Illegal Aliens Hold American Values? I Beg to Differ!

By John W. Lillpop


In his non-stop and insane promotion of illegal aliens as good hearted, hard working folks, our naive president constantly argues that those coming here illegally from Mexico should be welcomed because they observe values held by most Americans.

Really? Is selling one's five-month old child for a down payment on a car purchase an American value? One that Americans are looking for in prospective citizens?

Yet, that is apparently what happened in Pueblo Colorado recently.

Pueblo Police say they responded to a tip that an infant had been sold by his mother. Police say 23-year-old Nicole Uribe, a Mexican national, sold her baby boy to a couple on February 21.

Court documents show Uribe sold the baby for $10,000 cash. She then put a down payment on a Dodge Intrepid.

“Mom obviously wanted to get rid of the child for one reason or another and these other people were willing to take the child and then there was an exchange of monetary money." said Sgt. Brett A. Wilson with the Pueblo Police Department.

Police say Uribe sold the baby to 28-year-old Irene and 48-year-old Jose-Juan Lerma, who are also both Mexican nationals.

Here:

Oh, Uribe is also on "immigration hold" because she is in America illegally.

Imagine that, by George. An invading criminal with the morals of a promiscuous alley cat!

Still, Uribe did get ten big ones for the brat. And she was able to weasel her way into a
Dodge Intrepid.

Is that how you define "Family Values," Mr. President?

Immigration Reform? Let's Try Mexico's Immigration Law in U.S.!

by John W. Lillpop


Mexico seems to be wallowing in "Do As I say, Not As I Do" hypocrisy when it comes to immigration laws. Successive presidents and foreign ministers of the nation have called for leniency on the part of the U.S. when it comes to Mexicans coming to America illegally across U.S. borders.

Do Mexican leaders practice what they preach when it comes to, say, an American couple seeking a cheaper, slower-paced lifestyle? Not on your tortilla!

Mexico, according to journalist and terrorist expert Dr. J. Michael Waller, has some of the strictest immigration laws of any country, and they enforce them to the letter.

A link to his commentary.
http://www.citizensforaconstitutionalrepublic.com/waller5-8-06.html

Waller informs us that "Mexico has a radical idea for a rational immigration policy that most Americans would love. However, Mexican officials haven’t been sharing that idea with us as they press for the U.S. Congress to adopt the McCain-Kennedy immigration reform bill."

Waller adds: "That’s too bad, because Mexico, which annually deports more illegal aliens than the United States does, has much to teach us about how it handles the immigration issue.

Under Mexican law, it is a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico."

Waller sharpens his point by commenting on the unnerving tendency of some legal scholars in the U.S. to use foreign laws as a reference point for deciding issues in America.

Waller states, "At a time when the Supreme Court and many politicians seek to bring American law in line with foreign legal norms, it’s noteworthy that nobody has argued that the U.S. look at how Mexico deals with immigration and what it might teach us about how best to solve our illegal immigration problem."

And whereas U.S. laws are often cumbersome, complex instruments fathomable only to lawyers who charge upwards of $300 an hour, things are more to the point in Mexican law.

Again, quoting Waller from the referenced link: "Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign visitors and immigrants are:

• In Mexico legally;

• Have the means to sustain themselves economically;

• Not destined to be burdens on society;

• Of economic and social benefit to society;

• Of good character and have no criminal records; and

• Contributors to the general well being of the nation.


"The law also ensures that:

• Authorities have a record of each foreign visitor;

• Foreign visitors do not violate their visa status;

• Foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country’s internal politics;

• Foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported;

• Foreign visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported;

• Those who aid in illegal immigration will be sent to prison."


Who could disagree with such a law? It makes perfect sense," Waller states with unassailable logic.

Unfortunately, very little "perfect sense" is obvious in the ongoing debate on immigration reform here in the United States. Rather, the interests of the American people are often ignored or made subordinate by politicians from both parties.

Of greater interest to some in Washington, D.C., is feeding an insatiable corporate appetite for cheap labor, satisfying a wicked lust for cheap votes, and giving in to an inexplicable drive to promote America's decay into a third-world abyss.

These ignoble interests trump rule of law, homeland security, economic and social stability, and preservation of American language and culture in the minds of some elected officials sworn to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution.

By contrast, Waller notes that Mexican law and officials are focused on numero uno--that being Mexico!

Waller writes, "The Mexican constitution strictly defines the rights of citizens – and the denial of many fundamental rights to non-citizens, both illegal and illegal.

"Under the constitution, the Ley General de Población, or General Law on Population spells out specifically the country’s immigration policy.

"It is an interesting law – and one that should cause us all to ask, 'Why is our southern neighbor pushing us to water down our own immigration laws and policies, when its own immigration restrictions are the toughest on the continent?'

"If a felony is a crime punishable by more than one year in prison, then Mexican law makes it a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico.

"If the United States adopted such statutes, Mexico no doubt would denounce them as a manifestation of American racism and bigotry."

Waller supports his main thesis by citing key articles of Mexico's main
law.

Again quoting from the commentary at http://www.citizensforaconstitutionalrepublic.com/waller5-8-06.html:

"We looked at the immigration provisions of the Mexican constitution. Now let’s look at Mexico’s main immigration law.

"Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society:

• Foreigners are admitted into Mexico “according to their possibilities of
contributing to national progress.” (Article 32)

• Immigration officials must 'ensure' that 'immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance' and for their dependents. (Article 34)

• Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets 'the
equilibrium of the national demographics,' when foreigners are deemed
detrimental to 'economic or national interests,' when they do not behave like
good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and
when 'they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.' (Article 37)

• The Secretary of Governance may 'suspend or prohibit the admission of
foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest.' (Article 38)

• Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the country:

• Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration
authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. (Article
73)

• A National Population Registry keeps track of 'every single individual who
comprises the population of the country,' and verifies each individual’s identity.
(Articles 85 and 86)

• A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number (Article 91).

Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned:

• Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article
116)

• Foreigners who sign government documents 'with a signature that is false or
different from that which he normally uses' are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article 116)

Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as felons:

• Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117)

• Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)

• Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison (Articles 119, 120 and 121). Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico – such as working with out a permit – can also be imprisoned.

• Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population says,

• A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five
thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country
illegally. (Article 123)

• Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico
instead of being imprisoned. (Article 125)

• Foreigners who 'attempt against national sovereignty or security' will be
deported. (Article 126)

• Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered
criminals under the law.

