Can You Help America?

Can You Help America?

Are you willing to give five minutes or more of your time to think about a solution to a very costly problem that exists in every State in the Union?

If you listen to Rush Limbaugh on TV or on his radio show, you will hear him discuss how dumb and ineffective Democrats can be. He has been saying that the Democrats are only good at whining about problems, not at fixing problems. Rush says the Republicans are the only party that actually fixes problems. Do you believe this? FreeRepublic.com is overflowing with Republicans isn't it? I propose that the Republican FReepers attempt to find a solution to this major problem and demonstrate to America just how effective Republicans (and FReepers) can be.

In the early 1960s, approximately 62,000 illegal aliens came across the Mexican border, and the INS considered this notable and worthy of action. Now, in the first decade of the 21st Century, hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens enter the United States across the Mexican border each year and the INS declares the problem too big to tackle because nothings stems the tide. Federal immigration laws state that sneaking into America without going through the INS Border Patrol stations is illegal. Hiring an illegal alien is illegal. Sheltering an illegal alien is illegal. And keeping knowledge from law enforcement as to the whereabouts of an illegal alien is illegal. With Agenda 21, the politicians are looking at every way possible to give those who break these laws a pass by granting amnesty and American citizenship to illegal immigrants. Agenda 21 means effectively removing the borders between Mexico and the US. NAFTA just opened our roads to tractor trailers from Mexico. This situation will become much worse.

This problem has been ignored in just about every city and county in America while costing exorbitant amounts of taxpayer dollars, spent on social welfare and the education of illegal aliens. Ignoring this problem also comes with the cost of an increasing crime rate resulting in too many American citizens being victims at the hands of illegal aliens. Governments at all levels, federal, state and local are not protecting America's federal nor State sovereignty,. nor are they protecting American citizens.

Why should you and I support a federal lawbreaker in our State? So an incumbent politician can get reelected with their illegal vote? I don't think so!

Matricula consular identification cards are solid identification of an illegal allien. If you can't show a birth certificate, a Visa or a green card then you are an illegal alien who has broken our immigration laws. They must leave America and reenter within our laws. We shouldn't have to amend our laws to accommidate lawbreakers! What example does that set for those who are attempting to enter America legally? Much more important: What example does this give our children? That breaking the law can be a rewarding act? If our immigration laws carry no penalty for being broken, why should bank robbery, or molesting children be punished? Do we make our laws for them to be ignored by aliens and politicians? Is a vote more precious than our standards and ideals? Our politicians must believe so, judging from their responses.

The words "protect the people" are found in virtually every Oath of Office taken by elected and appointed officials in the US, including the police chiefs, mayors, county sheriffs, state legislators, governors, congressional representatives, and senators. Sadly, not one of these officials on the public dole is taking their Oath of Office seriously when it comes to the issue of illegal immigration.

The Supreme Court of the United States has wisely ruled that the Feds cannot force state, county or city law enforcement officers to enforce federal laws (including immigration laws), and our local and state officials use this as an excuse to turn their heads on the problem of illegal immigration while our communities slide steadily downhill. Government officials continue to demand higher taxes to keep the illegal immigration problems under "control" yet we can only sit back in wonderment as they pay lip service to the problem while actually enacting legislation and policies that encourage people to emigrate to the US illegally with promises of social welfare and education benefits.

Being an American is a primarily a state of mind for all of us - being a proud American is based on the idea of freedom and self-reliance. We are all immigrants from one country or another, and we (or our forebears) became Americans by consciously subscribing to these ideas. We came here legally, we obey the laws and we promote the idea that others obey the laws in the same way. Are we supposed to sit and wait while the political class comes up with the politically correct so-called solutions that fail to keep America strong and our families safe?

How many foreign college students choose each year to stay in America rather than obey the conditions upon which they entered America? How many older vistors choose to stay at the end of their vacations? How many deported criminal aliens return using a different name? How many Muslims are in America illegally studing our open way of life, just waiting for an opportunity to repeat 9/11? I am sure we have illegal aliens from every country in this world enjoying the American lifestyle, helping to bring us down to a third world power. We aren't too far from becoming the country that these people left. The American culture can only absorb so many new residents each year without radical changes. We have passed that number. We must act now before the policical leaders offer them amnesty and permanently defeat our way of life. The time has come to stand up and fight for what we believe in. The Constitution will become wastepaper. The Bill of Rights will become a memory. Our flag will become a symbol of defeat.

If you have listened to Rush, you know the truth of his broadcasts. If you haven't listened to him, here's an opportunity for you to show how good FReeper Republicans can be at finding solutions to our nationwide illegal immigration problems.

So tell us, what should be done to fix the problems of illegal immigration in your community?

#1. Should we acquiesce and allow the illegal immigration to continue while waiting for the elected officials to address the problem in a substantive way?

#2. Should we wait for Federal legislators to compromise our security and way of life by resolving the problem in a manner that is politically correct and acceptable to every nation in the world?

