Study Overload as debate in Congress begins

Posted in Illegal Aliens & Immigration Reforms on February 28th, 2007 by MorningStar

As Congress begins the debate on immigration reform a rash of new “studies” begin to creep out.  The Immigration Policy institute in Washington D.C. was the first to jump on the bandwagon closely followed by a separate study done by an economist at University of California, Davis.  Quite coincidentally, every one of these studies indicates that immigrants and illegal aliens alike are purely beneficial to the United States and no adverse effects have yet to be scientifically proven to the satisfaction of those doing the studies or the liberals running congress.  How amazing is that?  

Study by the Immigration Policy institute in Washington D.C.

The headline, “New immigration study by PhD’s at The Immigration Policy Institute in Washington D.C. dispels the myth of immigrant criminality,” contains all the proper elements required to demand respect from it’s readers.  The credibility of “doctors” is rarely questioned by most middle-class Americans who barely made it out of the 12 year indoctrination forced on children through our government schools.  After all, they are doctors!  Right? 
While this may come as some surprise to a few of you it should be noted that PhD’s and college professors (even those from Harvard) get up in the morning with their hair messed up, rip off a giant fart and stumble into the bathroom to take a leak and brush their teeth just like every other human being. The fact that they append a list of acronyms to their names does not make them better looking or more intelligent than those of us who do not append a list of acronyms to their names.  The following names pulled from recent historical events in this country provide sufficient examples to support the point I want to make here.  

Ward Churchill. Ethnic Studies. Professor B.A., M.A., Sangaman State University – The professor who callously referred to victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks as “little Eichmanns” and “Technocrats” while implying that they all deserved what they got for their part in the American imperialists ongoing genocide.

Richard Berthold, the University of New Mexico history professor who told his freshman class “Anyone who can bomb the Pentagon gets my vote.”

Kamau Kambon holds a B.A. degree in education/history, a master’s degree in physical education, both an M.A. and an M.Ed. degree in education/administration, and an Ed.D. in urban education/curriculum and instruction. Kambon taught at a private North Carolina college from 1982 to 2000[2] and at the state university from 2001 to 2005. Kamau Kambon advocated the racial genocide of whites at a forum at Howard University on October 14, 2005.

Timothy Francis Leary, Ph.D. (October 22, 1920 – May 31, 1996) was an American writer, psychologist, the father of psychedelic drug research and personal use in America and a former professor at Harvard University.

Obviously, academic achievement, noted by a long string of acronyms behind one’s name is no indication of one’s intelligence, sanity or credibility.  I am honestly not trying to impugn the good names of the learned doctors churning out propaganda for The Immigration Policy Institute.  I don’t even know these gentlemen and since they haven’t directly attempted to steal my wallet, I really have nothing against them beyond the news media’s over-hyped response to their questionable study.

be that as it may, without further beating about in the shrubbery, the enumerated list that follows explains the problems I have with the results of this study;

1.  It would be extremely counter-productive for any organization formed for the sole purpose of advocating unrestricted immigration to publicly announce any  adverse effect stemming from that which they advocate.  This would be like the KKK announcing that they secretly love black people and Jewish homosexuals or your local police department offering classes in Graffiti Appreciation. The Immigration Policy Institute in Washington D.C. was created to supply us with information (honest or otherwise) about the benefits of being inundated by an illegal invasion of Mexican national citizens and for them to promote anything less than cheery good will towards these criminal invaders would be completely out of character and opposed to their entire mission.  The Immigration Policy Institute in Washington D.C. is a marketing endeavor designed to sell the American people on the joys of illegal aliens and, just like any other marketing endeavor, everything they say and every claim they make should be taken with a grain of salt because the probability is extremely high that whatever comes out of them is overly biased.      

2. Ruben G. Rumbaut, is a sociology professor at the University of California-Irvine and Walter A. Ewing PhD is a professor of anthropology at Harvard University.  Their academic achievement is unquestioned and I am certain that their mothers are very proud of their sons; however, their academic achievements in their chosen fields of expertise give their words no greater weight than those of other learned scholars in the fields of economics, history, statistics and law who have offered contrary opinions on the issue of immigration.  Furthermore, least it be viewed that I am attempting to pit PhD against PhD immediately after the statement that they have no greater claim to credibility than anyone else, I should add that, the objective research of any human being capable of critical reasoning should be provided the same measure of weight, if not more, than the product of subjective studies completed by those who are admittedly biased.

