Thoughts about Memorial Day, Patiotism and the Immigration Crisis

By Mike Cutler MCutler007@aol.com

Hi Gang:

As most of you know, I generally write commentaries that are based on a news article. This weekend, I have decided to write a commentary based on the simple fact that this weekend we remember and commemorate the sacrifices of countless American soldiers from all of the armed services who gave their lives in battles all over the globe beginning with the Revolutionary War and continuing until this very day in Iraq, Afghanistan and other locations around the world to insure the survival of our nation and the freedoms that we have come to take, all too often, for granted.

I have often said that computers, talk radio and telephones have made nationwide town hall meetings possible. If we are to consider our ability to communicate by computer as a component of a town hall meeting, then I would ask how many of you who are reading this commentary would consider themselves to be "Liberals" or "Conservatives?" How many might be "Pro-Life" or "Pro-Choice?" How many of you would be happy to eliminate our nation's borders and permit criminals, terrorists and those who would otherwise violate our laws unfettered access to our country? How many of you would want to provide official identity documents to millions of undocumented aliens who are unable to prove their true identities? How many would want to enable still more illegal aliens to be encouraged to enter our country in violation of law to do the jobs Americans can no longer afford to do because these illegal aliens are willing to work for far lower wages under worse, indeed, often illegally dangerous conditions? How many of you would be happy to be offered less money by your employers for the work you do because the illegal aliens would be willing to work for much less money? (This is the situation that an increasing number of American workers are finding themselves in because of the massive influx of illegal aliens.)

The point is that while many of us might well disagree about a number of issues I do not know anyone who does not believe that our nation needs secure borders. (Understand that secure borders does not mean closed borders.) I cannot imagine that if any of you own businesses or otherwise deal with cash-paying customers that you would be willing to accept a personal check from someone who was unable to produce official photo identification to prove his identity before you would be willing to accept that check. Yet, this is essentially what the Guest Worker Amnesty program would require our government to do!

The Guest Worker Amnesty program would provide millions of undocumented aliens with a golden opportunity to come out of the "shadows" and in exchange for a fine receive official identity documents that would act as "breeder" documents, enabling them to obtain driver's licenses and Social Security cards that would enable them to open bank accounts, own property and do all sorts of things under a name that these millions of illegal aliens cannot prove is really theirs! That is what the term "Undocumented" means.

George Tenet, the former director of the CIA as well as Robert S. Mueller, the current director of the FBI have both made numerous public statements about their concerns that there are many terror cells in the United States awaiting instructions to carry out an attack against our country. Less than two weeks ago such a cell was uncovered in New Jersey. This was mostly a matter of the terrorists being stupid and a store clerk being alert and notifying the authorities. Had it not been for those two factors, God knows how many of our nation's soldiers at Fort Dix might have been killed. We also know that the terrorists who attacked our nation on September 11, 2001 made ample use of false identities in order to travel freely around our country, across our nation's borders and embed themselves in communities around the United States, hiding in plain sight.

Yet the politicians blithely ignore the obvious while claiming that they are attempting to provide solutions that coincide with the recommendations of the 911 Commission. Former NYC Mayor, Rudolph Giuliani and Senator McCain have even invoked that commission when they advocate a Guest Worker Amnesty program stating that they would provide "Tamper Proof" identity documents for the millions of illegal aliens who are present in the United States today.

The issue that they ignore is what name should be imprinted on those supposedly tamper proof identity cards? They also ignore the simple fact that according to the Senate bill at least 100,000 applications per day would have to be process by USCIS! The image that comes to my mind is the way that newspapers are published. We have all seen how the newspapers rocket along a super high-speed conveyor belt as they are printed and folded. Could you imagine reading more than the headline of those newspapers as they wiz by? This is precisely the way that the adjudicators at USCIS would have to deal with the torrent of applications that would be headed their way each and every day. Meanwhile, USCIS has been shown to be an inept and incompetent agency that does little, if anything to uncover fraud, thereby encouraging more fraud-laden applications to be filed. This represents a direct threat to the security of our nation that our soldiers are fighting so valiantly to defend.

When I say that the crisis of fraud in the immigration benefits program represents a threat to national security, I would ask that you don't just take my word for it, I would ask that you consider what James F. Sensenbrenner, Jr., the former Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee had to say about it when he wrote a press release last year when he commissioned a study by the General Accountability Office to evaluate the situation at USCIS. You can read his press release at:

http://judiciary.house.gov/media/pdfs/gaoimmbenefitsrelease31006.pdf

You can read the actual report at:

http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d06259.pdf

Few candidates [are] willing to honestly address this crisis in meaningful ways. Let me make this as clear as I know how; anyone who advocates for a Guest Worker Amnesty program is advocating for a program that would facilitate the nefarious goals of terrorists and criminals. That is why I have come to refer to the Senate bill as the "Terrorist Assistance and Facilitation Act of 2007." The only thing worse than no security is false security. This bill represents the worst sort of false security I could imagine!

Finally, I want to lay the blame on those who are most responsible for the mess we are in. I blame the great majority of citizens of this great nation for their abject apathy! When only 40% of Americans vote during the so-called mid-term elections the message to the politicians is clear- "We the People" are not paying attention! When all too many citizens admit to not knowing the name of their elected representatives what are they expecting? When even those who do know the names of their politicians admit to never contacting them, the situation is clear, we have given those who work for us and are supposed to represent us enough rope for them to hang us! If we are the employers of these politicians (we are supposed to be)! Then we are doing a lousy job of supervising our employees! Would you tolerate your gardener our your babysitter ignoring your wishes the way that your elected representatives may we be doing? Of course not! Why then are we not making our wishes known to those who hold the destiny of our nation in their hands?

