In Lieu of my usual Wednesday Golden Pig Award, I have decided to post the following instead, as I believe it is important.

What Kind of Future Does America Have?

Elvira Arellano, a thirty-two year old illegal immigrant from Mexico, has been living inside a Chicago church with her son, for the past year, as federal authorities were attempting to deport her. Arellano had already been deported once before for entering the U.S. illegally, but she snuck back into the country from Mexico, had a baby, and then used a phony Social Security number to get a job cleaning airplanes at Chicago’s airport. This past weekend, she traveled to Los Angeles, where she was picked up by immigration agents and escorted to the Mexican border. At the present time, she is in Tijuana (probably waiting for the first opportunity to sneak back in again) while her eight year old son (who is an American citizen by birth [anchor baby] law that needs to be abolished when it comes to those who are here illegally) is still in Chicago being cared for by a church group.

I have to wonder, just what kind of future the United States has, when we have pro-amnesty American citizens who are insisting that our government should allow this woman to stay in the U.S. because her son (No one knows who or where the father is) is American and, they claim, he has Attention Deficit Disorder (how convenient). Lets be honest here, it was Arellano’s choice to sneak into this country illegally, not once but twice. It was her choice to have her illegitimate child here, and it was her choice not to take her son with her back to Mexico, which she very well could have done.

Those who support her believe that she has a RIGHT to live and work in this country and to do so with fraudulent documents (and they call themselves patriotic Americans). Even her American lawyer, appearing on the O’Reilly Factor last night, argued Arellano’s human rights were violated because it is her human right to live in the United States. What a crock of horse manure! I mean give me a friggin break, this woman, far from being a hard working decent “immigrant”, is a criminal. Hello! Twice, she violated the immigration laws of this country, and then to make matters worse, she compounded her crime by committing another crime by using a phony Social Security number. Lord knows how many other laws she may have violated along the way.

Now, we have the U.S. Census Bureau is calling for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to STOP enforcement raids so that they can get an accurate count of how many illegal immigrants there are in the U.S. Census Bureau Deputy Director Preston J. Waite claims illegal immigrants would be less likely to cooperate with the 2010 census count if our immigration laws are being enforced.

We seem to live in a country where the government, the media, and many of our politicians, educators and religious leaders refuse to differentiate between immigration and illegal immigration, which makes it just about impossible to hold any kind of meaningful conversation with those running the country.

President George W. Bush claims that the government has tried an enforcement-only policy and it failed which was his rationale to push for the guest worker amnesty program. I am sorry, but Bush’s claim of trying an enforcement-only policy was merely an “illusion” of enforcement.

There was a time in America when the Border Patrol was part of the Justice Department and the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and they worked hand in hand with state and local police and other federal law enforcement agencies, but under the Clinton administration, all that changed, when it was decided to put the Border Patrol strictly on the border and take away their ability to work the interior.

Part of the Clinton plan, with the assistance of Janet Reno, the Attorney General, and the INS Commissioner, Doris Meissner, was said to be the hiring of thousands of criminal investigators to replace the departed Border Patrol presence, to conduct employer sanctions, and to ferret out illegal immigrants in the interior of the U.S. Of course this turned out to be a lie, just more smoke blown up the hind quarters of the American people. The investigators were never hired and the interior of the United States was left unprotected.

Not one single administration, either Republican or Democrat, in my memory has done anything of worth with regards to the illegal immigration issue despite all of the promises to hire agents, control the borders (which the federal government is mandated constitutionally to do), and so on and so forth. Take a look, there has been at least a ten-fold increase in illegals into this country since 1977.

After the attack of 9/11, and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the Boarder Patrol was combined with U.S. Customs which created the Customs and Border Protection. Customs and INS Investigators were combined to create Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Now for a reality check. The number of ICE agents in the interior of the U.S. is a joke. In some states there aren’t any at all. And today, once an illegal gets past the Border Patrol, they are pretty much guaranteed to be home free. In many areas, there are only three or four ICE agents who are responsible for covering an entire state or several states, which means that the U.S. has no effective internal enforcement of our immigration laws. It is not the immigration laws that are broken (which is what pro-amnesty and “open borders” activists like to say) it is the whole damn system. Our borders are nothing more than a revolving door. If the illegals are caught and deported today, they sneak right back in within a week.

