Wrong Answer, Again

It couldn't be more timely or appropriate to the moment we're at in history, so today I simply have copied and post for you Kender's rant at the ACLU.

The ACLU is Wrong Again (BlogBurst)

by kender on 05-18-06 @ 4:24 am Filed under ACLU

Kender here, and I have wrested control of the blogburst from the hardy band of patriots that get it out every week because I am furious and THIS is a rant.

Our erstwhile and dearly beloved President Bush, having found one of his testicles behind the couch, FINALLY gets around to attempting to begin to consider taking the correct course of action by deploying 6000 National Guard Troops to aid ICE in securing our Southern Border in Name Only (SBNO) and the ACLU races with all haste to try to undermine the deployment by whining incessantly and lying to the American people.

“Oh-ho” you say, along with “Kender? How can you say that the ACLU is LYING to the goodly citizens of the United States?”

Here’s how, and as usual, it is attributable to The Queen of the ACLU, The Beauty of the Bill of Rights, the Nancy of the Nine Amendments (ask him, there is no Second Amendment) Anthony Romero:

“Turning immigration enforcement policy into another military operation is not the answer. The president’s proposed deployment of National Guard troops violates the spirit of the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the military from getting into the business of civilian law enforcement.

(emphasis mine)
source
Did you catch that?

I made it real big so you would catch it, but how many of you actually caught it?

Actually the question should be how many of you even know about it?

SEC. 15. From and after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful to employ any part of the Army of the United States, as a posse comitatus, or otherwise, for the purpose of executing the laws, except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress; and no money appropriated by this act shall be used to pay any of the expenses incurred in the employment of any troops in violation of this section And any person willfully violating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction thereof shall be punished by fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars or imprisonment not exceeding two years or by both such fine and imprisonment.

Let me repeat that.

except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress;

Got that? Never mind the fact that the since the Posse Comitatus Act is an AMERICAN LAW it should logically only apply to AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!!! But applying our laws to criminal aliens is a fight that the ACLU has won….for the moment.

But we all know that where the ACLU is concerned logic has nothing to do with it.

I propose the radical concept that it is SPECIFICALLY the job of the federal government to secure the border, and if we need National Guard Troops to accomplish that goal then that is what needs to get done. If these millions of criminal aliens were coming across with guns and in uniform would the ACLU demand that Bush not send the military to stop the invasion?

I bet they would.

In WW2 the current ACLU would have been suing the government for placing anti-aircraft guns on the coast (many of those were placed on private property with the owners blessings) and demanding that blackout rules be abolished because forcing one to turn out the lights during a possible air raid would put them in danger of tripping on something in the dark, thereby depriving them of their right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Of course, the ALCU is more than happy to let someone pursue their personal happiness in the dark, often times even when it involves children, but that is a rant for another day.

The fact of the matter is that the government has failed us by refusing to secure the border, and we have been invaded. The ACLU is doing everything in their power to stop the government from doing ITS’ JOB and in the process making us all a little less safe with each and every day that goes by.

Steve White, Idiot And Proud Of It

Steve "I am the A Hole" White

Parents complained he showed students a video that repeatedly refers to President Bush, members of his staff and conservative personalities as "a--holes." Now he's been fired by his school board after an investigation found porn on his computer. According to WorldNetDaily,The Athens News Courier, which obtained a list of the findings by administrators, said the investigation found teacher Steve White showed videos with sex acts, nudity and other obscene images to students.White was showing videos rather than teaching science.

Yes, Steve, you've certainly proven how much more clever you are then those wacky Washingtonians. Well, at least you'll have plenty of free time to see if you can find your spot on the food chain. Start with the amoeba and work down, moron.

Note: The next step would be to get rid of the one board member who voted against firing this dimwit. And this should come as no shock, he's also a candidate for the Alabama House representing the party of "Donks have morals too." No, really!

The House Of Last Hope

There is still a chance that America may survive the betrayal by her sworn protectors. Some voices of reason can still be heard in Congress. Speaking of the Senate conspiracy to grant amnesty to illegals while giving only their usual lip service to national security, some in the House are not inclined to Mexican hat dance with Bush.

"It offers a perverse incentive -- the longer and more flagrantly you have broken immigration laws, the easier it will be to get on the so-called path to citizenship," Rep. J.D. Hayworth, an Arizona Republican, told CNN. "I don't believe the American people will appreciate that.

At least I'm not the only one to notice this and you're right Congressman, not only don't I appreciate it I'm furious about it.

Still, you have the agents of foreign governments like New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, an Hispanic border-state Democrat, saying that Bush's legalization proposal will help bring illegal immigrants "out of the shadows." The goal should be to bring them out of the country. However, since your allegiance , Bill, is to Old Mexico, rather than New Mexico, this is not a concept I would expect you to comprehend. How's that fantasy baseball career coming , Bill?

Keep hammering away at your representatives, that's the only hope. The Senate has been lost to the traitors and cowards and needs a strong enema come election day.

America Is Having A Going Out of Business Sale

Here's how the auctioning off of America is going for those of you who are interested.

The Senate defeated, 55 to 40, a proposal by Senator Johnny Isakson, Republican of Georgia, that lawmakers demand that border-security measures be in place before beginning a guest-worker program of the kind envisioned by President Bush. I have added the roll call vote so you can see who was casting lots for the garments of Justice.

Voting "yes" were 7 patriotic Democrats and 33 Republicans.

Voting "no" were 55 jackals, 36 Democrats, 18 Republicans and one independent.

Not voting, 5 who had things to occupy them, more important than their nation's security.

Michelle Malkin: The Senate Rejects Enforcement 1st

The Peso Stops Here?

I had to wait until this morning to write about the "illegals" marketing pitch from last night. I didn't think my blood pressure could stand rehashing it that quickly.

The reformation of America's immigration system was never the issue, the issue was, is and continues to be the securing of our sovereign nation's borders and the enforcement of our laws all of which falls to the executive branch of our government. To clarify a point that seems a mystery to you, Mr. President, that is part of your job.

The issue of immigration does not stir intense emotion, what stirs emotion is the invasion of our nation by illegals, not immigrants. What stirs emotion is your ignoring this problem for the greater part of two terms and now preaching to us that it needs a "special" kind of solution because of your failure to address the problem in a timely manner. We are well aware that previous presidents are guilty as well, but one has to believe that after 9/11 there would have been a sense of urgency on your part to secure our nation. Nowhere have I seen an explanation for your complete lack of attention to a most obvious flaw in our security.

