CONQUEST OF AZTLAN - (DVD)

This was a sales message from WND that came to me, but whether you are interested in buying it or not the information below should interest and worry you! (I’m not selling this or making any profit from it.)

Video: Interview with Alex Jones: Glenn Spencer: Mexican Drug Cartels Conquest of America's Border Continue While Obama Plays

By Glenn Spencer

Could Mexico retake the southwestern United States? Not only are the Mexicans capable, but an invasion is underway, insists immigration expert Glenn Spencer.

In this well-documented video, Spencer unveils the aims of a radical movement that identifies itself as "America's Palestinians." Their ultimate goal is to reclaim the American Southwest, including California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and parts of Colorado and Texas. Hispanic activists refer to the former Mexican territory as Aztlan, the mythical place of origin of the Aztec people.

This is not merely the irrational scheme of some fringe group. Using original footage, Spencer shows how the pronouncements of Mexican officials and their policies support a reconquest of the Southwest. Perhaps even more importantly, Spencer contends, U.S. immigration policies and lax enforcement are paving the way for this invasion.

Click below to watch an interview with Glenn Spencer, the creator of "The Conquest of Aztlan".

In Conquest of Aztlan you'll see how:

  • Former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo made a de facto declaration of war on the U.S.
  • The Mexican government helped quash an immigration measure passed by the people of California.
  • A fifth column of subversives is plotting to recolonize the United States.
  • Mexican officials prepare citizens to invade the U.S.
  • Mexican anti-Americanism revealed itself after the Sept. 11 attack.
  • Immigrants in the U.S. are encouraged to vote in the interests of Mexico.
  • U.S. policies ultimately are leading to a breakup of the country.

Glenn Spencer is president of California-based Voice of Citizens Together and host of the popular talk show American Patrol.

The harsh treatment and racist attitudes toward Mexicans and Mexican Americans is only causing more resentment among the Hispanic population and radicalizing us. Since many Americans don't want to co-exist. Many Mexicans feel that they should reclaim the land that rightfully belongs to them.

Augustin  Cebada,  Brown Berets; "Go back to  Boston !  Go back to  Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims!  Get out!  We are the  future.  You are old and tired.  Go on.  We  have beaten you.  Leave like beaten rats.  You old  white people.  It is your duty to die.  Through  love of having children, we are going to take  over.  

Richard  Alatorre,  Los Angeles City Council. "They're  afraid we're going to take over the governmental  institutions and other institutions.  They're  right.  We will take them over . . . We are here to  stay."

Excelsior, the national  newspaper of  Mexico , "The American Southwest seems to  be slowly returning to the jurisdiction of  Mexico   without firing a single shot."

Professor  Jose Angel Gutierrez,  University of   Texas ; "We have an aging white  America .  They  are not making babies.  They are dying.  The  explosion is in our population . . . I love it.  They  are shitting in their pants with fear.  I love  it."

Art Torres, Chairman of the  California Democratic Party, "Remember 187--proposition to  deny taxpayer funds for services to non-citizens--was the  last gasp of white  America in  California   ."

WHEN I WAS YOUNG:

When I  was young, I remember hearing about the immigrants that came  through    Ellis Island ..  They wanted  to learn English.  They wanted to breathe free.   They wanted to become Americans.  Now too many  immigrants come here with demands.  They demand to be  taught in their own language.  They demand special  privileges--affirmative action.  They demand ethnic  studies that glorify their culture.

HOW CAN  YOU HELP?:
Send copies of this letter to at  least two other people, 100 would be even better.  Help  us get the word out.

Remember  when you vote next year that we need someone in the  White House who will balance the budget and control illegal immigration.  If we make all illegals,  legal, then we have lost our country forever.   Liberalism will have won and you will have a one party  system forever.  Redistribution of wealth will be  the law.  It is called socialism.  Our  country is heading in the wrong direction and we are  doing it to ourselves without serious  protest.

What is a Matricula Consular Card?

Sunday, May 22, 2011

20 MILLION illegals (including criminals) Getting American citizenship… If We Don’t Stand Up!

 20 MILLION illegals (including criminals) Getting American citizenship!

Are you prepared for Obama to grant over 20 MILLION illegals (including dangerous criminals) American citizenship? You better be -- or you better be prepared to ACT NOW to stop it. Because TODAY, Obama is holding meetings that could determine if each and every illegal alien will be granted amnesty!

Right now, Washington is buzzing with the rumors that Obama is planning to circumvent Congress enacting stroke-of-the-pen AMNESTY for ALL illegal aliens in the United States via Executive Orders and Administrative Directives! Obama will once more defy the majority of Americans and DICTATE his narcissistic brand of tyrannical "democratic socialism" that I like to call OBAMALISM -- doing the exact opposite of what the people demand. This is an overt violation of the Constitution!

