Mexico On Path To Becoming Bigger Security Threat Than Iraq
MEXICO CITY - Indiscriminate kidnappings. Nearly daily beheadings. Gangs that mock and kill government agents.
This isn't Iraq or Pakistan. It's Mexico, which the U.S. government and a growing number of experts say is becoming one of the world's biggest security risks.
The prospect that America's southern neighbor could melt into lawlessness provides an unexpected challenge to Barack Obama's new government. In its latest report anticipating possible global security risks, the U.S. Joint Forces Command lumps Mexico and Pakistan together as being at risk of a "rapid and sudden collapse."
"The Mexican possibility may seem less likely, but the government, its politicians, police and judicial infrastructure are all under sustained assault and pressure by criminal gangs and drug cartels," the command said in the report published Nov. 25.
"How that internal conflict turns out over the next several years will have a major impact on the stability of the Mexican state."
Retiring CIA chief Michael Hayden told reporters on Friday that that Mexico could rank alongside Iran as a challenge for Obama _ perhaps a greater problem than Iraq.
The U.S. Justice Department said last month that Mexican gangs are the "biggest organized crime threat to the United States." National security adviser Stephen Hadley said last week that the worsening violence threatens Mexico's very democracy.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff recently told The New York Times he ordered additional border security plans to be drawn up this summer as kidnappings and killings spilled into the U.S.

Immigration by the Numbers
After much serious thought, I realize that building a fence may be a bad idea after all. If you consider the cost in terms of money and the threat that it may actually impose on us as citizens, the impossible has happened with me personally on this issue. I no longer support building a fence. But please continue to read this lens, for there are many truths contained...
The only way to stop illegal immigration is to:
1) Enforce hiring laws on the books now,
2) Stop legislation planned to make it easier for businesses to hire illegals,
3) Enforce current laws that govern who can become a legal resident,
4) Stop subsidizing farmers and begin to spend money at market-value for produce, and,
5) Ship out as many illegals currently here.
A "wall" of razors won't stop big business from shipping in cheap labor on the NAFTA Superhighway.

I don't much care where you come from. What your religion is. Whether you're black, white, or some other color...male or female......Democrat, Republican or Independent....... But I do care when you are a United States Senator representing Citizens of America and Vote against English as the official language of the United States
Your vote reflects Betrayal.
Political Surrender. Violates Your Pledge of Allegiance. Dishonors historical principle. Rejects Patriotism. Borders on traitorous action and, in my opinion, makes you unfit to serve as a United States Senator, .......Impeachment.......Recall........Or other appropriate action is warranted or worse.
Two of you voting against English as America 's Official Language are Presidential Candidates: Senator Clinton and Senator Obama.
Two Senators vying to lead America , but won't or don't have the courage to cast a vote in favor of 'English' as America 's Official Language when 91% of American Citizens want English officially designated as our language.
This is the second time in the last several months this list of Senators have disgraced themselves as 'Political Hacks'........Unworthy as Senators and certainly unqualified to serve as President of the United States .
If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a backlash so stunning it will literally 'rock you ... And preferably totally out of the United States Senate.
The entire immigration bill is a farce... Your action only confirms this really isn't about America ...it is about self-serving politics...despicable at best. It has been said:

The Closing of the American Border: Terrorism, Immigration, and Security Since 9/11
by Edward Alden
The Closing of the American Border is based on extensive interviews with the Bush administration officials charged with securing the border after 9/11, including former secretary of homeland security Tom Ridge and former secretary of state Colin Powell, and with many of the innocent people whose lives have been upended by the new border security and visa rules. A pediatric heart surgeon from Pakistan is stuck in Karachi for nearly a year, awaiting the security review that would allow him to return to the United States to take up a prestigious post at UCLA Medical Center. A brilliant Sudanese scientist, working tirelessly to cure one of the worst diseases of the developing world, loses years of valuable research when he is detained in Brazil after attending an academic conference on behalf of an American university.
Edward Alden goes behind the scenes to show how an administration that appeared united in the aftermath of the attacks was racked by internal disagreements over how to balance security and openness. The result is a striking and compelling assessment of the dangers faced by a nation that cuts itself off from the rest of the world, making it increasingly difficult for others to travel, live, and work here, and depriving itself of its most persuasive argument against its international critics-the example of what it has achieved at home.