To say that we must "begin by recognizing the problems with our immigration system" is most disingenuous. Once again, who is responsible for that system? It would be you, Mr. President. And trying to share the blame that should fall to you, directly, with all of the American people is truly an act of cowardice.

If you knew that for "decades, the United States has not been in complete control of its borders", why did you wait another half of a decade to address this vital issue? You knew, Mr. President because even in this speech you stated, " I was the governor of a state that has a 1,200-mile border with Mexico. So I know how difficult it is to enforce the border, and how important it is." So, the truth is you knew this was a problem when you took office, you knew, certainly after 9/11, it was a critical issue, and you did nothing.

I am sick of you trying to portray people who have broken our nation's laws as living "in the shadows of our society". That is what happens when you break the law, you have to avoid the limelight. What part of that do you fail to understand? These people are not victims, so stop trying to portray them as such. If they have been victimized at all it is by their own country and your amigo El Zorro. The fact that they are, as you say, "beyond the reach and protection of American law" is because the law has not been enforced. Once again, who has failed to do that job? Can you say, the president? I knew you could!

The very next part of your speech says, " We are a nation of laws, and we must enforce our laws." Don't make me ask again whose job that is and who has not been doing that job!

The second statement is totally untrue and is only worthy of a leftwing moonbat who loves slogans over fact. We are not a nation of immigrants. If you were an immigrant you could not hold the job you have, that is the law . After you master the pronunciation of the word nuclear, perhaps you should tackle the definition of the word immigrant. That would be a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence. We are no longer a nation of immigrants. My parents were born here, I was born here and my children were born here. Regardless, of any politically correct bovine manure you wish to spread, we are native born Americans and so are the majority of the American people.

"America can be a lawful society and a welcoming society at the same time." We are already a welcoming society, we just need someone to do your job that understands law enforcement. Do not try to make America look bad to cover your own ineptitude.

"We will fix the problems created by illegal immigration"; illegals are the problem, anything else is a symptom.

"The border should be open to trade and lawful immigration and shut to illegal immigrants, as well as criminals, drug dealers and terrorists." Gee. Mr. President, what a grasp of the obvious. When exactly did you have this epiphany? Was it when you dropped below 30% in the polls?

I am not even going to address the paragraphs of meaningless fluff about the National Guard and the Border Patrol because this will have little to no impact on stemming the invasion.

Let's cut to the chase. " The United States is not going to militarize the southern border. Mexico is our neighbor, and our friend." I don't know about your friends, Mr. President but I sincerely doubt that they sneak into your house and use your stuff without permission and when caught, demand they be allowed to stay and be treated as family.

"More than 85 percent of the illegal immigrants we catch crossing the southern border are Mexicans, and most are sent back home within 24 hours." Equally true is that within 24 hours they are trying to sneak back in. We need to charge Mexico for the cost of this since they refuse to help prevent it and are mostly to blame for it.

"We have expanded the number of beds in our detention facilities, and we will continue to add more. We have expedited the legal process to cut the average deportation time. And we are making it clear to foreign governments that they must accept back their citizens who violate our immigration laws. As a result of these actions, we have ended "catch and release" for illegal immigrants from some countries. And I will ask Congress for additional funding and legal authority, so we can end "catch and release" at the southern border once and for all. When people know that they will be caught and sent home if they enter our country illegally, they will be less likely to try to sneak in."
Let us not discuss your line, "This practice, called "catch and release," is unacceptable and we will end it."
Who ultimately is responsible for this fiasco? Who should have fixed this problem years ago? Thank you.

And now, the temporary worker program that is behind all of this. When you have shown you can do your job of securing and protecting our borders then, and only then, should you be allowed to move to another level.

"America needs to conduct this debate on immigration in a reasoned and respectful tone." What you're really saying, Mr.President, is don't yell at me for not doing my job. Well, perhaps if you took responsibility for failing the nation instead of trying to spread the blame around it might be easier to believe and trust you. However, since you fail to realize that the enemy in this case is you and many of your fellow politicians on both sides, wisdom decrees that we treat you and your "plan" with suspicion.

Say goodnight, George!

Chelsea Scolds Hillary

I found this article at CNN amusing.

After telling an audience that young people today "think work is a four-letter word," Hillary Clinton said she apologized to her daughter.

"I said, 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to convey the impression that you don't work hard,"' Clinton said.

Ok, what possible other message does a statement like that send? This is the typical response from politicians when they are actually called to stand behind what they say.

Hillary said that her daughter, Chelsea, phoned to complain after learning about the comments. I guess Chelsea was not pleased to be caught up in one of her mother's sweeping generalizations.

The Clinton Legacy

Just saw this post at Mr. Minority. Get over there and read it. Here's an excerpt:

Scots infected with HIV protested Bill Clinton's appearance in Glasgow yesterday, highlighting the former president's connection to a scandal in which tainted blood from high-risk Arkansas prisoners was used to treat thousands of people in Europe who later came down with AIDS and hepatitis.

"I feel your pain." Not bloody likely, although I'm amazed Bubba isn't riddled with STDs.

Birds Of A Feather

John Kerry of Massachusetts reporting for self promotion, once again, signs on with Tom Harkin from Iowa and Barbara Boxer from California to the measure to censure President Bush. Introduced by Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold, that states original Swiss Cheese head, it intends to censure the president for authorizing domestic eavesdropping and alledgedly misleading Americans about its legality.

The Senate should be censuring themselves for all their own shameful shenanigans but that seems to be a means of self discipline they are quick to avoid. However, these four would make good practice material for openers.

The Truth Shall Set You Free

Cardinal George Pell, the Archbishop of Sydney Australia, is being attacked by Muslims for daring to question whether Islam is indeed a religion of peace and tolerance.

In February, the Cardinal addressed a group of Catholic businessmen in Florida. Now, the Muslim drama queens emerge, crying as in the case of Keysar Trad of the Islamic Friendship Association of Australia that the Cardinal's comments were "ill-informed," and that the speech was "an off-the-cuff dismissal of the teachings of one of the world's great religions."

Read the Cardinal's speech here, it is lengthy but well worth your time. There is nothing offensive about it.

You have to admire the Cardinal's reponse to the Muslim critics. Here it is:

"Isolated suggestions that I am uninformed on Islam are clichés, smokescreens to distract, to divert attention rather than address basic issues which need to be discussed.

