Say NO to Immigration 'Reform' Diane Alden The recent May Day demonstrations by migrants and illegal aliens exhibit the link between the corporate and collective I discussed in my last column. This particular identity group, demonstrators, were aided and abetted by corporate America, by church groups who have little responsibility for the support or upkeep of migrants, by collective identity outfits like La Raza, MALDEF, LuLac or the leftist anti-war group ANSWER and the mainstream media. The May Day event clarified for all but the totally brain dead the failure of the Bush White House, ineffective action by the last five administrations, plus 20 years worth of congressional dereliction handling illegal migration, and associated problems with refugees and legal immigration as well. Much thanks to immigration realist and instructor of English as a Second Language, Joe Guzzardi, for facts on this issue: "Since Bush took office, about 5 million illegal immigrants have come into the U.S. "The result: Illegal immigrants, emboldened by the total lack of resistance to their arrival and encouraged by Bush's misleading comments that migrants come only to do jobs Americans won't, are marching, demanding and fully expecting to win amnesty. "Yet history tells us that amnesty will only lead to more illegal immigration." Guzzardi then provides the astonishing numbers: "In 1986 about 3 million illegal aliens resided in the United States; today's total, according to Wall Street investment bank Bear Stearns, is about 20 million.

"Assuming that immediately after the 1986 amnesty the illegal alien count was effectively zero, then 20 million have arrived during the subsequent two decades." Unlike other eras, wherein all immigrants to the United States did not come primarily from one region or country or ethnic identity group, our era is different. In the past, immigrants had to assimilate in order to get along and to become Americans who spoke the native tongue – English. We can't have large concentrations of one group, wave after wave, failing to assimilate or not speaking the common language. If those migrants and immigrants concentrate in single areas they find it is not necessary to assimilate. Thus, we are being Balkanized and the Bush White House allowed that happenstance to take place in hyper-drive since it came to power. This might suit corporate America or the collectivist left more than it benefits America or representative democracy. Add the secular religion of communitarianism reflected by the Bush and Clinton factions, plus the ineffectual House of Representatives, complicit leftist federal courts, the corrupt U.S. Senate and we are sunk!
Any immigration "reform" the U.S. Senate or the corporate-collectivist coalition of interests inflicts on the U.S. and its citizens, will amount to another amnesty and be just as big a failure as the last one. There is still no will to enforce the border, who comes and who goes. There is no money allocated to accomplish meaningful reform and the authorities do not have the tools or responsibility to prevent the same situation from happening from now till Mexico, Central America or any Third World country is emptied and they are here. In the long term, they will get their long desired open borders; polyglot stateless geographical blobs of competing interests and displaced people who once were called Americans. May Day Wedding of the Corporate-Collective May Day demonstrations indicate the powerful coalition of the corporate-collective interests supporting a power play by those who seem to have no respect for the laws or system characteristic of the United States. In cahoots are the lucrative immigration business, lawyers and activists who make big bucks, plus democratic politicians that benefit when wave after wave of a people tsunami from poor Third World countries inundate the U.S. A few religious personages and groups add confusion and contradiction more than light and right guidance. The leftover liberation theology groupies among particular U.S. Catholic bishops of the American Catholic Church – are no help. Funny how quickly they support demonstrations for primarily leftist causes and their own flawed version of "social justice." Nevertheless, they don't break a sweat for pro-life, pro-traditional family, or spiritual, liturgical or moral teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. They appear clueless about the catechism they are supposed to know and teach. The American Catholic Church, and the American bishops, who accept the social gospel only, manage to ignore Catholic teaching on immigration: Migration of the Third World to the West and America. The Roman Catholic teaching on immigration places a hefty share of the burden on immigrants or migrants themselves. According to that completely ignored doctrine, migrants or immigrants are required to obey the laws on immigration as well as all other common laws, respect the language, culture, history, tradition and national identity of the country: In other words – assimilate. It is beyond hypocritical for immigrants or migrants to flee corrupt, disastrous nations like Mexico and refuse to assimilate or make an attempt to speak English. Meanwhile waving in-your-face signs, slogans and the flags of Mexico, Ireland, or wherever is a slap in the face to America and Americans who have taken them in. Considering many of immigrants and migrants retain dual citizenship even after they are naturalized, it is common sense to ask where their loyalties lie. That is the case whether they are from Iran, Iraq, Mexico or Timbuktu for that matter. Mainstream Media and May Day What May Day did for America was to shine a light of truth on the complicit mainstream media, including Fox News, on this effort to obtain special privileges from cringing politicians for people who are breaking the law. With the exception of CNN's Lou Dobbs, the corporate-collective mainstream media simply acted as shills for the corporate-collective agenda. Michelle Malkin reflects my analysis and angst in her most recent column. There are none so blind as those who will not see. While the mainstream media heaped praise on the "peaceful" May Day protesters and newspapers plastered sympathetic photos of the pro-illegal alien "sea of humanity" all over their front pages, freelance photographers, bloggers and radio interviewers captured a sea of open-borders militancy nationwide.
