Political Insanity Of Open Borders Just Plain Suicidal

Americans had better stand up and put a stop to this political insanity that is enveloping this country.

We are being overrun by illegals with our governments blessings. You and me my friend, are going to be the ones to pay for their insanity. Big Time!

Not only are we having to contend with terrorists who are illegally crossing our borders. As if that isn't enough to sound an alarming bell, so, too, are sexual predators invading our land. Three convicted child molesters who had been deported were caught in the Tucson, Ariz., sector last week, trying to sneak back into the United States. All were Mexicans. They may catch them and maybe deport them but they keep coming back across the divide. There has to be some way to stop them from coming across again and again. Castration sounds like a good plan to me.

Border Patrol agents have "arrested 9,559 illegal aliens with criminal records, 143 of which were for sexually related charges. As if we don't have enough child perverts that call themselves Americans in this land, already.

Moreover, as Seper (According to reporter Jerry Seper of the Washington Times) reported in a recent series in the Times, only 18 squads of immigration agents are "seeking to arrest 80,000 criminal aliens, including killers, rapists, drug dealers and child molesters, and at least 320,000 'absconders (fugitives from justice),' foreign nationals who were ordered deported but disappeared (inside the United States)."

It's amazing that this reporter, Jerry Seper, is just now reporting on this. This has been going on for decades. What's so different is, with all this dung seepage oozing across our borders, now we have the Islamic Jahidist to contend with amongst them.

When the open-borders lobby celebrates the societal benefits of unrestricted immigration, it should be made to look at the other side of the ledger, the horrors perpetrated by criminal aliens and the heartaches visited upon the families of their victims. Seper gives us a glimpse at that side:

In Los Angeles ... more than 90 percent of all outstanding homicide warrants are for illegal aliens, and about 65 percent of the fugitive felony warrants involve illegals. In Phoenix, alien smuggling operations last year resulted in a huge surge in home invasions and alien-related violent crimes. ...

Yes, my friend. We are being taxed to death and this idiotic political madness is costing you and I, millions of dollars, hardships and heartache. Not to mention a possible terrorist attack.

Nationwide, the Justice Department says about 40,000 illegal aliens are being held in the federal prison system, about 25 percent of the prison population. They are the fastest-growing segment.

In the past year, the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been conducting "Operation Predator," running down sex criminals who have come to America to prey on children. Some 3,200 foreign nationals and lawful permanent U.S. residents were arrested as suspected child molesters. Of these, fully one-half were illegal aliens. This is outrageous and totally uncalled for. There is a solution and it baffles my mind as to why this solution isn't being used. I'm sure some of you will get my drift!

Then there's the Immigrant Gang Plague. Is anyone up for more gang violence or gang-banging? Hispanic youths, whether recent arrivals or birthright American citizens, are developing an underclass culture of dead-beats on the streets.

Gang crime is exploding nationally, rising 50 percent from 1999 to 2002 and driven by the march of Hispanic immigration east and north across the country.

Indicators like crime and single parenthood do not improve over successive generations of Hispanics, they worsen. In the middle-class suburbs of southwest Miami, second- and third-generation Hispanic youths are perpetrating home invasions, robberies, battery, drug sales and rape. This isn't even counting the second, third generation of Hispanics sucking our welfare and medical system dry.

An invasion that Congress and the president refuse to repel, in dereliction of their constitutional duty, has put America at risk.

While the GOP remains silent, Kerry Democrats try to out-pander Bush Republicans with even more generous offers of amnesty to illegal aliens.

Then there's the Scam of Voting by Noncitizens and Felons!

As the country appears so closely divided between the red and blue states, the Democrats are seeking odd-ball constituencies to enhance their numbers. They and their liberal-advocacy law firms and lobbyists have been working for months to get convicted felons credentialed to vote for John Kerry, and now they are going after the votes of noncitizens. I have to say here, that both sides of the parties are seeking the noncitizens' vote. That's one thing I don't understand.

Many millions of noncitizens live in the United States, some legal and some illegal, and the Democrats see this as a win-win effort to get them to the polls on Election Day. They figure the percentages are pretty good that those constituencies will vote Democratic. Promise them all the free democratic programs and they'll come and they'll take.