Islamic terrorists are not a figment of anyone’s imagination and the history of relations with Islam is full of conflict.

I continue to be completely committed to dialogue with Muslims, to supporting moderate forces on all sides.

I recommend that people read the Quran and my article in Quadrant (also on the Sydney Archdiocese website, www.sydney.catholic.org.au) and judge for themselves.

We need a lot of continuing dialogue, based on truth, history and the current situation."

Finally, a spiritual Christian authority who doesn't fold like a house of cards when confronted by the heretical haranguing of Islamic fanatics.

At least there are some still keeping the faith. The Church in Australia is fortunate to be blessed with such a shepherd.

He also managed to tick off the Green Party because of his comments about the environment. Read that at CNSNews.

Peace Only Unto Those Who Follow The True Path

There's more speculation regarding the letter to Bush and the true intentions of madman Mahmoud from the Jerusalem Newswire.

They quote an article from The New York Sun:

According to the Sun, a coded message is contained in the closing section of the eight-page letter. While the rest of the message had been translated into English, the salutation in had not. It reads "Vasalam Ala Man Ataba'al hoda" and means "Peace only unto those who follow the true path."

"It is a phrase with historical significance in Islam, for, according to Islamic tradition, in year six of the Hejira - the late 620s - the prophet Mohammad sent letters to the Byzantine emperor and the Sassanid emperor telling them to convert to the true faith of Islam or be conquered. The letters included the same phrase that President Ahmadinejad used to conclude his letter to Mr. Bush."

"For Mohammad, the letters were a prelude to a Muslim offensive, a war launched for the purpose of imposing Islamic rule over infidels."

Read the rest of the article at Jerusalem Newswire about the preparations Iran is making for war, as seen firsthand by investigative reporter George Thomas.

We must not underestimate the psychotic president of Persia. We are not going to accept Islam and that is the only deal he is offering.

Reference Yesterday's Post: Hitting The Nail On The Head

Pakistan Mentoring Iran?

Via The Chicago Sun-Times, comes word that the Iranians went to a retired Pakistani general for advice on how to prevent an attack on their nuclear facilities.

Retired general, Mirza Aslam Beg, admits he told them, ''make it clear that if anything happens to Iran, if anyone attacks it -- it doesn't matter who it is or how it is attacked -- that Iran's answer will be to hit Israel; the only target will be Israel.''

With allies like this, it's easy to confuse them with your enemies. How long can Pervez Musharraf retain power and stave off the mobs of radicals that populate Pakistan? And if he goes, will Pakistan be another nuclear armed Muslim madhouse?

Read more about the Pakistan Iran connection at The Mercury News.

Hitting The Nail On The Head

Iran Focus tells us a senior Iranian cleric has described the infamous Mahmoud Ahmadinejad letter to President Bush as a “divine inspiration”.

“I suggest that all children read this letter and that it be read in schools and universities and that state television and radio repeatedly broadcast it”, Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, head of the Guardians Council said.

“Whether [the U.S.] answers it or not, it will be to their loss. If they answer, what will they want to say? If they don’t it will show their weakness and resignation”, he added.

Jannati added that the U.S. was heading towards its demise.

The more I read this letter, hard as it is to follow the psychotic ramblings of a self-proclaimed madman, the more I am convinced it is merely a check mark in Ahmadinejad's to do list before his expectation of the arrival of the twelfth Imam and Armageddon.

When an aircraft crashed in Teheran a few months ago, killing 108 people, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad thanked the dead, saying: "What is important is that they have shown the way to martyrdom which we must follow."

Is this the statement of a rational national leader?

A few months ago, he told a cleric that he had felt the hand of God entrancing world leaders as he delivered a speech to the UN General Assembly.

Ahmadinejad described how one of his Iranian colleagues had claimed to have seen a glow of light around Mahmoud as he began his speech to the UN.

"I felt it myself too," Mahmoud recounts. "I felt that all of a sudden the atmosphere changed there. And for 27-28 minutes all the leaders did not blink…It's not an exaggeration, because I was looking.

"They were astonished, as if a hand held them there and made them sit. It had opened their eyes and ears for the message of the Islamic Republic."

Of course they were astonished, they were not expecting to be subjected to the rantings of a man speaking as if demonically possessed.

Ahmadinejad boasts that the Imam (yes, the missing one, who is supposed to return) gave him the presidency for a single task: provoking a "clash of civilizations" in which the Muslim world, led by Iran, takes on the "infidel" West, led by the United States, and defeats it in a slow but prolonged contest.

You see, Mahmoud believes he has khalvats (tête-à-têtes) with the Hidden Imam. According to Shia lore, the Imam is a messianic figure who, although in hiding, remains the true Sovereign of the World. In every generation, the Imam chooses 36 men, (and, for obvious reasons, no women) naming them the owtad or "nails", whose presence, hammered into mankind's existence, prevents the universe from "falling off". Although the "nails" are not known to common mortals, it is, at times, possible to identify one thanks to his deeds. Guess who thinks he's a nail? Survey says, Mahmoud!

So, although much is published about his rantings regarding Israel, it is not Israel that he's after although its annihilation would be a side benefit. He wants to be an instrument of the Hidden Imam who will destroy the infidel, punish the West and remove the stains of disgrace from Islam.

Unfortunately for Mahmoud, the Imam is so well hidden that he exists only in Mahmoud's hallucinations.

Unfortunately for us, we have a very mentally ill fanatic leading a dangerous nation that is very close to having true destructive power.

We have learned what happens when you appease goose stepping insane arrogance before; we must not let history repeat this mistake again.

Stop The Senate Sellout

(CNSNews.com) - A coalition of Hispanic Americans is teaming up with U.S. House leaders in sending a letter to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) to express their opposition to legislation that would grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. The coalition, called You Don't Speak for Me!, was formed after the recent demonstrations by illegal aliens and their supporters who want the government to grant them amnesty. "When it comes to immigration policy, the United States Senate apparently doesn't speak for anyone, except the people who have broken our laws and cheap labor business interests," retired Col. Al Rodriguez said in a press release. "National polls - especially those done after the May 1 illegal alien protests and boycott - show that an overwhelming majority of Americans oppose the kind of amnesty being promoted by the Senate and the White House. That opposition includes millions of Americans who are of Hispanic heritage," said Rodriguez.

