What Border?

It's hard to argue with a "reconquista" map showing Mexican gains and the United States' territorial losses.

By any military standard, the Mexican invasion has been under way for decades. A beachhead is well established in the Southwestern border states (Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas) and a virulent cancer of lawlessness is speading from these states throughout the nation. Only the most naive American does not understand that these four states are a legitimate war zone with heavily armed invaders crossing the border daily.

Senator John McCain, in Congress since 1987 and acknowledged point man for the Mexican government, clearly champions immigration reform. However, Senator McCain's version of immigration reform can only be defined as willfully ignoring immigration provisions in the U.S. Constitution and current federal immigration laws. Senator McCain views the entire situation from a vantage point of political self-interest and ignores the reality that he has caused, in complicity with other politicians, a growing percentage of the Southwestern United States to be surrendered to Mexican domination.

Judging by the degree to which the Mexican conquerors are being subsidized by taxpaying Americans, Americans have already become slaves, subjugated financially, physically and politically, serving their Mexican masters and the Mexican government. Only the terms of a formal surrender have not been worked out. Congress, under the leadership of John McCain, is working to resolve the final details.

The next logical extension of current events would the succession of Aztlan and its reunification with Mexico. Sheer numbers of the Mexican occupying foreign forces will prevent any opposition. Succession from the United States and reunification will be done in the name of democracy when sufficient numbers of illegal aliens gain control of the American political process.

Two questions and one observation come to mind:
1. Who was the Governor of Arizona and Senator John McCain elected to represent, Mexico?
2. I guess, WE THE PEOPLE, will have to rise up to solve this problem.
3. Why do liberals not realize that illegal immigration is not a victimless crime? Or is it that they do not care?

Seventy-three percent of Americans said in a recent national poll that immigration is a serious problem. The other 27 percent said, 'No habla Ingles'.

It is always a disquieting psychological exercise to try to engage mindless advocates of a lawless, borderless society in Arizona, particularly the likes of Senator John McCain and Governor Janet Napolitano. In those two examples (and there are many others), self interest has closed off all clear-channel access to reason and common sense. Were I to debate one or both, I would need only to point out facts. For example, over 50% of all violent crime and over 70% of all property crime in the State of Arizona are directly attributable to illegal aliens; AZ has the highest auto theft rate in the nation and most stolen vehicles wind up in Mexico; drugs are being “muled" overland or inside tunnels across the border which directly harms AZ society and particularly our children; 50% of taxpayer funding of healthcare is being diverted to medical care for illegal aliens; 50% of state education dollars are being diverted to the education of illegal aliens; illegal aliens receive free education (no federal or state income and property taxes paid); illegal aliens receive taxpayer-subsidized instate tuition at universities; Phoenix has set up two court systems (one for Americans and one for Mexicans), the documented result of which is that Mexicans (illegal aliens) are receiving less punishment than American citizens for the same civil or criminal infractions; many illegal immigrants bring diseases that were mostly eradicated years ago; the next terrorist attack will likely be attributable to illegal entry across an unsecured border; and on and on - all facts, not opinions. Is there any counter argument that would justify continuation of the current border enforcement arrangement?

Does anybody think it is any different anywhere else, in another state? Because politicians intentionally obscure the huge burden illegal aliens impose by their disproportionate criminality, those politicians would feign surprise to learn that 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for murder in Los Angeles target illegal aliens. 75% of the people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants in L.A. are for illegal aliens. A California Department of Justice study reported in 1995, more than ten years ago, that the infamous 18th Street Gang (20,000 strong) is at least 60 percent illegal. Those numbers are far worse in LA today and growing in Arizona. Do you need more? According the LA Times, 40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County has 10 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card. Over 60% of all births in Los Angeles County are to Hispanic females, most of which were subsidized by Medi-Cal and paid for by dwindling numbers of by taxpayers. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal aliens. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking. In Los Angeles County, 5.1 million people speak English and 3.9 million speak Spanish (10.2 million people in LA County). Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration. The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was a NET (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay) $70 BILLION a year. That was ten years ago. Imagine what it is today! The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a huge budget-busting NEGATIVE.

It is estimated that 29% of the inmate population of Federal prisons are illegal aliens and 50% of those are active MS-13 members. In Arizona, as of March 2006, Mexican nationals totaled 11.6% of the inmate population of the AZ Department of Corrections. The inmate health care cost alone, per inmate to taxpayers, was in excess of $3000 each, added to the $50-$100 in expenditures per inmate per day, depending on the level of security needed at the prison or jail facility.

