The federal government is now telling American citizens to stay out of three southern Arizona counties. It is too dangerous because of armed smugglers from Mexico.

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu: Quite frankly I’m telling you as a sheriff that we don’t control that part of the county. My county is larger than the state of Connecticut and we need support from the federal government. It’s their job to secure the border and they haven’t done it. In fact President Obama suspended the construction of the fence.

FOX News reporter: Would you like to see some of the president’s outrage about the oil spill and some of the butt-kicking that he’s talked about doing applied there on the border as well?

Sheriff Paul Babeu: Even with that, you say one thing and then you’re out at a fundraiser in California and you don’t go to the funeral of the people who died in the explosion. You know its one thing to say something slick on television in a ten second soundbite but we need action. And, it’s shameful that we as the most powerful nation on earth can win wars and liberate countries throughout history yet we can’t even secure our own border

Did you happen to catch Governor Terminator talking about Judgement Day in California? Mr. Schwarzenegger went on the tube this past week to tell us that “We can only spend what we have. That is the harsh but simple reality,” he said in the rare midyear appearance before a joint Legislature session. “Our wallet is empty, our bank is closed and our credit is dried up.”[Schwarzenegger sees opportunity in budget crisis, By Juliet Williams, Associated Press, June 2, 2009,]

Earlier talk of a Federal bailout was judged a poor idea by many, including the Washington Post in a May 24 editorial, just as General Motors went into bankruptcy with billions of our tax dollars as an inducement.

And just now, in responding to the Governor’s urgent message for cutting costs, the California Senate passed a bill to give driver’s licences to illegal aliens.

As if losing an average of almost 600,000 jobs a month in the US should mean we make it easier for the illegal aliens to stay here and to get to jobs American citizens don’t have.

 But then, of course, our helpful Federal government is bowing to strong business pressure and allowing over 100,000 legal aliens a month to come here to the US on various brands of work visas.

How many to California? Well here’s a bit of basic demography.

Since the 1965 changes in our immigration laws, we have added huge numbers of immigrants and their children to our national population. In 1970 California’s population was about 20 million. Today, that population is estimated at about 37 million. Of those, the Center for Immigration Studies estimates about 10 million are legal (7 million) and illegal (3 million) immigrants. 35% of all Californians are persons of Hispanic origin, principally Mexicans. Over 8 million Californians were born outside the USA.

Just on the sheer numbers alone, it is not hard to see why California is now bankrupt.

I am a long-time San Francisco Democrat, now transplanted to Washington D.C. So recently I wrote Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi to ask why we didn’t fix our broken immigration system. This was her June 5, 2009 email reply?

“I have long called for comprehensive immigration reform to address the growing disconnect between our nation’s immigration policy and the reality on the ground in cities and communities across our country. Our immigration system needs to honor the promise of America and recognize the enormous contributions immigrants make to our nation. We must enact immigration reform that is humane and honors our American tradition of being a nation of immigrants and a land of opportunity for all. At the same time, we must secure our borders, enforce our laws, and ensure the safety of the American people.

While immigration reform remains an unsolved challenge for our nation, we must recognize that America was built by immigrants, and the immigrant community continues to make significant contributions to our nation. The debate on immigration reform must be framed by our nation’s rich tradition of respect for our shared immigrant heritage. Please be assured that I will keep your comments in mind as I work with President Obama, leadership and the committees of jurisdiction to develop a strategy to advance immigration legislation that promotes our core American values.”

Can you imagine such chutzpah? You know her “comprehensive immigration reform” simply means “amnesty” for the 20 million illegal aliens here now and encouraging many more later. We know the fiasco that the 1986 immigration reform legislation proved to be.

And believe me House Speaker Pelosi is not alone. Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) recently held very unbalanced hearings on “comprehensive immigration reform” which failed to give time to those opposed to the massive giveaway of American citizenships.

But it really gets much worse if one is trying to calculate the fiscal effect on California–and project what this means for America.

Folks, California is the biggest example of the famous canary in the coal mine theory ever. Remember, until 1986 in the U.K., canaries were regularly used in coal mines as an early warning system. The birds died in the presence of toxic gases. Because canaries tend to sing much of the time, they provided both a visual and audible cue.

California is certainly getting toxic budgetary news. It is killing the economy and all that this once-vaunted state had to offer in the way of education and environment, making it the envy of the world. The decline I have personally observed is obvious to so many I talk to, yet this fiscal death notice to California which has counterparts in other states, does not seem to worry other Americans—yet.

Fortunately, thanks to a careful and exhaustive research report by Steve Camarota, Director of Research at the Center for Immigration  Studies, entitled “Immigrants in the United States, 2007: A profile of America’s Foreign-Born Population” we learn that:

“Of adult immigrants, 31 percent have not completed high school, compared to 8 percent of natives. Since 2000, immigration increased the number of workers without a high school diploma by 14 percent, and all other workers by 3 percent.

“The proportion of immigrant-headed households using at least one major welfare program is 33 percent, compared to 19 percent for native households.

