As both political parties pander to the illegal felon community, I am upset. I ask myself why they are more interested in what people who do not have any actual say in our communities think over the opinions of the citizens. From their ill-advised marches with Mexican flags to their outright lobbying to Congress, I wonder why they even have a voice at all. Why do we kowtow to foreigners? They don’t elect our representatives . We do, and somehow for some reason we no longer count.
If you and I commit a crime, they take our rights away. Our elected leaders are practically tripping all over themselves in a rush to give rights to people who committed a crime. They will say it’s not fair to hurt the children, but “I didn’t build that”. I didn’t force them to come here. Besides that, we don’t seem worried at all when one of us, particularly if he’s white, is incarcerated for life for a crime. What about his innocent children? Why should they suffer? They suffer because they are citizens, and the politicians don’t need to buy their votes anymore. As Mark Levin said back in 2008, some would give out methadone and contraceptives in goody bags to buy votes, and they do.
Proponents of amnesty focus our attention on imagined virtues in illegals while ignoring the evils they have done by flagrantly violating our laws. They rationalize the illegal felons from foreign lands by channeling virtues of the Founding Fathers and comparing these new arrivals to our forefathers. At the same time, you can read them elsewhere roast the Founding Fathers as white men who stole land and resources from the natives who were living here. Either the Founding Fathers were virtuous or they are not, and if they are, they were virtuous because they believed in the civil society and rule of law. Even if the trades made between pilgrims and Iroquois nation were unfair, they were considered just and fair exchanges by those who transacted them at the time, and all claims and counterclaims were settled by men of that time, no matter how much buyer’s remorse their posterity may harbor.
Too many elected officials see virtues in the immigrant while they see only evils in the citizens. It is as if the citizen is beholden to the immigrant, irrespective of his national origin or attitude towards the rule of law. They are considered essential while citizens already extant are considered impediments to progress and progressivism. Meanwhile, we are the ones who pay the lion’s share of improvements to infrastructure, social welfare, and research and development while the illegal aliens are “doing jobs Americans won’t do” like haul trash, manicure lawns, and sit outside Home Depot drinking Tecate. Many of these have already committed crimes, but we can’t say that because it’s “racial profiling” while it’s perfectly acceptable to baste the “Great White Male” for screwing the natives out of their lands and goods. It’s only ok to pillage if you’re not white. We are somehow still the Barbarian Hordes.
Both the politicians and the people they propose to exalt exhibit a blatant disregard for the rule of law. The Declaration of Independence reflects that governments are created by the people to serve and protect them. It is a statesman’s responsibility to serve first and foremost those who band together to form a government. They are those who elect him, and they are the ones to whom he is accountable for the execution of his rights, powers, and responsibilities. Efforts to curry favor with people who are not yet citizens at the expense of those who already are constitutes nothing less than gross dereliction of duty if not blatant defiance of a political oath of office. Citizens are those who consent to be governed and for whom the government exists. Consequently, I am the advocate of those already citizens over those who may one day hope to be, and especially over the concerns of those who wish to reap the benefits of citizenship without paying the price or respecting the rules of the civil society from which they wish to benefit. Citizenship means to throw off allegiance to their former nation and society, and the aliens who live near me have shown anything but an eagerness to celebrate what is good in America. My next door neighbor glares at me when I raise my flag on federal holidays and he speaks Spanish right in front of me. If I spoke English in Europe, even though they are also white, they would think that was rude.
The system has been turned on its head so that immigration no longer aids the establishment of a nation. Once the rules were obligated to bias citizenship to those who are most likely to be absorbed into and contribute to the society as presently constituted. Instead, they are interested in “fundamental transformation” when there are already nations elsewhere to which they could migrate if they really believe that such a society is superior. This is the attitude of conquerors who intended to erase other cultures and imprint their own on every land over which they could take the reigns of power from the people who lived there. Chain migration is a system that hurts the prospects of a civil society. Rather than prioritizing immigration based on skills, it prioritized based on who they knew. It is the ultimate GOBNet, in which immigrants choose who come, and the immigrants become poorer, less educated, less skilled, and less successful than those who preceded them.
Politicians in favor of “immigration reform” have shown a hatred toward the citizen and deference towards criminals, miscreants and malcontents. They adopt a duplicitous stance in which the citizen is minimized and the illegal alien is noble. That’s not always been the case. Once they thought the Native Americans were noble, but now that the indigenous population is white, we are still the villains. No matter what, it’s the white man’s fault. If Liberals think unrestricted immigration is so wonderful, why do they denigrate the white influx to native American lands? Immigration reform is racism against whites. The illegal alien today is noble, but when we came here, it was the natives who were noble. This is an unprincipled position, and I reject it.
What we share far exceeds the ways in which we differ. We are Americans. We came here for opportunity, for advancement, for peace, for FREEDOM. I worked for UPS for a while, and the Union Steward on my belt once complained about a form they asked us to complete. He asked why he had to mark down that he was African American. Why couldn’t he be an American? I have always respected people who actually do see people for the content of their character, and I wish to know what there has been among the conduct of illegal felons from foreign lands to justify those hopes with which legislators are pleased to console themselves and this house. They need to come forth and show a true spirit of freedom, a mark of maturity, and an inclination to improve. That is not accomplished by amnesty; it is accomplished only through repentance, by making it right. Make it right. That is your obligation in Congress and to the children you dragged over here as anchors. Send them the right message, and then someday they will come here and make America better.