Local decisions to allow noncitizens to vote in city, county and school board elections should not give them a pass to vote in federal elections, but once they are on the precinct registration rolls, who is going to stop them? Certainly not the Democratic polling officials, nor the Republican polling officials either.

Five Washington, DC City Council members (fortunately, not a majority) just announced their support for a bill that would allow thousands of noncitizens to vote in local and school board elections. They are waving signs and slogans such as "Democracy for all" and "No taxation without representation."

The District may have as many as 40,000 resident noncitizens. That's clearly enough to provide the margin in a close election. And they think what happened in Florida was a shamble. Nevertheless, they keep asking for a bigger one.

What a disgrace and dishonor to us true Americans. This is our land and it is being given to those that have no rights to it...all for political gain. What a travesty! What is worse yet, we Americans are sitting on our tush's saying and doing nothing about it. Shame on us! Are we this unconnected and lazy?

Americans don't have to stand by and tolerate this impertinence since, as in so many dilemmas, the U.S. Constitution provides the remedy. Article I, Section 8, gives Congress the power to pass "exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever" over the District of Columbia, and the Republican Congress would be foolish if it doesn't act immediately to nip this mischief in the bud.

The DC City Council isn't the first to think up this thoroughly bad idea. San Franciscans will vote in November on whether to allow noncitizens, including even illegal aliens, to vote in school board elections even though this is probably a violation of the California state constitution which requires U.S. citizenship to be eligible to vote. I wonder what Governor Schwarzenegger will do? I bet I know what he will do! Bow down to the elitists in Washington, that's what he'll do.

Other efforts to reward noncitizens with the franchise have emerged in New York City, Hartford, Los Angeles, Colorado, New Jersey, and Texas. Scattered municipalities in Massachusetts, Maryland, Illinois and New York have already gone down this road.

Giving voting rights to noncitizens is a thoroughly bad idea from every point of view, NOT TO MENTION, OF COURSE, IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL. It cheapens citizenship and it could give legal cover to would-be terrorists who come to this country with hate in their hearts.

Enough problems are already caused by the Motor Voter Law, under which voting registration is offered to everyone getting a driver's license. This even includes those states that grant driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

Becoming a resident of a state may confer the right to get a driver's license, but it does not and should not confer citizenship. According to U.S. law, lawful residents must also speak English and swear allegiance to the United States before they can become citizens.

And they must become citizens before they can vote. We don't want any immigrants voting who haven't made the conscious and sincere decision to renounce loyalty to the country they came from and pledge allegiance to the United States of America.

The Constitution should also be our starting point in the matter of allowing convicted felons to vote. The U.S. Constitution reserves the matter of voting regulations to state legislatures and, in the 14th Amendment, Section 2, specifically authorizes the disenfranchisement of felons.

Nevertheless, the Democrats have persuaded activist judges to force the state of Florida to assist felons, as they leave prison, in getting the right to vote. The Kerry campaign has already set up a nationwide legal network to recruit litigators and election lawyers to challenge the election results in Florida and other close states.

The Democrats have been whining about people who were mistakenly listed as felons on a state database during the 2000 Florida election. But the Democrats are silent about the convicted felons who actually did vote illegally in the 2000 Florida election, as well as the people who received absentee ballots to vote in both New York and Florida.

These asinine law makers should be kicked out of office for even suggesting a free ride for illegals. They continually spit in the face of Americans and saying to us, it doesn't matter what you think or want. They have to really think all Americans are some kind of "low-life" that they can force their will over us little low-life navvies. This is one election I have no hope for. But being a true blue American, I will cast my vote.

I suggest that those who are worried about whole groups of people not being able to vote, or not having their votes counted, should look into the matter of guaranteeing that U.S. military personnel serving overseas will have their ballots counted. In the uncertainties that followed the 2000 presidential vote count in Florida, an untold number of military ballots were never counted.

Today, about 150,000 of our service men and women are in Iraq or Afghanistan, and they above all deserve to have their right to vote assured and their ballots counted.

How many illegal aliens do you know that would sign up for our military and fight for this nation? Not a one!

We haven't even touched on the Medical and Welfare costs to hard working Americans, in this article. Nor have I even touched on the really big possibility of these terrorists recruiting these illegals (whether by blackmail or fear), to do harm on their behalf, to America and her citizens. Wake up America. We are losing the battle here.
