Yesterday, on CBS news with Katie Couric, there was a family interviewed in Phoenix that had decided to ‘relocate’ to California, due to the draconian new law recently passed. The mother (the father refused to be on camera) disclosed that they had been in this country for 15 years, and during that time, managed to birth 10 children, who were all American citizens (read: anchor babies).
During the interview, the woman, despite being in the country for 15 years, spoke only Spanish, and verbalized anger and frustration over the fact that she felt obligated to move, due only to being ‘undocumented”. The CBS team interviewed neighbors, and attempted to play the sympathy card in that the neighborhood will now change, due to the family having to relocate. There was no mention from the CBS team about legalizing her status, or even questioning how this family has managed to navigate the system to take advantage of taxpayer based education for the 10 children, or the health care related costs, such as birth, etc.
It was apparent that CBS had an agenda with this story, and they bantered on about how ‘unfair’ the new law is in Arizona, and the ‘hardships’ it is producing for the ‘undocumented workers’. Of course, the CBS team did not make one attempt to interview any of the Arizona officials to get their view of the story (showing how fair and balanced they are), and they sure did not interview any immigrants, who actually came into the country the LEGAL WAY. It would be very interesting for CBS to actually do a balanced story, and interview legal immigrants, and try to understand the ‘hardship’ they go through to make it right for themselves and their families.
I was introduced to an Eastern European woman by a friend, who thought I could help her out in her situation. This woman is here on a student visa and states she will have to leave the country if she goes less than full time in school, and states she has been working for some time to get a green card. This woman is currently working 4 part time jobs, as well as taking a full class load at a local community college, and speaks fluent English after being here only four years. (This woman did not know one word of English prior to coming over).
This woman went on to discuss how much she has paid in legal fees to navigate the immigration system, but has nonetheless, persevered and continued with the process. This woman has taken the time to learn the language, and has a very good working knowledge of our laws. She is paying taxes and if not able to become a citizen, will forfeit the money paid into the system. This woman is also law abiding, and is very cognizant of what she needs to do to even register her car properly. She takes great pride in contributing to this society, and is looking forward to obtaining her citizenship, in her words ‘if it is meant to be’.
Katie Couric and the CBS team will never interview this woman or any one like her for that matter because it will detract from their story line. No one will bother to interview and document the ‘hardships’ these people go through, but they only want to describe hardships when it comes to those who break the laws, and document these law breakers whining and complaining about it, while they simultaneously eat up resources paid for by citizens, and others who play by the rules. There is very little respect for the law anymore, and the mainstream media is going to cater to the politically correct, and show disdain for those who do put in the effort to do the right thing.
Yes, we do have an immigration problem in this country. We are keeping those out who are actually interested in assimilating and encouraging those who openly violate the law, and show no interest in participating and contributing to this country in a way that enhances it. It is always about blame; it’s got to be some one else’s fault, it’s too hard to get in, too much bureaucracy, prejudice, low paying jobs. Take your pick; any excuse will do if the goal is to attack the majority and their way of life and beliefs.
Those who want to be in this country need to follow the current laws. They need to learn the language of the people, which is English (speak whatever you want in the privacy of your homes). They need to learn and obey the laws of the land; they need to work legally and pay taxes, and contribute constructively to this society. They need to learn about the Rich heritage of America and add to it, not take away from it. But don’t expect to be welcomed if it is demanded that they are taken care of and given special privileges that those who already live here do not receive. Newness is always welcome in this country, wanting to dictate the terms of being here and thinking one runs the show is not welcome.
On a related note…
Did anyone else notice that during the Illegals march last weekend, there was a good amount of destruction of other people’s property and other assorted violence that took place? Did you also happen to notice that it was barely covered by the MSM, and even then, the MSM blamed ‘anarchists’ and not the Illegals for the lawbreaking and destruction? Funny, how law breakers have a tendency to… break laws! The tea party people have done no such things, but have been called the most outrageous names by the MSM and Obama and his other Fabian socialist goons.

HYPOCRITES
George Offerman
Now that the ‘immigration’ issue is front and center, we are seeing the language and tactics of the socialists in attempting to glorify lawbreaking, and demonize the law abiding. There are major parallels in this debate, as well as the debate concerning legalized child killing, and it is the socialists who are using the same old worn out playbook that makes their next moves rather predictable. It seems this debate is drawing in more people, and there seems to be some good opposition towards the socialists for a change.
