On being elected and sworn
in, the President took an oath:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully
execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of
my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
And the members of congress took an oath:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and
defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and
domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take
this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion;
and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which
I am about to enter: So help me God.
The immigrants who founded this country did so on a principal that:
We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men
are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of
Happiness. That to secure these Rights,
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the
Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes
destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish
it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles,
and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to
effect their Safety and Happiness.
Declaration of Independence
Note the declaration that all
people have the right to “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”
and that it is the Government’s responsibility to organize in such a way to “most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness” but not
to actually provide it.
This principal was further
established in the U.S.
Constitution of the United States which begins:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect
Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common
defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to
ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the
United States of America.
Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution then states:
The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union
a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the
legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence. (emphasis added)
Unfortunately in our politically correct era, “invasion”
and “domestic violence” are now parsed with the word “is.” Regardless, our republican principals are
being ignored, our borders are being trampled, our laws broken, our sovereignty
violated, and our nation is under attack from outside peoples, foreign
nationals, who are committing more and more domestic violence, denying citizens
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, as well as both Safety and Happiness.
The Government’s US Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs
Enforcement currently allow far more illegal aliens to sneak in and remain than
are apprehended and sent back. The
enforcement is so spotty and the borders are so porous that more than 60% of
the ones deported return. While there
are a lot of good people in DHS and ICE trying to do their job, they are
grossly undermanned and ill-equipped for the task and the Justice Department
often sides with the illegal alien criminals against Americans trying to
enforce the law.
For one of the more abominable stories on a gross miscarriage of justice along
the southern borders see, the WND article, 2 Border
Patrol agents face 20 years in prison, where the illegal alien drug
runner wins a lawsuit lottery and Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean get sent
to prison for simply trying to do their job.
President Bush will pardon convicted drug dealers but, as of the publishing
of this report, not two law enforcement officers whose only mistake, other than
trusting that DHS and the Justice Dept. to put more credence on their testimony
rather than that of an illegal alien drug smuggler, appears to be procedural. Unfortunately as Ballistics
data don't support charge against border agents notes, the DHS may be
far more negligent than one would believe.
In fact, it often seems that the only people doing anything
constructive are various anti-immigration citizen’s groups, such as the Minutemen,
and our immigration and enforcement policies are so broken that U.S. Border Patrol
sometimes appears to be on the side of Mexico and “migrant’s rights” rather
than enforcing the sanctity of our borders and protecting the safety of the
American people.
How outrageous does the situation need to be before real
action is taken?
How many more
Americans must be ripped off, infected, molested, raped, killed, and murdered
by illegal aliens before something is done about it?
In considering the
solutions to the problem as detailed in this paper, what is the proper attitude
to have towards illegal aliens?
How about:
"In the first
place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith
becomes an American and
assimilates himself
to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is
an outrage to
discriminate against any such man because of creed, or
birthplace, or origin. But this is
predicated upon the person's becoming
in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance
here. Any man who says he is an
American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American
flag. We have room for but one language
here, and that is the English language.
And we have room for but one
sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
President Teddy Roosevelt – 1907
Or as former US Congresswoman Barbara Jordan from Texas
(1973-1979) put it:
“…those who should get in, get in; those who
should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be
required to leave.”
This is what the attitude and responsibility of the
Government should be. However, the
Government is “we the people” so we have a responsibility to insist that the
Government fulfill their mandated responsibilities and protect the people.
Therefore, what action should YOU take?
One of the very first things to do is reread this report
again and know what the collateral damage of illegal immigration is and the
terrible costs we as a people and nation are paying. In this process, you might have to follow many of the links and
do your own research before it really sinks in.
While you are rereading, memorize this line:
Exactly how many
Americans are YOU are willing to allow to be infected, molested, raped, killed,
and murdered by illegal aliens to save ten cents on a head of lettuce?
This puts the cost-benefit argument into a simple
equation. What is the life of an
American worth?
A serious border fence that will prevent new illegal aliens
from coming in, as well as the 60% or so of deported criminals from returning,
will cost about $4 billion to build and around $850 million a year to patrol
and maintain. How many American lives is that worth?