• A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the
foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)

• Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)"


Waller summarizes his review of Mexican law with this statement: "All of the above runs contrary to what Mexican leaders are demanding of the United States. The stark contrast between Mexico’s immigration practices versus its American immigration preaching is telling. It gives a clear picture of the Mexican government’s agenda: to have a one-way immigration relationship with the United States."

Waller concludes his excellent work with a challenge that should be visited upon all 535 members of the U.S. Congress and President Bush as they consider immigration reform.

Waller's challenge:

"Let’s call Mexico’s bluff on its unwarranted interference in U.S. immigration policy.

Let’s propose, just to make a point, that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) member nations standardize their immigration laws by using Mexico’s own law as a model."

Congratulations to J. Michael Waller.* His is a voice of sanity that needs to be heard, especially by inmates wandering the halls and cloak rooms of Capitol Hill and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Of 9/11, Illegal Aliens, and a Muddled President

John W. lillpop


















As America's war on terror president, George W. Bush is perfectly right to be obsessed with homeland security as a means for combating terrorism.

Unfortunately, the president's concern applies only to borders in Iraq and Afghanistan, and not here at home.

Although President Bush has ordered more than one hundred fifty thousand (and counting) American men and women to serve in harm's way 8,000 miles from home, and has spent nearly one half trillion dollars of taxpayer money on the war, he refuses to secure America's borders and to enforce U.S. immigration laws.

The Bush position on illegal aliens seems to be based on the following nonsensical assumptions:

* Only "good hearted, hard working" people cross U.S. borders illegally, and they come only to do work that Americans will not do;

* Illegal aliens share values observed by most Americans: Family values do not stop at the Rio Grande; and

* U.S. borders cannot be secured until a guest-worker program is adopted to relieve "pressure" at the border.

But how can the president advocate on behalf of millions of unknown illegal aliens without the requisite health, background, credit, and criminal checks that must be confronted by legal applicants? Somehow, the president believes that he is able to determine, without specific research, that non-American Latinos wishing to enter the U.S. should be allowed to do so, at will.

Has there ever been a more blatant example of racial profiling?

It is almost as though this president has forgotten that 9/11 even happened.

It is as though he believes that not a single terrorist or potential terrorist has entered America via our unprotected southern border.

Because President Bush refuses to live up to his constitutional responsibility to protect and defend America, even during a time of war, our nation has been invaded by 30 million uneducated, third world, non-English speaking criminals.

Our naive president blithely refers to illegal aliens as "good hearted, hard working" folks who come to America only in search of a better life, but the facts do not support those cliches.

Wasted Lives

As documented in a report by Joseph Farah dated November 28, 2006 and titled "Illegal Aliens Murder 12 Americans Daily," illegal aliens murder an average of 4,380 Americans each year.

In other words, illegal aliens have murdered approximately 21,900 Americans since 9/11. More than seven times the number of Americans who died on that fateful day.

And that does not include the 4,750 Americans killed by drunken illegal aliens every year! That adds up to another 23,725 "wasted lives," since 9/11.

Go here:
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53103


Clearly, politicians genuinely concerned about "wasted lives" should work to secure our borders, enforce existing laws, and deport all criminal illegal aliens.


Los Angles: Illegal Alien and Crime Capitol of America

Some startling facts and figures from the Los Angeles Times and other news outlets should cause any sane person to question the president’s judgment when it comes to criminals from Mexico.

For example:

* 40% of workers in Los Angeles County work for cash and pay no taxes, because they are predominantly illegal aliens without green cards.

* 95% of murder warrants issued in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

* 75% of those on the “most wanted” list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

* Over 67% of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal aliens.
(Mexican births paid for by U.S. taxpayers.)

* Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are here illegally.

* Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

* 50% of gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border, according to FBI reports.

* 60% of all occupants in HUD properties are illegal aliens.

* 21 radio stations in Los Angeles are Spanish-language.

* In Los Angeles County, 5.1 million people speak English, while
3.9 million speak Spanish.

* Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.

* In 1997, the net cost of immigration to American taxpayers was $70 billion. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services received) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a negative number.

* 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

It is well past time for America's elected officials to forsake their illogical concern for illegal aliens, and to focus instead on protecting the interests of the American people as required by the U.S. Constitution.


Illegal Aliens Share American Values?

Although the president is fond of saying that illegal aliens share American values, the exact opposite is true.

Most Americans are not criminals who cross borders illegally and steal public services to which they are not entitled. ALL illegal aliens are!

Americans value the great English language--illegal aliens generally refuse to learn English.

As to the president's mindless prattle about "Family Values," two recent stories contradict that foolishness rather emphatically.

Take the case of Albert Vidal Torres, of Ontario, California. This shining example of "Family Values" has been charged with sprinkling glass and other debris into Chinese vegetable dumplings that were shipped to markets throughout California.

Prosecutors also believe that Torres contaminated the dumplings with seeds, pebbles, and spit. Torres must have left his "Family Values," if he ever had any, at the Rio Grande.

And, yes, Albert Vidal Torres, is an illegal alien. This Third World monster should not have even been in the United States to begin with.

Then we have the story of Jason Okon, a three-year Army veteran who was awarded a Bronze Star for valor in Iraq. This genuine American hero recently returned from Iraq and was in the process of making a new life for himself.

Okon's plans for pursuing the American Dream were abruptly halted by
Armando Martinez-Lozano. According to Okon's wife, Jason was doing some yard work when Martinez-Lozano approached Jason with a knife and said something to him in Spanish.

When Okon told Martinez-Lozano to leave, the other man allegedly stabbed Okon in the stomach and ran away. Okon was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, where he remains in the intensive care unit. He is comatose and on a ventilator.

Martinez-Lozano was arrested by police and jailed on charges of aggravated assault against Okon and the three officers who arrested him.

As with Torres, Armando Martinez-Lozano is an illegal alien.

Yet another third world thug who was able to assault an American hero because George W. Bush does not want to apply too much "pressure" on our borders.

Albert Vidal Torres and Armando Martinez-Lozano are not statistical aberrations. In fact, as noted earlier illegal aliens kill 25 Americans a day through murders, drunken driving, and other violent crimes.

Illegal aliens are "good hearted, hard working" folks whose "Family Values" are as American as baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie. Right?

Perhaps our president needs to educate himself as to the likes of Albert Vidal Torres and Armando Martinez-Lozano.

Or does George W. Bush just not care?


From Baghdad to Arizona: Borders DO Matter!