Mexico is Launching an Ad Campaign Across USA Supporting Illegal Immigration
Angry at the fact that grassroots Americans have been able to stop the pro-illegal immigration lobby from giving amnesty to illegals in the U.S., the Mexican government is doing something unheard of:
Mexico is launching a "public relations" advertising campaign -- across the United States of America -- to "change American opinions" on illegal immigration!
You read that right -- according to news reports from both MSNBC and the Spanish-language network "Telemundo", Mexican President Felipe Calderon has announced "that the [Mexican] government would finance a public relations campaign aimed at reversing Americans' negative perceptions" of illegal immigrants and illegal immigration.
Reports say that Mexico "would budget an undisclosed amount for a campaign inside the United States to 'win the battle of public opinion' by highlighting inspirational 'success stories' of Mexican immigrants who had prospered in American society."
So this is their latest tactic -- to spend millions of dollars in an advertising campaign across America to convince you and I that illegal immigration is "OK" and we just need to stop "discriminating" against illegals -- just give them Amnesty and "move on."
FORGET IT! We are NOT going to take this lying down -- we are going to FIGHT BACK with our OWN nationwide ad campaign demanding secure borders and enforcement of laws AGAINST illegal immigration!
BUT we need YOUR help to do it!
TAKE ACTION: Why is the Mexican government so dead-set on having wide-open borders into the United States, and having America give amnesty to all of the illegals here?
The news report makes it clear -- MONEY:
The government estimates that there are 11 million Mexicans in the United States, about 6 million of them illegally. It calculates that they sent back to Mexico more than $23 billion in remittances to help support their families last year.
"Remittances from the United States are a major source of income for our country, at present the second largest after oil exports," said Maria Rosa Marquez Cabrera, the secretary of rural development.
Now do you get it? OUR money is being pumped into MEXICO by ILLEGAL ALIENS, so they want to make sure those illegals get to stay -- and now they're ready to run ads across America to see to it that we give them ALL amnesty!
NO, NO, NO! With your help, RightMarch.com is going to EXPOSE this plan all across the country by telling the TRUTH about what the Mexican government is trying to do!
We're already creating and booking ad space for radio ads and newspaper ads that we'll be running nationally, to be seen and heard by millions of Americans. No, we don't have the millions of dollars that the Mexican government has -- but we're counting on the heart and soul of the American people to STOP them!
Please help us to get these ads out across America, IMMEDIATELY -- before Mexico can assault our sovereignty even more:
Patriotism In Action
Sincerely,
William Greene, President
RightMarch.com
P.S. Mexican President Felipe Calderon said that this nationwide PR campaign will "help the U.S. public recognize 'the irreplaceable contribution of Mexicans to the United States, to its economy and its society.'" I think we realize what they're contributing -- cheap labor that takes American jobs, and exporting our money to prop up the corrupt Mexican government!
Be sure to send this Alert to EVERYONE you know who wants to help FIGHT BACK against this outrageous Mexican ad campaign supporting illegal immigration! Thank you!

The New North American Union, Amero, National Security
Please Wake Up America- Coming Soon To Your Country
August Review
One definition of treason is subversion. President Bush's illegal activities in forming this North American Union subverts the US Constitution and he should be tried and found guilty of treason. We are a government that is made up "of the people" so why are we so careless with the gift of freedom that our forefathers passed on to us and allowed these elitists to rob of us our nation? Except for the few months prior to election, those who have been overpaid and lived off the fat of our labor (elected officials) have failed to represent us or they would have brought this to a screeching halt long ago. American's and Canadians need to use the means available to us to put an end to this. Presently Americans still have the backing of the Constitution. We need to use it in holding Bush and our elected officials accountable before it is nothing more than a quaint historical document.

Congress Eliminates Border Enforcement Funding!
We have one chance left to secure much needed enforcement funding but we must ACT NOW!The American people made it clear they didn't want amnesty, they wanted enforcement. But Congress didn't listen.
After the failed amnesty attempt earlier this year, Congress promised to focus on enforcing our borders and existing laws. Yet, last week, Congress stripped a $3 billion enforcement provision from the Department of Defense Authorization bill and rushed its passage, leaving the American public no opportunity to weigh in.
"What happened with this legislation is exactly why Americans don't have confidence in the U.S. Congress."
- Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.)
We have one last opportunity to hold their feet to the fire and secure the border enforcement funding this country needs. This funding is the only meaningful attempt Congress has made to fix our nation's broken immigration strategy this year.
"This is a big deal, it was the only good thing Congress had done on immigration this year."
-Julie Kirchner, FAIR Executive Director
The $3 billion enforcement provision which provides much needed funding to build the fence, increase border patrol agents and keep 6,000 National Guard troops on the border until late 2008, is also included in the Department of Homeland Security authorization bill - a bill President Bush promises to veto.
Help FAIR tell Congress and the President, after years of promoting amnesty and massive new guest worker programs while doing little or nothing to enforce existing immigration laws and secure our borders, the American public wants to see results.
FAIR is already working to ensure Congress does not strip this provision for a second time and President Bush doesn't get his way. But we need your help.
PLEASE SUPPORT FAIR NOW and continue to contact your elected representatives to let them know where you stand on this important issue.

