So, why isn't this guy running for office? He'd get my vote.

[Russell Scott]

I hope George Putnam is reading this. He has been screaming about this problem for over thirty years on Southern California radio. Yes George, go ahead and say it "I told you so!!!!"

[Snerfling]

I take the deterministic view. The problem has already reached critical mass where it is completely self-sustaining ie they have the votes to perpetuate the status quo. If you think it's bad now, just project out another 10 years or so. Arnie is only a stopgap.

18 POINT ACTION PLAN: Border Violators

1) Close all US borders to illegal entry forthwith by any and all means possible, including military presence.

5) Detain all border violators, taking photos, prints and DNA samples of said violator while at the same time, checking for out standing warrants. If no warrants are outstanding, return border violators to home country within 20 days via commercial airline and submit cost of such action, including processing and housing costs for said violator, to country of origin. If costs are not paid within 30 days, reduce any and all aid to said country by a like amount.

Work permitted of such applicants shall be limited to one of several categories, including childcare, lawn/gardening, restaurant staff, cleaning, and the like. Families of GWV workers are not permitted to enter US, nor will the birth of a child to one of GWV status confer citizenship to either parent or child.

Companies shall be subject to fines and penalty that fail to report employment of GWV workers, or hire border violators. GWV workers shall be paid with check, having income tax withheld. GWV workers shall not be subject to unemployment tax because they are not eligible to receive unemployment compensation.

13) GWV workers shall be prohibited for voting in local, state and federal elections.

Outstanding post - thanks for bringing it.

[MissAmericanPie]

He best change his views if he wants to continue to be invited to dinner's at the Vice Presidents house, and asked to give lectures to government entities.

Both parties promote open borders Free Trade to the destruction of American sovereignty while ignoring their duty to protect American citizens from invaders and presenting themselves as a clear and present danger to civilian groups dedicated to "only doing the jobs that the Fed won't do" that ensures us all domestic tranquility and a better life.

Thanks for posting.
Here's a timely related article posted here:

States pay $7.4 billion to educate illegals
Washington Times 8/21/03
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/967750/posts

"California spends an estimated $2.2 billion annually — more than any other state — to educate illegal immigrant children. Texas and New York rank second and third, respectively."

And that's just education. Health, welfare, housing, transportation, police, etc.

And the "Spanish speaking only" crews at hotels, construction, fast food, restaurants, janitorial, canneries, mean that English speaking unemployed American citizens, remain unemployed.
The costs are enormous.

Who's heard of John O’Sullivan ?

Not me; this issue has been brought to the fore by popular thinkers and writers such as Victor Davis Hanson, Micheele Malkin, Peter Brimelow (I remember his article in The Atlantic), as well as cantankerous media such as Michael Savage, and innovative citizens like Glenn Spencer.

The Republican Party had better get in front of his issue and quit being afraid of the race-baiting demagogues on the left.

Gray Davis is going down, in part because of his pandering to this issue, with the resultant ballooning budget in California.

All in all, no one has applied the critical thinking and moral analysis like Hanson.

He is a national treasure for the morally based decondtruction he performs on the multi-cultral leftist fantasies that got us into this mess.

The de facto alliance of the Corporate/Libertarian Right .............


Such as the sniveling little fags in the Cato Institute who propagandize for open borders. My loathing for these smart alecs is bottomless and has been so for years

"its our land anyway", harkens to what will probably become a Kosovo situation. When our glorious immigrants have the numbers they will begin an ethnic cleansing campaign in which low rent thugs threaten and intimidate non-Mexicans on a large scale and the law enforcement officials look the other way or join in on the thuggery. First they will start with poor or working class Americans that live in the country then they will work towards the wealthier soccer mom suburbs. But never worry our GOP stalwarts will at every possible moment remind us that CA and the "Hispanic" vote is still in play.

Great article!!!

[DLfromthedesert]

I used to hear Victor Davis Hanson on Hugh Hewitt's show frequently. I wonder why he wasn't invited on his show to promote this book? Or did I perchance miss it?

[CIBvet]

I saw Victor Davis Hansen, along with a Black, former WSJ reporter now in San Diego and some representative of FAIR(?) in a panel discussion on CSpan this week.

VDHansen is completely articulate and soft-spoken, yet doesn't pull any punches on the issue.

Someone posted a hot-link here on FR to the CSpan video of the panel. SUPERB !!!
