Kindly forward this e-mail to as many folks as possible and ask that they, in turn, do the same- I am attempting to create a “Bucket Brigade of Truth!” We should encourage everyone we know to watch this important documentary.
Today, October 30, 2014, FrontPage Magazine posted my latest article that focuses on the utterly incomprehensible decision by an overwhelming majority of the New York City Council to formulate legislation that would remove ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents from the prison at Rikers Island and severely limit the circumstances under which members of the NYPD and Department of Corrections would notify ICE about aliens in custody. It would also restrict the way that the Department of Corrections would deal with detainers lodged by ICE. Detainers are documents provided to jails and similar institutions to notify them that an alien in custody is to be turned over to ICE when they are to be released.
Meanwhile supporters of Comprehensive Immigration Reform and similar wrong-headed and indeed, similar treacherous “solutions” to the immigration crisis lay out truly effective strategies to deter other crimes that bear strong similarities to immigration law violations while often chanting the mantra that the only solution to massive violations of our borders and immigration laws is to provide lawful status for these unknown millions of law violators from around the world, who undermine national security, public safety and the aspirations and dreams of Americans accords the United States. The disconnect is stunning!
You may be very surprised to hear what Chuck Schumer, one of the “Eight Gangsters” of Senate Comprehensive Immigration Reform notoriety has to say!
Between the way that the media has been covering the immigration crisis and the way that the administration fails to enforce the immigration laws on the books, our immigration system no longer deters illegal immigration but actually encourages it!
What is ignored by all of the above is the fact that our immigration laws are absolutely neutral about race, religion and ethnicity. Indeed, our immigration laws and our borders are our first line, and last line of defense against terrorists, criminals, dangerous communicable diseases and contraband including heroin, cocaine and potentially, weapons of mass destruction.
Journalists are quick to describe those of us who believe that our border be made secured and our immigration laws enforced as being “Anti-Immigrant.” They also describe those who are opposed to border security and immigration law enforcement as being “Pro-Immigrant.”
How can supporting the enforcement of our immigration laws that not only tell us who to keep out and who to kick out for posing a threat to the well-being of America and Americans but also provide for the lawful admission of more than one million lawful immigrants each year as being “Anti-Immigrant?”
The mission of border security is to prevent aliens from circumventing the lawful inspections process that is supposed to prevent the entry of aliens deemed excludible under
Title 8, United States Code, Section 1182, and include aliens who are infected with dangerous communicable diseases, suffer extreme mental illness and are prone to extreme violence or are sex offenders or are convicted felons, human rights violators, spies, terrorists, likely to become public charges or are likely to work, thereby competing unfairly with American workers and either displace American workers or drive down the wages of Americans who are employed in the United States.
Of course there is far more to the immigration system than simply securing our borders. In reality, the immigration system is comprised of many components as I noted in my July 7, 2014 article for FrontPage Magazine:
On September 17, 2014 CAPS (Californians for Population Stabilization) posted my article:
The importance of our borders and our immigration laws cannot be overemphasized. In the war on terror and transnational gangs, they are our first line of defense and our last line of defense. They are equally important to American workers who are facing unfair competition from foreign workers, aided and abetted by the administration and advocates for “Sanctuary Cities” and Comprehensive Immigration Reform,
On June 13, 2013 I was interviewed by Neil Cavuto at Fox News on the topic:
The interview ran about 4 minutes and is worth watching.
CAPS (Californians for Population Stabilization) posted my commentary that asks the questions all Americans need to ask their political “representatives.” My commentary is aptly titled:
“How? Why?”
In his historic speech before the 3rd Army on May 31, 1944, General George S. Patton said, on the strategy of holding a position:
“We’re not holding anything, we’ll let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly, and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy.”
Pushing back against Comprehensive Immigration Reform is the same as holding position. The time has come for us to advance by demanding that our borders be made truly secure and our immigration laws be effectively administered and enforced.
Comprehensive Immigration Reform violates all of the findings and recommendations of the 9/11 Commission but no one is willing to even consider how the lack of real border security and the lack of real integrity to the various components of the immigration system imperil national security and public safety.
The findings and recommendations of the 9/11 Commission must be the starting point for any discussion about immigration legislation. That commission determined that a lack of border security, including the visa process. and fraud in the immigration benefits program, enabled terrorists to enter and embed themselves in the United States, as they went about their deadly preparations.
Immigration is not a single issue but a singular issue that impacts nearly every challenge and threat confronting the United States today! Simply stated, the immigration laws were enacted to save lives and protect the jobs of American workers. In point of fact, our borders and our immigration laws are America’s first line of defense and last line of defense against international terrorists and transnational criminals.
It is not “Anti-Immigrant” to be “Pro-American!”
Our armed forces are charged with securing America’s borders externally while the DHS is supposed to secure those same borders from within. The failures of the DHS to live up to its half of the equation are undermining the efforts, valor and incredible sacrifices of Americas men and women who serve in our military!
If our government’s failures to protect American jobs by securing our nation’s borders and effectively enforcing our immigration laws concerns you or especially if it angers you, I ask you to call your Senators and Congressional “Representative. This is not only your right- it is your obligation!
All I ask is that you make it clear to our politicians that we are not as dumb as they hope we are!
We live in a perilous world and in a perilous era. The survival of our nation and the lives of our citizens hang in the balance.
This is neither a Conservative issue, nor is it a Liberal issue- simply stated, this is most certainly an AMERICAN issue!
You are either part of the solution or you are a part of the problem!
Democracy is not a spectator sport!
Lead, follow or get out of the way!