Thank you Colonel Rodriguez. We need every American to join in fighting the "Senate Sellout." We must make the voices of native born and naturalized patriotic citizens so loud that the cowards in Washington will tremble. Our allegiance is but to one flag and one nation only, the Stars and Stripes and the USA.

Tancredo Has The President's Number

According to NewsMax, Representative Tom Tancredo says that if President Bush announces a plan to deploy the National Guard along the U.S.-Mexican border in his speech to the nation Monday night, he'll support it.

"We train National Guard all over the country, and there is no reason why we shouldn't be conducting that training on our borders," Tancredo told ABC News. "Really, we are not trying to take them from other places where they are needed."

But he remains skeptical on whether the White House will follow through.

"I hate to be too cynical about this, but my guess is it is simply being done to influence the debate in the Senate and in the House on the immigration package," Tancredo told Knight Ridder news on Friday. "And once the debate is over, we'll go back to business as usual.

The Colorado Republican said he fears that Bush is merely "is hoping to take the argument off the table that we're not doing enough on the enforcement side so that they can get the bill passed giving him an amnesty/guest-worker plan, and that will be the last you hear about securing the borders."

Tancredo has been at odds with the White House for years over the immigration issue. After a now legendary meeting in 2001 with top Bush advisor Karl Rove, where he warned that Bush was making a mistake by ignoring illegal immigration,Tancredo said he was told he'd never be invited back to the White House again.

The way this White House is being run, I would take that as a compliment. I believe Tancredo's fears are justified and I will be astounded if they aren't realized. This is nothing more than a brazen attempt to negate the will of the American people by Senors Bush and Rove. I hope Tancredo and the other patriots of the House tell the President and the Senate to take their amnesty and go to hell.

A Nuclear Syria Next?

According to The Washington Times, US intelligence agencies suspect Syria was offered and received nuclear weapons technology from the Pakistani suppliers headed by A.Q. Khan. Up until now, the administration only spoke of linking Khan to Libya, Iran and North Korea.

As suspect as the quality of American intelligence has become, there is little reason to doubt the veracity of this discovery. Crazy Khan relished being a tool of the enemies of the West and that would make him friendly to giraffe boy Bashar of Syria.

The same report disclosing the link also points out, China is a "key supplier" of nuclear, missile and weapons of mass destruction goods to states of concern.

China, Libya, Iran, Syria and North Korea...how long before they bring Cuba, Venezuela and Bolivia into the fold?

Memorial Day Madness

THE BIGGEST SELLOUT SINCE YALTA

Well, it looks like the great amnesty plan is underway. First, CNN reports that:

"In back-to-back moves this week, the Pentagon began exploring ways to lend support at the Southern border, while the House on Thursday voted to allow the Homeland Security Department in limited cases to use soldiers in that region."

There's the move to give us the false impression that they really, really mean to secure the borders this time (wink, wink). We know otherwise, all it means is Mexico will have more sources of information on what American citizens are doing and what the are safest and most convenient invasion routes.

Meanwhile, the traitors on Capitol Hill are nearly wetting their pants with amnesty anticipation. Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tennessee, and Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, two of the brokers selling out America were applauded by Dana Perino, deputy White House press secretary, who exclaimed giddily, "We congratulate the Senate on reaching agreement, and we look forward to passage of a bill prior to Memorial Day."

Memorial Day?!

Is this how we will desecrate our honored dead? Will we sell out the soil they bled and died for by granting free passes to those who have no understanding nor repect for what America represents? If only those sleeping patriots could arise from their rest and free us from the traitors who have seized our nation's government. We need men and women like them now, more than ever.

Dean: Dumb, Devious, Or Some Of Each

Well, Howie Dean has managed to tick off the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. I'm not sure whether he thought he could slip a lie by everyone when he told CBN that the 2004 Democratic platform declares "marriage is between a man and a woman." We all know Howie is not above distorting the truth to achieve his nefarious ends, but maybe it's just his stupidity and ignorance that keeps him clueless as to his own party's platform. After all, he's only the chairman. And, he did once say his favorite book of the New Testament was Job!

After the gay rights group complained about his fabrication, Dean said: "I misstated the Democratic Party's platform, which does not say marriage should be limited to a man and a woman."

Maybe I should have entitled this, Sum Of Each.

Rewarding Bad Behavior

Yesterday, the American Civil Liberties Union announced the winners of its Youth Activist Scholarship for 2006.

Using money to perpetuate bad behavior, the ACLU will hand out $4,000 college scholarships to students they deem to have espoused the same radical agenda.

One of the issues that has helped acquire a scholarship is the right to not stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. This gives you some idea of what is important to the ACLU. There was a time in this country when we would have rewarded a student for an essay on why the Pledge is important, but not now. The ACLU thinks not standing for the Pledge is a good thing; why they think burning or desecrating our national symbol is a privilege deserving not only protection, but promotion. After all, when you are of limited mind and intellect how else can you express disatisfaction with the mainstream of American society? Once you have established that panhandling is a form of protected self expression and a political statement why not see if you can get away with trampling the flag too.

The lunatic logic of the left leaves no stone unturned in its quest to find and promote the basest and ugliest aspects of anti-societal behavior. The ACLU are their sewer spelunkers, attempting to resurrect that which civilized people have flushed away.

Tancredo Speaks Out

The following is a statement taken directly from Tom Tancredo's site. Thank you, Congressman, it is heartening to know there are a few patriots still walking the halls of government in Washington.

Congressmen Tom Tancredo (R-CO) decried a recently-disclosed U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) practice of tipping off the Mexican military to the location of Minutemen volunteers. According to a story in this morning’s Inland Daily Bulletin, CBP notifies the Mexican government of when and where the Minutemen are planning to monitor the border and if violence is used by the Minutemen against illegal aliens. There has not been one verified instance of Minutemen volunteers using violence against illegal aliens.

“The Mexican military doesn’t exactly have a ‘good government’ reputation. The Border Patrol has documented more than two hundred incursions into the U.S by the Mexican military, and Texas sheriffs even apprehended Mexican government vehicles that were used to ferry drug runners across the border. By tipping off Mexico’s military to the Minutemen’s location, the U.S. government is asking for trouble,” said Tancredo.

“Heavily-armed military officials stationed only yards from civilians are at least intimidating. I can only surmise that the Border Patrol bureaucrats’ spying is meant to have a chilling effect on the Minutemen’s recruitment of more volunteers,” said Tancredo.

