Folks, we've managed the problem of illegal border problems before, and did so in right fine style, if I do say so.
You see, back in May of 1916, a certain murdering miscreant by the name of Pancho Villa, who, being preturbed at the United States official recognition of one Sr. Carranza as President of Mexico, took it upon himself to wreak mayhem along our Southern Frontier with Mexico.
This of course, could not stand.
So, in a decisive manner quite unlike today's lack of Washingtonian leadership, President Wilson, (who I otherwise detest as prototypical globalist), dispatched General John J. "Blackjack" Pershing to the region, with orders to interdict Villa and his contingent.
Though ultimately directly unsuccessful, the Mexican Expedition did serve notice of the strength and will of the United States where her Southern border was concerned. And we enjoyed decades of relative security in those desolate regions, only to watch Administration after Administration cede more and more United States Sovereignty in the affected region.
Which is where we now find ourselves. Villa laughing in his grave, while millions upon millions of his countrymen raid our towns, cities and states throughout the United States. And they're not satisfied to hit, pillage and run.
Instead, they are an occupying force, one which seeks supremacy in these lands. A supremacy of numbers and made fast by the the implied threat borne of hundreds of thousands marching in the streets of America.
But they do not have the law, nor the will of the American People on their side.
We do, and it is damned well high time that we exert that will, and do so resoundingly.
Let Pershing ride again.
After Pearl Harbor, a great xenophobia gripped this country, especially the West Coast. Japanese people, even naturalized citizens of Japanese extraction, were rounded up and imprisoned in concentration camps for the duration of the war. When they finally got out of camp after we drove Japan back to their islands, few got their houses, businesses or lands back.
Some say internment was a horrible example of government excess, but it was actually understandable, given the swift and efficient attack on Hawaii, and the following attacks on Alaska, for the poeple to be very afraid of the Japanese, WHO TENDED TO REMAIN IN THEIR CULTURE AFTER GETTING TO THESE SHORES.
Compare (contrast if you can, I can't) with the Mexicans, who invade illegally (plus factor for worry, the Japanese all were legally admitted), remain in their culture, and even demand services in their own language (the Japanese didn't, they quickly learned English, much more difficult for them than it is for Mexicans).
Add to that the fact that they are encouraged by their own government to illegally invade this country in their millions so that they will send back the big dollars, so that the Mexican government can tax less and spend more, and the end result is that we have an enemy at the gates.
Except we don't have any gates, so the enemy is among us.
Come to Rivrdog blog for my not unique, but never-discussed solution to this issue.