Iraqi officials have apparently learned something that seems beyond the grasp of President Bush.

Specifically, Lt. Gen. Abboud Gambar, Iraqi commander of Baghdad security, has announced that Iraq would close its borders with Syria and Iran.

What a concept!

Imagine that, actually taking action to keep enemies out during time of war. This could actually mean that Iraq is finally getting serious about defeating the insurgents, thereby bringing some civility to this hellhole.

But what about a guest worker program, Lt. Gen.? Don't you know that by putting too much "pressure " on the border, you will only exacerbate the inflow of enemies into your nation?

At least that is the theory of America's great intellect and war strategerist, George W. Bush.

Of course, the "Bush Doctrine" has lead to America being inundated with 30 million peasants from the third world, but remember, "Family Values do not stop at the border."

And like the third world criminals who have invaded America, the Syrian and Iranian thugs headed to Iraq are probably "good hearted, hard working" insurgents--once you get to know them.

Here is more free, but invaluable, advise from the bully pulpit of George W. Bush:

Rather than securing your borders, why not create a guest worker program for all insurgents now in Iraq, and establish a program that allows insurgents in-waiting from Syria and Iran to come as guest workers?

Mind you, this is NOT amnesty! Never, ever, use the word amnesty when Bush double-talk will do.

Complete the Bushwacking of Iraq by giving all insurgents free education, health care, housing, food, and a path to immediate citizenship.

In short order, there will be more insurgents than Iraqi citizens in Iraq, but at least they will all be fed, educated, and healthy!

Illegal Aliens Are NOT Immigrants!

Those arguing on behalf of illegal aliens and their “rights”
often play word games in appealing to the pride of real Americans.

“Immigrants Built America” and “We are all Immigrants” are popular slogans at pro-illegal alien protests and in jargon used by those who favor open borders, regardless of the impact on America’s homeland security, economy, or culture.

What the anti rule-of-law crowd omits is the crucial word "legal," as in "legal immigrants." While it’s true that we are all descendants of immigrants, it is not true that our forefathers came to America illegally.

America was not built by illegal aliens!

Migrating to America legally is, and should be, a long, drawn-out procedure meant to protect the interests of American citizens. It involves more than simply jumping a fence and heading north in pursuit of free health care, education, food stamps, and other handouts paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

Legal immigration means enduring rigorous hurdles like background checks to detect a criminal background or possible ties to terrorists.

It means medical examinations to detect diseases still prevalent in third-world nations, but long since eradicated here.

It means proof of financial solvency so as to prevent newcomers from becoming a burden on U.S. taxpayers, and

It means passing tests for knowledge of American history and English skills.

Those who have jumped the fence into America in order to avoid our immigration checks are not immigrants.

Rather, they are illegal aliens, with no claim whatsoever to the welcome mat extended to legal immigrants.

Such people do not deserve recognition or sanction by the United States, and should be rounded up and deported as soon as possible, without exception.

Another word game played by pro-illegal aliens is to call these miscreants “undocumented." The implication of this term is that the invaders are simply missing a piece of paper or two, probably some unnecessary bureaucratic red tape designed to keep brown people out.

In truth, illegal aliens have invaded our nation, leaving America vulnerable to undetected crime, terrorism, disease, and financial devastation at the hands of people with no legal or moral justification for being here.

Do not be fooled by word games and euphemistic cover-ups.

People here illegally are illegal aliens. Period!


America Don't Need No Stinkin' Reform!

With all due respect to President Bush and his Mexican handlers and underwriters, America does NOT need immigration reform, comprehensive or otherwise.

What this nation desperately needs is a President and Congress that will apply due diligence on behalf of America, rather than working solely for huge U.S. corporations, illegal aliens, and the Mexican government.

In other words, Mr. Bush, you can solve the immigration nightmare overnight by simply living up to your constitutional responsibility to defend America “against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

Or to put it more succinctly, Mr. President, secure our borders and enforce existing immigration laws. Period!

Forget about “comprehensive” reform, which is nothing more than code-speak for amnesty.

The president is reportedly a student of history. Perhaps he would benefit by boning up on recent immigration history.

Namely:

In 1986, the United States adopted the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) (Simpson-Mazzoli Act, IRCA, and Pub. L. 99-603, Nov. 6, 1986, 100 Stat. 3359).

IRCA was enacted to reduce illegal immigration, which was a problem for the American economy. Three million illegal aliens were granted amnesty as a result of IRCA.

The new law would have worked--if it had been enforced. Unfortunately, both Democrat and Republican administrations have failed (refused?) to enforce the IRCA.

As a result, twenty years later America is saddled with upwards of an additional 30 million illegal aliens.

Most distressing is the fact that the “surge” from south of the border continues unabated, in spite of 9/11 and the threat posed by terrorists.

Apparently the president would have the American people believe that securing the borders 8,000 miles from home is vital to U.S. homeland security, but that securing our own borders is not vital.

And how can that be, Mr. President?

Is it because, in your mind, illegal aliens are “good hearted, hard working folks” simply looking for a better life?

And does that description also apply to the scores of millions of third-world peasants still in Mexico and other Latin nations, thinking of heading north to America?

All are good hearted and hard working? Without a single Jihadist, or potential terrorist, in their midst?

The 1986-amnesty disaster proves that America needs secured borders and rigid enforcement of our laws.

Or, to put the issue in terms even most illegal aliens could understand:

America don't need no stinkin' reform!


Why is it Impossible to Deport Illegal Aliens, Mr. Bush?

President Bush has undertaken the onerous task of converting Muslim dictatorships and theocracies in the Middle East into enlightened democracies.

The president apparently believes that America can, and should, determine the form of government that billions of Muslims live under.

But while our commander-in-chief is downright eager to impose American ideology on billions of Muslims in nations thousands of miles removed from our shores, he is downright squeamish when it comes to defending America's own borders and enforcing our immigration laws.

Most distressing is Bush's assertion that deportation of millions of illegal aliens is “impossible.”

How in the world can it be “impossible” for the most powerful and technologically advanced nation in the world to remove criminals who have invaded our nation at time of war?

Surely the greatest hope for the civilized world in the global “war on terror” is not helpless when it comes to criminals inside its own borders? Some of who are most likely terrorists?

If America is really that impotent, Osama bin Laden and other Islamofascists will see that as great news, and a source of inspiration for continuing their Jihad on the civilized world.

Moreover, if America is unable, or unwilling, to control who enters and who stays here, victory for terrorism and world domination by Islamic extremists are all but assured.

