Every since the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) (the Reagan amnesty bill) Congress has been lying to the American people. Under IRCA the border was going to be secured, benefits to illegal aliens would be cut off, it was made illegal for people to employ illegals, the immigration laws were actually going to be enforced and on and on. The problem had been going on for much longer than 1986. The Supreme Court noted in 1982 that the country had been plagued by a “…failure of enforcement of the immigration laws over more than a decade…”

The 1986 amnesty was handed out not because these law breakers deserved it but to prove we are a compassionate peoples or so we were told. I was surprised our compassion was in question in the first place.

Of course under IRCA the border security was going to be in the future, and the laws cutting off benefits were loaded with loop holes and those laws that had not been enforced for the prior twelve years were not enforced nor was the other immigration laws really enforced including that on prohibiting the hiring of illegal aliens.

The “first last and only amnesty ” turned into six more amnesty bills through 2007.

Now over forty (40) years later we are hearing the same lies and largely from the same GOP / Demo elitist / globalist.
Of course there are some new faces such as the crown prince of the elitist GOP leadership, Marco Rubio. We are suppose to love this young, dynamic, Hispanic whose primary purpose is to lead “We the Grassroots” GOPers to the Moderate side and to promote another “scamnesty” immigration bill.

Let’s look at what Rubio has said he supports and what he and the “gang of eight” (GOE) are actually promoting.

1. Rubio says he is against amnesty and the GOE is not amnesty.

The GOE bill promotes immediate amnesty , it’s called “Registered Provisional Immigrant” (RPI).

(The use of the term “Immigrant” is a psychological ploy to give these alien lawbreakers an air of legitimacy in the mind of Americans. Recall we started out with “illegal aliens”, then “illegal immigrants” then “undocumented aliens” then undocumented immigrants or workers” and then “undocumented Americans” (by Harry Reid). It’s like the game played with global cooling” that turned into “global warming” to “climate change” to “climate reality”. Let’s call them what they are “”Registered Provisional Illegal / Unlawful Aliens”. If Congress will not be honest about what these folks are how can we trust them to be honest about anything else?)

2. Rubio says he is against giving illegal aliens any federal benefits. (see endnote iii)

The GOE bill allows illegal aliens to get state and local welfare benefits and there are enormous loopholes which allow illegal aliens and their families to get federal welfare benefits. (see endnote iv)

3. Rubio is against letting criminal aliens and gangsters stay in the country. (see endnote iii)

The GOE allows criminal aliens and cartel gangsters to remain in the U.S. by having exceptions for ” juvenile” gangsters, those that have plead down from felonies to misdemeanors, those arrested for felonies but not yet convicted and allows the Department of Homeland in-Security to waive this restriction on anyone. (see endnote iv)

4. Rubio will only support a bill that provides for border security before any accommodations to illegal aliens.

The GOE promises future border security but will give amnesty “Registered Provisional Immigrant” status within six month from the passage of the GOE bill. Of course this is just like every prior immigration bill. (see endnote iv)

5. Rubio wants the immigrations laws to be enforced. (see endnote iii)
The GOE does nothing new to ensure that the immigration laws are enforced. In fact it prohibits the application of current rules on those likely to become a “charge of the state” to get illegals out under the GOE bill. It requires the Department of Homeland in-Security to report on its own progress to change the enforcement mechanics. (see endnote iv)

6. Rubio wants illegal aliens to pay their back taxes. (see endnote iii)

The GOE is set up so that very few illegal aliens will be paying any back taxes and those that do will not be paying all their back taxes. This is accomplished largely through definitional finagling. (see endnote iv)
The bottom line is that Congress (our governments) has been violating their oath of office on immigration for going on a half century and worse lying to us. It has been both Demos and the GOP. They have violated their primary duty to secure our rights .

Their violations have costs us billions of dollars and over a hundred thousand lives of our fellow citizens and permanent resident aliens. They have blamed us for their failings and have called us “racists” and “bigots” because we dared question their plan to dilute our citizenship and balkanize our Republic.

We must not allow them to tell us the same lies once again. It is time to show some righteous indignation and some supervisory initiative. We need to convince them by whatever (legal) means necessary that they will pay a political price if they do anything but pass a border security only bill. We can talk about the rest of the immigration issue once we see how that pans out in a couple of years.

The next time one of our Congressmen say that our immigration system is broken yell back “No that is a lie! Our politicians are corrupt!”

