The Democrat Party is angling to destroy the economic and societal balance of the United States by creating a permanent lower class that it can exploit for votes … and the Republicans are helping them.
Now, before you go off castigating me for going off into tin-foil hat territory, I am not saying that this is their stated goal. I do not believe that the Democrats think they are creating a permanent lower, slave class. But, they are looking to create a permanent class of voters who will keep them in power because those voters would ostensibly be forever dependent upon Democrats’ control of government handouts. And that, when all is said and done, is just the same as intending to keep lower class, uneducated (currently) illegal aliens in thrall and enslaved to Democrat Party operatives and in a permanent status as lower class citizens unable to rise from their downtrodden position on the lowest rungs of the ladder of success.
An unregulated flow of immigrants across our southern border has opened the door to the least educated members of the nations south to come here and exploit the opportunities open to them in the USA. They come here to better their lives, and who could blame them? The hellholes they are coming from would cause any sane man to risk all to leave there and come to the USA. Americans who get upset over this law breaking, wondering what kind of scum-bag would purposefully break the law like that, are righteously angry, but that anger is based on a serious misunderstanding of the world these people are leaving.
We in the US are raised to respect the law… or at least realize we must live by it. And, despite our constant griping about how “unfair” our laws are, they are still orderly and well patrolled by authorities as well fair enough not to cause a total breakdown of society.
On the other hand, the “law” where these immigrants come from is neither fair nor orderly. It is even a bit absurd to call the conditions under which the lower classes south of us live as any kind of “law” at all. Consequently, these people grow up having no respect for the rule of law because their “rule of law” has no respect built in for the common man. So, to come here by breaking a law is a meaningless distinction to them all the way around. Where they come from laws aren’t made to benefit them so why have respect for law anywhere else if that is all you know?
So, it is ridiculous to blame the immigrant. On the other hand, it is perfectly reasonable to blame the US government for allowing them to break our laws. It is as much the fault of the Federal government that these uneducated illegal aliens come here as it is the governments of the nations back home that cause them to need to leave them in the first place.
And now, here they are with no way to rise into the middle classes, as past immigrant classes have been able to do. They will be stuck forever in the lower class making them an easy target for exploitation and the perfect voting base for a Party that relies on the under educated and overly needy to stay in power.
In any case, the Democrats are extremely close to their goal if the demographics reported by the census bureau are any indication. As the New York Times reports, “More than 20 percent of children in the United States either are foreign-born or have a parent who was born abroad. Nearly half the children under age 5 are Hispanic, black or Asian.”
The so-called minorities are becoming majorities. As the Times reports, in several states the minorities already are majorities. “Hawaii (75 percent), New Mexico (57 percent), California (57 percent) and Texas (52 percent).”
This does not portend well for our republic. Not because minorities are some how inherently evil but because they do not grow up with the same respect for law that our native born, middle class population is raised with. They are brought up to expect handouts from government and are encouraged to that understanding by a cloying Democrat Party. This different view of what the people should expect from our government will cause it to be destroyed with the very ballot box initiatives that have, until now, made our nation great. Those raised on the notion that government’s role is parental in nature will continue to vote in the types of candidates who will give them exactly what they want. And, as such voters come to majority status, this cannot be avoided.
A famous saying, variously attributed to people as far-flung as Ben Franklin to Sir Alexander Tytler, explains well the destructive concept at work here. As the saying goes, “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, followed always by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.â€
Regardless of who said it, the axiom seems to be proving out a perfect harbinger of our doom.
Now, here is where the Republicans are helping the Democrats in their exercise of societal demolition.
Bush is so eager to have a feather, ANY feather, to put in his cap before he leaves office with his approval ratings at such a low ebb that his administration is mistakenly seeking to gut even the poor “safeguards” currently sought in immigration proposals. Laws to target businesses that hire illegal aliens are quietly being dropped by the Administration as a sop to Democrats to get a guest worker bill through Congress.
As the Washington Times reports, “The Bush administration, trying to win an immigration agreement with Democrats, is backing away from safeguards designed to target businesses that hire illegal aliens and to prevent a repeat of the rampant fraud that resulted from the 1986 amnesty.”
Also, current Federal law prevents the Social Security Administration and the IRS from sharing info and this allows illegals to more easily evade authorities as well as gives businesses that hire illegals more avenues to hide their activities. Homeland Security head Chertoff has been trying to get the Administration to break down this barrier to little effect. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Emilio Gonzalez, who is equally being ignored by the White House, has echoed this call.
But, according to Senator John Cornyn (R, Texas), the White House and GOP Congressional teams in negotiations with the Democrats on these issues do not seem to be taking this sensible advice. Such changes are not being considered.
Says Cornyn, “I don’t think the director’s concerns have been communicated to the people that are at the table — Secretary Chertoff, Secretary Gutierrez and we could use their help.”
In fact, not only are they not listening, they are purposefully working against such safeguards even going to the extent of trying to push through an agreement when Cornyn had stepped out of the room.
