HANDING LA RAZA BIT BY BIT BY BIT AMNESTY…. or continued NON-ENFORCEMENT.

The
Betrayal of America
Joe Mariani
Just before the 2006 election,
I predicted (among other things) that without the slim Republican majority in
the House of Representatives, amnesty for illegal immigrants would soon become
a reality. "If
Democrats take control of the House," I wrote, "that barrier will
vanish like mist, and the Democrats will have a flood of uneducated, largely
ignorant new low-class workers to turn into good little Democrat voters, all
demanding a piece of the government pie."Six months later, here comes the
amnesty. Although the remaining Republicans managed to write
increased border security measures into the bill, no one is naive enough to
think they won't be simply ignored, just as they were in 1986. The
"one-time" amnesty Ronald Reagan signed was also supposed to result
in tighter border controls... which the Democrat-controlled Congress simply
"forgot" to fund. So twenty-one years later, here we are again:
facing another "one-time" amnesty, with promises of more border
security we know will not be honored. This compromise will cut the 850-mile
border fence the President signed into law just before the 2006 elections -- of
which only two miles have yet been built -- to 370 or so miles. Anyone care to
place bets on how much of even that shortened fence will ever exist in reality?
With the Iranian terrorist group Hizballah building a massive base in South
America from which to attack the US, how can we afford not to build that fence?
The main point of the bill (much of which has not yet even been written) is to
grant every single illegal alien currently in America a visa, allowing them to
stay despite the fact that they broke the law to get here and violate numerous
laws every day that they remain. I wonder when Congress will do the same for
other categories of criminal. For instance, will car thieves be granted a
"path to ownership" which allows them to keep their
unlawfully-obtained vehicles? If so, I'm going to feel awfully stupid for
saving up money to put down on a new car... the same way millions of people who
are patiently waiting for permission to emigrate to the United States must feel
as though they just received a boot to the face for respecting our laws. If
lawbreakers are allowed to keep what they obtained by criminal means, then no
matter what you may call it, it's an amnesty. Period. But we have to
"bring millions of people out of the shadows," we are told by people
such as Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA). What shadows? Remember those huge illegal
immigration rallies last year, in which hundreds of thousands of criminals --
along with their supporters and enablers -- marched through the streets of
major US cities protesting the audacity of people who thought we should enforce
our own laws? The only "shadows" I saw were cast by all the Mexican
flags and "This is OUR continent, not YOURS" signs. There were other
signs as well, but many of them were in Spanish, so I couldn't read them. This
amnesty proposal will result in a huge influx of uneducated and unskilled
immigrants over the next decade, too fast for our culture to absorb them. Food
and services will increase in price, as the artificially-depressed wages paid
under the table to those who had no choice but to accept them will have to
rise. It will also bring in millions of new illegal immigrants, expecting yet
another "one-time" amnesty a few years down the road. Many of these
people will demand free medical care, welfare, and other government services.
And which party will promise them all the freebies they could want? By agreeing
to this compromise, the Republicans will doom their own party and marginalise
Conservatives for years, ensuring a one-party Socialist state for at least a
generation. The only slim chance to stop this abomination of a bill is for
every person who cares about America's future to write, call, email and send
smoke signals to our Senators and our Representatives, demanding that they vote
against this amnesty proposal. Let them know that you will not support or vote
for any politician who betrays America in this way. It's the only power we
have, and if we don't use it... we will lose it.