3.  The statement, “Immigrants — both legal and illegal — do not raise the rate of crime in the United States.”  is completely ridiculous in many ways and even a child should be able to poke numerous holes in it.  The rate of criminal activity in any given location is developed by a simple counting of events.  One individual robs another – that’s one incident; somebody’s identification is stolen – that is another incident.  All of these separate incidents are collected and the tally of their combined number equals the rate of all criminal activity for the location where they occur.  Saying that “legal and illegal aliens do not raise the rate of crime in the United States,” is exactly the same as saying that no legal or illegal alien in the United States has ever committed any criminal violation of U.S. law.  Does this make sense?  If the statement were accurate why is one of these groups labeled as “Illegal?”  If one illegal alien commits a crime the rate of all crimes would necessarily go up by a count of one.  If 18 million Mexican citizens sneak across the border without authorization and in violation of United States Code Section 1325 (Unlawful Entry) then, those 18 million Mexican’s can be considered as having made a significant impact on the crime rate of America.  If, in the following year, those 18 million Mexican citizens remained at home in their own country, then we would have a reduction in our crime rate of 18 million less incidents.           

8 U.S.C. § 1325 — Unlawful Entry, Failure to Depart, Fleeing Immigration Checkpoints, Marriage Fraud, Commercial Enterprise Fraud
8 U.S.C. § 1253 — Willful Failure or Refusal to Depart from the United States within 90 days of a final administrative or judicial order of removal.
8 U.S.C. § 1326 — Reentry After Deportation (Removal)
8 U.S.C. § 1327 — Aiding Entry of Certain Criminal or Subversive Aliens
8 U.S.C. § 1328 — Importing Aliens for Immoral Purposes

Amazingly enough, the above citations refer to the most commonly violated sections of the U.S. Immigration code by Mexican citizens entering the United States without authorization.  The act of violating one of these laws is considered a criminal act. 18 million people cannot violate American laws without noticeably increasing the overall crime rate.  It simply cannot happen.  Ruben Rumbutt and his buddy may like you to believe that it is so but, it isn’t and I don’t give a hairy rat’s ass what sort of academic credentials they wave around as proof, they are obviously idiots and, even more obviously, they think that all American citizens are idiots as well.
 
Study by University of California, Davis, economist Giovanni Peri

This study found no evidence that the influx of immigrants to the state worsened employment opportunities for natives with similar education and experience, and those immigrants didn’t push natives out of California.  While it is true that California’s unemployment rate has declined from 6.2% in 2004 to 5.4% in 2005 and it may be true that researcher Giovanni Peri could find no indication in the 1960 to 2004 US Census data to support the contention that American born men in 2007 have left California because the jobs the were capable of doing were all taken by illegal aliens, however, looking through the 1960 to 2004 census data in search of statistics to support something that happened in 2007 seems very similar to studying the nutritional value of cumquats by having sex with armadillos.  Okay, it may not be quite that far fetched but it’s certainly out there somewhere.  The chart showing the foundation for this study nearly caused my eyes to jump out of my head and I liked it so much that I have decided to include it below.  If you can make sense of this please, don’t explain it to me.

 

 

peristudy

 

All In all, like the first two characters, I am sure that Mr. Peri’s credentials are impeccable; however, two things are obvious to me.  Mr. Peri didn’t conduct his study in Santa Ana, California because if he did he would realize that the entire city has moved away to make room for the illegal Mexican invaders who forced them out and, the second thing is that Mr. Peri has never worked in construction.  If he had he would know that construction work, formerly the backbone of the blue-collar middle-class working American citizen is now predominantly the stronghold of illegal aliens.  The majority of those fine $25 dollar an hour carpentry jobs, plumbing jobs, masonry work, tile setter’s jobs and drywall installer jobs (to name a few) are now $15 dollar and $20 dollar an hour jobs filled by illegal aliens.  I don’t have any idea what happened to the American citizens who once filled those positions and I doubt that Mr. Peri has any idea either but you can bet that if the illegal aliens went home and stayed there those jobs would be filled by American citizens very quickly.
 
This is just the start of the hundreds of new studies that are certain to be released in the comings weeks ahead while the debate goes on in Washington.  They will all have a few things in common – splashy headlines & little real logic.  They are purposely designed to make you believe that what you are seeing is not what you are seeing.  Another thing they will all have in common is the avoidance of the simple fact that the U.S. is overcrowded and over burdened with too many people and increasing that number by giving amnesty to 18 million illegal trespassers while implementing laws that will allow admittance to two to three times that number in the near future is simply not a good idea and certainly is not in the best interests of this country.
 

