ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION - GET 'ER DONE!

Illegal immigration? That says it all for me. Either we are a nation of laws, or we’re some banana republic run for the convenience of the power brokers, and there is no equal justice for all.

Either we have a Constitution, and we abide by it, or we discard it – and anarchists have their way. We enforce according to whoever can jerk the most tears at any given time, or produce the most greenbacks, no matter the source. Buy out, sell out, die out, or stand firm to protect the homeland and all of our citizens equally – that’s our choice, now and forever. Patrick Henry said it before the bullets started to fly in 1776: “Either we all hang together, or we’ll surely all hang separately.”

Some people make light of this problem. We’re just helping these poor folks out, they say. They’re just coming over here for a better life, they say. Bull crap, I say. The guy who kicks down your door and rips off your TV just wants a better life; the kid on the corner selling crack is there for a better life; the one who embezzled from the pension fund wants a better life for himself.

Why should somebody who is willing to steal not only from American citizens but from those who are waiting to immigrate legally, honestly, and to work lawfully within the system, get benefits denied lawabiding American citizens? What is equal and just about that?

If some judge tries to tell you that the burgler in your living room should be let off because he’s already in, are you going to agree? That’s purely crazy. That’s the kind of thinking that has resulted in an increase in breaking and entering – right, guys? Right. It’s time to put an end to this one-way street.

No other country in the world puts up with this kind of illegal action. Mexico definitely enforces their immigration laws. Furthermore, if you pick up the phone in Mexico, you won’t hear a voice telling you to press Uno for Espanish and Dos for English. You won’t hear a similar message in any other country either, and government offices and papers are not in multiple particular languages either.

Say – who puts up the money for all of these advocacy groups for illegal immigrants – these poor folks who have no money? Why do they do that? Can any of you think of 10 good reasons? We can.

There’s a Biblical story about a nation of people who were working on a great project and nearing success. The story is they were building a tower that would reach all the way to Heaven. I believe the suggestion is that God was either fearful or angry at their presumption that they could join Him without going through the established procedure – so to put an immediate stop to their project He struck them with the most effective curse He could devise: the curse of multiple languages. Yep, it was the Tower of Babel incident. And here we are in America – and the babel of multiple languages is once again being heard, with special interest groups pushing for more and more of them. Well, fry them and the horses they rode in on.

Not everybody in America is stupid or tied to vested interests. You people in Congress had better get moving, or you will be moving, and somebody else will be moving in your places.

And speaking about moving: what is Immigration and Naturalization doing about picking up all of those illegal immigrants? We have laws: enforce them. If they can’t do it, arrest them for not doing their jobs. Can’t find them? BS! Try looking at all those demonstrations against the current hard-line anti-illegal immigration bill. There seem to be plenty of them out there. You certainly won’t find law-abiding American citizens lobbying against this bill.

Lobbyists tell you not to “criminalize” illegal immigration. You are not criminalizing illegal immigration; that has already been done. Criminals become criminals by breaking a law. Others become accessories when they help them do so. Congress should see that the laws are enforced, and punish the federal agents who fail to do their jobs.

Liberty and justice for all starts with American citizens. When you deprive us of our rights, in order to protect lawless criminals, you are not defending the Constitution as you are sworn to do: you are joining with the element in society which is sworn to destroy us.

What do we want? We want the toughest illegal immigration bills passed and enforced.

What do we think about the polls? We think that if simple direct questions were asked, you'd know what we really think. But as long as Zogby and the others write twisters, you'll never get any answers except the ones they get paid to produce. Think about it. Look to the Constitution and enforce it. Citizens must be protected; America must be protected. We must hang together, now more than ever. Truth is the answer. Get 'er done!
