No its not, it’s even worse. What this whole immigration issue is really about is funding social security in 20 or 30 years. Our beloved congress critters have been spending the social security surplus like it was crack they were smoking.

Now with the baby boomers starting to retire and the majority retiring in 20 years or so congress realizes that the bill for social security is about to come due in a major f%cking way.

The baby boomers make up some 60% to 70% of the current population; with 70% of the population retired where is the money to pay their social security going to come from? Don’t say it’s going to come from the social security fund, because congress spent that fund.

So what we have is congress attempting to pull a ponzi scheme by bringing in as many new people into they system as possible from whom they can extract social security tax money to pay the social security benefits of those about to retire.

Ditto that. Last week was just the first round of the politicians vs. the people.

Sens. Sessions, DeMint and Cornyn need to lead an effort over the next few weeks to introduce a series of specific bills. One would outlaw “sanctuary cities” and either impose a loss of federal funding, fines or jail time for municipal or county officials who knowingly flout federal immigration law.

The citizens of Farmers Branch, a densely populated Dallas suburb, last month passed by popular vote an ordinance which would have imposed penalties on landlords who rent to illegal aliens. A Dallas federal priest (oops! I mean federal judge my bad!) enjoined enforcement of the ordinance on the ground that the federal government had pre-empted issues relating to immigration law. Ha! What about the so called santuary cities? If the voters of Farmers Branch have no rights, then how can the so called sanctuary cities legally exist?

Here’s what needs to happen. Sens. Sessions, DeMint and Cornyn need to lead an effort over the next few weeks to introduce a series of specific bills. One would outlaw “sanctuary cities” and either impose a loss of federal funding, fines or jail time for municipal or county officials who knowingly flout federal immigration law. The second bill would mandate the deportation of criminal illegal aliens to their countries of origin. The third bill would mandate the construction of a fence along the border.

Hell yea!

I know, let’s have Paris do her community service on the border in sexed up uni, that’ll bring attention to the expeditionary force from the south.
Once the tons of garbaged strewn all over the “fragile” desert are on MSM that alone will get this “stolen continent” crap shut down.

We do need to resist goofing off and continue to write and Email the good guys in both the House and the Senate and “urge” them to do exactly like Bryan is saying and keep up the pressure on all of the members of Congress.

The best defense is a great offense, time to rock and roll!

Hmmm, I wonder if Hooters girls in border watch towers with binos would work?

Enforce the existing laws.

Fire the pandering poli-pimps.

(h/t ColtsFan).  Alright, here’s the plan.  We narrowly averted losing our nation last week to corporatists and elites who have neither a soul nor a country.  It appears that ……

Here’s what needs to happen. Sens. Sessions, DeMint and Cornyn need to lead an effort over the next few weeks to introduce a series of specific bills.

The second bill would mandate the deportation of criminal illegal aliens to their countries of origin. The third bill would mandate the construction of a fence along the border.

All of this is good. However, none takes away the ample amount of honey which attracts the bees. So long as the current laws are not enforced on punishment of the employers (when hiring illegals, in low and high-level jobs), not much will change.

Do you want Congress to give the immigration bill another chance?

No 64% 8303 votes

I want them to get pains in their heads whenever they just think about amnesty.

The fourth bill would require businesses to verify their workers are legal employees, the fifth bill would deny entitlement benefits to illegals, the sixth bill would require anyone seeking citizenship to get to the back of the line and meet all requirements, including speaking english. The seventh bill would make english the official language of the U.S..

Do all that and the problem takes care of itself.

We can’t absorb 12 to 20 million people and put them instantly on the public dole, especially people who are here specially because of the welfare state. It will break the backs of the middle class.

Bingo.

We need to send them home, either by attrition or by force.

We need to ban them from free medical help, except to save their live and then that requires them to be deported after the help.

We also need to ban them from schools and subsidized programs.

Remove the anchor baby rule, and require if a child is a citizen, and the parents are illegal, the child must go back until he is 18 and then can return.

Finally, place in the law a rule that if you are here illegally and caught you are banned from entrance again. I don’t care if they make a 1 month provision, in case they overstay a few days, but I do want real punishment if they just continue to stay here.

You usually hit the nail on the head, but I a little concerned about the “outlaw of sanctuary cities …” as you have proposed. Though I am in 110% agreement that Illegal Aliens are nothing more than Illegal aliens, I am concerned about yet more power concentration in DC. What happened to States Rights in this case?

National security is properly (and more importantly) constitutionally a power reserved to the federal governmnet. The states or the cities have no right to undermine national security by providing sanctuary to people who have entered the country illegally and can potentially present a national security threat.

Bryan and Darwin have the right idea. I wish I could be optimistic that such measures will be adeptly pursued.

Here’s what needs to happen. Sens. Sessions, DeMint and Cornyn need to lead an effort over the next few weeks to introduce a series of specific bills. One would outlaw “sanctuary cities” and either impose a loss of federal funding, fines or jail time for municipal or county officials who knowingly flout federal immigration law. The second bill would mandate the deportation of criminal illegal aliens to their countries of origin. The third bill would mandate the construction of a fence along the border.

Except they’ve been throwing out this line for years now;

B-b-b-b-b-but….we hafta solve the crisis all at oooooonce!

Its crap, they don’t care about enforcement or security at all. They want open borders, and for us proles to sit here and like it. Why wouldn’t they just build a fence and do some basic interior enforcement, weeding out sweatshops, gangmembers, potential terrorists, felons and people who break the law? Its basic law, and one the first things the government is supposed to do.

Not to mention the fact that no one trusts them to do the job they’ve been AWOL on for decades. Krauthammer has said for a while that the tools in DC have to earn the trust of the American people through showing that the illegal problem is going to end definitively, or an amnesty will never be accepted.

Illegal immigrants are breaking a federal law. The federal government has EVERY right to outlaw sanctuary cities. Otherwise it just becomes a local interest issue and continues to spread until it takes over the entire nation. We NEED more power concentration in the federal government on this issue. No localized government, that it is full of illegal aliens and special interest politicians, is going to have the cajones to take away the city’s sanctuary and take the immense amount of heat they will get for it.

That’s a valid concern, but the fact that the cities are dependant on so much federal funding means they have already surrendered their State’s (or in this case, local) rights. If they want to set their own foreign policy, then let them have all the autonomy they can grab. But let them give up federal subsidies as well and earn their freedom.

One would outlaw “sanctuary cities” and either impose a loss of federal funding, fines or jail time for municipal or county officials who knowingly flout federal immigration law. The second bill would mandate the deportation of criminal illegal aliens to their countries of origin. The third bill would mandate the construction of a fence along the border.

I hate to be the pessimist here, but does anyone actually believe that these bills will be passed, or for that matter enforced on the odd chance that they are? After all, aren’t all three of those things technically already on the books?

Also, I would like to point out that Salazar is the name of one of the villians from Resident Evil 4, a game in which the enemies you fight are mindless thralls being controlled by a parasite. Funny how life imitates art, eh?
