Pulling the Plug
Glenn Spencer -- October 20, 2008 -- See Today's Feature
Seven years ago I produced a video entitled "The Conquest of Aztlan" in which I made the case that Mexico is invading the United States with the intent of placing the Southwest under its jurisdiction. After spending six years on the border I haven't changed my mind.
To grant any form of amnesty to millions of illegal aliens would hand Mexico a victory in this demographic war. It would also doom us to become a Third-World nation of haves and have-nots, rather than a meritocracy.
John McCain once said he would rather lose and election than lose a war. I feel the same way. I would rather have John McCain lose the election than sacrifice my fundamental beliefs and vote for a man whose position on illegal immigration I believe to be ultimately fatal to the United States of America.
At the same time I cannot vote for a man whose position on illegal immigration is very close to John McCain, so I won't vote for Barack Obama either.
John McCain could easily win this election. As I had suggested earlier, during the last debate he could have said "In light of the current economic situation and the likelihood of much greater unemployment in the immediate future, I can no longer support a guest worker program and, as President, I would make sure that our immigration laws are enforced and that only legal workers are employed in America." Soon Americans are going to be fighting for jobs against at least 20 million illegal aliens but John McCain says nothing.
John McCain knows that many of our problems with the uninsured and our schools can be traced back to illegal immigration, but he says nothing.
There is a political action committee now running ads attacking Barack Obama for supporting drivers licenses for illegal aliens.
Hillary Clinton criticized Obama's stand on licenses for illegals, but John McCain says nothing.
Barack Obama has been working with radical left-wing open borders groups, many of them created by Saul Alinsky since the very outset of his political career. John McCain says nothing.
McCain promised to secure the border before moving on comprehensive immigration reform. He said he would look to governors of border states to certify that the borders are secure. McCain has also said he thinks the border fence is the least effective measure of control when it is the most effective.
American Border Patrol has produced survey data that prove that the government is not telling the truth about the border but the media refuse pass this on to the American People. If open-borers governors say the borders are secure when they aren't, the media will cover it up. John McCain knows this but says nothing.
It is true that Obama favors amnesty as much as McCain and he will have a Democrat Congress. But we will still have Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats and, facing an increasingly unemployed electorate, it is unlikely that the House of Representatives will pass an amnesty bill or even a limited guest worker bill.
But Obama can do a lot of damage. He can curtail job site enforcement and cut back on border fence construction. But remember, American Border Patrol will be there to report on what is happening on the border, if only on the Internet. The states are already cracking down on illegal workers using laws already on the books, and with the coming recession, their efforts will no doubt increase.
I believe we can survive this loss and live to fight another day.
McCain's commitment to amnesty is so complete that he is willing to sacrifice his bid for the presidency rather than appeal to the vast majority of Americans who oppose illegal immigration and amnesty.
I am going to help McCain be an amnesty martyr. I am going to the polls on November 4 and vote, but not for President. I will cast my vote on all issues and for Republican candidates, but I will not vote for president. I want to create a statistical hole in the election results. The hole will say "Against John McCain."
