It is ironic that on Memorial Day, when we honored those who served to defend the American way of life, there is a cabal in Washington, D.C., that seeks to destroy it. In my 50 years of observing politics, this so-called Immigration Reform Bill in Congress is the most egregious affront to our constitution I have ever witnessed.
Our elected representatives no longer represent the American electorate. Because of gerrymandering and other legislative chicanery, the desire of the people is irrelevant. With re-election assured, our members of Congress are free to toady to the paying special interests.
Will Rogers said decades ago that We have the best Congress money can buy. That is true now more than ever, aided and abetted by the academic left that sees nothing special in the American culture. These allied forces are on the verge of insidiously destroying our country.
If this Immigration Bill, as it is horrifically constituted, becomes law, our American way of life is doomed. All that countless Americans have fought and died for will be destroyed, not in a cataclysmic blast as the terrorists hope for, but in a slow cultural and economic decline.
Our inundated and overwhelmed schools will no longer be able to teach, and our abysmal educational system will decline further into irrelevance. This may not matter to those in Congress, who are well-heeled enough to enable their families to attend the finest private schools to become well-educated and, hence, competitive in today's world.
The already insolvent Social Security system cannot survive an influx of millions of non-contributing, and uneducated aliens. The result is that the tax burden on the middle class will marginalize even the most productive citizens, since they will be expected to take up the slack for the unproductive. If saving Social Security is our aim, we should be bringing in millions of well-educated, highly-paid people, not the exact opposite.
South of our border, the narco army may already be too powerful for the corrupted Mexican government to control. The violence is now spilling across our own borders as carnage mounts. Thirty-five percent of the U.S. prison population is composed of aliens, and there are hundreds of thousands of un-apprehended felons wandering our streets. (Incidentally, if you read the fine print, the proposed Immigration Bill would, in effect, make them legal! )
Our cities and towns - yes, even Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Lompoc - will gradually slip into anarchy, as local law enforcement is unable to cope. How many gang murders will it take to tip the scales?
The monetary price tag for this Immigration Bill is estimated to be in the trillions, but the cost to the fabric of our nation is incalculable. If you thought our political elites (Democrats and Republicans) lied about the authorization for war in Iraq, that measure pales in comparison to the authorization of an Immigration Bill capable of destroying our republic.
Rational analysis of this Immigration Bill is hard to come by in the media. I do not believe the bill would survive objective scrutiny by the American people. Perhaps that is why those who champion it are trying to rush its passage through Congress, after which it would immediately become the law of the land.
Like the other grand compromise amnesty legislation in years past, rest assured it will be one law that as many as 20 million illegal aliens in this country willingly embrace, even if it means falsifying the scant documentation needed to climb aboard.

WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them.
BTTT
now the Republicans will be lucky if they are elected as Dog”
Guess we should steel ourselves to President Hillary for eight years.
Sure, our cities will be nuked by terrorists, but at least we will have free heath care.

PHONE PHONE PHONE PHONE PHONE
BTTT
“
This “overloaded agency” is now going to process 20 million (to start) illegals. What’s wrong with this picture?”
Sanity??
Kentucky Residents:
Call Mitch McConnel and tell him we don’t want an amnesty Republican representing us. He is still leading the charge on this moronic bill for the president.
It is astonishing how the Congress and WH could go so much against the will of the people, especially when it means the survival of the country as envisioned by the Founding Fathers. Bush and many congressmen will have as their legacy the destruction of the US if this bill passes.
I am overtaxed fiscally, mentally, spiritually, by this invading horde. I want EXTRACTION!
Not least of all from the Congress.
“Still vote republican” What? Hunter, Tancredo yes. Bush? McCain? Graham? The list goes on and on. They’ve broken down the Republican party for Bush’s love affair with slow dancing with mexicans. How about vote conservative. How about vote American.
ust a thought, not a policy.
which is why we need to drive a stake thru the heart of this infamy

Anyone complainging on this thread who hasn’t called their Senators and US Reps has no business being here.
Call them! Call them again. Call Lott. Call McConnell. Call those fighting this and encourage them (e.g. Senator Sessions).
There has never been a time like now to remain vigilante. I see this as the single biggest issue we have faced as a nation in a long time—and that includes the War on Terror.
And on top of that, we need to elect a President who is going to be on our side on this issue. We need a voice on high to threaten Congress. It’s far too easy for them to ignore us now.
Toady is a fitting word for it.
Off topic - sort of- but MUST READING is this piece in today’s Washington Times about the real story behind the dry run at the airport last year:

Keep in mind- these are the people who will be implementing “border security” should this horrific bill become law..
