A national emergency...

[Guest $iLk]

On Aug. 12, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson declared a state of emergency "due to a chaotic situation involving illegal alien smuggling and illegal drug shipments" on his southern border. Three days later, Gov. Janet Napolitano followed suit in Arizona.

Reason: the crisis on the border. The ally-ally-in-free immigration policy of George Bush and Vicente Fox, beloved of corporate America, has created a hell on our southern border.

Those Southwestern states are being inundated by illegal aliens trashing ranches, killing cattle, committing crimes and eating up tax dollars. The traffic in narcotics and human beings from Mexico is a national scandal and a human-rights disgrace.

What is true of New Mexico and Arizona is true of our nation, which is now home to an estimated 10 million to 15 million aliens who have broken our laws and broken into our country. It is a mark of the cowardice of our leaders that they are so terrified of being called "bigots" they tolerate this criminality. The moral rot of political correctness runs deep today in both national parties.

A president like Teddy Roosevelt would have led the Army to the border years ago. And if Fox did not cooperate, T.R. would have gone on to Mexico City. Nor would Ike, who deported all illegal aliens in 1953, have stood still for this being done to the country he had defended in war.

What are these Bush Republicans afraid of? Dirty looks from the help at the country club?

The question of whether America is going to remain one nation, or whether our Southwest will wind up as a giant Kosovo ÔÇô separated by language and loyalty from the rest of America ÔÇô is on the table.

Where is Bush? All wrapped up in the issue of whether women in Najaf will have the same rights in divorce and custody cases as women in Nebraska. His legislative agenda for the fall includes a blanket amnesty for illegals, so they can be exploited by businesses who want to hold wages down as they dump the social costs for their employees ÔÇô health care, schools, courts, cops, prisons ÔÇô onto taxpayers.

Not only have Richardson and Napolitano awakened ÔÇô they are on the front lines ÔÇô so, too, has Hillary Clinton, who has spoken out against illegal immigration with a forthrightness that makes Bush sound like a talking head for La Raza.

Why is a Republican Congress permitting this president to persist in the dereliction of his sworn duty?

George Bush is chief executive of the United States. It is his duty to enforce the laws. Can anyone fairly say he is enforcing the immigration laws? Those laws are clear. People who break in are to be sent back. Yet, more than 10 million have broken in with impunity. Another million attempt to break in every year. Half a million succeed. Border security is homeland security. How, then, can the Department of Homeland Security say America is secure?

Who can guarantee that, of the untold millions of illegals here, and the scores of thousands ordered deported for crimes who have disappeared into our midst, none is a terrorist waiting for orders to blow up a subway or mall and massacre American citizens?

Most of these illegals come to work to send money back to their families. They are not bad people. But because they are predominantly young and male, they commit a disproportionate share of violent crimes.

Why should U.S. citizens be assaulted, robbed, raped and murdered, and have their children molested, because their government will not enforce its own laws?

Is this not an indictment of democracy itself? What dictatorial regime would put up with this?

The Republican Party claims to be a conservative party. But what kind of conservative is it who, to cut a few costs or make a few bucks, will turn his family's home into a neighborhood flop house?

In a recent poll, 40 percent of Mexicans ÔÇô 40 million people ÔÇô said they would like to come to the United States, and 20 percent expressed a willingness to break in. Time to cut the babble about how NAFTA is going to solve the problem. This is a national emergency.

Twice, George Bush has taken an oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Article IV, Section 4 of that Constitution reads, "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion."

Well, we are being invaded, and the president of the United States is not doing his duty to protect the states against that invasion. Some courageous Republican, to get the attention of this White House, should drop into the hopper a bill of impeachment, charging George W. Bush with a conscious refusal to uphold his oath and defend the states of the Union against "invasion."

It may be the only way left to get his attention, before the border vanishes and our beloved country dissolves into MexAmerica, what T.R. called a "polyglot boarding house for the world."

Not just the republicans, also the democrat's to

And Silk, if you going to charge Bush with Impeachment, then you best do the same to Bill Clinton since he damaged the US in more worse ways than Bush

But anyway

I voted him into office because he was the lesser of two evils. But even I'm getting a little tired of all this run around

Our main security breach of the Mexican border, the Canadian border isn't that easy to cross due to the mountains in that region

But still, so far we've been lucky. Between the Patriot Act and the battle's in Iraq/Afgan, the terrorist's have been kept busy. But with this type of threat already in place, it's really only a matter of time before the terrorist's detonate some nuclear size suit cases (which disappeared some time ago)

The thing is, both Partys, (Yes, BOTH! That means Democrats and Republicans alike) want the Mexican vote, despite the fact that it's illegal for them to vote since they don't have civitenship

Easy... the solution:

Put our Troops on the border with order's to shoot to kill anyone who trys to cross the border illegally, that also mean's using the air force as well as the coast guard

I'm not excusing them, but they aren't in control of 2/3 of the government right now.

