Amnesty: The Line in the Sand
Self | March 23, 2010 | Art in Idaho

Posted on 03/23/2010 9:17:48 PM PDT by Art in Idaho

Fly on the wall in the Oval Office:

"Well, lets see, with Healthcare passed, that’s 16 % of the economy. Check. GM, check, Banks, check. Isn’t that about 50 percent of the economy? And after we do Amnesty, we’ll be able to pass whatever we want and have a Democrat, uh, er, Socialist Congress and Presidency for 100 years! Hell, I’ll just declare myself President for Life like my buddy Hugo and do away with elections."

You know that’s the Buzz in the Oval Office, especially when Obama meets with Chuck Schumer and Lindsey Graham.

So do we just sit by and watch 30 million illegal-alien felons get Amnesty granted and do nothing? I say we draw the line in the sand and preemptively say if Amnesty is passed, there will be a guaranteed Armed Revolution in this country. Make no mistake, it will be over if Amnesty for illegal aliens is passed. If we wait until after that, we will be overrun. The de facto communist coup d’ tat with have accomplished it’s main goals.

Do you want your Grandchildren’s government to have this definition? Communism: A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people.

Or do you want our country to still be the United States of America, a Constitutional Republic where the US Constitution still reigns supreme along with free market capitalism? Do you want to be remembered as one who did nothing or do you want to be the Paul Revere in your neighborhood? Surrender or Fight! It’s your call.

It’s a documented fact that Amnesty will result in a massive fiscal burden on American taxpayers. Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation, a widely recognized authority on the demography of welfare costs did an analysis of the net fiscal impact (benefits received minus taxes paid) of low-skill households (those lacking a high school diploma, including legal and illegal immigrant households) to the U.S. taxpayer. Rector has calculated that on average, once they become eligible, (10 to 13 years after they receive their green card) they will receive over $30,000 in benefits annually and pay approximately $9,000 in taxes. Thus, their net annual cost to U.S. taxpayers is nearly $21,000.

While eligibility for means-tested welfare theoretically would have been constrained during the first 10 to 13 years under an amnesty plan such as Hagel-Martinez, each amnesty recipient would have become eligible for welfare during the last 30 to 40 years of their life. Accepting the Census Bureau’s conservative estimate of 11 million illegal aliens currently in this country, Rector concluded that amnesty recipients would impose a likely net cost of $2.6 trillion dollars on American taxpayers. Extrapolating that to 30 million, (some people say 50 million) results in a net cost in the $7 to 8 Trillion area. Can we afford this? Obviously not! Especially on the heels of Socialized Medicine legislation that is going to burden the US Taxpayers with untold trillions in expenditures.

The cost of Amnesty will mainly occur in two non-welfare programs (Social Security and Medicare) and in one means-tested program (Medicaid). Rector’s results are consistent with a 1997 “New Americans Study” by the National Academy of Sciences. If, as some recent studies have indicated, the actual number of illegal aliens in the U.S. is probably closer to the 30 million range, their net lifetime fiscal cost to American taxpayers could be more than double Rector’s estimate of $2.6 trillion. (or double $7 to 8 trillion - $14 to 16 trillion!). A trillion here, a trillion there, and borrowed money to boot! Sheer insanity.

It seems obvious to any thinking American that Amnesty for illegal alien felons would accomplish two things for the Obama Administration: First, it will contribute to the Obama endorsed Cloward-Piven strategy of planned economic destruction of the United States. Second, it will add 30 million new democratic voters and guarantee a socialist federal government for generations to come. Financially and politically, discussion of Amnesty says, “I want to destroy the United States of America.”

Our only option is to notify them ahead of time that a Call to Arms will occur from 200 million Patriotic Citizens on the day Amnesty is seriously proposed by the Obama administration. We shall not give up our Sacred Republic without a fight. Are you in?

"Massive fiscal burden"! They've been that for at least ten years now. With amnesty we'll be just another cesspool country in five years.

And Rector also said that another 60 million or more legal immigrants would be sponsored by those receiving amnesty thru chain migration, i.e., family reunification. If we have an amnesty, America is destroyed with the stroke of a pen. Everything else is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

So that's at least 100 million total. Crunch the numbers and it's, as you say, America is destroyed with the stroke of a pen. Ahh, but Obama is looking to be king after America is destroyed. So is Amnesty our Line in the Sand? The point that we have to rebel, we have no choice?

From my Brother-in-Law today:

President Obama may have railroaded this HC Bill through Congress, but he has definitely underestimated the American people and how they will react to this abuse of power. Obama was never raised as an American, and does not understand what makes up the character and resilency of the average, hard-working, church-going, American citizen! Obama looks at us as sheep who need to be led and told what is good for us. Little does he know about our pride, self-reliance &determination, work ethic, character, integrity & fair play, and devotion to our country and what it was founded on, the Constitution and a Supreme Being. This is to our advantage at this time.

Obama is definitely not our good shepherd. He is almost diametrically & diabolically opposite! He has no inkling of what resistance and reprisals, plus counter-measures await him in the next year! We do not want our lives controlled by Government, and the American people will overcome this Tyranny as was done in 1776. Our country was founded on minimal government interference in our lives, and this has not changed since then. We do not need our country fundamentally transformed into something else!

We are not sheep as Obama considers us, and he will become more aware of this as we take back our country!

Ah, it's so nice to be able to still dream. Sadly, the reality is that this fascist government now is in complete control and have hundreds of millions of government dependents to insure their perpituity (unions and ACORNS included now that they've gotten their fraud relief from having to pay the health benefits they promised their memebrs in order to scam them out of hundreds of millions sent to elect democrats instead of pay promised benefits).

And still no one is building solid working guillotines for the deserving federal scum. Will anyone start when amnesty becomes law with the help of scum like Lindsey Garmnesty and Juan McInsane? ... Not on the affirmative action scammer-in-chief's watch! The Republic is dead. Long live the Republic.

It is for me. It is a matter of national survival.
