Why the illegals must go!
Why the illegals must go!

Today, Americans face an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis facilitated by multi-billion dollar drug and human importing cartels as well as corporations which are inducing the invasion by aiding and abetting illegal aliens and using their influence on the Executive Branch and elections to paralyze existing immigration laws supported by over 80% of the American citizenry.
These events are not random and chaotic. Massive illegal immigration is the result of non-enforcement and under-enforcement of our existing immigration laws.
Supporters of illegal aliens love to claim that our immigration system is broken. The system is not broken. Elite financial and political business interests who could care less about the death and devastation they are causing Americans have sabotaged the system. Their profits continue to rise as they send the rest of America spiraling downward on a path to anarchy and Third World quality-of-life conditions.
By using their influence to suspend our existing laws, these globalist special interests have deprived all Americans of political representation as well as their votes, their voice, and a functioning Republic for which our flag stands.
When the laws of the American people – debated and voted on by their duly-elected Congressional Representatives and signed into law by the President – go intentionally under-enforced by the Executive Branch, all of the principles, sovereignty, and self-governance of Americans are derailed. The will of the American public, the existing laws, the US Constitution, and the borders of our great nation are perceived as market hindrances to the global elite. We the people of America are perceived as peasants and subjects beneath the power of their influence.
The American public has spoken through our lawmakers and in numerous polls. A super majority of Americans want our existing laws enforced, those responsible for illegal immigration fined and/or imprisoned, the borders secured, and illegal aliens deported from the United States for many years or permanently. These fact remain, despite several politicized polls which attempt to manufacture consent and make you believe such views represent a minority.
The truth is that most Americans want the illegal aliens to return to the nations of which they are citizens. The rallying cry is: "Illegals Go Home!"
We could easily list 101 reasons why Americans are upset about illegal immigration. Most are concerned about the 4,000+ preventable deaths of Americans by the criminal acts of illegal aliens on our soil each year. No corporate propaganda will change the fact that most Americans do not want to surrender or capitulate to the lawless masses rushing into our nation.
No poll or politicized source is needed to prove this point because the decision is based upon our nation's successful history and basic common sense. The answer is based on something that every judge, lawmaker, and even street thug knows. The penalties must outweigh the benefits if you want to deter any action.
It is common sense and common practice in America that for any law to be a deterrent, two important factors are in play. First, the laws must be enforced, and second, the penalties for any crime must exceed the benefits to those breaking the law.
It is truly amazing that we find ourselves as a nation having to explain these basic foundations of law to corporations and politicians in the year 2007 despite their existence since the dawn of civilization! Can you imagine what would happen in America if the penalty for robbing a bank was that you had to return half of the money you stole if, and only if, you were apprehended for the crime? What if the penalty for car theft was paying a $2,000 fine if you were caught with the stolen vehicle?
The answers are clear. Within a month, you would not have a bank open in America and you would not be able to keep a car worth more than $2,000 in your driveway for more than a week. How many millions of people would quickly take up the careers of bank robber and car thief once the rewards for the crime were higher than the penalty?
If American businesses and homes left their windows and doors unlocked each night and robbers were merely removed by police when detected – only to try again the next night – what do you think would happen? If big, global businesses practiced the same non-enforcement of security similar to the lack of border security and lack of immigration enforcement they have facilitated for Americans, they would be out of business in a matter of days or weeks. If they left their doors unlocked at night and just pushed people back to the street, America would quickly descend into such chaos and anarchy that we would be unable to sustain a population of 300 million. Our population would take a hit similar to the impact of the Black Plague on Europe, and we would quickly enter a new dark age.
Since illegal aliens can never afford to compensate Americans for what they have taken, they must go. We do not need to go door to door looking for illegals to deport in America. Attrition through enforcement works. Illegal aliens are leaving the states of Georgia and Pennsylvania in droves, not because they are enforcing the laws but because they have simply announced they plan to start!
Unfortunately, the current state of affairs in America has illegals flooding in by the millions each year and many law-abiding Americans fleeing the states of California and Texas and many towns and cities in search of more safety and security. Many Americans are on the run and finding few places left to run to.
The illegal aliens are sending a clear message on the streets of Los Angeles and other major urban centers. They are saying: "This is our land. White, black, and legal Hispanics get out!"
