THINKING ABOUT THE MEXICAN INVASION A BIT MORE

May 11, 2006 1:39AM PDT

OK ... working off the premise that I never have an original thought ... let me share something that occurred to me last night whilst I was listening to a few minutes of the Michael Savage show. It is truly perplexing to try to figure out just why our government won't respond to the Mexican invasion. Eight out of ten Americans want the border closed ... yet the politicians who are supposed to be listening to us do absolutely nothing.

Twenty-five million illegals have crossed the border from Mexico into the United States since 1990, and the only actions our elected officials have taken is to legitimize about 13 million of these criminals through various amnesty programs. Nothing else.

Just yesterday the House Judiciary Committee, which is under the control of Republicans by the way, rejected an effort to end the a requirement for bilingual ballots in many states. You're supposed to be a citizen to vote, and if you aren't a natural born citizen you must pass an English proficiency test to become one. So, why the need for bilingual ballots? Could it possibly be because these politicians know, and quietly support the fact, that people who speak Spanish and who are not citizens regularly vote in this country?

Also just yesterday we learned of reports that the U.S. Border Patrol, under the control of the Executive Branch of government, is informing the Mexican government as to the location of the Minutemen boarder watch group. Although our government says that the report is "inaccurate," the locations of those Minutemen activities do show up on a Mexican website maintained by the Mexican government. Minutemen leaders have charged that Mexican troop transports cross our borders with Mexico regularly carrying loads of illegals. How can we be surprised by this considering the fact that Mexican president Vicente Fox refers to these illegals as "heroes." The Mexican Army helping illegals by carrying them across the border? Now you tell me that this isn't an invasion.

So ... why absolutely nothing from our government? Why, in the name of all common sense, haven't the borders been shut down? Could it possibly be that the Mexican invasion is actually welcomed by our politicians?

think about it why have it bylingual !

You suggest, "Vote Democrat."

You see, that's an impossibility in years to come, just as it's an impossibility to vote for the Republicans as they are now acting. WHEN we Americans are attacked by thousands of homicide bombers, and WHEN we Americans discover that most of them passed through the US-Mexican sieve, then we'll finally get serious about border security.

I only hope that the body count will be in the thousands rather than the millions - but I fear that it won't. Sad