I urge you today to fill out the electronic AMNESTY INJUNCTION FORM -- right away!

Please, do it now. This is extremely urgent.

Your AMNESTY INJUNCTION FORM will DEMAND that Congress stop Barack Obama from sneaking his amnesty plans past Congress.

Obama WILL issue his plan via "Executive Orders" to bypass Congress! You see, despite what he claims, Obama hates being "transparent." He loves to weasel his fanatical ideas right past everybody -- before people like you and me have the chance to stop him.

BUT NOT THIS TIME! THIS IS OUR CHANCE AND WE WILL STOP HIM! We will not let Obama get away with putting our safety in jeopardy while he turns a blind eye to the real problems in our country.

So far, Congress has blocked Obama's freedom crushing plans. But, by abusing the "Executive Order" loop-hole, he can get away with giving illegal aliens a free pass into our country without even going to the Congress first.

That is -- unless the Congress stops him dead in his tracks!

And without your help now, along with the help of thousands of other vigilant and informed citizen voters, Congress won't act to defend the integrity of American citizenship. Contrary to what they might believe, the truth is this: Congress works for us. And we won't rest until they're WORKING HARD to stop Obama's assault on our Constitution.

Your AMNESTY INJUNCTION FORM will urge Congress to:

1. EXPOSE Obama's planned use of his Executive powers to give Amnesty to over 20 million illegals.

2. PUBLICLY DENOUNCE Obama's back door immigration plans that threaten our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and our institutions of ordered liberty.

3. LEAD A BATTLE in Congress to void each and every pro-illegal immigration Executive Order and Directive that Barack Obama issues.

At this very moment, the White House staffs, along with radical pro-immigration groups, are working overtime on scores of Amnesty proposals that Obama could enact by Executive Order -- at any minute!

According to a well-placed Homeland Security Administrator (who obviously prefers to remain anonymous), "The plan is to incrementally remove all obstacles for immigration reform without a public debate." The confidential source said, "Amnesty is a 100% done deal already."

Obama and the Democrats have already put the Amnesty wheels in motion as orders are out to scuttle ICE raids of companies hiring illegal workers, removing key elements of 287G policies that give local law enforcement the ability to arrest illegal aliens. And that's not all. The liberals have already set the stage for the intake processing of the illegal alien population in order to grant mass AMNESTY TO MILLIONS OF NEW ILLEGAL "CITIZENS" IN TIME FOR THE 2012 GENERAL ELECTION.

Obama has directed the Department of Homeland Security to enact an AMNESTY program. U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has circulated a shocking Memorandum defining the details of the DHS plan to circumvent Congressional Authorization.

In summary it says, "In the absence of Comprehensive Immigration Reform [AKA AMNESTY], USCIS can extend benefits and/or protections to... applicants who entered the United States without inspection... and would allow thousands [likely millions] to become lawful residents... individual applicants deemed inadmissible under the Immigration and Nationality Act having entered without inspection [AKA ILLEGALLY]... the USCIS could grant 'parole-in-place' [AKA AMNESTY]."

The message is clear: unless you and I compel Congress to act TODAY, Amnesty for illegals will soon be Executive Ordered by Barack Obama.

But, Congress can pull the plug on Obama's ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL scheme and stop him.

So again, please sign your AMNESTY INJUNCTION FORM today.

You MUST tell Congress to be FORCEFUL in furiously rejecting this strategy by the Obama and his rogue Administration. Congress MUST do everything within their power to stop the President from ignoring the laws of the land. And they MUST hold him accountable to Americans -- not illegals.

Obama is testing the waters right now. But you only have to ask yourself one question. Is this President, and is this government capable of doing something so profoundly in violation of the spirit and letter of the U.S. Constitution?

The answer is a resounding YES! Obama will do anything to bypass the Senate, just like he did when he had Pelosi and Reid cut DEALS to railroad OBAMACARE through bypassing a final Senate vote.

Executive Orders have been abused in the past to create laws, even though law-making is CONSTITUTIONALLY reserved through the power of the people's representatives: Congress.

Nowhere in the Constitution does it grant this power to the president under Executive Orders. Executive Orders are a favorite tactic of presidents who care little for the Constitution, and willfully abuse and exploit their power over the American people.

Believe me, Obama fits that profile, and has and will use an Executive Order to deliberately and purposefully abuse and exploit his power.

FDR used an unconstitutional Executive Order during World War II to put Japanese Americans into detention camps! Don't let Obama abuse an administrative instrument to destroy this country today!

Help us mobilize common sense, patriotic Americans against this travesty! The Obama Administration's plan for mass Amnesty MUST BE STOPPED!!

I urge you today to fill out the electronic AMNESTY INJUNCTION FORM -- right away!

