freedom helped topple governments.

The demonstrations on May 1 are projected to be, and most likely will be, more massive than anything this country has ever witnessed. No benefit should be forthcoming to those who participate. To reward illegal immigrants as a consequence of massive demonstrations would lead to an American mob-ocracy.

America's “tumor” may even turn malignant and erupt into violence. No one is checking backpacks. Does anyone recall the backpack explosion at the Olympics in Atlanta? Crowds are Al Qaeda’s favorite target. Will that type of terrorist seek to take advantage of the May 1 demonstrations?

After May 1, what will the world perceive the United States to be? Will the world understand the people in the street do not represent the United States or U.S. citizens? Will they know these people are not being mistreated at all, or will they perceive America to be the oppressive nation it "pretends" to condemn?

The aid and comfort given to our enemies well could be immeasurable. Television images of the massive demonstrations in this country will be displayed continually on Middle Eastern television, especially on the Qatar station al Jazeera, with rhetoric describing the demonstrations as protests against United States participation in the Iraq War, thus according Al Qaeda a major propaganda advantage. (This, of course, would not be the fault of most of the illegal immigrants who demonstrate on May 1 but it is an almost inevitable consequence which leftists and illegal-immigrant leaders should recognize – another, if unrelated, reason to forego any such massive demonstration.)

Illegal immigration of invasion proportions cannot continue if the United States is to survive. The illegal immigrants lack the ability to conquer America but they do have the capacity to destroy America. Thus, a clear and present danger to the health, welfare and safety of the citizens of the United States exists today.

A national emergency is upon us, which demands immediate and sustained action on the part of the President and Congress of the United States.
