Obama and Calderon On Immigration

Allen Frederick Leave a comment

Talk talk talk. Does anyone besides me find it ironic that the number violator of our borders Calderon comes into our country and tells us what we need to do about illegal immigration? And then we have the second biggest offender of immigration law enforcement standing next to him bobbing his head in agreement? I find this whole press conference offensive. What our President needed to say was HEY CALDERON get your own house in order before coming over here and lecturing to us. Or better still, how about if you respect our borders as much as you would like us to respect yours.

Illegal Activity of Illegal Aliens Equals a Good Citizen?

Allen Frederick Leave a comment

Does this individual appear to you to be interested in making America a better place to live for everyone or rather like someone who thinks America owes him something just because he says so? Well obviously the latter is the case. So now I ask you if an individual performs an illegal act does that make the person guilty of an illegality? If so then is it okay to call them criminals? Okay if it is okay to call someone breaking the law a criminal then how come people who trespass on private property are not considered criminals but instead they are considered necessary to our economy? The individual in this picture obviously thinks America owes him health care, a job, tax free income, a house and all the food he wants to eat, paid for by someone else. And apparently our President agrees with this sentiment because he thinks these folks should be given a pathway to citizenship.

May I See Your Identification?

Random Ramblings from the Resident Raptor.

Insight for your “Journey across the Sky”

A View from the Nest www.eagleviews.org

Decent people will live in the land. People of integrity will remain in it. But wicked people will be cut off from the land and treacherous people will be torn from it. Prov 2:21-22 (GW)

Several centuries before Christ, Alexander the Great came out of Macedonia and Greece to conquer the Mediterranean world. On one of his campaigns, Alexander received a message that one of his soldiers had been continually, and seriously, misbehaving and thereby shedding a bad light on the character of all the Greek troops. And what made it even worse was that this soldier’s name was also Alexander. When the commander learned this, he sent word that he wanted to talk to the errant soldier in person. When the young man arrived at the tent of Alexander the Great, the commander asked him, “What is your name?” The reply came back, “Alexander, sir.” The commander looked him straight in the eye and said forcefully, “Soldier, either change your behavior or change your name.” This story has a lesson for each of us. When we call ourselves Americans, we are identifying with this nation and the principles upon which it was established. When we swear allegiance to the flag we stand with others to defend the Constitution of these United States of America. We are being . identified with the United States of America. Is your behavior compatible with that name and with the symbol that shows that you are an American?

Arizona is soon to enact what some say is an ill-conceived immigration enforcement act. This statute does not affect other states, nor is it enforceable across state lines. The law strictly forbids police officers to ask an individual for identification unless the officers encounter a suspect while in the course of enforcing another infraction of the state statutes. For an example; a person walking down the street of downtown Phoenix should not, and can not, be detained by police and questioned to produce identification unless that person has committed a crime. Seems to me the bill is reasonably restrictive.

Compare that to the law that requires identification when purchasing cough medicine at the local Target. Which seems to be more reasonable to you? To be asked to produce identification after being stopped for breaking a law or being asked to produce ID to buy over-the-counter cough medicine? If you answered the cough medicine then you must be a liberal democrat set on demonizing legitimate behavior in order to legitimize illegitimate behavior.

Another example would be the mandatory, random drug tests administered to commercial drivers. Isn’t this an invasion of one’s privacy also? Is there proof or suspicion that the person being tested is using an illegal substance? If there is no reasonable suspicion that they are under the influence of drugs or alcohol then why are they being required to submit to a random test? Shouldn’t people who show signs of the possibility of being under the influence have to take a random drug test? Why should someone who has never used drugs or alcohol have to be subjected to this form of interrogation? Why aren’t the picket sign carrying activists protesting this injustice? Or are only those who actually commit a crime entitled to political action?

Why must law-abiding citizens be treated like suspects when there is NO Reasonable suspicion that these citizens are doing anything illegal? Well that is the rationale being used to justify opposition to the Arizona immigration enforcement bill.

Constantly we hear the din of political activists demonizing the Arizona bill for profiling illegal aliens and yet everyday many law-abiding, natural-born, citizens are asked to produce their identification. If it is reasonable that I should have to show my photo ID to the cashier at Target to purchase over-the-counter cough medicine, then it is just as reasonable for a suspected immigrate to be asked to present ID to a police officer. I wonder what illegal aliens produce when they buy cough medicine at their local Target?