Thanks to Americans like you, who care about the safety and future of our country, there is mounting pressure to stop Obama. But it will take the lead of an emboldened Senate to turn up the pressure. THEY MUST HEAR LOUDLY FROM PATRIOTS LIKE YOU!

Please do not assume that the deceitful Obama Administration and their radical allies in the media will report any of what you are reading right now. They want to keep Americans ignorant and in the dark -- while they work behind the scenes to give over 20 million illegals, including dangerous and violent criminals, American citizenships.

Unless Congress steps in, the White House will ruthlessly advance their plan to hand out American citizenships to everyone who breaks the law and crosses our borders illegally.

And unless you and I act today, Barack Obama with the stroke of his presidential pen, could get away with opening our borders to a GREATER tidal wave of illegal aliens than we are already struggling to contain.

You and I can stop Obama's treacherous and dangerous Amnesty scheme by signing your AMNESTY INJUNCTION FORM.

We must DEMAND Congress fight tooth and nail to stop Obama's Executive Order game plan. Then we must create a grassroots uprising of Americans willing to back our stand.

That's why I'm counting on you to sign your AMNESTY INJUNCTION FORM...

...And if you can afford it, please generously give a contribution of $20, $30, $50, $100 or more to Minuteman Civil Defense Corps Project to get this word out to your fellow Americans!

In fact, my staff has estimated it could take a minimum of 1 to 2 MILLION Injunctions to have a real impact on Capitol Hill.

And, at roughly 36 cents apiece, it will cost us more than $355,000 to distribute and deliver this minimum amount.

What's more, we will need funds above and beyond this amount to help make our case on radio, TV, in newspapers and on the Internet.

But the threat is very real, and we MUST ACT.

So please sign your AMNESTY INJUNCTION FORM today!

But remember, your AMNESTY INJUNCTION FORM alone will be invaluable. ACT NOW!

Sincerely Yours For America,

Carmen Mercer

Obama’s Latest Stealth Amnesty

by Ben Johnson =  Floyd Reports  - Archive from Aug 2010, the plan has not changed… it just evolves

Although a large majority of Americans support enforcing immigration law, the Obama administration has undertaken a series of steps to impose amnesty upon the country by fiat. Administration officials are largely ignoring the law, forbidding local officers from keeping their communities safe, and preparing a federally imposed plan of amnesty without a single representative voting on it – all to secure a loyal Democratic voting bloc.

Part of Barack Obama’s plan to “fundamentally transform” the American electorate is to admit as many illegal aliens as possible, and then grant them amnesty. Since Arizona passed S.B. 1070 to enforce federal immigration law against the president’s targeted demographic, the Obama administration has sued the state and legally harassed Sheriff Joe Arpaio for “racially profiling” illegal aliens on the Mexican border. The bill requires the illegals be stopped for some other violation, such as a traffic violation.

Not surprisingly, a new draft memo has appeared instructing all law enforcement – including any “state, local, or tribal officer” – that no one “should not issue detainers against an alien charged only with a traffic-related misdemeanor.” These stops often net one or more illegal immigrants. Now, the policeman can only arrest a suspect if he commits some other crime – like, perhaps, killing him. That’s what happened to Deputy Frank Fabiano Jr. of Kenosha County, Wisconsin, during a routine traffic stop in 2007. His murderer, Ezeiquel Lopez-Quintero, was an illegal with four prior arrests. The federal statute would gut the popular Arizona law and any similar bill passed by another state.

If such cases make it to court, Obama simply drops them. The Department of Homeland Security made headlines just today when word leaked the agency was systematically dismissing “thousands” of deportation cases pending against illegal immigrants nationwide – 2,500 in Houston alone. Last week, John Morton wrote a memo that could let off as many as 17,000 illegals who are related to American citizens.

Also today, DHS gave the word that Secretary Janet Napolitano is likely to ignore a congressionally mandated program to assure legal immigrants do not overstay their visas by fingerprinting them as they leave. Some 40-45 percent of all illegal immigrants – that is, 6-10 million people – have entered the country this way.

These stealth amnesty measures for traffic violators and visa-holders should ring an eerie echo for all Americans. Six of the 9/11 hijackers overstayed their visas, and two were stopped for a non-violent traffic arrest.

Although some of the hijackers arrived on student visas, the Obama administration has also exempted all otherwise-law abiding illegals of college age. The New York Times reported that the government has stopped deporting young illegals earlier this month – an exemption thatapplies to 726,000 people. Why? Tuscon’s KGUN-TV reports the case of Marlen Moreno, a woman brought to America illegally as a young girl who was about to be deported. Instead, Napolitano allowed her to stay an extra year:

The reason: If passed, she would be eligible for the DREAM act.

The DREAM Act allows illegals who complete two years of college or receive an honorable discharge to receive amnesty. Although the bill has not passed, and admitting thousands of poorly educated young people into underfunded colleges would have disastrous effects on higher education, Obama is keeping these illegals on hand in case the Democratic majority rams it through during a lame duck session.