“The poverty rate for immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) is 17 percent, nearly 50 percent higher than the rate for natives and their children.

“34 percent of immigrants lack health insurance, compared to 13 percent of natives. Immigrants and their U.S.-born children account for 71 percent of the increase in the uninsured since 1989.”

All this means more public costs, more demands on government resources.

How long will this madness continue? California Governor Pete Wilson tried long ago to get help from our Federal Government, but those elected officials knew better than to try to buck the industrial-military complex that now rules our former Republic. Those worthies (notice in what high regard our Congress is rated in the polls) handle immigration like a political popularity contest where the more cheap labor you support importing, the more money flows to re-elect you from the coffers of business.

Result: Just take a look at the bloated California budget. And then we learn that the City of Oakland, California will be soon joining San Francisco in giving all residents including illegal aliens ID cards. That can only serve to add to that city’s nearly $100 million deficit, as public services will now flow to illegal aliens and their anchor babies.

Of course the California voters don’t want to pay to fix this mess. In the May special election, voters rejected all five budget-related measures placed on the ballot by Schwarzenegger and legislative leaders. Revenue has continued to plummet as residents have reduced spending and unemployment has soared to 11 percent.

I predict that as matters get worse—and they surely will–Californians and all Americans will finally wake up to the fact that unchecked immigration, wanton use of the public trough and loss of expected public services will cause a revolt by voters.

But for now too many are sitting on their hands, fat, dumb and perhaps apprehensive but unwilling to take part in the political rough and tumble. Sad that corrective action will likely not happen before devastation to our culture, our traditions, our comity and the prosperity we have enjoyed.

California has had many recent internal signs of overuse and unsustainability. For example, the fish resources of the state have precipitously declined and the commercial salmon fishing season is now closed, while when reasonable new regulations to save the salmon have been proposed, Terminator Schwarzenegger has sided with the farmers who keep degrading the free water they abuse, so that renewal of this great resource is imperilled.

California is the Big Canary. It’s dying—and Americans had better take notice.

4:30 p.m. update: State police now say they have identified the two men arrested Tuesday as Carlos Cardenas-Fonseca, 22, and Jose Antonino-Velazco, 28, both of Gervais, and say the men provided incorrect names when they were arrested. Both are being held in Jackson County Jail on drug charges and immigration holds, police say.

2:20 p.m. story: Oregon State Police troopers arrested two men and seized 565 small marijuana plants from a pickup early Tuesday during a traffic stop on Interstate 5 in the Medford area.

At 2:10 a.m. Tuesday two OSP troopers stopped a 2001 Ford F-150 pickup that was seen speeding north I-5 near milepost 32, just south of Central Point, an OSP news release said.

During the stop, troopers saw growing marijuana seedlings in the bed of the pickup and rear passenger seat, the news release said. Their search led to the seizure of 565 plants and a bag containing about 11 ounces of processed marijuana.

The pickup’s driver Edwin B. Burgos, 20, of Corona, Calif., and passenger Antonio Velazco, 28, of Salem, were arrested and lodged in the Jackson County Jail on charges of possession, distribution and manufacture of marijuana.

Passage of the health care bill has sparked a revival of small-government thinking, causing many to predict significant Republican gains in Congress this fall. But despite some short-term success, this small-government revival is doomed to fail. The depressing truth is that the only way to regain the full measure of those freedoms proclaimed in our Founding Documents is for our current federal government to completely collapse under the weight of its own excesses.

Let It Burn.

I don’t know how everybody else feels about it, but to me I

think Hispanic people in this country, legally or illegally,

made a huge public relations mistake with their recent demonstrations.

I don’t blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to the

United States of America , as it is a truly wonderful place.  

But when the first thing you do when you set foot on American soil is illegal it is flat out wrong and I don’t care how many lala land left heads come out of the woodwork and start trying

to give me sensitivity lessons.

I don’t need sensitivity lessons, in fact I don’t have any-thing against Mexicans!  I just have something against criminals and anybody who comes into this country illegally is a criminal

and if you don’t believe it try coming into America from a foreign country without a passport and see how far you get. What disturbs me about the demonstrations is that it’s tanta-mount to saying, “I am going to come into your country even if it means breaking your laws and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

It’s an “in your face” action and speaking just for me, I don’t like it one little bit and if there were a half dozen pairs of gonads in Washington bigger than English peas it wouldn’t be happening.

Where are you, you bunch of lily livered, pantywaist, forked tongued, sorry excuses for defenders of The Constitution? Have you been drinking the water out of the Potomac again?

And even if you pass a bill on immigration it will probably be so pork laden and watered down that it won’t mean anything anyway Besides, what good is another law going to do when you

won’t enforce the ones on the books now? 

And what ever happened to the polls, guys?  I thought you folks were the quintessential finger wetters.  Well you sure ain’t paying any attention to the polls this time because somewhere around eighty percent of Americans want some thing done about this mess, and mess it is and getting bigger everyday. 