Friday Forbes ran an excellent OP/ED calling to task Sen. Lindsey Graham for calling for the declaration of the “Boston Marathon Suspect” as an “enemy combatant” and thereby nullifying his constitutional rights. Yes it’s the application of the “law of war” to a U.S. citizen within the U.S. as contemplated by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012.

One of our most fundamental principles in this Republic is that of one being “innocent until proven guilty” and another is affording one fundamental unalienable rights to ensure they are not denied Life, Liberty or Property without due process of law. Sen. Graham’s proposed principle is that of “hang them and then give them a fair trial”.

The Forbes article did not mention that the NDAA 2012 has been found unconstitutional by a federal District Court.

The damage to the Republic done by the cowardly Boston Bombing is nowhere close to the danger that Sen. Graham’s heretical proposals and actions pose for the Republic. In essence the NDAA Act calls for the selective application of martial law to citizens at the discretion of the Executive Branch. This is an action only possible by converging the legislative , judicial and executive power of the government on one person, the President. Of this James Madison said:

” The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

The next step has already been declared available. Under the New Republic being established by the globalist Grahamites the Executive has the authority to call for the targeted killing of the “Boston Marathon Suspect”. The Executive did not do this but only because it chose not to do it. The timing simply was not right. Under Graham’s Brave New Republic “We the People” must rely upon the Government’s noblesse oblige not to abuse us rather than the rule of law.

Germany had its “Leader” #Der Führer# and now it appears we will have our Der Ausübend #Executive#.

Senator Lindsey Graham is an apostate of fundamental American principles and one of the most dangerous persons to our Liberty. He and his Gang of Apostates, Senators John McCain, Carl Levin, Kelly Ayotte should be politically sequestered and dealt with for their violations of their oath to protect the Constitution before their cancer spreads further. In the words of Chief Justice John Marshal they have committed “treason to the constitution. ”

Lindsey Graham and his gang are enemies of the Republic.

More Lies on Amnesty Part 2

Last night on Face the Nation Sen. Lindsey Graham said the AFL-CIO and Chamber of Commerce cut a deal which will pave the way for “immigration reform”. There was no discussion about what the people want. It is socialists and fascist that are driving the agreement.

Key Provisions

The key provisions of this latest scamnesty bill is simply a rehash of the 2007 Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, which was also pushed by Graham, that America overwhelmingly rejected. A “path way to citizenship”, pay a fine, pay back taxes, learn English, go to the back of the line etc.

This is of course amnesty no matter how you cut it. Any of these illegals that have been living here any time at all have committed felonies in the form of perjury, use of fraudulent identification, tax evasion, or miss reporting income and welfare fraud. It is once again making a mockery of our laws and treating honest Americans as second class citizens.

Gov. Bill Richardson, one of the panelist, was quick to pipe up that he is a Hispanic and we need to be sure not to make any of this too onerous on the illegals nor should it take too long.

Cost of Illegal Immigration

Amnesty will increase illegal alien invasion of the U.S. as it has in the past. In 1986 we had 3.2 million illegals now we have 20-30 million.

Also the level of legal immigration will go up dramatically through chain migration as instituted by Teddy Kennedy and the Progressives. It was estimated that had the 2007 Amnesty Act passed that within a decade we could have had an additional 80 million immigrates through chain immigration. That would be almost 25% of the population.

The Progressives and GOP elitists like McCain and Graham divorced immigration from the national interest and based it on principles of “social justice” and social engineering. The plan is to overwhelm America economically and to dilute it culture.

It has also cost 100,000 citizens their lives at the hands of illegal aliens in this country since September 11, 2001.

Immigration and the Budget

It was interesting that Graham noted a linkage between immigration and the budget. The GOP elitist and the Progressive will try to make the American people [conservatives] believe that they had to give something up on immigration to get something on the budget. In reality they will both get exactly what they wanted in the first place.

The bottom line is that no quid pro quo between the budget and immigration is acceptable.

Baiting Fiscal Conservatives

The globalist gang is playing to the weak spot among the conservative coalition. That spot is those in the hardcore fiscal conservative camp who put fiscal matters above all else even Liberty and the Constitution.

We constitutional conservatives understand that taxing and spending is but a symptom. The root problem is that our elected officials no longer listen to us and don’t follow the Constitution. Following the founding principles will necessarily led to a limited and fiscally responsible government. The reverse is not true.

Many have been programmed to believe that a consumption tax (FAIR Tax) or a flat tax will solve all our problems, this is nonsense. NAZI Germany, Mao’s China, communist Russia all could have been operated on a consumption or flat tax. Such does not prevent deficit spending or limit the power of the government to borrow or print money.

