Dear Editor:
The latest National Immigration Forum (NIF) press release states it is
essential to, "...give these hard working immigrants without papers a
path towards legal status and citizenship...". Pardon me, but ---
essential to whom? And at whose and what cost? Is "hard working" now
a legal defense or reason to nullify criminal behavior which also
precludes our rule of law? Have past amnesties or legalizations
diminished the flood of illegal entry and questionable "legal" entry?
Why is the more vigorous application of deportation of illegals "not
possible or desirable"? Why should citizenship be cheapened by granting
it to those who willingly and arrogantly defied our sovereignty and
entry laws? How is a critical cohesiveness of society achieved with
such counterfeit measures? How is essential respect generated between
new migrants and existing citizens with unearned, manipulated and/or
stolen legal status? Why are advocates of such divisive policies under
the guise of "human rights", diversity or multiculturalism not concerned
with the superior rights of our own citizens over xenomania in favor of
foreigners? Why are not those who pursue such dilution and/or deception
condemed as foolish at best and treasonous at worst? Why should
citizens not be concerned about ulterior motives of excessive immigrant
advocates including the direct threats by radical groups? Why do
apologists always refer to illegal aliens as undocumented? Should bank
robbing now be referred to as unauthorized withdrawals to allow for
dignity, or legalized to bring these hard workers out of the shadows?
Are such efforts wrapped in phony charitable motives merely to disguise
crass self interest including more tax revenue or bottom line profit?
Why is it assumed that illegals are all of upstanding character engaged
in positive endeavors when they have already demonstrated a criminal
mindset and many continue the behavior? What kind of society will be the
result of such "citizens"? With the recent outbreak of many strange,
foreign diseases, who can justify any immigration except the limited and
controlled variety? In view of past, excessive immigration and present
terrorist and health concerns, would not a 5 year "time out" period be
in order? Why do foreigners believe they can decide to come here
imposing their will upon US? How is security achieved when miles of our
borders can be violated at will? Why are we paying for secure borders
in Afghanistan and Israel and not here? Why does NIF claim we must
legalize criminals in order to secure our borders??? All Americans
deserve answers to these questions and many others, not press release
propaganda and pandering by politicians and special interests. On this
Memorial Day weekend, Americans need to ponder the legacy and nature of
the society we are creating for posterity and to consider if it equals
or is even worthy to be compared to that which previous generations
sacrificed mightily for US. One does not have to be a Bible believer to
appreciate the following wisdom: "He that worketh deceit shall not
dwell within my house..." (Psalms 101:7) and, "Verily, verily, I say
unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but
climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber." (John
10:1)
