| From the News Ranch I stopped in at the Sierra Times News Ranch and found a column from last month by JJ Johnson. Some of you might be familiar with him because I’ve posted his stuff before. Anyway if you’re not burn out on the immigration thing he has a good read. Immigration: To Add or Remove Stars on the U.S. Flag

The Hispanic population now residing in the United States should be thanked for giving the rest of America a well deserved and needed slap in the face over the past two weeks. Real Americans have become outraged over an army of foreigners and their sympathizers parading through the streets, proudly waving a foreign flag. The outrage is not over a hatred of Mexico or her people, but knowing our history in that waving of a flag of your nation through the streets of a country not your own, without fear of reprisal, is not done as a symbol of protest…
…but as a symbol of victory over the conquered.
That's right - allow this writer to plow through all the conventional wisdom, and political dogma from both the left and the right. Unless there is an abrupt course correction (which I doubt after this week's meeting in Cancun, Mexico), America as a nation is in its last chapter, we are no longer a superpower, and have all but lost the credibility to call ourselves a sovereign nation.
Here's proof: Unlike most other nations of the world, we can't protect our own national borders.
Those civilian volunteers that stand watch on our borders at the time of this writing represent what is left of the once great nation called America. They will be mocked of course, as our society has long since accepted that any concept of protecting this nations' heritage, culture or historical roots (or in this case, even its borders) is seen as extremist, bigoted, xenophobic… you fill in the blank. Over the years, our educational institutions produce just enough self-hating white people to insure that voices of dissent over policy must be tempered ('civil debate' as we were told) to ensure that that only the American Majority may be insulted.
Unless given support from the Silent Majority, the America's new minuteman along with U.S. Border Patrol Agents will find their positions overrun and out-flanked, as the green light has been given to all who wish to occupy our land - signaled by the fearless waving of the flag of their homeland over U.S. Soil.
Do I blame the Mexican government? The Mexican People? Hardly. Those that say illegal immigration is a matter of supply and demand are correct. No "guest worker" program will work. No attempted collection of back taxes will work. Those that hire illegals will simply replace the "documented" workers with the next shipment of "undocumented". Those in power will turn a blind eye to the issue because after all: It's good for business and more important: no one wants to be accused of being "racist".
For those that love to point fingers, let's all be racists for a moment, shall we?
Many illegal trespassers from Mexico and (points south) have children which are American by birthright. Despite all the talk of gangs and other criminal activity, many have more "nuclear" families than our own. They (Latinos) on average have more children that other racial groups in America. Thankfully, the American political left (mostly white) have successfully argued that a women in fact has the "right to choose". Yep, despite the estimate of illegal trespassers in this country, their numbers are dwarfed by the number of aborted children since Roe vs Wade.
Newsflash: Caucasians are no longer the majority in California, the most populous state in the Union.
And as for black people - Should we even go there? Just as black folks are beginning to realize that they now must move to the back of the 'civil rights' bus, and hurricanes don't have affirmative action programs, they are now being tossed overboard by a Democrat Party who now see a new minority to exploit. And let's not discuss at least 25 percent of the black male population that has been killed off, drugged off, or jailed off.
Have I struck a nerve, Mr. and Ms. American of African decent? Good. I wasn't among those that kept telling you voting along party lines would solve your problems. I wasn't among those telling you to make government your new 'god'. I have been among those calling for you to remove the prefix "African" from the word American when describing yourselves. Perhaps now, before you are politically phased out completely, some of you might rethink your status when it comes to American citizenship and political patronage.
The April 1, 2006 Democratic Response to the President's radio address was given by Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry in Spanish, not hip-hop. Like I said, there's a new minority to exploit.
Suddenly, multiculturalism is dead, or at least in a severe coma right now. But I digress…
This observation is not to let the conservatives off the hook be any means. Alas, witness the fruits of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) - the unconstitutional act pushed by Republicans and President Clinton to help reduce the flow in illegal immigrants in the this country, and to create a 'level playing field'. Analysts from both sides of the political aisle agree that NAFTA has devastated the Mexican economy to the point of the United States being flooded with economic refugees along with the political and criminal ones. Fear not, GOP: The Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) is in its early stages.
Republicans, who consistently campaign on less government, do nothing to remove the bureaucracy or regulation and taxations from businesses that should hire Americans to do work in America, thus forcing American businesses to BREAK THE RULES by seeking cheap, exploitation-ready labor just to "compete in the global market place". There you have it. Republican, Democrat. Choose your poison. Benjamin Franklin said, "…We gave you a Republic - if you can keep it…". Sorry, Ben, We may be on the verge of losing this one.
Do you see where this is going, America?