Balance Budget and the Con Con

This is the same mistake those that grasp at the balanced budget amendment. Forty Nine states have balanced budget requirements and most of them are broke. Kansas is billions in the red in “off budget” liabilities. But fiscal conservatives willingly take this bait as well. This is the basis for the majority of the promotions behind a very dangerous Constitutional Convention.

The only reason this ploy was not used in the recent attempt by Secretary Kobach, Representatives Brett Hildabrand, Lance Kinzer, Keith Esau and Senator Mary Cook to request a federal Constitutional Convention is that Kansas already has a request for a balance budget federal constitutional amendment dated from the 1970s.

Adherence to the Constitution

There is no quick or easy fix to our problems and our problems are not fiscal they are political. Our public servants now work for the special interests that feed them including the corrupt political parties.

Recall the recent date rape and beating the GOP elitists gave the grass roots in Tampa followed by the vengeful attack by Speaker Boehner against Congressmen Tim Huelskamp (Kansas) and Justin Amash (Michigan), Walter Jones (North Carolina) and David Schweikert (Arizona). Their common sin was they all resisted the citizen detention provisions of the NDAA and they are all fiscal hawks

The GOP is planning another assault on the grass roots (conservatives) in its upcoming summer meeting. Watch the state and local GOP stand by and watch.

If we re-establish the Constitution that would necessarily mean an end to federal involvement in education, housing, business regulation, stealing of our private property ending the private banking cartel known as the Federal Reserve System just to name a few.

Conclusion

We the People need to develop the testicular mass and ossification of our spines to make these politicians listen. It will not be easy nor will it be pleasant and likely it will be loud but it is the only way. They must be brought to heel or all is lost and we will be monkeys on their golden chains.

More Lies on Amnesty 

I just watched Senators John McCain and Charles Schumer on Face the Nation. The host said it was a historical event to have the two Senators on at the same time and on the same side of the table.
The Host noted they were part of the bipartisan effort working on immigration reform (pushing “comprehensive immigration”#. This is like saying that Benedict Arnold and the British were part of a bipartisan effort to end the war in defense of our independence against England.

McCain has been a supporter of open borders and open immigration since before the great amnesty of 1986. The 1986 amnesty was promised to be the first and last blanket amnesty. Immigration law was to be toughened and enforced. It was toughened but was not enforced. This was the first lie told to the American people on amnesty.

From 1986 until 2000 there were six more amnesties. Since 2000 there have been numerous amnesties including “administrative” amnesties. This was the second series of lies told to the American people.
Sense 1986 we can hardly count the number of lies the Congress #GOPs and Democrats# have told the American people about immigration. There was the promises to secure the border. Recall the promise to build a security fence followed by the passage of a bill to do so without funding and then the funding of it which was subsequently defunded. Another lie told to the America public.

I remember standing in Harry Reid’s office talking to his head assistant on immigration. Her explanation of the defunding was that Senator Reid felt the money could be better spent elsewhere. Screw the promise made to the American people.

This is a reoccurring lies and is being told yet again. This morning John McCain told this lie yet again: “first we will secure the border”. No first you need to stop lying to the American people “Traitor” John.

You would do well to note that the amnesties and the lack of enforcement of immigration laws have occurred under both Republican and Democrat administrations. Just more proof that the elitist GOP leadership and the Progressive Democrats are simply different legs on the same pair of pants.

Recall that it was John McCain, Lindsey Graham , Teddy Kennedy and George Bush #43# that tried to engineer the great American give away with the Comprehensive Immigration Act of 2007. All are globalists.

Although over 70% of Americans did not want the amnesty Congress tried to cram it down our throats not unlike they did with Obama Care. John McCain and Lindsey Graham were calling we Americans opposed to amnesty “bigots” and “racist”. The citizen of this country only narrowly defeated the 2007 amnesty act. In fact it was a temporary victory because large parts of the Act were implemented piece meal in other acts.

Nancy Pelosi told a group of largely illegal aliens that they were the true “patriots” of America.

Unfortunately for her it was caught on video.
Teddy Kennedy was largely responsible for the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 signed by President Lyndon Johnson. In retrospect this bill was part of Johnson’s Great [New] Society program. One of its key components was the establishment of “chain immigration”. Under this concept those with family members already here get preference to immigrate. In reality it was a form of social engineering that would be used to balkanize America and as a transfer of wealth mechanism.
All nations rightfully use immigration to meet their national interests. Immigration until recently was not about the immigrates but about the host country and its labor and population needs. Congresswomen Barbara Jordan, chair of the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform #1990-1997# “Jordan Commission” recognized this fundamental principle. She also recognized that if we cut of benefits and stop the job magnet we could regain control of illegal alien invasion. Of course the Progressive and elitist GOP already knew this and never had it in mind to implement.

