Senator Barack Obama, during the Presidential campaign commented that proponents of the 2nd Amendment were "clinging to their guns and religion."

Attorney General Eric Holder announced the Obama Administration wants to reinstitute the Assault Weapons Ban which expired in 2004. The Attorney General stated "I think that will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum."

According to the ABC News story linked above, U.S. Attorney General Holder said "that putting the ban back in place would not only be a positive move by the United States, it would help cut down on the flow of guns going across the border into Mexico, which is struggling with heavy violence among drug cartels along the border."

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton chimed in on March 25, 2009 with "Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade. Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the death of police officers, soldiers and civilians,"according to Reuters.

Really? Let me get this straight. The United States consists of over 3.5 million square miles. We're supposed to believe that the best way to end the drug war in Mexico and stop guns from being shipped to Mexico is to ban them in the United States?

Besides being absurd, it is un-Constitutional.

The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution clearly states:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms , shall not be infringed."

 Are we to believe that since the President and the Congress have chosen to ignore Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution, which by the way, guarantees us protection against invasion, that we should also give up our 2nd Amendment rights?

Is this the "change we can believe in, or need?" Absolutely not! If the President wants to uphold his oath, and the Congress wants to help him by upholding theirs for a change we can believe in, then perhaps securing the border makes more sense.

Securing the 2000 miles of our southern border instead of disarming the lawful citizens of 3.5 million square miles makes more sense. The hypocrisy of suggesting we should give up our guns or our religion is outrageous. Congressman Tom Tancredo started the Immigration Reform Caucus a few years ago because of his concerns about the threats to our sovereignty that illegal immigration and an unsecure border posed to our safety, sovereignty, and national security.

In a phone conversation last night, Tancredo, who now heads up The Rocky Mountain Foundation agreed that securing our border with Mexico would not only greatly curtail the flow of drugs heading north, but would also greatly reduce the flow of guns and cash headed south. However, that's not the whole story according to Tancredo. 

The main argument Obama, Clinton, and Holder are using to promote ignoring the 2nd Amendment doesn't hold water. "The Mexican government refuses to give us the serial numbers of the guns they confiscate from drug cartel members," Tancredo said. Tancredo went on to say the reason for this is that "most of these guns don't come from the U.S.

In fact, just since the year 2000, over 120,000 soldiers in the Mexican Army have deserted, many of them taking their guns with them. I suggested to the former Congressman that "If we outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns." He agreed.

Thomas Jefferson said,

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

 Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, also said:

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

 President Obama is attempting to disarm the American people. He is planning a national police force for the coming "police state" Obama wants his Gestapo to be as large and well-funded as our military. This will be necessary to quash all those who still believe in the Constitution, liberty, and freedom from tyranny.

Cling to your guns, your religion, and your Constitution, or in just a few short years, you will lose them all. "In God We Trust..." we MUST. There is only one Messiah, and He doesn't reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Slings and Arrows of Outrageous Fortune

Open letter to Colorado’s 9^th District Rep. Joe Miklosi,

 I read with much interest your response to Colorado resident and 27-year veteran INS/ICE Agent John Sampson (retired) concerning in-state tuition for illegal aliens. In your closing remarks, you stated you looked forward to the dialog. Pull up a chair, sir. 

Shakespeare’s Hamlet spoke about “the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.” I can think of few phrases in literature that more eloquently express the rampant disregard of the Constitution of the United States it is now being subjected to. It is under attack by unscrupulous scoundrels and scalawags, many of whom took an oath to God & country to defend it.

 Retired ICE Agent John Sampson has gone out of his way to “inform your discretion,” providing you with the exact federal laws you are breaking, and the FIRE Coalition leadership in Colorado has gone out of their way to inform you of your Constitutional obligations by identifying the specific parts your actions are in direct conflict with. 

Did you give due diligence to your oath of office, and actually read the Constitution before you decided to support this legislation? The smart answer, however sad, would be no, because if you did, you would have found that this is un-Constitutional according to several Articles of and Amendments to your “employee handbook.” 

On your official website, http://www.joemiklosi.com, you list your 2009 Legislative Agenda. You included several bills by name that you are proud to support, including one to promote “green jobs,” SB 171. Green jobs? You’re not selling that global warming, oops… “climate-change” scam too, are you? 

Let’s back up one bill to SB 170. Are you not proud enough of your support for this bill to list it amongst the others you champion? What should the citizens of Denver, and Colorado, and the other 49 states glean from this omission? 

Colorado citizens have called and written FIRE Coalition leadership wanting our opinion and advice about launching recall petitions for members of the Colorado Legislature who are sponsoring and/or supporting un-Constitutional legislation such as SB 170. 

What should I advise them about you? 

Your letter indicates you are conspiring with taxpayer-funded educators, other Colorado lawmakers, media outlets, Governor Ritter, and special interest groups to undermine existing law and the Constitution? That’s called conspiracy to incite insurrection, according to the Constitution. Do you realize it could not only cost you your job, but the ability to EVER hold public office again?! 

Mr. Sampson, a recently retired ICE agent who now heads up CSI Consulting and Investigations has invited you to a public debate on these issues. I’ve included the bulk of your letter to Mr. Sampson here, offset to the right. Since you are a registered Democrat, do take some consolation that your words are still way “left of center.” 

