We are our own worst enemy.
-------
Isn't it more accurate to say our governments, state and federal, might be our worst enemy? Who is letting them it? Who is not enforcing our borders? Who is deliberately passing more FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS (CAFTA) which will loosen our borders even more? WHO, WHO, WHO? Let's call a spade, a spade. Why is it we do not hear A SINGLE SOLITARY WORD FROM OUR "LEADERSHIP" in Washington?? Who is gagging the entire Congress (excepting Tancredo of course)?

I wonder who paid who to keep Congress quiet?

Are all of our representatives on the take, except
one or two?

Why is my country being given up by my representatives
and why are my representatives showing a white flag of
surrender?

I would like some answers, yet no answers will come
out of Washington, DC., of that comment I'm certain.

You beat me to placing the blame where it belongs....I am not my worst enemy...our "leaders" are. Until we can change the people who are willing to run for office(who some would call "radicals")into people who don't give a rat's ass what the American hating judges, the MSM, the ACLU et al say, and who are willing to tell these people to go 'f themselves AND have not a politically correct bone in their body..we are doomed. If the same old people run year after year, and nobody opposes them, we will have the same old policies and practices running things.

We need to draft some young, agressive Freepers to run for Congress...I know that we have some here that would do fine...Congressman Billybob et al

More and more Americans want to know the answer to this question. Other questions we want the answers to:

WHY ARE OUR BORDERS STILL VIRTUALLY OPEN IN A TIME OF WAR AND TERRORISM?

WHY AREN'T EXISTING IMMIGRATION LAWS BEING STRONGLY ENFORCED IN A TIME OF WAR AND TERRORISM??

SPEAK UP, WASHINGTON!!

Actually, Tancredo has been trying to get a measure passed that would withhold highway funding from states and municipalities who declare themselves sanctuaries while selectively disregarding Federal law. This tactic was extremely successful toward getting seat belt laws passed nationwide in the 1980s.

From: Summary of Amendments Submitted to the Rules Committee on H.R. 3550 - TRANSPORTATION EQUITY ACT: RULE TO PROVIDE FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 3550, AND AMENDMENTS MADE IN ORDER

"Withholds an escalating amount of highway apportionments (starting with 5% in FY06 and capping out at 25% in FY 2010) from those states that have enacted “sanctuary laws”(laws that prohibit states or local government entities or officials from sending to, or receiving from the Department of Homeland Security information regrading an individuals citizenship or immigration status)."

Of course, it was not passed.