Uninformed political observers delude themselves into thinking that these sentiments are relegated to the fringe. But the core concepts of reconquista (the "re-conquest" of the Southwest by Mexico) have spread wide and deep — from San Francisco to Los Angeles to Milwaukee to Arkansas and beyond. In Denver, a large banner read: "America Is a Continent Not a Country." In Albuquerque, Latino activists held up a provocative sign asking aloud: "Manifest Destiny?" There are loads of examples of really obsequious media coverage of the May Day demonstration. For some reason Court TV's Nancy Grace's silliness comes to mind. In her smarmy way Grace blathered on about the "give me your poor" phrase on the Statue of Liberty. As usual, she and her media colleagues, failed to mention that when the Statue of Liberty was given to us by France, circa 1880s, America had less than 100 million people: Probably more like 50 million to 75 million in all. At that time, there were railroads to be built and cities to be constructed. Logging, mining, and farming required strong backs but not so much education or training. In that era, there was more space, and little congestion, lack of water resources, pollution, uninhabitable cities, crime, immorality and political and economic corruption. Plus, the vast numbers of rules, regulations and taxes also did not exist. This gave a broader field of opportunity to the ordinary person rather than to only the more well connected or highly educated. Those conditions of opportunity are not so abundant in our own era. Now we are 300 million and climbing: And we also have a welfare state. Additionally, the court system ruled illegal non-citizens are entitled to many benefits once meant for citizens including medical treatment and education. What that means is the U.S. taxpayer and citizens are paying for a continued subsidy to the corporate and collective. It means over 150 U.S. hospitals have closed but particularly in border states. (You can Google and get the list Ms. Nancy Grace since you didn't seem to believe Lou Dobbs.} Schools are over crowded in many areas, including my state of Georgia. Georgia spent approximately $270 million educating the children of illegals who work in meatpacking, the carpet industry and construction. To corporate interests in Georgia, agribusiness, meatpacking or carpet mills, leftist educrats and immigration lawyers, I hope the new immigration law that Georgia recently passed, kicks a little corporate-collective behind. As a bonus we now see diseases that once were eradicated in the United States: TB, leprosy, measles, parasitical disease, types of Ebola. A complete list may be obtained from the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta FYI: Wolf, Nancy, Brit, Bill, Anderson, Larry Sabato, et al. As usual, the mainstream media from Fox News to CNN, as well as the usual suspects, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, did their corporate-collective shtick in support of law breaking and deconstructing the United States supporting May Day demonstrations. They seem to be unconcerned as millions of migrants, poor and uneducated, are creating a new underclass. An underclass that is receiving in benefits more than it is replacing in taxes: An underclass that sends over $10 billion per year back to that corrupt nation south of our border. Aside from Lou Dobbs, who is pro-legal immigration and a lifelong Republican and capitalist, fair and balanced was no where to be seen. The fact that so many in the May Day demonstrations waved the flags of the corrupt nations they escaped, is reflective of an attitude that is revealed in other things. The inability or refusal to learn English, recognize and respect laws and sensibilities of the nation that took them in, gave them jobs, benefits and recognizes common humanity, is subjected to the ingratitude of people who did not follow the rules and still feel a sense of entitlement. As the constitution and politicians of Mexico in particular indicate, what is theirs is theirs, and what is ours is theirs as well. Don't pundits and commentators at the networks catch any of this? I suspect not. Attitude – Audacity - Chutzpah or Disrespect? It suits the corporate-collective that people remain unassimilated, easily manipulated, poorly paid, thrown on the charity of the states and taxpayers, and remain a separate identity group which does not bode well for becoming – American. Frankly, the migrants trying to get to the United States this very day or those marching on May Day are not as much to blame for this impasse as the corporate-collective. The latter still refusing to take responsibility and stem the human tide where and when it should – at our borders, ports and institutional immigration framework. You may say the demonstrations witness to free speech. In this case it wasn't "free" speech unless you would consider law breakers and illegal inhabitants of the nation-state of America as having rights which no other system or society would offer: That is if that nation or society had an SENSE! Many want it all including citizenship by fiat. In fact the May Day demonstrations reflect yet another entrenched leftist idea, supported by the corporate, some religionists and identity group activists who don't have to pay the bill for the invasion when it comes due. Once more the mindset prevalent in leftist ideals holds the day: That mindset is that the ends justify the means. How long we can remain a free people with representative government chosen by citizenry, rather than a geographical area run by an oligarchy of interests, is anyone's guess. Giving us an unending choice between dumb and dumber, evil or stupid, tyranny or despotism, remain to be seen. It all depends on you. Contact your corrupt senator who is no better than the other parties' corrupt senator and repeat daily if necessary: No Kennedy-McCain amnesty; no dithering by Bill Frist; no ding-bat Harry Reid amendments or machinations turning a "reform" into a free pass. Say no to Arlen Specter, Sam Brownback, Lindsey Graham, Henry Waxman, Hillary Clinton or any odiousness immigration amnesty they come up with. Remind your congressmen that he needs you more than you need him. Flood the White House with emails, phone calls, faxes, letters, ads in as many outlets as possible - no putrefied immigration "reform." Take yourself to a Bush photo op in Iowa or Arkansas, Ft. Campbell or Ft. Hood: Respectfully suggest that he head for the nearest anti-brainwashing outfit in D.C. to be deprogrammed from the corporate-collective Borg that has him in its clutches. Maybe we can get him on the cable channel with the intervention program and deprogram him: No amnesty George! I would add – think third party in 2006 and 2008. Let's roll over them for a change! Next: William Kristol, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, the Neocons, Corporate-Collective Empire and YOU.