(March 19, 2009, Colorado 9^th District Rep. Joe Miklosi):

“Dear Mr. Sampson,

Thank you very much for taking time to share your thoughts about SB 170 with me.  I always appreciate hearing from Coloradans, even when they do not agree with my stance.  Even though I may not be able to change your opinion about this bill, I wanted to take a moment to explain the many benefits of this legislation, correct several misconceptions about this legislation, as well as immigration laws, and convey to you why I decided to sponsor this legislation in the State House.

I decided to sponsor this bill to both create educational opportunities and hope for talented, hard-working, students who have been forgotten and for pragmatic, economic reasons so that they can be incorporated into our society as taxpaying citizens once they earn a college degree and a job.  This bill, which will just offer in-state tuition and no scholarships, will help accomplish that goal.”

 Senate Bill 170 is good for our economy, strengthens our communities, keeps us competitive with other Western states, and provides an opportunity for more Coloradans to seek higher education.  First, and contrary to some popular beliefs, SB 170 is not just a matter of generosity, but also an economic development strategy to bolster the state's economy.  The passage of SB 170 will not cost Colorado tax payers a cent!  Also, studies have indicated that college graduates are less likely to get caught in a cycle of poverty and crime, and that they tend to be more productive and civically engaged; they vote more, and are more likely to contribute to the state tax base.  The states with higher percentages of college graduates have higher productivity and attract more high-growth biomedical, technology, and new energy corporations.”

Illegal aliens are NOT “Coloradans.” If they come from Mexico, then they are Mexican nationals, illegally occupying Colorado. If they are from France, then they are French nationals, illegally squatting in Colorado. I’ve been to Paris. That doesn’t make me a Parisian.

The 1982 un-Constitutional ruling by the Supreme Court illustrates the failure of the Judicial Branch of federal government to “check or balance” the illegal actions of the Executive and Legislative branches of our federal government. Which Colorado universities are you conspiring with to encourage insurrection and rebellion against the Constitution of the United States? Inquiring minds (and hopefully an honest U.S. Attorney) want to know. 

They too, are committing a felony, and if any of them, like you, are elected officials, they are in direct violation of the 14^th Amendment, Sections 3, and 4, and the cowardly act of surrender in violation of Article IV, Section 4. 

(March 19, 2009, Colorado 9^th District Rep. Joe Miklosi, continued):

 “Third, SB 170 provides an opportunity for Colorado to stay competitive with our nearby states.  Ten other states currently have passed tuition equity legislation, and many of these are Western states: California, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Washington.  California and Texas have calculated that any costs associated with this legislation were minimal when compared with spending on social programs and the higher rates of crime that would result if nothing was done.”

Are you suggesting that because California, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Washington state legislators have failed to keep their oath of office, that that somehow justifies your betrayal of your oath? Are the colleges in Colorado there to educate the legal citizens, or as a commercial enterprise for a socialist government?

I would suggest you look in the faces of the victims of illegal alien crime at VOIAC.org and at OperationBodyCount.com before you start preaching the praises of this illegal activity you are engaged in, and talk to the family members that were left behind. All illegal alien children need to be re-united with their family if the parents are deported is bus fare or a plane ticket. The Colorado families you are betraying will need a shovel.

Have you read the “Dark Report” written by Colorado’s own Peter Wagner? You can watch a video presentation Mr. Wagner gave at the FIRE Coalition Presidents’ Day National Security Conference, at the North Carolina Department of the American Legion State Headquarters February 18, 2008. All six segments of Mr. Wagner’s presentation of the “Dark Side of Illegal Immigration,” and many others can be viewed from the National Security Conference page of the FIRE Coalition’s Operation Body Count web site, or directly here:   http://operationbodycount.com/nsc/index.shtml

Had you come to Broomfield, Colorado’s American Legion Post 1111 last August, you might have your priorities straight. You were invited. For you to suggest the costs “are minimal” is patently absurd. As a direct result of the failure of elected officials to uphold the Constitution, tens of thousands of Americans have been permanently silenced just since 9/11/2001, and generations of their children and grandchildren will never be born. They died as a result of politicians like you who chose to ignore their oath, instead of upholding it. What did you think “posterity” meant in the Constitution? Tell the Colorado families who lost a loved one at the hands of illegal aliens, or had their identity stolen, or their wages reduced by illegal aliens flooding the job market that their losses are “minimal.”

Exactly how many legal citizens of Denver and Colorado’s 9^th District are you willing to sacrifice to be economically competitive?

(March 19, 2009, Colorado 9^th District Rep. Joe Miklosi, continued):

 “Fourth, when discussing SB 170, I have often heard the argument that it is "unfair" to offer illegal immigrants residing in Colorado in-state tuition, but that it would be more "fair" to offer it to residents of other states instead.  Illegal immigrants residing in Colorado pay a considerable amount of state taxes.  Even though they are undocumented, every time an illegal immigrant purchases anything, he or she pays a sales tax.  Those who own houses pay their property taxes, and those who rent their homes/apartments pay taxes as a part of their rent every month.  Additionally, they pay tolls and fuel taxes when driving.  The idea behind offering in-state tuition to residents of a given state is that their state taxes have already contributed and helped to subsidize the costs of these state-sponsored colleges and universities, unlike their out-of-state counterparts.  In-state tuition averages around $2,340 a semester, while out-of-state tuition averages over $7,000 a semester.”

