May Day: Illegals Sympathizers at It Again John LeBoutillier Well, here we go again: huge, nationwide pro-illegal immigration, pro-amnesty demonstrations — with sympathetic so-called mainstream media (MSM) coverage for days on end. Sympathetic TV packages about the "cruel" suggestion that families be divided and some sent back to Mexico while the others are left here "alone." Confrontational interviews with conservatives who want to enforce the law. Panoramic aerial photographs of hundreds of thousands of marchers in D.C., L.A., Houston etc. All this - all of it - designed to force Washington D.C. to abandon any semblance of border security (not that Bush and the GOP leadership have done anything other than pay lip service to it) and instead buy into something called "comprehensive immigration reform." Simply translated, that means amnesty for all illegals here now — and amnesty for all future illegals who want to come here in the future. And, of course, the ultimate aim is to get these illegals onto the American voting rolls ASAP — so they can vote for the Democrats. Welcome to the good old USA, circa 2007! Story Continues Below
What a mess. And what an opportunity. An opportunity to get the majority of Americans who are aghast at the scenes of illegals climbing over border fences or crouching and squeezing through gaping holes in mesh fences along our Southern border together in one gigantic voting bloc. Because there are really two issues here: 1.) Border security — which about 85 percent believe in; and 2.) What to do with the 11-20 million illegal immigrants already here. We must solve 1 before we even address 2. And in 1 — border security — is the winner of the 2008 election. Because Americans across the political spectrum are shocked at the post-9/11 laxity of domestic border security under the Bush administration. The candidates who so far have addressed this — Rep. Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter — are heroes for bringing it up and incurring the wrath of the MSM. However, neither candidate has yet to even break into double digits in the polls. Tancredo does, however, get huge applause and does win some online straw polls because of his passionate stance on this issue. However, 2008 is still a long way off, and most voters are not really focused yet on the next election. Thus many surprises are sure to occur. May Day — the traditional communist "labor day" — also will see the re-surfacing of lefty heroes like Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez with all their anti-American bluster and bragging. It does get tiring, doesn't it? Communism has long since been thrown "into the dustbin of history" but a few dictators and their leftist sympathizers hang on, especially in American academia (protected by lifetime tenure) and in parts of the leftist American media and press. Some of Western Europe has been soft for decades, but they often pay for it at the ballot box, witness the rise Margaret Thatcher and Helmut Kohl. As Americans, we need to stick to our basic principles: a belief in the rule of law; the truth wins out in the long run; and honesty is the best policy. If we follow these, we will survive as the nation we have been. But if we resort to short-term "feel good" prescription such a lies, caving into pressure groups and trying to curry favor with the MSM, then we will see the diminution of this nation. We are too great a country to allow that. 2008 is the opportunity to re-assert our "Americanism." And to see May Day as just another day, not a day to celebrate an outmoded philosophy.
