Mr. Obama- Build Up That Wall!
Jun 26, 2009 Political
Well, Rahm Emmanuel, the president’s Chief of Staff, has conceded that at this time, there are just not the votes to allow the 12 million illegal immigrants to stay and become citizens. Good. No one should get a free pass, and there are people who have been waiting to legally become citizens for years. This process is, I admit, unwieldy and takes an inordinate amount of time, but then, nothing worth having should come too easy. We, as people, tend to value that which is hard won, rather than that which came too easy.
There is also the little problem with the unemployment here, and the fact that no congressman wants to be seen as giving these few jobs to those many illegal aliens- after all, until ACORN registers them, these illegals can’t vote, but our citizens can.
It astounds me that a nation that can put a man on the moon within ten years of the time President Kennedy announced it, cannot seem to complete a wall between Mexico and the United States- a simple wall- a wall that is needed for several reasons.
First, to stop drug smugglers and their cargo. This is a serious problem on the border. Anyone who thinks otherwise should take a walk on the streets of Juarez, or Tijuana- if you dare. The struggle for control of this trade will spill over the border in a big way, and will force people to take the law in their own hands if our government continues to be impotent on this issue.
Second, and equally important, is the smuggling of human cargo- some of the same smugglers do the same thing with people, and then, often hold them hostage until their “ransom” has been paid. In some cases the smugglers, or “coyotes”, as they are known, simply abandon the illegal aliens in the desert to die.
First we need the wall, if for no other reason than to funnel the potential immigrants into a port of entry where they can be identified, and fingerprints taken, and photos- whatever is needed to ensure that these people are who they say they are. The last four police officers that have been killed on the job in Houston, Texas, were killed by illegal aliens. Three of these criminal aliens had been deported several times from both California, and Arizona, and had returned. These are not people you want in society. These people are not a plus for the United States.
That is, quite frankly, astounding, considering the odds- you would think, if the illegal aliens are that peaceful and law- abiding, that the proportion that committed Capital offenses would not be so high. So, control is needed, and needed badly.
“I’m sure the civil libertarians will object to some kind of biometric card — although . . . there’ll be all kinds of protections — but we’re going to have to do it. It’s the only way,” Schumer said. “The American people will never accept immigration reform unless they truly believe their government is committed to ending future illegal immigration.”
By announcing his plans, Schumer, who chairs the Senate’s main immigration subcommittee, ushered in what Obama has signaled will be his next major legislative campaign, after the economic stimulus plan, health care and energy.
Schumer said legislation should secure control of the nation’s borders within a year and require that an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants register with the government and “submit to a rigorous process to convert to legal status” or face immediate deportation. Rejecting the euphemism “undocumented workers,” he said: “Illegal immigration is wrong — plain and simple.”

We not only need a “biometric card”, but we need more cooperation from Mexico regarding the criminals they know about- they need to keep their trash at home. I can pick up any Texas paper, and the Hispanic crime that is reported is three times that of any other race. Do keep in mind that a lot of the crime goes unreported because of fear of being deported, so it would be fairly safe to assume that the rate of crime is at least double that that is reported, perhaps more.
Understand this- I have absolutely no problem with legal immigrants- they are a plus for our society, but they must become legal, and they must go through the process, no matter how tiresome it seems to be. If and when they are legal, they do not need to fear the authorities, and can assimilate into this society the way other generations and other races have done in the past.
To say that this is impossible is in effect saying that the Hispanics of today’s generation are not as smart as their Irish, Polish, Indian, or Asian predecessors were, and thus need the “special” dispensation of amnesty.
I reject this premise- I feel that Hispanics are every bit as intelligent as anyone else, they just need the chance to prove it. Going through the process is a type of trial by fire, so to speak. The process tests your true desire to see this through.
And with the completion of the wall, and addition of foolproof biometric cards, both employers and employees can rest easy knowing that they are legally here and can proceed with their life without looking over their shoulders.
Then they can pursue the American Dream.

