When It Comes To Illegal Immigration Reform, "NEVA" Trust The Congress!

NOTE: a long article but well worth the read

In any good suspense thriller, the bad guy, after being once seemingly killed by the good guy, inevitably comes back to strike at least one more time before finally being ultimately dispatched and before the movie's closing credits begin to roll. There is now little doubt that the vast majority of Americans vehemently want to see our borders secured and illegal immigration finally and truly curbed once and for all. However, our corrupt and inept Congress, deeply entrenched in the all-too deep pockets of big money and powerfully influential special interest factions, keeps returning with a bloody dagger in its hand for yet attempted another fatal strike at the still vibrantly but precariously beating heart of the American people. In that sense, H.R. 5515, A.K.A.: the "New Employment Verification Act" ("NEVA") courtesy of Congressman Sam Johnson (R-TX), defiantly proclaims, "NEVA say die!" Keep your seats and hang on to your popcorn, folks. The epilogue to this tragic, but suspense-filled saga will likely not be coming to a screen near you any time soon.

In a very worthy and detailed read, William Campenni closely examines and scrutinizes H. R. 5515, or "NEVA," in his May 19th Human Events front page article, "Will Congress Outlaw Local Immigration Controls?". Campenni cites several disturbing endeavors to this euphemistic piece of legislative rubbish that much like the "Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act," and the so-called "Dream Act" is yet another poorly veiled act that caters to illegal immigrants and their various sordid and sometimes shadowy supporters while simultaneously stepping on the backs of the American people. Indeed, deep within the many details of this bill, many devils lie dormant, waiting for, and seeking an opportunity to pounce, while in the meantime, merely patiently lurking, as well as gleefully smirking.

One of the most disturbing of those revelations is Section 101(b)(2)(A), which preempts and bans, as Campenni writes, "...any and all state or local law on immigration-related issues enacted to impose employer fines or sanctions, or would forbid any laws requiring employers to verify work status or identity for work authorization. It would also prevent any unit of government from verifying status of renters, determining eligibility for receipt of benefits, enrollment in school, obtaining a business or other license, or conducting a legal background check."

Anyone picturing Glenn Close resurfacing from a bath tub full of water to spring a surprise attack on Michael Douglas yet? It is now painfully obvious that due to the "fatal attraction" between our bought-and-paid-for, double-talking shysters we naively call "representatives," and the big business, open borders, and minority factions that pull their strings, this situation just won't go away. Furthermore, as with the ending of the classic thriller, "Fatal Attraction," this conclusion, if we ever have any at all, won't be pretty.

By that analogy, I am very willfully advocating outright civil disobedience, but not to the extent I am in any way even suggesting that we kill any member of Congress. All we need to do is just kill their power. I would like very much to tell you to again shut down the Congressional switchboard with a flood of angry calls to kill this insidious bill, as we successfully did with its previous similar predecessors, but the perseverance of the members of the "shallow" halls of Congress and the big money that backs them now dictates our course. It is instead now time to change tactics and stick a finger (figuratively) in somebody's eye. Einstein once supposedly said words to the effect that to continue repeating the same task while expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity. We are now beyond the obviously impotent grassroots activism of killing individual bills, only to see them later resurface under different names, like wild mushrooms with a different color in the same field of manure.

Consider the Texas border town of El Cenizo, Texas, an open hotbed of diluted secession and of sanctioned collusion and sympathy with illegal immigrants in outright defiance of US law. Town business and town meetings are even conducted in Spanish. Consider the various sanctuary cities and states throughout the country. In some of those cases police are told as a matter of policy to not even question the immigration status of suspects. The city of New Haven recently made national news when Mayor John "DeSocialist" DeStefano created municipal ID cards for illegal immigrants to enjoy taxpayer subsidized municipal services and perks. Recently disgraced and former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer proposed granting driver licenses to illegal immigrants. (Given what we now know of Governor Spitzer's proclivities, a safe assumption could be made that the legalization of prostitution was most likely # 2 on the shorter version of his governing "to do" list.) Later in a Democrat presidential debate, New York Senator Hillary Clinton (Speaking of a villain who keeps returning to strike again!) hammered an early nail into her campaign's coffin when she was exposed for flip-flopping on that issue, unlike Republican president-wannabe and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who defiantly defended his continuation of New York's previously existing sanctuary city status during his term. In an example of pure and unadulterated ironic hypocrisy, Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) member, Arizona Senator John McCain said during his presidential campaign that he now finally (and supposedly) "gets it," meaning that the American people want our borders secured and illegal immigration significantly addressed after the driver of the so-called "Straight Talk Express" took a drastic detour, but not before being nationally slapped a couple times for trying to grow and re-grow mushrooms of a different color in the same field of manure. McCain has now so often and correctly been portrayed as an advocate of illegal immigration that his trademark defense has comically been, "It's not amnesty!" Of course not. By the way, I love you, I'll respect you in the morning, I'll call you sometime, and of course, the check is in the mail.

Why aren't some of these people who have been such brazen accomplices in conspiracy to promote and protect illegal immigration, which is a federal crime, in prison? For that matter, wouldn't their very justifiable incarceration even further their illicit cause? What good is the message behind an act of civil disobedience if the dissenter is not publicly punished, and thereby melodramatically martyred for his or her civil disobedience? More importantly, who says that civil disobedience is necessarily a one-way street? If those who advocate for illegal immigration, either openly or by deception ("It's not amnesty!") are not held accountable for their federal crimes, then why can't we get away with it? And why shouldn't we do it? If the law is so apparently meaningless, then let's promote a little pinch of passively sanctioned anarchy from our side of the street as well.

