Immigration or Invasion?

With note, I read the various articles about those who are entering our country illegally. The articles are both pro and con, as I try to be fair minded in my pursuit of truth. But for the life of me, I am unable to see where the rule of law has become unimportant.

I cannot see with clarity the reason that our national policy of "look the other way" has continued for so very long when there are solutions that could be implemented which would not only be fair to those who come here to work, but harsh on criminals intent upon breaking the law, violating the trust of others and who seek only to do harm.

Governor Jan Brewer and all those in the border states who are struggling with the aftermath of this revolting 'look the other way' policy on the invaders who are illegally entering our nation has penned a cogent, precise and accurate letter portraying the issues. It was a follow-up to her meeting with Obama.

For him, it was a 'shut her up' meeting. Since there has been sufficient time passed for him to have issued an executive order to provide U.S. Troops to man the border but has FAILED to do ANYTHING, it is obvious that he wanted to simply bring her into his office and enjoy positive press for seeming to be actively engaged in a problem.

Obama isn't engaged. His motor isn't even turned on. He isn't listening, because it is politically inconvenient to his agenda. Talk about your inconvenient truth!

I have friends and family in NM, AZ and CA. They tell me that local attitudes range from accepting what they are powerless to change, to outright anger that the Federal tax dollars for border security are spent on a 'wave at them as they come on in' approach. When our agents dare do something such as actually engaging the invaders with gunfire, they are met with open hostility in our government and treated worse than common criminals for daring to stem the tide of the invasion.

Obama will never do anything to curb the flood because it is to his advantage and the advantage of his administration's agenda for the change he promised to bring America. He desires chaos so that no one will pay attention to 'the man behind the curtain' in his petty kingdom of Oz. When the people clamor for assistance, they will be rebuffed because he knows full well that the illegal invaders will vote Democrat and thus bolster his party since they are indeed the party of 'share the wealth'.

What no one is really talking about, other than Governor Brewer, is the true elephant in the room. The drain on our economy and the porosity of our borders tells the world that the rule of law in our nation is more about money and power and less and less about right and wrong.

It's well past time to use the trite and inaccurate phrase 'illegal immigration' and time to start being tellers of the truth. Though these people may indeed by disenfranchised, downtrodden and pitiful, let's call them what they really are --- they are INVADERS. They are LAWBREAKERS by deliberate and repeated choice.

There is not one single fiber of my being that believes I can waltz across any other nation's border without paperwork and be treated as a guest entitled to special privilege. They would provide NO support or assistance to me. I would be treated as a criminal.

Come to think of it, I can think of a few places in this nation where I would be treated the same way. I can promise you that if I went to DC and tried to run through the security at the White House, I would be shot down like a dog. Even if I was telling them that I was only there seeking a better life, I would be arrested at the very least. Should I put up any protest, I would be made to 'disappear'. I would not be considered an 'illegal immigrant' due some sort of respect, assistance and freebies passed out on someone else's dime, but an invader. I would be treated as an invader.

But upon consideration, perhaps that is exactly what we should do… en masse create an illegal immigration movement to take over property on the White House lawn... and then demand to be accommodated. Erect tents, dispense trash, light fires, sell drugs and do it all
while claiming that our rights have been violated and that we deserve to be treated better. Shout that "we deserve to be let into the Nation's home because it's far nicer than what we have waiting for us wherever we have come from... it's our RIGHT".

Isn't it?

I've always wanted to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom. I have a right to it since it is certain to be a nicer room than I have at home. I'm sure the view is better. They also have room service in the White House.

I promise to steal towels, light a fire on the carpet, carve my name on the furniture and possibly assault a butler all while I demand that you pay for my medical bills, feed me, buy me clothes and take care of my every whim on someone else's dime. I demand that you redistribute the wealth... to me.

We need to demand a stop to allowing our president and his cabinet to keep making up these romantic illusions regarding our border policy and insist that they take action NOW to secure our nations' interests. Violation of the law is still a violation.

Our national leaders are sworn to protect us against all invaders, foreign or domestic. Isn't it time they were forcibly reminded of that oath and actually held accountable for refusing to protect our nation?