Clinton was already impeached. I can think of more than one reason to impeach George W. Bush. Fat chance of that happening with the jackasses in the G.O.P. nowadays.

Otherwise I agree with you.

On the issue of the borders, if I may interject, the subject should have been brought up during the latter months of September 2001. Brought up and ACTED UPON. Given the climate of unity, patriotism, and sovereignty (that had an EXTREMELY short shelf-life, I might add), the stage was set for some radical but necessary changes in the border policy.

Things have long since changed back to the status quo, and the first politician to even suggest we close the borders will die a quick political death, killed by a wall of inflammatory rhetoric from political foes and biased media.

The only way it get fixed, in my opinion, is for the unthinkable to happen - another 9/11 style attack, or one even worse. No one tends to listen to the idiotic ACLU when something like that is fresh in the peoples' minds.

Bah, people and their short memories...

I beg to differ. The first politician to pledge closing the borders and runs for President will win*.

*Assuming that's not all they run on. Here's looking at Pat Buchanan.

[John Prezioso]

Buchanan was billed as an extremist by Dole and friends because of his closed border proposal. The media played it up, and even Republicans were ridiculing him as an extremist. The effort to destroy him became job one in the media once he became a legitamate contender for the nomination in '96.

Don't get me wrong; I voted for Pat in the '96 New York Republican primary, when he beat Dole (with the help of Alexander).

I stopped liking Pat when he joined the reform party. I can't respect someone who would throw his lot in with people like that.

On this, I would love it if I were 100% wrong, and you were 100% right. Being wrong is miniscule next to the possibility of having secure borders; I just don't think it's a possibility with today's politically correct and demgoguery-filled Washington.

Here we go again with this Border Crap, this issue has you really riled up. I don't suppose you're Indian American are you?

You know what the funny part is, EVERY state that has a large Immigrant Populations, Illegal or otherwise, also has a booming economy. Follow the money boys, this ones a dead end street.

[John Prezioso]

Darkling:

I think you are taking this too personally. A secure border does NOT mean no immigration - it means we actually KNOW who is entering, and WHAT their purpose is. In the world we live in, how can you say this is a bad thing?

The economy is NOT the issue and thus is irrelevant. The issue is security.

Every place with a large illegal population also has booming gang drug wars, crime, and victimized legal populations.

But I guess it's okay since they are looking for a better life...

THANK YOU!!!!

Thats EXACTLY What I am seeing as well, case in point: Read what is in BOLD at the end of this paragraph

Where as a secure border is BETTER than an open border, many only care about the MONEY that come's from the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. They could careless that this same border could be bring in TERRORISTS and/or those willing to HARM THE UNITED STATES AND IT'S PEOPLE

You DO know what Illegal means right?

il┬Àle┬Àgal

( P ) Pronunciation Key (-lgl) adj.

Prohibited by law.

Prohibited by official rules: an illegal pass in football.

Unacceptable to or not performable by a computer: an illegal operation.

n.

An illegal immigrant.

Now remember that term please. Because these people are not helping America AT ALL, there harming us in ways that you might not even realize

1. The American Language is changing because the policitions don't have the guts to tell these people to assimalate into our culture, we assimalate into THERE culture, so why not into ours?

2. Everyone else is willing to assimalate into our country, Japanese, French, Germen, Italian ... so why not them? Do they think there special? Well, with the way the government treats them I guess they are

This is why I'm a hard believer in putting tanks and troops on our border and shooting to kill ANYONE who trys to enter our country illegally

MY family came into this country LEGALLY, So why shouldn't THEY?

Think on that people... seriously THINK on that

[John Prezioso]

I guess it comes down to doing what is right versus what is convenient.

If I was an immigrant I could blow off the immigration laws and just enter illegally - but I did not do "right". I broke the law.

If I wanted to do "right", I would fill out the necessary forms, wait the necessary time, endure the red tape and slow turning-wheels as applicable, and eventually I would become a US citizen. Yeah, it took WAY longer, but I did it the RIGHT way.

I remember being a kid in the 70's in NY during the energy crisis. I remember my pop having to wait in line at the gas station for almost 3 hours for half a tank of gas. It would have been MUCH more convenient to wait 'til dark, and ciphen gas out from the one of the busses sitting in an unguarded schoolbus yard across from my apartment complex. Who would miss a little gas out of 1 schoolbus? But here was my dad, waiting in line for 3 hours after an 11-hour work day so he could get some gas and be able to continue to get to work.

There's convenient, and there's RIGHT.