This paper gives you indications on the number of Americans
that are being sacrificed on the altar of illegal immigration. In discussions with others who don’t believe
illegal immigration is a problem, remember how the angel talked with Abraham in
discussing whether Sodom and Gomorrah could be prevented from being
destroyed. (Genesis 18:23-33) What person or politician in their right
mind is going to say that it is okay for 100 kids to be molested? Are they going to admit that it is
acceptable that 250 women be raped or 1,000 Americans killed? Exactly how much collateral damage will they
accept?
You now know that the collateral damage is FAR HIGHER than
anything any reasonable person would say is acceptable so you can easily nail
their sorry “victimless crime” and “only doing the work Americans won’t do”
arguments to the wall.
You can personally discourage more illegal immigration by
boycotting companies that are actively supporting illegal immigration. Miller
Brewing, Home Depot,
Ford, Wells
Fargo Bank, and Bank
of America are five that come to mind.
You might check with We Hire
Aliens and the Funding Hate list on We Hate Gringos for more. These companies are
pandering to illegal aliens simply to increase their bottom line profit and
they don’t give a damn about the consequences.
A wise man once said “The love of money is the root of all
evil.” How true that is in the case of
illegal immigration. Companies are
selling out the United States and taking advantage of desperate people all for
the sake of more profit.
You don’t have to be complicit so find other companies to
do business with that put America over profit.
Also sell any stock you have in those companies. Loosing customers and investors because of
their poor decision may force them to rethink their decision. In any case, be sure to contact the
companies you are boycotting and let them know of your decision.
You also don’t want to be banking at institutions that
accept the Marticula Consular ID cards and other bogus identification. To see if your bank does, as well as ones
that don’t, go to US
Banks that accept Illegal Alien IDs and the good/bad banks
list. If your bank is not on the
list – ask. When you change your
financial institution, be sure to let them know why.
Learn what the pro-illegal immigration crowd is
saying. As a start, What the Pro "Illegal
Immigrant Groups" DON'T want you to know has some commentary
on many of their arguments with some rebuttals. You might also note the National Council of LaRaza’s Talking Points
for Members of Congress and compare that with
what your state’s members are saying.
In fact spend some time on the National Council of La Raza site and
peruse some of the articles on their Immigration Debate.
When you do so, you will note that in the pictures of the
“rallies” that all the Mexican flags and anti-American signs have “disappeared”
and now only American flag-waving illegal aliens are represented. This is high power public relations at
work. Keep in mind that La Raza means
“the race” and their motto is "Por La Raza todo, Fuera de La Raza nada!" Which means "For the Race, everything,
for those outside the Race, nothing!”
Try doing that with a minority Irish-American group in
LA!
When talking to various pro-illegal immigration supporters,
as well as you congressional members, always keep in mind:
Exactly how many
Americans are YOU are willing to allow to be infected, molested, raped, killed,
and murdered by illegal aliens to save ten cents on a head of lettuce?
as this will destroy anything
they have to say other than sputtering rhetoric.
As this report documents, the collateral damage is
extensive and rising. Therefore, tell
all your friends and family about the hidden costs of illegal immigration which
is impacting them as well as the personal collateral damage that is affecting
multitudes of Americans and which can potentially affect them. Also send or summarize this report so they
can investigate the facts and data themselves.
The SUMMARY OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE section of this report has a lot of the
collateral damage carnage and costs in bullet-like form.
Contact your local media and ask that they investigate the
various issues and report on the collateral damage that is occurring and being
inflicted in your area. An old adage of
the MSM is “if it bleeds, it leads” so you need to frame the issue in a way
that gets their attention.
Unfortunately there is a lot of bleeding and dying occurring on the
altar of illegal immigration but it is not being reported. You may have to help them connect the dots.
Most newspapers will still print letters to the editor on
the subject. Try to include data on the
collateral damage from your local area.
This will require research. In any
case, remember, we are not against a reasonable amount of legal
immigration from people of any race, ethnic group or nationality but we are
against illegal immigration of people from any race, ethnic group or
nationality.
Contact you city, county, and state law enforcement
agencies and the powers that control them.
Ask them if they are participating in the ICE 287(g)
Immigration Enforcement program. If
not, why not? See the report by Peter
Onge in the TAn Eye On Illegal
Immigrants - Mecklenburg Sheriff Signs on to Federal Program to Find, Deport Violators, as to WHY your local law enforcement agencies should be
participating.
