Immigration See other Immigration Articles Title: ALIEN BILL DEFIES PUBLIC WILL It's not even about illegal aliens anymore. It's about the relationship between the government and the people. It's about who wears the pants in the family. And right now, the president and a whole bunch of others are confused about that. See, they think they're in charge. They think it's their country. They think they're going to tell us what to do. Well, they've got another think coming. This time they've got a fight on their hands. The background is illegal immigration and the years of treasonously incompetent government which have allowed it to turn into the biggest threat to our country and its future. It takes some doing for an issue to rival militant Islam as a danger to the United States, but illegal immigration does. And that is completely the fault of the federal government. Stretching back to the late 1980s, and accelerating to light speed under George W. Bush and the Republican Congress, government negligence turned a blind eye to border security and the flood of illegal aliens into the country. Instead of dealing with the problem, the government facilitated it. Instead of being rounded up and deported, illegal aliens were guaranteed an ever-larger pool of government services. The United States became Mexico's welfare and medical system and the federal government did absolutely nothing to protect the interests or territorial integrity of the nation. As cultural dilution and antagonism became rampant, the government was uncaring and impotent. It was national suicide by governmental neglect. American wages were suppressed, American taxes were raided, American communities were endangered, American values were suppressed, American culture was spat upon. Entire communities were lost to illegal newcomers who were invaders, not immigrants. A centuries-old American model of immigration was thrown out for a divisive new pattern which has already effectively lost the United States sovereignty over portions of its own territory. We face cultural and financial bankruptcy because the president and Congress failed to uphold their oaths of office. They have ignored the rule of law by refusing to enforce the written law. We have a border, we have immigration laws, and the federal government has ignored them both. And only after years of complaint and rising public upset did the government begin to do anything. But even then it was mostly manipulation for political gain. It has been a scripted dance in which the people have demanded and the politicians have manipulated and in the end they get our dollars and our votes and we get the back of their hand. And the illegal immigration problem festers into malignancy while they twiddle their thumbs. Now there is a bill. Now, they tell us, is the time to act. And their bill is the only thing that can be acted upon. Negotiated in secret, amended in secret, demanded in public. Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. It's time to pull the wool over our eyes and they're impatient, afraid that delay will lead to scrutiny and defeat. In the name of helping us, they are about to kill us. And a tiny group of senators, in league with the president, have agreed to ramrod this through. And to defuse the nation's roaring disapproval they are taking a tone of authority and power their offices do not provide them. The president who is sure one more of his stammering speeches will convince the nation to change its mind. The Democrat senator who is essentially calling the American people racists. The Republican senator who is going to “do something” about talk radio, the only place political correctness and government intimidation have not yet completely choked out the voice of the people. All are miffed that the people have not rolled over and obediently accepted the superior enlightenment of the Washington fat cats. And that's what brings us to today's fight. Not just to stop an immigration bill that is poison to our national interests, but to knock down the politicians whose arrogance has presumed they could cram down the throats of average Americans a piece of legislation that every measurement of public sentiment shows they don't want. They said “Yes,” we said “No,” now they have raised their voices and furrowed their brows and pointed their fingers and said “Yes” again. It's as if they are the masters and we are the servants and they have reminded us to know our place. Well, the fact is we do know our place. We are at the top of the political food chain. We are the people the Preamble is talking about. We are the United States of America – they aren't. It is supposed to be government for, of and by the people, not imposed on the people. The job of every member of Congress is to represent the wishes of the people of his state or district. Period. It is not to impose a will, or coerce an opinion, it is to do what the people want. And the people don't want this immigration bill. Not by a damn sight. And the president and Congress who do not honor that wish have don't need a lesson just in immigration policy, they need a lesson in American democracy. And they are about to get it. Secure the border. Make it impenetrable. Shut off the influx of illegal aliens. Begin cleaning up the mess in our schools, jails, hospitals and streets caused by illegal aliens. Actively seek and deport illegal aliens and their families, particularly those involved with welfare and crime. Change the 14th Amendment to get rid of anchor babies. Passionately promote a national program of culture and language education and assimilation. Then, after a couple of years, talk about legalization and pathways. But secure the border first and foremost. And actively take down every candidate and party that pushes forward this asinine immigration bill.

Total agreement that securing our border needs to be the first priority. The only part of this I disagree with is the "anchor babies" bit. If a kid is born in the US, it's an American kid. The fact that the government failed to stop the parents from getting across the border doesn't change that. Aside from that, it would take a constitutional amendment IMO, and it would change the definition of what it means to be an American. Is it worth it just because we don't like illegal immigration? I don't think so. We've got all the laws on the books we need. Amending the constitution in an admission that we're too incompetent to keep a pregnant Mexican from walking across the border? Just because she has an American citizen kid doesn't make her a citizen, either. She can still be deported, and Mexico will let her take her kid back with her. Otherwise what do we have? We have a result where you can't prove your citizenship with a birth certificate. You have to have the birth certificates of both of your parents, also. Maybe we can solve this with a biometric national ID card, huh? How does that sound? Maybe put an electronic transponder in it so the friendly, competent and well-intentioned government we've all come to love can keep track of your location, too? Birthright citizenship has some drawbacks, but they are not common, except in the case of illegals, a case we've created through our neglect. Getting rid of it is throwing the baby out with the bathwater, IMO.
The illegal we do immediately. The Unconstitutional takes a little longer. - Henry Kissinger.
Not according the writers of the 14th. The parents are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US but the country they came from just as diplomats kids born here are not US citizens. Congress had to pass laws making American Indians US citizens because of this ruling.
