Welcome to America

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. 

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. 

Send these, the homeless, tempest tossed to me: 

I lift my lamp behind the golden door."

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld summed it up best:

"One thing I love about living in New York is it's every different type of person piled one on top of the other.  I am for open immigration, but that sign we have in the front of the Statue of Liberty, "Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses."  Can't we just say, "Hey, the door's open.  We'll take whoever you got."  Do we have to specify "The wretched refuse?"  Why not just say, "Give us the unhappy, the sad, the slow, the ugly, the people that can't drive, people that have trouble merging, if they can't stay in their lane, if they don't signal, they can't parallel park, if they're sneezing, if they're stuffed up, if they have bad penmanship, if they don't return calls, if they have dandruff, food between their teeth, if they have bad credit, if they have no credit, missed a spot shaving...  In other words, any dysfunctional, defective slob that you can somehow cattle prod onto a wagon, send them over.  We want them."

The Statue of Liberty beckons immigrants to join our ranks. We have heard this quote for years. I have no problem with immigrants coming to this nation legally. There is only a small percentage if you actually do the numbers, that are actually contributing to the economy, seeking jobs, seeking education, etc. I understand we are a lighthouse to many countries around the world. But these men and women sneaking through the back door of our borders illegally are doing this nation and themselves a disservice.  How many criminals have sought asylum within our 50 states, and have found it? These people, if they choose to step on our soil must abide by our nations laws, "learn" to speak the English language (not Spanglish, but English), perhaps seek education, provide for their children, gain citizenship properly, contribute to society like all the rest of it's American citizens. 

This however is not the case. Click here for the entire article.

"Roughly half of those arrested had criminal records for crimes that ranged from sexual assault of a minor to assault with a deadly weapon, to abduction, a news release said. The operation has caught more than 140 immigrants with convictions for sexual offenses against children; 367 known gang members, including street soldiers in the deadly Central American gang Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13; and about 640 people who had already been deported once, immigration officials said. The numbers include more than 720 arrests in California alone."

The scary thought is this article is from 2006. Do you think it has improved?

In April of last year, in the state of California, a law was defeated that would automatically deport an illegal alien for DUI offenses. Now because of that, we have thousands of repeat offenders, with sometimes several repeat offenses, ranging from DUI, molestation, and manslaughter. WHY ARE THESE CRIMINALS ON THE STREET. Not MEXICANS, but CRIMINALS. If you want to know some details on several accounts of Mexican citizens causing DUI related deaths and injuries, which were included in the law that was proposed, click here: Sara's Law, voted against in April 2008

If you took the time to read those horrifying accounts (80 plus) you will see the lack of respect for our nations laws, and human life. We read over that information like it is nothing. Those are lives ruined, and people being killed because our law-makers and judges felt compassion for the poor Mexican man or woman, and let them stay after they  committed some offense. A multitude of fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, friends, and relatives, snuffed out.

You think these politicians that have blocked these laws from coming to fruition actually want the to have them over for tacos. You think they actually have a concern for the illegals coming across in droves. You think they care about them. They care about head counts, and votes. Meanwhile, in small pockets across this country for the past several years, families are suffering loss, and victims are coping with tragedy due to refusal to deport illegal alien law-breakers. Shouldn't the governments own definition of immigrants here illegally flip a switch in their pea brains. "ILLEGAL ALIEN"

The Irish famines in the late 1800's brought thousands of immigrants daily by boat to the ports of New York and Boston. These Irish men and women were treated harshly by the Bostonians, and even worse by the English (Natives). Mexican immigrants have met with the same treatment. But the Irish, they didn't wait around for handouts. Many of them, got off the very vessel that carried them here, and began walking to the Army vessel waiting in the same port minutes later. The Irish, among many other immigrants, joined the "program", the armies, the workforce, and the unions, and they effectively played a large role in building the infrastructure of our great nation. Many got very involved in our new nation. Yes it is true, that the Irish were first organized by way of what some would call "street gangs" in the beginning. These gangs were definitely in no relation to the gangs of today. Gangs in the late 1800's and early 1900's  were all about political agendas, providing protection, and creating a form of representation. Clubs or societies would be a better word in most cases. These Irish weren't killing for initiations, raping, car-jacking, and victimizing people just for the blood lust of violence like we see today in Mexican and African America  gangs. 

When the Mexican government is telling its own people to come here illegally, and we are letting them, what impact has it had on our economy as well? That is why they are here illegally, so they can flee the scene because if they break the law. They can exploit our justice system, and when they are done running their course of destruction, lawlessness, and murder, they can just say "Oh well, it didn't work out here, I better get back to Mexico." It truly is a license to sin! They know deportation, or hard time in a penitentiary will follow. This is the mind of an illegal. You think I'm kidding.

"According to California Highway Patrol statistics, in 2005 21,152 hit-and-run accidents accounted for 340 deaths (9% of all fatal crashes) and 28,168 injuries.  Russell Ahr, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Phoenix office, said “smugglers and illegal immigrants often leave the scene of a wreck to avoid being deported.” - Sara's Law

Again the scary thing is this report is from 2005. It is literally about 80 times worse now. Not to mention the ever increasing, and alarming problem of over-populated jails, (Whos taxes do you think pays for that? Not the illegals)and the rapid rise of Mexican street gangs. The street gang problem is a direct result of having open borders. Why should these young kids, with no family, or money get a job, or go to school when they can steal it or take it by force with 15 of their friends behind them.

God help us not to be selfish with our nation. I'm for offering any immigrant our jobs, health care, freedom, and anything else this nation has to offer, so long as they are seeking out liberty and freedom instead of booze, and victims.
