Our Sovereignty

Vicente Fox seems to think he has a right to pass approval on our methods of defending our southern border.

He has no right whatsoever, other than to comment on whatever we may choose to do. He has no right, nor even a reasonable expectation, to being invited to review and comment prior to any vote. And frankly, any Senators or Representatives who believe to the contrary are in violation of their oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Vicente Fox has staged what may be the largest invasion in history. And he has done so with minimal expense, and no armaments. That it has been relatively free of violence makes it no more forgivable. Mexico is the aggressor, and Vicente Fox is the leader of the invasion.

It is long past time for our elected politicians to find their spines, and to vote resoundingly in favor of securing our border.

Put the comprehensive plan where it belongs: in the trash. We are being flooded with illegal aliens; tell them to stop the flood, and then indulge in all the debating their twisted hearts desire.

There a few stalwarts in Washington: Johnny Isakson (R- GA) who tried to amend the bill in favor of security first, is one. But Mr. Isakson's amendment was defeated, by a number large enough to make plain that some of our nominal Republicans are confused about this issue.

The polls continue to show that the American people are not confused in the least. Make your voices heard in Washington.

Latter Day ZPG?

The liberals, who in the 1970's began championing zero population growth (ZPG) are now hell-bent on tearing down our borders, with some estimates running as high as 100 million new immigrants in the next 15-20 years. And the ZPG folks were wildly successful, having reached a low of less than replacement level.

Need anyone ask why these folks, with their ZPG, eco-freaking, and open borders have earned from me the name lemmings?

Stupidity, Again...

Yesterday the Senate voted to declare English our national language. They didn't have the courage to put it so plainly, but that would be the net result.

Harry Reid, that most embarrassing of our Senators, has declared that to do so is racist. Harry, of course, is a consumate idiot.

The United States of America is, and has been, a monolinguistic country. The sizable communities of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Hispanics in our country notwithstanding, English is our de facto national language, and always has been. English is the language of commerce in this country, the language of power, and the language of education. Failing to achieve competence in English will leave any immigrant in a second-class position in life here.

Failing to ensure that immigrants understand this reality, and that they achieve competence, if not mastery, of our national language, is the real racism.

Get it right, Harry.

Stupidity on the March!

Despite my normally low opinion of the folks who represent us in Washington, D.C., they have astounded me.

We should all be painfully aware that Social Security is a bankrupt system that continues to operate more from inertia than any other reason. OK, technically it's not bankrupt yet, but really, how many trillions of unfunded liabilities must we be able to show before we acknowledge the truth?

Well, now our good senators have decided that we must accrue benefits in favor of those here illegally, working illegally, and that when they reach the qualifying age, they, too, can be a drain on that system!

Call me crazy, but the Congress-critters seem hell-bent on nothing less than the complete destruction of this country.

I can understand this level of idiocy from the Democrats, but what has brought the nominal Republicans to this pass?

Last night on Brit Hume's show, Charles Krauthammer nailed it. He pointed out that the President's proposed immigration reform is indeed an amnesty, in that it proposes to pardon the crimes of those who have been here illegally, and working illegally. In fact, it doesn't even acknowledge that there have been any crimes.

The liberals have based a good deal of their current heart-bleed on the fact that being here illegally is only a misdemeanor. OK, fair enough. But obtaining false documents is not a misdemeanor, but a felony. So anyone working illegaly is indeed a felon, convicted or not.

Write to your representatives and senators, if they still remember what their constituents are. Let them know, in no uncertain terms, that this madness cannot continue, and that not only will they not get your vote, but you will lobby all your friends against voting for them, as well.
