A Lesson in Open-Borders Math( Michelle Malkin)
Real Clear Politics ^ | May 02, 2007 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 05/02/2007 5:39:51 AM PDT by kellynla

The New York Times is always ready and willing to serve as lead public relations staffers for the open-borders movement. On May Day, the day of mass illegal alien protests across the country, the paper saw fit to print a front-page sob story decrying rising illegal alien deportations.

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, facing intense political pressure to toughen enforcement [read: do their jobs], removed 221,664 illegal immigrants from the country over the last year," the Times reported ominously. That's "an increase of more than 37,000 -- about 20 percent -- over the year before, according to the agency's tally."

221,664. Big number. It certainly sounds like we're getting serious about immigration enforcement, if you believe what the Times tells you.

But you know better than that. It's what the paper didn't tell you on the day of the pro-amnesty demonstrations that provides the truly alarming news. Far from a nation that takes its immigration laws seriously, we remain in a shoddy, dangerous state of immigration non-enforcement nearly six years after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks -- chaos that will only worsen if Congress and the White House join hands on a "comprehensive" illegal alien amnesty plan.

There is no need for a "comprehensive" illegal alien amnesty plan. What there is a demand for is a POTUS who will enforce the immigration laws ALREADY ON THE BOOKS, securance of BOTH borders and deportation of ALL illegal aliens including the incarcerated.(Why should Americans pay to incarcerated other countries' criminals.) Are you listening Fred Thompson?

If Bush had done these things right after 9/11 when his approval ratings were in the 90's, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today.

11/2008 can't come soon enough for me!

Here's a thought deport the entire family back to mexico, problems solved!

On local news last night, in Plano Texas there is a "day worker" center, (taxpayers money at work in Plano TX) and the person in charge of assigning people to work the jobs just happens to be hispanic and guess who gets all the jobs? So the city manager said he will investigate, right,wink and a nod?

Read the socialist hispanic organizers (who march and demonstrate on socialist day) websites and how they hate the current administration and all Americans! Scary! Gotta love the mexican flag waving...NOT.Shows who they are loyal to, since that is the case they need to take their M flag and go home and support THEIR country.

In March, the Homeland Security Department's inspector general disclosed that the feds have lost track of 623,292 fugitive illegal aliens. These "absconders" were apprehended by immigration officers, placed in the immigration court system, ordered out of the country and released. Never to be seen again.

221,664 "removed" illegal aliens vs. 623,292 released illegal alien fugitives.

This inconvenient truth was glossed over by the Times.


The Bush Open Borders Policy at work. So sorry that I voted for him... he is on a Clintonesque path when it comes to bringing our country to its knees. True, Clinton subverted justice, lied to a federal grand jury, and shoveled military secrets to China in exchange for campaign cash... but Bush is busily working to create the North American Union, tear apart our border enforcement, and regards the Chinese as "partners and strategic allies".

Per the 2006 US House Homeland Security Committee report, up to 10 million illegal and un-inspected entered in year 2005.

At the rate of returning 221,664 per year, it will take 45 years to remove those who entered in 2005.

Then in year 2052 they can start removing those who entered in 2006.

When I saw the rally it wasn’t only about immigration only. It was about communist and Islamic propaganda being disseminated among the crowd under the vale of freedom and diversity. Very smart PR move to tell the truth. That’s why it has Dem and Republican heads spinning.

Che t-shirts, Mexican US war of 1846 hero t-shirts, Islamic fliers and other groups of people who have a chip on their shoulder. The Worker news print was there. Basically all of the groups who will befriend any group that has a grievance with the United States.

It’s funny, communist propaganda being disseminated and fully protected under freedom of speech. Using freedom to take it away. These idiots have no clue what communism is nor have they lived in a real communist state.

This is the beginning of MOB rule. Look at France.

This is exactly the same thing I saw at the Pentagon afterparty on March 17th, the Gathering of Eagles Day.
The World Workers Party and Code Pink were the main groups inciting the young kids to charge the police lines. Every other person was a reporter from around the world. They were practically begging for tear gas and rioting. The Commies use the media to sway the largely “ignorant on Iraq” people who form their opinions based on the 6:30 news programs.

The very big mistake they are making is forgetting that people my age realize what they did to our country during the Vietnam War, and that there is no way in hell that we will allow it again.

GATHERING OF EAGLES MAY 26TH-27TH SEE YOU THERE!

Yup! And, here's another thing the policy makers need to revise........Stop making children of Illegal immigrants, born in the US, automatic citizens. If parents are illegal, then so are they. That's why they do this crap, thinking they won't get sent back cause America will not separate families.

A Family's Painful Split Decision

NEARLY two decades ago, Abel Muñoz, 41, and Zulma Miranda, 37, crossed the border with temporary permits to seek treatment for their infant son. He had been diagnosed with leukemia and died soon after their arrival. By then, Miranda was pregnant again and the couple decided to stay in the United States. Leslie was born in 1990, followed by Marcos three years later and Adilene in 1998.

The judge asked Muñoz if he had considered the possibility of being deported when he decided to have children.

"Well, yes," Muñoz responded.

"And so you knew at some point you might face the possibility of your children having to be uprooted?" the judge asked.

"Yes," Muñoz said.

YUP!

Our local stations we airing all the sob stories about illegal’s American-born children having to do without the deported parents.

Now who’s fault is this? People like the two mention in your story.

But, another example of how it’s our fault cause we have no sympathy for their plight.

If Amnesty is granted, it will be chamber 12-gauge, pump, BANG. The arms industry will make a killing on this one.