Amnesty may come even if Congress does nothing. In June, the Center for Immigration Studiesobtained a memo from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that threatened to imposeamnesty by fiat. It discussed “meaningful immigration reform absent legislative action” by “issuing new guidance and regulations, exercising discretion with regard to parole-in-place, deferred action” and “process improvements.” Although Obama administration officials insist the memo was merely a “draft” that somehow got put together – a creative, amnesty-granting snafu – former Bush administration officials who were part of behind-the-scenes talks vouch that the fascist plan is on the table.

It is no wonder the ICE union passed a vote of no confidence against John Morton, who is in charge of (non-)enforcement. Obama appointed Harold Hurtt head of ICE’s “state and local coordination” office, although Hurtt is an advocate of sanctuary cities and an opponent of local immigration enforcement.

Obama is stalling immigration’s enforcement and prevention machinery in hopes of legalizing the alien population and turning them into loyal Democratic voters.

Although 68 percent of Americans support building a border fence, the federal government has built only half of the 700-mile fence authorized in 2006 – at least, only half is an actual fence. An additional 300 miles of “fence” stop automobiles but not humans. Some of the fence is“wildlife friendly” – allowing animals and humans to cross. One such stretch borders the farm of Robert Krentz, who was allegedly murdered by an illegal alien in March.

Some of his defenders point to the fact that fines on employers are up – a welcome development – tripling to $3 million. However, Fox News found “arrests and deportations of illegals taken into custody at work sites plummeted by more than 80 percent from the last year of the Bush administration.” Coincidentally, this strategy raises much-needed funds for Obama’s Big Government schemes while leaving illegal immigrants free to wait for amnesty.

Despite media reports of record-breaking enforcement, experts find deportations have fallen for the first time since 2002.

Pretenses of “cracking down on the border” are Obama’s way of quelling unrest so he can pass “Comprehensive Immigration Reform.” President George W. Bush did the same thing the last two years of his presidency. In fact, the Secure Communities program responsible for the majority of Obama’s deportations this year began in 2007 under Bush.

ICE is ignoring the will of the people because 67 percent of Hispanics voted for Barack Obama in 2008. So did 79 percent of Hispanic youth – the beneficiaries of the DREAM Act. If they were citizens, their sheer numbers would swallow up many bastions of traditional conservatism, and their voting patterns would ensure a left-wing majority for decades to come. No wonder the Center for Immigration Studies is hosting a conference asking, “Can Conservatism Survive Mass Immigration?”

The better question is, Can America survive Obama?

Did Someone Say Moat at the Border? Was That With Or Without Alligators?

As Obama’s 2012 Campaign winds up the issue of anchor babies, open borders and amnesty has already been raised. Seems time for a little review, beginning with anchor babies. Below are some immigration eye-openers.  Yesterday we covered anchor babies… today, securing the border.

Obama Jokes That Mexican Border Needs a Moat in his speech on immigration in El Paso last week.  Seems Obama might for once be on the same page with most Americans!

Obama and the Alligator

By George Neumayr on 5.12.11 @ 6:08AM  -  American Spectator

Having hit his stride in the polls, Barack Obama seems to clutch the teleprompter less tightly these days. He looked relaxed as he addressed the subject of "immigration reform" on Tuesday and even attempted a semi-cavalier joke at the expense of those concerned about America's porous borders. "Maybe they'll need a moat," he said, dismissing their calls for more border security. "Maybe they want alligators in the moat."

George W. Bush had broached the idea of de facto amnesty shortly before 9/11, then the subject vanished. A joke about alligators in moats wouldn't have been welcome in the days after Osama bin Laden hit the country. But now that he is gone, Obama can make one and try his hand at the issue of illegal immigration.

In his speech in El Paso, he downplayed concerns about border insecurity while insisting that he has responded to them effectively: "the truth is the measures we've put in place are getting results. Over the past two and a half years, we've seized 31 percent more drugs, 75 percent more currency, 64 percent more weapons than ever before. And even as we have stepped up patrols, apprehensions along the border have been cut by nearly 40 percent from two years ago. That means far fewer people are attempting to cross the border illegally."

Would he have done any of this on his own without the political backlash to open borders? No, but he sounds at times as if he did. He followed, not led, on the issue, yet says those who saw a problem on the borders where he didn't are still crying wolf.

The crowd to whom he was appealing with his moat joke found his listing of border security accomplishments beside the point. As he began to say that he had complied with requests to build a fence, an audience member shouted, "Tear it down." As he referenced those calling for more measures, another audience member shouted, "They're racist."

Later in the speech, Obama invited this audience to "add your voices to this debate" and "sign up to help at whitehouse.gov."