Get it straight Mr. Miklosi. The argument isn’t that it is unfair; in-state tuition for illegal aliens is ILLEGAL. It is a felony. It is un-Constitutional. Your “employee handbook,” the Constitution does not mention whether or not it is “fair.” It does say you cannot aid and abet if you want to keep your job. Did your oath only include “only if its convenient?” I don’t think so.

(March 19, 2009, Colorado 9^th District Rep. Joe Miklosi, continued):

 “Fifth, I would like to clear up some of the misconceptions surrounding federal immigration laws.  First, there is currently no easy solution or "path to citizenship" for these effected students.  The only option out there for these students, many of whom entered the country when they were very young, is to go back to their country and apply for legal re-entry.  Although this sounds like an easy process, in order to get back into the country, each applicant must have an immediate relative, who is already a U.S. citizen to serve as a sponsor, and must wait the mandatory 10 years before re-entering.  With an arduous and often impossible process like this, not many illegal immigrants will adhere to this federal immigration policy.  Second, I have also heard many people argue the futility of educating illegal immigrants because legally, they cannot be hired by Colorado businesses.  First of all, educating our residents is always beneficial to our society, regardless of employment status, and secondly, on the federal level, legislation will be introduced shortly that would remedy this concern.  The DREAM Act, expected to be introduced in April in the Congress would grant conditional legal residency to these students, as long as they graduate from high school, are accepted by a college, perform two years of community service or two years of military service, and stay out of trouble.”

Misconceptions? Let me clear up some for you. To suggest there is no “easy solution” or path to citizenship” for foreigners is the biggest lie of all in the disinformation campaign calling for “comprehensive immigration reform.” We need comprehensive enforcement, not pragmatic, cowardly, white flag waving, and patronization with slick-tongued diatribes that never answer the simple question: By what Constitutional authority do you usurp the Constitution, or the laws justly derived from it?

The United States allows more “legal” immigration than the rest of the world COMBINED! How can any of you suggest with any credibility that there isn’t an easy solution or path? Common sense and simple math suggest that the United States must already have the easiest path to citizenship on the planet.

Regrettably, the constituencies you are representing in this bill aren’t the citizens of Colorado at all, but are illegal alien insurgents, and that includes the children they themselves victimized by bringing them along on the invasion. Look those three words up. You can find them on PatriotWatchdog.com, or at Dictionary.com.

How can your argument hold any water? It doesn’t. The truth of the matter is, that irresponsible elected officials are squandering the People’s money at a rate so staggering, and have become addicted to spending other people’s money with such a fever, the only conceivable way to keep getting “your fix” is to raise taxes from any source possible, including the hordes of illegal alien invaders that you refuse to deport.

(March 19, 2009, Colorado 9^th District Rep. Joe Miklosi, continued):

 “SB 170 is an incredibly beneficial bill to the state of Colorado and all of its residents.  It will help to break the cycle of poverty among this section of Colorado's population and will provide immeasurable hope to those who wish to better themselves and their futures.  Even if this email has not persuaded you to support this measure, I sincerely hope that it has at least explained my rationale for supporting it.”

What would be incredibly beneficial to the legal citizens of Colorado is if you would break the cycle of betrayal and actually enforce the laws on the books, and defend the Constitution. What would be incredibly beneficial to the state of Colorado is if its elected officials wouldn’t enter into illegal conspiracies to aid and abet the insurrection of, and usurpation of our sovereignty.

(March 19, 2009, Colorado 9^th District Rep. Joe Miklosi, continued):

 “Finally, as you know, immigration and economics are intrinsically connected.  We need to think about pragmatic, reasonable solutions that encourage a positive outlet, such as earning a college degree, and not a hopelessness outlet, which can lead to dependence on welfare and the criminal justice system.

  A few months ago, I heard a PhD economist associated with the Independence Institute, which you know is a conservative think tank in Colorado Springs.  He said 500 PhD economists of diverse political backgrounds, from liberal to conservative, signed a letter that showed the United States experiences a $20 billion dollar net gain on the economy annually from illegal immigrants.  The study incorporated all of the dollars that illegal immigrants use, such as health care and education resources. The economists also calculated all of the sales tax, gas tax, and unreported money that they contribute to the economy.  As you know, it is difficult to get two economists to agree on anything - let along 500 of them.  The study is pretty convincing.

 Additionally, a recent bi-partisan, federal government, General Accounting Office study showed that it would cost the United States taxpayers $387 billion dollars to identify and deport 15 million people.  No one has ever seriously proposed doing this, including former Congressman Tancredo.  As a result, we need to think of practical solutions that assimilate undocumented people into our society with opportunity, responsibility and dignity. I also recognize that we need to invest in strong border controls and reform our immigration and Visa system so that the wait list is not decades long and create an immigration system that allows equal access from people from all countries.” 

 Hold the presses. Are you suggesting that since (in your opinion) forcibly deporting 15 million people is too costly, that the logical conclusion is to jump to surrendering to them? Why not try the Constitutional mandate of “protecting us against invasion” spelled out in Article IV, Section 4, and try enforcing our laws. Remove the incentives that draw them here, and rescind laws that provide them aid and comfort to the illegal invading hordes?

If illegal aliens already here can’t get a job, can’t rent an apartment, can’t buy property, and can’t get any government assistance, then they will SELF-DEPORT. You can spend that $300 billion securing our borders and ports.

Attrition through enforcement works! The rest of the planet would get the message too. Don’t waste your time trying to go to the United States illegally. They aren’t going to help you continue the largest invasion in world history any more. Then only the bad guys would try.