Democracy is not a spectator sport! If you really want to honor our nation's heroes, our men and women upon whom we depend for our freedom and our nation's security, then I would ask you to do more than display "Old Glory" and think you have fulfilled your obligation to display your patriotism and loyalty to our country. I want you to call your elected representatives and make certain that you are persistent in getting them to listen! Our elected representatives cannot represent us if they do not hear from us so that they know what we want. Some of these politicians are extremely bright while others might have a problem walking and chewing gum at the same time! One thing is certain; they cannot read our minds! If your senator or congressional representative is not doing what you want, give that politician a "piece of your mind!" Its the patriotic thing to do (and the country you save just might be our own!)

Lead, follow or get out of the way!

ETL! Bless your heart, Laura Ingraham! ENFORCE THE LAW!

ETL! That has become radio and TV personality Laura Ingraham's call to arms.
"Enforce The Law!", Laura is screaming with America at the United States Senate and Bush Administration to stop the lying about amnesty.

Congressmen are amazed how ticked off we all are. Cong. John Carter of Texas said he got 1000 calls yesterday, all against the Senate bill. Sen. Mitch McConnell stated his constituents were ringing the phones off the hooks and if they learned anything it was that the American people proved they "aren't shy" about voicing what they think of Amnesty.

Senator Bunning of Kentucky said he got 2100 phone calls and that only 100 wanted anything to do with it, and those calls were from a district organized to promote amnesty.

Today Laura had as a guest Robert Rector with the Heritage Foundation giving us the blow by blow of his research on the monstrosity of so called immigration 'reform' being hoisted upon us. Most importantly that the 'Z' visa is for life. Along with amnesty they've forgotten the meaning of 'reform'.

One problem Rector talked about was the drain this bill would be on the Social Security System. But a caller from San Francisco summed it up best. As an employee of the Social Security Administration she made some frightening observations. When these how-ever-many-millions of aliens are 'legalized', by whatever method, they are immediately eligible for SSI. Under SS guidelines, no one who does not speak English over age 40 is considered viable to learn new job skills and are automatically eligible for disability. They just have to say they are 'depressed', of course, with an interpreter, paid by YOU!

I'll say that again...when they hit 40 and haven't been required to learn English, they go on disability whether they ever paid in or not! And when you get SSI, you get food stamps, etc, ad naseum.

The good civil servant said there are already many Hispanic language web sites set up to guide their flock on how to apply. The SS offices are required to tell applicants where they can get help with applications. You can bet there are plenty in Arabic and other languages as well.
They will also have free legal services to get them through the process.

With Clinton we said the children were in charge.

With Bush we once thought the adults were in charge.

If we're smart enough to elect a Duncan Hunter, we could actually say the AMERICANS are in charge! And it's about time!

As Laura says, "ENFORCE THE LAW! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

Terrorists in our communites! Amnesty for them too!

Radical Muslim paramilitary compounds flourishing across the United States

Islamberg not the only radical Muslim compound flourishing in North America

By Judi McLeod

Monday, May 21, 2007

The two FBI types breaking bread with the enemy in the photo above at "Islamberg" look right at home to Canada Free Press (CFP). Notice the weapons these dudes are wearing at the dinner table?

Islamberg is just one of what is thought to be a half dozen radical Muslim paramilitary compounds flourishing across the United States, this one nestled in dense forest at the foothills of the Catskill Mountains on the outskirts of Hancock, New York.

Canada, home to at least one such compound, is no safe ground.

Update on story: May 22, 2007"Islamberg" founder Sheikh Gilani blames Doug Hagmann for CFP story

Update on story: Blogger who posted CFP Islamberg story had life threatened

Story: Radical Muslim paramilitary compound flourishes in upper New York state

Now that the photos of the two unidentified FBI types have been published, we will undoubtedly hear that they were merely working undercover. But some sticklers would consider saying cheese from the dinner table of the enemy is over the top.

Hundreds of letters have deluged (CFP) since it published a story with pictures of Springtime in Islamberg, written by The Day of Islam author Dr. Paul Williams with the able assistance of Doug Hagmann, Bill Krayer and Michael Travis.

Many letter writers complain that local authorities are telling them they have never heard of the compound.

Islamberg is an al Fuqra house. "Fuqra has had a disturbing U.S. presence for more than 20 years." (The weekly Standard, March 18, 2002). "Today, half a dozen Fuqra residential compounds in rural hamlets across the country shelter hundreds of members, some of whom, according to intelligence sources, have been trained in the use of weapons and explosives in Pakistan."

In a world where authorities make like terrorism doesn't exist, Fuqra's founder and bossman, Sheikh Mubarik Ali Hasmi Shah Gilani, is not only alive and well--he has a road "Sheikh Gilani Lane" named after him. This road is not in faraway Pakistan, but right in Charlotte County, Virginia.

Charlotte County is a rural farming community in Central Virginia near the North Carolina border.

Like its counterpart in Hancock, New York, it is inhabited by proud Americans many whose sons and daughters are fighting for our freedom in Iraq.

"This is not only an embarrassment to the citizens of Charlotte County it is a disgrace to the entire country and an insult to the victims of 9/11 and those fighting overseas in the war against terrorism," wrote Martin Mawyer, president of the Christian Action Network.

"Sheikh Gilani has rubbed shoulders at international terrorist confabs with gunslingers from Hamas and Hezbollah, their mullah backers, and Osama bin Laden. And he has trained fighters for the battlefields of Kashmir, Chechnya and Bosnia." (the weekly Standard).

