...just in case you haven't been following the cop killing in Denver on May 8th, you might be interested to learn that the Number One Suspect is none other than an Illegal Alien...
THAT'S RIGHT!
An ILLEGAL ALIEN.......
NOT an "undocumented worker"...
Hey, let's call a spade a spade here...
I am sick and tired of the political-correctness that I see every day in the media...especially in my hometown rag, the AZ Republic...
...these people come here under the stealth of darkness...without permission...without anything legal acknowledging access to our country and/or our services...WHICH, by the way are paid for with MY TAX DOLLARS (yours, too - you know)...
They are illegals...and it seems to me that if they are willing to ignore, flip off, and blatantly break our laws when they enter this country...why should we expect them to follow any rule of law once they are here?
I know...Denver has it's own set of issues and problems...and their situation wasn't helped when Executive Order 119 declared that the city would accept matricula consular cards issued by the Mexican consulate as official identification. The consulate notoriously issues these cards with little scrutiny to illegals with fraudulent identities....
...and it would be very easy to sit here and state "well, that's THEIR problem"...but - it really is OUR problem...
Once a precedent has been set...the clock starts ticking...and once a precedent has been set...others will use that benchmark to make their arguments that they should be granted the same "rights"...
I say enough...
ENOUGH!
We are dealing with millions of people...MILLIONS...that are now living here in the United States that have not one legal document granting them the right to be here...yet - daily - they are draining our health care system...overburdening our education system...and killing cops...
Mort Zukerman at US News gets it: How should Americans come to terms with the fact we now have more than 11 million people living here outside the rule of law? I refer, of course, to the shadow population of "undocumented workers" or "illegal aliens" that outnumbers threefold the American population at the founding of the republic!
If a proliferating community of illegal aliens is the price of immigration, most Americans feel it is simply too high. No poll has ever shown that Americans want more immigrants. In fact, more than half want fewer. Why? Illegal aliens are widely seen as undermining law enforcement and security, undercutting native-born workers, and diffusing the very identity of America...
We have to find the resolve to take remedial action now, before it is too late...
Our very lives depend upon it...and don't think for a moment that I am being dramatic or over-assessing the situation.
Mike Rosen over at the Rocky Mountain News gets it: Raul Garcia-Gomez might do for the cause of immigration reform what Ward Churchill has done for reform of leftist domination in academia. The alleged cop killer - Garcia-Gomez that is, not Churchill - has focused the spotlight on governmental and business laxity and duplicity in regard to immigration policy and enforcement....
Call me cold...call me callous...
I DON'T CARE
What I DO care about is this:
I don't want to see anymore cops gunned down by anyone...but MOST ESPECIALLY I don't want to read about an incident such as this being perpetrated by someone that shouldn't have been here in the first place...
