The enforcement of our immigration laws is critical to public safety and national security.  Our immigration laws are utterly and totally blind as to race, religion and ethnicity.  Furthermore, the most likely victims of transnational criminals are the members of the ethnic immigrant communities in which these foreign criminals reside and ply their “trades.”  As I noted during my interview, ethnic immigrant communities include people from around the world, not just Latin America.

Under the current laws, each alien who is shielded, harbored, aided, abetted or induced to enter the United States or remain illegally is viewed as a separate crime.  The challenge here is to determined how many thousands of illegal aliens were, in fact, potentially shielded and harbored, aided and abetted by Mayor Schaaf’s actions.  It must also be noted that if charges are brought and an individual is found guilty of these crimes, sentencing is determined by stringent minimum mandatory sentencing guidelines.

As it stands, hundreds of aliens who were sought during the field operation could not be found and likely evaded ICE because they had been warned.

Here is the appropriate section of the law that pertains to this matter:

For decades we have been told that “The immigration system is broken.”  In reality, the immigration system has become a highly efficient mechanism that delivers a virtually unlimited supply of cheap, compliant and exploitable labor to employers in nearly all sectors of the U.S. economy.  That same system is efficiently encouraging a massive influx of foreign tourists and foreign students.

In fact, the supposedly “broken” immigration system has created a more efficient delivery system than Fed-Ex or the U.S. Postal system provides. 

This is precisely what the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and long list of industries and special interest groups want- and our government has been all too happy to answer their demands in exchange for campaign contributions.

As the saying goes- “Follow the money!”

Ignorance is not bliss.  Knowledge is power so my article provides some cold hard facts for you to consider and hopefully share with others.

If you like my article I ask that you make a point of posting it on FaceBook and other social media and forward this e-mail to as many folks as you can.  It is important to dispel the lies and nonsense about the true nature and significance of effective immigration law enforcement in this particularly perilous era.

Being “Pro-Enforcement” is not “Anti-Immigrant.”  Indeed, advocates for immigration anarchy are actually taking an “Anti-Immigrant” position by obfuscating the line that separates lawful immigrants from illegal aliens.  To provide a bit of clarity, while we are indeed a “Nation of immigrants” America is not a nation of trespassers.  The difference between an immigrant and an illegal alien is comparable to the difference between a houseguest and a burglar.

Americans must be willing to stand their ground and not be intimidated by the false accusations- far too much hangs in the balance!  We must speak out against mayors and governors who create “Sanctuary Cities” and “Sanctuary States.”

Many people have come to complain that we have become too “Politically Correct” to speak the truth about important issues.  My view is that the artful use of language that has been described as examples of political correctness are in fact, examples of Orwellian “Newspeak.” 

Having invoked George Orwell, it is appropriate to consider a couple of his brilliant quotes:

Political language — and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists — is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I addressed the way that control of language leads to thought control and ultimately a loss of our freedoms in my article for the current edition of The Social Contract:

The Winter 2016 edition of The Social Contract included my article:

Sanctuary Cities Endanger – National Security and Public Safety

By Michael W. Cutler, Senior Special Agent, INS (Ret.) (Winter 2016)

On November 22, 2016 FrontPage Magazine published my article, ‘SANCTUARY CITIES’ VS. NATIONAL SECURITY AND PUBLIC SAFETY: Why ‘sanctuary city’ mayors should be given an MVP Award by ISIS and drug cartels. 

On November 15, 2014 I was honored to join three true leaders in the United States Congress in a panel discussion on immigration- then-U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions and Congressmen Louis Gohmert and John Fleming.  A video of this panel discussion has been posted on the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s website under the title,  “IMMIGRATION WARS: An all-star panel takes on America’s immigration crisis at Restoration Weekend.”

 

The video has also been posted on YouTube under the title- “Immigration Wars.”

The perspectives of these true leaders are well worth listening to.

To provide you with a bit of additional material, during my remarks at the panel discussion, I referenced my June 22, 2007 Op-Ed for the Washington Times, Immigration bill a ‘No Go’ that focused on my concerns about the previous attempt to enact Comprehensive Immigration Reform.  Senator Jeff Sessions quoted from my commentary, on three separate dates, from the floor of the U.S. during the contentious floor debates in 2007 when Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation was under consideration..  In my piece I recommended that Comprehensive Immigration Reform be given a more honest and descriptive title, I suggested that it be renamed the “Terrorist Assistance and Facilitation Act!”  

Discussions about immigration almost invariably focus on the lack of integrity to the border that is supposed to separate the United States from America.  Clearly that border lacks integrity and represents little more than a speed bump to smugglers who transport illegal aliens and contraband including record quantities of dangerous drugs such as heroin and cocaine into the United States.

However, there are many more components to the immigration system including systems by which aliens are granted visas to enter the United States and various immigration benefits such as conferring employment authorization to aliens in the United States and also include the adjudications process by which aliens are granted lawful immigrant status and even United States citizenship.

All of these systems of the immigration system lack integrity.  Aliens who have gone on to commit crimes and even participate in terrorist attacks have often been dissevered to have successfully gamed the immigration benefits program in order to embed themselves in communities around 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.

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.
