False flags


Si, se puede!

Yes, we can!

We can round up 11,000,000 illegal aliens, put them on ships or into 747s from the bankrupt airlines, and send them back to Mexico, Panama, and Colombia!

The last time America was invaded by a foreign army was in the 1940s, during War II. The Japanese grabbed some of the Aleutian Islands, as part of a feint in the northern Pacific. It’s a forgotten front, but American troops went up there and cleaned house.

Meanwhile, our neighbors to the south have sneaked an army in on us. They have not fired a shot, yet, but they have apparently occupied vast portions of the American southwest, and they are making inroads in major urban areas across our sovereign nation.

I watched the May Day “boycott” with great interest. I have long held a great affection for Hispanic peoples of all national flavors. This affinity is rapidly dissolving into resentment. May Day, the first day of May, has long been the communist/socialist “Labor Day”; a traditional celebration of “the workers.” That was the first PR mistake with this week’s boycott. It also addresses the first lie: that white Americans somehow despise Latinos because of racial differences. The race card has been played early and often in the amnesty debate.

The second mistake was the protesters ignoring their best advice: in spite of the highly-paid PR flacks telling them to leave the Mexican, et. al. flags at home, many of those taking to the streets to demand an imaginary right chose to wave their various national flags instead of the recommended American stars ‘n stripes. The tee-shirts also don't play well in front of the US flag.

This entire issue is fueled by so many lies and false flags that I don’t know where to begin. During the Monday of the protests, a Hispanic activist raised the figure from 11,000,000 to 41,000,000 occupying troops already “boots down” on American soil. The general tone of that person’s argument seemed to be “You can’t send them all back.”

A second lie, and one propounded by my president, George W. Bush [43], is that illegal aliens come here to do jobs “those American workers will not do.” GWB is my president, and while I have stood by him steadfastly on Iraq, and trust him to do the right thing in the future, he is dead wrong on this mojado issue. Before I found my niche, I worked in the chicken processing plants; as a striker in a lumber yard, dishwasher, busboy, sweeping up in general. My first job was $3.00 an hour [a generous wage, well above minimum at the time]. I cleaned the drunken puke of the privileged out of the sinks of pit stops along life’s road. I will not buy the false assertion that “there are some jobs Americans will not do.” Mr. President, you need to get out there and ask real Americans what they won’t do. Part of the American tradition is that we’ll do whatever needs to be done; your daddy knew this, do you?

Sean Hannity posed an excellent rhetorical question Monday night: “If they [illegal aliens] disobeyed the existing laws by coming here illegally, what guarantee do we have that they will obey the new [amnesty] laws?”

The response from one of Those People, a liberal activist, was to shout that earlier American “immigrants” had essentially destroyed the Native Americans, and are currently poisoning the planet by our presence.

That dog don’t hunt. The sins of my ancestors are myriad, by the lights of Those People. My ancestors fought for the Confederacy; before that, they were part of the Western European influx that started the Native American Holocaust. After the War of Northern Aggression, my forebears were among those who finished “taming the Injuns” under the flag of the United States. I’ve run this litany before, but it bears restating here: we also fought for America in the Revolution, the “Civil” War, War I, War II, Korea, Nam, New Europe, and now Iraq. I’ll leave the police actions, and my grandpa’s participation in the Spanish-American conflict, for footnotes.

Despite our brutal, genocidal means of going about it, our immigrant ancestors built this nation. Yes, some of it was built on the backs of slaves. Yes, there were Chinese who got screwed as slave laborers under a euphemism. The seamless, stainless myth of the building of America has long been debunked and exposed. My Irish ancestors were turned away in Yankee land. People still tell Polack jokes today. The only reason we don’t hear Welsh jokes outside of Britain is that they’re such a small ethnic minority. I do not accept the proffered guilt that today’s liberals, radicals, and illegal aliens hand out as rationale for amnesty for lawbreakers. I work in other areas to atone for the sins of my forebears. Two wrongs do not make a right, and I will not support the contentions of lawbreakers.

It was easier to immigrate to America in The Old Days. All you had to do was meet the numerical quota, and pass through Ellis Island, where some harried bureaucrat would probably misspell your name. Earlier, all you had to have was a strong back, and a willingness to challenge and fight those much-maligned Native Americans. Nowadays, the legal immigration process is interminable, and will probably enrich some lawyer along the way. Nevertheless, that’s how it’s done now. Locate anyone who has become a legal citizen since the Reagan amnesty of the 1980s, and that person will probably tell you the proudest day of their lives was when they raised their hand and declared that citizenship oath.

These folks are among those who denounce the lies, false flags, and manufactured “human rights” claims of the illegal amnesty crowd. These good citizens see the signs proclaiming “Your ancestors were immigrants, too!” and think “Yeah…so what?” They stood proudly and honestly at their citizenship ceremonies. Some of them may still be doing the scut work of picking crops or processing chickens, but they do it with the assurance that their hard work and initiative will eventually be equally, honestly rewarded.