Dropping in on radical Muslim paramilitary compounds isn't good for your health. Two bloggers who posted the plucky Williams' Islamberg story had their lives threatened.

Most infidels, including even the local undertaker, are denied access to compounds such as Islamberg.

Indeed, the very undertaker denied access wrote a letter telling the author/journalist he was surprised he made it off the compound with his life intact.

The undertaker says he has delivered bodies to the complex but has yet to be granted entrance. "They come and take the bodies from my hearse," he told Williams. "They won't allow me to get past the sentry post. They say that they want to prepare the bodies for burial. But I never get the bodies back. I don't know what's going on there but I don't think it's legal."

As far as is known, Gilani launched his first U.S. operation without interference from any authority back in 1980.

By the 1990s, Fuqra's communes were being touted as havens where Muslim converts--many of them inner-city blacks, sometimes recruited in prison--could find new direction for their lives.

Why aren't people reading about these flourishing compounds in their hometown newspapers?

Does it require too much work for the mainstream media, or do politically correct times keep the topic taboo?

You'd think that these compounds would be a priority for Homeland Security, but they aren't.

One of the letters to Williams via CFP was from a member of Homeland Security asking for more information!

It seems to be politically incorrect to write about radical Muslim paramilitary compounds flourishing on American soil and politically incorrect to talk about terrorism.

For some American and Canadian citizens, it's welcome to life with a deadly enemy living right next door.

Illegal Alien CRIME spotlight!

Dana Pevia was kidnapped from her North Carolina school bus stop in 1999 when she was only 11. In March, 2003, she was able to escape her captivity in Mexico and visit the American Consulate in Guadalahara. The officials there contacted the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and through them reached Dana's mother Wanda was contacted. Dana returned home a few days later with her two children. The apparent kidnapper Hector Frausto, a "Mexican construction worker," was arrested in North Carolina on March 27. Dana was evidently forcibly kept captive by his family in Mexico for much of that time. She was only able to get away because she had the help of a sympathetic neighbor. The unasked question is why the obvious suspect's family in Mexico was not investigated four years ago. Was the unhelpful Mexican legal system being obstructionist yet again?

Hunter says immigration issue plays to his strength

Presidential hopeful sees issue as fuel to propel him above low single digits in polls

Published: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - 2:00 am

Republican presidential candidate Duncan Hunter speaks Tuesday at a campaign appearance in Greenville.
GEORGE GARDNER / Staff

By Dan Hoover

Duncan Hunter is running uphill as fast as he can.

For the 14-term California congressman and Republican presidential candidate who'll turn 59 on May 31, the clock is ticking.

Unless he makes a strong upward move in the polls soon, breaking out of the low single digits for example, he could be part of the first winnowing process in the current 10-man field.

Hunter, on the second day of a four-day swing through South Carolina, said Tuesday in Greenville that the immigration issue that exploded Friday with the announcement of a bipartisan compromise bill in the Senate, roiling GOP presidential politics, is made to order for him.

His campaign is a three-legged stool, standing on a strong national defense, secure borders and two-way trade.

"It's a boost for our campaign because it focuses attention on one of my strengths," Hunter said of the proposed legislation. "I'm getting good traction from this."

He has his bona fides as an immigration hawk, he says, noting that "I'm the only candidate that has built a border fence" and now this "grandly produced" Senate bill, approved by the White House, would vastly decrease the authorized 800-mile fence by more than half.

"They don't want to build the fence," Hunter said, adding that so far, only 11 miles have been completed, "and at that rate, it'll take 20 years to complete."

He's convinced that the fence, from the Pacific Ocean through Arizona and New Mexico, must be the first step in securing porous borders that terrorists have now discovered are far easier entry points than heavily policed airports.

Hunter won funding in 1997 for the first border fence, this one of 10 miles, from the ocean into the hills along the U.S.-Mexican border in his San Diego County district. That fence, he said, slowed illegal immigration and helped reduce crime in urban San Diego.

The Senate bill, put together by Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., presidential rival John McCain, R-Arizona, and McCain's South Carolina ally, Lindsey Graham, is amnesty legislation and is unworkable, Hunter said, because it would require heads of households to return to their native countries to begin a long and expensive process toward legal status and eventual citizenship.

"They're not going," he said.

"The idea of legislating our out-of-control borders is senseless," Hunter said.

Pointing to his background as an airborne trooper in Vietnam, four-year chairmanship of the House Armed Services Committee and 27-year record in promoting defense, Hunter said, "I can look the American people in the eye in times of crisis."

On Immigration and being an American

Conversation on an internet political forum.....

Jveritas to AuntB : "I am against people like yourself who are attacking the President in every second of their lives and during times of war as if he is the enemy of the State. As I said, you hate President Bush more than you hate Bin Laden and you hate Jose the illegal immigrant more than you hate Mahmoud the terrorists.

Your hate Aunt B is blinding your heart, mind, and soul.

PS: I stand with what I wrote back January 31 2005.

------------------
To Jveritas from AuntB:

JV, you're like one of my children, who isn't nearly as smart as she thinks she is.

It's not hate. I will admit to fear. I'm happy that you are so content with the status quo of our government that now exists in this country. You don't know my America.

The America that we had before you ever saw it. In fact there are many America's in this nation, and we all have our own cultures distinct from each other. But that's changing too.

I'm not even mad at the illegal aliens. I'm angry beyond words that laws are being passed represented as something else all together. That bills are being made into law that aren't being read by the legislators and the bill is written by foreign national special interest groups like LaRaza, who is being financed with OUR tax dollars!

I'm angry because we get a bill passed to build a wall, and they won't do it! And that this administration and others would not enforce our constitutional laws meant to preserve the integrity of this nation.

