INVASION MUST BE SAFE, ORDERLY, AND LEGAL
By Mark Andrew Dwyer -- January 18, 2005

While current mass "migration" of Mexicans into the U.S. enrages some 80% of American citizens that want to see it stopped, President Bush and his compassionately "conservative" cronies in Washington act as if they were deaf (in addition to some of them being mentally retarded).

- Huh? What did you say? - they ask American people. - Did you want an immigration reform? We'll give you a reform, alright. Your grievances were just: migration must be safe, orderly, and legal. And we'll make it such.

As if our only wish about over million Mexican "migrants" jumping the American border each year in search of "better lives" (read: new breeding grounds and someone to foot the bill for rearing their countless kids) was that these "migrants" don't expose themselves on risks while "migrating" to the U.S., that they come neatly in organized groups, and that they are provided with proper documents that would legalize their stay here. As if we were saying that we don't mind losing our country to "migrating" hordes as long as it's done in a nice and civilized way. As if enforcement of America's border and her immigration laws, never mind the U.S. Constitution that does not allow for any "migration" (nor have any mention of it), weren't even an option.

Our ruling elites agree: invasion should be safe, legal, and orderly. They will outmatch each other in their proposals how to make sure that the free flow of people from Mexico into the U.S. continues smoothly and unobstructedly, bringing with it new laborers, new customers, new buyers, new soldiers (badly needed to enforce Iraq's border), new union members, and new voters. And Catholic clergy, mindful of their new parishioners, gives its seal of approval to calls for immigration law overhaul.

You see, President Bush, who has often described himself as a "Uniter", is really reaching out to Democratic Party (most conspicuously, to the veteran mass immigration champion, Sen. Edward Kennedy) trying to find a common ground. And, it seems, he has found it. His idea of injecting millions of Mexican "migrants" into American society in a legal, orderly, and safe way gained him high marks among many ranking Democrats. Too bad that he was not trying to reach out to Democratic voters a majority of whom seem as frustrated with Federal government's blatant unwillingness to enforce the border and uphold the immigration laws as a majority of Republican voters are.

Once the Republican and Democratic elites consolidate their efforts to remake America, they won't need their constituencies telling them what to do and what not to any more. I am sure that they would elect another people if they only could. For now, they are going to pretend that they heard something else than we actually said. Like that all we want is that the invasion be safe, orderly, and legal.

I hope that President "Uniter" Bush and his immigration "reform" collaborators will eventually manage to unite American people against his "guest workers" plan and consistent efforts to make a mockery of our national border. And that he will be equally sorry of the ramifications of his attempts as another George, some 228 years ago, was. In his arrogance, he may be unwilling to listen to us, but there are ways to persuade the rulers who are playing deaf to voice of the people that they have crossed the line when our patience with them comes to an end.