“The Minutemen haven’t been accused of breaking the law. Quite the contrary—they have gone out of their way to aid law enforcement and ensure the safety of our border. The U.S. government has no grounds upon which to stifle the Minutemen’s constitutional right to organize,” Tancredo concluded. “I want to know the legal basis for CBP informing a foreign government of the activities of private citizens who are obeying the law.”

Any Openings On The Ninth Circus?

This comes via the Scotsman.

A judge in the Philippines who claimed he could see into the future and admitted consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs has asked for his Supreme Court job back after being sacked.

This may be the kind of breakthrough in international law that our leftwing looney judges have been waiting for! Imagine the kind of decisions they could arrive at, if only they were allowed to read entrails and cast chicken bones.

Maybe what this former judge needs to do is sit back and wait for an opening on the ninth circus court here in the US. Then, instead of consulting with mystic dwarfs, he can actually collaborate with mental midgets.

The Lawman

At least Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona is willing to enforce the law. A posse of 100 volunteers and sheriff's deputies will patrol the Phoenix area and arrest any illegal immigrants.

"It's important to send the message out to stay in Mexico and don't come roaming around here hoping you're going to get amnesty," said Arpaio. "We're going to arrest any illegal who violates this new law," he said. "I'm not going to turn these people over to federal authorities so they can have a free ride back to Mexico. I'll give them a free ride into the county jail."

Already, about 120 illegals have been arrested using a new state smuggling law.

Of course the Mexican Consul General's Office in Phoenix has an attorney and is planning to actively interfere and challenge our laws.

I wonder if Bush will instruct the Border Patrol to advise Mexico of Sheriff Arpaio and the posse's whereabouts so as not to impact the drug traffic and people smuggling.

It's becoming really hard to tell who the good guys are anymore.

Border Patrol Sells Out Minutemen To Mexico

There's been a lot of posting about the U.S. Border Patrol alerting the Mexican government to the locations of civilian border patrol groups. Michelle Malkin makes an excellent point when she says, "If the ACLU weren't so busy demonizing the Minutemen, you would think they might be on the side of law-abiding Americans being surveilled by their government." Not only that Michelle, but what could be more eregious than the lawful travel and location of our citizens being reported to a foreign government? The ACLU should be absolutely livid if they actually believed in what they say.

The ACLU says, "Restrictions on Americans' freedom to travel to Cuba violate the Constitution." Well, what about our right to travel to the border without be spied on and reported to a foreign government.

The ACLU is afraid of CCTV surveillance because it can "mark innocent people for tracking solely on the basis of racial, gender or other characteristics." Isn't the Border Patrol tracking the Minutemen because of who they are? It's a form of racial profiling, targeting Americans and reporting their legal, private activities to a foreign government.

The absolute hypocrisy of the Federal Government and the ACLU is astounding.

Kerry Needs Money?

John Kerry recently created a defense fund to pay his legal costs in a federal defamation lawsuit filed last fall by a Pennsylvania filmmaker, Carlton Sherwood.

Sherwood alleged that Kerry and a top aide sought to "discredit and silence" him while blocking the broadcast of his anti-Kerry documentary during the final weeks of the presidential race.

Over at VVLF (Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation), retired Air Force Col. George "Bud" Day has this to say, "I'm sure he (Sen. Kerry) has many rich, veteran-hating friends. Maybe Hanoi Jane (Fonda) will pick up his legal bills. But, he's not exactly penniless. Why one of the wealthiest men in the Senate would expect others to pay his lawyers and use questionable Senate privileges against veterans he's wronged is shameful. Like everything about this character, it's phony, deceitful, and a sham."

The film, "Stolen Honor: Wounds that Never Heal," included interviews with Col. Day and several other Vietnam POWs held in the notorious Hanoi Hilton prison camp in 1971. That is when then Lt. Kerry publicly denounced Vietnam veterans as "war criminals" before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Those accusations, the POWs said, were not only false but threatened their survival and lengthened their captivity in the hands of the Communists who had already beaten, tortured and even murdered many American POWs.

Please visit the VVLF site and learn more about the treacherous John Kerry.

ACLU Attacking General Hayden

No sooner does President Bush nominate General Michael V. Hayden to be the new Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, then the American Civil Liberties Union begins lobbying the Senate to vigorously question the nominee on his involvement with the "warrantless program to spy on Americans."

They preface all of this by stating they are a non-partisan organization, and take no official position on the nomination of any cabinet-level appointees. Yes, they state it with a straight face. If they are non-partisan, Lord help us if they ever opt to take sides.

The following is from Anthony D. Romero, ACLU Executive Director as presented on the ACLU website:

"The appointment of General Hayden is the latest example of President Bush giving promotions to those who have led the greatest attacks on our Constitution and fundamental freedoms. This administration continues to demonstrate a fundamental lack of respect for the rule of law and our core civil liberties and civil rights. We hope that the Senate will use this opportunity to break through the administration's stonewalling about the illegal program to spy on Americans without any check. Lawmakers and the American people have a right to know how many people have had their private conversations monitored.

"Hayden's approval of warrantless surveillance on Americans raises serious questions about whether the CIA would be further unleashed on the American public. It was under General Hayden's watch that the NSA started to wiretap Americans, without court or Congress' approval, even though the FISA Court acts quickly to review requests for intelligence investigations. Those who oversee our nation's intelligence agencies must have the highest respect and regard for our Constitution -- not the blatant disregard that individuals like General Hayden have shown. This is also an opportunity for Senators to demand the CIA to disclose its operations that may have run afoul of the Constitution and other federal laws - the practice of extraordinary rendition, the torture and abuse of prisoners and the use of 'black sites,' or secret prisons operated overseas. We encourage the Senate to fully investigate this nominee."

Oh yeah, that's non-partisan. Romero wants a fishing expedition because he's hoping something may have happened.

If there's blatant disregard on anyone's part it's Romero and his ilk with their disdain for those who are trying to keep us free. Their cavalier attitude about the Islamofascist threat to this country manifests itself in their open borders policy and their attempts to thwart the justice and security systems of our nation.

If the ACLU is against him, he must be the right guy for the job.

Because You Are Lukewarm

Michelle Malkin posts today: BELGIAN CHURCHES ISLAMIFIED

This should come as a shock to no one.

Last September, in a speech at Catholic University, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick offered a prayer "in the name of Allah, the merciful and compassionate."