Fear and hate are OFTEN confused. Ask any of those Americans in Iraq protecting your rights. I only wish I had some way to put a little fear in you. You may think you escaped all the oligarchs, totalitarians, abusive regimes when you left your homeland. Don't be so naive to think it can't happen here. The bodies of my dead ancestors of 400 past years are buried in nearly every state of this great union who died fighting them. Foreign AND domestic. A lot of good LEGAL immigrant citizens fought and died beside them as well. Just as most good immigrants don't like one bit what this administration and Senate is doing this week. That's one reason I don't understand your attitude. As a legal permanent resident, illegal immigration ought to bother you too. Whether the 'leaders' can say it or not this AMNESTY will put illegal aliens ahead of you!

It is my duty as an American to complain and do anything legal in my means to stop any corruption in my government to preserve this representative republic or anyone who tries to shut me up with liberal insults. R's and D's be damned. I'm sorry you are offended by that.

We have two parties we can hardly tell the difference in because neither represent us or our representative government. Our founders warned us of political parties. I'm sorry you can't understand that. It worries me. I hope you do by the time you pledge allegiance as a citizen.

Do not ever again tell any of these good Americans that YOU know better than they what their country should look like and that they have no right to complain against this president or anyone else. What you grasp so zealously for, we feel slipping away.

If We Build It They Won't Come ! MUST READ!

If We Build It They Won't Come !
Human Events.com article 5/22/2007

by Rep. Duncan Hunter

Mr. Hunter represents the 52nd District of California. He is a candidate for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. His website is: http://www.gohunter08.com/index.asp.

It’s much tougher than it should be to secure America’s borders. While the technology and manpower are all within reach, what seems beyond our grasp is the ability to act. Take last year’s legislation calling for construction of 854 miles of fence on our Southern border.

It’s all too obvious that America is under threat because its land borders are largely porous and unprotected. In response last year Congress passed, and the President signed into law, legislation calling for the construction of those 854 miles of border fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border. Despite this legislative mandate by the U.S. Congress, the Department of Homeland Security recently announced its intention to build only 370 miles of fencing along the border, not the 854 miles required by the legislation.

This directive, despite its clarity, appears to have been interpreted as a suggestion. It is not: it’s the law -- and the border fence must be built.

The Secure Fence Act requires that reinforced fencing and related infrastructure be installed along the most dangerous and problematic smuggling corridors along our Southern land border, which continue providing illegal immigrants, drug smugglers and potential terrorist access into the United States. As the original author of the measure’s fencing provision, I expected there to be some opposition to implementing strategic fencing along our land border with Mexico. I did not, however, expect one of the biggest obstacles to be the federal agency primarily responsible for protecting the American homeland, especially when border fencing has proven to be an effective enforcement tool with verifiable results.

In San Diego County, for example, border fencing remains a critical part of our continuing effort to address the problems commonly associated with illegal immigration. Since construction of the San Diego Border Fence began in 1996, the smuggling of people and narcotics has dropped drastically, crime rates have been reduced by half according to FBI statistics, vehicle drug drive-throughs have been eliminated and apprehensions have decreased as the result of fewer crossing attempts.

The Clinton Administration opposed the construction of the San Diego Border Fence as a method of closing the prolific smuggling corridor that once existed between San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico. The Clinton Administration, however, also recognized its responsibility under the law. Construction of the San Diego Border Fence began and conditions on both sides of the border immediately improved.

The Bush Administration says it remains committed to securing the border. I intend to hold them to their word. Just as I did with the Clinton Administration, I will continue reminding the Bush Administration of their obligation under the law to build the border fence. I believe they can, and will, do better.

Bureaucracy is rarely ever capable of producing immediate results. But when it threatens the safety and security of our communities, it becomes intolerable. The decision not to build fencing as dictated by law can only serve to demonstrate that we are not serious about securing our borders and enforcing our nation’s immigration laws.

Why is reinforced border infrastructure necessary? In 2005, 155,000 foreign nationals from countries other than Mexico were apprehended attempting to cross our land border with Mexico. Alarmingly, many of these individuals originated from countries of national security concern, including Syria, Iran, Lebanon and Yemen, and likely represent only a fraction of those who successfully entered our country without the knowledge of border security officials or the consent of our government.

It has also been reported that several of the individuals who were discovered to be plotting the next major terrorist attack against the United States, targeting soldiers at Fort Dix, crossed the U.S.-Mexico border through Brownsville, Texas. Whether they entered as children or adults, the fact that they originated from countries far from our shores demonstrates that across the world, it is understood that the best way to illegally enter the United States is through our land border with Mexico.

To date, only 12 miles of the 854 miles of border fencing called for in the Secure Fence Act have been constructed. While it’s a start, the 370 miles of fencing promised by DHS represents a significant departure from what’s required by federal law. Let’s be perfectly clear: it’s not enough. Even the 854 miles of fence legislated last year is only a beginning. Legislation presently under consideration by the U.S. Senate to reform our immigration system also reaffirms DHS’ decision to only build 370 miles of fencing. This legislation is weak on enforcement, comprehensively fails to make border security a priority and wrongly retreats from the mandates of the Secure Fence Act.

We know from our experiences in San Diego that border fencing works and when extended across Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, it will have the same salutary affect. DHS has more than $1 billion cash on hand for border fence construction and more will surely be delivered. It’s time we get serious about border control, do what’s right, and build the border fence. Secure borders make America safer. What’s so hard to understand about that?

NOTE: Hunter was on Larry King fighting the open border lobby last night for YOU!

[snips] In Spartansburg, South Carolina is Congressman Duncan Hunter, candidate for the GOP presidential nomination.

