Are We There Yet?

U.S. Congress, circa 2007

Without liberty, law becomes oppression. Without law, liberty becomes licentiousness.

What is this thing called licentiousness? A licentious person is one lacking in moral discipline, one who ignores legal restraint, and one who has no regard for accepted rules or standards. A synonym for licentiousness is “dissolution,” meaning the eventual termination or extinction by disintegration or dispersion. It doesn’t require a superior intellect to understand that without law, our nation’s future is certain, and only the timing of our last sovereign breath remains to be determined for the history books.

The Bush-McCain-Kyl-Kennedy immigration reform bill is not dead. Far worse, it is a Trojan Horse of historical proportions. The proponents are as licentious as ever, forcing their bill through Congress with raw power, despite the fact that a huge vocal majority of American citizens oppose it. The American people are not licentious and they want their existing laws enforced. The power brokers and special interests in Washington, D.C. and state capitols flatly refuse. Their cumulative arrogance is stupefying. The White House’s press statement defiantly said it all: "This Bill Is Alive and Well!”

Are you aware the United States government has suspended its own passport requirements for American citizens who are traveling to and from Mexico and Canada? Our government was reportedly overwhelmed because the passport services we provide to our own citizens were all but unresponsive, but that is not the whole story. Those same government officials now insist they will be able to process a "Z" visa for 12-20+ million illegal immigrants, complete with background checks, in one day – 24 hours. American citizens wait up to three months or longer for the federal government to process their passport applications? Twenty-four hours for a criminal illegal alien Z-Visa and 3 months for an American citizen?

United States' citizens have also been promised that our government will “start” to enforce the law against those who came here illegally after Jan. 1, 2007. Our government expects us to believe that they have the resources, commitment and intelligence to be able to figure out which illegal alien was here before January 1, 2007. If 20+ million illegal aliens are given amnesty, who in government is seriously going to try to distinguish between illegal aliens who arrived during the last two decades - and the next ten million illegal aliens who will soon flood our shores? How are we or they to prove when any particular illegal arrived?

Are you aware the proposed "amnesty bill" actually codifies the right of cities and counties to continue their policies as a Sanctuary City, i.e., to give sanctuary to illegal aliens including probable terrorists, known MS-13 gang members and felons convicted of violent crimes? Or, maybe you have you said to yourself, "Where’s the fence!?" Despite the huge success of the border fence in the San Diego area, and legislation authorizing construction of an additional 700 miles of border fence, President Bush will not allow the same success to be repeated in other geographic areas. Are you aware that the Administration has recently cut the budget for the National Guard’s work at the southern border, even though the government's widely touted program to hire more Border Patrol agents is hopelessly behind in meeting its manpower goals? Enforcement promises are apparently as empty today as they turned out to be 20 years ago, particularly when Border Patrol Agents are incarcerated for protecting themselves from assault and the United States of America from drugs and invasion. Arizona Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano is reported to be elated at the turn of events.

The historical comparison between past Presidents and President Bush has become clear. President Carter tried to convince Americans to accept malaise as the best we could do, or hope for, and to lower our expectations (because we were Americans). Ronald Reagan recognized that government was not the solution to any problem; it was the problem. Ronald Reagan told us we had every right to dream great dreams if for no other reason than we were Americans. William Jefferson Clinton taught us sincerity is everything. When you can fake that, you've got it made. Hillary taught us that meanness don't jes' happen overnight. President H.W. Bush's legacy will likely be successfully snatching defeat in Iraq from the jaws of victory on the recommendations of Colin Powell. How many lives has that Presidency cost the rest of the world?

President G. W. Bush has taken the seat immediately adjacent to Jimmy Carter in the back row of the annals of history. President Bush says that Americans must bow to reality. The “Bush reality” is that because millions of aliens have entered the United States illegally, it is our “duty” as United States citizens to abandon our national sovereignty, give over our national wealth in the form of income redistribution, and support these criminals by providing them the unearned benefits of citizenship with no expectation of anything in return.

Illegal alien migration has been left unchecked for decades. Unrestrained migration is now consuming our national culture and heritage from the inside out. Our government has failed to enforce the law and failed its citizens; American citizens have failed at nothing but trusting elected politicians who it turns out were seeking self-interest instead of our national interest. Now, faced with a national-health crisis in the Rule of Law, President George W. Bush, has chosen to invoke the Schiavo option. Beyond comprehension, President Bush has unilaterally directed the death of our nation’s sovereignty. Arguably, President Bush is convinced that the patient is already brain-dead (Bill of Rights all but a historical footnote) and believes his unconstitutional choice of a “life and death decision” is his “right” to make without regard to the “will of the people.” Not only does the U.S. Constitution not provide a living will, there is a viable and coherent voting electorate, none of whom (with a few liberal exceptions) are more than metaphorically brain dead. United States’ citizens will not (should not) allow themselves to be deprived of nutrition (jobs and security) and hydration (education and faith) in a way that effectively ends their culture and birthright. Senator John McCain, who has every intention of inheriting the national estate from George W. Bush, is more than willing to facilitate George Bush’s descent into infamy. He probably views the situation more as the Kevorkian option.

