When Liberals Pass a Graveyard or Illegal Immigrants, They See Votes

The wickedly funny and witty political columnist and bestselling author Ann Coulter (or as I call her the blonde bomber) once wrote that when liberals pass by a graveyard, they see potential voters. I would take it further: when liberals see hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens swarming over our unprotected borders, they see potential voters. An added bonus is that these illegal aliens can't speak English and are ripe for indoctrination by the Democrat Party's Hispanic overseers within the "liberal plantation."

Do you think this writer exaggerates? Just look at the recent congressional race in southern California between Bilbray and Busby. Busby, the Democrat candidate, told a room full of llegals that they didn't need "papers" -- meaning identification -- to vote. Thank goodness it was recorded and played on talk radio shows across the nation. Busby lost because she got caught saying what Democrats probably tell illegal aliens all the time.

The debate over illegal immigration has reached fever pitch with most Americans calling for tighter border security and lots more immigration enforcement. A minority of special interest advocates on the left -- some on the right -- oppose the elimination of a revolving door illegal immigration and in fact want fewer restrictions on illegal immigration. The agenda of some Republicans is obvious -- cheap labor. However, what are the motives of the majority of members of the Democrat Party? Why does it appear they are exploiting illegal immigrants, most of whom are Mexican nationals?

Whenever this hot-button issue is discussed on a broadcast or cable news shows, the Democrats always claim the moral high-ground by cloaking their talking points with an air of superior compassion. But beneath that facade of compassion may be a cynical, treacherous goal -- more votes at the expense of people's lives and freedom.

This writer has covered the illegal immigration story and related subjects for a number of years. The suffering of many illegal immigrants is hidden from Americans by a compliant news media who want to show a positive spin on illegal immigrants. You'll rarely, if ever, read a story in the New York Times about criminal aliens who routinely kill, assault, rape and rob American citizens. The Times is too busy working as intelligence agents for Al-Qaeda. You'd be hard-pressed to find a story in the Washington Post about a human trafficking ring running sex slave establishments using children. And when hundreds of illegal aliens were discovered working at military installations and nuclear power plants, where were the reporters from the wire services?

The Democrats, the liberal-wing of the Republican Party, and the mainstream news media bend over backwards to put a happy face on an American underworld filled with misery, brutality, hopelessness, and death.

For instance, in Long Island, New York, a successful businessman was arrested for his harboring of an illegal alien. But it was far more than that: he had the Latino man living in the basement of his mansion and the illegal alien worked as a valet for the man and his family. Then at 6 AM in the morning, the businessman woke the illegal and drove him to the businessman's factory in the Bronx, and the illegal immigrant worked 10 hours a day without compensation. All this immigrant received were three squares and a cot in a basement. No wages. No weekends off. No holidays. No vacations.

This writer recently wrote an article regarding 11 illegal aliens -- men, women and children -- found dead in a railroad boxcar in Iowa. Another article addressed the apprehension and conviction of a human smuggling ring "enforcer" who, in addition to brutalizing women, disposed of the newly born baby of an illegal alien woman who was kept in an apartment and was forced to work in sleazy bars in New Jersey. Still another article involved a gang of kidnappers who abducted illegal immigrants from their smugglers and held them for ransom. These cases are not extraordinary. They are all too commonplace.

Is this what the compassionate liberals have in mind for the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens coming into the United States annually? Even their arguments in support of illegal immigrants smack of racism. They tell Americans that these undocumented aliens take jobs Americans won't take, such as cleaning toilets. In essence they are saying illegal aliens are sub-humans cattled into the United States to perform a function. This is de facto slavery, plain and simple.

The fact of the matter is when liberal-left activists, who've hijacked the Democrat Party, see hordes of illegal aliens crossing the border, they see votes. Or when they see a US prison population of hundreds of thousands of convicts. Potential votes. While they make baseless allegations that Republicans are disenfranchising certain groups of people so they will not vote, the Democrats "enfranchise" illegal aliens who are voting for whomever is busing them to the election polls. And don't fool yourself; illegal aliens are voting. Which is why the Democrat Party opposes states trying to pass legislation that requires voters to display a valid voter ID card.

The American left long ago realized their hopes for raising the standard of living for the world's poor was indeed a hopeless dream. So in their zeal to obtain equality of living standards and fodder for their arrogant attempts at social engineering, they are eagerly trying to replace a European-based population who voluntarily observe birth control, with a Third-World population that does not practice birth control.

While American families will have one or two children, Third-World immigrants will have up to nine or ten kids. This cynical social engineering plan results from their notion that if they can't move us out of power, they'll breed us out of power. In turn, with an enslaved electorate, they can bring about their true goal of a Socialist utopia. A utopia built on the suffering of millions of illegal aliens.

Here from a Cato institute paper is some of the Reagan position on illegal immigration.

Read the whole article about Reagan and immigration

In his farewell address to the nation in January 1989, Reagan beautifully wove his view of free trade and free immigration into his vision of a free society: "I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and heart to get here."

Note in the last sentence Reagan does does not say the person coming through the walls to our city on a hill needs anyones permission ... just the will and the heart to get here. Reagan supported the North American Accord plan that called for the mexican border to be like the canadian border. . That is all Mexicans would need to enter the USA to work would be a Mexican birth cirtificate... Reagan wanted to end the requirement for VISAs. Under Reagans plan any Mexican with a birth certificate could come here and work for as along as he wanted. And if he was approached by immigration officials all he had to do was show his Mexican Birth certificate and he was legal.

We need to note what House Majority Leader Boehner said to the US Chamber of commerce on June 13 and then what Speaker of the House Hastert did on June 16th.

Boehner told the US Chamber of Commerce on June 13 that he had a deal worked out with the Senate and House members that would pass a bill out of the conference committee by July 4th. No one believed Boehner got the Senate to budge, so it must have been a large number of house members who changed sides. And if it was not that house who gave in on illegal immigration, why would Hastert want to prevent the passage of the House bill by refusing to appoint members to the conference committee

So it had to be that Boehner had a deal going that got Republican house members to accept the senate bill.

That means lots of house members had heard from folks back home in favor of illegal immigration. A large number of Republican house members had to change their minds. That is why Hastert had to exercise his power to not appoint anyone to the House - Senate conference committee.

That is also why Hastert is scheduling hearings all over the nation. He needs to garner support for closing the border. He is not likely to get that done.

And when the house passes a new bill next year, it is very likely to be a carbon copy of the Senate bill. If that be the case then there would be no conference committee and Hastert is out of the game.

Pro immigration including illegal immigration has been a Republican policy for 100 years. In the Teddy Roosevelt days it was the Democrats that opposed both legal and illegal immigration. Democrats used the issue in at least 3 presidential campaigns. It never got voter support.

People opposed to illegal immigration are loud and vocal. Those who are in favor of it are quiet and influential.

If you want to stop illegal immigration, you need to learn how to play the game.

The sad thing is conservatives are always telling themselves they are winning right up to the time they finally find out they have lost.
