After carefully studying the Arizona immigration law, Senate Bill 1070, I have concluded that the bill is discriminatory, inequitable, unethical, and pregnant with racial profiling mandates. After an exhausting session of cogitating, examining, perusing, and pondering, this is the only conclusion available to this quasi-learned person.

The City of San Francisco is staging a boycott of the state of Arizona. What transgression might Arizona have committed to cause such a caustic and economically devastating amercement from San Francisco? They passed a state immigration law that mirrored a federal immigration law that has been on the books for over 50 years, and to the consternation of many, it is against the law to sneak across the border.

Mexico has an industry that has surpassed its oil export and tourism industry in revenues. This industry is netting Mexico in excess of 20 billion dollars per year. It has a growth rate of 10% a year. It has no stockholders. You can’t invest in it as there are no investors. It has no cost for health benefits, yet everyone has free health and maternity insurance. The cost of the health insurance is cast off to a foreign country’s taxpayers that sit in a state of hebetude. Mexico also has a trade deficit to this foreign country in excess of 45 billion dollars, as this country sits in a state of fiscal denial. The only limiting factor for the growth of this industry is the numerical limits of the citizenry of Mexico. Mexico has sent 10% of their population to this foreign country and is obviously limited as to how many Mexican citizens it can send out. This industry, as you may have deduced by now, is the illegal alien industry.

Elvira Arellano was deported last month after receiving sanctuary from a church in Chicago for the past year. Her crimes: illegally entering the U.S., getting caught and deported, entering illegally again, stealing the social security number and I.D. of an American citizen, getting a job at O’Hare International Airport working in a secure area and having an anchor baby. She was caught up in “Operation Chicagoland Skies”, a federal sting to root out terrorist. After being convicted of her federal crimes she skipped her deportation hearing and became a fugitive, thus holing up in the church for a year.

This was a tough week for national security and the rule of law but it was a great week for illegal immigration. It’s not rocket science to connect the dots or digest the preponderance of events this past week to see the alarming effects illegal aliens, activist courts, the Bush administration and Mexico’s apparent control over policy in this county is having. The depth of the breach of national security is endless with the combination.

The first two news articles below are the results of rulings by the 9th circuit court of appeals in San Francisco on Friday. The fact that these rulings came out of this court is somewhat comforting since this is the most fundamentally flawed court the U.S. has ever produced, and the most overturned and in all likelihood the rulings will be reversed on appeal. This court is on track to have created more laws than the legislative branch with their activists agenda. This is a court that needs to be pulled out by the roots, broken up, and reassembled into at least 3 courts. A few of their honorable stats:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – A Mexican woman whose fight against deportation from the United States became a cause celebre for pro-immigration activists was deported without her son, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said on Monday.Mexican citizen Elvira Arellano, 32, had claimed sanctuary in a Chicago church for a year with her 8-year-old U.S.-born son before being arrested and deported in Los Angeles on Sunday. According to ICE officials, after being arrested in downtown Los Angeles, Arellano, was taken to the border crossing at San Ysidro, Calif., where she was turned over to Mexican immigration officials.The agency said that Arellano’s son, who is a U.S. citizen, was left with her traveling companions, at her request.

Funny thing about this story is it does not mention that she has been deported before and illegally crossed back over the border or that she was convicted of Social Security fraud and skipped her deportation hearing for committing a crime, thus becoming a fugitive from the law. Also not mentioned by the main stream media is why she is claiming sanctuary in the U.S. without the fear of persecution if she returns to Mexico. That is usually how it works.

One of her implausible quotes:

“From the time I took sanctuary the possibility has existed that they arrest me in the place and time they want,” she said in Spanish. “I only have two choices. I either go to my country, Mexico, or stay and keep fighting. I decided to stay and fight.”

Now the operative phrase here is “my country, Mexico.” Also she is either making her statements in uncomprehendable English or speaking Spanish.