As the Washington Times reports:
“When Cornyn stepped out of the meeting, the above three tried to get everyone to sign off on Title II without any of these provisions,” the aide said.
Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, one of the lead Republican negotiators, objected on Mr. Cornyn’s behalf, leaving the issue still undecided.
Republicans say the administration is caving because it doesn’t want to lose Mr. Kennedy’s support for a deal.
The thing that immigrant advocates what the most is an automatic family exemption for any illegal that gets amnesty. Meaning that any illegal immigrant that is lucky enough to get amnesty and residence through whatever means would immediately be allowed to bring his whole family here.
And all the while the administration is backing off other aspects of the immigration bills such as the ever-shrinking fence and border security measures.
What we will end up with is a wide open border with no controls on immigration at all followed by even more invaders who are nothing but unskilled, uneducated drags on our system. Then, once here, an amnesty will give them access to our already strained social services that will end up in utter ruins.
Build the fence and stop all crossings first. Then worry about those already here. Any measure taken before the border is sealed is a complete waste of time.
Even without the fence, however, fostering a climate of intolerance for law breaking illegals will slow the flow of these people as is evidenced by a recent story in the L.A. Times where one person interviewed maintained that many would be immigrants were afraid to even try to come here due to the recent upswing in deportations.
“A lot of people are just staying home because they are afraid of being caught,” said Bezard, research director at Aite Group, a Boston-based financial services consulting business. “The political climate has a lot to do with it.”
So, imagine what we could do with even a lightly effective fence and a determination to keep people out?
But, there’s the rub. They don’t want to stop any from coming here. They want that border open and unguarded and that flow to ramp up to a torrent. And their only consideration is enlarging their voter base. The most cynical reason I can think of.
Unfortunately, this greed for more voters will lay our nation in ruins. We used to be able to count on the GOP to oppose this sort of idiocy. No more.
Count on this issue disappointing enough Conservatives that their turnout in 2008 is anemic enough to allow whatever Democrat candidate captures their Party’s nomination to waltz into the presidency without breaking a sweat.

Let us send a message to all the republicans that vote for this bill.
if you support this amnesty bill, we, the american people will vote you out of office!!!
All these pinheads in washington would sell this country out.

The original message below posts a great deal about the situation in California. But no real solutions. Just someone looking for another handout-> they want something, but are unwilling or unable to offer a solution. Or maybe the solution is already there, and they just don’t want to see it. Because it might mean they might have to sacrifice something…
Let’s be brutally honest about this. Americans set up these programs. It was the voting Americans who elected the officials that promised to only reach into the wallet of the rich or future generations (via a Federal Deficit) to establish these handout programs. Politicians created and expanded each of these programs to garner one thing – a vote for them. (A vote doesn’t cost anything, right? WRONG. Just look at what it is costing us!) And as the programs expanded, the slippery slope has turned them into “entitlements” owed to anyone breathing American air, whether they could vote or not.
From Wikipedia,
**Entitlement is a guarantee of access to benefits because of rights, or by agreement through law. It can also refer, in a more casual sense to someone’s belief that they are deserving of some particular reward or benefit. It is often used as a negative term in popular parlance (i.e. a ‘sense of entitlement’). The legal term, however, carries no value judgment, it simply denotes a right granted. It was issued in 1965 by Presidents Johnson’s administration.
In 2007, approximately 2/3 of the United States Federal budget consisted of entitlement payments, meaning that Congress never voted on 2/3 of money it spent.**
So here we are. We created a society in which excessive handouts are the norm and we didn’t expect anyone to want to come here to get them? The fact that nothing has to be done to receive these handouts – not pay taxes, not earn even a dime, not even be legally registered to be in the country – is part of what makes them so attractive and, most importantly, unappreciated. Because they’re FREE!
Making it harder to breath American air is not the answer. History has shown repeatedly that immigration limits (or amnesty), higher walls, deeper moats and shooting border crossers haven’t and won’t work. Illegal immigration is only a symptom of the problem. Let’s remove the incentive. Let’s get rid of the handouts and make it expected that everyone must contribute to the government funding pool according to how they are able – independent of whether or not they are here legally. The measure of ‘how they are able’ can best be determined by how much they actually spend because each person answers the question “Can I afford this?” whenever they spend. (This also discourages crime in that criminals are no longer spending tax-free money or, put another way, they’d have to steal 30% more to purchase the same things they purchase today. That’s at least a 30% higher chance that they’ll get caught if they try to maintain their ‘standard of living’.) Thus, the “illegal immigrants receiving free-be’s” problem is best solved with a Federal Sales Tax (the “Fair Tax”) which would replace the current income tax.
