Will Our Borders EVER Be Secure?

Drug Cartel threatens Arizona law officers after off duty cops bust drug smugglers. Police Chief Jeffrey Kirkham told Fox News he learned of the threat through an informer; "Mexican drug cartel will put them in its crosshairs if they conduct off-duty busts."

"The word was that these particular officers would be targeted if they were ever in that area again and were not on duty and intercepted any drug trafficking," Kirkham said. "It said they should look the other way."

Earlier this month two off-duty police officers were out for a leisurely horseback ride in an area east of the small Arizona border town of Nogales. They stumbled upon some drug smugglers and confiscated 400 pounds of marijuana. Unfortunately, the smugglers were able to get back across the basically unfenced border. The two unidentified (for obvious reasons) officers and the entire 62 member police force is on heightened alert. Kirkham has told them to be armed when they are off duty.

Now we have Mexican Nationals sending threats to our lawmakers because they seized the dope they were illegally smuggling into this country! But don't worry folks our borders are safe according to Napolitano and the idiot occupying the white House. They have the situation under control. In the areas where there is double reinforced fencing statistics show as much as a 95% decline in illegal invasion into this country. For some dumb reason the Department of Homeland does not think the fences work. States, cities and citizens across this country realize the great problem we have with the illegals and are having to take the bull by the horns and protect themselves because our "Slow Show Obama" just doesn't care about our country.

Get on the ball NOW, before it is too late Obama.

With this administration's continued disregard for our Federal Immigration Laws cities and states are being forced to make laws to uphold the Laws of the USA Constitution.

Everybody knows that SB 1070, Gov. Jan Brewer and the state of Arizona are being sued and challenged by cities, states, illegals, and even the countries of Mexico AND The United States of America!! People, organizations, cities, states and countries are boycotting Arizona, hurting the local businesses and industries. What a bunch of bull. I hope all the illegals go to your states and cities and you will have to support them.

Now even the Feds are getting in on the boycott. The cancellations to conventions by the Department of Education and of all things the U.S. Border Patrol are really big shockers. The cancellations of these two departments may be more to steer clear of controversy rather than to boycott.  Article 

The small town of Fremont Nebraska passed a law on June 21, 2010 to ban the hiring of or renting property to illegal aliens. Opposers of the new ordinance feel it will create discrimination. Of course the ACLU has said if the ordinance passed that would be considered racial profiling and they would sue. I'm sure the Department of Justice will also be going after the town of Fremont.

Sheriff Arvin West of Hudsbeth County, Texas tells the citizens of his county to arm themselves, he doesn't have the manpower to protect them. Don't worry The Texas Civillian Militia will be standing by!

What the heck has happened to this country? Bush at least did start to build the border fence, which the POTUS quickly halted upon taking office. Bush did not do much to deport all the illegals. But then again the borders have to be secured before we can do anything with the illegal aliens in this country. It is too easy for them to come right back.

My gosh, we have to do something, not only are illegal Mexican Nationals entering this country through our Southern borders but the Mexicans are training terrorist from the Mid East to act like Mexicans so they won't be so easily detected on our soil. Somolian Terrorist are noted for using the Mexico/USA border as a means for entering our VERY UNSECURED BORDER.

I just heard that Border Agents will now have a lower over time cap than they previously were allowed. Agents daily put in an average of 2 hours in overtime. The current overtime pay they are allowed to receive is $35,000, the cap will be lowered to $30,000 per year. Sounds like a lot doesn't it? I think not! Starting salary for Border Patrol Agents is a measley $36,600 to do such a hazardous job.  Related Article

It makes one wonder - Will we ever secure our Borders

or just have an open border for all to enjoy?

Despite Backlash Jan Brewer Stands Her Ground

Arizona's new immigration law has reached new highs. Not only are there protesters against the law, but supporters of the law are gathering in every state. The controversial law is setting forth precedents for other states to follow. Michigan, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania are a few states with legislation before their state congress. Texas along with other states are planning to introduce similar laws in the near future.
There is an overwhelming majority of American Citizens who are strongly want a law similar to Az to be enacted in their states.