People like you argue that illegal aliens aren’t bad people. Some are. Some are not. Stop pandering to the benevolent variety of illegal alien insurgent, and it will be a lot easier for law enforcement to do their job of identifying and locating the bad guys.

Various FBI reports indicate that providing aid and comfort to illegal aliens via sanctuary policies encourages even more illegals to come to Colorado. What is un-American about upholding the Constitution? What is un-American about wanting our laws enforced? 

Patriotic Americans are suffering the “insolence of office,” but unlike most politicians, we are not in need of a “bare bodkin to quietus make, and conscience does [not] make cowards of us all” as U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder would have us believe.

(ref: Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Act III)

Speaker Pelosi would have us believe illegal aliens and their sympathizers are “patriots.” U.S. Senator Mel Martinez, while accepting an award from the un-American racist group NCLR, (National Council of “the Race”) would have us believe illegal aliens are “citizens” coming out of the shadows, and you articulate that illegal aliens are “undocumented” Coloradans. 

Is it nobler in your mind to suffer our Constitutional Republic more “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,” or will you force patriotic Americans “to bear arms against a sea of troubles?”                                                (ref: Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Act III) 

Even conspiring to submit SB 170 to give illegal alien insurgents in-state tuition is felonious and a violation of your oath, at least five ways from Sunday. So is talk of the “Dream Act,” or as honest Americans call it, the “nightmare act.” 

If you don’t like the Constitution, then work to amend it. You have no right to ignore it. To recall, or not to recall, that IS the question.

Congressman Luis Guttierrez is currently on a multi-city "insurrection tour." One of his first stops was in California. Any red-blooded American with a 5th grade education can read the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment, Section 3:

U.S. Constitution, 14th Amendment, Section 3 states:

"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a two-thirds vote of each House remove such disability."

Congressman Guttierrez is conspiring with the Speaker of the House to undermine not only our federal immigration laws, but the Constitution itself. Voters are told to vote people out of office when we lose faith in their ability to represent our best interests. What about when they conspire to commit a felony? Aiding and abetting illegal aliens, or providing them aid and comfort is a felony.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, at St. Anthony's Church in San Francisco on March 7, 2009, in direct defiance of her oath of office as a Member of Congress, willfully, and knowingly conspired to aid and abet insurrection. She certainly comforted them. (Listen to their cheers), and conspired to aid them by encouraging the President of the United States to ignore federal law, when she suggested ICE raids were un-American, and that they should stop. The YouTube video of her treasonous behavior is at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KsaiRRd_Aw

Insurrection is defined as:

insurrection:

"an act or instance of rising in revolt, rebellion, or resistance against civil authority or an established government."

 Speaking to a crowd that consisted of illegal aliens and illegal alien sympathizers, Speaker Pelosi said the following about immigration law enforcement raids being conducted by ICE in the performance of their duties:

"There are ways it can stop by just changing policy by the administration, which I think will happen, but we need comprehensive immigration reform, and we need it soon."

Speaker Pelosi, who took an oath to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution said to a group of illegal aliens and sympathizers,

"You are very, very special people. You're here on a Saturday night to take responsibility for our country's future. That makes you very, very patriotic."

Very patriotic? What? They aren't even citizens of this country. Does she need a dictionary or a labotomy?

Former Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo, appearing on Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto, had this to say in response to Speaker Pelosi's remarks.

"What a slap in the face that is to every single person who's come here the right way. To suggest this for a moment that they should simply ignore the law, and she as the Speaker of the House, says "Let's ignore the law. It doesn't matter. It's un-American to enforce it."

It's an idiotic statement, and a slap in the face to every immigrant who has come here the right way, said Tancredo.

You can listen to the audio at: http://firecoalition.com/audio/TancredoCallsoutPelosiOnCavuto.mp3

Whose job is it to investigate, indict, and prosecute elected officials who willingly, and knowingly violate the Constitution? Who has the legal authority and obligation to charge Congressman Guttierrez and Speaker Pelosi with violating Title 8, and the Constitution's 14th Amendment, Section 3?

At what point do states who witness un-Constitutional activity going on at the federal government stop making excuses, and start doing their sworn duties of upholding the Constitution? 

I was in the Navy, and participated in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. I took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Do you think for one second that if I, having previously taken that oath, had conspired to give aid or comfort to illegal alien insurgents in Iraq, that I would have been rewarded for it? I certainly would not have been given the honorable discharge I received at the end of my sworn obligation to my country. Odds are, I would have been charged, and if found guilty would have been imprisoned, and then received a dishonorable discharge.

If my oath was so important that I was at risk of incarceration and a permanent mark on my record of having been "dishonorable," then someone please explain to me why Members of Congress who send honorable Americans into harms way aren't held to the same standard, when they take the same oath?

Nancy Pelosi and Luis Guttierrez, by definition are actively engaged in insurrection. They are actively giving aid and comfort, and conspiring to undermine the U.S. Constitution and the laws written to defend it.

My question for the U.S. Attorney General, and every red-blooded American is this:

U.S. Constitution, 14^th Amendment, Section 4 states:

“The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.”

Start reading your "employee handbook" (the Constitution), and start holding your employees accountable. Nancy Pelosi promised "transparency" when she took over as Speaker of the House. It's the one promise she has kept. I can see right through her, and what I see is a traitor.

