There are ways to fight back
by Francis Playfair
In November last year, as the rest of the nation was electing the candidate that they considered the lesser of two evils, in the presidential elections, the good folk of Arizona were casting their votes over proposition 200.
There are planned legal objections to the proposition, but if the people of Arizona can get this past a federal judge then this will be a small step in the right direction. However, the question is why do they need proposition 200?
What is happening along the border, that is making the people of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California feel like a people under siege?
To understand this people have to realize that for the last decade or so there has not been a trickle of immigrants coming over the border, it has been a flood. In Arizona alone the illegal alien population is now estimated, by the government, to be about 500,000, or 10% of the population, however this does not include so-called legal aliens and the locals claim the figures for illegals is much higher than the government suggests.
Based on the low government estimation the annual cost of providing public benefits to illegal aliens living in Arizona now exceeds $1 billion, or $700 a year per household and, according to a time study, in a single day, more than 4,000 illegal aliens will walk across the busiest unlawful gateway into the U.S., the border between Arizona and Mexico. And many will obtain phony identification papers, including bogus Social Security numbers, to conceal their true identities and mask their unlawful presence, thus sky rocketing the already obscene costs of immigration to the people of the state.
While the vast majority are Mexicans, a small but sharply growing number come from other countries, including those with large populations hostile to the U.S. From Oct. 1 of last year until Aug. 25, the border patrol estimates, it apprehended along the southwest border 55,890 people who fall into the category described officially as other than Mexicans, or OTMS, many of these have turned out to be Muslims who could present a considerable danger to the people of America.
However it is not just the threat of terrorism that effects the people living on the front line. A 1996 study published in Clinical Therapeutics raised serious concerns about the trafficking of controlled substances along the U.S.- Mexico border. The number and types of pills that the Shepherd study found at a typical border crossing backup DEA's view that these drugs are being used for illegal purposes.
The Shepherd study estimated that in just one year at the Laredo border crossing, over 60,000 drug products were brought in to the U.S. by more than 24,000 people. All of the top 15 drug products, which represent 94.1 percent of the total quantity of declared drugs, were controlled substances. These dangerous drugs, classified as prescription tranquilizers, stimulants, and narcotic analgesics, are potentially addictive and subject to abuse.
Rohypnol, commonly referred to as the "date-rape drug," was brought in by 43 percent of those who declared their prescription medication. Over a full year, that means that over 1.5 million doses of Rohypnol where brought in at a single border crossing. Further, the median age for those who declared Valium and Rohypnol was 24 and 26 years old respectively.
Rohypnol continues to be a problem among treatment admissions in Texas along the Mexican border.
There is also the threat of other crimes, violent crimes and robberies, the highest larceny rate in the country and a high auto- theft rate pushed Tucson to the top spot in a survey of crime in the 100 largest U.S. metropolitan areas in 2002.
According to the survey, Tucson had 7,543 serious crimes per 100,000 residents in 2002. The larceny and auto-theft rates accounted for 5,853.6 of that total. The violent crime rate in Tucson is 631.7 per 100,000.
Statistics show that a disproportionate amount of these crimes are committed by the illegal aliens in the area.
Every day new "Colonia" go up, a "Colonia" is a Spanish term for neighborhood or community. In Texas, colonia refers to a residential area along the Texas-Mexico border that may lack basic water and sewer systems, electricity, paved roads, and safe and sanitary housing. Colonias can be found in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California, but Texas has both the largest number of colonias and the largest colonia population. Approximately 400,000 Texans live in colonias. There are more than 1,400 Texas colonias, located primarily along the state's 1,248 mile border with Mexico.
These are usually little more than immigrant shanty towns, places where illegals congregate and "hide-out" as they pass across the border, their existence encourages and assists illegal immigration.
Every day more and more crimes are committed and the border situation has gone beyond the point of polite conversation. It has become a disease, one that is attracting some of the more perverted members of society, in fact according to John Miller, director of the U.S. Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, An estimated 16,000 to 20,000 women and children are sent across the U.S. border each year for sexual slavery or forced labor.
Every part of every day life is being contaminated, and whilst the more sensational stories, of the now frequent rapes and murders, might make some of the headlines, the real problem is that these are not isolated incidents and that all these little things are building up to one big thing and that big thing is the loss of the culture, heritage and history of the region and the creation of a country within a country where the good folk of the border states no longer have a place, where they become a minority, victims of crime, prejudice and abuse.
New Mexico, California and Texas are already considered by many to be a minority- majority, in other words the White man is no longer the majority population, Arizona is expected to join this minority-majority group soon.
Soon none of us will be able to get that drink we like, or that spread we like, we won't be able to listen to that radio show we have been listening to for years, we'll go to our normal barbers to get our hair cut and we'll find he's gone, and this will carry on until our whole life has been whittled away.
Everything we ever loved, everything we ever held dear, everything we ever believed in, just gone, wiped out and we'll find ourselves living in a foreign land, with foreign rules and foreign people and we will no longer be the kind host, we will be the down trodden minority, subject to crime and perversions, the type of which we are seeing more and more everyday in these infected places, and you know what?
They are not half as kind, helpful and charitable as we have been to them.
Soon all those little things will add up to one big thing and that one big thing is a nightmare.
It's time to open your eyes before it's to late.
This is why, In November, as the rest of the nation was electing the candidate that they considered the lesser of two evils, in the presidential elections, the good folk of Arizona were casting their votes over proposition 200.
The people in the border states are in a war zone, they are a people under siege just looking for any opportunity to fight back and to survive.
