AMERICANS BEFORE CRIMINALS? RE: S-1348

Friday, May 25th, 2007

President Bush, Senator Martinez, Senator Nelson, Rep Miller, and all other Senators and Representatives:

Is There Anyone in Washington that Considers Americans Before Criminals?
 
Subject:  Illegal Alien Legislation  S-1348
 
For America to even be considering legislation, primarily in support of foreign individuals that are recognized by all Americans as illegal aliens, law-breakers, maybe terrorists, is revolting, disgusting, and a basic betrayal of a nation where law and justice is the foundation.
 
American warriors who willingly defend America, give their lives, body, blood, suffer family devastation, are ignored, have to beg for benefits earned. Illegal aliens that violate our sovereignty, overwhelm our medical structure, crowd our schools, are hazards on our highways, drain our treasury, reflect a threat to America, rate the undivided attention of the United States Congress to reward their illegal activity…hellooooooo
 
What a pitiful, despicable show is occurring in the United States Senate.  It is shameful, confirms common sense is AWOL, and reflects a bunch of ego-centric blow-hards that are destroying America.  The American Legislative Branch approval rating of 29%  is clearly exaggerated.
 
We don’t want another do-nothing immigration piece of legislation that won’t be enforced, adds to the misery of law abiding citizens, and rewards illegal activity. Enforce laws that are currently on the book!
 
It’s time to do the right thing:

1.  Stop illegal immigration at the border, with prejudice if necessary.
2.  Penalize those that hire illegal aliens.
3.  Arrest and deport every illegal alien in America.
4.  Illegals in America have no rights and certainly deserve no rewards.
 
How can Americans muster confidence in government leadership when a bunch of political cowards, unwilling to put America first, are setting the course?

America is teetering on revolt………

Is America Lost Forever?

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

Can America survive two more years under the present Administration and Congress??  Every day it appears more hopeless as those in positions of responsibility in Washington, D.C. mangle any sense of responsibility common sense would expect.

President Bush is a nice man, I believe he tries and I like him, but he is not a leader.  Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Leader Pelosi reflect the attitude of mis-guided missiles…in fact it’s difficult to name any rational member of Congress these days……..or for that matter, see any on the horizon.

President Bush seems to have his head in the posterior cavity of his body as he continues to champion illegal alien border crossers above the security of America…an insult to American citizens…to think we can’t see through the politics is simply ignorant…I’m convinced the President is unable to determine that he is surrounded by incompetent advisors.

Leaders in Congress continue idiotic political battles over war funding while warriors lives are lost, bodies are maimed, blood spilled, widows numbers grow, family devastation ignored…the leadership in Washington, D.C. is cold, callous, and without conscience…how they can ignore the blood of our warriors and family impact while pursuing political games is despicable at best.

President Bush’s approach to immigration is simply condoning illegal activity, betraying American citizens, and is proposing amnesty, pure and simple..why?  He has said over and over “we are a nation of laws” but he cannot muster the intestinal fortitude to enforce our laws…he should do the right thing and begin deportation of every illegal alien detected in America, and do it now.

One only has to total the crime associated with illegal aliens, terrorist plots(read recent plans to kill soldiers at Ft Dix, New Jersey), drain on medical care, safety on highways, melting pot impact, to name a few,  in understanding failure of government to do it’s job…this is not about picking on someone, discrimination, et al., its about the law, about protecting America.

The track record of America of late seems to be one of, start wars, throw the warm bodies in the mix, allow enough to die to create a political issue, start the spin for political advantage in continuining or ending the war, allow the forgotten to continue to die….  Only a radical, catastrophic national event will get the virus out of Congress…….with 435 new Representatives and 34 new Senators last November, many hoped there might be some recognition of reality….wrong, business as usual.

America’s enemies see victory on the horizon as spineless politicians crumble and the white flag is being readied for hoisting……..only this time surrender will be followed by an incalculable cost.  I fear America is indeed lost forever.