#3. If we continue to send snail mail and email letters to your local and State leaders. Will the roar be ever loud enough to be heard in the highest offices? What will their response be? Submition to illegal immigrants who want to change America forever?

#4. Should we wait until you fly off the handle and lash out at an illegal alien, surely resulting in legal problems that will further harm your family and ruin your life's ambition to be a good and loyal American citizen?

#5. Should you ignore the illegal immigration problem and hope it will go away before it gets much worse?

What should YOU do?
What should WE do?

It is time to stand together to correct this problem. You are the leader in your family. Your kids look to you to protect them. If you don't help us now, will your children be able to look at you with pride or shame in five years. It's your freedom and your way of life that is up for grabs.

It's your choice, you decide what to do before it is too late.

The new way of life

Regarding your post, training might be more problematic. Have you ever read Lines and Shadows by Joseph Wambaugh? A pretty good true story about, in some ways, what we are talking about here...JFK

You are correct in everything you say except one thing. 15,000 of those 15,000 will be terrorist sympathizers. Well , maybe 14,999 but you get the point.

I don't know exactly what you find wrong with #210 but Powell is bad news. He doesn't even want to get Sadam. The guy is a milktoast of a politician. Not anywhere near Secretary of State material. He is there for the same reasons we will not solve the immegration issues ; because the American people are ignorant.
In the heady times after the Gulf War ( before we realized how much we screwed up ) he was very popular. That popularity stuck wisely because he distenced himself from politics at the time and therefore wrongly didn't become tained with the air of defeat.
Powell is consistently wrong.

The job description of Secretary of State will answer those questions.

The job description of Head of state, answers a few more.

The democrats have been trying to drive a wedge into the administration since they took control.This is poitics in the raw form. In my opinion, the Adminisration is doing a excellent job on all counts.

It is the Congress that makes law and policy regarding immigration. The Justice Dept., Border Patrol and others enforce those laws. The Dept. of State tries to smooth ruffled feathers and tries to avoid probable conflicts, using the people it has and the policies of the administration.

I do not understand, just what it is that you expect from Powell?

He has done everything the president has asked him to do, and he serves at his pleasure.

As long as we have our current corrupt government paid for by businesses that seriously profit from the illegal labor, NOTHING can be done. Nothing. Stop illegals today, tomorrow they will be back. They get free welfare, medical, education, and jobs that pay five times more than they would make in Mexico. Businesses get CHEAP labor, even if it isn't any good, it is good enough to make profit.

Not one business has said no to illegal labor. The INS could care les, as long as that person pays taxes.

To our corrupt and dishonest government, it believes that a poor citizen is a controllable one. The wealthier we are they more the government hates us.

No matter who gets elected, they get absorbed into the system. The system, itself, is corrupt to its core. It has absolute power, and many powers it should not, and is not supposed to have.

Over time, the government has usurped powers from We the People. We need to take back those powers, or else illegal immigration will never be curbed.

I post the following thoughts, for discussion purposes only. It is not meant to inflame or create negative discourse.

The entire western civilized world has one problem in common!

As I study the immigration problem, I try to stand back from it, and view it on a macro level. In doing this, I find some connected issues.

The western white European world, as a group, is growing old. We are not replacing our numbers at a rate that will fund our social programs the the aging population is entitled to by law.

The third world population, is on the other hand, burgeoning with young. They are busting at the seams.

In the view of some, this fact makes immigration a necessity and critical to the future of our society.

The problems on our southern border are related to this. Mexico has a pressure problem, and it bleeds that pressure off in our direction.

The primary problem with this is that we cannot absorb and adjust to this invasion. We cannot continue to take millions of un-educated and un-healthy migrants at the rate we now are. We must be able to screen these people and absorb them at a rate that does not create chaos.

I am sure, that if we put aside petty argument in favor of cogent and factual dialog, we can come to a understanding and some new immigration laws that will benefit those on all sides of this issue.

It must be done.

We need to march en masse on our State Capitols demanding that they enforce the immigration laws or else we will stop paying taxes.

I agree with what you say, but first we need to clean the country out of the illegal aliens who broke our laws. We do not need to gratify anyone who breaks our laws by granting them a Free Pass to stay here. America was built on laws and now is not the time to change that for the benefit of any criminals.

Thanks much for the quick response.

I don't know that we'll win this war to preserve our American Culture and Sovereignty, but we have successfully dragged this issue out into the sunshine.

Sure appreciate your warrior spirit, and the wealth of info and creativity you bring to the battle.

For America.

Absolutely true!

They must go back and come through the hopefully rigorous backround checks to get back in.

This will cause some problems, but if done right, and properly explained, the job will be relatively smooth and effective.

Connie, Replacing the socialist idiots Canada has now would do a lot for North America. Imagine sending home 9/10ths of the lying refugees you are now supporting?