The simple fact is this: the Bush Administration, and a number of powerful figures in the U.S. Senate (including John McCain and Jon Kyl), have recently intimated in public interviews that if American citizens do not agree to pass an amnesty bill for millions of illegal aliens, they (Congress) will never make an effort to enforce the immigration laws. Congress is already not enforcing the law (any laws). While their threat is both hollow and moot, their threats should be seen for what they are - an extraordinary effort to blackmail the American people by proclaiming defiantly they will intentionally and recklessly fail to perform their sworn duties and defend the United States Constitution.

A very unfortunate trend began some forty years ago. Political entities, with incredible wealth derived from oil revenues or commerce based on cheap labor, began looking at investment opportunities. The result is that today, many U.S. corporations are under the direct or indirect ownership and/or control of foreign governments (such as China and Saudi Arabia) – even the Fox News Channel. Concurrently, campaign contributions have flowed freely to our U.S. Senators through these corporations, in search of favorable congressional influence, both from foreign governments and a potpourri of political action committees with questionable agendas. It would appear that, one by one, the Senate votes needed to pass “comprehensive immigration reform” legislation (which in reality officially begins the dissolution of the United States of America) have been cynically sold by our elected representatives to foreign nations (including Mexico) for campaign contributions.

Isn't it time to take our government back? If not now, then when? The United States should not be for sale by a cabal of traitors whose only devotion is to themselves and who have engineered their own election to public office in an attempt to gain personal access to taxpayer funds in the U.S. Treasury.

In conclusion, imagine a Twilight Zone episode in which the President of the United States asserts that because those in both federal and state governments intentionally failed for decades to control the border, and intentionally failed to enforce immigration or employment laws, we simply need a new law to replace the old law? The Simpson-Mazzoli immigration law was passed 20 years ago and not surprisingly, it promised the same things. The agenda then was unabashedly amnesty. The licentious agenda today is one of national dissolution - nothing less.

The comprehensive immigration reform bill before Congress will do exactly what our Senators claim - it will eliminate illegal alien migration, but not the way you expect. The comprehensive immigration reform law has been written to end the legal status of "illegal alien," and with it the need to enforce sovereign borders. The whole notion of an "illegal alien" will become quaint folklore. Illegal aliens already in the United States will be legal, and those who arrive tomorrow will be legal, and all those who have plans to cross the border into the United States in the immediate future will become legal. Nobody in the United States will be an "illegal alien." All illegal aliens, including felons convicted of violent crimes, terrorists, and violent MS-13 gang members will have temporary legal status. There will be no such thing as an illegal alien, and therefore no immigration problem! There will no longer be a need for immmigration enforcement, deportation, or for that matter even immigration laws. What is the point of all this?

Make no mistake; the new comprehensive immigration reform law has been intentionally crafted so as to make United States borders into "only a momentary commercial and security check point" in compliance with the North American Union - rather than a sovereign demarkation that defines the jurisdiction of the United States and controls the migration of people. What illegal immigration? What could you be talking about?

Calling the Senate Bill an "amnesty bill" is a smokescreen knowingly foisted on the American people, an intentionally misleading point of debate. If you fell into the trap of seeing the immigration reform bill in emotional humanitarian terms, you were "had." You should be angry. The so-called "amnesty bill" is in reality nothing but the next step in an intentional and unilateral dissolution of the borders of the United States of America to advance the North American Union, an act which renders unnecessary any future enforcement of the borders except as it relates to commerce and national security. With passage of the Trojan Horse "amnesty bill," national sovereignty ends and the United States becomes nothing more than a transshipment point between China, Mexico and Canada. The refusal to build the fence, reducing National Guard presence at the border, and the termination of passport requirements between Mexico and Canada are small parts of the larger implementation of the North American Union.

One more time for the record, there is not much time left to be an American. We had better do something very, very soon if we care.

Response by LS:
The politicians (of either party) who allowed the "Mexican Problem" to occur and who now want to grant amnesty to the millions of illegals whom they have allowed to invade us, should be publicly hung in Yankee Stadium.