This is great news for the housing and real estate markets, Wal-Mart, and McDonalds. They are growing the economy using rapid population growth. This is great news for big corporations and bad news for Americans.
Attrition through enforcement will work. In fact, if President George Bush were to announce on national television that America would begin securing our borders and enforcing our existing laws in one month, so many illegal aliens would leave America that Mexico would have to set up refuge stations!
Another important reason that the illegal aliens must leave for the long term is that they'll return to their home communities with a message for their neighbors that their ill-gotten gains did not pay off in America. This is the only thing that will stop, or slow, the flow. Deporting illegal aliens and sending them packing is the only real way we can put a stop to this crisis.
The politicians in DC are very aware that Americans want the illegal aliens to go. That is why their latest Scamnesty legislation includes a “touchback” provision. Under these laws, the illegal aliens can hop across the Mexican or Canadian borders where special "Ellis Island" stations are set up for them to pay a fine, receive new documentation and be back in the US within days or hours.
The lunatics advocating this plan are counting on Americans to be so stupid and so gullible that they can say, "Look, the illegals left and walked back in legally. Problem solved!" They are eager to pretend to accommodate the American desires for the illegals to leave while quickly returning their slave labor force to our nation.
They know that Americans want illegals to leave and get behind a long line of legal immigrants waiting to enter the US, including millions of people who have been waiting 5-10 years. These politicians and the illegal aliens need to be shown the way to the back of the line. The back of the line is back in the country in which they are citizens, 5-10 years down the road behind all of the talented and law-abiding people who respect our laws.
If these traitorous corporations and politicians succeed in setting up these Ellis Island stations for “Operation Touchback," the revered symbol of Ellis Island will take on a new meaning that Americans see with contempt and resentment. Ellis Island will become a name associated with the horrendous betrayal of free Americans and the deathblow to the American Republic. This is a symbol of America’s surrender and the subjugation of all her people.
If we allow the politicians in DC to sign off on the many Guest Worker, Temporary Worker, Path to Citizenship, Amnesty, Scamnesty bills written by the US Chamber of Commerce, then no wall with an army on top of it will stop the next 20 million from crashing down on our country. We will have signaled that America is weak and will capitulate and accommodate. Already, the word is out in Central and South America that they can come and stay. Each time President Bush has opened his mouth about such programs, the US Border Patrol reports massive spikes in illegal crossings.
Since there is literally no end to the stream of illegals who want to be in America, this will be the end of America as we have known it and as history has praised it.
In the past, when America has cracked down on illegal immigration and the American people have signaled they want the immigration brakes applied, the policies have worked. New laws written near the turn of the 20th century greatly reduced the amount of immigration into America. When Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower launched large deportation campaigns in the 1950s and 1930s, illegal immigration slowed to minuscule levels as a result.
Whether you agree or disagree with the decisions of the past, these policies were part of the successful formula that have led America to become the most opulent and successful civilization in human history.
While some argue that these enforcement measures were racist and that some American citizens of different races were improperly deported at the time, we now have the technology and methodology in place to assure that American citizens and legal immigrants are not improperly affected by our immigration enforcement efforts.
The difference in 2007 is that the globalist corporations that have hijacked the American government want to stop the American citizenry from applying the brakes this time. They have taken away our ability to determine who can enter our nation and our ability to stop armed and unarmed invasions as granted by the US Constitution.
To take away the self-governance of Americans is to kill the very thing that has made us such a great and successful nation.
In a time of crisis like this, we must stand firm on the principles that have made America an attractive and great nation. We must stand firm on the rule of law. The law must be applied equally to big corporations and illegal aliens alike lest we all become slaves subject to the plans of masters instead of a free and empowered citizenry.
Illegal aliens and corporations must endure penalties for their illegal, deadly, and destructive actions that exceed the benefits they gain from their illegal activities.
The hour is late and it is time for Americans to stand up and say with one voice...
No Amnesty! No Guest Worker! Secure our borders and enforce the existing laws! Restore the American Republic!
The illegals must go.
Illegals go home!

This is why they need to go!
Well another march has reminded the American people how much we need to secure our boarders and completely stop illegal immigration into our country. Not only are these illegals skipping out on paying medical bills; leaving states to pick up the tab and increasing insurance rates; they now are stealing scholarships and grants for American citizens who are in need when going to college. Not to mention we are paying for their education through property taxes in our public schools to boot.