Friday the 13th, March, 2009

Attorney General Suthers,

Your office sent the following to my staff in Colorado yesterday under the premise that you had already properly addressed attempts in Colorado to give in-state tuition to illegal aliens.

“As you can see, we addressed this issue in a 2006 Attorney General opinion: http://www.ago.state.co.us/agopinions/AGO_PDFs/AGO06-1.pdf” 

Your 2006 Formal Opinion as Colorado’s Attorney General does not address the real issue, nor does it give the proper guidance to citizens or elected officials, or efforts in 2009 on both sides of the issue would not be necessary. Your sworn duty in upholding the U.S. Constitution is to the legal citizens of Colorado, and of the United States and our posterity, and NOT to illegal aliens and their posterity. From your January 23, 2006 formal opinion as Colorado Attorney General:

"This opinion, requested by Executive Director Rick O’Donnell, concerns the authority of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (“CCHE”) to grant in-state tuition status to undocumented aliens. 1 1 For purposes of this memorandum, the term “undocumented alien” means an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States. See generally 8 U.S.C. § 1623; Equal Access Education v. Merten, 305 F.Supp. 2d 585, 592 (E.D.Va. 2004) (referring to “aliens with undocumented status”). QUESTION PRESENTED AND CONCLUSION Question: Whether CCHE has the statutory authority to, by policy or regulation, grant in-state tuition status to undocumented aliens. Answer: No. CCHE lacks statutory authority to establish a policy or regulation granting in-state tuition status to undocumented aliens.”

With all due respect Mr. Suthers, you should have put an end to this absurdity three years ago by “informing their discretion” as the author of the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson advised. It is not too late for you to inform all concerned what the Constitution says about aiding and abetting illegal aliens, and what it says about the citizens of the United States being guaranteed protection against invasion. You have the opportunity to do what countless officials across the country have failed to do for decades; you can lead by example and show them all what having a backbone looks like; what upholding your oath with due diligence and a wholesome discretion entails.

Correct Answer: No, The mere framing of the question violates the 14th Amendment, Section 3, if posed by an elected official. There is no such thing as an “undocumented alien” in the context of this question. Since elected and public officials in Colorado have already identified the demographic they are pandering to as non-citizens who are not here lawfully, then by definition they are ILLEGAL aliens. To call them “undocumented” is inaccurate, if not an outright diversion. The whole purpose of the CCHE request revolved around their desire to grant privileges to foreign nationals who are “documented” as being here illegally. How then can we call them “undocumented?” Is it an attempt to blur the line between legal alien and illegal alien; between citizen and resident? Citizens of foreign countries who are in the United States illegally and those that pander to them don’t like it when We the People correctly identify them as “illegal aliens.”

Regrettably, many of We the People’s “employees” (elected officials) are aiding and abetting illegal aliens. Elected officials that succumb to their pleas to be referred to as “undocumented aliens,” have also failed to take the advice of President George Washington, who warned us of the dangers of foreign influence, and the threat it posed to our Constitutional Republic in his farewell address. State government officials, who are also “employees” of We the People, have failed to exercise their authority to rein in the federal government. The 10th Amendment to the “employee handbook,” (the U.S. Constitution) clearly states the limitations of the authority of the federal and state governments. Your 2006 opinion as Colorado’s Attorney General cites in part U.S. Code, Title 8, as your reasoning for referring to illegal aliens as “undocumented” as if the federal government’s failure to uphold the Constitution grants you the right to do the same. Their failure makes your responsibility that much more important and urgent. The federal government exists to serve the states and the People, not the other way around. This cycle of perpetual folly and tom-foolery must end.

A state government which will not exercise a wholesome discretion to enforce the 10th Amendment by allowing the federal government to overstep its bounds is itself in violation of its own pact with the People, and that states’ sovereignty is in grave jeopardy. Citizens of the United States who conspire to pressure elected officials to refer to illegal aliens as “undocumented aliens” in an attempt to circumvent the letter and intent of the Constitution are courting with acts of sedition.

CCHE shouldn’t even be asking the question.

You shouldn’t be citing bogus, un-Constitutional federal laws as justification for CCHE not having the authority it seeks. To suggest that the reason CCHE can’t give illegal aliens in-state tuition unless the state approves it first, or because it might violate the equal protection clause has no merit, and is perpetuating the ignorance of some, and the lies of others. What message did you send the Colorado Legislature, and anyone else who was listening? You told them they couldn’t give aid and comfort to enemies of our Constitution via the methods they were trying to employ. You should have told them what they wanted to do required changing the U.S. Constitution, and that any other conspiracy to attempt to give illegal aliens the privileges of citizens violates federal law and the U.S. Constitution.

You should have told them you would defend the Constitution. You should have told them after having informed their discretion, that there would be consequences if you caught them conspiring to aid and abet illegal aliens in the future. By what Constitutional authority do you suggest that illegal aliens fall under the jurisdiction of the United States in the context of the civil rights and privileges guaranteed to citizens?

The 14th Amendment, Section 1 clearly states:

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

According to the 14th Amendment, Section 1, to be a citizen of the United States, and of the state in which you reside you have to meet two basic qualifications:

1) Be a person born or naturalized in the United States, AND

2) Be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

It doesn’t say one or the other. It requires both.

Illegal alien foreign nationals are not citizens, and since their children fall under the jurisdiction of the nation of their parents’ citizenship, they are not U.S. citizens either. Anchor-baby citizenship is a further perpetuation of the bastardization of the interpretation of the 14th Amendment. Their civil rights reside within the boundaries of their home country. The citizens of the United States are granted “equal protection” across the several states.

