WOW when did the democrats officially join ranks with Osama Bin Laden? I say officially since they've been anti-American for some time but to hear the comments of Bin Laden was laughable. The same rhetoric the democrats use to try to fool Americans is being used by Bin Laden, amazing! Do you think this has made the democrats step back and re-assess their stance, hardly. Hopefully, though, Americans are paying attention to the similarity between the left and the terrorist. Whether it is coming from the left or from a terrorist, it is still the same trash meant to destroy our country. When people such as Harry Belefonte and AlGore go over seas and trash the US I personally think that they should be exiled. Their comments are damaging to our country. It seems that over the years the pride that Americans had in their country has disappeared. There was a time that if you disagreed with the current administration you didn't go around tearing them and your country down especially not in other countries. You still had respect and pride in your country. I admit that when Clinton was president I was embarrassed but I still respected my country too much to take her down with him.
If the democrats had anything to offer they'd be making speeches about their ideas and how they want to change things but instead they run around like Jr High little girls tearing down others to try to make themselves look better knowing they have nothing any better to offer. I think they know that the American people in general don't want what they are offering so in a last ditch desperate attempt they are using school girl tactics to try to make the other guy look bad so they might be seen as the lesser of the two evils. Unfortunately, in the process, they are dragging down the US with them. They are giving ammunition to hour enemies. They are traitors and at the least should not be able to be part of our government. There was a time when senators, ex vice-presidents etc. were held to a higher standard of public behavior. I believe there was a time that they would no longer have a position in our government if they demeaned our country overseas in this way.
After Pearl Harbor, when we were forced to war, had our media and our government officials acted as they do now, we would be speaking German now if we were speaking at all. Personally, I think we should put these anti American Democrats in a room and pipe in nothing but "Have You Forgotten", "Courtesy of the Red White and Blue" and "American Soldier" until they wise up. We might also try bombarding them with the words of our forefathers and the constitution until they get the picture. We'll call it indoctrination into the American way.

FOREIGN WORKERS
I want you all to know that I understand the need for foreign workers. My husband and I have a custom harvesting company and we require seasonal workers willing to travel most of 7 months of the year. There are no medical benefits, not even for us. We've had trouble finding workers in the US willing to work a seasonal job with no benefits and when we did find them they would quit part of the way through the harvest. About 8 years ago we started using the H2A Visa system to aquire foreign workers from places such as New Zealand, Australia and even Denmark this last year. We found hard workers, many educated or at least trained, they were dependable and it was all done legally. The drawbacks to this program include the expense of the Visas, the requirement by immigration that we pay higher wages than we usually do (another reason why we still would rather hire americans) the need to house and feed all of our workers and just the hassle of the program. We are a small family owned company and we are forced to pay more for our foreign workers. Yet many big companies with much more money and power hire illegal immigrants for pennies on the dollar. It angers me that we are barely scraping by because we do things legally while the big guys get a bargain for them and a burden for the tax payer. The H2A visa program is limited to a small number while millions off 'undocumented workers' come over our borders to work for these less than honest employers. Many people would believe that there isn't much of a difference in the different foreign workers and their roll but I will point out to you that the differences are astonishing and costly.
When our H2A visa workers come to the US they must have appropriate immunizations. These 'undocumented workers' (Oh Come On they are invaders, criminals, leeches) come bringing TB and many other risks to our health due to their lack of immunizations. Our workers must purchase an insurance policy so as not to burden our healthcare system. Every year we pay for the heathcare, births etc. of millions of leeches nicely referred to as undocumented workers! WHen our workers are done with their job, we sign a form stating when they were released and they are booked on flights back to their individual homes and they GO THERE!!! Many Mexican workers with or without a green card fade into our society and live off of our welfare system, benefit from our healthcare system, fill our jails and get educations compliments of the citizens of the US.
Custom harvesters are actually dealt a double wammy when it comes to immigration though. Custom Harvesters from the United States are going out of business every year and at a highly alarming rate because the US allows Candian harvesters to come into the US and take our jobs. That's right, they can come in, offer lower prices since they don't pay our taxes and put Americans out of business and the government does nothing about it.
When we hire foreign workers we must first prove we cannot find an American to take the job yet Canadian harvesters can be hired even if there are American harvesters to do the job, even if it puts American harvesters out of business.
When harvesters go out of business who's going to pick up their tax burden for our Mexican Welfare System?

SPEAK ENGLISH
It seems that every time I go to Wal-Mart I leave with an utter distaste for our immigration system. When I am in Wal-Mart 50-75% of the people I see are hispanic and I have to wonder how many of those are illegally in our country. Illegal or not, if they come into our country, they need to assimilate. Why do merchants such as Wal-Mart insist on enabling these people to thumb their noses at our culture? WHY do they insist on enabling them to continue to speak exclusively spanish? I speaking, of course, of the self check out terminals that want to know if I want to check out in English or Spanish and the signs throughout the store in both languages and, of course, the employess who can't speak English. If they want to spend the money spend it on English lessons for the legals and one way trips for the illegals.
Recently I was listening to talk radio and a caller made an interesting statement, he stated that these hispanics (most of them Mexican) are 'colonizing' our country. WOW what a revelation. I don't think that merchants such as Wal-Mart understand the harm they are doing to our country in the name of the all mighty dollar. If these people insist on being here then they need to learn English to function, WE do not need to make it easy for them to stay ignorant of our language. There was a time that anyone who wanted to immigrate to the US and any that wanted to become citizens had to learn our history, our culture, and yes, our language. These days Americans pay so that immigrants can stay ignorant to our way of life. Who do you think pays for interpretors? For all of the forms printed in multiple languages? For school teachers who are multi-lingual? Do you not think that our children pay when their teachers have to spend half of their time teaching in another language? Teaching children whose parents, most likely, pay no taxes? Our children get short changed on their education because OUR tax dollars have to go to pay for education for illegal aliens. Let's call a spade a spade, their parents are criminals, invaders of our country! You and I probably paid for their birth in one of our hospitals, their immunizations, their healthcare. It is very likely we are paying for their food stamps. We pay in many ways. We pay through lower wages when companies can pay illegals less than a fair American wage. We pay because many of these are not only criminals because they crossed our borders illegally but many were criminals in their own country, we have become mexico's dumping ground for their criminals and their uneducated labor force. We pay to keep them in our jails!
I find it disturbing that if these people were arab we'd be demanding they be removed immediately and be scared but because they are latino we put up with their invasion. Don't kid yourselves we HAVE been invaded and though they do not fight a war with us in the traditional sense of guns and tanks, they are conducting a war!! They have declared economic war on us as well as cultural war and we are playing dead. I was recently in Dumas, Texas and I literally felt like an alien in my own country. Does no one realize that in these border states there are enough of these people to take over if they saw fit? Do enough people not know that their military has, on many occasions, crossed our borders to protect their smugglers? This IS a war and until the people of the US start treating it that way we are at risk of losing it!! Our military is protecting everyone's border but ours! We DO need to be protected from this invasion but, instead, our government is treating it as more of a nuisance than the war that it is. We are not Mexico's welfare state and, I for one, will not roll over and play dead while these leeches decimate MY country!!
The United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a Republican form of Government and shall protect each of them against invasion

So, where are the forces sworn to protect us?