The public school system is nothing to brag about but this hurts it even more when special classes are needed and given to foreigners who can't speak English. Who don't even belong here.
Crime another problem not invited but invaded into our country by drug smugglers;rapists; murderers who run across the boarder to escape justice. Never mind of the human toll of those murdered which never should have happened. When caught they appeal to be deported and when they just don't escape we pay for their jailing. It seems half the prisons are filled with illegal trash. Guess who pays that the illegals or their native country....no us tax paying law abiding fools do.
Now I will say this only and only in one area may we need illegal immigrants. It is solely for farm work. Picking crops that's it. For the rest of the jobs we have many Americans who need them. Not everyone can or will go to college. Not everyone has the aptitude for higher learning but you know what our country should take care of its own. We don't need uneducated unskilled laborers anymore that went out when technology came about. We have American citizens who need work and make a living off of it. I know many friends of mine did it. We have youth here who need jobs and elderly to make ends meet. We had so many jobs that have gone over seas that we have our own skilled labor force scrapping for jobs any job for their families won't starve.
I say only farm work and even that was what poor folks did 70 years ago,they depended on it. But now its filled with illegal immigrants. Perhaps we may need them now; they took it over; so if they must they can have a guest worker program. But its limited. They go back home to their native country and apply and after a certain time they must return and reapply.
No path to citizenship here; you broke our laws and have the gull to demand citizen rights. When we have immigrants from all over the world applying for citizenship waiting 10 years for a reply of yes or no. Most of them have something to contribute; highly educated and they legally applied like everyone before them did. No special treatment. You want citizenship get back at the end of this line and apply and if your lucky maybe; but don't expect much if your unskilled. There is not a large market for it anymore its not the early 1900's or 1800's hundreds no longer.
In the meantime for God's sake let our government listen to its people; the American citizens;
we don't want amnesty for law breakers, we don't want our money spent on housing; feeding and education of illegal immigrants who are taking our social services meant for our countrymen. Build a fence but place more boarder patrol on it, secure it and let it be known that from now on if you enter this country illegally you can never apply for citizenship. As for anchor babies well like everything else times have changed and people taking advantage is a sure sign that laws need to keep up with the times. A new law should be written that if a child is born within the boarders of our country they cannot be US citizens unless their parents are. Lets stop this large exploited loophole. I have no sympathy for people who fly foreign flags refuse to become part of our culture and then demand they want special treatment. This country should learn 1 thing; color; ethnic; racial blindness. Nobody gets a free ride no more, we are all treated the same. No more box checking; who cares. If your qualified you get it, it's simply if you don't well try harder. In the meantime deportation should continue and all illegal immigrants should be kicked out of this country. Those with anchor kids should pack up their kids and go home and raise them in their own country. These children at adult age can then apply for US citizenship. But their ill guided parents never. But when this loophole is closed all illegals must be deported end of story.
It is a global economy now and this country must compete. Well look around car manufacturers are laying off. Large corporations are laying off. Why because we cannot compete with low wages. We don't need foreigners making our pay scale lower in our own country. Never mind the third world health threats that they are bringing. Diseases long rid of are making appearances every health expert knows why.
One last thing not all Spanish are Mexicans or racial or racially mixed many are ethnic; most are in the melting pot; came here legally and don't need to be trashed by this latest groups behavior,who do not represent what most of Spanish descent believe. Most don't want that Hispanic check box; its ridiculous when your blue eyed and light haired. Most have American looking families in 1 generation or not. Yea the first may have that ethnic look but its not bad; they never asked for government aid, some do gooders or low life's scammed that in. So in ending; many of us of Spanish origin want you illegals out too.
Reason WHY NOT to allow ILLEGALS here
My fellow AMERICANS this is what is the most shocking
We as the American citizens have to OBEY the LAW.
ILLEGALS BREAK the LAW.
We have to be law abiding citizens, if not WE AMERICANS have to.
But, some people ILLEGALS can do whatever they want,
burn the US flag
hang the US flag upside down, while the meican flies above the US flag.
Can drive WITHOUT insurance, drivers licences, while law abiding US citizens HAVE TO.