Obama presents himself as a forthright leader of "immigration reform" even as he avoids defining reform in open terms. Still having to follow the public a bit, he has to couch his calls for what amounts to selective amnesty between vaguely reassuring lines about the importance of enforcing the law and the "responsibility" that illegal immigrants bear. This sounds like he wants current laws enforced, but he doesn't, at least not consistently. He considers these laws unjust and wants them discarded. That's what is meant by reform.

Another rhetorical sleight of hand in the speech was to mix the issue of illegal immigration into a safer enthusiasm for America as a nation of immigrants. To oppose "reform" that accommodates illegal immigration is not to deny the benefits of legal immigration. But Obama tries to leave that implication.

"[T]he flow of immigrants has helped make this country stronger and more prosperous. We can point to the genius of Einstein, the designs of I.M. Pei, the stories of Isaac Asimov, the entire industries that were forged by Andrew Carnegie," he said, as if to place the flow of illegal immigrants on the same plane.

One would think a speech in El Paso might have honed in on the flow of illegal immigrants from Mexico, but Obama seemed more interested in talking about immigrants in the high-tech industry, as if the issue under discussion was whether or not to let geniuses from India and Asian countries work at Google.

"We should make it easier for the best and the brightest to not only stay here, but also to start businesses and create jobs here. In recent years, a full 25 percent of high-tech startups in the U.S. were founded by immigrants," he said. "That led to 200,000 jobs here in America. I'm glad those jobs are here. I want to see more of them created in this country. We need to provide them the chance."

Opposition to "comprehensive immigration reform" is hardly stuck on that issue, but it is easier for Obama to push on open doors like that one than to talk about the real problems of an open border.

Yes Mr. President, I Do Want Alligators in My Moat

By Lauri B. ReganAmerican Thinker

In yet another one of Obama's highly touted campaign speeches (are there any other type?), the President once again chose to use derisive rhetoric to whip up the masses against those horrible Republicans.  Obama attempted to put the GOP on the defensive by suggesting that Republicans not only want the country surrounded by a moat to prevent evil immigrants from entering, but that in order to ensure success, they would fill the moat with alligators.

Apparently, the only result that Obama achieved from these ridiculous and extremely un-presidential one-liners was an electorate feeling complete and utter disgust at his obnoxious display of arrogance with regard to such an important domestic issue.  The country is in economic turmoil and is being threatened by terrorists who originate in the Middle East and Northern Africa but who are crossing our borders undetected, and our president wants to lead from behind so that he can campaign (and bash Republicans) from in front.

Well Mr. President, I am proud to say that I do want alligators in a moat that protects our country.  And I hope to God that you have one or more decision-makers in your administration that understand that it will take a lot more than killing Osama bin Laden and occasional drone strikes in Afghanistan to protect the citizens who hired you for that job.  For while you traverse the country spiking the football and fundraising for the 2012 election, there are way too many terrorists who want to see each and every U.S. citizen dead and who are not taking time out of their planning stages to play golf; party with hateful, racist rappers; and hobnob with the rich and famous at $35,000 a plate dinners.

In addition to the more than $500,000 that Obama spends on speechwriters, he also pays up to $100,000 to an outside public relations firm that he apparently uses for teleprompter lessons, "speech preparation training," "speech writing services," and "speech coaching services."  Obama likely feels as if each of the meaningless metaphors that his speechwriters develop is worth the price we pay, but I am getting sick and tired of his kitschy, fighting rhetoric designed to pit citizen against citizen.  And it sickens me that the American taxpayer is paying for the garbage that comes out of this President's mouth -- the man who urges civility is the most hypocritical, uncivil President in the history of the country.  And it stems from his flawed character and single-minded desire to remain in power.

And in that regard, Obama has something in common with the people from whom this country needs protection.  So before joking about border security, perhaps Mr. Obama should visit the U.S. towns in the southwest that are on the front lines of dealing with the issue of illegal immigration and Mexican drug cartels.  For Barack Obama cares more about picking up the votes of the millions of illegal immigrants and the American Hispanic community than he does about helping U.S. citizens in need of protection from dangerous criminals.

Of particular concern to our country's national security, however, is the growing presence of Hezb'allah just south of our Mexican border.  Does the President need a refresher course in the terrorist tactics of Hezb'allah, "recognized by many experts as the 'A' team of Muslim terrorist organizations," according to a U.S. intelligence expert?  According to this agent, "[w]e are looking at 15 or 20 years that Hezb'allah has been setting up shop in Mexico...I consider Hezb'allah much more dangerous in that sense because of strategic thinking; they think more long-term."  Hezb'allah's long-term plans include their continued partnership with the drug cartels involving the exchange of Hezb'allah expertise for cash and protection.  So while Hezb'allah trains Mexican drug lords in the arts of firearms and explosives and sophisticated tunnel development, President Obama believes that extensive plans to secure the southern border are just an irresistible opportunity to slap the GOP that takes the issue quite seriously.