I am at a complete loss for what the meaning of this statement is from a protester at a rally for Elvira:

“Her voice will not be silenced,” said Lilia Paredes. “She will, from Mexico, from that border, give and continue to fight for the just cause of the Latinos.”

Does this mean she is going to petition the Mexican government for the just cause of Latinos? Does it mean she is going to continue her advocacy of breaking U.S. laws while in Mexico? I thought that was the Mexican government’s job. Is she going to hole up in the U.S. Embassy claiming sanctuary while in Mexico?

She has a full plate now that she is back where she belongs, in Mexico.Rev. Walter Coleman, pastor of Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago and unindicted for harboring a criminal and obstructing justice, where Arellano has been holed up had these statements:

Arellano is staying with a friend in Tijuana, Coleman said. He said she had brought to light her struggle, and for that, “she has won a victory.”

“She’ll be organizing on the Mexican side of the border while we’re organizing in the (United) States,” Coleman said Monday. “She’ll be talking to organizations throughout Mexico and congressmen in Mexico City.”

This is about as inane as what has been oozing out of Elvira’s mouth. Stating that she had “won a victory” is akin to the Japanese threatening to bring the U.S. to it’s knees the day after Little Boy and Fat Man kissed the ground in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And what are the congressmen in Mexico City going to do for her?

If Elvira had spent as much effort to learn English and taken the proper channels to gain legal entry into the U.S. as she put into sneaking around and breaking laws theses past 10 years, she could be cleaning planes with a legitimate Social Security number as we speak.

If Michael Chertoff vs. Elvira Arellano were a cage match in an octagon, Chertoff would be a crumpled heap on the floor. It has not been a close match. She has been kicking and taunting his politically correct butt for over a year.

Who is Elvira Arellano? She is a fugitive from the law living in the Aldaberto United Methodist Church in Chicago. She and her son have been holed up there for one year this month. She has taunted the authorities to try to arrest her:

“This is the house of God,” Arellano said Wednesday. “What man would enter the house of God to arrest me?”

Elvira is not your garden variety illegal alien. She has entered this country twice illegally. She was deported after she entered the first time. She entered again in 1997. She skipped her deportation hearing making her a felony fugitive from justice. She was arrested in 2002 working at O’Hare International Airport cleaning planes. She was working there with a false Social Security number. This is an illegal alien who crossed the U.S. Mexico border, obtained a false Social Security number and was able to work in a secure area of an international airport with unfettered access to planes. What a dream situation for an Al Qaeda operative.

Elvira has used every page in the illegal alien play book to stay here. She had an anchor baby. She used the sick baby ruse to gain sympathy from supporters. The child suffers from ADHD. What child doesn’t today. She has dragged her son into the church and this mess with her.

She plans to leave her sanctuary next month to participate in an illegal alien march in Washington D.C. She had this comment about leaving the church to go to the march:

“If [immigration authorities] want to arrest me over there, in front of Congress, in front of the White House or in front of the Senate, and deport me in front of all those people that make the changes in the law, it’s fine,” Arellano, 32, told the newspaper while inside the Aldaberto United Methodist Church on Division Street. “But I’m not going to stay quiet, nor wait for them to come to arrest me and deport me. I have to fight and this is part of the fight.”

I.C.E., under the control of Department of Homeland No-Security which is under the control of Chertoff, has the authority to arrest anyone in violation of immigration law anywhere and anytime in the U.S.

“Those who willfully violate U.S. immigration laws face the consequences of their actions,” states an I.C.E. spokesperson. “We carry out enforcement actions at politically correct appropriate times and places.”

Chertoff should take a page from the Elliot Ness play book and be the first one through the church’s door and personally arrest her, and pose for a photo op while walking out the doors with her in handcuffs. Since this church has declared itself a haunt for felons, I.C.E should be at the doors every Sunday morning making arrests. It would be like shooting fish in a barrel.