Mexico harshly critical of U.S. workers crossing their border

Posted in Illegal Aliens & Immigration Reforms, Politics & Government on February 27th, 2007 by MorningStar

Mexico’s Congress has harshly condemed the alleged violation of that nation’s soverign borders by American workers constructing the border fence between Mexico and the United States.  One Mexican Congressman, speaking on behalf of his corrupt government, stated “This violation of Mexican soverignty cannot be tolerated.”
Tony Garza, the US Ambassador to Mexico quickly responded on behalf of the equally corrupt United States government by saying, “The US is sensitive to Mexican concerns… [and] has the deepest respect for the integrity of the sovereignty of Mexican soil.”

The United States Government will, most assuredly, come down like a ton of bricks on the poor construction workers (despite the fact that most of them are probably Mexican citizens) for running amuck nearly 150 feet inside Mexico’s borders.  The irony of this entire incident will not escape the attention of any U.S. citizens who hear about it unless, of course, they happen to be Democratic politicians.    

The Wetback Wives of Tecalpulco

Posted in Illegal Aliens & Immigration Reforms on February 27th, 2007 by MorningStar

The Washington Times ran an article on Monday February 26th about a group of women from Tecalpulco, Mexico calling themselves the “Wetback Wives.”  These women are imploring the government of the United States to close the border and enforce the American immigration laws so that their derelict husbands will be forced to come home and take care of their families.  The Washington Times article is a typically bland, politically correct acknowledgement of these women’s plight but falls far short of condemning the actions of these deadbeat illegal alien dads who have forsaken their wives and children in Mexico for a new lifestyle as an American criminal alien.  The condescending Washington Times journalist who wrote the article would like you to believe that there is actually an economic need in Mexico that can only be fulfilled by Mexican citizens sneaking across the American border to take American jobs away from the American people. However, the deadbeats who abandoned their wives and families in Tecalpulco do not fit the media’s carefully crafted portrayal of the impoverished Mexican indigent working for less than a dollar a week.  These parasitic growths on the posterior of our nation are the able bodied husbands of successful artisans and silversmiths who tender the product of their creative talents internationally through the same web site that carries their plea to our government officials.  The remainder of the Washington Times insipid story is dedicated to playing down the number of illegal aliens currently in the United States and implying that the U.S. has some burning need that can only be fulfilled by 18 million uneducated gardeners and drywall installers with a propensity for criminal behavior. 

The story that the Washington Times fails to tell is the one about the thousands of villages, families and jobs abandoned in Mexico by individuals lured to America through advertisements in Mexican newspapers placed by labor brokers working for American companies. Companies like the multi-state pallet manufacturer IFCO Systems, the Swift Meatpacking company, the Petit Jean Poultry plant in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, Smithfield Meat Packing, Tyson Foods and just about every chain restaurant, American construction firm and building contractor currently doing business in the country are jumping for joy regardless of the recent spurt of half-baked raids on a few of their facilities, because, the benefits of using low-paid, uneducated Mexican laborers with virtually no employment rights far outweighs any of the milquetoast penalties for non-compliance with federal laws that are rarely enforced.  Additionally, periodic raids on American employers by the immigration authorities has the added benefit of allowing them to forego the bothersome expense of making that weeks payroll, a definite windfall advantage to America’s corporate greedmeisters.  The real story isn’t about the corrupt Mexican government forcing their own citizens into exile as American criminals, the real story is about corrupt American politicians from both parties who a fattening their campaign chests and their personal bank accounts with graft taken from Washington lobbyists and crooked labor unions while they sell the United States of America to the highest bidder.  To the Washington Times; “Dear Pedro; Please come home, I’m so lonely,” is poignantly heart wrenching news while the vision of this country’s future, floating belly-up in the bottom of our nations congressional septic tank just isn’t worth the space it would take for them to print it.

 

In Whose Best Interests?

Posted in Illegal Aliens & Immigration Reforms, Politics & Government on February 27th, 2007 by MorningStar

Synopsis of Democracy in Action for February 27, 2007

The United States government is giving themselves away in the immigration debate by sending Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff as delegates to the Security and Prosperity Partnership discussions recently held in Ottawa, Canada where they discussed how to streamline border crossings and harmonize regulatory standards. 

