This has nothing to do with the ACLU……

Posted on March 25, 2006

….but it MUST BE SAID!!!

Let’s get one thing straight from the get go here, folks. This is a nation of Laws, and we have Laws to codify procedures and policies into a unified code of rights and responsibilities to help in keeping order and to make life equatable for all.

“Equality before the law” does not mean that equal treatment trumps the law, but rather that all are equal in the eyes of the law.

There are laws in place for those that wish to come to the United States, whether they wish to visit or seek employment, there are laws in place for those reasons, and when those laws aren’t followed by all it is unfair to those that do follow the laws, as they are placed under a different set of rules than those that don’t follow the laws, and that creates inequality before the law, which is the antithesis of the system to which our country adheres.

The invasion of over 10 million criminals that have flouted our laws is a travesty of the highest order, and our governments refusal to stem this flow of criminals is an unconsionable act of betrayal on the order of treason in the highest regard. The “sanctuary policies” of many major cities that prohibit our police forces from capturing and handing over criminal aliens to the federal authorities are unconstitutional, as they give unequal protection to an entire class of criminals, protections that law-abiding, legal citizens do not enjoy.

If the hordes of people that stream across our unprotected southern border every single day were in uniform and armed our government, one would hope, would be standing strong, ready to repel the invasion of a hostile force, but instead our government undermans the border and turns a blind eye to the millions of people in this country working illegally, placing undue burdens on our infrastructure and education and healthcare systems.

Thousands of people are protesting today due to several bills in the government that may get passed soon. Millions of AMERICAN CITIZENS should be out to counter these criminal aliens and their supporters, but probably won’t go out to do that, for several reasons.

One is the vast majority of Americans are leaving it to someone else to do. Another reason is that most Americans, I believe, either think that the government simply will be forced to do something about the flood of criminal aliens or that, more likely, it is a lost cause. I know several people that refuse to go because of the very real possibility of violence occurring. The Brown Berets, MEChA and other latino nationalist groups are notoriously violent and unbelievably racist, and it is a dangerous thing to go to a protest to exercise your first amendment rights when you are outnumbered by angry violent groups of people that will attack you when you counter them with the truth of the situation.

The truth of the situation is this:

People that sneak into this country are criminals, and the American people simply want our laws enforced. We don’t care where you come from, what color your skin is or what language you speak when you get here, we only ask that you come here legally and assimilate.

Become an American.

Not a “mexican-american”, or a “french-american” or any other hyphenated american, but simply an American, with a love of Freedom, a desire to live in peace and a willingness to work hard for what you desire and accepting of the personal responsibility that goes along with that Freedom.

Realize that the reason you come here is because this is the greatest country on the planet right now, and living here is a privilege, even for a citizen that is born here, and it carries with it great responsibility.

We are only as strong as our weakest link, and if our weakest link is a class of people that won’t assimilate and don’t work towards furthering the greatness that this experiment in self governance has carried forth for almost 230 years, then we must remove that part of the chain, for that is no longer part of a chain that links us to the past and anchors us in Freedom, but becomes the heavy chain around our neck that will eventually choke the life from us and drag us down to the depths of history, leaving us as nothing more than yet another history lesson that men cannot govern themselves and must be under the oppressive and heavy hand of an elite few that knows what is best for all of us.

That is not the America I believe in.

I hope it isn’t the America you believe in either.

    After a year of lies from the State Department, I finally forced them to give an interview for a K-1 Visa in Warsaw, Poland for my now wife. We have no idea how long it will take for her brother to visit us from St. Petersburg, Russia. We have played by the rules, and laws, spent a lot of money, and now I watch as thousands of illegals protest in L.A. and Phoenix stricter immigration laws. We have 12 million of them, and they are bankrupting our hospitals, welfare system, and other programs. My tax dollars are being used for this outrage! Can a calss action discrimination suit be brought? We should we wait on Visas for up to one year, while millions pour in?

    let’s sue Mexico and Vicente Fox.

    excellent post. Very eloquently put. I particularly like the point on “Equality before the Law”. If they meant equality trumps law it would have been phrased something like “Equality comes before the law”

    Too bad the majority of the opposition will dismiss it as blindly racist without even reading it. Bah on them.

    Scott, it’s my experience that many legal immigrants dislike the illegals simply for the reasons you outlined. Which was news to Democrats and other left-leaning groups in California when the legal latino immigrant population voted overwhelmingly against the drivers liscences and state IDs for illegals thing. Some were even appalled; “How could you possibly vote against something that helps your ethnic/racial group?”

    I guess there’s some considerations that do trump ethnicity and race in the minds of your average Joe and Jane.

    If we don’t put a stop to this, we will bankrupt the country. Not to mention giving people the tacit impression that the law does not matter in this country. Racist? Most people have no idea what racism really is. Certainly not those that toss out the accusations. Want to read a book that foretold of what the ACLU would do in our Society? ‘Piercing the Darkness’, by Frank Peretti. It is worse than you can imagine.

    Kender: I have a post regarding this very issue on my site and I’d love to get your colorful thoughts on it. Excellant post by the way.

    Fellow Americans…

    As thousands came out to support pro-illegal immigration, I attended a meeting in opposition to unfeddered illegal immigration.

    I urge everyone to call your congressman and senators this week and make your voices heard loud and clear.

    It is important!

    Take action!

    Yesterday was a great opportunity missed. Thousand of illegals gathered together, and what was needed was the National Guard, State Police, and County Sheriff. They could have loaded them all up, and after a two hour drive, dropped tham back over the border. Has there ever been a time in our history when thousands of lawbreakers so brazenly defied the law? It would not have even happened during the 60’s.

  9. DeltaFox on March 26th, 2006 4:33 pm

    If there is one thing you do next week, it should be contacting your congressmen and senators.

    It is important.

    SILENCE = ACCEPTANCE