ALIEN NATION: Secrets of the Invasion – Why America's government invites
rampant illegal immigration
It's widely regarded as America's biggest problem: Between
12 and 20 million aliens – including large numbers of criminals, gang members
and even terrorists – have entered this nation illegally, with countless more
streaming across our scandalously unguarded borders daily.
The issue polarizes the nation, robs citizens of jobs,
bleeds taxpayers, threatens America's national security and dangerously
balkanizes the country into unassimilated ethnic groups with little loyalty or
love for America's founding values. Indeed, the de facto invasion is rapidly
transforming America into a totally different country than the one past
generations have known and loved.
And yet – most
Americans have almost no idea what is really going on, or why it is happening.
While news reports depict demonstrations and debates, and
while politicians promise "comprehensive border security programs,"
no real answers ever seem to emerge.
But there are answers. Truthful answers. Shocking answers.
In its groundbreaking May edition, WND's acclaimed monthly
Whistleblower magazine reveals the astounding hidden agendas, plans and people
behind America's immigration nightmare.
Titled "ALIEN NATION," the issue is subtitled
"SECRETS OF THE INVASION: Why government invites rampant illegal
immigration." Indeed, it reveals pivotal secrets very few Americans know.
For example:
Did you know that the powerfully influential Council on
Foreign Relations – often described as a “shadow government" – issued a
comprehensive report last year laying out a five-year plan for the
"establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security
community" with a common "outer security perimeter"?
Roughly translated: In the next few years, according to the
59-page report titled "Building a North American Community," the U.S.
must be integrated with the socialism, corruption, poverty and population of
Mexico and Canada. "Common perimeter" means wide-open U.S. borders
between the U.S., Mexico and Canada. As Phyllis Schlafly reveals in this issue
of Whistleblower: "This CFR document asserts that President Bush, Mexican
President Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin 'committed their
governments' to this goal when they met at Bush's ranch and at Waco, Texas, on
March 23, 2005. The three adopted the 'Security and Prosperity Partnership of
North America' and assigned 'working groups' to fill in the details. It was at
this same meeting, grandly called the North American Summit, that President
Bush pinned the epithet 'vigilantes' on the volunteers guarding our border in
Arizona."
The CFR report – important excerpts of which are published
in Whistleblower – also suggests North American elitists begin getting together
regularly, and presumably secretly, "to buttress North American
relationships, along the lines of the Bilderberg or Wehrkunde conferences, organized
to support transatlantic relations." The Bilderberg and Wehrkunde
conferences are highly secret conclaves of the powerful. For decades, there
have been suspicions that such meetings were used for plotting the course of
world events and especially the centralization of global decision-making.
Did you know that radical immigrant groups – including the
League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the Mexican American Legal
Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de
Aztlan (MEChA) and the National Council of La Raza (La Raza) – not only share a
revolutionary agenda of conquering America's southwest, but they also share
common funding sources, notably the Ford and Rockefeller foundations?
''California is going to be a Hispanic state," said
Mario Obeldo, former head of MALDEF. "Anyone who does not like it should
leave." And MEChA's goal is even more radical: an independent ''Aztlan,''
the collective name this organization gives to the seven states of the U.S.
Southwest – Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Utah.
So why would the Rockefeller and Ford foundations support such groups? Joseph
Farah tells the story in this issue of Whistleblower.
Why have America's politicians – of both major parties –
allowed the illegal alien invasion of this nation to continue for the last 30
years unabated? With al-Qaida and allied terrorists promising to annihilate
major U.S. cities with nuclear weapons, with some big-city hospital emergency
rooms near closure due to the crush of so many illegals, with the rapid spread
throughout the U.S. of MS-13, the super-violent illegal alien gang – with all
this and more, why do U.S. officials choose to ignore the laws of the land and
the will of the people to pursue, instead, policies of open borders and lax
immigration enforcement?
The answers to all this and much more are in
Whistleblower's "ALIEN NATION" issue.
Is there hope? Or is America lost to a demographic invasion
destined to annihilate its traditional Judeo-Christian culture, and to the
ever-growing likelihood that nuclear-armed jihadists will cross our porous
borders and wreak unthinkable destruction here?
There most definitely is hope, according to this issue of
Whistleblower. Although most politicians of both major political parties have
long since abdicated their responsibility for securing America's borders and
dealing effectively with the millions already here illegally, there are a few
exceptions – most notably Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo.
May's Whistleblower includes an exclusive sneak preview of
Tancredo's forthcoming blockbuster book, "In Mortal Danger: The Battle for
America’s Border and Security." In an extended excerpt, Whistleblower
presents Tencredo's expert and inspired analysis of exactly how to solve the
nation's most vexing problem.