The Framers of the Constitution were not so arrogant or stupid as to assume they could grant that protection to the entire planet. By what authority do elected officials in Colorado and in the United States government ignore the Constitution in attempting to give the “equal protection” of citizenship to non-citizens? Legislators have no authority, right, or privilege to introduce legislation whose passage into law would undermine or circumvent the U.S. Constitution. The Colorado State Government lacks the statutory or Constitutional authority to grant in-state tuition to illegal aliens, period!

Aiding and abetting illegal aliens is a felony. Title 8, U.S. Code

Specifically, attempting to aid and abet illegal aliens by conspiring to implement legislation, policy, or regulatory changes to authorize granting illegal alien foreign national invaders of our sovereignty in-state tuition violates the intent, if not also the letter of the U.S. Constitution’s Article IV, Section 4, the 14th Amendment, Sections 3 and 4, as well as parts of U.S. Code, Title 8, Chapter 12, Subchapter II, Part VIII, 1324, Section (A)(v)(I & II), and Section (B), clauses (iii & iv), as authorized by the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment, Section 5, which was ratified on July 9, 1868. This is not a news flash. It has been in effect 140 years! According to the Framers, the Constitution was written such that the common man would not need a constitutional lawyer to interpret it. Any man who spoke English, and was blessed with common sense, could interpret it on his own. The laws written to enforce the Constitution are also supposed to be written for the common man, devoid of double-speak and fancy rhetoric. We as citizens are often told “Ignorance of the law is no excuse.” Well, if that is true, then ignorance of the Constitution those laws are supposed to be written in compliance with is certainly no excuse! The complexity of Title 8 is indicative of the slick-tongued vernacular of barristers who failed to exercise their “wholesome discretion” as Thomas Jefferson advised.

Fortunately, the defining contractual agreement the states entered into in the founding of our Republican government, namely the U.S. Constitution, is quite clear.

Federal or state legislators who conspire to introduce legislation that is contrary to the contractual agreement between the states in forming a federal government are in act and effect undermining the Constitution, and our sovereignty as a nation of laws is jeopardized. If We the People don’t like what the Constitution says, the remedy is to amend it, not ignore or subvert it.

When elected officials, (federal, or state) attempt to grant in-state tuition, or any other “aid or comfort” to illegal aliens, they are committing a felony, to say the least. Human rights, yes. Civil rights, no! Equal rights? Never! In the case of elected officials who have taken an oath to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution, there are even more penalties.

Elected officials who aid and abet illegal aliens, or conspire to aid and abet illegal aliens in their insurrection and rebellion against the Constitution should be removed from office, forfeit the right to vote for President or Vice-President, and suffer a lifetime ban from ever holding public office again, in accordance with: Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which plainly states: "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a two-thirds vote of each House remove such disability."

The “Background” and “Discussion” sections of your January, 2006 formal opinion are riddled with examples of attempts and conspiracies to attempt to undermine, ignore, subvert, and render the U.S. Constitution irrelevant.

Repeated attempts by enemies, (foreign and domestic) over the years to make a lie a truth, and references to fraudulent legal precedent (as if it trumps Constitutional precedent) do not negate the supremacy of the Constitution, nor relieve you or any other elected official of your oath and duty to uphold and defend the Constitution.

In the “Conclusion” section of your January, 2006 formal opinion, you state:

“In sum, federal law requires that, in order for states to grant in-state tuition status to undocumented aliens, they must first affirmatively provide for such eligibility, and do so on a residency-neutral basis. Currently, state law provides in-state tuition status based on residency. Several bills have been introduced in the General Assembly that would eliminate residency classification and determine in-state tuition status based on residency-neutral criteria, but none has passed. The question posed by CCHE is whether it has the authority to make such a change, by policy or regulation. As set forth above, CCHE’s authority under the Tuition Classification Act is quite limited, and does not encompass authority to change the criteria by which in-state tuition status is granted. For this reason, I conclude that CCHE lacks statutory authority to establish a policy or regulation granting in-state tuition status to undocumented aliens. Rather, such a determination would require an amendment to the Tuition Classification Act by the General Assembly.”

You should have said, “In sum, despite the federal law that fails the burden of Constitutional adherence, Colorado will not aid and abet illegal aliens, and will not conspire to aid and abet corrupt or unscrupulous federal officials that are attempting to subvert the Constitution. It doesn’t matter whether tuition rates are “residency-neutral” or not, in respect to illegal aliens, since they can’t possibly have a legal residency in ANY state, and be an illegal alien at the same time. Illegal alien foreign nationals become insurgents when they conspire to undermine the laws of the country they have invaded. We have spent billions of dollars fighting illegal alien insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan. Why on God’s green Earth should we encourage such behavior on American soil when our brothers and sisters, sons and daughters are risking their lives abroad under the guise of protecting our freedoms as U.S. Citizens? You should put every public official in Colorado on notice that you will uphold your oath and not tolerate any further nibbling of the Constitution. I remind you sir of the words of yet another of our Founding Fathers, our first Ambassador,

Benjamin Franklin, who said,

“A great empire, like a great cake, is most easily diminished at the edges.”

Take back Colorado, and put America and Americans FIRST! Uphold the Constitution, and stand firm against pandering jackals who are putting the jobs and lives of Americans at risk. Godspeed to you in your efforts to protect the citizens and lawful residents of Colorado.