Even while the U.S. Congress fumbles around with the ongoing debate over immigration and the majority of American People are saying that they do not want to see amnesty given to the illegal invaders swarming like ants into our country, the U.S. government is sending it’s delegates to Ottawa to discuss kicking wide open the borders and allowing unrestrained access to the U.S. for every one of the approximate 107,449,525 Mexican citizens.  1 point goes to the continued influx of illegal trespassers 

Weary with the ten year dispute, the U.S. Transportation Department unilaterally decided to open its highways to Mexican cargo trucks with a “pilot program” that could begin as soon as April. Initially this pilot program will allow 100 Mexican trucking companies unfettered access to U.S. roads.  A the memory of American citizens fade and the vision of Mexican trucks careening down the American highway becomes more common, the “pilot” in the “pilot program” will automatically eject and the U.S. Trucking Industry now clogging our overburdened freeways will gradually begin to be replaced by ramshackle Mexican trucks clogging our overburdened freeways.  1 point goes to the continued influx of illegal trespassers and drug runners. 

Speaking of unilateral actions, The United States Federal Reserve has given it’s blessing to the $23.5 billion dollars that Mexico’s criminal aliens here in the U.S. are sending back to their homeland every year.  Dubbed “Directo a Mexico”, this Federal Reserve-sponsored service allows the 18 million illegal aliens without Social Security numbers to wire money through the Fed system to Mexico’s central bank at a discounted rate. In September, the Fed expanded the remittance program by allowing the criminal aliens to open accounts at participating banks and credit unions in the U.S. and Mexico.  Despite the millions of American citizens opposed to our government’s blatant encouragement of the illegal invasion, the 27,000 wire transfers made though this program every month seem to indicate that the Federal Reserve is acting in the best interests of Mexico regardless of their inability to consider what American citizens think might be good for their own country. 1 point goes to the continued influx of illegal trespassers 

The nannycrats furiously fulminating in the U.S. House of Representatives have tentatively approved a bill allowing the state revenue agency director to temporarily expand the types of identification that citizens can use to receive public benefits.  House Bill 1314 will forever gut the identification requirements implemented to prevent Mexico’s illegal invaders from receiving public benefits here in the United States.  Rep. Mike Cerbo, D-Denver, spokesperson for the nannycrats, stated that HB 1314 just allows state regulators to assist disabled and sickly citizens who’ve been wrongfully denied critical benefits because of ‘kinks’ in the system.   1 point goes to the continued influx of illegal trespassers 

Thirteen years after the North American Free Trade Agreement was shoved down the throats of the American people, a study completed by Agustin Escobar, a professor with the Center for Research and Higher Education in Social Anthropology in Guadalajara, Mexico indicates that it has done nothing to stem the growing invasion of the U.S. by Mexican citizens illegally looking for employment and free public assistance in America.  Furthermore, the study shows that  between 1990 and 1995, prior to the implementation of NAFTA, as many as 310,000 Mexicans migrated illegally to the U.S. while after the implementation of NAFTA, the numbers of illegal invaders immediately doubled and are still growing. While it might appear that the implementation of NAFTA brought some measure of prosperity to the United States, it has done nothing to ease the plight of Mexico’s impoverished masses who continue to struggle for a meager living under the heavy thumb of one of North America’s most corrupt and dishonest governments.  1 point goes to the continued influx of illegal trespassers 

The immigration crackdown on American workplaces took one to the chin today when news was released that the majority of illegal aliens captured and subsequently deported to Mexico after a September 2006 raid by immigration authorities on a military housing project outside Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado, are now back at work on the same military housing project. Julio Cesar Rodriguez, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, told the Rocky Mountain News he was back on the job a few days after the raid and Martin Torrez, who also returned to his job within a few days of being deported, said he saw at least a dozen workers who returned to Buckley after being deported.
Federal immigration officials, at the time of the raid, stated that the raid was part of a nationwide crackdown on companies suspected of hiring illegal immigrants.  When confronted with news of these deportees’s return to the U.S. the same Federal Immigration Officials would only say that the matter is being investigated.  Julio Cesar Rodriguez said that he was not caught up in the September raid because a fellow worker warned him that ICE agents had descended on the site.  After the raid, Rodriguez said, he and others who also avoided capture filled out work applications using fake identities and counterfeit Social Security cards and were rehired by the same labor broker that initially hired them prior to the raid. 1 point goes to the continued influx of illegal trespassers

Employee No Free Choice Act

Posted in Labor Unions on February 27th, 2007 by MorningStar

Now that the majority of American citizens have seen for themselves the very obvious truth that labor unions are worthless parasitic growths clinging to the fuzzy butts of working class people, the elitist nannycrats blustering about in the halls of Congress are poised to “level the playing field” in favor of these intestinal union worms by eliminating yet another long-standing right from the short list of guaranteed freedoms begrudgingly granted to America’s wage slaves.

