Sold Out

It is almost unbelievable how George Bush, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and most of the rest of our political leaders are betraying America and Americans by not even attempting to do anything meaningful about the worsening disaster happening at our international border with Mexico.

Anyone who mentions their disgust with the illegal alien debacle is called a
racist and accused of hating Mexicans. In the overwhelming majority that is
not the case at all but a much-used ploy by the left and others to water
down the discussion and take the attention off the crux of the problem.

Neither party of our government has the guts to deal with the situation or
any other meaningful situation it seems so the only way we are ever going to get anything done is by the American people, and I mean all of us, to
absolutely demand that the chaos be dealt with swiftly and decisively.

The situation at the border is not just an effort by poor Latino people sneaking across the border to get a piece of The American Dream. It goes much deeper than that and all the American people are being shown is the tip of a very large and very cruel iceberg.

I usually keep my columns brief and concise but in an attempt to share some information you're not going to read in the New York Times or see
on a network newscast this will be rather lengthy.

In the first place, we don't even have anywhere to an accurate count of how
many people are in our country illegally, much less how many more cross the border every day.

Fact: Instead of sending a large shipment of drugs across the border in
motor vehicles and airplanes where the whole load may be confiscated, many drug lords have resorted to using people crossing the border illegally
outfitted with backpacks full of drugs. They stand the chance of losing one
or two backpacks full but usually not the whole shipment.

These human caravans are many times accompanied by para military types armed with automatic weapons and willing to use them. Armed members of the Mexican military are routinely seen on the American side of the border.

Fact: The guides or coyotes who bring the illegals across from Mexico and
charge 12 to 15 hundred dollars a head have no concern for the people in
their charge and have been known to let them lie on the ground and die
rather than giving them a drink of water.

Fact: When they get close to the border the coyotes sometimes separate the attractive women from the group crossing take them out in the desert and brutally rape them after which they force the women to hang their panties on a tree known as a rape tree and the amount of panties hanging on a tree is a source of competition and pride to the coyotes.

Fact: Women, girls and boys are regularly sold into prostitution by the
coyotes that bring them across the border.

Fact: The ranchers who live on the border are no longer safe in their own
homes. Groups of twenty to thirty illegals, some armed and some carrying
drugs, destroy their fences and their water tanks costing them thousands of dollars in the cattle which are their livelihood.

Fact: In the state of California alone 86 hospitals have closed, put out of
business by being forced to treat foreign nationals who routinely use the
emergency room for nothing more serious than a headache, have no health
insurance, pay nothing and don't even fill out any documents.

Fact: Illegals are bringing diseases across the border that we haven't had a
problem with in this country in decades. Diseases such as multiple drug resistant tuberculosis, in fact 84 % of the people with this disease are from Mexico and the Philippines.

Leprosy had all but disappeared from the American scene but in the last
three-year there have been 7000 cases almost all from India, Brazil, the
Caribbean and Mexico.

Fact: Violent gangs come into this country and carry on criminal activities including murder. Mexicans and Central Americans are not the only ones crossing the border into America. Middle Easterners are not uncommon but for some reason it seems their arrests are not made public knowledge.

Fact: Vincent Fox and the Mexican government has no interest whatsoever in stopping or even slowing the flow of illegals.

Fact: The A.C.L.U. and illegal rights groups simply ignore the facts like
the ones I've listed above and with the help of the media gloss over this
catastrophe.

Fact: If something isn't done about this situation and I'm not talking about
next year, this country is headed for a period of domestic violence like
we've never seen before.

Fact: America is being sold out by our elected officials.

Fact: Nobody's going to get it done but John Q. Public.

Pray for our troops.

God Bless America
