They won't fix it in Washington – Commentary by Jim Dean
Webmaster's Note: This commentary is a response to Stephen Dinan's Washington Times article on local efforts to address
the illegal immigration invasion: Efforts against illegals broaden.
Arizona's Proposition 200 forces those registering to vote to prove their citizenship,
those showing up to vote to provide identification, and denies some state benefits to illegal aliens. It passed with
56 percent of the vote, despite opposition from the majority of the state's congressional delegation, many state
officials and a host of immigrant advocacy groups...
Dear Americans, what this article
does not say is that fifty percent (50%) of the
legal Hispanics in Arizona voted for Proposition 200. Why is that blacked out of the media outside the Arizona
area? Simple. It throws a tsunami on the ever-burning phony racism charges with which the open borders advocates
routinely lynch their anti-illegal-immigration adversaries.
The Congressional delegations ignoring the public concern for illegal
immigration is a glaring example of our systemic problem in Washington. The fix is in there, and the parties have
enough control of the issue to insulate themselves from public pressure. If they vote their Congresscritter out,
whoever replaces them must run the gauntlet of the illegal immigration terror squad. And they are a nasty bunch.
I contend that it's time to put Georgia in play on our own Proposition
200. A bill would give us the platform and the news focus to educate the public about the charade that is going on
in Washington, and how both parties are selling the country down the river for what they believe will enhance their
party's power. In the post 9-11 era in which we live, the refusal to fix our corrupt immigration fiasco is its
own 9-11...one that happens a little slower, less spectacularly, but produces more victims each year than 9-11
did. When they say they are concerned with our safety, just review their immigration voting record to determine
whether they are lying.
When our security is up against their power in Washington, we are on very
thin ice. Their record is of no more concern than you would expect from an occupational regime after a lost war,
which is a sad note on the state of the Republic. Mr. Bush has put his electoral 'mandate' on a stick and he aims to place it
somewhere. Don't go out alone.