Illegals come over here and break the USA laws, and then run to their country, to hide.
62% of ILLEGALS in the USA are working for cash, and NOT paying TAXES to the US, and WORKING WITHOUT a green card.
( I wonder if I can work and not pay my TAXES, I would be thrown in jail )
95% of warrants for murder in LA alone are for ILLEGALS
( What and Bush wants ILLEGALS here, so then AMERICAN citizens will become a VICTIM of these people. )
83% of warrants are for MURDER in phoenix are ILLEGALS
86% of warrants are for MURDER in Albuquerque are ILLEGALS
75% of the MOST WANTED list are ILLEGALS
97.2% of anchor babies who are born in the USA are from ILLEGALS
66% of all births in California are to ILLEGALS MEXICANS on the Med Cal whose births where Paid by the AMERICAN TAX PAYER
More than half the gang members in LA are ILLEGALS
43% of all food stamps are issued to ILLEGALS, thanks to the AMERICAN TAX PAYER ( But remember they are doing the jobs that AMERICANS dont want)
58% of welfare payments in the USA are given to ILLEGALS thanks to the AMERICAN TAX PAYER. ( they work under the table so they afford the cars they drive)
60% of HUD occupants are given to ILLEGALS
Thanks to the AMERICAN TAXPAYER
11 to 12 BILLION DOLLARS are given to ILLEGALS
( Now there is something wrong, with the government and thabks to Mr Bush who wants ILLEGALS, here to distory America, and the GIVE ME YOU OWE ME ATTITUDE OF ILLEGALS MAKE MY STOMACH TURN, and MR BUSH is their to give them give them.)
No wonder the ILLEGALS want to stay here, the more they want from AMERICA, the MORE the GOvernment and MR BUSH GIVES TO THEM.
Keep fight for America
:x :x :x :x
Businesses Are Turning American Workers into Day Laborers
IF there are any lawyers out there. Isn't there some way we can sue the President and the pro-amnesty politicians for malpractice? Can't they be tried for treason? After all, they are harming the american people and aiding and abetting the violation of immigration law and encouraging the infiltration of terrorists?
Big Business and the Congressmen they have bought by financing their elections are intent upon destroying the American Middle Class and turning the American Workforce into Day Laborers.
First, their bought Congressmen turned their backs on the outsourcing of jobs overseas. Jobs that are needed for American citizens.
Then they get Congress to approve special visas to allow foreign technical workers to come into the U.S., work for less and displace more american workers.
Now they are importing (they even tell the Mexican Coyotes what kind of worker they need and how many and special order them from Mexico) illegal aliens to further replace americans.
I know more than a handful of americans who have to work two and sometimes three jobs to make ends meet in the Washington suburbs. As soon as these illegals are granted amnesty, you will see them losing these jobs.
Since Immigration started recently going after employers who hire illegals, employers have been putting pressure on Congress to hurry up and railroad the american citizen and hurry and push this amnesty and special visa legislation.
Their next step--there has already been talk in Congress about removing the tax break that employers get for paying for their share of their employee's health benefits. I'm sure businesses are eager for this to happen so they can wash their hands and deny the american worker health benefits. Congress's take is that they can use those additional taxes they get from employers (to subsidize illegal aid programs no doubt). The talking heads in the show were then saying that employers would them raise employee's salaries (yeah, I bet!) and that new healthcare provider companies would arise to sell health insurance to the employees. (At a discounted rate no doubt, since these companies would not be in it to turn a profit but do us all a favor. *Sarcastic remark* Pleeeez!)
Already american workers are afraid of taking their accrued vacations for fear of being outsourced or replaced by special visa imported labor. So they no longer have job security. And now, they are going to lose their healthcare benefits on top of having to compete for cheaper labor. So, what's the result. The american worker will be in the same position as the illegal day laborers. They will have to live like cockroaches--20 to a single family home, violating housing and fire codes, etc.
I cannot believe that our Congressmen are that stupid. They know what they are doing. They have become as corrupt, greedy and immoral as the governments these illegals come from. They will destroy the U.S. They won't care, because they will have theirs. America will become the new Third World nation where the rich are filty rich and have everything and where everyone else will be living in poverty, without proper housing and medical care.