The SB 1070 is already working! Although an accurate count can not be made at this time, one school district (still in session) said parents of 70 students yanked their kids out of school citing the new law as the reason. According to Homeland Security in 2007 a mass exodus of 100,000 took place, after Arizona enacted a similar law to this one. Reports of illegals saying no one will pick them up for day labor, they don't want to be harassed, it's racism are among the remarks being used from people leaving Arizona.

Sorry folks, it's the law! States have the duty to uphold Federal Laws and it is illegal to be in this country without proper documentation. Arizona is simply doing what the Federal Government refuses to do. Get with it and quit crying, go back to your cherished homeland you do not want to give up! Don't go to another state, soon that state too will wake up and give you the boot! More and more the citizens are waking up to the added expense the illegals are costing us. We don't want your drug dealers, kidnappers, murderers, human traffickers and illegals in this country. Obama wake up, your desire for amnesty for all illegals can not and should not happen!

Arizona has several law suits pending action. Organizations such as the ACLU, the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund, the National Immigration Law Center, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, ACLU of Arizona, National Day Laborer Organizing Network and the Asian Pacific American Legal Center (a member of the Asian American Center for Advancing Justice) have filed federal a lawsuit against the state's sheriffs and county attorneys.  Related article

There are many other lawsuits coming forth from Az police, a legal citizen from DC, illegal immigrants, the city of Tuscon and other organizations.   Related article

Arizona's Attorney General Terry Goddard (D) strongly opposes SB1070, and is named in the lawsuits. Gov. Brewer(R) believes there will be conflicts of interest if he is to represent the State of Arizona. Both are running on their respective parties tickets for Governor   Related article

It is not official yet, but Hillary Clinton announced Thurs. 6/17/10 that The Department of Justice is filing suit against Arizona. She announced it on Ecuador TV. Apparently Clinton does not have the authorization to make such an announcement.

Besides the lawsuits to contend with Governor Jan Brewer has to deal with the support of all the illegal last year Arizona dished out a whopping $2.7 billion. The state also has to deal with all the drug cartels and human traffickers. The border towns are on constant alert to watch for the danger. The citizens of her state overwhelming want border security. Cries for help go unanswered from the Federal Government.

Yesterday was two weeks since the 'anointed one' blessed her with a few minutes of his time. Within the last two weeks he was supposed to send a committee to assess the situation along the border. As is common with Slow Show Obama nothing has been done. Quite a while back the border states were promised 1200 troops and allocated $5 million. I think the troops are now aiding the Gulf Coast States, to heck with Arizona!

Arizona is introducing another bill that the state will not issue birth certificates to Anchor Babies. Read my previous article "Deporting US Citizens" about the 14th Amendment and it's proposed meaning.

Cities, States, and organizations are boycotting Arizona for doing what the Federal Government Refuses to do! RednecksForAmericans.com has a petition to boycott ALL the Boycotters of Arizona. Show your support, sign the petition now!

I believe the companies, individuals, cities and states who are against Arizona and their strong stance on illegal immigration do not want the borders closed. They are trying to pass amnesty for ALL the illegals, which in the end will destroy this great country. For years the Socialistic Democrats have fought for illegal rights. It is time to stand up against them and let our Congress members know we don't want amnesty for the illegals. That can not be even discussed until we have SECURED OUR BORDERS. If we started amnesty and leave the borders open, we will be consumed with illegals.

Since when does an illegal have the right to sue a state in which they are living? I think that is an outrage and a farce to our justice system. There should not be any laws that protect the rights of illegal lawbreakers. Immediate deportation should be enacted as soon as an illegal is identified. This sleazy administration needs to get on the ball and whip this country back together. Read the understand the Constitution Congress don't make us another Socialistic third world country.

Mexican Government Stay Out

The Mexican government does not want the illegals deported to their homeland. It is bad enough that President Calderon lashed out on the United States Congress telling them Arizona's law is racist. They are now helping the illegals stay in the United States! In a push to legalize Mexican illegals the Mexican consular will issue identification cards to them on Catalina Island (off the coast of California). These matricular cards are issued without any background checks or research to Mexican nationals residing outside their country regardless of immigration status. Supposedly it is similar to US passports and other legal documentation issued by our government.


Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-Ca) was in a verbal battle as to the legality of the Mexican Consular issuing ID's to illegal immigrants. Rohrabacher feels "The Mexican government is abusing their agreement with our State Department that allows them to provide appropriate off-site consular services for replacing expired passports by providing documents to illegal aliens."Ricardo Alday, senior spokesman for the Mexican Embassy in Washington denies the issuance of matricular cards to Mexican illegals does not pose a security risk to the U.S.


The Mexican government is issuing the matricular cards from a satellite consular office. It was originally located at the Catalina Island Country Club and has been moved to St. Catherine's Catholic Church, citing protection under the Vienna Convention.
As to the Catholic Church hosting this activity Rep. Rohrabacher said, "If the Catholic Church insists on preventing immigration law from being enforced, then they should step up and pay the bill."


According to The Examiner who spoke with U.S. Immigration officials the Mexican officials requested Federal and State law enforcement agencies not to intervene in the distribution of ID cards to Mexican citizens.


"Basically, a foreign government inserted itself into my congressional district to provide passports and matricular cards to individuals illegally in the U.S. and residing on Catalina Island," Rohrabacher said. "The Mexican government's action is a declaration that Catalina is their turf. And I'm here to let Mexican government know that this is not acceptable."


Banks and institutions in the U.S. accept the matricular card for identification purposes, especially since many of the illegals now wire money back to Mexico and they pick up a fee for the service. Law enforcement cites the card as unreliable. Why do legal immigrants need a card like that since they already have paperwork.

• The matricular cards are only good for illegals.
• 13 states allow holders of the cards to obtain drivers licenses, they feel it is safer since they will drive anyway to have drivers test and insurance.
• There are no safeguards in the issuance of the cards, no data files or comparison checks are used. 
• Consequently many illegals have numerous cards all with their pictures under different names.

The only requirement to obtain the matricular card is to have a birth certificate or certified copy, a photo ID, proof of residency in the are and appear in person. The documentation is not authenticated on the local levels.  It is suspected many legal immigrants and natural citizens who are in trouble with the law obtain these cards under a false name.


We and the Mexican government know the illegals are good at counterfeiting and forgery. We have illegal Mexican nationals who are able to obtain drivers licenses, apply for food stamps, welfare and schooling for their children. Most of them do not pay taxes and send the majority of their money to Mexico.
Mexico has long wanted to have an arrangement with the United States to allow illegals to remain citizens of Mexico and live off our government. An open border between the two countries is their ideal plan.


For far too long the United States has turned a blind eye at the Mexican illegal problem. Mexico has often asked us to be lenient and let some of our laws slide. An unidentified ICE official told Washington Examiner, "It amazes me every time that the Mexican government has the gall to tell us what to do. More surprisingly is how many times we stand by and let them. This is just an example of one of hundreds of requests we've had to deal with."


It is unbelievable to think our government would consider some of the requests the Mexican government has issued. We need stricter regulations for our borders and the illegal problem in this country. This is the land of the free, but are we turning into wusses who are not brave enough to stand up for the laws our forefathers fought so hard to obtain. Since when does Mexico or any other country have the right to ask us to change our laws so they better fit their agenda of their Nationals? This has got to be stopped and changed, but not with the current administration. Nothing will be resolved except a free hand out to a bunch of freeloaders. Listen to this call a lady made to Michael Savage on his talk show. If this is what the citizens of our country believe, we are in deep S---!

Backdoor Obama Strikes Again

How did this get past all of us? Our anti-American leader has pulled another one over us. Last Friday a brief was filed with the Supreme court asking them to make a special exemption for businesses who break the law by hiring illegals.

All states run a criminal check of individuals applying for a business license. The states individually determine what crimes would disqualify a person from obtaining a license. A business owner could have his license revoked if he commits a crime.

I find it interesting that Janet Napolitano, while still governor of Az in 2007 signed a law adding businesses who hired illegal aliens to the list of crimes that could revoke one's license. Whatever made Napolitano sign a bill into law like that and now change her mind?