Friends of ALIPAC,
Each day new reports come in from across the nation that our movement is surging and more incumbents, mostly Democrats, are about to fall on Election Day. Obama's approval ratings are falling to new lows as he makes highly inappropriate statements to Spanish language audiences asking illegal alien supporters to help him "punish our enemies."

‘Backdoor Amnesty’: A
Republican Chides Obama
To the Editor:
Your July 13
editorial “The Forgetful
Mr. Smith” took a sentence in a letter several colleagues and I sent to the
Clinton administration out of context, so you didn’t give your readers the
whole story.
This letter
requested that the Immigration and Naturalization Service issue guidelines for
removal proceedings in the most sympathetic cases: those that involve legal —
not illegal — immigrants who committed a single minor crime but have been
law-abiding residents ever since.
While this
authority is justifiable when used responsibly on a case-by-case basis, it’s
clear that the Obama administration plans to abuse it. In recent years,
Congress has defeated amnesty for illegal immigrants several times, but this
has not stopped President Obama from trying to implement a backdoor amnesty.
Over the last year, the Obama administration has ignored the will of Congress
and the American people by using executive branch authority to allow illegal
immigrants to remain living and working in the United States.
That is why I
have introduced a bill to prevent the
Obama administration from abusing this power. The Obama administration should
not pick and choose which laws it will enforce. Congress must put a halt to
this administrative amnesty.

“THE AMNESTY ALONE WILL BE THE
LARGEST EXPANSION OF THE WELFARE SYSTEM IN THE LAST 25 YEARS” Heritage
Foundation
"The amnesty alone will be the largest expansion of
the welfare system in the last 25 years," says Robert Rector, a senior
analyst at the Heritage Foundation, and a witness at a House Judiciary
Committee field hearing in San Diego Aug. 2. "Welfare costs will begin to
hit their peak around 2021, because there are delays in citizenship. The very
narrow time horizon [the CBO is] using is misleading," he adds. "If
even a small fraction of those who come into the country stay and get on
Medicaid, you're looking at costs of $20 billion or $30 billion per year."
(SOCIAL SERVICES TO ILLEGALS IN CALIFORNIA ALONE ARE NOT UP TO $20 BILLION PER
YEAR. WELFARE FOR ILLEGALS IN NEVADA, NOW 25% ILLEGAL, IS SOARING!)

U.S.
Taxpayers Spend $113 Billion Annually on Illegal Aliens

America has never been able to afford the costs of illegal
immigration. With rising unemployment and skyrocketing deficits, federal and
state lawmakers are now facing the results of failed policies. A new,
groundbreaking report from FAIR, The Fiscal
Burden of Illegal Immigration on U.S. Taxpayers, takes a comprehensive
look at the estimated fiscal costs resulting from federal, state and local
expenditures on illegal aliens and their U.S.-born children.
Expanding
upon the series of state studies done in the past, FAIR has estimated the
annual cost of illegal immigration to be $113 billion, with much of the cost
— $84.2 billon — coming at the state and local level.

ACCORDING TO SENATOR LAMAR SMITH OF

NARCOMEX, OBAMA HAS CUT ENFORCEMENT BY MORE THAN 60% IN ALL AREAS.
Obama soft on illegals enforcement
Arrests of illegal immigrant
workers have dropped precipitously under President Obama, according to figures
released Wednesday. Criminal arrests, administrative arrests, indictments and
convictions of illegal immigrants at work sites all fell by more than 50
percent from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009.
The figures show that Mr. Obama has made good on his pledge to shift enforcement away from going after illegal immigrant workers themselves - but at the expense of Americans' jobs, said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the Republican who compiled the numbers from the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). Mr. Smith, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said a period of economic turmoil is the wrong time to be cutting enforcement and letting illegal immigrants take jobs that Americans otherwise would hold.