Already emergency rooms have had to close down because of the cost of providing healthcare for people who are here illegally and who should be in their home countries demanding their leaders for healthcare. Prince George's County hospital in Prince George's County has gone bankrupt and, as usual, the way government intends to fix the situation is to raise property taxes on americans, many of them retired and on limited incomes.
If you want to see the influx of illegals (Maryland is now a choice state for them) go to any shopping center in Prince George's County. You will see cars with Texas and Arizona (and other border state's) license plates dislodging illegals with their backpacks in the parking lots. Move to my father's neighborhood where illegals, in violation of code, turn single family homes into high-occupancy illegal alien apartment buildings. They also ignore every housing, building, and fire code. They add floors and additions to single-family homes without obtaining building permits or submitting to any building inspections. The add bathrooms and rooms and build right to property lines. Since these houses are now full of tenants who don't have a vested interest in the property, there is trash everywhere and lawns go unmown and fill with rats. There are feral dogs breeding and roaming the neighborhood--no collars, no vaccination tags, unneutered (this is the type of "responsible" pet ownership that is common in Latin American). There are chickens roaming the neighborhood and laying eggs in my father's flower beds. (And here we're worried about avian flu.)
My brother has been involved in two accidents where the fault was that of illegal aliens who fled the scene of the accident. One of them was a drunk Salvadoran (my brother could smell it on the guy's breath from feet away). The drunk fled the scene of the accident before the police arrived. Even though my brother had the license plate and gave it to the police, the police DID NOTHING. The guy's insurance company refused to pay saying it was my brother's word against the piece of crap's word. So my brother was saddled with medical and car repair bills.
In another instance a group of stupid hispanic illegals dropped a bed with the metal frames and wheels in the middle of the Washington Beltway. Two cars were damaged by the rolling bed and it's a miracle nobody got killed. The illegals had stopped on the shoulder--with the hope of recovering the bed, not to provide insurance information. As soon as my brother asked them about insurance and started calling the police on his cell phone, they fled the scene of the accident. My brother reported it to the police, giving them the license plate of the truck that had dropped the bed but, again, they did NOTHING.
In my father's neighborhood these people do not know what the meaning of the word "STOP" on a stop sign means. The same goes for traffic lights.
Front and back yards are turned into parking lots for the numerous cars belonging to the numerous tenants and their commercial work vehicles. At night the streets are so full of parked cars and trucks and vans and oversize commercial and work vehicles that if there is ever a fire, the fire engines will not be able to get through.
These illegals sit out in their front yard (and on my father's lawn) drinking alcohol and making noise until all hours of the night. If you call the police they show up maybe three hours later. They urinate on the sidewalks and worse. At this writing there are about eight bags full of trash that have been sitting on the curb on my father's next door neighbor's house for more than 6 weeks. When one of the tenants move out, they dump the old furniture on the curb and there it sits because they are either too stupid or too lazy to call and have it haul away. The fee my father has to pay the county to collect the trash has gone up dramatically--no doubt because of the excessive trash generated by this alien invasion. That is, if you have the courage to call them because there are so many of these illegal invaders that the few citizens left in the neighborhood are afraid of being attacked. There is MS-13 gang graffitti everywhere.
You pass by some supposedly single-family homes and see 10 cars and 4 satellite dishes.
Now the Health Cost and Risk factor. You see these people in these houses and they bring their many children and their elderly relatives into the U.S., also illegally. Now, since they work "cheap" and don't have benefits, everytime they get sick they show up at the local hospital's emergency room where they have to be treated whether they can pay or not. That raises hospital and health care costs for the american citizen. If we have been talking for years now about America's Healthcare Crisis, why the h*** are we importing millions of illegals and giving them amnesty and thereby encouraging more illegal immigration? Who's going to cover their healthcare? Is it going to come out of Senator Kennedy's private estate? Or President Bush's? Are they so eager to help these illegals that they would be willing to donate their hefty salaries and put themselves on social security like the rest of americans? Or are they just telling the american citizen "let them eat cake" like Marie Antoinette?
Also, if you eat fast food.
If you go overseas the State Department has all these alerts and warnings to travelers about all the vaccinations they need and all the diseases they can catch overseas.
