Christ was a warrior messiah. He took a whip and drove evil out of the temple. He died out of self-sacrificial love, not weakness.

Let me tell you that I have been to the front lines in this war on our borders, and none of your readers has the faintest idea what is really going on.

We sat out in the dark, on the US side of the border, and heard a woman screaming as she was raped by her coyote (smuggler). There was nothing we could do in the pitch darkness, without the ability to see, and not knowing if the armed drug smugglers we were staking out would shoot us. Until you see the evil brought about by this system that can only be described as 21st Century slavery is ended, every Christian who supports it or profits off it will have to answer for his/her sin.

Importing people to work for a pittance and live in subhuman conditions ought to be a capital crime. The fact that 25% of the more than 24,000 people who cross our borders every day (that’s 1,000 per hour, or between 8 & 9 million for the year 2007). Those statistics are based on the most conservative estimates using Time Magazines methodology from 2004, when the figure was 3.5 million for the year.

It is not very Christian, nor very neighborly to support an illegal act that results in the collapse of your education and health care infrastructure, or that brings a child-rapist to the illegal bunkhouse next door to an American family’s home, whose only crime is being poor. When Christians discuss this issue, I just wish they would arm themselves with facts before they bring emotion and start slinging guilt around.

The facts are incontrovertible that allowing an illegal invasion of the United States will destroy the American Southwest, and very probably wipe out the freedoms we American Christians enjoy, as Muslim Extremists blend in with the so-called “innocent” illegal aliens, and eventually proselytize them. It is not a stretch to picture a revolt in Los Angeles, whose population is comprised of over 50% illegal aliens. At the rate of influx and births, it will be 80% illegal alien within a decade. Whoever has the ear of the illegal alien, who will likely have been granted citizenship by the current politicians, will control California. None of this bodes well for the citizens who live in Southern California now, nor will it improve the life of the poor alien, but it is well on the way to wiping out everything that was once good in Southern California. If you do not believe me, come visit. Oh, and for any who wish to judge me a “racist” because I have a strong viewpoint, I am the only Caucasian in my extended family, and all of them agree with my viewpoint. I am also married to a woman whose family immigrated LEGALLY & every one of them became Americans.

I wish that everything I had written here was not true, but it is, and it saddens me.

God Bless and Godspeed.

So yes, it is an insult to my grandparents (everyone’s grandparents) who gave up EVERYTHING to give their children a better life – and who did so in full compliance with the law – to allow other criminals (that’s what you are when you break the law) to sidestep the valid Federal laws regarding entrance across OUR border.

Mexico doesn’t have the right to tell us who can or cannot come into this country, nor does Canada. This is our country, PAID FOR BY OUR TAXES, and it’s our decision – nobody else’s.

“Mexico Walls”

The walls you build will turn on you
Brick and stone will crumble you
How you laugh but you shall cry
How you cheer at their exile
When the lights blast through the sky
You will remember their sighs
And as you run and plee for them to take you in
They’ll remember your lack of compassion

Mexico walls
Don’t build those walls
Mr. President
Don’t build those walls
Brick and stone will crumble you
The walls you build will turn on you

We’ve got a war in Iraq
And Israel might need us too
Why invest our money
In concrete when people need food?

Mexico walls
Don’t build those walls
Congress
Don’t build those walls
Brick and stone will crumble you
The walls you build will turn on you

Instead, what I view as the relevant considerations are: What policy is in the best interest of the American people.

On that basis, I believe that the laws against illegal immigration must be strictly enforced, and no amnesty.

I would be amenable to a small number of illegal aliens with extremely mitigating circumstances be given amnesty, but the vast majority in my view must be required to return to their home country.

People often invoke the issue of fairness, but it gets you nowhere on this issue. Is it fair that most Americans have a materially abundant life while many in the third world do not? No it is not. But is it fair that people who live in close proximity to the U.S. who are far from the neediest in the world, come into our nation in violation of our laws?

If we had a permissive immigration policy that was based on FAIRNESS, then the illegal aliens currently in the country would not be allowed to stay, rather we would admit the far more needy people from places like Uganda and Bangladesh.

So fairness is a nonstarter on this issue.

I suggest a better basis for deciding policy is to determine what is in the public interest.

In my view the public interest dictates a very low flow of legal immigration and strict enforcement against illegal immigration. I believe a more permissive policy will lead to anarchy and disintegration of our society.

And as far as America’s right to enforce immigration laws, those who question that right are saying that Americans do not deserve the same right to self-determination that international human rights standards say ALL HUMAN BEINGS are entitled to.

And toleration of illegal immigration is not humanitarian. I believe the United States ought to do far more to help the world’s poor, but you can bet if our nation disintegrates due to the anarchy caused by illegal immigration, then we will no longer be a nation that is in a position to help other human beings in need.

Illegal aliens are coming here in masses and are taking advantage of every loophole they can. They are demanding to be given the same benefits that are supposed to be for citizens. They are segrating themselves in large communities and showing disrespect for the American language, culture, laws and traditions and at the same time demanding that we respect their need to preserve their heritage. When an American does this, we are called racists. They feel entitled to our resources and ensure this by having U.S. born children.

This behavoir is new, the immigrants of yesterday knew they had a responsibility to learn the American ways. They didn’t come here uninvited and expect us to assimilate to them, nor did they come here pretending they are doing us the favor of being here.

LaShawn Barber throws down the gauntlet on those who are playing the Christian card in the illegal immigration debate:

Some people make the ludicrous argument that I can’t speak out against illegal “immigration” because I am a Christian. I expect su…

WSJ just had a front page article today about a chicken-processing plant in Stillmore, GA. It’s a long and in-depth article about a complex subject and I certainly can’t do justice to it here.

In short, ICE raided the Crider plant causing them to lose 75% of the 900 workforce.

Since then, Crider bumped wages up by more than a dollar and offered free transportation from nearby towns and even offered free rooms at the company owned dorms. As a result, a lot of the low-skilled AMERICANS have been hired, taking some 200 off the unemployment line. Not since the ’90s have blacks been in the majority at 70%.

But, there’s always a but. The issue is complex for Crider. Not only did the illegals work for less, they worked harder and productivity was high 24/7. The problems with the black workforce is that while some are grateful for steady work with lots of overtime, there are a bunch of whiners crying about how much they should be paid and a high turnover. Also productivity is dramatically lower, causing the legal hispanics to resent most of the newly hired blacks.

No matter what, immigration’s effect on the workforce is not going to be easy, at the same time, having an open border will make it that much harder to come to a happy solution for all.

In your previous post about Tancredo, you wrote:

“Rep. Tom Tancredo, a man who should but will never be president of the United States.”

Never say “never”. The “New media” can override the mantra of the old media and the party establishment types. Remember Harriet Miers. It CAN be done.

Perhaps the Pope ought whack them upside the head and have the priest start exerting pressure for real reforms on their homefronts.