Is that really the message you wish to convey to the world, Mr. President?

The great-unanswered question in all of this is:

Why does President Bush always act on behalf of illegal aliens, rather than America?

Why does he arrogantly and foolishly deny the truth?

Namely, illegal aliens:

* Feed at the public trough for health care, education, food, housing and other vital services to which they were not entitled.

* Overwhelm American hospitals, medical clinics, and emergency rooms and refuse to pay for medical services received.

* Force medical facilities into bankruptcy, resulting in the loss of vital medical services for American citizens.

* Manage to send $30-40 billion a year back to Mexico while dumping their medical bills on the backs on U.S. taxpayers.

* Refuse to learn English, and demand that America provide services in Spanish at considerable cost to American citizens.

* Impede the education of American children because of language and cultural issues.

* Demand driver’s licenses despite being in America illegally, and demand that driver instruction and testing materials be in Spanish.

* Demand reduced tuition rates offered to American students here legally.

* Vote in U.S. elections and alter election results.

* Overwhelm America's penal system, making it impossible to deal effectively with the citizen inmate population.

* Engage in wholesale forgery of vital public documents and commit identity theft in order to secure employment, education, credit, and access to public services.

* Take to the streets to protest pending legislation that would tighten border security and enforce the nation’s immigration laws

* Wave the Mexican flag and scream “Yes, we can!” and “We are America" in Spanish as they march to protest the rule of law in America

* Cry “racism” every time they are criticized for being in America illegally or challenged to learn English and assimilate into American society.

In other words, this corrupt bunch of third-world banditos is under the misguided notion that America has no sovereign rights or borders, and that our great nation should be open to every Mexican peasant that decides unilaterally to squat in America.

And the government of Mexico has violated the sovereignty and borders of America by encouraging millions of illiterate peasants to invade America.

Again, the unanswered question: Why does U.S. President George W. Bush consistently side with Mexico and illegal aliens, instead of fighting on behalf of Americans?


Deport Them All--Including Anchor babies!

Illegal aliens who scheme to have anchor babies born in America just to avoid justice (through deportation) are among the most despicable criminals in our midst.

Only Democrat and RINO politicians are less honorable.

By callously manipulating infants for personal gain, illegal aliens clearly lack the moral values and judgment essential to being good Americans. Unless one is planning on becoming a Democrat politician.

Moreover, the presence of anchor babies gives weak-minded knot heads who favor open borders and non-enforcement of immigration laws a lame excuse for doing nothing.

Again, infants are manipulated for political purposes by those who scream "We cannot split families," when arguing against deportation.

However, that argument is embarrassingly specious.

To begin with, illegal aliens willfully abandon family when they leave their nation of origin, usually Mexico, in order to invade America!

Apparently, "Family" is trumped by dinero when deciding whether or not to jump a fence to pursue the mother lode, AKA free public services, in America!

Secondly, deportation decisions cannot be based on whether or not the offending criminal has a family.

Consider a parallel: Illegal aliens are like bank robbers--they steal property belonging to others. However, when an American citizen is found guilty of robbing a bank, does the presiding judge decide against prison because of concern about separating the criminal from family?

Of course not!

Criminals are criminals, and should be dealt with according to the law, especially when it comes to illegal aliens.

Third: Who says that the illegal alien family has to be split? For illegal aliens with children under 18, it should be mandatory that the entire family be deported!

In fact, because they are the most burdensome to American taxpayers, deporting such families should be the greatest priority of our federal government.

In other words, Pancho, get the hell out and take your moochachoo brats with you!

Finally, instead of trying to rip-off the government with demands for lavish air travel, Speaker Pelosi should work with other Twinkies like Senator Harry Reid to close the anchor baby loophole with respect to children of illegal aliens.


America Needs Redux of "Operation Wetback"

America has not always been governed by a pro-illegal alien president who works on behalf of big business and the Mexican government.

Our CEO has not always been willing to sacrifice homeland security for cheap fruit. We have not always been cursed with a sell out who bases all of his immigration policy on a philosophy of "No Wetback Left Behind."

There was a time when our president really cared about American sovereignty, borders, culture, and language.

The last best example of this was during the administration of Republican Dwight Eisenhower, under whom which "Operation Wetback" was launched.

The following description of "Operation Wetback" is from The Coalition Against Illegal Immigration (CAII).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fifty-three years ago, when newly elected Dwight Eisenhower moved into the White House, America's southern frontier was as porous as a spaghetti sieve. As many as 3 million illegal migrants had walked and waded northward over a period of several years for jobs in California, Arizona, Texas, and points beyond.

President Eisenhower cut off this illegal traffic. He did it quickly and decisively with only 1,075 United States Border Patrol agents--less than one-tenth of today's force. The operation is still highly praised among veterans of the Border Patrol.

Although there is little to no record of this operation in Ike's official papers, one piece of historic evidence indicates how he felt. In 1951, Ike wrote a letter to Sen. William Fulbright (D) of Arkansas. The senator had just proposed that a special commission be created by Congress to examine unethical conduct by government officials who accepted gifts and favors in exchange for special treatment of private individuals.

General Eisenhower, who was gearing up for his run for the presidency, said "Amen" to Senator Fulbright's proposal. He then quoted a report in The New York Times, highlighting one paragraph that said: "The rise in illegal border-crossing by Mexican 'wetbacks' to a current rate of more than 1,000,000 cases a year has been accompanied by a curious relaxation in ethical standards extending all the way from the farmer-exploiters of this contraband labor to the highest levels of the Federal Government."

Years later, the late Herbert Brownell, Jr., Eisenhower's first attorney general, said in an interview with this writer that the president had a sense of urgency about illegal immigration when he took office.

America "was faced with a breakdown in law enforcement on a very large scale," Mr. Brownell said. "When I say large scale, I mean hundreds of thousands were coming in from Mexico [every year] without restraint."

Although an on-and-off guest-worker program for Mexicans was operating at the time, farmers and ranchers in the Southwest had become dependent on an additional low-cost, docile, illegal labor force of up to three million, mostly Mexican, laborers.

According to the ''Handbook of Texas Online,'' published by the University of Texas at Austin and the Texas State Historical Association, this illegal workforce had a severe impact on the wages of ordinary working Americans. The ''Handbook Online'' reports that a study by the President's Commission on Migratory Labor in Texas in 1950 found that cotton growers in the Rio Grande Valley, where most illegal aliens in Texas worked, paid wages that were "approximately half" the farm wages paid elsewhere in the state.