KING: Congressman Hunter, what do you think?

REP. DUNCAN HUNTER (R), CALIFORNIA, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, OPPOSES BILL: Well, I think, Larry, that this -- this Senate bill cuts down the border fence, cuts it in half. That's the fence that I legislated through last October. And since 9/11, enforcement on the border is now primarily a national security issue.

Americans have to know two things -- who's coming into the country and what are they bringing with them.

And by cutting this thing down to 370 miles -- which is what the Senate bill does, you leave the smugglers routes of New Mexico and Texas totally exposed. That means you're going to have continued people moving people and narcotics through those smugglers' routes. That's going to be bad for this country.

So let's -- let's follow up on the law that's already been passed, that was signed by the president in October, and that is to build -- extend the San Diego border fence -- which, incidentally, saved lots of lives -- saved the lives of the people who were being preyed on by the border gangs in San Diego. We cut the crime rate by 50 percent by building that fence.

This bill that extends it 854 miles across Arizona, New Mexico and Texas needs to be implemented.

KING: Congressman Hunter, isn't forgiveness one of the concepts of America?

You're not going to -- you're not going to deport 12 million people, are you?

HUNTER: Well, let me tell you, Larry, the other concept is security...

HUNTER: ... and there is absolutely nothing that has been -- has been laid down by the people that support this idea of amnesty. And it is an amnesty because the only thing people care about is can I stay?

And they can stay the instant they walk in and sign up. That nobody has been able to explain to me the difference between now and 1986, when we gave amnesty and we wrote in the fine print, now this is it, nobody else is allowed to come in illegally. People didn't even slow down. In fact, they rushed the borders. That's why there's 12 million people here now.

Now, if we pass this, why won't there be another 12 million people coming in to catch what they consider to be the third amnesty?

The answer is there won't be any difference because they will think that we've devalued our own laws by basically giving a second amnesty.

So this is an amnesty and it's going to bring on what I think will be a real stampede for America's borders for the third amnesty.

HUNTER: You know, I'm reminded that this is a security issue. It's a security issue because we have to know who it is coming in. It's been pointed out that there's 250,000 criminal aliens. That is people who came across the border to hurt Americans and presently in our federal, state and local penitentiaries and jails.

Unless you have sides on the house, it doesn't make any difference how you adjust the front door, if you don't know who's coming through those sides on the house. And the same -- the same smugglers who will take $10,000 to smuggle cocaine across the border or smuggle people who are coming in illegally across the border, someday will take $10,000 to smuggle terrorists across the border.

That's why you have to have a secure border. That's why we need sides on the house. And if people want to come in, they're going to have to knock on the front door, Larry. It's going to have to be that way since 9/11.

HUNTER: ... in 2005, a hundred and -- in 2005, 155,000 people came across the border from Mexico who were not citizens of Mexico. They came from virtually every country in the world.

Unless you have an enforceable border, you will have no way of telling who's coming across this 2,000 -- this vast 2,000 mile border between the United States and Mexico. Everybody in the world watches their television sets...


KING: The fault is with ourselves as some will say.

Congressman Hunter, you want to respond to Enrique's charge that you're responsible for some of the deaths?

HUNTER: Yes. Larry, first, there's one guy who's put out 10 times as much water as Mr. Morones has for people who have been dying in the desert. That's my brother, John Hunter, who does it every day every week and has done it for years, doesn't seek publicity like Mr. Morones, but he's put out a lot more water.

And secondly, when we built the border fence, you had armed gangs that robbed, raped and murdered illegal aliens so badly that Joseph Wambaugh wrote his best-selling book about the area between San Diego and Tijuana, that no man's land that they called Lines and Shadows. Those were gangs with automatic weapons. They average 10 murders a year on the border.

When I built the double border fence along the border between Tijuana and San Diego, we took those gangs out; we took the murders down from 10 a year to zero. I never got a thank you from Mr. Morones.

HUNTER: And Larry, let me finish my position on that. If the government would build the fence that I put into the law across Arizona and put interlocking cameras up, I timed that so they would be up before the next hot season so those 200 people would not die in the Arizona desert this year. This administration has failed to do that. The deadline was May 31, which is just a couple of weeks!

HUNTER: If you had 200 young high school students dying because they were getting into a canal and drowning, the first thing you'd do is fence the canal. If we fence the Arizona desert with a double fence and we have those interlocking cameras, you keep the coyotes from pushing those innocent people out across the line, telling them that the road is only two miles to the north. In some cases, it's 20 miles to the north. And in July heat, 110 degree heat, at 10:00 in the morning, they start to fall off.


HUNTER: Well, first, to the first point that was made by that call, Larry, I actually held a hearing on the Canadian border in Michigan last August with the Armed Services Committee and we asked our agencies what they needed in terms of increased law enforcement. They said it's not like it is on the Mexican border right now but if we have an enforcement on the Mexican border with the fence, we may well need better arrangements, including barriers, on the Canadian border if we have to in this post 9/11 world, then we have to do it. So the point is you have to have security.

And nobody here has explained how you separate, when criminals are coming in along with the good people and people coming in from virtually every country in the world, how you tell who's coming in and what they're bringing in with them unless you have a real border.

KING: What if you let no one in and then you're secure but you're alone?

HUNTER: Well, that's right, Larry. What that means is that you've got to come in through the front door. You've got to knock on the front door. You've got to give your credentials. That gives our law enforcement agencies an ability to analyze who's coming into the country. And every country post 9/11 has that right.