Yet we have all these illegals here working in the food, medical and hotel industries. I went to a fast food place recently where the water was so hot (there was no cold water) that I could not finish washing my hands after going to the bathroom, but had to wipe off the soap with a paper towel. Male customers told me they encountered the same problem in the men's room. There was a sign in both bathrooms reminding employees that they must wash their hands after using the bathroom and before going back to work. So I asked for the manager (who wasn't there) and got the supervisor (who did not understand much english--I had to speak to her in Spanish) and asked her if they had cold water somewhere in the food preparation are so they could wash their hands before going back to work. She informed me that no, that there was NO cold water in the restaurant. That all the water was boiling hot and that this had been going on for over a month. She had been telling the manager (who was, probably also illegally, from Nigeria) that the water was too hot and they could not wash their hands. She thought he didn't listen to her because he was discriminating against her because he was black and all the workers were hispanic. I called the county and they closed the restaurant down. The county inspector informed the manager that he was closing the restaurant because due to the water being too hot employees could not comply with the sanitation regulations of washing their hands before preparing food. The manager from Nigeria then asked if he could at least keep the drive through open!!!!
So we are importing these illegals, without criminal background and health checks and we're putting them in jobs where they could pass on diseases to the american citizens. The restaurant inspector advised me that I should get a Hepatitis vaccine at least because there are not enough employees to keep a constant watch on every restaurant.
Then there was the conversation I overheard between two hispanic women who worked at a supermarket. One of them was telling the other that she was worried about her recently arrived female cousin who has SIDA (aids). Apparently this cousin, who was living with her and her husband and children, had informed her that she was going to sleep with every man she could and infect them with the virus in revenge because a man gave it to her. The woman's main concern was that she suspected that her cousin had seduced her husband.
Tell us again about the man with the incurable, treatment resistant tuberculosis on the airplane. Americans could catch all these diseases anywhere. How do you know the children of these illegals are not spreading these diseases in school to your children?

Dereliction of duty.
I support all the victims of illegal immigrant criminals filing a class action lawsuit. Can you imagine the figures that would be tabulated as the costs? Add it the costs to local governments for these illegals that the Fed allows in, but also prevents the local governments from enforcing the law with (Farmer's Branch)
The Fed can refuse to be sued, but the amassing of the database of costs would be the main point.
I think this article has hit on the real agenda!
This statement appears in the article as a hypothetical situation. I would like to suggest that this situation is not hypothetical at all but hits on the true agenda of those who have allowed illegal immigration to grow out of control.
"America would quickly descend into such chaos and anarchy that we would be unable to sustain a population of 300 million. Our population would take a hit similar to the impact of the Black Plague on Europe, and we would quickly enter a new dark age."
We need to face the fact that this nation has enemies. Some of them are overseas, some are our neighbors, and some are our elected representatives. There is an agenda at work in the illegal reform act. I believe that the agenda is the eventual destruction of the USA.
Illegal don't have any rights
Hi My Name is Mary I am from Canada, My husband is a U.S. Citizen and I have 2 boys, one has moved back to Canada because we couldn't afford to go through the immigration process until I got my process with Immigration complete. My other son right now is going to Gallaudet University in washington D.C. We have been trying to get our voices heard since this whole immigration thing started way back when the illegals started protesting for their "Rights". and I feel that is the reason why we are in this situation that we are in today with all the rising cost of fees, because if they enforce the immigration laws that are in place instead of being more concerned about what the illegal aliens want they would have more than enough money to cover their expenses without having to raise the fees. But they are more concerned about what the illegals want than what the American people deserve. And this whole thing is not fair to the Immigrants that did it the right way by knocking on the door not by climbing over the door. Now we have to pay triple the price to renew while the illegals that broke the law to begin with gets a free ride. They say they cannot round up 12 million plus illegals to deport them so how do they think they are going to round them up to pay a fine, its not going to happen, they will get what they want and we that did it the right way will have to pay the price and its not fair to my kids whom left to go back to canada because we didn't have the money to go through the process, but now I guess they can come in and protest and cry racism to get what they want, I would like to get my voice heard but it seems like the only way a person can get heard is if they are breaking the law to begin with to ask for the rights they don't have, we as immigrants have more right but don't get heard, that's sad.

If you talk to a person from my era, those of us over 50 and 60 years old you will find that we are all like minded and in agreement with President Gheen.