The debate is now underway in the House of Representatives over HR 800 curiously misnamed the “Employee Free Choice Act.”  This bill is being described as an effort t, “To amend the National Labor Relations Act to establish an efficient system to enable employees to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to provide for mandatory injunctions for unfair labor practices during organizing efforts, and for other purposes.”

The National Labor Relations Board was created in 1935 as an agency within the United States Government and given the primary responsibility of holding of elections to permit employees to participate in the democratic process of voting in secret ballot elections to determine whether or not they wish to be represented by a particular labor union.  For 72 years this process has worked relatively well, however, the labor unions have never been too happy with the process because, more often than not, the democratic elections go against them.  The reasons for this are both simple and obvious.  The unions can petition the Labor Board for an election after showing that they have gathered authorization cards from at least 30% of an employer’s workforce.  They gather these signed authorization cards by sending out paid union organizers to confront the employees at their jobs, during their lunchtimes and even at their homes.  To say that the employees confronted in this manner feel somewhat intimidated is an understatement.  When the secret ballot election is conducted under the watchful eyes of the Labor Board agent, there are no intimidating union thugs standing on the employee’s shoulders and, quite naturally, they vote according to their true desires and, as a consequence, the labor unions normally lose.

After the petulant nannycrats sailed into power on the wings of the one hundred million dollars contributed by the America’s parasitic union leaders, these very grateful nannycrats have very conveniently determined that the American workers no longer need the 72 year old right to a secret ballot election for determining their true desires.  Instead, the nannycrats have determined that the parasitic labor unions, long oppressed by the practice of holding secret ballot elections, should be free to represent any group of employees their paid thugs can bully into signing authorization cards.

The misnamed “Employee Free Choice Act” is a blatant payback passed off as being “legislation” in the best interests of the American people.  It would be more accurate to call it the “Employee No Free Choice Act” because it eliminates the long-standing right of employees to participate in secret ballot elections to determine whether or not they wish to be associated with labor unions and, even more importantly, to decide whether or not they wish to see their hard earned wages being tapped against their will to further the aims of the Democrats.   

Finding Jesus

Posted in In General on February 26th, 2007 by MorningStar

Researchers on Monday unveiled ten small ancient stone boxes they said may have once contained the remains of Jesus his wife Mary Magdalene and their children.  One of the caskets bears the title, “Judah, son of Jesus.”
“The Lost Tomb of Jesus,” produced by Oscar-winning director James Cameron and scheduled to air March 4 on the Discovery Channel, argues that 10 small caskets, called ossuaries, discovered in 1980 in a Jerusalem suburb may have held the bones of Jesus and his family.

Unsustainable

Posted in Illegal Aliens & Immigration Reforms on February 25th, 2007 by MorningStar

Despite serious shortages and crisis situations straining almost every government system in the United States, the American government is still allowing over one million legal immigrants to enter the country every year.  On top of this, our government officials seem to welcome the 54 thousand illegal aliens crossing our Southern borders every week as if they will have some beneficial affect on our country.  Shortages of drinking water in the Southwest, power shortages, gas and oil shortages, healthcare shortages, overcrowding in American prisons and jails, the steadily declining quality of America’s educational system, ever worsening traffic congestion caused by overburdened roads and highways and insufficient housing for American citizens are just a few of the many problems that are not going to be made better by allowing the present rate of immigration to continue.  Furthermore, it is extremely doubtful that granting amnesty to the 18 million criminal alien trespassers now in the U.S. will go very far towards alleviating any of the serious shortages we now face.     

The United States of America is falling apart at the seams.  The American people have been duped into a state of denial about the very real threat posed by our dependence on foreign oil and the looming oil shortages that we will face as this non-renewable resource runs dry. 

The American healthcare system is seriously broken and the idea that it can be repaired by government intervention is ludicrous.  There are insufficient numbers of doctors and nurses in America already.  Continuing to force our hospitals to care for individuals with no visible means of support will undeniably result in an insufficient number of hospitals and other healthcare facilities in the future. 

Our jails and prisons are overcrowded with nearly twice the number of people they were built to contain and new facilities cannot be built fast enough to sustain the growing demands placed on them. 

