- Much like the Titanic that sank on April 15, 1912, the
Unites States stands at a critical juncture in the history of our nation.
Few realize it, but, like the Titanic, this nation smashed into a piece
of legislation in 1965 that was never asked for or approved by the American
public. Our 'Captain' Lyndon B. Johnson along with helmsman Senator Teddy
Kennedy drove America into an 'iceberg' of massive, unrestricted immigration
that opened up the flood gates with the 'IMMIGRATION REFORM ACT'. At first,
the flow of one million immigrants annually wasn't noticed. We were benevolent.
Our country was big. There was plenty of room and resources.
-
- However, the massive flow of humanity from that 'hit'
is still pouring into our country 38 years later and few seem to notice--much
like the party-goers and dancing on the Titanic that kept up for hours
after hitting the iceberg in the North Atlantic. However, even the invincible
Titanic could not survive the onslaught from the constant flow of incoming
water--slowly, methodically stealing its ability to stay afloat.
-
- Today in the United States, 70 million immigrants later
and pouring in at 2.3 million annually--both legal and illegal--our nation
shudders from San Francisco to New York and from Chicago to Miami. We rose
from 200 million to nearly 300 million in three decades. What was once
a benefit to our country is now a full-scale overpopulation and societal
crisis. From stem to stern, our English language is under assault and our
schools are drowning in ethnic violence, rapes, drugs and gang warfare.
In California, Texas, Florida and Arizona, our hospitals suffer bankruptcies
from non-paid services for 350,000 annual 'anchor babies'. Ten million
illegal immigrants displace jobs from America's working poor and depress
wages for many others at a cost of $133 billion annually in lost jobs.
Leprosy, tuberculosis, Chagas Disease, hepatitis and other diseases 'pour'
into our country within the bodies of illegal immigrants who avoid health
screening before coming on board the United States. Even worse, clashing
cultures with religions that celebrate 'female genital mutilation' and
subjugation of women are growing in enclaves around our country. As Lincoln
said, "A house divided against itself can not stand." On the
environmental front, our nation explodes toward an added 200 million people
that will reach billion by mid century. We are creating an 'irreversible
crisis' with 'unsolvable problems'. California is slated to add 20 million
in 30 years. Colorado will add five million by mid century. Arizona will
add four million. They already don't have enough water. Florida can not
survive another five million people. New York shudders with its population
problems. Air pollution poisons what we breathe and massive sprawl devours
our once lauded spaciousness. Species extinction accelerates as we add
numbers. Much like the Titanic, our standard of living drops and our quality
of life sinks with the influx of unrestricted immigration. Soon, we too,
will become like the countries of Bangladesh, India and China.
-
- On the employment front, our leaders are outsourcing
and offshoring our jobs to Third World countries while they import the
Third World into our country. America's middle class is being driven into
the unemployment lines. Our schools are becoming dysfunctional towers of
Babel with over 140 languages. We can not stay afloat with this kind of
linguistic chaos. Yes, we have compassion for immigrants, but it's our
country and our children. Their leaders need to take care of them in their
countries. Unfortunately, Congress and the leadership of this nation refuse
to step below the water line to see how fast we are sinking. We're $6.8
trillion in debt. There were 20 different languages on the California recall
ballot. Whose country is this anyway? Our leaders are standing in the wheelhouse
totally insulated and isolated from those of us who shovel the coal, build
houses, repair cars, teach our kids, drive school busses and plow roads.
-
- We can not save the world, but we can destroy our country
if we fail to act.
-
- Like the Titanic that cracked in half before plunging
to the depths because no one stopped the incoming water, the United States
like all great nations before us, could sink. You can see the signs all
around our country. If you look about you, we're shuddering from bow to
aft-from the stacks to the rudder. Who is steering our nation and why are
they heading toward more icebergs instead of changing course? What can
you do? You are just as much an American patriot as Paul Revere, Betsy
Ross, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, Susan B. Anthony, Lincoln and
the soldiers from Valley Forge to the Jungles of Vietnam and deserts of
Iraq. It's time to start riding, stitching, writing, charging, demonstrating
and fighting for our country within our country. We must seal our borders
against this incursion.
-
- Since our leaders won't stop this invasion of an 'unarmed
army' of legal and illegal immigrants, it's up to you. Our children face
a dangerous future if we fail to take action. It wasn't George Washington
who beat the British army. It was every militiaman who shot from fence
lines and trees. It wasn't Ike who won WWII. It was every GI who slung
a rifle over his soldier. Susan B. Anthony marched and Dr. Martin Luther
King demonstrated. They, in their time, paid the price for defending America
so we could enjoy our freedom. This is your time.