Here is the entire speech:

"Traditional Islam: The Path to Peace"
Remarks by Cardinal Theodore McCarrick to King Abdullah II of Jordan
Archbishop of Washington and CUA Chancellor

Your Majesty,

A few months ago, when I was privileged to pray for you on another occasion in this capital city, I asked Allah, the compassionate and merciful Lord of all the world, to bless you and to help you make your country a bridge across which all nations might walk in unity, fellowship and love. As I listened to your words today, I believe my prayer is being answered.

Indeed, the Amman Message of November of last year is a blueprint and a challenge not only to the great world of Islam, but to the whole human race. Your thoughtful leadership is a stirring invitation to all of us, especially to the people of the Book, the family of Abraham, who share so much and who are called to be brothers and sisters in God's one human family.

Your Majesty's call and that of the Holy Father are in so many ways the same. May Allah, the merciful and compassionate, continue to guide your steps along this noble path. May He guide and protect you, your family and your beloved country and may peace and justice come to all lands and all peoples through your efforts, your vision and your courage.

In the name of Allah, the merciful and compassionate God, we pray. Amen.

So, if a prince of the Catholic Church is praying to Allah, is it any wonder blasphemy is rampant? Islam denies the divinity of the Christ and the Christian belief in a triune God. We do not worship the same God despite what the politically correct would try to tell us.

What happened to, "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me."

Woe to Cardinal McCarrick and the Belgian bishops.

Uninsured, Unlicensed And Illegal

From TC Palm by way of WorldNetDaily:

Every Tuesday morning, about two dozen men and women, sometimes more, huddle quietly in an alcove on the second floor of the Indian River County Courthouse.

They are illegal immigrants, mostly from Mexico, who have been charged with driving a vehicle without a valid driver's license.

This takes place over and over again, illegals continuing to flout the law with impunity.

In Fort Pierce, St. Lucie County Judge Philip J. Yacucci Jr. said he is "extremely frustrated" by the lack of a coherent federal policy on immigration because he sees 30 to 40 unlicensed immigrants in his courtroom each week.

"The federal government is hypocritical because it has zero policy to remedy illegal immigration," Yacucci said. "We're left at the state level to deal with the problem."

The Federal Government continues to fail to do its job. Catch and release is the name of the feds game and there is no indication they are willing to change.

Driving without a license and obviously without insurance is a serious offense. Why should American citizens be subjected to yet another threat from illegals?

Here is some information from Mexonline if you should find yourself needing to drive south of the border. If you don't think this is fair, try going down to Mexico and demonstrate against it.

Make sure you have Mexican auto insurance when driving into Mexico - the Mexican goverment (and police) do not recognize policies written by American Insurance companies, even if that policy has "Mexican" coverage.

U.S. & Canadian auto insurance is not valid in Mexico. While Mexican auto insurance is not mandatory, it is highly recommended. If you are in an accident or other vehicle-related problems and you do not have insurance, you may be arrested and your vehicle impounded until the authorities can figure out the situation.

If your car is found in Mexico beyond the authorized time, or without the appropiate documents, it will be immediately confiscated.

So much for our amigos to the south!

Virginia Sends A Message

Last week's municipal elections in Herndon, Virginia, were about one issue, illegal immigration. Voters unseated the mayor and two Town Council members who supported a bitterly debated day-labor center for immigrant workers.

Incumbent Mayor Michael O'Reilly had deliberately ignored public opposition to accommodating illegal aliens.

"Herndon is a harbinger of what is to come for other politicians who disregard the public's growing anger over mass illegal immigration," predicts Dan Stein, president of the Federation of American Immigration Reform.

"The message to local, state and national politicians is clear: Pander to the special interests that constitute the illegal alien lobby and you will find yourselves looking for a different line of work come Election Day."

"Monday was billed as 'a day without an immigrant.' For supporters of illegal aliens in Herndon, Tuesday turned out to be 'a day without a political career,'" said Stein.

"If Congress does not turn its attention over the next few months to addressing the voters' demands for meaningful enforcement of America's immigration laws and rejecting calls for an illegal alien amnesty, there will be many more politicians around the country who share Mayor O'Reilly's and the Herndon Town Council's fate."

"Public opinion has always clearly favored strong immigration enforcement and rejected accommodating illegal aliens with hiring centers, access to public benefits and service, and amnesty. Now those sentiments are being expressed at the ballot box, and any politician who ignores them does so at his or her own peril," said Stein.

"As the soon to be former mayor and town council in Herndon have discovered, immigration is now an issue that decides elections. While illegal aliens and their supporters make a lot of noise on the streets, the voters still have the last word at the ballot box."

Nicely said Mr. Stein and may this be the "shot heard 'round the world" for the real revolution that's going to take place at the polls in America.

We're On Our Own, Says UFO Report

In England, a report, that was completed in 2000 and stamped "Secret: UK Eyes Only", has been made public.The Ministry of Defence report on Unidentified Flying Objects has concluded that there is no proof of alien life forms.

The four-year study, entitled Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK, has finally answered the question, "Is anyone out there?"

The answer, as most of us already guessed, is "no".

It has been determined that the causes for UFOs range from meteors and atmospheric conditions to birds, airplanes, bright lights and balloons.

House Dems Plan For The Fall

The Washington Post says:

"Democratic leaders, increasingly confident they will seize control of the House in November, are laying plans for a legislative blitz during their first week in power that would raise the minimum wage, roll back parts of the Republican prescription drug law, implement homeland security measures and reinstate lapsed budget deficit controls."

I'm hoping that the fall will be all those up for election that have betrayed or contributed to the betrayal of this nation.

May the loyal, legal American voters of this country send the traitorous scoundrels, who have failed to represent us, from office, both Democrat and Republican.

May the message go forth, that we will not stand for the sovereignty of this great nation to be abridged by enemies internal and external.

It is time for loyal Americans to reject the global assimilation that is the agenda of those enemies of America, both without and within.

Preach It, Arnold

Via the Los Angeles Times:

Arnold Schwarzenegger, California's governor, blasted the federal government on Friday, saying "the federal government has failed the people of America in a terrible way, in a disastrous way, when it comes to this immigration situation."

Arnold is right on the money.

He said the federal government has allowed the border problem to "hang out there for 20 years and not do anything about it, when they knew this is a problem." For them to go home for spring break and not really take care of it when they know this was boiling here in this country is also irresponsible," he said.