Then, there is lie number three: the new legislation will criminalize the innocent. Sorry, gang; you’re already guilty of multiple felonies. This combines with lie #4: the corrupt state of countries in Latin America is driving those people to risk their lives sneaking into America.

A figure often quoted by the amnesty crowd is that 40% of illegal aliens in America are not from Mexico, or indeed, from any Western Hemisphere Hispanic country. An even larger percentage of those unfortunates seek to sneak into corrupt, impoverished Mexico, because even that bastion of institutional corruption is better than the hellhole they’re seeking to escape.

What happens to those who attempt illegal “immigration” into Mexico? They are treated and charged as felons. Women are subjected to rape; their men are robbed, tortured, and imprisoned. Their children are sold into slavery, sexual or otherwise. You do not see those who proclaim “immigration” to be a “human right” protesting these crimes against humanity on the streets of America. You do not see those who wave Mexican flags in LA protesting the government of Vicente Fox’s despotism on the streets of Ciudad Mexico; the Mexican army would be called out to shoot them where they stand.

It’s funny how the political speech for mojados has changed over time. It has progressed from “illegal aliens” to “undocumented workers” to “undocumented immigrants.” Nope. Sorry. Bzz! Wrong answer.

An immigrant comes here and gets documents. A real Social Security card. A legitimate driver’s license, and real insurance on the vehicle being driven. Another lie being shouted is that illegal aliens “also pay taxes.” Yes, when they sign onto a job with a phony SS number, a deduction is made via the perjured W-2 form, and that deduction wanders into the netherworld of a phony, invalid tax account. The lawbreaker will not challenge it; they regard it as the cost of doing their illegal business. That “tax money” is not applied to anything meaningful to support the country that meanwhile gives them countless dollars in medical, educational, and life support.

The answer to this conundrum is not easy. Decent people of all nationalities want to do the right thing as human beings. No one faults anyone for wanting to come to the greatest nation in human history and take advantage of the unprecedented opportunities for self-betterment that are almost inherent here. What raises my blood pressure is that these people are walking into a double-edged trap. If, after paying most of their hard-earned life savings to a coyote [professional border-runner] to get here, they enter the illegal underground and obtain a job at half the minimum wage for citizen-workers in the United States. At risk of arrest and/or deportation for their initial illegal entry, they often operate vehicles without legitimate licenses or liability insurance. This makes them a hazard to every legitimate driver on the road. They cannot purchase medical insurance, so they must depend on the public policy of mercy that governs most hospital admission and treatment.

Do their employers care? Does it matter to them that the people they are so gleefully exploiting are highway hazards and drains upon the overburdened humanitarian infrastructure? I don’t think so. What trumps politics, and makes this a bipartisan issue, is the bottom line: the money.

Those People are always grousing about “McJobs” and the inadequacy of the minimum wage. They accept and promote the lies about “jobs Americans won’t do”. They always support the little guy, until the little guy shows up at the front gate of the estate, asking if the lawn needs mowing. If you have a strong stomach, and need further proof of who is sponsoring the exploitation of illegal aliens in America, go here


I caught this internet address off a sign being flouted behind Geraldo Rivera, a.k.a. “Jerry Rivers” during his early broadcast days, as he reported on the LA protests of Monday, May Day. The sign was professionally printed, and there were a number of them on display in Los Angeles. A visit to the website reveals a leftist political agenda that reeks of exploiting illegal aliens as ruthlessly as the companies that hire them.

I have some proposals. I can’t call them “answers”; because there’s no telling if they’ll work, until they’re tried.

1. Close the borders. This is a sovereign country…a republic; a nation of laws. The law says you shall get into a line, pay your fees, prove yourself by virtue of the dedication of your commitment to this country, and put up with the frustrating, endless BS of the vermin-ridden bureaucracy that governs citizenship. Maybe that set of laws can be streamlined, but they are still laws to be obeyed.

If the borders, both north and south, cannot be closed by conventional or technological means, employ the military. Despite the additional lie that there is not a sufficient military presence because of our deployment in Iraq, and the coming deployment in Iran, there are still plenty of troops available to stand watch on the borders, and render humanitarian aid where necessary.

If the human-based military is inadequate, go ruthless. The East German communists employed automated machine gun nests, watchtowers, and raked minefields that revealed footprints where there wasn’t a decaying corpse to mark the detonated devices. South Africa employed such means, and the rest of the African continent ignored the uncollected [by policy] bodies to seek illegal entry into what was denounced as a pre-Mandela racist dictatorship. Rotting corpses and circling vultures is a brutal message, and will get me denounced by anyone who reads this. I’ve already seen Mexican men, women, and children rotting in the Arizona desert from an aborted border crossing. Maybe a fence, and the threat of mines and pre-sighted weapons, would have deterred them enough to rebel against their treacherous coyote and reconsider their attempt. Decent husbands and fathers would not have allowed their families to go into such assured harm’s way.