Our government run educational system collapsed years ago and we continue to pour excessive amounts of tax-payer money into this broken system with no discernable results.  America’s children are graduating dumber and dumber with every passing year.  Today’s graduating students are ill-prepared for the American workforce.  Their math skills are non-existent and their command of the English language is deplorable. 

In many parts of the country housing is in short supply and the cost of materials to build new houses is soaring.  In many suburban areas two or three families are crowding into houses designed for four person families while the cost of renting exceeds the cost of buying in nearly every American city. 

Drinking water is becoming scarce in the American Southwest.  It will soon be necessary to divert water from irrigation needs to urban areas where the population is exploding due to immigration.  Food shortages will result. 

Our roads and highways are becoming parking lots crowded with daily commuters trying to get to work and the entire transportation system is on the verge of collapse under the weight of three times the number of automobiles it was designed to handle. 

Air pollution is spiraling out of control and the devastating impact is readily apparent in the deteriorating health of American children and the elderly. 

All of these serious problems have one consistent factor that is common to every other and, that factor is unchecked immigration.  If we continue to allow over one million new immigrants to enter the United States every year while also ignoring the seriously adverse effect of 54,400 illegal aliens sneaking into the country every week  (8,200 per day) across our uncontrolled Southern borders, this country and, the American way of life is soon going to end. 

The desire to survive and prosper in America is not a racist desire.   Understanding that shortages exist which will soon pose serious threats to the well being of our nation’s future is not xenophobia.  We must stop the unfettered flow of immigration, legal and illegal, if we are to survive as a people and a nation.  Our future, the future of our children and the future of our country is entirely dependant on our ability to stop this unsustainable acceptance of every immigrant that comes into our country.

Illegal Aliens Killing More Americans Than Iraq War

Posted in Illegal Aliens & Immigration Reforms on February 25th, 2007 by MorningStar

Illegal aliens are killing more Americans than the Iraq war, says a new report from Family Security Matters that estimates some 2,158 murders are committed every year by illegal aliens in the U.S. The group says that number is more than 15 percent of all the murders reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the U.S. and about three times the representation of illegal aliens in the general population.

Mike Cutler, a former senior special agent with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (the former INS), is a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies and an advisor to Family Security Matters (FSM). He says the high number of Americans being killed by illegal aliens is just part of the collateral damage that comes with tolerating illegal immigration.

Immigration Authorities Find Illegal Aliens Criminals Are Arrested an Average of Six Times Each

Posted in Illegal Aliens & Immigration Reforms on February 22nd, 2007 by MorningStar

A new report from the Inspector General of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) indicates that criminal illegal aliens continue to commit crimes in this country even after they have been arrested. Using a sample group of the 262,105 illegal aliens who were incarcerated in 2004 the immigration authorities determined that 73 percent of them were subsequently re-arrested. Of the group sampled, these criminal aliens were arrested on average six times.
The Customs Enforcement agency couldn’t say if these illegal alien criminals were released by the local state police who held them or if they were deported and re-entered the county.  $287 million dollars in Federal money is handed over to state and local governments to offset the costs of dealing with criminal aliens through the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program.  Obviously some state and local governments are using these federal funds for something other than what they were intended for. 

Tom Tancredo – On the Edge

Posted in Politics & Government on February 22nd, 2007 by MorningStar

On February 12th I gave Duncan Hunter a glowing endorsement and I meant every word of what I said.  His record on immigration issues is sterling and if he should manage to get the Republican nomination for president he has my vote.  However, today I learned of another potential (and qualified) candidate for the office of President and this person’s record on immigration is 99.999% solid gleeming gold.  Tom Tancredo, the Congressional Representitive from Colorado is on the verge of entering the political circus that the 2008 Election is quickly becoming.  Personally, I see this as the best news that any American citizen could ever hope for in a country that is cluelessly heading downhill towards a head-on collision with oil shortages, insufficient electrical generation capacity, a shamefully toxic environment, a dwindling healthcare system, an overburdened infastructure and a million plus illegal immigrants flooding across the border every year.  The idiotic Republican wannabes like McCain and Guiliani certainly won’t do anything to remedy any of these problems.  They have both worked hard to create these problems and their position on immigration issues right now indicate that they would rather pander to possible voters like the Democrats than work in the best interests of our country.  Tom Tancredo, if he decides to run, is the only candidate with a clean record and he is the only candidate that can truthfully say that he has worked to make this country a better place to live for American citizens and legal immigrants both.