This church is not a House of God. I don’t know what heretical theology they espouse, but I would challenge anyone to produce a verse in the Bible where a church is encouraged to harbor fugitives and encourage breaking the law. They lost their “House of God” status when they decided to become a robbers roost for criminals. This church is aiding and abetting criminals and obstructing justice. This church should also have it’s tax-exempt status revoked and be taxed retroactively back to the day they started harboring felons. If you harbor criminals you are a criminal.

I don’t want my money going to a church that harbors criminals. How is my money going to all the churches? They don’t pay taxes. If they are not paying taxes, someone is paying their share of the taxes.

Elvira should be treated like an American citizen first, then treated like an illegal alien second. First she should be arrested and tried in a court of law the same as any U.S. citizen that used a fake social security number to get a job with security clearance at an airport. Then not show up for their court date and subsequently become a fugitive from the law. She should be tried for these crimes first and if convicted serve her prison sentence. She should then be treated like an illegal alien and deported.

The illegal alien advocates are relentlessly wringing their hands about the anchor babies of illegals. Her child should get the same treatment that any single mother that is a citizen of the U.S. that commits a felony gets. The mother goes to prison and the child goes to a family member, if they are a legal citizen, or to foster care. No more no less than a red blooded U.S. citizen would receive. This quagmire concerning anchor babies is the chief reason that Plyler v Doe should be revisited by the current constructionist court to correct the inane decision that an activist court burdened this country with concerning the 14th amendment.

I am adamantly opposed to anything that would infringe on a church losing its tax exempt status. I disagree that a church should lose it’s tax exempt status for endorsing certain politicians or politics. But this church is flagrantly breaking the law. If any church so much hints as to what political candidate they would endorse, they would have the ACLU crying to the IRS to yank their tax exempt status.

Where do you draw the line on sanctuary? Murderers, pedophiles, bank robbers and any one who is not in the mood to be arrested for their criminal activities can hole up in church for as long as they want.

If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.–Winston Churchill

The threats to our national security in the order of the threat level:

1. George Bush’s lack of immigration enforcement since 9-11. His immigration plan would be the equivalent of putting bars on all the windows in the front of your house, adding three additional deadbolts to the front door, installing a state of the art alarm, placing armed guards in the front of the house and at the same time you leave the back door wide open and place signs in the front yard saying” come around back the door is open.” We were attacked on our soil by people who should not have been here. The absolute first thing would have been to shut down the borders and run anyone coming into this country from a middle eastern background under the microscope and find any and everyone not supposed to be here i.e. the 600,000 criminal illegals from around the world with expired visas, crimes, etc. that are still unaccounted for. Engaging in a war with a country that posed no direct threat to this country without addressing our borders and illegal infiltration is nothing short of ignorant. If a group of caucasians bombed a holy site in an Arabic country you could expect nothing less than the tables being turned. And justifiably so. It is the only effective way to stop it in it’s tracks.
2. Michael Chertoff and the Office of Home Land Security. This weed is allegedly in charge of enforcing the laws that are on the books with regards to immigration and national security. Rather than focusing on building the border fence that has been mandated and funded, he has spent his time parading around the country as a politician and lobbyist trying to sell Bush’s snake oil immigration plan. His department is also responsible for the idiotic screening process at the airports. A 75 year old nun in a wheelchair is just as likely to be searched as a person who would fit the profile of someone who would be the most likely to commit an act of terrorism. You know who I am talking about. Keep in mind that not all Muslims are terrorist, but nearly all terrorist are Muslims. This should be tattooed on Chertoff’s forehead in an inverted fashion so he sees it every time he looks in the mirror. Michael Chertoff and the Homeland Security Agency would be better served consulting with odds makers in Vegas on who would be a more likely candidate as a terrorist, a nun or a person of Middle Eastern ancestry chanting Allah rather than bowing to political correctness for their inane procedures. In Vegas the house always comes out ahead.
3. Alberto Gonzales and the Justice Department who is in the pocket of the Mexican government when it comes to prosecuting Border Agents vis a vis illegal aliens and drug smugglers. And for allowing the Mexican government to be involved in any capacity in the cases and witnesses being investigated on the U.S. side of the border.
4. The Democrat controlled Congress has not passed any law or policy to weaken our national security-yet. They have tried but their efforts have so far been benign. They have been chipping away at the intelligence gathering procedures at Guantanamo Bay. The Democrats and their left wing loons are still wringing their hands over the tactics used to coerce intelligence from the prisoners there concerning national intelligence. If one of their children or spouses were captured and held hostage with threats of being beheaded and they had one hour alone with someone who knew the location of the hostage and they had anything at their disposal to get the information, what would they do? That should be the standard for extracting information.
5. Al Qaeda comes in at fifth because even though they would attack us on our soil again, they are not a direct threat unless they are here. The misguided policies that have been in place since 9-11 and the political correctness that is driving our national security policy is the only avenue they need to execute an attack. They are here and the only thing keeping more from coming into this country is Chertoff and his Home Land Security Department. The Bush administration can expand F.I.S.A. all you want and listen to whatever they want but until all threats are eradicated from our back yard and their entrance into the U.S. is cut off, you can expect nothing less than another attack here.