In Obama's obsession to challenge Arizona's new law he wants the Supreme Court to say that the individual states do not have the right to make their own laws. That's right, he wants to take away a state's right to determine what are crimes! He is trying to take away the right of individual states to uphold Federal laws.

"Those provisions disrupt a careful balance that Congress struck nearly 25 years ago between two interests of the highest importance: ensuring that employers do not undermine enforcement of immigration laws by hiring unauthorized workers, while also ensuring that employers not discriminate against racial and ethnic minorities legally in the country," Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal wrote the Supreme Court. "There is no reason to believe that Congress intended a result that would subvert the purpose and operation of its general prohibition on state sanctions."

I wonder why since there are so many dems in Congress he doesn't just have them pass a new law stating the states can not make it a crime for hiring illegals? Why go through the Supreme Court. Maybe he doesn't think this bill will pass...

Approaching the Supreme Court to rewrite laws is disrespectful to the rule of law. But then when has this administration showed any respect for this country or its laws? It is a Federal Law to be in the US illegally, it is illegal to hire an illegal immigrant.

It more than likely is a ploy to banish the Az law and prove to every one that only the Federal government is authorized to handle immigration issues. We all know how Obama feels about the law.

Let's contact our Congress and let them know we do not approve of this administration,s intrusion into State Laws. This arrogant person wants to control each and every one of us and our States too. I wonder what deceit he will throw at us next?

I can't wait until November - better yet 2012.

Time For Truth Or Consequences!

Rep. Joe Sestak(D-Pa) has often stated he was offered a job by the Obama Administration if he would drop out of the Senatorial primary race in Pennsylvania running against Sen. Arlen Specter(D-Pa) Spector long time Republican, turned Democrat last year in the hope he would win the Senate seat back, fearing he couldn't beat the Republican contender. Sestak refused the job offer and won the Dem primary.
Was Sestak being offered a bribe from White House personnel?
"They tried to bribe me out of the race by offering me a job."  Repeatedly Sestak has said "I'm not lying."

If Sestak is not lying, then someone in the The Big "O" Administration is in deep shit!

Dick Morris appeared on the Sean Hannity show May 25 and had the following to say:
"Obviously, the offer of a significant job in the White House could not be made unless it was by Rahm Emanuel or cleared with Rahm Emanuel," he said. If the job offer was high enough that it also had Obama's apppoval, "that is a high crime and misdemeanor."

Hannity asked him if was an impeachable offense, Morris replied "Absolutely."

Karl Rove on Greta Van Susteran's "On the Record" show revealed the some of the laws regarding this.
"Look, that's a violation of the federal code: 18 USC 600 says that a federal official cannot promise employment, a job in the federal government, in return for a political act.

"Somebody violated the law. If Sestak is telling the truth, somebody violated the law," Rove said. "Section 18 USC 211 says you cannot accept anything of value in return for hiring somebody. Well, arguably, providing a clear path to the nomination for a fellow Democrat is something of value.

He continued, citing a third law passage: "18 USC 595, which prohibits a federal official from interfering with the nomination or election for office. ... 'If you'll get out, we'll appoint you to a federal office,' – that's a violation of the law."

Robert Gibbs, White House Press Secretary said White House Lawyers have looked into the matter and fount nothing inappropriate.

"I've said all I'm going to say on the matter. … Others need to explain whatever their role might be," Sestak said on CNN this week. "I have a personal accountability; I should have for my role in the matter, which I talked about. Beyond that, I'll let others talk about their role."

According to Politico, the Justice Department has rejected a request from Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., for a special counsel to investigate and reveal the truth of the controversy. Issa told Politico "The attorney general's refusal to take action in the face of such felonious allegations undermines any claim to transparency and integrity that this administration asserts."

Of Sestak, Issa said "Joe Sestak has a moral imperative to come forward and expose who within the Obama Administration tried to bribe him."

