In the Congress in the 1980s amnesty was granted to 2.5
million illegal aliens as part of a compromise to close
loopholes in immigration laws. Employers of illegals
would suffer severe fines and possible imprisonment.
Unfortunately only the amnesty of illegals was real.
The laws have not been enforced because politicians need
votes to stay in office. Even though they take an oath to
"support and defend the Constitution against all enemies
foreign and domestic", they choose to protect themselves at
the sacrifice of the Constitution and the rule of law.
Congress should immediately pass the following:
Citizenship shall not be granted on the basis of an illegal
act.
This will make the 14th Amendment more clear. It
currently has two requirements for citizenship:
1) All persons born or naturalized in the United States,
and
2) subject to the jurisdiction thereof
It is clear to me that a pregnant female who enters the
United States illegally for the purpose of having the baby
born in the United States is not subject to the jurisdiction
thereof!
It is clear that all babies born under such illegal
circumstances are not citizens. Lindsey Graham is wrong to
grandfather these pawns of criminals. We welcome legal
immigrants, but we are a nation of laws - although the Federal
Government seems to have forgotten that.
Consider the absurdity of the wife of an Ambassador to
the United Nations or other foreign diplomat gaining
citizenship for her newborn. Diplomats are not subject to the
jurisdiction thereof. They and their families have "diplomatic
immunity." Those who enter the United States illegally are
also not subject to the jurisdiction thereof. By their actions
they reject that jurisdiction!

Thomas Jefferson on the Size of Government
I think, myself, that we have more machinery of government
than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor
of the industrious.

Declaration of Independence from the USSA
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them
with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the
separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of
nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel
them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident:
That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men, deriving their just power
from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of
government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the
people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government,
laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in
such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and
happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long
established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and
accordingly all experience has shown that mankind are more
disposed to suffer, while evils are bearable, than to right themselves
by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a
long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same
object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism,
it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and
to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the
patient sufferance of these states; and such is now the necessity
which constrains them to alter their former systems of government.
The history of the present President is a history of repeated injuries
and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an
absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be
submitted to a candid world:
He has appointed "special assistants", czars, who have not been
consented to by the peoples' Senate and are not subject to the
peoples' Congress.
He has fired an Inspector General, overseer of government for the
people, without following established procedure.
He has fired a Commanding General for criticizing the current
civilian administration.
He has given enemy combatants the status of "criminal" with rights
equal to an American citizen.
He has not enforced the laws concerning immigration, forcing the
states to enforce Federal law.
He has accelerated the nationalization of industries begun by the
previous President. Banking, Automotive manufacturing, Insurance,
Health Care, Housing, Education, etc have been significantly
nationalized.
Under the disguise of fiscal stimulus, he has repaid those that
put him in office.
He has invalidated contract law by placing the UAW in front of the
bondholders during the bankruptcy of GM and Chrysler.
He has given aid and comfort to enemies of America while
slighting our historic allies.
He suppressed an EPA report questioning the validity of global
warming. The GW "crisis" is necessary to pass the onerous "cap
and Trade" legislation which is really control and tax.
His administration has failed to regulate oil exploration, and
the largest spill in history now threatens our environment.
He proposes yet another hidden tax with the value-added tax.
He has increased the debt and unfunded liabilities of the nation
at an unsustainable pace.
He and his Democrat-controlled Congress have "deemed" the
2011 budget passed - abdicating the responsibility to pass
specific appropriations legislation.
He has ignored the Constitution and has made America a nation
without the rule of law.

Progressive Presidents in America
Please examine the three Progressive Presidents of the
United States of America: Woodrow Wilson, Franklin
Delano Roosevelt and Barack Obama.
During Wilson's term, the Income Tax, Popular Election
of Senators and Prohibition Amendments were passed.
Millions of American lives were lost in a world war.
He tried to form a one world confederation.
During FDR's terms, the New Deal was passed. Most of it
was unConstitutional, and it was also a failure. The
precedent from 1921 was ignored. Unemployment was above
18%, and the deficit increased over 500%. Millions of
American lives were lost in a world war.
During Obama's term, taxpayers have become owners of banks,
insurance companies and car companies. There are unelected
czars running an ever-increasing part of our world. He has
alienated Israel and the U.K. - two of our best allies. He
has nationalized medical care. He has used "stimulus money"
as political money. Progressive states which have been
bankrupted by liberal policies will be bailed out as federal
taxpayers pay for generous salaries and retirements for
firefighters, police and teachers. All banks will be
punished for the misdeeds of a few banks. Congress has taken
no blame and has protected Fannie, Freddie and the Federal
Reserve - the three largest villains. When an Inspector
General uncovers improprieties, he is fired. When a General
disagrees publicly, he is fired. A failure to properly
regulate deep water drilling has allowed him to implement an
anti-carbon moratorium on drilling - again punishing all for
the few. His anti-business policies have made this the "Great
Recession." The Constitution has been ignored. We no longer
have a "rule of law."

NAFTA passed as an Act rather than a Treaty
The House of Representatives approved NAFTA on November 17,
1993, by a vote of 234 to 200. The agreement's supporters
included 132 Republicans and 102 Democrats. NAFTA passed the
Senate 61-38. Clinton signed it into law on December 8, 1993;
it went into effect on January 1, 1994.
Note that 61 is not 2/3 of the Senators present which is the
constitutional requirement to ratify a treaty. The "treaty"
was sent to the House of Representatives where it passed 234
to 200. I am not sure how an Act of Congress may affect Mexico
and Canada. The process itself smells!

Are They Really Sincere?
The Teamsters Union business agent was confined to the hospital.
A bouquet was sent, with a note reading:
“The Executive Board wishes you a speedy recovery, by a vote of
nine to six.”

Don Obama and his faithful companion Sancho Emanuel
Obama's fixation on alternative energy can be easily
compared to that of Don Quixote and his windmill.
The windmill is the savior rather than the villian for
Don Obama and his faithful companion Sancho Emanuel.
The fixation has distracted Don Obama from centuries
of supply of domestic, cleaner-burning natural gas which
could totally end the U.S. dependence on imported oil.
As we watch the oil from a deep-water well threaten the
beaches and ecosystems of the Gulf region, blame the
environmentalists and the government (and inept regulators)
for forcing off-shore and, in particular, deep-water
drilling. If the same subsidies were available for natural
gas as for wind and solar, then you would see the U.S.
transformed within a decade!
We currently sell our soul at 9.7 million barrels of imported
oil each day at $71.20/barrel.
China is building coal-fired power plants every week, but
they are also building state-of-the-art nuclear plants. Our
roles may be reversed in a decade.