Be sure to ask them:
Exactly how many
Americans are YOU are willing to allow to be infected, molested, raped, killed,
and murdered by illegal aliens to save ten cents on a head of lettuce?
If there is any hope to control the unfettered illegal
immigration tsunami, the Dept of Homeland Security has to get tough. Very tough.
Unfortunately with the changing of the guard in the 2006 elections, the
DHS may become more illegal alien friendly unless you act and act fast. As noted in a November 28, 2006 article in The Washington Times by Jerry
Seper, Cintas warned against firing immigrant force:
“A Mississippi Democrat in line to become chairman of the
House Homeland Security Committee has
warned the nation's largest uniform supplier it faces criminal charges if it
follows a White House proposal to recheck workers with mismatched Social
Security numbers and fire those who cannot resolve the discrepancy in 60 days.
Rep. Bennie Thompson said in a letter to Cintas Corp. it
could be charged with "illegal activities in violation of state and
federal law" if any of its 32,000 employees are terminated because they
gave incorrect Social Security numbers to be hired.”
However, there may be some hope for Rep. Thompson properly
discharging his constitutionally directed duties as he recently released a press release
“applauding the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in executing civil
search warrants at six facilities owned by Swift & Company as part of a
worksite enforcement investigation.”
In any case, contact
Representative Thompson and encourage him to do even more. To e-mail his staff, go here. Go to here and here for the
members of the House Homeland Security Committee.
It also wouldn’t hurt to contact all the members of the Congressional Black Caucus,
of which Rep Thompson is a member, and point out to them that illegal
immigration hurts Black Americans the most.
Ditto with the Congressional
Hispanic Caucus – illegal immigration hurts their constituents!
Contact your members of Congress and state government and
ask them:
Exactly how many
Americans are YOU are willing to allow to be
infected, molested, raped, killed, and murdered by illegal aliens to
save ten cents on a head of lettuce?
If you don’t know how your state’s members of Congress
stand on immigration, you can get an idea at Americans for Better
Immigration’s Report Card, United States Immigration Reform PAC,
and the Politicians tab on Secured
Borders USA. Go here to see if your city is a
“sanctuary city.”

While some of
these sites will let you send an automated message via fax or e-mail, it is
more effective if you look up the name and e-mail of the person you want to
express your opinion to and call or send them a personal e-mail. If you are new to all this, you might first
want t read How To
Communicate With Public Officials for some ideas and suggestions on how
to be more effective in making your voice and opinion heard.
You will
especially want to contact all members of both the US House
Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims and the Senate
Immigration, Border Security and Citizenship.
As
detailed in a 2006
Zogby poll, previously noted in the WHAT TO DO section,
the vast majority of Americans want something done about out of control
immigration and overwhelmingly prefer the House’s approach. You would not know this listening to the
MSM.
As
noted in Toughness
on immigration did NOT cost candidates their election, “11.5% of all Republican seats in
Congress were lost as Democrats took back control of Congress but only 6.7% of
the Members of Tancredo's Immigration Reform Caucus lost their seats.”
In the politically correct climate of the day with all the pandering to
potential Hispanic voters from both political parties, even if for different
reasons - the NAU & SPP not withstanding - it is worth remembering that in
the November 2006 election in Arizona, as reported
in Hispanics help pass
laws against illegals, “All four of Arizona’s anti-illegal
immigration propositions passed by wide margins - and, perhaps surprisingly,
several surveys showed that between 40 percent and 50 percent of Hispanics
voted for them.” Arizona’s
English only language proposition 103 passed with 74%. of the vote.
It
wouldn’t hurt to mention these facts because the MSM has been portraying it the
other way.
How many Americans is it tolerable to be infected, molested,
raped, killed, and murdered by illegal aliens to save ten cents on a head of
lettuce?
Sign up on Grassfire’s Stop the Invasion Petition. Then go to Secured Borders USA and down load the individual petition that must
be notarized and mailed. As of the
publication of this report Secured Borders has collected over 12,500,000
individually notarized petitions. Their
goal is to collect 50,000,000 notarized petitions and deliver them in mass to
Congress. The petition states:
Then get all your family, neighbors and co-workers, who are
feed up with what is going on and shocked by the collateral damage, to sign the
petitions.
Finally, GET
INVOLVED! See the MORE INFORMATION
section for national and state groups.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
It is time to stop the collateral damage being inflicted on American
citizens as a result of The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration.