If building a moat and filling it with alligators is what it takes to protect the American people, my children, family, neighbors, and friends, then I expect our elected leaders to do just that.  What I do not expect the President of the United States to do is laugh it up at his adversaries' expense in order to gain political momentum in the face of falling poll numbers.  American values, freedoms, and lives are on the line daily and I am sick of this administration calling me racist, Islamaphobic, conservative, evil, or whatever label the next hired gun comes up with to describe U.S. citizens who recognize that the country is at war and secure borders are no laughing matter.  I want a President who will not demean me, his fellow citizens, the other elected officials chosen to lead at the State and Federal level, and those who disagree with him.  That is beneath the office of the President and it shows contempt for the very people who elected him.

So as Obama announces yet another outreach to the world's Muslims, I await my disgust at listening to him offer carrots to a people who feel nothing but disdain for America and its President.  And I have no expectation that he will call a spade a spade and denounce Islamic jihadists.  I fully expect to hear Obama throw out yet another euphemism to describe the state of the Mideast's turmoil rather than use the absurd phrases "overseas contingency operation" and "man-caused disaster" to describe the war and the terrorist acts committed by members of the population to whom he will be speaking (the majority of whom either support such acts or remain silent in their face).

And since Obama has a pattern of denouncing American's ally, Israel, I cannot help but wonder what part of the Muslim speech will resemble the alligators in the moat phrase -- for Israel too needs secure borders and sadly, a moat filled with alligators will not suffice when she is surrounded by enemies with sophisticated weaponry that can reach all of her major cities.  But I am sure Obama will have some sort of castigating remark about Israeli settlements causing the lack of peace in the Mideast and questioning Israelis' expectation of secure borders at the expense of the Palestinian people who terrorize her innocent civilians.

And so, as we watch video clips of 6 year old girls getting felt up and 7 month old babies getting felt down by TSA agents who are being trained to turn off their brains and stop using common sense, we are being led from behind by a man who makes jokes about our national security.  Will it take terrorist attacks in southern U.S. towns before this administration stops campaigning, stops making jokes, and takes their job seriously?  From a President who labels the rapper Common as a "socially conscious" poet; who befriended terrorist Bill Ayers and anti-Semites Rashid Khalidi and Reverend Wright; and whose administration labels the Muslim Brotherhood and Syrian dictator Bashir al Assad as moderate, we can only hope that in 2012, the American people build a moat around the White House, fill it with hungry Republicans, and hang signs that say Obamas Keep Out.

Great Idea Obama… Thought Katie M from AsAMom

I created this design.  I think that the alligator infested moat is a really good idea for the following reasons:

1. digging the moat = jobs

2. Pouring cement and filling moat with water =jobs

3. transporting alligators from Florida = more jobs

4 Alligators would even have jobs!!!!

5. maintenance of moat = jobs

6. veterinarians taking care of alligators = jobs

7. Tourists going to see moat = jobs!

8. Swimming through alligator infested water wins you Amnesty.

This is the Best Idea Obama EVER had!!!!

Comment by (my friend) Sue Hooper

Katie, you don't have to go to Florida, there are plenty in Louisiana. In fact, I've got $5.00 that says there are gators swimming along the gulf coast right now.

Update: A procedural note about H.R. 5281 and the DREAM Act

by Michelle Malkin on Monday, December 20, 2010 at 9:57am

There is a bit of confusion on the Internet that needs to be cleared up about the Democrats’ plans for the DREAM Act.

A number of readers have pointed to a weekend post at FreeRepublic.com warning that the DREAM Act is “hidden” in another bill, H.R. 5281.

Senate staff explained to me today that DREAM was passed as an amendment to HR 5281 in the House and it was sent over as a “message,” which gave it privileged status so the Senate didn’t have to vote on a motion to proceed (simply a cloture vote). My Senate staff source added that it essentially gave the Democrats an avenue to bypass a procedural hurdle in the Senate, but since the Senate failed to proceed to the 3rd amendment (the DREAM Act), it is dead and HR 5281 does not include it.

All that said, as you know from my longtime coverage of the open-borders lobby, they never give up.

I’ve been using this Bush 43-era graphic of the night of the living shamnesty with good reason for years:

So while the Senate cloture vote on Saturday killed the stand-alone DREAM Act yet again, no doubt it will be back in some form or another. As I pointed out over the weekend, Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell’s troubling remark that the illegal alien student bailout “should be dealt with next year” opens the door for a Republican version of the bill that forced retiree Utah Sen. Bob Bennett telegraphed last week.

Remember: There are soft-on-illegal-immigration radicals in both parties. Whatever election-year lip service they might pay to border enforcement, none can be trusted to do the right thing without your constant bucking up.

