February 6, 2014 America Has Lost Her Will to Live By Selwyn Duke
America long ago lost her will to live. Historically, trespassing into another people's territory could bring violence. And nations the world over secure their borders, sometimes at the end of a gun fondled by an itchy finger. But not the US. We place water stations in the Arizona desert for thirsty trespassers, offer driver's licenses and in-state tuition for them, and now a Supreme Court justice has opined that calling illegal migrants "criminals" is insulting. I don't know, what do you call someone who broke the law? "Legally challenged"?
But it's even worse than that. About 20 years ago Japan expelled illegal migrants and made the statement (I'm paraphrasing), "Japan is for Japanese. Others are welcome to come and visit, but they're expected to go home." Under the Mexican Constitution, a foreign-born individual perhaps can be naturalized -- but he can never enjoy the full rights of citizenship. And as would be the case if some tribe of "noble savages" were being overwhelmed by a colonizing people, when millions of Chinese flood Tibet and seek to supplant its ancient Buddhism-saturated culture, liberals are the first ones to scream "cultural genocide!"
Heck, leftists don't even like the gentrification of minority neighborhoods or when an adopted black child is raised by white parents and denied bona fide "black" enculturation. Yet millions of unassimilable foreigners violate the US' borders and sovereignty, sometimes commit further crimes and stress our social services, and we're only supposed to discuss secondary issues. Are the illegals a benefit or a liability economically? Do they contribute more in taxes than they take in handouts? Who'll pick the grapes? But with our bones poised to be picked, can we ask about culture? After all, people make the nation, not the other way around. Import enough Mexicans into your country, and you no longer have Western civilization. You have Mexico Norte.
Yet the very same people who claimed they could orchestrate the health care of 317 million people will insist that "we can't deport" 20 million people. In fact, even though deportation should be reflexive, it isn't even on the radar screen. To suggest it brands you bigot or xenophobe, and the only thing really at issue is the rate of surrender: will it be sudden with full-on amnesty or the slower "path to legal status" -- the coup de grace or the death by a thousand cuts?
So all we hear instead are ridiculous arguments justifying the illegals' presence, as if they have no country to which to return. We'll hear that they're hard-working people who love their families, which is about as meaningful as saying they're bipeds who breathe air. I'm sure that German soldiers during WWII were generally hard-working people who loved their families, too, but as long as they posed a threat to the US, they had to be dealt with as such.
Particular indignation is exhibited when defending children of illegals, who, we're told, "are here through no fault of their own." This also is meaningless. Countless millions of children throughout the world are poor through no fault of their own, yet we don't propose they all be allowed green cards. And how many children"for the children."
Then there's language. Every liberal psychologist will talk about the importance of communication in a family. But what about a national family? India recognized a common language to be such a necessary cultural glue that it actually adopted the tongue of its former colonizer, England, as its co-national language. Meanwhile, Americans stand by while their government prints official documents in foreign tongues and transforms us into a Tower of Babel.

But it doesn't have to be true. It shouldn't be true.
Amnesty, or whatever other sugar coated name it's called by, is a form of unconditional surrender to an invasion of foreign hordes.

Sure we can. And heck, I'd even volunteer to spearhead such an operation.
Why, by the time I was finished you'd swear a Mexican rapture had taken place.

It's crazy, here is Cali they are all worked up about a water shortage. At the same time the PTB are doing everything they can to open the floodgates for more illegals.
As far as I am concerned they've all been hit with the stupid stick.

Either illegals should be deported or strongly encouraged to self deport.
As were Hoover and Truman [quote]Back during the great depression, Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.
Harry Truman deported over two million illegal aliens after WWII to create jobs for returning veterans.
In 1954 Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexicans. The program was called Operation Wetback. It was done so WWII and Korean veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took two years, but they deported them! [/quote} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Repatriation
Don't forget the illegals who did not tromp across our southern or northern borders but are here as visa overstays. Think H-1B Stem workers. Yes American IT people have to complete with not only guest workers who often pay no or very partial taxes, off shore workers, but also illegal aliens.

I suspect they've all been hit by the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ stick. Short term there are lots of $$, pesos, rupees, and votes to be made from illegals. The illegals are also very useful in promoting the statist agenda.
Zitat"When we hang the capitalists, they will sell us the rope we use," is a phrase often attributed to Lenin(and occasionally to Stalin.) What both couldn't have known was that one day a perverse America would tie the rope around her own neck and jump off that ism-fashioned stool into the abyss of civilizations past.