L.A. Mayor Believes Illegal Immigration Adds to State Economy

Allen Frederick 3 Comments

I hear the cuckoo birds calling on this story. WARNING: LOON ALERT! You have been warned. Proceed with caution but be careful as to not get bit by the loony bird.

Washington (CNSNews.com) – Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa told CNSNews.com Thursday that illegal immigration has not contributed to his city’s budget problems, but, on the contrary, that illegal immigration adds to the “economic might” of California.

“In California, I think there’s a real sense that these immigrants provide a great deal to the economic might of the state,” said Villaraigosa.

Facing a state budget shortfall of more than $18 billion, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is expected today to release a revised state budget for the state fiscal year that begins on July 1 that will include dramatic cuts in state programs.

Villaraigosa supported the move the Los Angeles City Council took this week to approve a boycott of the state of Arizona because of a new Arizona law that requires local law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of persons they legally come into contact with when there is a reasonable basis to suspect that person is an illegal alien. After Villaraigosa testified at a congressional hearing on Thursday, CNSNews.com asked him what impact illegal immigration has had on the fiscal situation of his city, which is now running a $485 million deficit.

Villaraigosa told CNSNews.com he believes immigration in general is a net plus for the country, that most of the estimated 12 million people in the country illegally contribute to the “economic might of the nation,” and that the illegal immigrants in California contribute to the “economic might of the state.”

They say a picture is worth a thousand words so here you have Mr Villaraigosa speaking in his own words: you can’t make this stuff up.

Today’s Los Angeles Times had this report:

Al Gore, former Vice President of the United S...

Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have added a Montecito-area property to their real estate holdings, reports the Montecito Journal.

The couple spent $8,875,000 on an ocean-view villa on 1.5 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, a real estate source familiar with the deal confirms. The Italian-style house has six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms. ARTICLE SOURCE
In a speech April 28 in Iowa City President Obama made a few comments about the Arizona bill enforcing Federal law on illegal immigration. He said:
…this law that just passed in Arizona — which I think is a poorly conceived law –you can try to make it really tough on people who look like they, “might be illegal immigrants.” One of the things that the law says is local officials are allowed to ask somebody who they have a suspicion might be an illegal immigrant for their papers. But you can imagine, if you are a Hispanic American in Arizona — your great-grandparents may have been there before Arizona was even a state.
Here is the video of the whole speech, listen if you dare.

Then today Barack Obama went off the TelePrompter in his speech to a Quincy, Illinois audience about Wall Street reform. After saying that Democrats dont begrudge success thats “fairly earned,” Obama then ad-libs and reveals more about himself than he probably wanted:

Were not, were not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success thats fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point youve made enough money. But, you know, part of the American way is, you know, you can just keep on making it if youre providing a good product or providing good service. We dont want people to stop, ah, fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy. Source

Check it out yourself if you do not believe me: Illinois Speech

According to our President, illegal immigrants have as much right to be here as those who actually took the time to become legal citizens, and Arizona passed a poorly conceived law, which only enforces Federal law but according to Obama enforcing any law is poorly conceived because if you remember he said the same thing about the Cambridge police when they arrested Professor Gates:

So I think I have this whole remake America thing figured out. Let’s get back to Al Gore’s new home. Apparently Al and Tipper, according to Obama, have more than enough money already therefore I think it only proper that we spread the wealth around a bit (another position of our historic President). This is what I propose:

We need to truck in 8 families of illegal immigrants, along with ladders to scale the walls, to Al and Tipper Gore’s new mansion. Since they have the right to share in America’s wealth then they should be allowed to take up residence in Al and Tipper’s many bedrooms. With 5 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms this has to be more wealth than any two people need. The Montecito Police will not be allowed to arrest these folks because they were here first according to Obama and it is because of them America exists. We might as well throw in a few native American’s as well to fill up this mansion nicely since they were here before Al Gore was and that land has to belong to one of their great great great grandfathers.

There apparently are many who share this philosophy that gate crashers and squatters have as much right to be here as the legal occupants do. So what do you say Al? Mi amigo, Su Casa Mi Casa. Si senor?
