- I thought at first they were actually going to be doing something GOOD for a change about Invasion of the Illegal Aliens!

Word is spreading about the possibility of more invasions on U.S. soil, not invasions from foreign armies or contemptuous countries as most would image, but from “invasive species”. Two bills, introduced concurrently in the U.S. House and Senate in January 2003, say they want to “reduce the threat of further invasions” of “nonnative . . . related organisms capable of interbreeding”.
Ranchers, private property owners, businesses, and other groups are just learning about the proposed law, the National Invasive Species Council Act (Invasive Species Act). Still fighting battles over the Endangered Species Act, they see it as just one more Federal control that will replace Americans’ rights and freedoms.
The two bills, H.R.266 and S.536, mirror each other in language and are driven by entirely eastern senators and representatives, with one exception, Rep. Jim Matheson (D) Utah District 2 for Garfield County.
Michigan and Ohio are the predominant forces behind the bills, with a House sponsor of Vernon J. Ehlers (MI) and a Senate sponsor of Michael DeWine (OH). The states also have co-sponsors on both bills, including two senators and a rep from Michigan and a rep from Ohio. Other eastern sponsors are from Maine, Maryland, and Rhode Island.
The Republican sponsored bills actually got their roots from Democratic President William J. Clinton’s Executive Order 13112, signed on February 3, 1999. This order called for a “Council of Departments dealing with invasive species” and assigned duties to Federal agencies and the Council to implement it.
Clinton’s order defines “alien species” as any with “seeds, eggs, spores, or other biological material capable of propagating that species, that is not native to that ecosystem” and ecosystem as “the complex of a community of organisms and its environment.”
According to Tom McDonnell, Director of Natural Resources of the American Sheep Industry Association, in his article Invasive Government, “Because the executive order fails to define domesticated species, most agricultural crop and animal species would clearly fall within the definition of alien. Domesticated pets, many houseplants, and Kentucky bluegrass used in most lawns and golf courses would also be defined as alien species under this executive order. With the administration’s preoccupation with indigenous people, some races of man may also be considered alien.”
McDonnell’s hint of special treatment for indigenous people can be traced back to the United Nations’ (UN) sustainable development plan, Agenda 21, that has directive after directive to protect and plan for the earth’s indigenous tribes. Agenda 21 was a result of the UN’s Convention of Biological Diversity from whence the Wildlands Project also sprung, a radical environmental plan to restore America to pre-Columbus day standards.
Rep. Jim Matheson, the only western co-sponsor of either bill, said in a telephone interview on May 13, 2003, “I support H.R. 266 because we have a problem with invasive species. For example, in Utah we have cheat grass that drives out other native species and then creates a fire hazard when it dries out. It threatens Utah agriculture. This bill also calls for coordination among Federal agencies. They should be speaking with one voice, that's something they should be doing anyway. I don't see it as a broad-based issue. It's one that we need to address."
The invasive species bills are steadily moving ahead through Congress. If passed, they will work simultaneously with their cousin, the Endangered Species Act, which implants species in areas and preserves its habitat. Add the Wildlands Project, designations of core reserves where no humans are allowed, and Agenda 21, the management of human settlements and economies, and America will be “rewilded” just as planned by the world's government, the United Nations.

Too bad we can't use this to keep the Illegal Aliens along the Mexican and Canadian border from coming across. Remember it's all about Borders, Language, and Culture.
It would be the first good thing the THE SPERMINATOR AND THEIF ever did for America.
Sounds like it would incluude domestic animals; sheep, cattle, goats, horses.
It would definitely cover dogs, since they can interbreed with wolf and coyote populations.
