One Reporter's Opinion - Reel in the Big Fish First(Illegal Immigration)

NEWSMAX.COM ^ | 8/27/2004 | George Putnam

[kellynla]

George Putnam, one of the first and longest voices in California against illegal immigration.

Semper Fi, George!

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Exactly. This might be the only realistic plan that could work.

[kellynla]

[Gefreiter]

Sounds good to me.

[kellynla]

Well it certainly is a start!
But you still have to secure the borders.
And until the borders are secured and the illegals are deported(including the incarcerated), there will be no victory in the "war on drugs", the "war on terrorism" and there definitely will be no "homeland security!"

Semper Fi,
Kelly

Putnam is right on the money as usual. Only one problem, the government does not want to enforce any of the laws regarding this epic invasion. But the same government has no problem putting a gun to our heads demanding the tax payers pay for this coast to coast lawlessness.

[Joe Hadenuf]

The way to put a stop to the invasion is the absolute uncompromising enforcement of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act - bring action against persons or businesses that employ illegals thus committing a federal felony with all of its consequences. Nothing could be simpler than that.

Does anyone want to take a guess as to why the Federal Government has not done this?

George has the correct response to that old straw horse "just how do you propose to round up & deport 15 million people?"

[kellynla]

I heard Brit Hume hit Karl Rove over the head about illegal immigration...
I think if we continue to hold W and his administrations' collective feet to the fire maybe they will wake up and smell the coffee...eventually...LOL

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

I truly believe there is a plan to erase our borders with Mexico. We get cheap labor, Mexico doesn't have to deal with its welfare problem. Every mail survey I get conveniently fails to list illegal immigration as a choice in the problems America faces.

The government is doing exactly what it wants, regardless of which political party is in power.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

It would incriminate all the wrong people? I don't know.

[kellynla]

George has the correct response to that old straw horse "just how do you propose to round up & deport 15 million people?"
ten thousand a day for the next four years should just about do it! LOL
But you have to close the barn door first!
If ya don't hire 'em they won't come and those already here will leave or get legal.
But one thing's for sure, the present inaction is not working!!!

[KiloLima]

What a novel idea . . . enforcing immigration law!

[kellynla]

Does anyone want to take a guess as to why the Federal Government has not done this?
Because Americans have not demanded it!...yet
And that's why it is left up to people like us to wake up the sleeping masses to the cost of illegal immigration in not only dollars but homeland security and quality of life for all Americans !

[skeeter]

But one thing's for sure, the present inaction is not working!

If only 'inaction' were the problem. What we have now from government is active encouragement.

If these surveys are also asking for donations (which they are), I send them back at their expense, and write with marker "no donations to any politician or party who favors open borders and illegal immigration - not a cent!"

And for those of you who have not seen the report yet from The Center for Immigration Studies, here is the link:

I think we need to popularize the position that illegal immigration is tolerated by the US in order to provide the safety valve which enables the Mexican elite families to stay in power, and maintain the somewhat stable status quo.

At least that what a lot of these people tell me. Many feel that as long as these families maintain their stranglehold on Mexico with the complicity of our government, nothing will change.

[MamaTexan]

Does anyone want to take a guess as to why the Federal Government has not done this?

They can't. The only power they have is the one enumerated in the Constitution to repel invasion and secure the borders.

Illegals are still people in the common or natural-law sense of the word. Without the creation of the legal entity via a birth certificate from one of the states, government has no jurisdiction and therefore no control until issuance of a visa, green card, or other form of official FEDERAL documentation.

They still persons according to law because they're illegals.

Before anyone yells about tinfoil, answer this-

'States' are defined in the codes as a 'political subdivisions'. A political subdivision is an artificial thing.

So how can a real, live human being be born inside something artificial?