The only person who has spoken the truth about the gapping holes in our national security is Tom Tancredo and he has been assailed from the left and the right for his views. His views are factual and void of political correctness. Tancredo recently received harsh criticism for the following statement about bombing Mecca:

Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo’s campaign stood by his assertion that bombing holy Muslim sites would serve as a good “deterrent” to prevent Islamic fundamentalists from attacking the United States, his spokeswoman said Friday.

“If it is up to me, we are going to explain that an attack on this homeland of that nature would be followed by an attack on the holy sites in Mecca and Medina,” Tancredo said. “That is the only thing I can think of that might deter somebody from doing what they would otherwise do. If I am wrong, fine, tell me, and I would be happy to do something else. But you had better find a deterrent, or you will find an attack.”

Tom Casey, a deputy spokesman for the State Department, told CNN’s Elise Labott that the congressman’s comments were “reprehensible” and “absolutely crazy.” Tancredo was widely criticized in 2005 for making a similar suggestion.

Just the fact that the inept State Department made these comments gives credence to what Tancredo said. Tancredo made a statement to this effect. Tom Tancredo has identified the enemy while Bush has never identified the enemy. You have to identify your enemy to defeat it. You can’t win if you don’t know who you are fighting. Bush keeps harping about the war on terror. Terror is not an enemy. Terror and terrorism are tactics. Terrorism is the weapon of choice that our enemy chooses to fight with. Our enemy is Islam. Is it all of Islam? No. Bush continues to call it a small faction of Islam’s radical wing that is the root of the problem. Let’s look at the small radical wing by the numbers. There are approximately 1.5 million Muslims in the U.S. and 1.4 billion worldwide.
A poll conducted by Radwan Masmoudi, president of the Washington-based Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy, which promotes the compatibility of Islam with democracy, 13% of all Muslims in the U. S. said that bombing of Civilians is justifiable in defense of Islam. Since there are 1.5 million Muslims in the U. S. that translates into 195,000 Muslims in the U.S. that agree with the bombing of civilians. In Europe the number is 25%. There are 1.4 billion Muslims in the world and that translates into 350 million who agree that bombing of civilians in defense of Islam is justifiable. Do those numbers equate a radical fringe? That is 50 million more Muslims who agree with the bombing of civilians than live in the U.S. Since we have been emasculated by political correctness, we are unable to identify our enemy and take the appropriate actions to defend our national security against it.

Tancredo also received criticism and death threats that caused him to cancel a speech in Miami for this comment:

“Look at what has happened to Miami. It has become a Third World country. You just pick it up and take it and move it someplace. You would never know you’re in the United States of America. You would certainly say you’re in a Third World country,” Tancredo said.

Governor Bush, who replicates his brother’s ignorance on immigration and political correctness, had this to say in response in to Tancredo:

Tancredo’s comments were “disappointing” and “naive.”

“Miami is a wonderful city filled with diversity and heritage that we choose to celebrate, not insult.”

