A Swift End To Long-Standing Myths
Actions always speak louder than words. While our leadership continues to make token gestures to try and show Americans that they're serious about securing the border, they're taking giant leaps to ensure that the effort is a miserable failure.
For too long, America has been subjected to an endless stream of propaganda. I'm not talking about militant Islam. Rather, I'm referring to the lies spread by illegal immigrants and their advocates, including President Bush himself.
Recent events are beginning to erode the facade, revealing the underlying truth; the scope and impact of illegal immigration on the US.
In raids last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested over 1,200 people at six Swift meat packing plants in six different states. There were numerous warrants and dozens of arrests for identity theft, among other crimes. Thus, the myth that illegal immigrants only want a job is trampled to death, much like the rule of law, and the ranches that they cross in wave after human wave to get here.
According to Rosa Rosales, President of LULAC, an organization that seeks to overthrow the United States by burying it in litigation (which we will examine in more detail in my next article), 65 arrests of ID thieves and other scofflaws doesn't justify the raids. In her opinion, unless there is a national security or public safety concern, illegal immigrants who steal American identities should just be given a free pass.[1]
All illegal immigrants are criminals, otherwise they wouldn't be called "illegal". In truth, we tend to look more favorably on illegals whose only crime was crossing the border, or remaining here illegally. We must still recognize, however, that there are smugglers, pedophiles, murderers, gang members and ID thieves that enter the US every year.
The second myth shattered in recent days is that illegal immigrants are only doing jobs that Americans don't want or won't do. In the days since the raid, there has been a dramatic upswing in the number of applicants applying for jobs at the Greeley, CO Swift plant, proof that there are more than enough law-abiding people that want, or perhaps even need these jobs.
While last week's raids were a start; while they give people hope that something may finally be done to solve this complex problem, we need to keep them in perspective. They were only one tiny step. The hypocrisy of your President, many members of Congress, and a majority of US Senators remains a major stumbling block to ever fixing our immigration system..
Actions always speak louder than words. While our leadership continues to make token gestures to try and show Americans that they're serious about securing the border, they're taking giant leaps to ensure that the effort is a miserable failure.
Two border patrol agents Ignacio Ramos, and Jose Compean have been tried, convicted, and sentenced to eleven and twelve years in federal prison respectively for a Feb. 2006 incident in which they pursued a drug smuggler near the border. During the pursuit, the smuggler attempted to ditch his vehicle, and flee back to Mexico. In the process, a struggle ensued, the smuggler was shot in the buttocks after cutting Officer Compean, but he escaped.
In a glaring example of the Bush Administration's commitment to supporting the Border Patrol, he allowed this drug smuggler to sue the agents, and then stood silent while they were both convicted and sentenced to prison for violating his civil rights.
Considering the recent treatment of US Marines Frank Wuterich and his squad, John Jodka and his fellow Marines, or Ilario Pantano, despite what the President says, his actions call his commitment to supporting those who safeguard our nation into question.

Biography - Jayme Evans
Jayme Evans is a 38 year-old Veteran of the United States Navy who awoke 15 years ago to find that The United States' legal and political systems, it's Constitution, it's very institutions had been hijacked by radicals at both extremes of the political spectrum. It has been his mission ever since to expose what he believes are the reasons behind the continued disintegration of American society, as well as it's borders, morality, cultural identity, economic, industrial, and military power. If you decide engage him in a War Of Wits, do so at your own risk, and for Pete's sake, you'd better arm yourself.
