Mexico is a huge danger to our freedom

You may be what the hell I mean by the title of this post. You are probably saying "Rod, how the hell can a third world country be of any danger to the great USA?" Well my friend, let me tell you.

Mexico is on the verge of melting down. Yes, that country and its current political state is on the verge of collapsing. And if that happens, where do you think a lot of Mexico's population is going to go for safety and opportunity?

They are going to flood across the border. They will cross at every point from Texas to California. No southern border state will be safe. And from there they will flood the rest of the USA.

If you think the current illegal immigration situation is a problem, you haven't seen anything should the Mexican government fall.

Right now, drug lords south of our border are in an all out war with the Mexican army and government. The biggest problem is that after years and years of corruption in Mexico, their military and police are very weak and full of corruption.

Drug Lords are terrorizing towns and openly taking on the military and police down there.

Now how does this affect you and me. Look at the state of California. They spent over 10 Billion Dollars last year supporting illegal immigrants. Think about it. That is a conservative estimate, too.

California is holding up income tax refunds to its residents because it doesn't have any cash. Yet they are spending billions on illegal immigrant. This issue is repeated all over the country. Almost every state in our union spends billions every year on illegals.

We don't have a responsible illegal immigration policy and thus, if Mexico melts down and a flood of people cross our open borders, then our states will be pressed even more to pay for these people. That is money that is coming out of your pocket, out of my pocket, out of our childrens' pockets.

So my question is, where is our immigration policy on this? Where is the wall and fence that has been approved on the border with Mexico? Why is it we have so many of our Law Makers that don't want to do a thing about this mess?

We cannot ignore that Mexico presents a clear and present danger to the USA. If not from the illegals of Mexico and other Central and South American nations, then from those who would intend to do us harm. They can easily cross the southern border and they have. There have been many, many reports of captures of Islamic Extremist crossing the Mexican/USA border.

So far we have avoided the inevitable bullet. But for how long? How can we as a free people, stand for our leaders ignoring this issue? How can we as a free people allow and re-elect leaders that want to open our borders even more?

Although Mexico may melt down and that is a dangerous thing, it is probably the American voter who is more dangerous. We vote the idiots who do nothing into office. We keep voting them into office even when they refuse to do anything or even propose laws that open border or prevent law enforcement agencies from doing their jobs.

As the most powerful and most prosperous nation on the planet right now, we are the number one target for all kinds of things even if we were to revert back to pre 1917 politics and get out of the world's business. There is no turning the clock back on this.

We have always been the land of opportunity and freedom and that is why so many love us and hate us. That is why so many will risk death trying to get here to live among us or to kill us. Yet we think that if we are "nice" that people will love us and obey our laws. You would be wrong and the proof in what I say is what is happening now.

It is time that you and I put heavy, heavy pressure on our leaders to close the borders, round up illegals and deport them and stop paying for those who are here illegally. It is the only way to protect our nation, our children and our grandchildren.

We are nothing but the caretakers of this land for our children and grandchildren. Our posterity depends on us to protect what was given to us so they will have the opportunity to live and enjoy as well. We cannot be so selfish as to only think about ourselves right now and forget about the future. We will end up suffering and more importantly so will our descendants.

Mexico is giving us a wake up call. A calm before the storm if you will. The raging storm is coming and we have no plan to prevent, protect and recover from such a storm. And that is a great danger to our way of life. We have been warned. Will we heed the warning or will be go the way of other great civilizations of history? The choice is ours, for now. But if we do nothing, then that choice will be made for us and we will not like that choice I can guarantee you.

Who is Candidate Number 5?

ABC News source and Politico are reporting that Jesse Jackson, Jr. is the now famed Senate Candidate Number 5 in the IL Gov scandal.

Now why does this not surprise me? Why is it when things go bad in or around Chicago, somehow the name Jackson comes up? I thought these people were all about change? I thought they were all about hope and promise as well.

"Keep Hope Alive" was Jesse Jackson, Sr. mantra for years. Obama took the Clinton word "Change" and made it ring in America's ear so loudly that it got him elected and people didn't care about anything else.

Is this the hope and change that these people talked about? Bribes, back room deals? Is that the only way a Jackson can get a Senate seat? To buy it?

We already know that our political seats are bought but they are usually bought by a few groups of people rather than one person. Have we sunk so low as to buy a seat you could not otherwise get elected to no matter how much money you have to spend?

To be fair, Jackson, Jr has not been named as a person of interest or investigation by the FBI. But if this source is correct, you have to wonder how far and how deep this whole IL corruption mess goes.

Will Obama be dragged down with it? He is due to be sworn in as our 44th President in a little over a month. Yet people this guy knows are sinking like lead anchors in a salt-less sea. Will any of this bring down a President before he even gets started? Or will Obama be more like Bill Clinton, where no matter what, nothing seemed to stick to him.

Obama has called for the IL Governor to resign but somehow I doubt this guy will do that. Now will Obama call for Jackson, Jr. to step down from his state senate seat if he is found to be a part of this scandal? If it means saving his own neck, Obama will throw him under the bus, too.

Yes, that is the change we asked for, I am sure. Now isn't change good?

Immigration A Positional Paper

Immigration

Immigration is a huge problem in our country. For good reason too. First let me say that I am NOT against Immigration We are all either immigrants or descendants of immigrants. Including the Native American people of which I am one.

The USA is a beacon of hope around the world. We stand for truth, justice, a better way of life. In short America stands for opportunity and just about everyone on this planet knows that. This is why we have people from nearly every nation on earth living within our borders. We are a great melting pot. We give those who are willing to work hard and smart the chance at a better life and even get rich.

I truly believe that America is humanity's last hope for freedom and survival. We enjoy freedoms here than many around the world can only dream about when they go to sleep at night. We enjoy such freedoms and opportunity that some people will try to subvert the very nation they wish to live and grow within.

I'm talking about illegal immigration. It is a huge problem we have and it must be stopped. We have laws on the books that take care of this so new laws or reform is not needed. What is needed is the enforcement of the laws already on the books. What we don't need is more laws that complicate things even more and we don't need more laws that won't be enforced.

We have ways for people to enter our nation legally. We have many ways. We have many ways in which people can legally stay in our country. We have ways of helping those who truly need it such as political asylum. However, we cannot help the entire world.

I have heard it estimated that some 2 billion of the worlds population would attempt to immigrate to the USA if they had a means to do so. Lets just say that number is high. Lets say only 25 percent of that 2 billion is the correct number. That means some 500 million people would like to call the USA home if they had the means to do so.

We obviously could not handle such an influx of humans in our country. If this number is correct and people wait for years for an opportunity to get here, why should we allow illegals to come here? Why should we reward illegals with benefits such as Social Security and education? Why should we not enforce the laws we have and punish those who come illegally and then why not reward those who enter legally?

Illegal immigration is not a good thing for our nation and the argument about cheap labor does not justify the breaking of our nations laws and codes. Besides there are plenty of people who come here legally who would want such jobs that illegals take. There are plenty of people who come here legally who would be happy to contribute to our society. Illegals to NOT contribute to a law abiding society. They take from it. They steal from it. They rape it.

We need to close the borders, track down and throw out all 12 million illegals and punish those who harbor or help these people. Then maybe we can increase the number of legal immigrants to our nation. After all, the USA likes to tout itself as a nation of laws. If this is the case then why not enforce those laws that were put in place to protect her and her citizens?
