I have to respond to this article (link above) by Tom DeWeese. I don't think he has his facts straight, except that I agree with most of what he says concerning the 10th amendment and state sovereignty. His idea that we are willingly giving-up our liberties for some protection, may be true for far left liberals, but the rest of us have a different take on that. Plus, he's uninformed as he refers to people concerned about stopping illegal immigration as "anti-immigration." That's the clue....
I don't know how Tom DeWeese believes that those against illegal immigration are willing to give-up some of their liberties in-order to stop the border invasion. Maybe those that believe what the federal government says and does is enough to allow our freedoms to erode....when in-fact, the border invasion is a military matter and should not be a civilian action requirement, but has to be, since the feds want it that way....
From my perspective, involved with this border issue since 2003 and following the abuse by government most everyday now, and their lack of concern for border security.....I am of the opinion (now) that there has never been any attempt to secure our borders for several reasons, which are coming to light now with the official announcement of a "New Global Regime" stated by Obama this weekend, which of course (in other words) is "The New World Order!"
For those that do not know what that entails....their minds will be limited to engaging in personal security from a "boogie man," than from the real threat facing our country within, which it is our job to stop our country from further erosion, by actively engaging in sensitive political confrontations, for some....watching the border, and others, educating an un-informed public about our constitution, while deciphering corporate mainstream propaganda....even while "Fusion Centers" try to stigmatize patriots as potential terrorists, which is pure "propaganda" tactics.
Tidbits of border enforcement came about as a result of (our) efforts to bring attention to this growing problem. The drugs continue to enter and thousands of illegal aliens and potential terrorists enter on a daily basis. More likely, gang thugs and other criminals, combined with families fleeing the failed state of Mexico, but they all continue to enter, with only a small percentage being caught each day. Like they say, for every one illegal alien caught, 3 to 4 get by.
The numbers that are caught, mostly are dispatched from calls being made from area residents/ranchers, drivers, businesses, along with numerous border watch groups. Don't believe me?? Sit down with a dispatcher in the U.S. Border Patrol Tucson Sector and look at their logs.
If everyone stopped calling Border Patrol for 24 hours, the unknown additional thousands (not apprehended) would be in our country, going to the job you just got fired from, to....awaiting gang group locations numbering in the thousands and under the watchful eye of terrorist sleeper cells, (and some by the FBI), while others deliver their Colombian cocaine and Mexican pot to their sellers, which then ends-up in your sleepy little town in mid-America for your high school students. Later, they want to take their first year college "Spring Break" in wonderful and war torn Mexico....and you let them !
You let them, because you believe what you hear and see on TV! They won't tell you how the Mexican Bureau of Tourism (sic) encourages our State Department to keep it watered down by only making Mexico's crime and drug war to appear isolated and not in tourist locations. A fat out lie!! Beheadings behind a hotel in Cancun doesn't apply?? Where do you think your teen age college kid roams at night, looking for a gram of cocaine? When he/she calls you and says they were robbed....it likely happened in the backstreets behind the hotel and not because they forgot to put their cash in the hotel safe, if they were lucky enough to keep their head !
If the feds did not want the drugs entering and killing our teens, (if for any reason) they would militarize the border. If they truly believed that Americans were shipping weapons south, they would militarize the border on both sides.....which of course, the ones buying limited amounts of weapons, are illegal aliens that enter, buy the weapons from their own (legal) Mexican contacts, and head back south. Drug mules do exactly that! They bring the drugs in and head right back for more.
That's all small time potatoes compared to rocket launchers, AK-47's, M-16's, and grenades (supposedly) heading south. Give me a break!! It's all a ruse to make mainstream America believe that THEY can stop the violence by grabbing everyone's weapons and continue throwing pot smokers in prison as a solution to Mexico's open export business, while Calderon blames Americans for his own failures.
Very absurd and naive, if not extremely dangerous for law abiding citizens, watching their country turn into a third world nation of thugs while politicians openly state that, "we recognize Mexico's sovereignty" therefore here's $1.4 billion dollars and we won't militarize the border.
Border Patrol are far and few between. It takes an active military presence on the border to knock those numbers down to less than 10% of those getting across. We secure everyone else's borders, but not our own....for reasons that many Americans refuse to acknowledge.
The government will and is using immigration, (including gun propaganda) combined with potential terrorism (inside the U.S.) as the "vehicle" for all the Patriot Act laws and future laws being decided in-order to "keep us safe." They will continue to lie to the population (through mainstream media), that they are doing this or that to "further secure our borders," which is nothing but a smokescreen to eventually bring-in martial law as a means to an end....of our constitutional republic, and for the purpose of forcing each state into federal compliance.
THEY want to pit illegal aliens against white America (in the streets May 5th) and show sympathy with radical Hispanic groups as being discriminated against by "hate crimes, while excluding the voice of legal immigrants of all color that oppose illegal immigration!
The race card is coming our way again, and Obama is the perfect poster child for their struggle to turn this country into a third world nation, while wiping-out the middle class by creating a very large democratic voting platform with promises of citizenship and welfare. Europe is already there. Plain and simple.....
We have a duty to perform, for our country, our families, and our neighbors. We have to do it until the day comes when the federal government, either by local law enforcement, and/or with National Guard/ United Nation troops, force us otherwise.....which THEY know would NOT stop Americans from reversing our political system of fascism.
The confusion by Washington of what the response by Americans would be, is exactly what keeps the 500 plus legislators in Washington scared. If we give-up any and all attempts to stop the foreign invasion from the south, we give-up our liberties anyway and we might as well line-up at the nearest FEMA Camp. We either volunteer to hand-over our rights and get on the bus, or we die right there. For some...(maybe the young), hand-over your rights, get on the bus in-order to live another day while organizing from within. Personal rights and freedoms are personal and when confronted with danger, a man decides what is best for him, his family, and his country.
Bottom line, politicians are deciding our fate, and half the country is still asleep. Tom DeWeese is on the right track, but he needs some tweaking.