Profits from illegal labor led to the kind of corruption that apparently worried Eisenhower. Joseph White, a retired 21-year veteran of the Border Patrol, says that in the early 1950s, some senior U.S. officials overseeing immigration enforcement "had friends among the ranchers," and agents "did not dare" arrest their illegal workers.

In 1954, Ike appointed retired Gen. Joseph "Jumpin' Joe" Swing, a former West Point classmate and veteran of the 101st Airborne, as the new INS commissioner.

Then on June 17, 1954, what was called "Operation Wetback" began. Because political resistance was lower in California and Arizona, the roundup of aliens began there. Some 750 agents swept northward through agricultural areas with a goal of 1,000 apprehensions a day. By the end of July, over 50,000 aliens were caught in the two states. Another 488,000, fearing arrest, had fled the country.

By mid-July, the crackdown extended northward into Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, and eastward to Texas.

By September, 80,000 had been taken into custody in Texas, and an estimated 500,000 to 700,000 illegals had left the Lone Star State voluntarily.

Unlike today, Mexicans caught in the roundup were not simply released at the border, where they could easily reenter the United States. To discourage their return, Swing arranged for buses and trains to take many aliens deep within Mexico before being set free.

Tens of thousands more were put aboard two hired ships, the Emancipation and the Mercurio. The ships ferried the aliens from Port Isabel, Texas, to Vera Cruz, Mexico, more than 500 miles south.

The sea voyage was "a rough trip, and they did not like it," says Don Coppock, who worked his way up from Border Patrolman in 1941 to eventually head the Border Patrol from 1960 to 1973.

By contrast, in 2007 we are stuck with a president who refuses to enforce our borders and deport the illegal aliens who are destroying America. During a time of war no less!

A Pandemic of Stupidity: Mexico Accuses U.S. of Border Violations

Is Mexico Governed by Complete Idiots?


By John W. Lillpop


With 12-30 million third-world Mexican illegal alien peasants dumped on the backs of U.S. taxpayers, one would expect Mexican officials to keep their mouths shut about border violation issues.

You know, do not bring up a subject that will expose your own criminality and vulnerability.

But Mexico is obviously a land of pandemic stupidity.

What else can one conclude after learning that Mexico's Congress has condemned what it says is a border violation by U.S. workers building a controversial barrier between the two countries?

Here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6390291.stm

Can you imagine-- Mexico complaining about the U.S. and borders?

El stupido!

In order to resolve this issue intelligently, American officials should pose the following questions to the complaining Mexican officials:


* Did the United States violate the sovereignty and borders of Mexico by encouraging 30 million illiterate American peasants to cross the border illegally?

* Did American illegal aliens feed at the public trough for health care, education, food, housing and other vital services to which they were not entitled, and which cost Mexican taxpayers hundreds of billions of pesos each year?

* Did American illegal aliens overwhelm Mexican hospitals, medical clinics, and emergency rooms and refuse to pay for medical services received?

* Did the impact of serving American illegal aliens force scores of medical facilities into bankruptcy, resulting in the loss of vital medical services for Mexican citizens?

* Did American illegal aliens who refused to pay for medical services manage to send $30-50 billion a year back to the United States?

* Did American illegal aliens refuse to learn Spanish, and demand that Mexico provide services in English at considerable cost to Mexican citizens?

* Did the children of American illegal aliens slow down and otherwise impede the education of Mexican children because of language and cultural issues?

* Did American illegal aliens demand driver’s licenses despite being in Mexico illegally? Did they demand that driver instruction and testing materials be in English?

* Did American illegal aliens demand the same reduced tuition rates offered to Mexican students there legally?

* Did American illegal aliens vote in Mexican elections and alter election results?

* Did American illegal aliens overwhelm Mexico’s penal system, making it impossible to deal with the citizen inmate population?

* Did the largest state in Mexico contract with another Mexican state for the housing and care of 15,000 inmates because of the impact of American illegal aliens?

* Did American illegal aliens engage in wholesale forgery of vital public documents and commit identity theft in order to secure employment, education, credit, and access to public services?

* Did American illegal aliens in Mexico in 1986 receive amnesty in an attempt by the Mexican government to end illegal migrations once and for all?

* Did the Mexican government refuse to enforce the provisions of the amnesty, thereby causing the American illegal alien problem to grow ten times greater in the span of 20 years?

* Did millions of American illegal aliens take to the streets to protest pending legislation in the Mexican congress that would tighten border security and enforce the nation’s immigration laws?

* Did American illegal aliens wave Old Glory and scream “Yes, we can!” and “We are Mexico!” in English as they marched to protest the rule of law in Mexico?

* Did American illegal aliens cry “Racism” every time they were criticized for being in Mexico illegally or challenged to learn Spanish and assimilate into Mexican society?

Obviously, none of the above is correct, although each and every item would provide more than adequate justification for military action against Mexico by the U.S.

In other words, this corrupt bunch of third-world banditos in Mexico is under the misguided notion that America has no sovereign rights or borders, and that our great nation should be open to every Mexican peasant that decides unilaterally to squat in America.

Wake up, America! Mexico is a foreign enemy of the United States.

California's Inconvenient Truth About the Prison Crisis

By John W. Lillpop

What a shame that Governor Schwarzenegger's plan for dealing with the prison crisis went down in flames. Perhaps the governor should focus on illegal aliens who make up about 30 percent of the prison population.

Several options seem to be available:

* Force Mexico or other country of origin to reimburse California for the cost of incarcerating those here illegally;

* Immediately deport illegal aliens not guilty of violent crimes; and

* For inmates on death row, expedite their cases for early execution.

Unfortunately, politicians from both political parties are too concerned with the Hispanic vote to do what is best for America.

How much longer can America ignore rule of law and common sense in order to placate a growing voting block? Must we allow these people to destroy our American way of life and values in exchange for cheap labor and votes?

Open Letter to Bank of America

by John W. Lillpop


February 20, 2007


Dear Bank of America:

As a commissioned Notary Public, I recently received an invitation from the Bank of America to apply for a zero percent interest credit card.

After a brief moment of contemplation, I immediately discarded the invitation.

This was not a difficult decision in light of the recently announced B of A policy of offering credit cards to invaders in America illegally.

You will note that I have not referred to such people as "immigrants." That was a deliberate choice of words, because the 12-30 million invaders currently here are, in fact, not immigrants.

Migrating to America legally is, and should be, a long, drawn-out procedure meant to protect the interests of American citizens.