The Progressives with the help of the GOP including those like McCain and Graham divorced immigration from the national interest and based it on principles of “social justice” and social engineering. Immigrates from less wealthy countries had a right to come here and get their “fair share”. It also helped to effectuate the Progressive /globalist belief that sovereign nations were a thing of the past i.e., borders are meaningless as is national identify.

By flooding America with immigrants without the means or ability to provide for themselves , a corner stone of all prior immigration policy, it facilitated a transfer of wealth in the form of welfare benefits to the aliens and public services including providing education and remittance by them #sending money to their home country# thereby economically straining America.

There has been more than a financial cost to allowing #facilitating# the invasion of illegal aliens in this country. Since September 11, 2001 there has been over 100,00 U.S. citizen and legal permanent residents that have been slaughter inside the U.S. by illegal aliens. That is equivalent to three 9-11 attacks per year. More U.S. citizens have dies than in all wars since the 19oos.
McCain and Graham and the rest of the gang-of-eight have blood on their hands.

Another lie that is told including by McCain this morning is that there are about 11 million illegals in this country. The Americana Legion in 2007 put the number at about 21.2 million. Now the number is closer to 30 million. That is almost 9% of our population. It was estimated that had the 2007 Act passed that through chain immigration within a decade we could have another 80 million immigrates. That is almost 25% of the population.
Yes indeed Obama and the rest of the globalist like McCain and Graham want to fundamentally transform this country and the world one illegal at a time.

Tim Huelskamp was the guest speaker at the Patriots Freedom Alliance monthly meeting on Tuesday April 2, 2013 in Hutchinson KS. His speaking was more of a pretext for the good members of the PFA to present him with an award for and to express their sincere appreciation of the Congressman’s steadfast support of conservative principles.

I was invited to the event and under orders from the Patriot Coalition’s (PC) National Director to attend. The PC has been following the Congressman since his opposition to the citizens detention provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012. He was only one of a handful who did so. The only Congressperson from Kansas to do so.

Congressman Huelskamp spoke sincerely but frankly about the situation he faces in (and we face from) Washington. I think for the most part he simply confirmed what most Kansans already know at some level. One could not help but feel his frustration and perhaps a hint of sadness.

The Executive Branch is not letting Congress know about what it is doing militarily. Imagine your Congressman having to find out from the news that the U.S. military was attacking Libya. Imagine the Executive not telling Congress if it had active military excursions into other areas of the world. Imagine its refusal to explain why it has purchased 1.6 billon rounds of operational (versus training) ammunition for homeland use over the last two years. (This is over a three hundred year supply.) Then there are the fiscal issues…very, very big fiscal issues.

As most informed patriots know Congressman Huelskamp paid a price for defending our Bill of Rights and being a fiscal hawk. He along with three other Congressmen were removed from their key committee appointments by Republican House Speaker Boehner and his henchmen. The only common factor between Huelskamp and Justin Amash (Michigan), Walter Jones (North Carolina) and David Schweikert (Arizona) was that they all have resisted the citizen detention provisions of the NDAA and they are all fiscal hawks.

Before the elitists / globalist Republican leadership started to recreate the GOP in a “moderate” image these were key principles of Republicans. Now they are key principles of conservatives but the Republicans are quickly abandoning them. The GOP’s new motto might well be reflected in Boehner’s statement “we are sent here not to be something, but to do something…” Apparently they are not sent to be “conservatives” but to comprise conservative principles.

I think the PFA and the Big One Tea Party of Hays as with most First District citizens are proud that Congressman Tim Huelskamp does stand and stand steady for something called conservative values. One could feel the admiration and pride coming from the crowd Tuesday.

Since the NDAA 2012 was passed Huelskamp and only a handful of Congressman have sought to fix these unconstitutional provisions that eviscerated over half of the bill of rights. He made our list. I was proud to present him with an certificate which read:

PATRIOT COALITION
TRUE SON OF LIBERTY
CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION

For upholding your oath of office to defend the Constitution of the United States,
for consistently voting against attacks on the Bill of Rights, for defending free-market principles and fiscal responsibility, and consistently demonstrating the admirable character traits of a true sun of liberty in the face of ongoing intolerable acts.