"Anarchy"? Yes, anarchy, and our forefathers said so, too! Speaking of puppets for the North American Union/open border-pushing CFR, President Bush, "HGPIC," ("Head Globalist Puppet In Charge") while simultaneously meeting with his co-conspirators and fellow chief executives from the possibly soon-to-be states of the North American Union, Mexico and Canada, recently and atrociously called the patriotic and peaceful Minute Men "vigilantes" for doing the job that our corrupt, one-world-order-obsessed federal officials refuse to do. Old Tom Jefferson and the boys of 1776 had a slightly different take on that matter. Then again, I have somewhat studied Thomas Jefferson, and George W. Bush is no Thomas Jefferson. Consider this sage little gem from our own Declaration of Independence: "...But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." Now juxtapose that codicil of the Declaration onto the backdrop of Article 4, Section 4 of the US Constitution:" The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion." Even for those who don't consider the millions of illegal immigrants incessantly crossing into our country as "invaders," then consider the fact that at least for Mexicans crossing our border illegally, they are now often doing so under the protective umbrella of rogue Mexican Army troops, who have repeatedly fired upon many agents of our outgunned and undermanned fledgling Border Patrol. Worse yet, in most cases, those trigger-happy federales aren't even so much protecting the "mules" as they are the poisonous but lucrative cargo they so often smuggle onto our soil and into our communities; illegal drugs. And regarding a "republican form of government," that first requires true "representatives," who listen and respond to their constituents. Kind of like what exists in outer space, the current disconnect between Congress and the American people is really more of a "sound barrier." We no longer have a "republican form of government," at least, not below the surface, and certainly not on our borders.

Apparently, Mr. Johnson (You can call him "Congressman" if you wish to, but I rather not!) recognized the good-faith and successful efforts of states like Arizona and Oklahoma, counties like Prince William County (Virginia), and cities like Hazleton (Pennsylvania) and Costa Mesa (California), as Campenni cites (And I would also add to that list the city of Danbury, Connecticut) to do that which the federal government flatly refuses to do. It is thus now incumbent on us to not just defeat H.R. 5515, and to transfer Mr. Johnson and his ilk from the halls of Congress to the lines of unemployment in 2008 as we also did with some of his now former like-minded colleagues in 2006 over the ignored immigration crisis, nor is it enough to just defeat Johnson's hideously anti-American bill of utter treachery, deception and betrayal. The time has now come for decent, brave, patriotic and otherwise law-abiding Americans to follow by the lead of our Declaration of Independence against a cavalierly corrupt and broken federal government that distains the United States Constitution, and flagrantly disregards not only the vastly and repeatedly expressed wishes, but also the very security and sovereignty of the American people in what was once a proud and functioning representative republic. Johnson and his many cohorts who signed this bill have, if nothing else, lost sight of the important fact that in our country, as per design by our Constitution, our federal government is intended to be a limited government, with more power granted downward to our states, counties and cities, and not the other way around. Sam Johnson and his "NEVA" accomplices just collectively dipped their big toe into a small pond of tyranny that still has room and potential to grow if left unchecked by us, the American people, who are still big fish in that still small pond.

Even if "NEVA" passes, may God forbid, the governments of cities, counties and states throughout the country, fueled by the uncompromising fury of the American people, must now openly, and if need be, forever more, defy the federal government's laws that are enacted to violate its own laws against us. More, not, not less city, county and state governments need to enact and enforce their own laws to usurp the federal government's lethargy, dysfunction, and corruption, and above all, to protect the rights, liberty, security and sovereignty of the American people. Then we, the people, must stand up, stick our finger in Uncle Sam's eye and not ask, but rather, dare, "Now...what are you going to do about it?"

In law enforcement, there is an understood institution of the escalated continuum of the application of the use of force when so warranted. A police officer's uniformed presence is the first application of use of force, followed then by verbal commands, then by use of hands, then by and in increasing levels of weaponry issued to the officer's disposal, baton, chemical agent, taser, etc., and finally on up to deadly force by a firearm if necessary. Each increasing level is applied until compliance is achieved and the threat from the perpetrator is neutralized. In a similar fashion, we, the American people have tried unsuccessfully to beat a corrupt Congress and even a corrupt President at their never-ending game. The time is now long over due to ratchet the fight up at least one more notch, or else we will see what is left of our country as we once knew and cherished it soon evaporate before our very eyes. Guys like George W. Bush and Sam Johnson are not part of the solution. They're part of the problem. We have all seen the success achieved by the seditious purveyors of sanctuary cities and states with impunity. It is now time that we, too defy our government and defeat it and its agenda with the very same tactics of its tacitly encouraged subversive minions.

We need to rekindle what sadly seems to be a dormant, if not obsolete American spirit of integrity, independence and true grit. Responding to the decision of the US Supreme Court regarding the Indian Reform Act of 1830, then President Andrew Jackson, reputedly no shrinking violet by any stretch of the imagination, defiantly said of then Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall, "He has made his decision. Now, let him enforce it." Another President, Theodore Roosevelt, once advocated to "Walk softly but carry a big stick." In the present day, the crisis before us will only be conquered if we utilize our big stick, and even then, only if we do so with the hardened resolve of "Old Hickory."
