We the people....

I don't know about you, but I'm beginning to get more than just a little tired of this worthless excuse for a leader. We had a political cartoon in our paper this morning typical of the ill informed voting base we have here.  It portrayed the Arizona governor as hyping the threat of illegal aliens to the rest of the United States.  Let me tell you this, Arizona isn't the only sieve along the border.  We are well aware of the influx of peoples of all nationalities through our portion of the border.  I have seen middle eastern males, Asians,  and all manner of people from Central and South America coming through this gateway.  Let me give you some facts:  Some of these people are coming here to find work.  Many others are running from the law enforcement authorities in their own country of origin.  Mexico has no middle class, and their leaders don't give a rip about anyone who doesn't have lots of money.  The more of this class leaving their country, the better for them.  And lastly, those who would do us harm (terrorists) have easy access through this porous
frontier.

Lie:  We need their cheap labor.  Fact: Their presence here comes with a price tag far greater than any savings we might see in their hourly pay scale.  They bring their families over with them and we must clothe, feed, educate, and provide medical care for them.  They send a good portion of their earnings to family members outside the country because they can subsist on hand outs here.  They also pay not one red cent in taxes, so their hourly income is increased at least one third over legal residents, and U. S. citizens.  Some carry diseases we have eradicated for the most part in our country.  Some are violent criminals and, will in all likelihood, come into contact with our law enforcement officers and prison systems.  This further strains our already bulging legal system.  We must stem the ever increasing tide, and we must do it in a harsh and impressive manner real soon.

I think all border States should ban together and do their own enforcement.  I am not pleased that Texas has not taken on the Federal Government as Arizona has.  We are given half truths (The same kind Eve received from the serpent in the Garden of Eden) by those who would put their own political interests above the best interest of our free nation.  The following cartoon illustrates this admirably:

Can you believe we can't muster enough brave men to put a stop to this kind of double speak and lying?  We are waiting for those in elected office to step up and say enough is enough.  It's not enough for Republicans to act alone.  These are matters of National Security.  Members of both houses must ban together to stop this radical move to take over our national interests.  We must block the nomination of judges to the Supreme Court who have no judicial experience.  The people should nominate judges who have demonstrated their love for this great country, and jurists who will act in accordance with the rule of law outlined in our U. S. Constitution.

Thank you Arizona for taking a stand.  I say it is time for all the States in this United States to stand united under the sovereignty granted by the 10th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution:  Amendment 10; The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, or prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. We can stop this runaway president and his lackeys  and minions by taking action ourselves.

What are the issues?

Today the term "racism" is used by a wide variety of people to divert attention from their bad behavior by labeling those who challenge them.

Racism n. 1. a doctrine or teaching without scientific support that claims to find racial differences in character, intelligence, etc. that asserts the superiority or one race over another or others, and that seeks to maintain the supposed purity of a race or races.  Webster's New World College Dictionary

It is my opinion that there is very little racism present in the functioning population of the United States.  I think it exists in undereducated segments who are agitated by community organizers who make their living by keeping them upset.  The government is a major functionary in keeping people focused on their ethnic and racial differences through a system of inequitable classifications.  Every government form forces citizens (and others) to make a selection from a variety of categories.  Many of us are mixtures of two or more of the categories.  White - many races and ethnic groups are white in physical appearance.  However, the government chooses to further separate the classification into language groups.  Other choices involve separation by surname and physical appearance - Asian-American, African-American, and Native American.    These classifications are all over the map.  Why are they necessary?  Aren't we all Americans?  If we are here legally we are.

All countries have strict immigration laws to control their population numbers.  The only people Arizona is targeting are those who enter the United States "ILLEGALLY" through its border with Mexico.  These illegal aliens are not all of Mexican origin.  Not all are here to obtain work.  The thing they all have in common is they are here "ILLEGALLY".  That makes them criminals my friends.  You are not "racist" if you want to keep criminals out of this country.

I live in an area where a large portion of the population have Spanish surnames.  Most are here legally and they don't want illegals to have a free reign here anymore than the rest of us do.  They understand the strain illegals place on the population.  The only ones who raise a cry of "racism" are those who derive their livelihood from keeping the undereducated illegals and welfare dependent dolts stirred up.  Don't fall for the ploy.  Highlighting criminal behavior and unacceptable social behavior is not racism.  It is being a good citizen and a protector of the beliefs and behaviors that define our free republic.