We should all contact our Representatives and Senators insisting on a full investigation into this. Ha, maybe this will be something Obama can't get out of. Let's put more pressure on Rep. Joe Sestak to reveal more of the incident. It is understandable Sestak doesn't want to upset his position with Democrats and the White House, especially with elections coming up in November. Morally he is obligated to expose all the details for the best interest of this country. I believe Sestak was offered a bribe from the White House, We The People want to know the truth. Who is behind this bribe? Did Obama Know About It? Someone needs to be prosecuted for their actions. ..mmm impeach Obama? That's definitely not out of the question.
Let's get to the bottom of this and let the guilty one suffer the consequences no matter who he or she is!

The Haunting Of Ground Zero

Muslim Terrorists are on the rise in the US. The shocker is that we are discovering they are Home Grown. With so much controversy over the Muslims in this country a fear is growing among our citizens. I realize and want to emphasize that not all Muslims are terrorists, and should not be treated as such.

We know the Twin Towers were blown up on 9/11/01 by Muslim Terrorists. Nearly 3,000 people were killed, 300 of whom were Muslims and many more seriously and permanently injured. Unfortunately that act of terrorism has caused us to be very cautious and critical of the Muslim world.

On 9/11/11, the tenth anniversary of The Twin Towers Bombing a 13 story Mosque is to be opened just 2 blocks from Ground Zero! The "community center" will include a swimming pool, sports facilities, theatre, meeting rooms and a place for some 2,000 to gather for prayer on Fridays. There will also be a Muslim Culture display and will be open to the public. (As they haven't begun construction I do not foresee that date being reached.) I have heard that date was chosen to honor all the victims and families of the tragedy.

Nihad Awad, the Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) stated "building this mosque is the solution not the problem, because Islam calls for rapprochement with other religions and…a culture of moderation."
In an attempt to bring hope to the Muslim Community of NY and all New Yorkers to move on from the 9/11 attack Cordoba House will be built.

Daisy Khan, Executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA) says; "For us, it's a symbol, a platform that will give voice to the silent majority of Muslims who suffer at the hands of extremists. A center will show that Muslims will be part of rebuilding lower Manhattan," adding that Cordoba will be open to everyone.

The property was purchased by Muslim investors and is located in a zone that qualifies for the Mosque to be built. They are having problems with the finances but feel certain they will get the funds. Many are speculating where the money may come from and feel any donations should be transparent. The estimated cost of this structure is over $100 million.

There are many people and organizations fighting a Muslim shrine being built just 600 feet from Ground Zero.
A rally against the mosque is planned for June 6, D-Day, by the human-rights group Stop Islamicization of America. Executive director Pamela Geller said, "What could be more insulting and humiliating than a monster mosque in the shadow of the World Trade Center buildings that were brought down by an Islamic jihad attack? Any decent American, Muslim or otherwise, wouldn't dream of such an insult. It's a stab in the eye of America."

Madeline Brooks, a member of the New York chapter of Act! for America, a non-profit organization that "is opposed to the authoritarian values of Islam fascism," believes the Cordoba Initiative's agenda is to co-opt the 9/11 narrative and transform it into a Muslim conquest.

"Is it a victory for Islam over non-Muslims?" she asks. "Is this a feather in his (Rauf's) cap?"

Brooks says she's received hundreds of angry e-mails from people who say they can't believe the audacity of this project. "Why here?" she asks. "Why are you offending and outraging people... stirring up a huge hornet's nest?"

In response Rauf says "This is where we can amplify the voice of the moderates," he says. "We have been condemning terrorism since 9/11; our voices have not been heard."

Awad added that "the Muslims should reassure the American people by disseminating correct information about Islam, which is a religion of peace and love." He also said that "there are supporters and businessmen who are overseeing the [mosque] project, and they are also concerned with putting forward a culture of dialogue."

This center will be open to the public with the hope it will bring in the local tenants and tourists to enjoy their facilities. They also want to teach the American people and people around the world what they're true culture is. They are classifying this as a community project. These people believe Muslim is now an American religion.