I have beaten this drum many times on this blog. Here are a few examples:

It's The Amnesty, Stupid April 26th
"Our president is rapidly falling in the polls because he no longer has the support of the American people. The Republicans are about to pay a heavy price at election time, midterm, because they have failed to deliver on their promises. Americans do not want amnesty and anything short of securing our borders and sifting carefully through who is here and deciding, case by case, who goes and who stays is unacceptable."

Like A Cheap Suit April 12th
"This entire debacle is playing out as if it has been scripted to delude the American people. It seems the decision to make citizens out of millions of illegal trespassers on our soil has already been made and now the play is in its final act.

The illegals are here because our government has deliberately refused to enforce existing law. The illegals will remain because the government deliberately refuses to enforce the will of the American people. What is going on in Washington is merely the lipstick on the pig."

Without Representation April 11th
"75 percent say illegals should be denied government supplied health care and food stamps, with 21 percent saying they should get those benefits. A majority, 69 percent, say illegals shouldn't be allowed to get U.S. drivers licenses.Is that enough of a majority for you idiots in Washington? We already fought a revolution over having no representation, are we going to have to do it again?"

The Selling Of America, By Kerry And Heinz April 11th
During the Democratic Primary Debate in Albuquerque, in September of 2003, John Kerry was asked, "Would you support legalizing undocumented immigrants in this country?"

His reply? "Absolutely. I supported and was prepared to vote for amnesty from 1986."

Teresa Heinz, Kerry's wife has a favorite charity called the Tides Foundation. This is a grant making institution that funds radical groups, one of which is the Barrio Warriors, an Hispanic organization that calls for the liberation of the American Southwest.

The Nightmare Of A Dream Act Lives April 10th
Illegal alien students even had a mock graduation ceremony where they dressed in caps and gowns and received fake diplomas signed by fake American senators, Orrin Hatch, Dick Lugar and Dick Durbin who all sponsored this atrocity. This took place in our nation's Capitol, obviously with these senators approval. The Benedict Arnold club is alive and active.

Illegal Amnesty Bill, Reading The Fine Print April 9th
All immigration judges would step down after serving seven years. Replacements are retricted to attorneys with at least five years' experience practicing immigration law. Most of these would be attorneys who represent aliens in the courts, mostly liberals who would not be enthusiastic about enforcing immigration laws.

If You Have Enough Time, It Ain't No Crime April 7th
We will be no better off then we were before, no more secure (we're getting a virtual wall instead of a real one). Except now, we will have almost 10 million foreigners, most of whom couldn't give a tinker's dam about this country, running around legally. That will entitle them to more government aid, handouts and benefits, for which we will all pay dearly. Whatever we're saving in the price of lettuce will be paid out at tax time and in overburdened facilities (hospitals, clinics, post offices, motor vehicle departments, etc.) used by all of us.

America Betrayed April 6th
Are you happy with the disgusting display of your political parties applauding themselves for agreeing to betray the laws and sovereignty of our country? Like little children who have learned to play well together, yet do not understand the treachery they have wrought, they are the dealers of doom.

Amnesty Man April 4th
This bill does absolutely nothing to make the public secure, it may be securing some ethnic voting blocks for traitorous politicians like Kerry who would sell his country out for success at the ballot box.

McCain Goes Clintonesque April 3rd
On Friday, he blatantly encouraged illegals and their cronies to continue demonstrating, telling them, "If such demonstrations continue, I think we will have a bill for the President to sign soon," and "The more debate, the more demonstrations, the more likely we will prevail."

Kill The Bill April 1st
I encourage you to contact your senators this weekend and let them know how you feel about the Kennedy/McCain bill. Phone, fax, email, blog, use every means at your disposal to let Washington know how strongly you are against this legislation. Bury them in an avalanche of protest, so that when they return on Monday they will see how the majority feels and know there will be hell to pay if they defy the will of the people again.

Those are excerpts from the posts I wrote in April, voicing some of the same criticism as Arnold. The government has failed us and not by accident. For over twenty years they ignored a growing problem and now they have the gall to tell us, it is so big that amnesty is the only way to deal with it. Other solutions are written off as impractical and unrealistic. What is impractical and unrealistic is to think that you can remain in office after breaking your oath and ignoring the will of the vast majority of the American people (those being legal citizens of this nation, since that seems to need to be defined for many of our politicians).

I hope and pray, that the real betrayed people of this nation will cast their votes carefully and turn away from office every one of these scoundrels that has helped sell out America. Let the message go, to both the Democrats and Republicans, that if you give us traitorous candidates for 2006 and 2008, we will reject them.

The legal, loyal citizens of this country have had enough!

Plane Boarded In Newark

This from FOXNews:

Port Authority police took five men into custody immediately after an American Airlines plane landed at Newark Airport today. The plane was from Dallas Fort Worth and authorities responded after an air marshal notified them of five men he considered suspicious. They remain in custody.

French Failure Holidays

Stacy over at Better Left Said has this to say about Cinco De Mayo:

I don't care what your stance is on illegal immigration; any holiday that commemorates the failure of the French is worth celebrating.

Stacy, I'm sorry, but if we were to really celebrate every French military failure as a holiday we'd be working less days than they do. Come to think of it, maybe that's why their economy is in the toilet. As TrekMedic says, "cheese eating surrender monkeys."

Politics As Unusual

Chris over at LEAVWORLD has done a nice roundup of election issues.

Here's an excerpt:

The "signs" all say that '06 will cause a shift leftward in Congress, perhaps giving majorities to Dems in either the House or Senate. This is the "conventional wisdom," a term coined by the late John Kenneth Galbraith. What other signs are out there? The Black political community is being courted by Republicans, who point to 40 years of failed Democrat policies, at the same time that Dems are courting the expansion of the Latino vote, by citing illegal immigrants as the new "civil rights" beneficiaries.

Go over and give this a read, it's thought provoking and has some good insights. I agree with him on the immigration issue.

The Law Doesn't Apply To The Kennedys

UPDATE, Boston Herald: A hostess at a popular Capitol Hill watering hole has said she saw Patrick Kennedy drinking in the hours before the accident.


From this morning's New York Daily News comes word that Teddy Kennedy's son, Patrick, wrecked his car in an accident. Capitol police are claiming their supervisors nixed a sobriety test and arrangements were made for him to be driven home.

