The more things are different, the more they are the same. Events like 9/11 and December 7th, 1941 have impacted this country. However, as the psyche of this country changes over time, it appears we collectively, are willing to forget history. History is cyclic and if we don't learn from our past mistakes, then we will see more 9/11s. Our politicians appear to have their own agendas and are not looking out for the rest of us. Islamic Terrorism and Illegal Immigration are interconnected. The security of this nation is dependent on sound policies for both these issues. Our politicians are willing to look the other way, as they play their parts, in the culture of "politics as usual".
A plug nickel has two sides. It has an imaginary head's side and an imaginary tail's side. If you toss the plug into the air you will have a 50:50 chance of, either heads or tails, when it lands. It can also be viewed as having a left side and a right side. One side is the Politically Correct side and the other side is the Money side. The plug nickel is what it is, a plug nickel (worthless). Whatever political party is in charge is a gamble. In politics, it is politics-as-usual, good ol' boys (and girls) club. If you think things are going to change, when your party (congressmen and women) and candidate for president are elected, think again. Today, both political parties are filled with opportunists. The day has passed when we can send our neighbors to Congress, to represent us.
It is as if we have chartered a bus. The bus is Representative Government and the bus driver is our Representatives. The problem is that the bus driver is drunk, drunk with power. The bus is now out of control and we are racing toward the edge of a precipice. Below is a quagmire of Islamic Terrorism and Illegal Immigration, waiting to swallow us. As we cry out, the bus driver is telling us to shut up and sit down.

Will we all be speaking Spanish in the near future?
This kid-glove approach to the illegal immigration dilemma is totally asinine. Some of us say that we are for building the fence, troops on the border, deporting illegal immigrant felons. In addition, maintaining English as the language of this country and having illegal immigrants pay taxes. But there are those who are against any restraints or negative stimulus to encourage illegal immigrants to go back to Mexico or other countries south of the border. If the illegal immigrants were coming from Ireland or Scotland, I would be protesting their intrusion. I have a Celtic surname but I don’t speak Celtic (Gaelic). I’m proud of my heritage but I’m an American first and Scottish second.
The Southern border fence is not going to be built any time in the near future.
There will never be enough troops put on the border to keep all of the Illegal immigrants out.
Deporting illegal immigrant felons after they assault, maim and kill US citizens is not going to keep our citizens safe.
Sending the message, that we don’t want them here illegally by legal restraints and legal negative stimulus, will discourage some of them from staying here.
No more sanctuary cities, anchor babies, or free handouts. No more working in this country or going to school, without a green card.
When was the last time you looked at all of the Spanish language TV and radio stations? When was the last time you were ask if you speak English or Spanish, when trying to place a telephone call in this country? Have you tried to order something at a fast food drive-in and your order was messed up because they didn’t speak English?
With all of the false documents out there, how do we know who is paying their taxes, driving without proper documentation (and insurance) or who is voting and is not a US citizen?
We are in state of flux, there are already millions of illegal immigrants in the country and the rate of illegal intrusions is not going to change or may even go up. Are we naïve enough to believe that we can absorb millions upon millions of illegal immigrants, without this country losing it’s identify. IF you are part of the elitist of this country, even you and your friends will not be able to hold back the tide of change, behind the walls of your gated communities, if the situation is not held in check.
None of the above solutions (fences, troops and etc.) by themselves are going to solve the problem. However, if we implement all or most of the solutions maybe in their totality, we can put a dent in the illegal immigration problem. The Native Americans helplessly watched their demise, as the hordes of immigrants from Europe swarm across their sacred lands. They lost their identity, cultures, lands, languages, religions, governments, nations and even their native existence as a race of tribal people. Today, their numbers in this country are on the verge of none existence. Is this the same fate that you want to pass on to your children’s children?
We live in harmony, side by side with our present legal Hispanic neighbors. Many of them have a long history in this country. I’ve had close friendships with a number of Hispanics and I am aware of their peoples’ struggles in this country. One friend owns land in Southwest Colorado, which was part of the Spanish land grants (going back to the seventeenth century). The other friend was from California and his Spanish heritage also goes back to the seventeenth century. My stepsister’s husband’s surname is Spanish and his family has a long history in Colorado and New Mexico. I have another sister whose daughter is also married to a Hispanic. On my wife’s side, she has family that is Hispanic. Our next-door neighbor for over twenty years was an Aztec Indian from Mexico. He spoke fluent English and so did my other Hispanic friends and family. This doesn’t mean that they were not also fluent in Spanish. But if we don’t do something soon, about the influx of illegal immigrants, the language of the land will become Spanish.
Adios mi amigo y muchas gracias por tu tiempo, yo hablo espanol un poco.
