Happy Birthday America , to bad your representation in Washington doesn't give a crap.

 As the post's title implies , I am not a happy camper this morning. The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays as it celebrates the birth of one of the greatest nations to grace the face of the planet. What makes America great is the freedoms we have and the diversity of peoples that inhabit it. I am not against immigration , this nation is a nation of immigrants and the wide range of cultures we have has contributed to its greatness.
  Currently though , we do have a problem with wide spread illegal immigration. Basically , the flooding of people across our southern border.  Much of this latest flood has been caused by our so called leaders in Washington DC total disregard for our nations laws. This country has laws regarding immigration that should work if enforced. The problem is , they have not been enforced and in fact the Obama administration had been keeping ICE officials at bay, in effect telling them to just not do their job and enforce the laws that are there to help protect this country.
  If you think that is an over statement consider that most of the 9-11 hijackers were in this country illegally and past their visa limits , had they been located back then and kicked out of the country we might not have had the tragedy of Sept. 11th .
 So what does that have to do with protecting this country from the current wave of immigrants?   After all , aren't they just children coming from harsh areas? Lets just ignore our laws ... do it for the children!  Yeah , RIGHT! That's the oldest and lamest trick in the book and yet people are falling for it hook line and sinker!
   It's been reported that not only are the people streaming in across our southern border show a blatant disregard for our laws they actually expect us to just take care of them once they get across the line. We also have obvious gang members in the ranks coming with the current wave. These are people  who will have no regard for our laws once they infiltrate into society. Along with the lawlessness of some, we have people coming in carrying diseases that are communicable. That in it's self is a national health risk. Then there is the issue of the financial burden dealing with this engineered mess. And yes , it has been engineered! Our politicians have basically invited them in with their lame self serving policies as they talked amnesty (in the form of immigration reform) . And why were they doing that, in part I admit our immigration policies could use a little reform but had the laws been enforced all along then we would not have had the issues causing the problems that need to be fixed in the first place. The politicians mainly have been talking reform to get the Latino vote! Its primarily been the Democrats doing it but the Republicans are guilty of this pandering as well.
 It never fails , the politicians talk reform /amnesty and there is a wave of people at the border flooding in. It's bullshit and the people in Washington should know it , they are suppose to be smart but to often they are just vote mongering leaches who are more concerned with getting re-elected and keeping a job that in their eyes elevates them above the little / common people.
 We have  Pelosi talking that we should use it as an opportunity to help all gods children. But, she apparently doesn't care about the unborn gods children that she is so willing to abort at the drop of a hat now is she? On that issue she is all about a woman's right to chose over "God's Children".
 We have Sheila Jackson Lee bringing lollypops to the kids and saying they pose no threat ... lets just ignore the economic impact , the diseases some carry or the fact that people are renting kids to get into the country by pretending they are families just so they can get into the country and the fact that some have gang affiliations.
  The simple fact is we have a lot of politicians in Washington DC right now that aren't doing their jobs and should not have the honor and privilege of representing us simply because they aren't representing us. They are pandering to special interest groups and catering to people who are not even in the country legally and have no intention of respecting our laws to begin with.

  So Happy Birthday America, In my opinion you deserve better than the leaders you currently have. This is an election year , don't forget to get rid of the people in government that don't represent you and pander to people they shouldn't!
    Until next time

Enough is enough!

I've been busy as of late so I haven't posted anything, but recent activities have prompted me to come back and comment. The subject matter is the careless disregard of law by our so called leaders in Washington D.C. I know the laundry list of the stuff they disregard daily is a long one but this one has been on the front burner for a while now and has resulted in really bad consequences. What I am referring to is the pandering to the Latino community by Washington in a quest for votes, no matter if the voters should even be in the county or not. Personally I find it rather disgusting that so many of the politicians have basically been pushing for amnesty for illegal aliens. This is the same crap they pushed threw back in the 80's and promised us they would secure the borders. That didn't happen and even more poured into the country.
  Now Obama took it upon himself to loosen the laws and hobble the immigration enforcement that is the protection for our country and what are we getting ? More illegals , some just children pouring into the country and being dumped into Arizona. Why Arizona? Simply because it was the one border state to stand up and say this is bull shit , we should do something about this problem! So to punish them they are getting the problem that this administration has caused dumped on them. I have news for everyone , Arizona had it right ! We need to stop illegal immigration!
  I realize that the administration isn't the only one to blame, the Democrats and Republican's have both been pandering to the illegals and Latinos hunting votes. It's typical Washington Bull Shit , they say to hell with the people they are suppose to represent and tow the PC line to get the big money donations. It boils down to Big money wanting cheep labor and destroying the middle class. The economic divide has been widening for years because of the upper class greed that wants more and more and more . Fuck the little guy , they don't matter , They just want more .. hell they want it all ! At least that seems to be the attitude they have.
     I saw the quest for a better bottom line using illegals back when I was building for one of the largest home builders in the country. Upper management turned a blind eye to using illegals in the interest of profit. They had their legal loop holes to get by the rules , basically hire a legal immigrant to hire all the other illegals and they all make money. Cut out of the loop though was all the indigenous workers who were out of work due to artificially deflated labor costs that illegals caused. And the old line .. "they are only doing the jobs Americans don't want to do" is total bull shit! When you hear that just insert the line " They are doing the jobs Americans can't do for that price because they paying shit loads of taxes and have a family and a mortgage to support, also the dollar doesn't go as far here as it does south of the border which is where a lot of the money they make goes!"
  I understand why people want to come to America , Believe me , I get it. But what the politicians don't tell you as they preach tolerance to the illegal's is the crime and lawlessness that also comes with them . Groups like MS13 are spreading threw out the country bringing drugs and violence with them.  
 A look over the southern border at the drug lords there show what is slowly creeping this way. Opening the floodgates like the politicians are doing is like rolling out the welcome mat to them. Is that what we want in the U.S.A.? I don't think so! But Obama , the bleeding heart liberals and the vote grubbing politicians on both sides of the isle are sure willing to turn a blind eye to the dark side of illegal immigration. Personally I am voting against any politician that supports amnesty, and I urge everyone else to do the same. We need less career politicians that pander to special interest groups and more actual representation up in Washington.
Until next time