HUNTER: I think it tells me that they don't understand that border enforcement right now, this vast 2,000 mile border that's unsecured, is probably our most pressing problem with respect to homeland security. I think securing the border is more important than a thousand new shiny fire trucks for New York City or a new communication system for our police.

This is important because this is where people -- you know the 155,000 people that came from all countries in the world, Larry, to transit across Mexico, those people came because they know that that is the opening. You can't come through the airports anymore. You come across a land border between Mexico and the U.S. At some point, we're going to have people come across. They're going to put $10,000 in the hands of that smuggler who was moving cocaine and those people are going to be terrorists. This is a national security problem. You have to know who's coming into this country and you can't do that unless you have a secure border.


HUNTER: Well, I just say this: when the swift plants were raided in Iowa a couple of months ago, and I was up there, Larry, and about 800 folks were taken out working there illegally, the next day, I'm told, lots of native Iowans showed up to get their jobs back. So there are lots of jobs in this country, in fact, that have been taken by folks who are here illegally. I think that's very clear. I think the absolute statement that they're taking only jobs Americans don't want is not accurate. It's been proven.

Victory Gardens! Kill 2 'birds' with one stone....GROW Something!

According to the US Government...

"This poster was part of the publicity for a brilliantly mounted campaign to encourage the use of homegrown foods. Because commercially canned goods were rationed, the Victory Garden became an indispensable source of food for the home front. The Victory Garden was a household activity during the war and one of the most well received of all home front chores. At its peak, it is estimated that nearly 20,000,000 gardens were grown and about 40 percent of all vegetables produced in the U.S. came from Victory Gardens. By the end of the war the Department of Agriculture estimated total home front production of over one million tons of vegetables valued at 85 million dollars."

The headlines this week were so special!

.....China is importing poison toothpaste

.....The pet food still isn't safe, and melamine is probably in the human food supply (China...)

..... The White House/ Senate are trying their best to convince you that amnesty ain't amnesty!

...... Mexico along our border has broken out in drug cartel anarchy. So many people being murdered down there it looks like Bagdad!

You get the idea.

So what can we do about it?

GROW SOMETHING! If you can keep a house plant alive, you can grow something to eat!

Worried about the food supply? GROW something to eat! One tomato plant or one pot full of lettuce - GROW something.

You'll dispense with part of the 'need' for 'guest workers' and you'll know it's safe. Most of your tomatoes at the store are grown in Mexico, where they have no restrictions on the chemicals or cleanliness. Check the boxes if you don't believe it. Besides, don't you think you're supplying Mexico with enough of your dollars?

During World War 2, our parents and grandparents did it. It made a difference of 85 Million 1945 dollars. Don't we have any of the 'stuff' left that those good people had to do the same?

Check the web. You can find out how to grow anything. A tomato plant is as attractive as most exotic house plants - put the thing in your window if you have to.

GROW SOMETHING!

John McCain's own website has been bombarded with comments like these:

I am sorry to leave you now Senator McCain. I believe you are a true hero but your so called bi-partisanship Amnesty legislation is nothing short of a treasonous action. You might as well let Ted drive you home from the date also, because you just drove off the cliff when it comes to your run for the Presidency.

Well, technically what they're describing here is not amnesty. It's unconditional surrender to Mexico. 13 posted on 05/16/2007 by randog (What the...?!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


There have been seven illegal alien amnesties passed into law since 1986:

·The 1986 Immigration and Reform Control Act blanket amnesty for an estimated 2.7 million illegal aliens

·1994: The “Section 245(i)” temporary rolling amnesty for 578,000 illegal aliens

·1997: Extension of the Section 245(i) amnesty

·1997: The Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act for nearly one million illegal aliens from Central America

·1998: The Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act amnesty for 125,000 illegal aliens from Haiti

·2000: Extension of amnesty for some 400,000 illegal aliens who claimed eligibility under the 1986 act

·2000: The Legal Immigration Family Equity Act, which included a restoration of the rolling Section 245(i) amnesty for 900,000 illegal aliens]

Guess what? None –not one—of those amnesties was associated with a decline in illegal immigration. On the contrary, the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. has tripled since President Reagan signed the first amnesty in 1986. The total effect of the amnesties was even larger because relatives later joined amnesty recipients, and this number was multiplied by an unknown number of children born to amnesty recipients who then acquired automatic US citizenship.

More endorsements for Duncan Hunter '08!

In his Commentary, "Are top 3 GOP candidates real conservatives?" , Nick Bouterie
discusses the recent republican debates and candidates, with this endorsement:

"When given the opportunity, Duncan Hunter has proven that he is the real conservative in the debate. Congressman Hunter challenges the issue of so-called fair trade, calling out politicians for allowing China to cheat the United States on trade, and has addressed the fact that job outsourcing does more harm than good for the country. Hunter spearheaded the construction of a fence along the southern border in San Diego County, which drastically helped cut down drug activity and crime. Meanwhile, his military background and record as chairman of the Armed Services Committee proves he will be aggressive against our enemies.

Duncan Hunter is the best candidate to bring back true conservativism to the Republican Party and preserve our traditional American society and businesses."

Nick also had a post debate observation on his blog.

"-- Congressman Duncan Hunter also had a pretty good line regarding illegal immigration: “We need to be able to ask people when they want to come into America: Knock on the front door because the back door's going to be closed,” and also said regarding the government’s construction of only two miles of border fence since his fence extension bill passed last year, “The current government has a case of the slows.”


Once again, I still believe Duncan Hunter is by far the best of the bunch. He challenged the rest of the candidates to match his resume/personal connection regarding the War on Terror, which includes his service in the 75th Army Rangers, a position as Chairman of the Armed Services Committee, and a son who has served two tours in Iraq and is gearing up for a third tour. He addressed the need to speed up the rotation of Iraqi forces to replace the American brigades and relieve our troops of the heavy lifting in Iraq.

