Illegal Alien Issues

“While Romney's views on immigration are wildly popular with Americans, they are extremely unpopular with the Republican Establishment sucking up to business interests -- Bush, Rove, McCain, Huckabee, Perry, Gingrich, Giuliani, Krauthammer, Kristol, Gillespie, etc, etc. (Maybe it's the Establishment that's been calling Romney ‘Establishment’) … The truth is, a tough stance on illegal immigration can only help Romney, not only with the vast majority of Americans, but with any Latino voters who would ever possibly consider voting Republican in the first place. As Romney said in one of the early debates, Republicans appeal to Latinos ‘by telling them what they know in their heart, which is they or their ancestors did not come here for a handout. If they came here for a handout, they'd be voting for Democrats. They came here for opportunity and freedom. And that's what we represent’ … These are our Latinos -- the ones, as Romney said, who came here for opportunity and freedom. Any race-mongering, welfare-collecting, ethnic-identity rabble-rousers are voting for the Democrat.” (4/26/12)

“Regrettably, the announcement by DHS is the latest in a long list of government inaction when it comes to enforcing America’s immigration and criminal laws.  This form of selective enforcement also ignores the harm illegal immigration poses on citizens and legal immigrants alike … DHS is choosing to ignore the fact that all illegal aliens are actively committing a crime under federal law … DOJ has failed to bring charges against illegal aliens who commit identity theft even though American citizens and legal immigrants are daily harmed by these crimes … It is no wonder the American people are so frustrated by illegal immigration. Their government is daily ignoring the law and the harm illegal immigration is posing on the country.” (11/21/11)

“It seems incredible in a country supposedly ruled by law and not men that an institution, regardless of what kind of institution, is permitted to exist while openly, willfully, and without shame encouraging and profiteering off of violations of federal law. Yet, that seems to be the case with the SEIU time and time again. Last year, the SEIU organized protests against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (better known as ICE) for the agency’s enforcement of the law … However, if he doesn’t want illegals rounded up for being—well…illegal—it seems Eliseo Medina doesn’t want employers to comply with the law either …E-Verify is a government-run system that many employers are using to verify whether job applicants are legally permitted to work … Wait a minute! So, Medina knows there are illegals employed unlawfully, and he doesn’t want them identified? No. Of course not.” (2/15/11)

“In a speech to a security conference in Munich, British Prime Minister David Cameron declared state multiculturalism a failure … When critics of multiculturalism and unbridled immigration warned of the inevitability of a loss of nationhood and national identity, they were denounced as alarmists, even racists … Powell argued that when it comes to multiculturalism and immigration, Britain had failed in that mandate … In 1968, Britain still had time to reverse course, but because its leaders didn't want to be called ‘racists’ … the floodgates were left open. It may be too late for Britain, as it may be too late for France and Germany. It isn't too late for the United States, though it is getting close. Too many American leaders suffer from the same weak-kneed syndrome that has gripped Britain. Who will tell immigrants to America that the days of multiculturalism are over and if they want to come to America, they must do so legally and expect to become Americans with no hyphens, no allegiance to another country, and no agenda other than the improvement of the United States?” (2/10/11)

"Okay, here is the cold, hard truth. The collective efforts of county law enforcement, BLM Rangers, U.S. Border Patrol and concerned citizen-soldiers (read, “Militia”) are currently as effective in stopping this criminal invasion of our country as attempting to bail out the ocean with a Dixie cup. The reports from mainstream media are almost criminal themselves because of their lack of intensity. Make no mistake about it dear reader, your country has been, and continues to be, invaded by a vast army of violent criminals intent on ruling through brutality and intimidation. This is not because they are Mexican, or Guatemalan, or Colombian. It is because they are criminals with a criminal mindset. Citizens and police officers just south of the border now live under the constant threat of sudden and violent murder ... The violence amongst cartels for ultimate control rages with no concern for collateral damage … And just like every other criminal atrocity throughout history, ignoring it will only ensure that it gets worse.” (11/29/10)

“Once again, as in health care ‘reform’ and financial services ‘reform’, the Obama regime seeks to mislead the public by masking the reality the public opposes (amnesty for illegals) with soothing lies about helping poor ‘students.’ Allowing voted-out congress members to enact this travesty in the lame duck session adds insult to injury. Defeat the DREAM Act nightmare.” (11/27/10)

“We are a uniquely humane and generous country, but very few people who understand the real costs would endorse these expenditures. It has little to do with the fact that they are foreigners or the color of their skin. It has everything to do with them being here illegally, and, while we are a humane country, we are also a country of laws. Illegal aliens, by definition, are not following the process and are not abiding by our laws. Canada and the United States are the only advanced economies that still grant citizenship to babies born of illegal immigrants. 164 countries have eliminated this benefit … We should eliminate anchor babies because it is the correct public policy for our citizens, and an expression of fairness to all of the people who aspire to become American citizens.” (9/14/10)