Although Kennedy denies drinking, there are statements that describe him as staggering and that he had an odor of alchohol about him. When first approached by the police, Kennedy "declared to them he was a congressman and was late to a vote," says a statement. "The House had adjourned nearly three hours before this incident."

Why then was no test given? Would the average citizen have been treated this way? The answer, of course, is no and once again a Kennedy gets preferential treatment.

Patrick Kennedy has a history of cocaine use and alcohol abuse and has been in rehab. This is the second car he's wrecked in a matter of months.

Then there's the assault on a female airport screener and the Coast Guard having to send a rescue boat to take Patrick's distraught date off his chartered yacht, all part of his glorious past.

Well, as they say, the nut doesn't fall far from the tree, but how many "Get Out of Jail Free" cards do these guys get? Even when they kill someone they don't get arrested!

No Trip to France For Moussaoui

Have you seen this from Reuters UK?

France could at some stage ask the United States to allow Zacarias Moussaoui to serve his life prison sentence in a French jail, the Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.

Moussaoui, a 37-year old French citizen of Moroccan origin, was jailed for life by a U.S. jury on Wednesday for his role in the September 11 2001 attacks on the United States.

France and the United States signed two agreements in the 1980s about the transfer of convicts and Moussaoui's mother Aisha el Wafi and his lawyer have asked that the Frenchman be allowed to serve his sentence in his home country.

Who would trust Jacques Chirac, Dominique de Villepin and the rest of those terrorist butt kissers to make sure this scumsucking vermin's sentence is carried out? Moussaoui could live long enough to see France surrender, once again, and the new Islamic rulers would free him.

Let's send him to Gitmo where he can be made to wear Ted Kennedy's underwear on his head and force fed a diet of chicharrones and pigs feet.

Dean's Gay Scapegoat

Howie Dean has fired the his party's gay outreach adviser, Donald Hitchcock, less than a week after Hitchcock's domestic partner, Paul Yandura, accused Dean of failing to take adequate steps to defend gay rights.

"This is retaliation, plain and simple," said Yandura. "This shows what they think about domestic partners."

Does Howie strike you as a vengeful sort of guy?

According to Southern Voice, Hitchcock's dismissal came after Yandura created a stir among party activists, both gay and straight, by sending an open letter on April 20 to gay Democrats criticizing Dean and the party for not getting involved in state ballot measures seeking to ban gay marriage.

This is merely the latest problem for Dean and the DNC on gay issues. it seems Howie has a gift for pissing off just about everyone. He's got a hell of a bedside manner for a doctor.

The Singing Minister

What were the odds?

France's prime minister said Thursday that military action is not the solution to the international standoff over Iran's nuclear program.

French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said the war in Iraq should serve as a warning against attacking Iran.

"My conviction is that military action is not the solution," Villepin said.

He's right, it never has worked out well for the Frenchies. That's ok, Dominique, inique, inique. Keep singing songs of surrender. It's music to the Muslim madmen. Soon they will be using the eiffel tower for a minaret, Monsieur Dhimminique.

The US and Israel can pull the fat out of the fire for you despite your anti-Semitic attitude, but, if you'll pardon the expression, the chickens are still coming home to roost.

Most Censored Countries

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), a New York-based group that advocates press freedoms, has issued a report on the "10 Most Censored Countries."

Here they are: North Korea, Burma, Turkmenistan, Equatorial Guinea, Libya, Eritrea, Cuba, Uzbekistan, Syria, and Belarus.

A few of my favorites are there, Fidel Castro, Alyaksandr Lukashenka, Muammar Qaddafi and Bashar al-Asad.

Maybe Danny Glover can talk to his hero, Fidel, and get him to lighten up on the press. In fact, I think all the Hollywood and Washington moonbats should go and monitor these countries and correct this flagrant abuse of Freedom of the Press. Send Cindy Sheehan, Harry Belafonte, Howard Dean, Teresa Heinz, Stephen Colbert, Teddy Kennedy, Alec Baldwin and Al Sharpton. There are many others I could name but I leave it to your imagination to round out the list.

What Say You, ACLU?

On Tuesday, members of the Christian Defense Coalition and Generation Life were arrested for kneeling in front of the White House to pray for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong in China, and to show solidarity for Dr. Wenyi Wang who faces six months of prison for interrupting Chinese communist leader Hu's speech at the White House.

Where is the ACLU? Where is Amnesty International? Oh, wait this is all about offending a Communist dictator. Well, that's different, no freedom of speech for that liberty loving Dr. Wang and those pesky Christians.

• Chagas disease, also called American trypanosomiasis or "kissing bug disease," is transmitted by the reduviid bug, which prefers to bite the lips and face. The protozoan parasite that it carries, Trypanosoma cruzi, infects 18 million people annually in Latin America and causes 50,000 deaths. The disease also infiltrates America's blood supply. Chagas affects blood transfusions and transplanted organs. No cure exists. Hundreds of blood recipients may be silently infected.
• Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, was so rare in America that in 40 years only 900 people were afflicted. Suddenly, in the past three years America has more than 7,000 cases of leprosy. Leprosy now is endemic to northeastern states because illegal aliens and other immigrants brought leprosy from India, Brazil, the Caribbean and Mexico.
• Dengue fever is exceptionally rare in America, though common in Ecuador, Peru, Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Mexico. Recently, according to the report, there was a virulent outbreak of dengue fever in Webb County, Texas, which borders Mexico. Though dengue is usually not a fatal disease, dengue hemorrhagic fever routinely kills.
• Polio was eradicated from America, but now reappears in illegal immigrants as do intestinal parasites, says the report.
• Malaria was obliterated, but now is re-emerging in Texas.
• TB,a disease that had largely disappeared from America, thanks to excellent hygiene and powerful modern drugs such as isoniazid and rifampin. TB's swift, deadly return now is lethal for about 60 percent of those infected because of new Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis. Until recently MDR-TB was endemic to Mexico. This Mycobacterium tuberculosis is resistant to at least two major anti-tubercular drugs. Ordinary TB usually is cured in six months with four drugs that cost about $2,000. MDR-TB takes 24 months with many expensive drugs that cost around $250,000 with toxic side effects. Each illegal with MDR-TB coughs and infects 10 to 30 people, who will not show symptoms immediately. Latent disease explodes later. 66 percent of all TB cases coming to America originate in Mexico, the Philippines and Vietnam.

These are just some of gifts brought to us by those foreign flag wavers you've been seeing on the streets of our major cities. Health screening? We don't need no stinking health screening.