To make the whole problem worse, we have governors, mayors, civic and religious leaders who, either out of a false sense of compassion, bleeding heart liberalism, doing their Christian duty, or a deliberate plan to bring down our country and eliminate our national sovereignty, who tie the hands of the police by declaring their towns, cities or whole states as sanctuaries, where illegals can flock to and live without fear of deportation, ordering their police not to inquire about a suspects legal status. This has led to many of our cities being over run by illegals, many of which are child molesters, rapists, thieves, drug dealers, gang members, and murders.

One such individual is Jose Carranza, an illegal alien from Peru who was arrested and charged with being one of the suspects in the execution style murders of three New Jersey teens, and the attempted murder of a fourth teen. Carranza has an extensive criminal record, and was wanted for several other violent crimes, and yet, because no one was able to, or even bothered to check is immigration status, he was released from custody while awaiting trial for a previous crime, the repeated brutal rape of a little girl for four years, from the time she was five years old until she was nine.

When Carranza was first arrested for the rape, the local police were unable to identify him as an illegal immigrant, or hold him as one due to New Jersey’s sanctuary laws and because ICE was too busy to respond. Therefore the police had no option but to release him. Even after he was identified as a brutal child rapist, he was allowed back on the streets. Had the system worked, what should have happened was that even if the police had not identified Carranza as an illegal, that fact would have been discovered by an ICE agent performing a jail check. Then the ICE agent would have placed an immigration hold on Carranza and he would not have been able to be released, even on bail, into the custody of anyone but the government. In short, Carranza would not have had the opportunity to commit his string of crimes and three young people might still be alive today.

The whole damn government system is busted big time and many in charge, such as police, judges, politicians and government officials, play musical chairs with our laws, deciding which ones they will or will not enforce, while proclaiming how we are a nation that believes in and follows the rule of law, all the while allowing people like Carranza not only to enter our country illegally, but then to be released from jails, once they have been arrested, all across the country on a daily basis all due to the fact that there aren’t enough ICE investigators, the government would rather spend tax payer money on pork barrel projects like a bridge to “no where” in Alaska, then to pay the local jails for housing illegals on holds, and the investigators themselves are overworked and tired of doing many, many hours of paperwork just to try to get one more illegal deported.

What is the result? Many American communities, especially those near the U.S./Mexican border are being financially burdened as their schools are forced to accept hundreds upon hundreds of children of illegals at taxpayer expense. Their hospitals and medical facilities are burdened because our federal government says that the illegals are entitled to free medical and dental care. The illegals are receiving more in taxpayer subsidies such as low income housing, food stamps, etc., than they are contributing. They are depressing the wages of the American middle class as more and more employers are either moving their companies to third world countries, or they refuse to pay good wages and benefits and hire both legal and illegal immigrants at lower wages and no benefits.

We have to watch as our families, friends, neighbors and fellow citizens are slaughtered on our nation’s highways by illegal immigrants, driving illegally. We have to watch as our young people are destroyed by drugs, and we are supposed to silently accept the cost of having our homes broken into, our property and automobiles stolen and our sons and daughters raped and murdered. We are supposed to keep our mouths shut as our children are taught in Spanish in our public schools, all to accommodate those who have entered our country illegally, giving up our culture to foreign invaders.

We are just supposed to shut up and accept it as our president and politicians tell us over and over again how it is impossible to deport all of the illegals that have entered our country and besides, how they are wonderful hardworking individuals who are just doing jobs that Americans won’t do. We are supposed to just shut up and watch as the illegals stream across our border, and throw rocks at our border guards, all the while our elected officials’ scheme and plot ways to get an amnesty bill passed and our president works behind the backs of the American people and our congress to set up a North American union which would end the sovereignty of our nation.

It is time we STOP remaining silent, and it is time we act like Americans and fight back. There is plenty we can do. We MUST put a stop to the rule that says only Immigration Agents can make the determination as to the immigration status of an individual. We need to do what every other country in the world does, and that is to empower our local and state law enforcement, at all levels, to check for legal status. We must start to elect people who have the back bone to get serious about controlling our borders, and the next time the illegals have the nerve to stage massive demonstrations in any American city, demanding RIGHTS that they are not entitled to, WE should demand to see hundreds of Border Patrol Agents rounding them up and deporting their sorry butts right then and there. And, finally, we must demand that our government cracks down hard on employers who insist on hiring legal or illegal immigrants to avoid paying a decent wage and insurance benefits.

This is our country and it is about time we all started to act like it and demand that our voices be heard.
