As we say, Common ground. Common sense.

The Revolt on Illegal Immigration

After the utter collapse in the Senate last week of a comprehensive immigration bill, Washington insiders are blaming everyone and everything.

Supposedly, talk-radio hysteria killed the bill. Or was it the purported racism of yokels? Or did most of us fail to appreciate the hidden benefits of open borders so clear only to those in Washington? [...]

What causes this grassroots furor, and where will it lead?

The public thinks anti-terrorism efforts are futile when hundreds of miles on our southern border are, for mysterious reasons, left wide open.

Then there is the American sense of fair play: Thousands of would-be legal immigrants wait in line from all over the world to come to this country. So why the special considerations that seem designed to address the concerns of just one group – especially when Mexico already supplies the largest number by far of our legal immigrants?

    At the end of June I received a letter from my Senator, Jon Kyl, explaining that at the end of June work would begin, once more, on a new immigration bill. He laments that we need immigration reform and that he is merely trying to make sure it isn’t as bad as it COULD be.

    But he never addressed the fact that the North American Union was hidden in there and would have been passed, if that bill had passed. This ominous plan to open the borders in a new world order is planned for 2010, by the Council on Foreign Relations, following a meeting in 2005 of Bush, the Canadian Prime Minister, and Mexico’s Fox.

    If this is a country where dialogue is important and ALL OF US have a say-so in the matter, why is this plan, which will basically end our sovereignty and life as we know it, being created and implemented without our knowledge or permission? I was informed by a Senator’s office that this thing was in that bill. I later read more about that fact, which came out after the fact. What if that bill had passed?

    Keep watching. The darn thing is coming back again!