The biggest hurdles to Fair Tax passage are the politicians who are afraid that Americans will put the government ‘on a diet’ once they discover how much of their money is required to fund the entitlement programs, and the uneducated voters who believe that too many people who currently live below the poverty level would suffer because they’d have the extra burden of paying taxes. (This is just plain false. The program provides everyone a distribution of the sales tax that would be paid on spending at the poverty level, ensuring that those who are at or below the poverty level pay only minimum taxes, if any at all. Of course, people here illegally would get no such distributions, but they’d still be paying their ‘fair share’ or more, since they aren’t entitled to the distribution… (There’s that word ‘entitle’ again. Only this time it is being used to discourage bad behavior, not encourage or even tolerate it…)
To politicians, the Fair Tax is a unacceptable solution – Fair Tax means everyone contributes as they can afford to, but it also exposes current government spending in terms the average citizen might be able to comprehend, which would most likely lead to reduced Entitlement Programs funding (the politician’s source of power). And the reduced entitlement programs would provide less incentive to immigrate illegally, thus requiring fewer funds to serve fewer people needing the entitlements, solving all the symptoms of the problem at once. But who pays for that solution? Ultimately, it’s the politicians. And just as they can’t allow themselves to be a part of the Social Security program, they can’t be a part of the illegal immigration solution if they don’t get a direct benefit from it. Because, contrary to what they want you to believe, for politicians it is all about the individual -> themselves. And the best way to get something for themselves is to pretend they are doing something for the “greater good”.
(The funny part is that if they based the initial tax rate on registered tax payments, then there would be an excess collected in the first years as a result of all those illegal immigrants paying taxes for the first time. That’s actually more $$ for their entitlement programs. But since they can’t predict it, the can’t spend it in the budget, so it just goes toward reducing the Federal Deficit. Which is good for the economy and therefore voters’ jobs, but not guaranteed to garner votes for the politicians. They don’t think we can make the connection. Even though everyone blames the economy for Bill Clinton winning…)
Let’s take back our country and once again make it a place where we welcome
“your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,…”
The ironic thing about all of this is that we closed our country to immigrants in 1965 (Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965) in order to allow government to expand the entitlement programs for American citizens and not create a charity state for the whole world. And it is those very same entitlement programs that now attract more immigrants than ever… Illegal immigration is a symptom of the problem, not the problem. So let’s quit treating the symptoms and solve the problem. Let’s get rid of our Federal Entitlement Government. Or at least make it more transparent by funding it with the Fair Tax.
So, it’s not about “CHEAP TOMATOES”. It’s really about Government Entitlement Programs and political power. We won’t effectively treat the symptoms until we are willing to attack the problem. Sometimes the medicine doesn’t taste good. But you still have to take it. Or you might die.
If you don’t think any of this is true – consider this, “Which state has the most generous entitlement programs?” That’s right, it’s California. And which state has the biggest immigration “problem”? You guessed it, California again. (Why not Texas? They have a longer border to protect. It’s because once the immigrants get in, they head straight to California for the entitlements…) So what’s really going on here? California is asking for the Federal Government to step in and solve an immigration problem that they’ve created with they’re own entitlement programs. And they want all of us to pay, effectively helping to fund their programs, again. Really just another state with their hand out. Because they feel entitled. Because they control more Electoral Votes than any other state. Because they attracted more voters into the state with those very same entitlement programs.
Have a Great Day, and if you love America,
PASS THIS ON!!!
“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy…”

Subject: CHEAP TOMATOES
Cheap Tomatoes… This should make everyone think, be you Democrat, Republican or Independent.
————————————————————————————————————————
From a California school teacher – – –
“As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:
I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levels. Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens,Huntington Park, etc., where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools.
Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I’m not talking a glass of milk and roll — but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids. (OUR
TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial.. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less then 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them “Putas” whores and throwing things that the teachers were in tears.
Free medical, free education, free food, day care etc., etc., etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements?
To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs. Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I’ll pay more for tomatoes.
We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because we won’t have the guts to enforce it. Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return? There are many hardworking Hispanic/American citizens that contribute to our
country and many that I consider my true friends. We should encourage and accept those Hispanics who have done it the right and legal way.
It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and an American culture that has become so weak and worried about “politically correct” that we don’t have the will to do anything about it.
If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know.
CHEAP LABOR? Isn’t that what the whole immigration issue is about?
Business doesn’t want to pay a decent wage.
Consumers don’t want expensive produce.
Government will tell you Americans don’t want the jobs.
But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase “cheap labor” is a myth, a farce, and a lie.
There is no such thing as “cheap labor.”
Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or $6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an “earned income credit” of up to $3,200 free.
He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.
He qualifies for food stamps.
He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.
His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.
He requires bilingual teachers and books.
He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.
If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI. Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at (our) taxpayer’s expense.
He doesn’t worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.
Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.
He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.
Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after paying their bills and his.
The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.
Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people.
THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR EITHER PARTY. ‘AND WHEN THEY LIE TO US AND DON’T DO AS THEY SAY, WE SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT ONCE!’
THIS HAS GOT TO BE PASSED ALONG TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE OR WE WILL ALL GO DOWN THE DRAIN BECAUSE A FEW DON’T CARE.