Vigilance.

Be sure to send a special message of thanks to GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions for his stalwart opposition and leadership in stopping another down payment on amnesty.

On December 3, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs, Nelson Peacock, responding to request from several U.S. Senators, including Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), wrote: “Our conservative estimate suggests that ICE would require a budget of more than $135 billion to apprehend, detain and remove the nation’s entire illegal immigrant population.”

In July 2010, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) released the results of a study which examined the costs of illegal immigration at the federal, state and local levels. The study found that U.S. state and local governments shell out $84.2 billion annually in various services (law enforcement, schools, social services, etc.), with California taxpayers alone, spending $21 billion on illegal aliens every year.

The same study found that $29 billion is spent every year in federal funds on illegal aliens.

So, while it would cost a one-time fee of about $135 billion to deport every single illegal alien in the country, it is actually a bargain considering the fact that it already costs us $113 billion annually to keep them here.

In other words, the mass deportation would pay for itself in a little over a year.

Incidentally, in 2007, the DHS estimated the cost of deporting all illegal aliens to be approximately $94 billion.

Ten Things You Need To Know About S.3827, The DREAM Act Share

Fox:  Reid Angers GOP by Filing Four Versions of the Dream Act Without Hearing

Common Sense Look at Immigration

Dream On

By Senator Jeff Sessions  -  Thursday, November 18 2010

1. The DREAM Act Is NOT Limited to Children, And It Will Be Funded On the Backs Of Hard Working, Law-Abiding Americans
Proponents of the DREAM Act frequently claim the bill offers relief only to illegal alien “kids.” Incredibly, previous versions of the DREAM Act had no age limit at all, so illegal aliens of any age who satisfied the Act’s requirements—not just children—could obtain lawful permanent resident (LPR) status. In response to this criticism, S.3827 includes a requirement that aliens be under the age of 35 on the date of enactment to be eligible for LPR status. Even with this cap, many aliens would be at least 41 years old before obtaining full LPR status under the Act—hardly the “kids” the Act’s advocates keep talking about.
The DREAM Act requires that DHS/USCIS process all DREAM Act applications (applications that would require complex, multi-step adjudication) without being able to increase fees to handle processing. This mandate would require either additional Congressional appropriations, or for USCIS, a primarily fee-funded agency, to raise fees on other types of immigration benefit applications. This would unfairly spread the cost of administering the DREAM Act legalization program among applicants and petitioners who have abided by U.S. laws and force taxpayers to pay for amnesty. Taxpayers would also be on the hook for all Federal benefits the DREAM Act seeks to offer illegal aliens, including student loans and grants.

2. The DREAM Act PROVIDES SAFE HARBOR FOR ANY ALIEN, Including Criminals, From Being Removed or Deported If They Simply Submit An Application
Although DREAM Act proponents claim it will benefit only those who meet certain age, presence, and educational requirements, amazingly the Act protects ANY alien who simply submits an application for status no matter how frivolous. The bill forbids the Secretary of Homeland Security from removing “any alien who has a pending application for conditional status” under the DREAM Act—regardless of age or criminal record—providing a safe harbor for all illegal aliens. This loophole will open the floodgates for applications that could stay pending for many years or be litigated as a delay tactic to prevent the illegal aliens’ removal from the United States. The provision will further erode any chances of ending the rampant illegality and fraud in the existing system.

3. Certain Criminal Aliens Will Be Eligible For Amnesty Under The DREAM Act
Certain categories of criminal aliens will be eligible for the DREAM Act amnesty, including alien gang members and aliens with misdemeanor convictions, even DUIs. The DREAM Act allows illegal aliens guilty of the following offenses to be eligible for amnesty: alien absconders (aliens who failed to attend their removal proceedings), aliens who have engaged in voter fraud or unlawfully voted, aliens who have falsely claimed U.S. citizenship, aliens who have abused their student visas, and aliens who have committed marriage fraud. Additionally, illegal aliens who pose a public health risk, aliens who have been permanently barred from obtaining U.S. citizenship, and aliens who are likely to become a public charge are also eligible.

4. Estimates Suggest That At Least 2.1 Million Illegal Aliens Will Be Eligible For the DREAM Act Amnesty. In Reality, We Have No Idea How Many Illegal Aliens Will Apply
Section 4(d) of the DREAM Act waives all numerical limitations on green cards, and prohibits any numerical limitation on the number of aliens eligible for amnesty under its provisions. The Migration Policy Institute estimates that the DREAM Act will make approximately 2.1 million illegal aliens eligible for amnesty. It is highly likely that the number of illegal aliens receiving amnesty under the DREAM Act will be much higher than the estimated 2.1 million due to fraud and our inherent inability to accurately estimate the illegal alien population. Clearly, the message sent by the DREAM Act will be that if any young person can enter the country illegally, within 5 years, they will be placed on a path to citizenship.