Congressman Hunter pointed out that he is more than just talk when it comes to enforcement of illegal immigration, citing the construction of a fence on the southern border of San Diego County, which drastically reduced crime and drug trafficking, and his authorization of a bill, which passed, to extend that fence across the rest of the U.S./Mexico border.

Duncan Hunter also spoke of reducing the tax burdens on the manufacturing industry, as only ONE manufacturer of our troops’ body armor is a U.S. company. Congressman Hunter stood by the argument the current outsourcing of manufacturing jobs and businesses overseas is harmful to the country and could soon have a very negative impact. He also addressed the need to reverse our current trade deficit by eliminating the current “free” trade agreements with China and defined the way China has been cheating on trade deals with the United States.

But as usual, the pundits and media will continue to concentrate only on the Big 3, and the 2008 Presidential Election will continue to be a popularity contest between highly bought-and-paid for politicians. If one of the current Big 3 has to win the nomination, I hope the winner is John McCain, though his amnesty bill needs to be shut down immediately.

That's right kiddies!! The Amnesty is for the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens ALREADY here! The ones lining up are for the millions more visas they will give out to ones not here!

Better learn your spanish and learn to accept Muslim law!
You've just become the minority with NO representation!

Bill would give 12 million a path to citizenship

A new bill would grant quick legal status to millions of illegal immigrants already in the United States and fortify the border against new ones. The measure was announced Thursday by a bipartisan group of senators who reached an agreement with the White House. "It is not amnesty. This will restore the rule of law," said Sen. Arlen Specter.

Hunter Quotes from the debate:

"China is cheating on trade"


"I would zero the manufacturing tax on US Manufacturers"

Responding to a hypothetical situation in which people in custody in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have knowledge of an imminent terror attack, he said: "This would take a one-minute conversation with the secretary of defense. I would call him up, or call him in, I would say to sec def, in terms of getting information that would save American lives, even if it involves very high pressure techniques, one sentence: Get the information ... and I will take full responsibility."

"If we have border enforcement, we will be able at that point to start to regulate the internal problem that we've got, because as long as you've got a revolving door and you have no border - and this 2,000-mile porous border, incidentally, is our biggest homeland security problem. It's not just an immigration problem. It's a homeland security problem."

Mark Levin on the debate: "But I am becoming increasingly impressed with Duncan Hunter. He's poised, has a good grasp of the issues, and is consistent. He's solid on national security, and I like his idea about zero taxes for the manufacturing sector. In my own mind, it would be nice if he'd move into the first tier of candidates. "

Townhall " Duncan Hunter – Unlike the guys who mention their lame-o backgrounds as governor, Hunter actually has a résumé that you gotta love. Also, I think he comes across impressively. In a better world, he would be a top tier candidate."

Please contact your Reps! Enforcement first! NO AMNESTY!

Thousands more Americans (civilian targets) have been killed by Mexican Illegal Aliens or Aliens they’ve allowed passage through their country, than have been killed by Muslim extremists including the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, all the deaths on 9/11. Who is the enemy? And this one has a name, an identifiable country and it’s Mexico. And that isn’t opinon, just a sad fact.

American forces too soft on terrorists, says Iraqi sheikh
AFP ^ | May 15 2007 | Dave Clark

The key to saving Iraq from the scourge of Al-Qaeda is to subject captured fighters to the swift and deadly rule of tribal justice, according to the leader of a powerful new armed movement.

Sheikh Hamid al-Hais leads the Anbar Salvation Council, the paramilitary wing of a coalition of Sunni tribes from Iraq's western desert, and he has a simple message for his new American allies in his battle with the insurgents.

"I always tell the Americans 'Why detain the enemy? Leave him to me, don't detain him,'" he chuckled during an interview with AFP in a Baghdad hotel.

Murderers must be killed under tribal law and unless we use this force against terrorism, terrorism will continue to rise."

The Salvation Council is part of a movement called the Anbar Awakening run by Sheikh Abdulsattar Abu Risha, whose alliance of tribal leaders united against the threat posed to Anbar province by Al-Qaeda's militants.

"The Americans don't know the terrorists like we do. A very dangerous terrorist was freed by the Americans and our police captured him," he said.

"We asked him during the investigation, 'Why did the Americans release you, you are very dangerous?' He said, 'I told them just two lies and they believed me and they set me free'," Hais recounted. (Just like our immigration policy!!!)

"There's no way to cure them, they have to be killed."

"Put 10 officers from Anbar on one side and 10 from other regions of Iraq on the other and you will see that they are the fiercest, because of the desert environment in which they have lived," he said. [snip]

Since October, sheikhs have funnelled thousands of tribal fighters into the police and "emergency response units", which now fight alongside US and government forces while retaining their loyalty to their sheikhs.

The US commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus, describes the change of mood in Anbar as "almost breathtaking", and Hais proudly recounted a series of victories won by his fighters in wresting back territory from Al-Qaeda.

To finish the job, he wants more money and weapons and a free hand to impose rough justice on the enemy fighters that fall into his hands.

"We have 500 prisoners right now. We have our own prisons. There are Egyptians, Libyans, Syrians but most of the foreign fighters were killed during the clashes. Most of the prisoners are Iraqis."

These jails, he said, are guarded by "police units that we have formed from the tribes."

"We investigate very quickly. We already have all the information. We don't need long investigations. We have a very well organised security staff. We don't make any mistakes when we target anyone," he said.

"Security is our speciality. We have 1,600 officers, graduates of military and security colleges and academies. We have the skills but we still need funds and weapons. We must have authority, full authority, and enough funding."