Many people from New York do support the Mosque, but most don't respect the location it will be located at. They feel it is like betrayal to the victims and their families of 9/11. Ground Zero is considered sacred ground by millions of people and the arrival of the Mosque in the neighborhood has brought much horror to them. Why should we honor the Muslim faith when that faith has done so much to harm us and our country?

I believe there are many wonderful Muslims in America and they have a terrible road ahead of them. Most of us do not know or understand their religion and at this point we don't care to. All we know is that Muslims attacked our country on our soil; killed our brothers, sisters, Moms, Dads and children. The attacks are becoming more in number and many fear for their safety.

Can we find it in our hearts to forgive the honest decent Muslims for the acts of a Nation who holds contempt against us?  The Mosque may be a good idea, but should be located somewhere not overlooking Ground Zero.

For the sake of humanity I think we should distinguish between the two groups.

"No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America." Section 8

"The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing." Section 8j Flag Code

People who live in this wonderful country of ours generally show "Old Glory" the proper respect. Unbelievably there are some people who say they are US citizens, or who want to be here who deliberately disrespect the United States Flag.

No flag shall be flown above the United States flag on our soil. Most of us have heard and seen disrespect shown to our Nation's Flag. We regrettably disrespect the flag with our logo - nothing should be placed upon Old Glory! We did not intend to disrespect but to show the beauty of the Bald Eagle, Our National Symbol, along with the Glorious US Flag. They both represent the Freedom our Country has maintained for so many years. Flags are worn on our hats shirts etc, but we are not supposed to wear them as an article of clothing. I believe the disrespect so many of us are showing can be overlooked with the Patriotic meaning it portrays.

To boldly and blatantly disrespect our flag is to show disrespect for this Country and cannot be tolerated. Old Glory is constantly being abused.

On October 5, 2007 the Hispanic owner of a local bar in Reno, Nevada flew the Mexican Flag above the USA Flag on the same pole. Evidently he did not care that it is very abusive to this Country. Refusing to take it down he stated no one has the guts to do anything about it. Jim Brossard, US Army Veteran, was appalled when he heard this. He drove to the location in downtown Reno, there were TV cameras already at the scene. Bravely Jim got out of his vehicle and walked up to the flagpole and cut the rope and pulled down the two flags. He carefully made sure the Flag of the United States Of America was not abused. Hurriedly folding it up he allowed the Mexican Flag to fall to the ground.

Jim walked away carrying the American flag with him and said to the cameraman they'd have to fight to get it back. Unedited video of Jim "Rescuing the flag."

Young Patriot, Nick Morris, sophomore at Klein Collins High School and ROTC Recruit, from Spring, Tx. removed a Mexican Flag from a hallway corridor because there were no American Flags flying higher. Not knowing what to do with the flag, he threw it away. He was suspended from school for 3 days. He must make restitution for the missing flag. Read related article at RednecksForAmericans click on Radical Richard's Corner.

On March 27, 2006 800-1,000 students Marched in protest of Congress' debates over immigration policies and the potential of cracking down on illegal immigrants. Their protest ended up at Montebello High School where they lowered the school's flags and raised the Mexican Flag with the US Flag beneath it. Not only did they disrespect Old Glory and Sovereignty of our country but they flew our flag upside down (meaning in dire distress.) The school's California State Flag was stolen by them. Fortunately for the students of Montebello, they were on lock down and inside the school.

To destroy our Flag is to destroy the dignity of our Country. Old Glory must never touch the ground, but you see so much vandalism from these protesters, stomping the flag into the ground, burning it, one man actually had a dog leash and was dragging the flag like a dead dog! They seem to feel they need to curse our Country and the Citizens.We are beginning to see so many demonstrations of this sort lately. What these people people want is for us to open our borders and give them our Country and all the benefits that go with Freedom. Evidently the illegals desire to live in this Country, but they do not want to respect us and our rules. Most of them do not contribute anything to our Country.

My gosh if you cant' respect us just get the heck out of here. You came here because you wanted to. If you don't like it here simply swim back across the border or just turn yourself in, INS will get you home!


Please do not disrespect our Flag and Country. We The People have been quiet for too long and let our great Country be abused. These people should be arrested and punished for their abusive ways.
