Immigration Bill: The Fix Is In!
Kiss Our Nation “Goodbye”
“You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.” (Mk 10:42)
Hi, everybody! Sorry for being so quiet for the past ten days! I have been trying to get the “scoop” on the status of the so-called “reforms” in the Immigration bill. My report to you is:
THE FIX IS IN!
As you will read (and I pray you do) in the linked column: Who's Winning the Immigration Battle? by William Rusher, the Elites are IGNORING you and me and doing whatever they deem best for themselves and their associates, despite the massive bipartisan objections of the voters who have been phoning, rallying, writing and visiting offices, all to no avail. The Elites simply DO NOT CARE what we think!
Rather than express more of my disgust, let me give you some excerpts from Rusher’s column. Please read it all, because he sums up all the problems very succinctly. If the bill passes, you, I and our children can kiss our orderly, law-abiding Christian-based nation completely “goodbye”!
“The [pro-‘reform’ bill] coalition is simply too powerful for anything as unfocused as mere American public opinion to resist for long. For one thing, it includes the entire Democratic Party…The Democratic strategists realize that if they can only put the 12 million or more illegal aliens already here on a track to eventual citizenship, two-thirds of them can be depended to vote Democratic when they get there…That's a net gain of 4 million votes in every national election after roughly 2020, and that figure will only grow as more Hispanics flood in under the other provisions of the ‘reform.’”
“The other wing of the coalition consists, paradoxically, of people who mostly vote Republican. But they are businessmen who depend on cheap immigrant labor to fatten their profits, and who are willing to do whatever it takes to keep the current influx of Mexican laborers coming. Their spiritual ancestors were the pre-Civil War slaveowners, who really knew about cheap labor. The businessmen in question are hugely influential in the Republican Party.”
“Now, there is nothing inherently wrong with immigration, or with Hispanic immigration. It is perfectly true that America has always welcomed immigrants, and has prospered hugely from their contributions. But the flood of Hispanic immigration in the past three decades, both legal and illegal, has simply overwhelmed the normal assimilative capacities of American society.”
“[I]t will transform the United States into a bilingual, bicultural hodgepodge with quite possibly fatal internal divisions.”
“‘Border enforcement’ has been a standing joke for 20 years.”
“And bear in mind that when the ‘reform’ bill is finally passed (as it very probably will be), its enforcement will be in the hands of the Democratic party, which seems likely to sweep the 2008 elections to spank George Bush for Iraq. How much of that ‘fence’, do you suppose, will actually be built on the Democrats' watch?”
“We are in the grip of a coalition of businessmen without foresight and politicians without scruples. And anyone who lives through the next fifty years will see the United States transformed from a proud English-speaking nation in the West European tradition into a polyglot multicultural mess.”(emphases mine)

Prayer
“Lord, we welcome people from foreign lands. But the borders You established (Acts 17:26), must be respected and honored, as well as the Rule of Law. Many of our senators seem to be feathering their own nests and ignoring what seems orderly, wise and gracious as well as the people who elected them.
Please, Lord, help us – for ‘the help of man is worthless’ (Ps 60:11). In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