5. Illegal Aliens Will Get In-State Tuition Benefits
The DREAM Act will allow illegal aliens to qualify for in-state tuition, even when it is not being offered to U.S. citizens and legally present aliens living just across state lines. Section 3 of the DREAM Act repeals Section 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1623) which prohibits giving education benefits to an unlawfully present individual unless that same benefit is offered to all U.S. citizens.

6. The DREAM Act Does Not Require That An Illegal Alien Finish Any Type of Degree (Vocational, Two-Year, or Bachelor’s Degree) As A Condition of Amnesty
DREAM Act supporters would have you believe that the bill is intended to benefit illegal immigrants who have graduated from high school and are on their way to earning college degrees. However, the bill is careful to ensure that illegal alien high school drop-outs will also be put on a pathway to citizenship – they simply have to get a GED and be admitted to “an institution of higher education,” defined by the Higher Education Act of 1965.
Under the Higher Education Act, an “institution of higher education” includes institutions that provide 2-year programs (community colleges) and any “school that provides not less than a 1-year program of training to prepare students for gainful employment” (a vocational school). Within 8 years of the initial grant of status, the alien must prove only that they finished 2 years of a bachelor’s degree program, not that they completed any program or earned any degree.
If the alien is unable to complete 2 years of college but can demonstrate that their removal would result in hardship to themselves or their U.S. citizen or LPR spouse, child, or parent, the education requirement can be waived altogether.

7. The DREAM Act does not require that an illegal alien serve in the military as a condition for amnesty, and There is ALREADY A Legal Process In Place For Illegal Aliens to Obtain U.S. Citizenship Through Military Service
DREAM Act supporters would have you believe that illegal aliens who don’t go to college will earn their citizenship through service in the U.S. Armed Forces. However, the bill does not require aliens to join the U.S. Armed Forces (the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard); instead it requires enlistment in the “uniformed services.” This means that aliens need only go to work for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or Public Health Service for 2 years to get U.S. citizenship. If the alien is unable to complete 2 years in the “uniformed services,” and can demonstrate that their removal would result in hardship to themselves or their U.S. citizen or LPR spouse, child, or parent, the military service requirement can be waived altogether. Such claims will likely engender much litigation and place a huge burden on DHS.
Furthermore, under current law (10 USC § 504), the Secretary of Defense can authorize the enlistment of illegal aliens. Once enlisted in the U.S. Armed Forces, under 8 USC § 1440, these illegal aliens can become naturalized citizens through expedited processing, often obtaining U.S. citizenship in six months.

8. Despite Their Current Illegal Status, DREAM Act Aliens Will Be Given All The Rights That Legal Immigrants Receive—Including The Legal Right To Sponsor Their Parents and Extended Family Members For Immigration
Under current federal law, U.S. citizens have the right to immigrate their “immediate relatives” to the U.S. without regard to numerical caps. Similarly, lawful permanent residents can immigrate their spouses and children to the U.S. as long as they retain their status. This means illegal aliens who receive amnesty under the DREAM Act will have the right to immigrate their family members—including the parents who sent for or brought them to the U.S. illegally in the first place—in unlimited numbers as soon as they become U.S. citizens (6 to 8 years after enactment) and are 21 years of age.
Additionally, amnestied aliens who become U.S. citizens will be able to petition for their adult siblings living abroad to immigrate to the U.S., further incentivizing chain migration and potentially illegal entry into the United States (for those who don’t want to wait for the petition process overseas). When an adult brother or sister receives a green card, the family (spouse and children) of the adult sibling receive green cards as well.

9. Current Illegal Aliens Will Get Federal Student Loans, Federal Work Study Programs, and Other Forms of Federal Financial Aid
Section 10 of the DREAM Act allows illegal aliens amnestied under the bill’s provisions to qualify for federal student assistance under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.) in the form of federal student loans (Stafford Loans, Perkins Loans, Federal Direct Stafford/Ford Loans), federal work-study programs, and other federal education services such as tutoring and counseling.

10. DHS Is Prohibited From Using the Information Provided By Illegal Aliens Whose DREAM Act Amnesty Applications Are Denied To Initiate Their Removal Proceedings or Investigate or Prosecute Fraud in the Application Process
When an illegal alien’s DREAM Act amnesty application is denied, the bill states that the alien will revert to their “previous immigration status,” which is likely illegal or deportable. The bill, however, prohibits using any of the information contained in the amnesty application (name, address, length of illegal presence that the alien admits to, etc) to initiate a removal proceeding or investigate or prosecute fraud in the application process. Thus, it will be extremely hard for DHS to remove aliens who they now know are illegally present in the U.S., because illegal aliens will be able to claim that the legal action is a product of the amnesty application, and DHS will have the nearly impossible task of proving a negative.
