Illegal immigration

Hi
Today I will state my views on the illegal immigration problem which we are facing. During the 2008 election cycle I heard neither major party candidate mention the issue, but it does exist. The reason there was no discussion of the problem is that both candidates have the same solution, why bother debating an issue upon which both agree. The rub is that the American people do not agree The vast majority of Americans believe in a stronger border, control of illegal immigration and above all else, no amnesty. Neither candidate seems to feel this way. The problem is that there seems to be no mention or discussion of the solution but the same old tired way of handling the problem, Amnesty, let the problem cool off for a while and then complain and recycle the supposed solution. By doing it this way the parties can"buy" votes with favors which the American people do not want. How about some person stepping up to the plate and facing the problem head on? There is a void and this is where the conservatives should hammer away at the issue. Conservatives should speak with one voce, if elected we will fix the problem, and even more important, if elected the conservatives should fix the problem. Show leadership. The American people will reward you. Ronald Reagan did and he got reelected by a land slide. Remember the anger the American people showed when the so called Latino civil rights advocates organized a pro amnesty march. They flew the Mexican flag higher than the American flag, were the American people really ticked off. Let's recapture this ground swelling and turn it to use for the conservative movement.

The anger got so strong that it actually spawned a joke, " Calling illegal immigrants as undocumented is the same as calling drug dealers unlicensed pharmacists." The first step in creating a grass roots movement is to get the people interested in the issue, well this joke got many of my friends interested. We need to keep up the intensity, make it an issue in our primaries and carry it forward. Show some spine. We have sat on the side lines too long.

Potential candidates should start now to carry this message to the people , mention it in speeches, tell friends, discuss it on talk shows and remind the public that the illegals are coming here and robbing the American people of those rights which we have earned.

Some say that the Catholic Church should not harbor these people, well here I have a suggestion which would alleviate the argument. The church should feed, clothe and help these illegals, they are children of God. But the church should not harbor them and should stress to these illegals that they are stealing and should immediately stop.

In a previous blogs I have discussed a method of fixing the immigration problem, I refer you to this blog. My system is not the only solution but it is a workable one which would cure the problem. There is no question that we must do something, and that which party or movement does act, the American people will stand behind you. Come on guys and gals, get moving.

Stay tuned, more to come.

Please remember our brave service people in your prayers.
GOD Bless.