It involves more than simply jumping a fence and heading north in pursuit of free health care, education, food stamps, and other handouts paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

Legal immigration means enduring rigorous hurdles like background checks to detect a criminal background or possible ties to terrorists. After 9/11, who can argue with this immigration screen?

It means extensive medical examinations to detect diseases still prevalent in third-world nations, but long since eradicated here.

It means investigation of financial solvency so as to prevent newcomers from becoming a burden on U.S. taxpayers.

It means passing tests to measure knowledge of American history and English skills.

Those who have jumped the fence into America in order to avoid these immigration checks are not immigrants.

Rather, they are invading criminals with no claim to the welcome mat extended by America to legal immigrants.

By making credit available to invaders, B of A is, in effect, declaring that rule of law is meaningless. Such a policy is not only reckless with respect to the millions of invaders already here, but will also encourage millions of others who have not yet jumped the fence to do so.

Please remove my name from any and all lists that B of A maintains for marketing purposes.

I prefer to conduct my business with institutions that value rule of law, homeland security, and American borders, language, and culture more highly than profits gained from relationships with criminals.

Sincerely,

John W. Lillpop

American Tragedy: Current President Not Worth Celebrating

by John W. Lillpop


Presidents' Day is a national holiday set aside to honor the great men who have served America as president. It is mean to include the current president.

Unfortunately, the current occupant of the White House is worthier of ridicule than celebration.

America is now paying the price for electing a man who is incapable of communicating well enough to pass an elementary speech class.

George W. Bush is the worst communicator on the public stage anywhere in the world right now, and must surely be the least effective communicator ever to occupy, or even enter, the White House.

Frankly, it is embarrassing to be an American when George W. Bush speaks. The man comes across as a clueless dimwit who compounds his problem with an arrogant smirk and haughty manner.

An idiot with a smirk--that is our "conservative" president, all right!

George W. Bush has squandered an excellent opportunity to change the course of history and expunge liberalism from the body politic, perhaps forever. But because of his incoherent speech, bumbling mismanagement, inattention to business, and arrogant malpractice, America has made no progress in winning the war on terror, reforming social security, controlling spending, and the national debt.

During this incompetent man's tenure, America has nearly lost all credibility in the world.

Worse of all, George W. Bush is attempting to convert America into a third-world cesspool by encouraging the illegal invasion of this nation by peasants from Mexico.

Perhaps Bush does so knowing that, by comparison to non-English speaking illegal aliens, his own English will not seem so awful?

This president's dismal performance has given America Nancy Pelosi as Speaker-elect and Harry Reid as Majority leader of the U.S. Senate.

Only George W. Bush could make Donald Rumsfield look like a complete failure, while simultaneously elevating Cindy Sheehan to the status of Nobel Peace prize nominee.

By the time Bush finishes his term, the nation will welcome Hillary Clinton and her legion of leftists with open arms.

Just imagine what a pleasure it will be to once again have a president who can actually speak fluent English. Even if the words he/she speaks are leftist pap, at least it will be delivered in an intelligent and comprehensible fashion.

Were he an honorable man who really cared about America, George W. Bush would announce that he is resigning the presidency, effective immediately.

Bush would then be free to take his "Mission Accomplished" banner and "Spanish for Dummies" book with him and retreat to Crawford, Texas.

Sad to say, but that is really George W. Bush's only hope for any thing approaching a positive legacy.

"Wasted" Lives: 4,380 Americans Murdered by Illegal Aliens Each Year!

By John W. Lillpop


While Senator Barack Obama called the loss of 3,100 Americans in the war on terror "wasted lives," the senator, all of his Democrat colleagues, RINOs, and President Bush choose to ignore a far more outrageous statistic.

As documented in a report by Joseph Farah dated November 28, 2006 and titled "Illegal Aliens Murder 12 Americans Daily," illegal aliens murder an average of 4,380 Americans each year.

And that does not include the 4,750 Americans killed by drunken illegal aliens every year! That, by the way, equals 23,725 "wasted lives," since 9/11. (And about 2,000 more than the "surge" that President Bush has ordered)

Go here:
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53103


Really concerned about "wasted lives," Obama? Then work to secure our borders, enforce existing laws, and deport all criminal illegal aliens now residing in America!

Bush's Border Baloney

By John W. Lillpop

From Baghdad to Arizona: Borders DO Matter!

Iraqi officials have apparently learned something that seems beyond the grasp of President George W. Bush.

Specifically, Lt. Gen. Abboud Gambar, Iraqi commander of Baghdad security, has announced that Iraq would close its borders with Syria and Iran.

Here:

What a concept!

Imagine that, actually taking action to keep enemies out during time of war. This could actually mean that Iraq is finally getting serious about defeating the insurgents, thereby bringing some civility to this hellhole.

But what about a guest worker program, Lt. Gen.? Don't you know that by putting too much "pressure " on the border, you will only exacerbate the inflow of enemies into your nation?

At least that is the theory of America's great intellect and war strategerist, George W. Bush.

Of course, the "Bush Doctrine" has lead to America being inundated with 30 million peasants from the Third World, but remember, "Family Values do not stop at the border."

And like the Third World criminals who have invaded America, the Syrian and Iranian thugs headed to Iraq are probably "good hearted, hard working" insurgents when you get to know them.

Here is more free, but invaluable, advise from the bully pulpit of George W. Bush:

Rather than securing your borders, why not create a guest worker program for all insurgents now in Iraq, and establish a program that allows insurgents in-waiting from Syria and Iran to come as guest workers?

Mind you, this is NOT amnesty! Never, ever, use the word amnesty when Bush double-talk will do.

Complete the Bushwacking of Iraq by giving all insurgents free education, health care, housing, food, and a path to immediate citizenship.

In short order, there will be more insurgents than Iraqi citizens in Iraq, but at least they will all be fed, educated, and healthy!


Whither "Family Values" of These Illegal Aliens?

President Bush's policy on illegal immigration can be summarized as follows:

Only "good hearted, hard working" people come here illegally, and they come only to do work that Americans refuse to do.

Throw in nonsensical statements like "Family Values do not stop at the Rio Grande," and "Not having a guest worker program puts too much pressure on the border" and you have the Bush Manifesto on the Mexican invasion in a nutshell.

You also have a policy so riddled with illogic that most pre-school children would be able to identify it for what it really is--recycled snake oil from an American president more concerned about corporate profit than he is about American citizens.