I am afraid however that the younger generations just don't seem to care. To me they seem apathetic about most issues, including politics and unfortunately illegal aliens flooding into our Nation. As long as they have their Ipods, their Plasma TV's and their BMW's they seem oblivious to what is going on in our Nation and in the World.
To them they are either unaware of what is going on outside their circle of comfort or it is somebody elses problem. They just don't know about it or don't care about it as long as it does not affect them personally.
I think in some ways it has to do with the environment in which they grew up. For instance in my case I grew up in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles. There were no (mod edit out) illegal students in my elementary school, junior high school or high school. They just did not live in our school district area. Remember I am talking about 1945 through 1957 when I graduated from high school.
We did not know what grafitti on buildings was nor did we have to walk by apartment buildings or commercial buildings on our way to school, surrounded by iron fences and razor wire. We used to shop at the Sears Store on Santa Monica Blvd. near Western. We never feared for our safety.
Sometime after this, probably in the 1980's things began to change. The high school I went to became predominantly (mod edit out)illegal. Buildings and Freeways started to be covered in grafitti. Iron fences and razor wire started going up around apartments and commercial buildings. The area around the Sears Store on Santa Monica and Western Avenues became more and more (mod edit out) illegal, where today I would guess the (mod edit out) illegal population in that area to be above 70 percent. Today that area has block after block after block of Spanish signs on stores, Spanish music blaring from loudspeakers in front of these stores and hundreds of Spanish speaking street merchants hawking their goods on the sidewalks. Every person you see is a Hispanic man, woman or family and if it is a woman she usually has a number of children with her as she pushes a baby buggy in front of her.
Now if you were born after this all started to happen, and neighborhoods across America started to mimic this area of Hollywood that I have described above, then you do not know anything else. You do not know an America that did not have (mod edit out)illegal ghettos or Barrios as they call them. You did not know an America without graffiti and iron fences and razor wire. You did not know an America that only had English Speaking Radio and Television Stations instead of the thousands of Spanish language stations we have today across America, from Miami to Seattle and from San Diego to New York.
Thus if you are a younger person, under the age of 40 the only America you probably know, from your cognitive years on, is the one I have described above. I like to call this generation the Ipod generation.
If you never knew an America without graffiti; if you never knew an America without iron fences and razor wire; if you never knew an America where every person working in a fast food restaurant or car wash was not (mod edit out) illegal; if you never knew an America where you could turn on the radio and TV and hear your own language and if you never knew an America where you did not have to press one for English and two for Spanish then you do not know what you have missed! It becomes impossible to care for or about something that you never knew in the first place.
For these reasons it is my personal belief that the younger generation of America, the Ipod generation, will not do what is necessary to save America and to prevent America from becoming a third world Spanish speaking nation. I hope that I am wrong. I hope that Americans for Legal Immigration, the Federation for Immigration Reform (F.A.I.R.) and all the other groups that I know are trying to Save America will check their membership demographics and prove me wrong. But so far my own personal experience indicates otherwise.
One last thing. I know that I will be attacked as a racist, a hater of Hispanics for what I said above. But the facts are as I said. There were no (mod edit out) illegals that I can remember in any of my schools or in my neighborhood. I didn't make it so. I did not cause this to be, but it was.
I have no hatred or animosity towards any group. I just want those that come to America to come here legally, learn and speak English, learn American History, want to become American citizens and obey the law. I want an America without grafitti, iron bars, razor wire, and having to press One for English and Two for Spanish.
I'm catching up on posts and Tennisman's caught my attention (as have many others on this board; and I want to give a salute and ask people to read these and remember that this next vote for President and your local politicians are going to mean so much.)
Now that the leaders like Hillary Clinton are openly advocating driver's licenses for illegals, the rest of America has every reason to know what they are getting in her.
The confirmation in the NYTimes that AT&T has been sucking up the entire internet traffic for years, gives pause to start a vindictive slew of comments about this president and this congress's "open borders policies" and should make everyone cringe at not doing anything to leave the status quo just that.
When this story first hit; I used to think, "if i"ve not been doing anything subversive, so let them look at my emails, etc.; but I'm beginning to understand that EVERYTHING has been sucked up by the NSA; and it's still happenining as we speak; if the president had been half as wachful about the illegal immigration issue, we'd have been ahead of wherer we are.