What do we have to look forward to? Mexico ranks number one in the world for disappearances of women, number two in the world for kidnappings for ransom (number one of countries not at war), number two in the world for the number of narco-cartels, and number three in the world for murders per capita. In 2004, 300,000 people rallied in Mexico City to protest kidnappings by criminal gangs, kidnappings that typically resulted in death to the captive even after a ransom had been paid. The police resolved less than one percent of these cases. Even when the criminals were jailed, they easily bought their way out of prison with collusion of prison officials. According to the World Economic Freedom Index, Mexico ranks 58th out of 123 nations in economic liberty (behind 10 other Latin American countries) and 88th in measures of legal structures and property rights.

Is this the future for Arizona citizens envisioned by Governor Janet Napolitano and Senator John McCain? How many victims of criminal rampage committed by illegal aliens will be enough? Would somebody please ask these two Mensa International rejects? (Mensa International is an organization for persons with high IQ’s.)

Few Americans who grasp the magnitude of the harm from illegal immigration being inflicted daily on America would argue with the assertion: Not one state or federal government priority should exist that is more important than stemming illegal immigration. To argue otherwise would be to dismiss a literal invasion and the incredible victimization of American citizens, not to mention the destruction of the American culture. Compounding the problem is weak national security (and none at the borders), desecration of the rule of law, and impediments to the War on Terror. To Governor Janet Napalitano, all of this is somehow less important than renaming Squaw Peak because the term "squaw" is offensive to the Native American population. The AZ State Legislature, while disgracefully asleep at the helm of state for a decade, finally awoke and passed numerous bills to counter illegal immigration in 2005 and 2006, only to have them vetoed or circumvented by Governor Janet Napolitano and her man-servant, the AZ Attorney General. Even voter initiatives limiting social services to illegal aliens has been ignored by the Governor and her staff. Phoenix Valley police departments, presumably at the behest of the state government and city councils, have mindlessly turned a blind eye to illegal immigration and associated crime for a decade, abandoning their own citizens in the process.

The welfare of American citizens should be paramount to every law enforcement officer and every elected citizen representative at every level of government. Were it not for self interest, it would be. Think of it this way – the best interests of every Arizona citizen is by definition what is in the best interests of the State of Arizona. Illegal immigration victimizes Arizona citizens. Since this is not difficult to understand, then realize that AZ citizens are being brutally sacrificed to illegal aliens, tortured both by taxation and crime, and discarded by their own elected representatives in exchange for Hispanic votes.

The AZ state government could divert literally millions, if not billions, to the issue of a wall construction and border enforcement if they wanted to, using only a tiny fraction of the monies currently expended on social services given to illegal aliens. However, the Governor and too many AZ politicians hope to be the beneficiary of 12 million votes of Hispanic illegal aliens - illegal votes today - but votes that will soon become legal votes through amnesty programs. Illegal immigration may victimize Americans, but it benefits Janet Napolitano and John McCain and many AZ legislators. If AZ citizens and their families were anything more than an irritant to the Governor, border enforcement would have begun when she first took office years ago.

Politicians want you to believe illegal immigration is a complex issue requiring thoughtful debate and decades of study. WHAT COULD BE DONE and should be done is to stop illegal immigration over night. According to the retired Deputy Director of the United States Maritime Defense Zone, Southern California, illegal immigration in the States of AZ and CA could be stopped in 24 hours, shut down tight, locked down, and without additional monies and without violence toward illegal aliens. He went on to say, “It's elementary school simple if AZ politicians wanted to stop deceiving their constituency and put the welfare of Arizona citizens and the United States ahead of themselves.”

However, I think you would agree that since past performance is an excellent predictor of future actions, it’s not going to happen anytime soon, and definitely not before another visit or two to the ballot box. Judging from the behavior of Governor Napolitano and President George Bush, it will take a citizen insurrection to stop illegal immigration. I suspect it is coming if the will of the people is not heard.

I would not be surprised to see both Senator John McCain and Governor Janet Napolitano be the first elected officials in the history of the United States to seek residency (political asylum) in another state after their term in office.

Remember this above all else. It is said we are a nation of immigrants. That is not remotely close to the truth. We are a nation of descendants of immigrants, and we are a nation of descendants of legal immigrants. We are a nation with a Constitution and laws. WE ARE NOT A NATION OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, nor are we a nation of descendants of illegal immigrants, nor are we descendants of immigration anarchists.

With illegal immigration so goes the U.S. Constitution and any possibility of the rule of law in America. It is that simple and those are the stakes in this “game” being played. Most Americans have not yet realized that politicians are playing for keeps and have no intention of allowing Americans to win – at anything except servitude and paying taxes.

There is very little difference between the French who collaborated with the invading Germans in World War II and AZ politicians today who are unwilling to protect their homeland and fellow citizens, and seek only to garner wealth and votes by selling their influence and votes to a hoard of Mexican invaders.
