Iraq or Mexico: Who Threatens America More?
By
Donald A. Collins
Amidst this divisive and
dangerous conflict in the Middle East,
Pat Buchanan’s website
is running an online poll now :
"Which of the following pose
the greatest threat to the American people?
China,
Iran,
North Korea,
Israel,
Iraq,
France or
Mexico."
My vote: Mexico—as I will
explain.
It is clear to any of us
who have watched this
immigration cancer growing since 1965 that now the
greatest threat to our
way of life, our
democracy and our future is the
immigration invasion. The main thrust of that comes
from Mexico. Thus Mexico symbolizes the greatest threat
to America.
This current illegal alien
problem eats at the heart of our Rule of Law and further
installs the corporate giants who have
bought our Congress for cheap labor as the rulers of
us all. The ethnic lobbies are willing accomplices,
along with the
bleeding heart churches—and, of course, not to be
overlooked, my
Democratic Party, which is about to
push another major amnesty bill toward President
Bush’s waiting arms.
The effect in high
illegal-immigrant states like
California is already obvious. Look at what has
happened to that
once-proud public school system, plus the use of
other tax supported services, along with the gush of
otherwise unneeded development into suburbia!
Most Americans, including
our citizens of Hispanic origin know this is not the way
to go. But neither party has shown the capacity to "take
arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them."
Cruising around America, as I do often, it is clear
that every metro area is overbooked!
This treasonous
capitulation has gone unpunished by the voters due to a
sophisticated public relations campaign by the moneyed
elite to obfuscate this unparalleled phenomenon,
featuring such nonsense as their
pet phrase for amnesty, "comprehensive
immigration reform", which
claims to offer both enforcement and fairness to
those illegal aliens already here, but does neither.
Plus volleys of planted media
sob stories about those poor folks who are
desperately needed because American won’t do the work
that these new slaves will.
The result has been real
hurt for our
poorest and great
windfall profits to those who import illegal slaves.
Imagine the chutzpah of
saying about these illegal aliens, "These good
hardworking people broke the law, but, gee, they need
the jobs and your benefits so they can have a good life
like you." In effect, the ruling elite is
saying: "Feel guilty, you comfortable, racist
Americans!" There are no provisions in any of
the bills that passed
the Senate in the last session that do anything but
open our borders even more widely. (e.g.
S.2611)
We citizen taxpayers have
for years been
literally begging for real reform,
border enforcement and equity under our laws, are in
the majority–you know, the American Middle Class and the
working poor who have gotten poorer and poorer as
this wave of cheap labor washed over us like a tsunami,
wiping out thousands of jobs and reducing wages for
millions of others, so the few at the top could get
their stock options backdated and their wages hyped to
369 times those of their average hourly workers. Of
course,
Middle Class income has been flat for decades.
And now the big push to
open the borders irrevocably and forever with the flood
of immigrants which these other countries,
mostly in Latin America, can’t handle. How stupid or
venial can our top leaders be? Do none of them have
children or grandchildren or care about the future of
this great Republic? They will be remembered as the
ultimate Judases, betraying the last best hope of
civilization for a few more billions they likely will
never live long enough to spend.
What is our last best
hope? Here it is! It would be so exciting to see a band
of national leaders emerge from this pack of legislators
to stop another amnesty, really this Armageddon for
America action by our Congress and a sitting President
who is completely at odds with our future welfare.
Perhaps it is Congressman
Tom Tancredo (R-CO) who has bravely led the fight to
make this issue one of top concern. He can’t do it
alone, but surely there will be others, some already
emerging, such as Congressman
Duncan Hunter (R-CA) and to some extent, Senator
John Kyl (R-AZ) whose Arizona Senate colleague,
John McCain, as been the poster boy for open borders
along with Senator
Ted Kennedy (D-MA). Show that you have more than a
bit of courage, Mr. Kyl!
If there was ever a time
when guts and foresight were required, it is now. It is
easy to brand all of Congress as unable to accomplish
the task of enforcement. There are certainly many
legislators there with the wisdom and backbone, some as
yet perhaps unidentified, but who now see clearly what
is occurring. If they and the stalwarts can
band together to stop this next amnesty and thus
save our Republic from an irredeemable future, they will
emerge as true heroes.
So back to the question
asked by Mr. Buchanan’s web site: Mexico or Iraq? Which
is more dangerous to America’s future?
Isn’t it obvious? Mexico
symbolizes this
new wave of unneeded aliens who are
surging North from all of Latin America and from
other nations as well, some of these aliens bearing us
maximum malice.
To paraphrase the
Marines: "America Needs A Few Good Men And Women"
(in high places) urgently and immediately!
