Why are people like this allowed to stay in Britain?
In the United States, former presidential candidate and journalist, Pat
Buchanan is again stirring controversy by trying to give sight to the
willfully blind. An open border that allows anyone to come to the United
States, he asserts, means the country is headed for self-destruction.
Buchanan's figures are irrefutable: one in 12 illegal immigrants has a
criminal record; by 2050 there will be 100 million Hispanics (at current
immigration rates) concentrated in the American Southwest, as some radicals
plot to undo the results of the Mexican-American War. (Since May 2006,
Border Patrol agents have arrested more than 160,000 illegals, more than the
number of troops currently deployed in Iraq.)
Buchanan criticizes the president and the Republican Congress ("a wholly
owned subsidiary of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce") for caring more about
cheap labor than the health and strength of the country. He wants a
deportation program and a strict limit on legal immigration until those
already here are properly assimilated and those who are committing crimes
are deported. He also wants a 2,000-mile, double-line security fence along
the U.S.-Mexico border, no matter what Mexico thinks. Read all about it in
his new book, "State of Emergency: Third World Invasion and Conquest of
America."
Abraham Lincoln said that no nation could exist half slave and half free.
Neither can a nation exist half united and half disunited.
President Bush says it is essential we win the war in Iraq because our
security depends on it. So does winning the war on the home front. When will
we start fighting that war and stop the political pandering by both parties?