After four years of fierce fighting but little political progress in Anbar, US commanders welcomed the rise of the Council with enthusiasm.

We all know them, no matter where we go, or what we do. These are the tactics they use, may as well list 'em!

1. Winning is the ONLY goal. Any means justify the end.

2. Always kill the messenger, ie attack and discredit the person you are talking to rather than the actual subject, theory, policy, act, etc. under discussion.

3. Bear false witness against fellow human beings. ie. make up 'bad deeds', with NO proof just to bolster your view.

4. Never apologize. Be absolutely convinced that your opinion is the only one worth hearing.

5. Never admit you might or have ever been wrong.

6. Become an artist at name calling and insult.

7. Try to convince the opponent he’s crazy because he won’t agree with your duplicity.

8. Always use God/Moral authority or superior education/intellect for your opinion, fact based or not.

9. Never answer a direct question with a yes or no answer. Easier to change with the wind tomorrow.

10. Use the race card, the greatest marketing tool of the 21st century! If that fails, grab the victim card, the second greatest marketing tool. Or just convince them you're more powerful and scare away the opposition.

Who ya gonna call? (And Happy Day, Mothers!!)

Look - Here's the thing about Illegal aliens......It ain't my fault that most of the illegal border crossers are Mexican citizens and other 'hispanics'. This, like every other issue on earth, is about power. And the 'hispanic' arm of illegal immigration/amnesty have been pushing and demanding and displaying their power over all US Citizens, to the point of telling us to get out of our country.

These poor non citizen invaders have MALDEF, LULAC, LaRAZA, ACLU, and dozens of other 'hispanic aid societies', mostly funded by YOUR tax dollars. Why don't they feed and care for their precious illegal aliens? NO!! They're too successful at making YOU do it!

It is time we demand of these groups an accounting of what needy 'immigrant' they ever directly helped, except to sue US citizens! They also need to make a firm statement whether they agree with the Reconquista movement to return the southwest to Mexican domination and why a Mexican citizen, above any one else on earth has a 'right' to cross our border.

Illegal Hispanic citizens also have the representation of the sold out leadership of the Catholic, Mormon and some other misguided churches, disregarding the wishes and rights of their flock.

They have the full force of their various home governments; Mexico being the worst to butt into US business. NO American should be happy with that kind of foreign interference in our policy making.

What is up with all the wallowing in pity and favor for Mexico anyhow? There are actual starving, abused people in this world that need help and asylum. How 'bout some of the Serbs we helped invading Muslim Albanians destroy? Why is it instead given automatically to Mexico? I thought the USA stood for 'fair'. Silly me. We're going to get a few million from Iraq pretty soon. But no one in this administration is talking about cutting down the 550,000 Mexican citizens that come across that border every year. And they stay MEXICAN citizens even after they become legal here! NO AMERICAN should be happy about that either. On top of that, they can bring in up to 200 relatives each when they are 'legal'.

They have the full force of governments in sanctuary cities and states like New York City,Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and New Jersey where a US private citizen was the only thing that stopped illegal aliens from blowing up a military base because Gov. Corzine doesn't want anyone to ask them their immigration status when they were arrested dozens of times before!

They even have the cooperation and support of the federal government. The Border Patrol or and LEO better not harm one! Too many examples to name!

And of course big international corporate bosses jes' love dat cheap labor! We have few AMERICAN businesses and farms left. I'm old enough to remember the pride we all had in those 'made in America' tags, by inspector # (An American Citizen!)

So, on this Mother's Day, I think about my family, friends, neighbors, and the patriots I've been blessed to meet. I think about my fellow Americans: The the immigrants who respected my country enough to come here legally. The white ones, the black ones, the red ones, the brown ones, and yes, even some of the enviro green ones, and I have to wonder......

Who represents MY people?

George Washington's Farewell Address To the People of the United States

FELLOW-CITIZENS:...Nothing is more essential, than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular Nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The Nation, which indulges towards another an habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. Antipathy in one nation against another disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury, to lay hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to be haughty and intractable, when accidental or trifling occasions of dispute occur. Hence frequent collisions, obstinate, envenomed, and bloody contests. The Nation, prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the Government, contrary to the best calculations of policy. The Government sometimes participates in the national propensity, and adopts through passion what reason would reject; at other times, it makes the animosity of the nation subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride, ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. The peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of Nations has been the victim.

So likewise, a passionate attachment of one Nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite Nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest, in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter, without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite Nation of privileges denied to others, which is apt doubly to injure the Nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained; and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens, (who devote themselves to the favorite nation,) facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation.

CASA of Maryland Teaches Invaders How To Avoid Deportation With Comic Book
A Maryland-based invader-advocacy group is distributing comic books instructing those targeted by federal immigration agents during job-site raids not to cooperate with authorities if they are arrested or detained.
The eight-page, two-color illustrated book lists what rights “people who are not United States citizens” have if detained by immigration agents, details what to do if served with a warrant or charged with a crime, and urges them to remain silent if they are arrested.
The book also says they should refuse to provide authorities with any information about their immigration status.
Included in the book is a “Know Your Rights” card to be cut out and presented to arresting agents, showing that those detained choose to exercise their “right to remain silent, the right to refuse to answer your questions” and to “refuse to sign anything until I consult with my attorney.”
The book, which features cartoonlike drawings of armed black and white police officers escorting Hispanic men in handcuffs and shows babies crying because their fathers are behind bars, is the product of CASA of Maryland Inc., working with other organizations.
Gustavo Torres, CASA’s executive director, has not been available for comment.