Mind you, nearly everyone can sympathize with the plight of poor Mexicans. They have been betrayed by the Mexican government, which chooses to dump their problems on the U.S. side of the border, rather than dealing with said problems using Mexican resources.

But a recent study reported that 40 percent of Mexico's residents would prefer to live in America.

How many additional scores of millions of uneducated, non-English speaking peasants can America take in? And at what point does America itself decay into a Third World cesspool?

Unfortunately, Mexico's ruling class has a willing accomplice in the person of George W. Bush who does not seem to give a damn about anything except killing Muslims in the Middle East and killing the American Dream for citizens here at home!

As to the mindless prattle about "Family Values," two recent stories contradict that foolishness rather emphatically.

Take the case of Albert Vidal Torres, of Ontario, California. This shining example of "Family Values" has been charged with sprinkling glass and other debris into Chinese vegetable dumplings that were shipped to markets throughout California.

Prosecutors also believe that Torres contaminated the dumplings with seeds, pebbles, and spit. Torres must have left his "Family Values," if he ever had any, at the Rio Grande.

And, yes, Albert Vidal Torres, is an illegal alien. This Third World monster should not have even been in the United States to begin with.

Go here:

Then we have the story of Jason Okon, a three-year Army veteran who was awarded a Bronze Star for valor in Iraq. This genuine American hero recently returned from Iraq and was in the process of making a new life for himself.

Okon's plans for pursuing the American Dream were abruptly halted by
Armando Martinez-Lozano. According to Okon's wife, Jason was doing some yard work when Martinez-Lozano approached Jason with a knife and said something to him in Spanish.

When Okon told Martinez-Lozano to leave, the other man allegedly stabbed Okon in the stomach and ran away. Okon was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, where he remains in the intensive care unit. He is comatose and on a ventilator.

Martinez-Lozano was arrested by police and jailed on charges of aggravated assault against Okon and the three officers who arrested him.

As with Torres, Armando Martinez-Lozano is an illegal alien.

Go here:

Yet another Third World thug who was able to assault an American hero because George W. Bush does not want to apply too much "pressure" on our borders.

Albert Vidal Torres and Armando Martinez-Lozano are not statistical aberrations. In fact, illegal aliens kill 12 Americans a day through murders, drunken driving, and other violent crimes.

Illegal aliens are "good hearted, hard working" folks whose "Family Values" are as American as baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie. Right?

Perhaps our president needs to educate himself as to the likes of Albert Vidal Torres and Armando Martinez-Lozano.

Or does George W. Bush just not care?

Ship Them ALL Out, Including Anchor Brats!

John W. Lillpop

Illegal aliens who scheme to have anchor babies born in America just to avoid justice (through deportation) are among the most despicable criminals in our midst.

Only Democrat and RINO politicians are less honorable.

By callously manipulating infants for personal gain, illegal aliens clearly lack the moral values and judgment essential to being good Americans. Unless one is planning on becoming a Democrat politician, that is!

Moreover, the presence of anchor babies gives weak-minded knot heads who favor open borders and non-enforcement of immigration laws a lame excuse for doing nothing.

Again, infants are manipulated for political purposes by those who scream "We cannot split families," when arguing against deportation.

However, that argument is embarrassingly specious.

To begin with, illegal aliens willfully abandon family when they leave their nation of origin, usually Mexico, in order to invade America!

Apparently, "Family" is trumped by dinero when deciding whether or not to jump a fence to pursue the mother lode, AKA free public services, in America!

Secondly, deportation decisions cannot be based on whether or not the offending criminal has a family.

Consider a parallel: Illegal aliens are like bank robbers--they steal property belonging to others.

However, when an American citizen is found guilty of robbing a bank, does the presiding judge decide against prison because of concern about separating the criminal from family?

Of course not!

Criminals are criminals, and should be dealt with according to the law, especially when it comes to illegal aliens.

Third: Who says that the illegal alien family has to be split?

For illegal aliens with children under 18, it should be mandatory that the entire family be deported!

In fact, because they are the most burdensome to American taxpayers, deporting such families should be the greatest priority of our federal government.

In other words, Pancho, get the hell out and take your moochachoo brats with you!

Finally, instead of trying to rip-off the government with demands for lavish air travel, Speaker Pelosi (God, that still sounds vile!) should work with other twinkies like Senator Harry Reid to close the anchor baby loophole with respect to children of illegal aliens.

But perhaps that is asking too much?

After all, folks like Pelosi see anchor babies as future voters. Democrat voters!

An Open Letter to Ignacio Ramos

February 11, 2007

Ignacio Ramos
#58079-180
FCI Yazoo City Medium
Federal Correction Inst.
PO Box 5888
Yazoo City, MS 39194


Dear Mr. Ramos,

I am writing to let you know that millions of patriotic Americans are behind you 100 percent and are working to free you from the horrible circumstances in which you are embroiled.

We appreciate that you acted to defend sovereign American territory against invasion by drug-smuggling criminals from the third world. You were doing your sworn duty.

Unfortunately for you and all of America, our president and Congressional leaders have failed to uphold their sworn obligation to protect and defend America against enemies, foreign and domestic.

Had President Bush and Congress been as diligent to their sworn duty as you were, America's borders and laws would have been enforced.

Indeed, if our elected officials had done their jobs, you and Mr. Campano would not have faced the situation that you did.

Rather than being incarcerated, you and Mr. Campano should rightfully be rewarded with the Congressional Medal of Honor to commemorate your heroic behavior on behalf of America.

Trust me, important people in government and elsewhere are aware of your plight, and are working very hard to assure that justice is served for both of you. On a daily basis, there are new revelations that make it clear that you were setup and denied justice, for reasons not yet clear.

Nonetheless, please know of a certainty that dedicated patriots are praying and working tirelessly on your behalf. Do not give in to despair--you will ultimately be rewarded for your service to America.

With gratitude, I thank you again.

Sincerely,

John W Lillpop

America Needs Redux of "Operation Wetback"

John W. Lillpop

America has not always been governed by a pro-illegal alien president who works on behalf of big business and the Mexican government.

Our CEO has not always been willing to sacrifice homeland security for cheap fruit. We have not always been cursed with a sell out who bases all of his immigration policy on a philosophy of "No Wetback Left Behind."

There was a time when our president really cared about American sovereignty, borders, culture, and language.

The last best example of this was during the administration of Republican Dwight Eisenhower, under whom which "Operation Wetback" was launched.