This is no longer a problem, it is a dilemma and headed for being a tragedy.  Do you honestly think that what happened in France with the Muslims can’t happen here when the businesses who hire these people finally run out of jobs and a few million disillusioned Hispanics take to the streets? 

If you, Mr. President, Congressmen and Senators, knuckle under on this and refuse to do something meaningful it means that you care nothing for the kind of country your children and grand-children will inherit.  But I guess that doesn’t matter as long as you get re-elected.

Shame on you. 

One of the big problems in America today is that if you have the nerve to say anything derogatory about any group of people (except Christians) you are going to be screamed at by the media and called a racist, a bigot and anything else they can think of to call you 

Well I’ve been pounded by the media before and I’m still rockin’ and rollin’ and when it comes to speaking the truth I fear not. 

And the truth is that the gutless, gonadless, milksop politicians are just about to sell out the United States of America because they don’t have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to face reality. 

And reality is that we would never allow any other group of people to have 12 million illegal in this country and turn around and say, “Oh it’s ok, ya’ll can stay here if you’ll just allow us to slap your wrist.”

And I know that some of you who read this column are saying “Well what’s wrong with that?” 

I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it.  These people could be from Mars as far as we know.  We don’t know who they are, where they are or what they’re up to and the way the Congress is going we’re not going to. 

Does this make sense?  Labor force you say?  We already subsidize corporate agriculture as it is, must we subsidize their labor as well? 

If these people were from Haiti would we be so fast to turn a blind eye to them or if they were from Somalia or Afghanistan ? 

I think not. 

All the media shows us are pictures of hard working Hispanics who have crossed the border just to try to better their life. 

They don’t show you pictures of the Feds rounding up members of MS 13, the violent gang who came across the same way the decent folks did.  They don’t tell you about the living conditions of the Mexican illegal some fat cat hired to pick his crop. 

I want to make two predictions. 

No. 1: This situation is going to grow and fester until it erupts in violence on our streets while the wimps in Washington drag their toes in the dirt and try to figure how many tons of political hay they can make to the acre. 

No 2: Somebody is going to cross that border with some kind of weapon of mass destruction and set it off in a major American city after which there will be a backlash such as this country has never experienced and the Capitol building in Washington will probably tilt as Congressmen and Senators rush to the other side of the issue.  

I don’t know about you but I would love to see just one major politician stand up and say, “I don’t care who I make mad  and I don’t care how many votes I lose, this is a desperate situation and I’m going to lead the fight to get it straightened out.” 

I don’t blame anybody for wanting to come to America , but if you don’t respect our immigration laws why should you respect any others?   

And by the way, this is America and our flag has stars and stripes  Please get that other one out of my face. 

God Bless America

MY COUNTRY

  IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY,

SPEAK UP!

I am not against immigration -

just come through like everyone else

Get a sponsor;

have a place to lay your head;

have a job;

pay your taxes;

live by the rules;

  and

LEARN THE LANGUAGE

as all other immigrants have in the past

and

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

PART OF THE PROBLEM

Think about this:

If you don’t want to forward this

for fear of offending someone,

YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

Will we still be the Country of choice

and still be America if we continue

to make the changes forced on us by

people from other countries who came

  to live in America because it is the

Country of Choice?

Think about it!

All we have to say is, when will

Someone do something about

MY RIGHTS?  

We’ve gone so far the other way,

bent over backwards to not

offend anyone, that I am now

  being offended.

But it seems no one has a problem

with that.

“In God We Trust”

is our national motto. This is not

some Christian, right wing, political slogan.

We adopted this motto because Christian men

  and women – on Christian principles – founded

  this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls

 of our schools.  

It is Time for America to Speak up

Time Square Bomber a Democrat and Obama Donor?.

Still tracking down that news but one thing is clear: he wasn’t a Tea Partier!

There are reports that Faisal Shahzad, the failed Time Square bomber was a registered Democrat in Connecticut and may be a donor to Obama’s campaign.

This comes after the Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg openly speculated that the bomber might be “somebody with a political agenda who doesn’t like the health care bill or something.”

Coming on the heels of repeated warnings from Obama, Bill Clinton and others that Tea Parties might lead to violence it was only natural for libs to assume this attack may have been inspired by opposition to Obama. But like the other baseless charges in Obama’s political repertoire, this one turned out to be false as well.

Homeland Security almost let terrorist slip away?

What’s worse than the overt profiling of Tea Partiers is the sheer incompetence of the Obama Administration which nearly let Faisal Shahzad get away. While security at the JFK airport in New York City was busy patting down little old ladies, Shahzad boarded his flight to the Middle East, the plane had began to pull away from the gate and only at the last second was the suspect caught.

How is it that a man whose name should have immediately placed him on a “no fly” list would be allowed to board a plane? Were counter terrorism agents spending too much time tracking down Tea Partiers?
 
Meanwhile, the Obama Administration has a “boot to the throat” of British Petroleum ten days AFTER the oil spill began in the Gulf of Mexico yet they don’t seem to be paying much attention to the growing problem of terrorism in the U.S.!