There is a proposed march by Hispanics that is suppose to incorporate 70 cities. It would be a fair presumption that a fairly large number of these individuals will fall into the illegal alien category. The Federal Government ought to take the lead as Arizona has just demonstrated, and have a fleet of busses and INS agents ready for those who are willing and openly flaunting their law breaking status in our face. Now, we know they will not do this, and will cave into the politically correct and truly ‘fascist’ group that calls themselves liberals, who believe they are above the law, and instigate breaking the law over upholding the law.
Now, the socialists would be calling me and everyone who has similar thoughts all sorts of names, and would more than likely want to see me in jail for making ‘offensive and hate filled statements’ than for the real law breakers to get justice. See, the crime as the socialists see it is to be opposed to their ‘superior thoughts and ways of doing things’. The socialists believe they know better, and can run at least the majority’s lives better than the majority can themselves. They see others who do not agree with them and don’t think like them as stupid, and are not worthy of having a say so in matters such as this.
The socialists are accusing the law abiding citizens of being fascist, Nazi like, bigots, racist, anti immigrant, selfish and greedy. Actually it is the socialists who are guilty of being all of the above, but are too stupid themselves to see it. The collective ignorance of these people is astounding, and the fact they are dumb enough to proclaim it from the rooftops shows how out of touch with reality they really are. If any of these collective idiots were in any other country, they would minimally be arrested and deported, and at worst, charged with espionage and tried as spies (as has already happened to more intelligent people abroad).
That these people are for immoral and illegal activities is telling in and of itself. The socialists lame brained reasoning for upholding their own inept thought processes and behaviors is that (certain) people have a right to do what they want (except for the majority and Christians; they must pay for everything and not complain about it). They do not or are incapable of seeing their own errors, and thus have to demonize anyone who can actually present two logical thoughts that contradict their insane positions. (Look no further than the European experiment that is disintegrating right before our eyes.)
It is this group that is intolerant of those that attempt to disagree with reason. It is this group that is bigoted, by making very generalized statements against white Christian people and accusing them of being the problem. It is this group that is guilty of hate speech, by ‘demonizing’ the opposition by using words such as fascist, Nazism, anti immigrant, prejudiced, etc (I have not heard any of these terms come from tea party people, and those from Arizona). It is this group that has no clue how this mess will be paid for, and it is this group that simultaneously wants to push the rights of lawbreakers, in the name of freedom, down the throats of the law abiding, against their will. It is the socialist who is confused, and that is likely why THEY are so ANGRY all the time. To be that confused and stupid has to be a major burden, but I can only guess at that.
It is the same with legalized child killing. “We can do what we want with our bodies, and don’t tell us what to do”, while then insisting on gong to the public trough to have their ‘choice’ paid for by others. Whether backing immoral behavior such as legalized child killing or immoral and illegal entry into the country, these people consistently attack what is right and moral, and use force to get their way. Well, many people are getting fed up with their stupidity and finally are willing to stand up top these idiots.
If the stupid socialist actually thought for a moment who really acts like the Nazis, it might dawn on them that is they who mirror this junk. The Nazis targeted, rounded up Jews, and ultimately executed them. The socialists target, encourage and arrange for the execution of babies. The Nazis made enemy lists as are the current crop of socialists. The Nazis stirred up the masses by going after banking and industry; the socialists are doing the same with their congressional hearings and constant attacks on capitalists and the middle class. The Nazis debunked and trashed the great leaders of the past; the socialists constantly attack the founding fathers and principles of liberty. The Nazis used propaganda, fear tactics and demonizing language to ostracize their opposition. The socialists use false studies, innuendoes, label and demonize their opposition which is the tea party people and patriotic, law abiding Americans.
There are more points I could bring up, but if one is even a little honest with himself, it is clear which side of the current debates is guilty of the charges, and which side attempts to play by the rules. So, as these liberal, socialist, demovamp, or whatever term one wants to use to describe this band of fools, try to sell their garbage philosophy to the populace, tell them to go to hell. It most likely is a location they are very familiar with, and evidently want others to go to as well.

CARDINAL MAHONEY SHOULD SPEND HIS TIME CLEANING HIS OWN HOUSE
George Offerman
It seems many of the American prelates just can’t seem to keep quiet when matters of importance that are real problems are being dealt with appropriately. It is nearly laughable that of all the Cardinals to enter a public discourse, Cardinal Mahoney now wants to accuse the Arizona legislature and sheriff’s department of using ‘German Nazi and Russian Communist Techniques” (If only Cardinal Mahoney would use the same language on Planned Parenthood, and their indiscriminate slaughter of the innocent). The Cardinal’s blog entry on this matter, unfortunately, is filled with distortions and uses shrill and emotionally laden terms in an attempt to make a point, that law breakers should be protected.