The following description of "Operation Wetback" is from The Coalition Against Illegal Immigration (CAII).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fifty-three years ago, when newly elected Dwight Eisenhower moved into the White House, America's southern frontier was as porous as a spaghetti sieve. As many as 3 million illegal migrants had walked and waded northward over a period of several years for jobs in California, Arizona, Texas, and points beyond.

President Eisenhower cut off this illegal traffic. He did it quickly and decisively with only 1,075 United States Border Patrol agents--less than one-tenth of today's force. The operation is still highly praised among veterans of the Border Patrol.

Although there is little to no record of this operation in Ike's official papers, one piece of historic evidence indicates how he felt. In 1951, Ike wrote a letter to Sen. William Fulbright (D) of Arkansas. The senator had just proposed that a special commission be created by Congress to examine unethical conduct by government officials who accepted gifts and favors in exchange for special treatment of private individuals.

General Eisenhower, who was gearing up for his run for the presidency, said "Amen" to Senator Fulbright's proposal. He then quoted a report in The New York Times, highlighting one paragraph that said: "The rise in illegal border-crossing by Mexican 'wetbacks' to a current rate of more than 1,000,000 cases a year has been accompanied by a curious relaxation in ethical standards extending all the way from the farmer-exploiters of this contraband labor to the highest levels of the Federal Government."

Years later, the late Herbert Brownell, Jr., Eisenhower's first attorney general, said in an interview with this writer that the president had a sense of urgency about illegal immigration when he took office.

America "was faced with a breakdown in law enforcement on a very large scale," Mr. Brownell said. "When I say large scale, I mean hundreds of thousands were coming in from Mexico [every year] without restraint."

Although an on-and-off guest-worker program for Mexicans was operating at the time, farmers and ranchers in the Southwest had become dependent on an additional low-cost, docile, illegal labor force of up to three million, mostly Mexican, laborers.

According to the ''Handbook of Texas Online,'' published by the University of Texas at Austin and the Texas State Historical Association, this illegal workforce had a severe impact on the wages of ordinary working Americans. The ''Handbook Online'' reports that a study by the President's Commission on Migratory Labor in Texas in 1950 found that cotton growers in the Rio Grande Valley, where most illegal aliens in Texas worked, paid wages that were "approximately half" the farm wages paid elsewhere in the state.

Profits from illegal labor led to the kind of corruption that apparently worried Eisenhower. Joseph White, a retired 21-year veteran of the Border Patrol, says that in the early 1950s, some senior U.S. officials overseeing immigration enforcement "had friends among the ranchers," and agents "did not dare" arrest their illegal workers.

In 1954, Ike appointed retired Gen. Joseph "Jumpin' Joe" Swing, a former West Point classmate and veteran of the 101st Airborne, as the new INS commissioner.

Then on June 17, 1954, what was called "Operation Wetback" began. Because political resistance was lower in California and Arizona, the roundup of aliens began there. Some 750 agents swept northward through agricultural areas with a goal of 1,000 apprehensions a day. By the end of July, over 50,000 aliens were caught in the two states. Another 488,000, fearing arrest, had fled the country.

By mid-July, the crackdown extended northward into Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, and eastward to Texas.

By September, 80,000 had been taken into custody in Texas, and an estimated 500,000 to 700,000 illegals had left the Lone Star State voluntarily.

Unlike today, Mexicans caught in the roundup were not simply released at the border, where they could easily reenter the United States. To discourage their return, Swing arranged for buses and trains to take many aliens deep within Mexico before being set free.

Tens of thousands more were put aboard two hired ships, the Emancipation and the Mercurio. The ships ferried the aliens from Port Isabel, Texas, to Vera Cruz, Mexico, more than 500 miles south.

The sea voyage was "a rough trip, and they did not like it," says Don Coppock, who worked his way up from Border Patrolman in 1941 to eventually head the Border Patrol from 1960 to 1973.

Is George W. Bush No Longer Fit for Command?

by John W. Lillpop

Does George W. Bush ever read objective news about the impact that "good hearted, hardworking" illegal aliens are having in America?

Is he aware of the fact that Los Angeles, the illegal alien capitol of America, is now also the gang capitol as well?

Go here:

Moreover, is our out-of-touch president even vaguely aware of the following facts and figures from the Los Angeles Times and other news outlets:

* 40% of workers in Los Angeles County work for cash and pay no taxes, because they are predominantly illegal aliens without green cards.

* 95% of murder warrants issued in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

* 75% of those on the “most wanted” list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

* Over 67% of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal aliens.
(Mexican births paid for by U.S. taxpayers.)

* Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are here illegally.

* Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

* 50% of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border, according to FBI reports.

* 60% of all occupants in HUD properties are illegal aliens.

* 21 radio stations in Los Angeles are Spanish-language.

* In Los Angeles County, 5.1 million people speak English, while
3.9 million speak Spanish.

* Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.

* In 1997, the net cost of immigration to American taxpayers was $70 billion. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services received) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a negative number.

* 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

During a time of war, our president should be acting to protect the American people by securing our borders, enforcing all immigration laws, and by deporting those here illegally.

Why is George W. Bush more concerned about third-world peasants from Mexico than he is about tax-paying, patriotic American citizens?

The big question: Has George W. Bush suffered an emotional or mental breakdown that renders him unfit--or MORE unfit--for office?

How else to explain Bush's mindless drive to destroy America?

A Day Without Illegal Aliens Is---Wondeful!

By John W. Lillpop





Remember the highly-touted "boycott of America" by illegal aliens last fall?

The one that was supposed to shut down America and convert rule of law advocates to open borders devotees?

Instead of shutting down America, the day demonstrated how wonderful life would be with 30 million less criminals in our midst.

In fact, the day worked out so well, I say let's make it permanent!

Some highlights of my "2006 Day without Illegal Aliens":

* Able to sleep in because there were no leaf blowers roaring outside my window and no garders cursing in Spanish at 7am

*Ordered a Jumbo Jack and had my order processed correctly the first time. No need to decline "Yumbo Yack with Cheese" three times!

*Slowed down in front of Home Depot without being inundated by 50 out-of-work illegal aliens!

*Whisked right through the express line at the grocery store because there were no illegals trying to pay for beer with food stamps & not quite grasping the checker's perfectly understandable English explanation that food stamps can not be used to purchase alcohol.

*Saved $15 because the local car wash was shut down

*Was able to see a physician within two hours at the emergency room. Why? Without free-loading illegal aliens hogging the facility, ER can serve real Americans.


A day without illegal aliens was wonderful. This could be the start of something very good!