Close the borders. Period. Paragraph. Set; match; game. 86. 30. Do it now.

2. Prosecute anyone, big corporation or small business, who hires illegal aliens. They are the ones who are guilty of human rights violations, not those who insist on adherence to established laws. They should be subjected to the most stringent of felony-violation penalties. The peones they exploit for half of minimum wage are victims of their rapacity. The Republicans are wrongfully demonized as “the party of the rich.” This is a non-partisan issue; no one should care whose party card is in the corporate employer’s wallet…he should be busted, and the fullest extent of the law should descend upon his fine personage.

3. One of the trump cards of the new army of the reconquista is “You can’t round us all up and send us all home!”

Rubbish, we can’t! Si, se puede!

Another ignoble moment in American history was our treatment of Japanese-Americans following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. It was wrong, horrible, and amends have been officially made. Some of the concentration camps have been preserved as memorials, in the spirit of Auschwitz. Those who are throwing the dark history of America’s shameful moments up as justification for their demands should remember that dark history more precisely: we did it once, and if the backlash continues, it can be done again. 11,000,000 detainees might require a longer logistics train and more humanitarian infrastructure support than previously recorded in American history, but telling Americans “it can’t be done” is like offering a dare.

It can be done, and it should be done. Clint Eastwood, as “The Outlaw Josey Wales”, said it well to Indian chief Ten Bears: “I ain’t promising you nothing extra…I’m giving you life, and you’re giving me life.”

That’s the real lesson of America. Those of us who arrived here a bit earlier are offering life and hope to those trying to join us. We aren’t denying the life and the hope; we’re just trying to form a line.

Good Ideas.
To me this whole thing is more about lawbreaking than anything else. We don't obey the laws of the land because the cops are going to come and get us,we do it because we have an agreement with the government . They keep us as safe as they can in an orderly well run country and we obey the laws. Paying taxes is one of these things. If 100,000 citizens didn't pay their taxes next April 15 ,they don't have enough agents to come after all of us. But we will pay because we believe in the law even when it is unfair.
So with this deal Our government is giving the Illegal Aliens,they are saying ,"Everyone has to obey the law ,except YOU,the Illegal s." Now what message is going to be sent to the many out there who think a lot of our laws are unfair? Like the seatbelt law and Helmet law,and the Taxes? What about young black kids who are trying to stay out of trouble ,stay in school ,get jobs? They are going to see those jobs go to the Illegal Aliens and it is going to make them mad. And I don't blame them.It makes me Mad. I have obeyed the law all my life. Now I am going to see deliberate lawbreaking right in my face.
We need to send all the lawbreakers back where they came from,we don't owe them anything.

The Libertarian philosophy maintains that the government has two essential aims, Barb. They are supposed to mint money to provide a common medium of exchange, and they are supposed to secure the borders and keep people safe in their homes. The rest is window-dressing and invention by professional politicians.

Right now, the government is failing at even their most basic level. I'm scared!

Just trying to form a line? Well then... where do I queue up? Hmmm. That sounds utterly British. Let me re-phrase. Where do "they" queue up?

The problem of course, is getting 12 million people already here to get in line. I don't disagree mind you... just think it's a real challenge. You almost have to start confronting every person on every street in America and say, "Show me your green card... Amigo!" And boy, you can imagine what the ACLU would say if THAT started happening.

The ACLU is the most dangerous left-wing group allowed to practice ploitical activism in this country.

It's a challenge to take an inventory, but then, is there anything so inherently difficult in asking "May I see your papers, please?"

Most of those oppressive third-world countries have been asking that for years. Failure to comply, or production of false documents, got your head blown off. Here and now, it gets you a pardon and a place at the head of the line in front of those who abide by the laws.

I once chased an entire gang of shoplifting mojados out of a BP convenience store with that simple question: "Do you have a green card?"

They dropped their swag and ran. Now, with the backing of the ACLU, they'd accuse me of a hate crime.

They could start by rounding up everyone at those rallys and deporting the illegals right now. Yes, 11 million seems inconcievable, but every journey begins with one step! Heck, they're already gathering themselves into groups--half the work is already done!

Illegals that have been deported before and come back should be put in jail. Here, for say 3 years 1st offense, 10 for the 2nd. Too expensive? How much more than the drain on civic services PLUS removing them from a life of crime on the streets--priceless.

"Things Americans Won't Do" does sound like a challange--I think we have it in us to clean house!

Rock on possum!

Quite a lengthy, well-thought-out diatribe. You make a lot of good points, but I can't fully agree with what you call "lie" number 4. There absolutely is a lot of corruption in Mexico and elsewhere, which is why a country with sufficient resources to take care of their own...cannot.

I like the idea of checking the papers of those attending these rallies, though...

There is little more to say on the subject. You've covered it completely.
Nice job!