The Cardinal goes out of his way to not use the term ‘illegal’ and presents his case as ‘anti immigrant’ which is disingenuous. The Cardinal also attempts to make the case that this country is sending mixed messages concerning the need for labor, while systematically ‘persecuting’ those who have come in magnanimously, to help us in our need. Law breaking is not addressed at all in this posting. The next three paragraphs are from Cardinal Mahoney’s blog site.
http://cardinalrogermahonyblogsla.blogspot.com/
The Arizona legislature just passed the country's most retrogressive, mean-spirited, and useless anti-immigrant law [SB 1070, awaiting the expected signature of Gov. Jan Brewer]. The tragedy of the law is its totally flawed reasoning: that immigrants come to our country to rob, plunder, and consume public resources. That is not only false, the premise is nonsense.
What led the Arizona legislature to pass such a law is so obvious to all of us who have been working for federal comprehensive immigration reform: the present immigration system is completely incapable of balancing our nation's need for labor and the supply of that labor. We have built a huge wall along our southern border, and have posted in effect two signs next to each other. One reads, "No Trespassing," and the other reads "Help Wanted." The ill-conceived Arizona law does nothing to balance our labor needs.
The law is wrongly assuming that Arizona residents, including local law enforcement personnel, will now shift their total attention to guessing which Latino-looking or foreign-looking person may or may not have proper documents. That's also nonsense. American people are fair-minded and respectful. I can't imagine Arizonans now reverting to German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques whereby people are required to turn one another in to the authorities on any suspicion of documentation. Are children supposed to call 911 because one parent does not have proper papers? Are family members and neighbors now supposed to spy on one another, create total distrust across neighborhoods and communities, and report people because of suspicions based upon appearance?
Although it may be true that most of the illegals are here to work, and ultimately try to make life better for their families, it is false to make the assertion that crime has not gone up from those bad elements coming here, and the people of Arizona have a right to protect themselves. As well, the Cardinal dismisses quite readily those who have played by the rules and came here legally, minimizing their efforts and trying to equate law breakers with law abiding immigrants as one and the same. Many of these immigrants (and I have had many encounters with both illegal and legal) are more disgusted with the lawbreakers, as they cheated to get here, and despite Cardinal Mahoney’s claim, do utilize many services paid for by tax payer money.
One who is invited to a house or other property is called a guest, while those who break in and are unwanted are called trespassers or robbers. (Or in Cardinal Mahoney’s words, unwanted guests) Maybe unbeknown to Cardinal Mahoney is the small fact that lawbreakers have a tendency to… break laws. Illegals in this country are not immigrants, they are lawbreakers. If the lawbreakers are of Hispanic origin, it does not make sense to stop blue haired grannies for their ID’s in order to be politically correct. It is very interesting the Cardinal totally overlooks law breaking, and advocates actively for the law breakers, while chastising those who uphold the law, and are law enforcement agents.
There may or may not be many who are anti immigrant, but there are plenty of people who are anti illegal. This country, as well as the Catholic Church was built on the order of law and authority, and those who advocate breaking the laws are seen as guilty as those who are actually breaking the law. To apologize for upholding the law, or to be called names like Nazis is unbecoming to begin with, but from a high ranking prelate such as Cardinal Mahoney, it sows confusion and discord, and needs to be challenged. It is incredible that Rome is staying out of this, and it would seem that some action should result in order to correct this misguided perception.
Unfortunately for this particular Cardinal, not following authority and ‘lawbreaking’ has been his modus operandi for most of his tenure at the helm of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Given the large number of scandals that have not been dealt with (covered up) coupled with the fact that issues such as legalized child killing, and blatant violations of Cannon 915 are going on, the Cardinal would do very well to pay attention to his own back yard, and demonstrate real leadership by upholding the Faith and the traditions of the Catholic Church. It is really a shame when a prelate of the stature of Cardinal Mahoney can come out with statements like this, and vilify those who have a right and an obligation to protect themselves as well as stop illegal activity, uses such brazen statements as he has. An apology is really needed here, but don’t expect one. In fact, the good Cardinal may want the law abiding to apologize to the law breakers for ‘offending’ them and creating ‘needless hostilities’. The insanity continues, but from the unlikely source of the Catholic Church. Sad, indeed.
