Soccer Mom: Unplugged

Some of the President's ideas on the border issue were:

1.  Put up fences and barriers, stand up technological impediments to border crossing and send in the National Guard

2.  Stop catch and release by expanding detention centers so that no one is left loose on American soil awaiting a court date for deportation

3.  Increased funding for local law enforcement who participate in targeted border missions

4.  Guest worker program to allow workers in and keep track of them - criminal background checks and biometric ID cards

5.  Financial penalty for illegals already in country and the opportunity to get in line for citizenship - stiff penalities for employers who hire illegals

Okay here's the question I have.  How do you compel the 12 to 20 million illegals already here to come forward?   They're already here and reaping the benefits of the US economy without getting caught.  Why would they come forward and volunteer to pay a fine and start paying taxes?  Sure, many would because they want citizenship but what about the others?  You've got to turn off the tax-payer funded tap by requiring paperwork for school enrollment and for eligibility for ANY kind of government benefit.  There has to be a tangible and painful consequence for not coming "out of the shadows".  Incentives to stay illegal must go in order to push people toward legitimacy.  

There need to be harsh disincentives for hiding out in America - not as a punishment - but as a driving force toward assimilation.

Michelle Malkin has great photos posted from yesterday's marches and virtually every one makes clear who the real supporters of amnesty are.  After perusing the pictures for a few minutes, it becomes vividly clear that Mexicans want their land back. A compelling counter argument to this deranged thinking does exist.  Here are some of my thoughts:

(1)  They already have Mexico and they still can't get that country right.

(2)  If they want to roll the clock back and demand their land then I say we offer it only in the condition in which it was taken initially.  We return it completely undeveloped, without modern technology, without any government or economic progress.  What do you bet that deal isn't satisfactory?  They don't want their land.  They want OUR economy.  What they want is freedom, social mobility and money - but those didn't come with the land when we got it.  Those are U.S. added amenities. 

Frankly, I think this whole issue is getting out of hand.  I can see room here for compromise.  Why don't we give them San Francisco?  San Fran is systematically cutting ties with the rest of America anyway.  They've booted the military and the Catholics.  They're probably very open to the idea.

Anyway, hop on over to www.michellemalkin.com and check out all of the protestors in their anti-American and pro-socialist glory.  It's actually quite entertaining.

In keeping with the May Day movement,  it seems fitting to point out exactly who some of the mobilizing forces have been behind the amnesty at any cost movement.

One of the main groups backing the movement is A.N.S.W.E.R..  This is a group that was founded on September 14th, 2001 in direct reaction to the September 11th attacks.  A group whose creation and name (Act now to stop war & end racism) preemptively struck at any American response to terrorism before a response had even been formulated or announced.  Consider that for a minute.

On the 14th, we didn't even know if the number of dead was 4,000 or 14,000.  The buildings were still burning and giving off enough heat and smoke for the environment around the financial district to be noxious.  New Yorkers and New Jerseyans were wandering the streets posting pictures of loved ones they hadn't yet found.  And yet, this group of people jumped the gun and immediately responded to the heartwrenching wailing and weeping of the numberless who waited in anxious and pained desperation for any news of loved ones, by demanding that we were ultimately responsible for this attack because our "international racism".  Remind me if I get this wrong, but when some outspoken religious leaders said the same thing they were publicly excoriated and ostracized from any reasonable discourse about courses of action against the perpetrators.

So here we have, ANSWER, whose answer was to blame America. 

It's not surprising to find that the leading supporters of this group are communist and socialist affiliates who have worked to fight against democracy in other countries.  Nor is it surprising that they are supporting amnesty.  This is a group that takes any position that is unhealthy for democracy because ultimately, the goal in their minds, is a to create a communal style world where people are either left to flounder in the insecurity of chaos or governed by a small body of extremely powerful paternalistic Marxists. 

It is also not surprising that among its supporters is found the name of one Kent State University professor.  This group is American liberalism at its most natural extreme: Marxist nihilism.