Tancredo responded with this:

“I certainly understand and appreciate your need and desire to create the illusion of Miami as a multi ethnic ‘All American’ city” “I can also appreciate that Miami’s schools graduate many outstanding students and that the cultural and ethnic diversity of the city offers many advantages to its residents.

“However, it is neither naive nor insulting to call attention to a real problem that cannot be easily dismissed through politically correct happy talk.”

Consider the immigration policy we have with the Cubans. It reads like a board game by Milton Bradley. Cubans who do not reach the shore (i.e. dry land), are interdicted and returned to Cuba. Cubans who successfully reach the shore are inspected for entry by DHS and generally permitted to stay and adjust under the Cuban Adjustment Act the following year. To show the idiocy of these policies, there was a case where a group of Cubans landed on a pier and were being returned to Cuba but filed a lawsuit. There was the splitting of hairs of whether a pier was considered dry land or not.

There are second generation people living in Miami who don’t speak English. They don’t have to. You can live in Miami, work in Miami, shop in Miami and live a complete life in Miami and never utter a word of English. Here is a result of that:

A South Florida man who is being evicted from his place of business because he speaks no Spanish – just English – says he will move out, as he’s suddenly become the focus of national debates over illegal immigration and property rights.

“I guess I don’t serve the ‘Spanish need,’ whatever that means,” McKenna told the Stuart News in a story published Sunday. Since then, the saga has been prominently featured on websites including WND and the Drudge Report, and now McKenna is making the rounds on the television-news circuit, both on Florida stations as well as national shows such as CNN’s “Glenn Beck.”

Islam, terrorism and immigration are not mutually exclusive and here is the documented tie in that Tancredo warns about:

Rep. Ed Royce, ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs terrorism and nonproliferation subcommittee, said the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) document – first reported yesterday by The Washington Times – highlights how vulnerable the nation is when fighting the war on terrorism.

“I’ll be asking the terrorism subcommittee to hold a hearing on the DEA report’s disturbing findings,” said Mr. Royce of California. “A flood of name changes from Arabic to Hispanic and the reported linking of drug cartels on the Texas border with Middle East terrorism need to be thoroughly investigated.”

Likewise, Rep. John Culberson, Texas Republican, said the DEA document revealed startling evidence that Islamic radicals are camouflaging themselves as Hispanics while conducting business with violent drug-trafficking organizations.

I have been ringing the bell about this serious threat of Islamic individuals changing their surnames to Hispanic surnames for three to four years,” Mr. Culberson said. “Unfortunately, Homeland Security’s highest priority is to hide the truth from Congress and the public. I just hope we’re not closing the barn door after terrorists have already made their way in.”

The 2005 DEA report outlines several incidents in which multiple Middle Eastern drug-trafficking and terrorist cells in the U.S. are funding terrorism networks overseas with the aid of Mexican cartels. These sleeper cells use established Mexican cartels with highly sophisticated trafficking routes to move narcotics – and other contraband – in and out of the United States, the report said.

Of the estimated 500,00 illegal aliens who cross our border each year how many of them would it take to bring in a WMD and destroy a city? Just a couple of them or .00001% of them. What would Vegas think about those odds?

There are three ways to conquer a country. Two are tried and true with history on their side. One is evolving into what could be the most effective and permanent method.

Number one: Use military might. Think of Alexander the Great and the Greek Empire, The Roman Empire or Napoleon and the French. Very effective initially but very weak track record for permanence.

Number two: Coups. Think Castro in Cuba or Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Just as effective as number one but with varying degrees of long term success.

Number three: Legally flood your country with millions upon millions of immigrants who will beget your ideology. No military, no weapons, no violence–it’s that simple. It’s not as expeditious as the first two, but let the multitudes breed a couple of generations of socialist and by the time they reach voting age it will be enduring. Once this nefarious scheme is legalized then activated then there will be nothing tangible left to fight. A conquering without a shot fired from either side.

Carl Marx wrote the instruction manual for socialism. George Bush seems determined to be the one to consummate it.