“Imagine for a moment that you are a property owner whose neighborhood has been repeatedly victimized by acts of trespassing, theft, murder, and other forms of criminal violence ... For months, heck, for years, you and your neighbors have repeatedly contacted local law enforcement authorities to report the crimes against your property, and for years you have been told that help is on the way. But help never comes … Overcome by frustration and growing fear and convinced of no other options, neighborhood residents decide to take matters into their own hands in order to protect themselves … the police announce they are bringing suit against the residents for illegally usurping the role of law enforcement. ‘If your lives and property are being threatened,’ so the argument goes, ‘the only entity legally authorized to protect you is us, the police. Whether or not we choose to actually protect you is irrelevant; you have no right to take action on your own behalf.’ Such a scenario is ludicrous, yet this is exactly what's happening in Arizona ... Not only is this a gross example of federal bureaucratic arrogance run amok, it is a severe assault on the Constitution and our republic.” (7/25/10)

“And this is approaching an existential crisis for America. For there are in Arizona 450,000 illegal aliens, a population of law-breakers in a single state approaching the size of the entire U.S. Army … In communist countries in the Cold War, all understood that the government did not represent the people. The state was at war with the nation. That idea is taking root in America -- the idea that our government no longer seeks to represent us. And as one watches Obama and Congress take the side of a foreign leader attacking an American state, and the government refuse to do its duty and defend the borders or send the illegals back home, questions arise. In this ongoing invasion of the United States that has brought 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens into our midst, whose side is the government on? Ours or theirs? What is the reason for the refusal to secure our border … Is the real objective the abolition of the old America we grew up in?” (7/13/10)

“The reason the Obama Administration does not want to enforce our immigration laws is that they want to make Democratic slaves (voters) of these illegal immigrants by granting them amnesty … the majority of Americans support Arizona's new law and believe illegal immigration is a problem that will not be solved by granting millions of illegals undeserved legal status … what is an undeniable truth is that illegal immigration is wreaking financial havoc on the American healthcare system, already bloated and wasteful social welfare programs and criminal justice systems in border states, and, as always, the American taxpayers are getting stuck with this very expensive bill … Don't forget this when you enter the voting booth this November and forever more … Make no mistake, we have been invaded by 10 million to 15 million illegals and we have virtually done nothing to stop it … Attempting to smear someone as being racist when they are not is real and vicious racism on parade for everyone to witness … It is time for we the people to raise a new level of hell, demanding our government perform its duties and take whatever means necessary to stop the invasion. Fences, National Guard and orders to halt the law breakers. Now would be a good time.” (6/13/10)

“That's right, boys and girls. The United States liberated Mexico from France. And wearing the flag of Mexico's liberator from France, the United States, should therefore be seen on Cinco de Mayo as a pro-Mexican, pro-freedom gesture that any educated Mexican or Mexican-American would applaud. Instead, in San Diego schools many classrooms reportedly no longer say the morning Pledge of Allegiance because it evokes hostile reactions from the large number of illegal aliens in those classrooms. These Mexican students are receiving a very liberal collectivist education paid for by American taxpayers whose ancestors came from every land, including Mexico (where no such generosity or rights are granted to its illegal aliens).” (5/9/10)

“Isn't it interesting that the people yelling the loudest about the imminent racial profiling that will occur under the new Arizona law are the very ones who are profiling the tea party protestors as domestic terrorists? These egghead elitists stereotyping the protestors don't have a clue what makes people tick or, apparently, what infuriates increasing numbers of Americans about a federal government that is at war with their freedoms and their pocketbooks … It's time that demagogic politicians quit stoking the flames of racial disharmony every other time American citizens try to protect themselves and their rights.” (5/8/10)

“In a few more years, 2027, one in five Frenchmen will be Muslim. If we extrapolate, we find that in about 40 years, France will be an Islamic Republic. Nearly 50% of all children born in the Netherlands today are Muslim; and in about 15 years half the population of the Netherlands will be Muslim … So what conclusion is to be drawn from all this? It is stark: in less than 20 years, one third of all European children born will be born to Muslim families. Germany expects to be a Muslim state by the year 2050. Some who now reside in Europe refer to it as Eurabia … If the average American citizen is content with this state of affairs, then nothing need be done. But for those of us who want to put a stop to these dangerous trends, there are several things that can and should be done.” (5/4/10)

“With the support of 70 percent of its citizens, Arizona has ordered sheriffs and police to secure the border and remove illegal aliens, half a million of whom now reside there. Arizona acted because the U.S. government has abdicated its constitutional duty to protect the states from invasion and refuses to enforce America's immigration laws. ‘We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act,’ said Gov. Jan Brewer. ‘But decades of inaction and misguided policy have created an unacceptable situation. We have a crisis in Arizona because we have a failed state in Washington.’ What is the response of Barack Obama, who took an oath to see to it that federal laws are faithfully executed? He is siding with the law-breakers. He is pandering to the ethnic lobbies … If Arizona does not get control of the border and stop the invasion, U.S. citizens will stop coming to Arizona and will begin to depart, as they are already fleeing California.” (4/27/10)

“In his State of the Union speech two weeks ago, President Obama claimed that he would strengthen border security. Oh really? I might not be as wise as Mr. Obama, but I’m not sure how removing $319 million in border security funding increases our nation’s security.  Indeed, I’m pretty certain that decreasing our border security funding by nearly one-third of a billion dollars in one year will make the United States less secure.” (2/9/10)

Illegal Alien Fact Sheet

If the information on this fact sheet is true, why aren’t we be hearing more about it? Assuming this fact sheet is correct, consider the contrast between the loss of American lives in Iraq vs. those lost to illegal alien crime. What does it tell you about those who protest the war and promote illegal immigration?
