On Aug. 12, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson declared a state of emergency "due to a chaotic situation involving illegal alien smuggling and illegal drug shipments" on his southern border. Three days later, Gov. Janet Napolitano followed suit in Arizona.

Reason: the crisis on the border. The ally-ally-in-free immigration policy of George Bush and Vicente Fox, beloved of corporate America, has created a hell on our southern border.

Those Southwestern states are being inundated by illegal aliens trashing ranches, killing cattle, committing crimes and eating up tax dollars. The traffic in narcotics and human beings from Mexico is a national scandal and a human-rights disgrace.

What is true of New Mexico and Arizona is true of our nation, which is now home to an estimated 10 million to 15 million aliens who have broken our laws and broken into our country. It is a mark of the cowardice of our leaders that they are so terrified of being called "bigots" they tolerate this criminality. The moral rot of political correctness runs deep today in both national parties.

A president like Teddy Roosevelt would have led the Army to the border years ago. And if Fox did not cooperate, T.R. would have gone on to Mexico City. Nor would Ike, who deported all illegal aliens in 1953, have stood still for this being done to the country he had defended in war.

What are these Bush Republicans afraid of? Dirty looks from the help at the country club?

The question of whether America is going to remain one nation, or whether our Southwest will wind up as a giant Kosovo – separated by language and loyalty from the rest of America – is on the table.

Where is Bush? All wrapped up in the issue of whether women in Najaf will have the same rights in divorce and custody cases as women in Nebraska. His legislative agenda for the fall includes a blanket amnesty for illegals, so they can be exploited by businesses who want to hold wages down as they dump the social costs for their employees – health care, schools, courts, cops, prisons – onto taxpayers.

Not only have Richardson and Napolitano awakened – they are on the front lines – so, too, has Hillary Clinton, who has spoken out against illegal immigration with a forthrightness that makes Bush sound like a talking head for La Raza.

Why is a Republican Congress permitting this president to persist in the dereliction of his sworn duty?

George Bush is chief executive of the United States. It is his duty to enforce the laws. Can anyone fairly say he is enforcing the immigration laws? Those laws are clear. People who break in are to be sent back. Yet, more than 10 million have broken in with impunity. Another million attempt to break in every year. Half a million succeed. Border security is homeland security. How, then, can the Department of Homeland Security say America is secure?

Who can guarantee that, of the untold millions of illegals here, and the scores of thousands ordered deported for crimes who have disappeared into our midst, none is a terrorist waiting for orders to blow up a subway or mall and massacre American citizens?

Most of these illegals come to work to send money back to their families. They are not bad people. But because they are predominantly young and male, they commit a disproportionate share of violent crimes.

Why should U.S. citizens be assaulted, robbed, raped and murdered, and have their children molested, because their government will not enforce its own laws?

Is this not an indictment of democracy itself? What dictatorial regime would put up with this?

The Republican Party claims to be a conservative party. But what kind of conservative is it who, to cut a few costs or make a few bucks, will turn his family's home into a neighborhood flop house?

In a recent poll, 40 percent of Mexicans – 40 million people – said they would like to come to the United States, and 20 percent expressed a willingness to break in. Time to cut the babble about how NAFTA is going to solve the problem. This is a national emergency.

Twice, George Bush has taken an oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Article IV, Section 4 of that Constitution reads, "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion."

Well, we are being invaded, and the president of the United States is not doing his duty to protect the states against that invasion. Some courageous Republican, to get the attention of this White House, should drop into the hopper a bill of impeachment, charging George W. Bush with a conscious refusal to uphold his oath and defend the states of the Union against "invasion."

It may be the only way left to get his attention, before the border vanishes and our beloved country dissolves into MexAmerica, what T.R. called a "polyglot boarding house for the world."

Bullshit slanted reporting.
I agree with the state of emergency as an attempt to grab attention. I agree the borders need to be tightened.

Bush is an idiot, but one of the few good ideas he has had (which gets ZERO traction in the press) is the "guest worker program"

Hell, our economy needs illegals. Lets make them legal workers, with full documentation, full taxation, and increased national security. Its the ONLY solution that makes any sense.

We can resolve these catstrophes through prayer.
If Bush can pray for the storm to miss New Orleans, it would surely work on something as minor as the border sitch.

[Core Shot]

Apparantly God invoked a technicality in those prayers when folks prayed for New Orleans to be spared by the hurricane.
Turns out that no one bothered to pray for the levees to hold the day after.

Bet the folks in Buloxi are so happy that all those praying folks pushed the storm east and flattened their town.

The government wants everything to be simultaneously necessary and illegal.

In that way, government gets ultimate power. They can do anything to anyone at any time, because everyone is always breaking the law.

Drug laws.
Immigration laws.
Gun laws.
Tax laws.
Business licenses and regulations.

Ever seen the US Code? It takes up entire walls at lawyers' offices. No one can read it all, let alone understand it. It is literally impossible to know the law. Yet you can be fined and jailed for breaking it.

In the case of immigration, US businesses want cheap labor. Illegal labor is cheaper than legal labor, because illegals can't complain about sub-minimum wages or dangerous working conditions. Soon everyone is using it, and those that don't can't compete. This meshes nicely with the government's desires, because now both the workers *and* the employers are breaking the law.

you know, I used to live in an upscale bedroom community in Westchester (Mount Kisco). Every morning I would witness about 50 to 100 Mexican or Central American men hanging out at the train station waiting for work from passing cars or trucks. Every fucking morning. Just imagine what that is like - coming to a strange country, (probably taking your life in your hands many times to do it, either by heat stroke or starvation or bandito attacks [on both sides]) to work at any fucking job you can get with minimal pay and no respect. Washing dishes, cleaning shit, cutting grass, menial construction work, Hell, one of the local towns hired them through a private contractor to direct traffic around road work, "Hey, Pedro, hold this flag and stand out there, OK? bueno ...snicker.....". And they would live 20 to a house. Never heard a peep from them. Crime? shit, they're too tired to fuck up. They work like dogs.

Fuck you, Pat Buchanan. Bet you or a lot in your circle has hired a few "immigrants" to clean up your baby's shit or maybe your own. Go move to Idaho and shut the fuck up.
