Comment on: Americans First

American Idolatry

It will take backbone

The money and power arrayed against the American citizen on this issue is astonishing. Both parties, unions (teamsters excepted), churches, the Chamber of Commerce, big business, the ACLU, various ethnic groups (national council of the race, la raza in spanish, LULAC, etc.), most of the media, the list goes on. First we have to stop the amnesty this year, then we have to elect a President who WILL enforce the law and secure the border. The worst part is the propaganda being used to manipulate people's opinion.

P.C. self-strangulation
Some people seem reluctant to even talk about illegal aliens. It seems the msm and pro-illegal groups have been pretty effective in framing the argument in such a way as to make Americans think if they stand up for their rights and their country's rights they are somehow bigots. That is hogwash. I don't care what country someone is from, they need to follow our existing path to citizenship. We need to insist on it or we will be overrun. Our republic can only function if everyone follows the rules, those that don't must be punished. If America annouces to the world "We can't stop you, so come on in", the deluge will be overwhelming. If 3,000 a day didn't get your attention, then wait until it's 10,000 a day. We cannot sustain this influx and survive as a nation. We must speak up and speak to each other about this and not let false claims of racism or bigotry be used to intimidate us into silent assent. America is not Congress' to give away. America belongs to we the people. Speak to your neighbors, speak to your coworkers, but please speak up to your Congressmen and Senators. It's O.K. for us to enforce our laws, no really, it is.
