What Bush fails to see at the border

By Ronald F. Maxwell

Published April 6, 2006

Dear President Bush, Perhaps you know me from my work. I wrote and directed the movies "Gettysburg" and "Gods and Generals." Walking Civil War battlefields, soaking up the letters and diaries of that generation, re-creating the world of our ancestors -- all this has given me a deep appreciation for our country. My dad was with the Army Air Corps in North Africa while your dad was in the Pacific. My French mother was liberated in Tunisia and became a lawful immigrant to the United States. For an American, my story is unique and typical at the same time.

You probably don't need to be reminded of the hostility and animus directed your way by most of the Hollywood community. Then again, I'm sure you don't take it personally. After all, they held Ronald Reagan in equal contempt. As one of the very few directors of major motion pictures who sees you in a different light, I implore you to listen seriously to what I have to say.

What is happening on the southern border is unprecedented. Not only in our own history, but in the history of the world. No country at any time anywhere has sustained the influx of tens of millions of foreigners across its borders. A wave of anti-American leftism is sweeping Latin America. A socialist radical may soon be elected as the president of Mexico, a country which officially encourages its emigrants to vote in Mexican elections, urging them to think of themselves as Mexican first and perhaps only.

The above essay is one of the most well reasoned and articulated arguments against illegal immigration I have read. It is written by the man who wrote and directed the movies "Gettysburg" and "Gods and Generals." He is a patriot, and his words ring with truth.

Please your concerns about our broken borders to President Bush and his staff at the White House at:

Bush doesn't "fail to see" anything. He knows full well what he is doing - selling out our country, intentionally.

Does Bush even realize there is a border? He's so far up Fox's rear all he can see his refried beans.

The ultimate cost of this folly will be measured in blood, when we are forced to fight another civil war to reunite this nation.

All because of the greed for dirt cheap illegal alien labor by RINO and 'Rat Quislings.


U.S. Constitution Article 4 Section 4:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,

and shall protect each of them against Invasion;"


Invasion: \In*va"sion\, n. [L. invasio: cf. F. invasion. See Invade.] [1913 Webster]

1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.

Perhaps we can get the democrats to see things our way if we start to hire border guards from the United Arab Emirates?

It's obvious why, but too many Freepers believe that the issue has been ignored for "votes," or "humanitarian reasons," or because the illegals are "too important to the economy."

Put it this way -- I'm reminded of Benedict Arnold, except this is far worse. Arnold wasn't a President.

The upper level pubbies want cheap labor and the upper level dems want cheap votes.

The elites in both parties two decades ago bought in the idea of merging the countries of north america as europe is doing. In europe the thing was to be done legally from the top down. in the USA the thing was to be done illegally from the bottom up with illegals. The quid pro quo would be that europe would include turkey and the North america would include mexico.

Both ideas are really bone headed.

Thanks DogByte for this excellent post. I've never seen any article that better articulates what is at stake. I hope it gets wide readership - especially among the blind politicians who currently run our government.

This is a brilliant piece, and the response will be as arrogant as it has always been: "Pull the lever, sheep - do you want Hillary to be elected?"

I don't know what it is, but as far as I'm concerned, Bush might as well be Mexican when it comes to issues regarding our Southern border.

Sell out, I tell ya.
