Senate of Fools and Arizona’s Jackboot Governor

Just coming here to pick peaches?

When individuals simply move from one country to another, this is a phenomenon far different than immigration. Immigration may be controlled politically, i.e., restricted, encouraged, planned, and allotted on an annual or ethnic basis, preferably with policies that welcome the more gifted and talented of the world’s population. What the U.S. is currently experiencing is not immigration, but unrestrained migration of the most dependent, least qualified, uneducated, incapable and socially undisciplined.

While migration is a natural phenomenon, in extreme numbers it becomes a national catastrophe. Instead of assimilating into the culture into which a people moves, as happens with immigration, when an entire ethnic population flees one area and moves into another area, it profoundly changes the political, cultural, and economic make up of the receiving country or area. This phenomenon has happened numerous times throughout human history and never to the advantage of the indigenous population. Ask the American Indians.

Migration is at work all over Europe and the Western hemisphere today, motivated by the self-interest of both the migrants and the “ruling elite” in government and corporate board rooms. What was once only a distant rumble, the migration train is now clearly visible to American citizens who are gathered around, standing on the tracks, trying to figure out how to stop the train before they are run over. Getting off the tracks only surrenders the tracks to politicians, foreign governments and illegal aliens, i.e., those who are profiting at the expense of American citizens. On the current path and pace of unrestrained migration, the entire world will soon refer to Southwestern United States as the “New Mexico,” and France will become the “New Fallujah.”

The immediate economic result of any massive migration is an erosion of the native citizen’s quality of life, educational standards, culture, life expectancy, natural resources, literacy rate and infant mortality among others. Some of the illegal alien poor may profoundly benefit from being poor in a new environment where poverty is richness as compared to the areas where they originated. However, in the long run, a political and economic openness to unrestrained migration (open borders) results in an extreme disincentive to the needed structural change in the countries were the migrants come from. The area being newly occupied reduces to the lowest common denominator in all aspects of human existence, and eventually to the culture from which the migrants originally fled. The original native citizens must either surrender to a new political and economic reality, or abdicate and flee. Hence what is left is the “New Mexico.” If you don’t like the societal conditions you see when you travel south of the Mexican border, stand by. The Southwestern United States is deteriorating toward that standard with the trajectory of a gliding anvil. If any doubts remain, make a short pilgrimage and spend a couple of hours in the vicinity of 35th Avenue and Van Buren Street in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona.

Independently of what "it" is called, migration or immigration, there is a profound reality that must be faced by the media, citizens and politicians alike. A country such as the United States of America, in which 25 to 30% of the population identifies with another country, votes and participates in another country’s election, and remits most of their savings to another economy, cannot be called a sovereign nation. Add to that a “Senate of Fools” who refuse to enforce the laws of the land except in those instances when it becomes a matter of self-interest. The week ending May 19, 2006 saw the U.S. Senate even abandon English as our national language.

What we are watching in real time is the dissolution of the United States of America into a historical footnote. Short of a political insurrection to severely restrain migration, a physical barrier at the border, reinstating immigration law and beginning intense enforcement, soon what was once so great in the history of the world will no longer be recognizable. It will be gone for all time. There is no other possible outcome, particularly when our elected political representatives abandon the "rule of law" in both cultural and criminal matters.

The United States is not facing an immigration issue. Even the phrase “illegal immigration” is an oxymoron. Immigration is legal when it is done lawfully. Migration outside the law and any form of human trafficking is not. Massive unrestrained (illegal) migration and human trafficking are the problems.

Where controlled legal immigration benefits America, uncontrolled migration today is destroying America.

Americans should have expected enforcement of our nation’s laws by our government, but instead Congressmen, Governors, and Judges have sold their citizenship for campaign contributions and votes. The corruption extends from the President of the United States to Arizona Senator John McCain and Governor Janet Napolitano to the Mayor of Phoenix. If Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi were to comment, she would say to us, “I laugh because there is nothing you can do about it.” Americans can only hope she is wrong.

We Americans, as a nation, are at the precipice holding on only by our fingertips. Once over the edge, there is no turning back. There will be nothing that will stop our fall before impacting the bottom, however far down that may turn out to be. The only choices are clear - those choices that preserve the United States as a sovereign entity. In the meantime, the Senate of Fools, the Governor of Arizona and the Mayor of Phoenix, all serving self-interest, are stomping on our fingers with jackboots.