Colorado Governor Bill Ritter needs to read his "employee handbook." Patriotic Americans more readily refer it as the U.S. Constitution, but in the case of Governor Ritter, he apparently needs to be reminded of the employer/employee relationship that exists between We the People, and the people we elect.

According to Tim Hoover of the Denver Post, in an article published Friday the 13th of March, 2009 titled "Ritter would sign in-state tuition bill for illegal immigrants". Governor Ritter says he will sign Senate Bill 170 into law if Senator Chris Romer's bill passes as is.

What I find incredulous is that Governor Ritter is basing his decision on the popularity of a policy that he claims is "supported by prominent Colorado business leaders."

In Governor Ritter's "employee handbook," and the oath he took to uphold and defend that "handbook," Governor Ritter acknowledged that Colorado was part of a Constitutional Republic, whose laws and governance were to be guided by the U.S. Constitution, NOT the popularity of a policy, or even in an effort to provide "tuition equity as a matter of principle."

What Governor Ritter needs to be reminded is that we are a "nation of laws," not a nation of men, whim, or policy based on popularity.

Governor Ritter needs also to be reminded that granting in-state tuition to illegal aliens is "aiding and abetting" illegal immigration, which is a felony.

If Employee Ritter wants to hold office after his term as governor, he might consider reading the 14th Amendment, Section 3, in his "employee handbook."

Any elected official who has ever taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, who then proceeds to aid and abet, or conspires to aid and abet insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution (or laws written in adherence to it) are inelligble to EVER hold public office again.

I didn't write the Constitution, and neither did Governor Ritter, or Senator Romer, but we did all take an oath at one time or another to uphold and defend the Constitution. While my active duty service has been honorably discharged, their active commitment to We the People has not expired.  Governor Ritter has no right to ignore the Constitution he took an oath to God and Country to uphold.

Some refer to such actions of conspiring to undermine the Constitution by aiding and abetting illegal alien invaders and their illegal alien children, especially in a time of war, as TREASON!

If the good Senator Romer, and the good Governor Ritter want their terms of office to end "honorably" some day instead of in a cloud of shame and betrayal to the people that elected them to uphold and defend the Constitution, then they need to re-think the methods of their madness. I know the air is thin in Denver, but some of the excuses I'm hearing for betraying the citizens of Colorado coming out of the Governor's mouth and several Colorado legislators gives "Rocky Mountain High" a whole new meaning.

There is certainly a legal and moral venue Governor Ritter, Senator Romer and others might take instead of the felonious, un-Constitutional, and unethical criminal activity of "conspiracy to aid and abet" that they are currently engaged in.

Amend the Constitution. You can't ignore the parts you don't agree with, in the hopes that others will honor the parts that you do agree with, without marginalizing the entire fabric of our country.

As leaders, Governor Ritter and Senator Romer should be setting the example of what honorable statesmen do. It starts with keeping their oath. America is in the midst of the largest invasion in world history. Colorado's unemployment rate is nothing to brag about. Why would Governor Ritter think illegal aliens deserve the jobs Colorado has to offer more than the legal citizens and legal aliens?

Who does Governor Ritter represent? YOU or the illegal aliens, the "prominent" business leaders who profit from flooding a job market with excessive amounts of job seekers in a downturned economy? Who wins?

The legal workforce loses because wages fall as the supply of potential workers goes up. Big business benefits from paying lower wages. Illegal aliens send a good bit of their income out of the country. That doesn't help the economy of Colorado or the United States.

In addition, if you think you have an illegal alien crime problem now, just wait till (God forbid) SB 170 becomes law. Colorado's magnetism as a sanctuary for illegal alien activity will increase not just the studious who Governor Ritter claims he wants to help, but the drug cartels, the violent criminals from countries around the world will flood to Colorado.

Waving the white flag of surrender, betraying one's oath, allegiance, and debt to the tens of thousands of Americans who fought and died over the past few centuries securing his "liberty and freedom" shouldn't be Governor Ritter's first choice.

Another Senator who supports the bill, Senator Miklosi argues that it will costs too much to deport 15 million illegal aliens. Senator Miklosi suggests the costs to be in the range of $387 billion. Considering the costs of keeping them here is estimated at around $346 billion EACH YEAR, then our net costs the first year would be around $40 billion, and by year two, when the multi-trillion dollar stimulus hoax money kicks in, we'll see a net savings of $300 billion dollars in year two alone.

Add to that the 10 million Americans and legal migrant workers who could then find work, and even that extreme option starts to sound fiscally sound. Talk about stimulating the economy. Whew! 

I can have fun with numbers too, Senators, Governor, ...but let's look at this from the pragmatic view that you both claim are driving your decision-making processes.

Both of these gentlemen "inherited" their current positions from a body politic that often ignored the Constitution, states' rights, and individual rights for decades. The decisions of their predessors put them in the awkward position they find themselves in now. I feel their pain, but adding more un-Constitutional laws, or implementing policy based on personal views is just adding fuel to a fire that is burning up our freedoms, liberties, and Constitutional Republic.

"Attrition through enforcement" works. Remove the incentives that draw illegal aliens to the United States, and remove the rewards of aiding and abetting that invasion, and most illegal aliens will self-deport. Law enforcement will deal with the criminal element that decides to stay behind.