North American Union driver's license created!
Logo intended to standardize documentation across continent

The first "North American Union" driver's license, complete with a hologram of the continent on the reverse, has been created in North Carolina."The North Carolina driver's license is 'North American Union' ready," charges William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration.
Gheen provided WND with a photo of an actual North Carolina license which clearly shows the hologram of the North American continent embedded on the reverse.
"The hologram looks exactly [like] the map of North America that is used as the background for the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America logo on the SPP website," Gheen told WND. "I object to the loss of sovereignty that is proceeding under the agreements being made by these unelected government bureaucrats who think we should be North American instead of the United States of America.
Security and Prosperity Partnership logo
"To protest, I don't plan on applying for a North Carolina driver's license," Gheen told WND, "even though I am a resident of the state. I don't see how a Division of Motor Vehicles authorized in a Department of Transportation of a state of the United States can force me to have a license that is designed with a North American Union insignia printed on the backside.
"My decision not to get a North Carolina driver's license could have very difficult consequences for me," Gheen told WND. "Without a valid driver's license, I may not be able to drive a car, fly on an airplane, or enter a government building."
Gheen told WND he does not have a U.S. passport

The Late Great USA
by Jerome R. Corsi
Book DescriptionIn the New York Times bestseller The Late Great USA: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada, Jerome Corsi proves that the benignly-named "Security and Prosperity Partnership," created at a meeting between George W. Bush, Stephen Harper and Vincente Fox, is in fact the same kind of regional integration plan that led Europe to form the EU. According to Corsi, the elites in Europe who wanted to create a European nation knew that "it would be necessary to conceal from the peoples of Europe just what was being done in their name until the process was so far advanced that it had become irreversible." Could the same thing be happening here? Is American sovereignty doomed?
Using dozens of documents secured through the Freedom of Information Act and his trademark hard-hitting interviews, Jerome Corsi sets out a chilling view of America's possible "harmonized" future -- one being created covertly, without voter input or Congressional oversight. Could our government's unfathomable position on illegal immigration be tied to the prospect of an integrated North American Union?
From the Publisher
Jerome Corsi received his Ph.D in political science from Harvard and is an expert on political violence and the U.S. anti-war movement. He's written many books, including co-authoring the #1 New York Times best-seller Unfit for Command. His most recent book is Minutemen: The Battle to Secure America's Borders.

Sessions: Senate Vote on Immigration a Victory for the American People
WASHINGTON-U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) made the following comments today after the U.S. Senate voted 46 - 53 not to invoke cloture on the immigration bill:"Today's crushing defeat of the flawed immigration bill is a victory for the American people.
"The Congressional Budget Office found that this legislation would have allowed 8.7 million more illegal aliens in the United States over the next twenty years. We would be squandering a historic opportunity to reform our immigration system if we accepted policies that reduced illegality by only 13 percent. We can and must do better.
"As the public learned more about this immigration legislation, it became clear that the bill did not meet their expectations. The American people overwhelmingly rejected it. Senators heard the voices of their constituents and voted accordingly.
"The vote was also a rejection of the heavy handed procedure employed by the supporters of the legislation. It was not a fair process. I have not seen a more carefully scripted attempt to limit amendments and stifle debate in order to move a piece of legislation through the Senate as was witnessed in this case. Senators saw it for what it was and objected.
"Our nation's immigration system is broken. I believe that any process to fix that system must start with a real commitment to securing our borders and enforcing our laws. I am pleased to work with President Bush as we move forward with a renewed focus on making our borders secure. It would be an enduring legacy for him if he were to be the first President in nearly 40 years to truly secure our nation's borders."
Senator Sessions

- Great topic and info. It is insane to have open borders. Down here by the border we've been complaining for years about it. I used to live near a mosque where one of the 911 terrorists attended services. Any terrorist can pretend to be an immigrant, hop over the border and cause a lot of destruction. Having open borders is like leaving the doors open to your own home-it's crazy.

- I love it. You understand the two things that are going to bring this country to its knees faster than anything else: Illegal Crimmigration and the Cult of Global Warming. If you weren't married, I'd ask. (LOL)

- Breaking the law is not acceptable behavior and illegally entering this country should be no exception. Yes build the fence but lots not forget unless you are an American Indian we are at least all descendants of immigrants. We do therefore also need a fair system for good people to be able to enter this country legally an apply for citizenship.

- What don't people understand about "illegal?" Look at the charts of financial and infrastructure strains on the economy- and the projection for future taxation! Look at qualified professionals in other countries waiting 7 years for legal immigration and still on hold. Look at the profile of crimes and criminals in Southern California. Look at ANY of the facts, and how can you dispute a proper national BORDER and controlled immigration? Find someone hurting? Treat them and send them home. Don't cut social security to life-long working Americans to start supporting illegals and educate their children. Robbing hard-working Americans is NOT the solution for world poverty! I give more of myself and my income to help others than most Americans, but FACTS are FACTS, and REALITY is REALITY. This is the USA. If you want to live here, come in legally, work, learn the language, respect the flag and laws. If I move to France, I'll learn French!

- I am reminded of the two other places that big fences were built:
The Warsaw Ghetto in WWII
and
The Berlin Wall
Yep, we really need to join in with the likes of the Communists and the Nazis.

- I agree that we need to build the fence, and I find it amazing that those of us who want to secure our boarders are concidered RACIST! The truth is that exploiting the misfortunes of these folks is the greatest example of racism I can think of.
