When It Comes to Illegal Aliens, We the People Are FED UP!
By John Lillpop

President Barack Obama
Members of the United States Congress

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

Patriotic Americans all across our great land are flying the American flag upside down this morning, at least metaphorically, to signify that our once great nation is under attack and in severe distress.

At issue is nothing less vital than homeland security, rule of law, American sovereignty, and preservation of American language and culture, all of which are threatened by the latest amnesty legislation that appears to be gaining some acceptance in Washington, D.C.

Although the term amnesty has been carefully avoided, the fact is that the proposed legislation would legalize millions of illegal aliens who have thumbed their noses at U.S. borders and immigration laws for their own selfish purposes.

At a time when our nation’s unemployment rate is headed toward 10 percent and American taxpayers are being drowned in trillions of dollars of debt, what could possibly cause any responsible leader to even consider rewarding 12-38 illiterate peasants with American citizenship?

The proposed amnesty would reward break and enter criminals, while millions of others across the globe are penalized for obeying the law.


President Obama and prominent members of the U.S. Congress are even promising that the new legislation will improve border security and reduce illegal immigration.

With all due respect, simply legalizing illegal behavior hardly qualifies as a credible way to restore rule of law.

Ladies and gentlemen, the latest proposal indicates that either you are not listening or we are not shouting loud enough.

Just to make sure that our views are clearly understood, please be advised that we the people are FED UP with the attempt to undermine American sovereignty, homeland security, and culture.

In short, we the people are:

FED UP with the refusal of the federal government to secure our borders at time of war.

FED UP when armed Mexicans illegally cross our borders and assault Americans, yet our government takes no action, and refuses to even protest.

FED UP when Americans defending the U.S. from drug smuggling illegal aliens are sent to federal prison, while invading criminals are to be forgiven via amnesty for violating our borders and laws.

FED UP with the fact that upwards of 30 million illegal aliens are currently in America, costing taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars every year.

FED UP with a president who orders thousands of young Americans into harm’s way thousands of miles from home, but who refuses to secure America.

FED UP with politicians who refuse to enforce immigration laws and who claim it is “impossibleâ€

Please do not underestimate the dissatisfaction and rage swelling in the hearts of patriotic Americans on this vital issue.

I would agree with this 100%. The Federal Government has NO Idea how Pissed the Normal Everyday Americans are, you hear it in the stores, you hear it in the parking lots, you hear it at the beach ... People are Pissed... Obama and the nutty politicians are going to try and push this during a DEPRESSION with 24 + Million Americans Unemployed or under employed.

Why are people still streaming across our borders .. because Obama and the Democrats keep Flapping their lips of Amnesty and all of the third world wants that monthly welfare and HUD check in the mail .... and I gotta tell you, it doesn't matter how you shake it, bake it, tone it down or give minor punishments and fines. It is not going to go over with the American People.

This will back fire badly for the Democrats, and any Republican that leans toward AMNESTY... mid term election is coming up and you will see something amazing ... I predict a cleaning of the House and Senate and a third party smoker to boot both parties out of power

to give you an Idea how bad it is... I'll vote for a know Illegal Alien before I will vote for ANY Corrupt Politician in Office

that alone ought to Piss Obama off .... neither one will have a US birth certificate to be eligible to run for office

I hope your right airborn sapper. I used to think that we should try to bring the Rep party back to its roots instead of a 3rd party but now Im not so sure. I think the Rep will support amnesty to pander. Maybe a third party is what is needed.

What makes you think a third party is the answer? It just so happens that most third party candidates during the 2008 Presidential elections supported a pathway to legalization for illegal aliens.

Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente, Green candidates for President and Vice President. Both are huge illegal alien advocates and support amnesty.

Bob Barr and Wayne Root, Libertarian candidates for President and Vice President. I don't know Root's position on amnesty but Bob Barr supports a pathway to legalization for illegal aliens.

Chuck Baldwin and Darrel Castle, Constitution Party candidates. This third party was the only one that didn't support amnesty for illegal aliens and they only received 199,314 votes, about .15% of the vote.

Ralph Nadar and Matt Gonzalez, Indepedents. Ralph Nadar - supports a driver's license for illegal aliens and a pathway to legaliation for some.

There will be no knight on a white horse rushing to our rescue. IMO, or best bet is to get rid of the RINOs in the Republican Party. It's a fact that most Republicans in the U.S. Congress do not support amnesty for illegal aliens, whereas the opposite is true of the Democratic Party.

Excerpt from the 2008 Republican Party Platform:

Immigration, National Security, and the Rule of Law

Immigration policy is a national security issue, for which we have one test: Does it serve the national interest? By that standard, Republicans know America can have a strong immigration system without sacrificing the rule of law.

Enforcing the Rule of Law at the Border and Throughout the Nation

Border security is essential to national security. In an age of terrorism, drug cartels, and criminal gangs, allowing millions of unidentified persons to enter and remain in this country poses grave risks to the sovereignty of the United States and the security of its people. We simply must be able to track who is entering and leaving our country.

Our determination to uphold the rule of law begins with more effective enforcement, giving our agents the tools and resources they need to protect our sovereignty, completing the border fence quickly and securing the borders, and employing complementary strategies to secure our ports of entry. Experience shows that enforcement of existing laws is effective in reducing and reversing illegal immigration.

Our commitment to the rule of law means smarter enforcement at the workplace, against illegal workers and lawbreaking employers alike, along with those who practice identity theft and traffic in fraudulent documents. As long as jobs are available in the United States, economic incentives to enter illegally will persist. But we must empower employers so they can know with confidence that those they hire are permitted to work. That means that the E-Verify system—which is an internet-based system that verifies the employment authorization and identity of employees—must be reauthorized. A phased-in requirement that employers use the E-Verify system must be enacted.

The rule of law means guaranteeing to law enforcement the tools and coordination to deport criminal aliens without delay – and correcting court decisions that have made deportation so difficult. It means enforcing the law against those who overstay their visas, rather than letting millions flout the generosity that gave them temporary entry. It means imposing maximum penalties on those who smuggle illegal aliens into the U.S., both for their lawbreaking and for their cruel exploitation. It means requiring cooperation among federal, state and local law enforcement and real consequences, including the denial of federal funds, for self-described sanctuary cities, which stand in open defiance of the federal and state statutes that expressly prohibit such sanctuary policies, and which endanger the lives of U.S. citizens. It does not mean driver's licenses for illegal aliens, nor does it mean that states should be allowed to flout the federal law barring them from giving in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens, nor does it mean that illegal aliens should receive social security benefits, or other public benefits, except as provided by federal law.

We oppose amnesty. The rule of law suffers if government policies encourage or reward illegal activity. The American people's rejection of en masse legalizations is especially appropriate given the federal government's past failures to enforce the law.

Excerpt from the 2008 Democratic Party Platform:

for the millions living here illegally but otherwise playing by the rules, we must require them to come out of the shadows and get right with the law. We support a system that requires undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, pay taxes, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens. They are our neighbors, and we can help them become full tax-paying, law abiding, productive members of our society.

Personally, I think our best bet in the next presidential elections is someone like Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) or Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL). However, Sessions would have a rough road because he does have a few skeletons in his closet. I say let's fix the Republican Party by getting rid of the handful of Republicans that think like Sen. McCain on the immigration issue. IMO, a third party candidate is not a viable option at this point in our history. The percentage of votes received by third party candidates during the last presidential election substantiate my claim. I'm a realist who believes that's a hill that can't be climbed in time to save us from the illegal alien advocates currently sitting in the U.S. Congress.
