Quote
Every unskilled illegal immigrant who enters the United States for work drives up healthcare costs for every American And every illegal immigrant we turn a blind eye toward weakens the rule of law our country is founded on. Elton GalleglyDwight D.Eisenhower
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the
military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never
let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted.
Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery
of defense with our peaceful methods and goals.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
XXXIV President

We simply cannot love our neighbors until they are in fact our neighbors againCarolyn HilemanI have to wonder what you would do if the next time you ate a salad the tomato, instead of spewing seeds and juice when you bit into it spewed American blood, what if when walking on your newly mowed lawn it suddenly became a cemetery with markers belonging to American citizens killed by those who are only here to mow lawns, perhaps if it was a family member of your own, a mother, sister, brother, husband, wife or God forbid your child, would it matter then? Would you finally stop saying that sending these people home to come back legally is a punitive punishment? Would you be so apt to tell someone who had just lost their only child to an illegal immigrant with a beer and a car, that anyone could have done it? If it was your child, your wife, your husband whom you had to bury simply because our government refused to enforce laws already on the books, how would you feel? Would you feel betrayed by your own country, that put the life of someone who came into our country illegally above the life of your son or daughter and how would you feel to know that the person who killed your child had been in jail just days before but because no one bothered to ask about their immigration status because it might be considered discrimination they were set free to kill your child??? Those of you on your moral high horse who honestly believe that those who want our laws enforced are the criminals, the racists, the hate mongers, would be one too if you only knew of the damage done to the other families in this country, you know the ones who are legally here, the Americans. You spend all of your time talking about how many of our American children are killed in Iraq but could care less about the American children gunned down, knifed, run over and killed here on our city streets. You talk about compassion as if it is a new word you made up describing how we are supposed to treat our guests, only problem is no one invited them unless it was you. Then we have those who are in office who spend all of their time telling us how bad we are that we don’t want illegal immigrants in our workplaces and neighborhoods and of course they can ride that moral high horse because they do not have to worry about any of them moving into their nicely zoned neighborhoods and there certainly won’t be any illegal immigrant children in those nice prep schools they send their kids to.               |