You Are The Only Ones That Think Your Kids Are Cute
Apr 18, 2009 Political
Former Rep. Tom Tancredo, long an ardent supporter of Illegal Immigration Enforcement, and advocate for the enforcement of existing laws regarding same, was booed off of the stage during a speech in South Carolina, by protesters who evidently feel that free speech applies only to those with whom they agree. Egged on by liberal professors, these wastes of space, who were evidently never taught manners by their parents, did not allow Mr. Tancredo to make his case about the inherent wrongness of allowing in- state tuition for illegal aliens, when in state students were being turned away.
Now, you might or might not agree with Mr. Tancredo’s speech, but freedom of speech implies that he will at least be allowed to make his case. You are free to agree or disagree, but you are not free to impede his freedoms, and for them to do so sends a strong signal that their parents utterly failed in teaching them anything regarding the Constitution, or common manners, for that matter.
I have, throughout my life had children, been exposed to children of others, and seen how some have been taught right and wrong, and others are more like feral children in their manners and attitude. Unfortunately, the parents of these snot- nosed brats are generally the proudest- one example I witnessed was when a friend’s wife had brought her little Damien (complete with his own little 666) over to show him off. ” Oh, look at him, trying to find himself, isn’t that just the cutest thing?”
At that time, the child in question was trying to drown a puppy in the water tank, and only ceased when I yanked him up by the nape of the neck, whereupon his momma became irate that I had laid hands on her little precious thing.
“Thing” was right- in the years to come, as this brat aged, both the father and mother coddled him, while his behavior grew worse, until they became afraid of him. Eventually, he was arrested for stealing cars, and sent to prison.
I can just imagine how the parents are on pins and needles waiting for him to be released. Before he went away, he had “issues”- and took it out on the sheetrock in their house. I was called on the first couple of times to fix the damage, but they quit asking me when I suggested some tough love. They did not want to hear of it.
And yet, they don’t want to hear how this is really their fault for not parenting as they should have.
These college kids are “acting out”, goaded by many of their professors, who think that acts of civil disobedience are the mark of the coming of age with students. That might be true if they had been taught civil discourse, but like the study of History,(which has been dropped as a requirement in Ivy League schools and minimized in many others), civil discourse and its sister component debate have been eliminated as a part of civilized behavior. And their parents gaze in adoration.
Remember, you have freedom of speech- so does the other side. You also have the freedom to not agree with what someone says.
What you do not have the right to do, is to stifle someone’s free speech. When that is allowed, it might be your free speech that is the next to be silenced. And still the parents gaze in adoration.
This is why the American Nazi Party and the KKK are allowed to parade- there is scant support for their extremist views, but in this country, they have that right. Still, university professors rarely teach this, instead, probably lost in a drug- addled flashback to the sixties, when it was the free love era, and they still had hair, they focus on acting up when there is a speaker or cause they do not agree with, instead of instructing their student on how to argue cogently and peacefully. After all, if you want to counter someone’s argument, you have to hear that argument, or you lose by simply opening your mouth and showing your ignorance. And still the parents gaze in adoration.
Winston Churchill once said, ” If you are twenty, and not a liberal,you have no heart. If you are forty and are not conservative, you have no brains.” This is, or should be, the difference between the children and the parents, in the most basic sense. The one is idealistic and believes that the world is theirs to change. The other knows that some things should not change.
One of the things that should never change is manners, and respect for others- a lack that many children show in their everyday behavior. A lack that their parents are responsible for- now they have raised monsters who cannot act in a civilized society.
And still these clueless parents gaze in idiotic adoration.

San Francisco To Legalize Prostitution?
Oct 21, 2008 Political
The city of San Francisco will be voting on whether to legalize prostitution. OK, technically it would not legalize prostitution it would just keep law enforcement from enforcing the laws sort of like the way they do with regard to illegal aliens.
My question is, isn’t prostitution already legal there? Nancy Pelosi has been whoring herself out to special interests and making big bucks on it. She has been happy to sell herself to the highest bidder and this has been going on for quite some time. It is a family trait inherited from her father, another whoring politician.
The prostitution is gaining legal status all across the party as the Obamessiah himself is whoring out election night. Barry O plans on selling quality seats for election night coverage to the media. Those who don’t pay get blocked standing room only access. And as far as all the donors who gave small amounts (over and over until over the limit) you will be ignored in favor of the big dollar donors. Typical dictator, Socialism for the peasants and riches for Dear Leader.
Yep, prostitution is already legal in San Francisco and within the Democratic Potty.

Obama Would Aid and Abet Terrorists
Oct 18, 2008 Political
The McCain campaign has backed off the William Ayers attacks because the issue gets little ground or attention. Senator Obama has the entire media to protect him and keep him from being vetted or from having to answer tough questions that go to the heart of his honesty and judgment. We actually know more about Joe the Plumber from Ohio in the week since he asked Obama a question than we do about Obama who has been running for nearly two years. One thing the media and Obama cannot deny and that is his ideas would help terrorists intent on attacking this country. Obama is dangerous and his concerns for illegals could allow us to be attacked again:
Who is he looking out for? Is he truly concerned about the middle class in America (obviously not the way he attacked Joe the Plumber for daring to ask a question) or is he concerned with helping illegals?
Driver’s licenses for illegals would allow them to vote (they would automatically be registered under motor voter laws that Obama fought for), they would be able to drive on our streets and apply for taxpayer funded benefits. All this because Obama would allow them to have a license.
Those terrorists who attacked us on 9/11 had driver’s licenses issued in states in our union and they were registered to vote (without the help of Obama’s group Acorn).
Anyone who would give illegals driver’s licenses and allow them to pilfer from taxpayers is not putting the country first.
Obama is not ready to lead.

Illegal Aliens Have a Bad Day
Jan 31, 2008 Immigration
This has to be the greatest story about ILLEGALS to come out in a while. A van load of ILLEGALS ran into the back of a car in Arizona on Tuesday. Now that might not seem like much of a story except the car they hit was owned by the Department of Homeland Security.
The report states that the van was overloaded with people, there were no injuries and all 11 people in the van were turned over to immigration.
If we could just have a bunch more chance meetings like this we might be able to fix the ILLEGAL alien problem in this country.