Governor Ritter needs to know that if he will support law enforcement through programs such as 287(g), and business by reducing taxes, and the children of Colorado's legal population, that school costs will fall, crime will fall, unemployment will fall, and he will be adored by all as a champion of the people... We the People.

Which will it be Governor? Will you betray everything you swore you would defend, spit on the graves of our fallen soldiers, and kick sand in the face of Colorado's posterity?

There are many more absurd rationales coming from pro-illegal alien sympathizers as to why they intend to betray their oath of office, but I haven't heard one yet that is justified. NOT ONE! Considering we lose EIGHT TIMES as many citizens at the hands of illegal aliens on American soil each year than we are losing to illegal aliens in Iraq and Afghanistan, I see elected officials who subvert the Constitution in favor of aiding and abetting foreign and domestic enemies of the Constitution as traitors.

30 Pieces of Silver donated to Governor Ritter's campaigns by illegal alien sympathizers and opportunistic business or globalists scalawags won't wash the blood off of his hands that is there because of the men, women, and children who died at the hands of illegal aliens he encourages to come to Colorado.

With rare exception, every citizen of Colorado that the FIRE Coalition state and national leadership are hearing from about this are OUTRAGED!!

Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, and Founding Father of our country said two things Governor Ritter should consider:

Pennsylvania Rep. Daryl Metcalfe founded the State Legislators for Legal Immigration Coalition. At a Dec. 07, 2007  press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. I asked Rep. Metcalfe was he aware of, and how he felt about pending legislation in Congress that was un-Constitutional. Rep. Metcalfe is an honorable man whom I respect greatly. He personifies what a true statesman looks like. Rep. Metcalfe answered my question with the following unscripted words of wisdom, and I quote,

“I don’t believe there’s any legislator that’s involved with our coalition that would allow or be supportive of allowing the law to allow any American to aid and abet a criminal or an illegal alien invader, which is what they are. They’ve come here uninvited. They’ve come here unauthorized, and we should not allow any individual residing in this country to aid and abet someone who’s committing an act of invading our country.”  -Pennsylvania Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, Butler, Pennsylvania

These are not partisan issues. No matter which side of the aisle we find ourselves on, or neither, we must stand united in defense of the Constitution, our sovereignty, and as Rep. Metcalfe says, National Security Begins at Home! Bring it home Colorado, and Godspeed!!

Sinister Intentions Indeed!

SPLC and Pew Hispanic Center Misrepresent the Truth

According to the Pew Hispanic Center, “Latinos, who are 13% of the U.S. adult population, accounted for 40% of all sentenced federal offenders in 2007—up from 24% in 1991.” They went on to say that the majority are NOT citizens, and while Hispanics are more likely to receive prison time, the prejudice, if any leans toward them receiving less time that blacks or whites.                         http://pewhispanic.org/topics/?TopicID=16

THE TRUTH: Hispanic illegal aliens are given special treatment by virtue of shorter prison sentences for the crimes they commit than do blacks or whites. If there is a prejudice here, Hispanics are NOT the victims of discrimination in U.S. courts. Other ethnicities are.

In December, 2005, Pew interviewed just under 5,000 mostly illegal alien migrants. The vast majority claimed to have had jobs before leaving their home country, and a failure to find work in their home country was NOT the primary reason for coming to the United States. What was? This report was based on a survey of mostly illegal aliens who were applying for “identity cards issued by Mexican consulates.”

 http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=58

According to a December, 2002 Pew Report, it is estimated that in 2005 immigrants, legal and illegal sent an average of $50 million every day back to their home countries.

http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=13

THE TRUTH: Illegal alien Hispanics are not coming here because they can’t find jobs in their own country. They come here illegally, take jobs from legal immigrants and citizens, and commit crimes at a rate 3 times higher than non-Hispanics,

So, not only are they taking jobs away from our citizens, they aren’t even spending the money here. Also, the identity cards Pew refers to are mostly the Mexican Matricula Consular card, a form of ID that the Mexican government does not accept in Mexico. These Matricula Consular cards are ONLY needed by illegal aliens. Unscrupulous American businesses accept it to allow illegal aliens to open bank accounts, gain home mortgages and credit cards, etc… According to the FBI, sanctuary cities and businesses’ acceptance of the Matricula Consular ID card encourages illegal immigration.

A June, 2005 Pew Report states, “Contrary to the stereotype of undocumented migrants as single males with very little education who perform manual labor in agriculture or construction, a new Pew Hispanic Center report shows that most of the unauthorized population lives in families, a quarter has at least some college education and that illegal workers can be found in many sectors of the US economy.”

 http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=46

THE TRUTH: Illegal aliens are not just stealing farm labor jobs, but also from many other sectors of the job market. They’re not just here to pick lettuce, or perform other farm labor, but are taking skilled labor jobs from Americans.

The Sept. 2008 Pew Hispanic Center Report, 2008 National Survey of Latinos: Hispanics See Their Situation in U.S. Deteriorating; Oppose Key Immigration Enforcement Measures states, “Half (50%) of all Latinos say the situation of Latinos in this country is worse than it was a year ago.” It goes on to state, “More than four-in-five Hispanics (81%) say that immigration enforcement should be left mainly to the federal authorities rather than the local police; 76% disapprove of workplace raids; 73% disapprove of the criminal prosecution of undocumented immigrants who are working without authorization; and 70% disapprove of the criminal prosecution of employers who hire undocumented immigrants. A narrow majority (53%) disapproves of a requirement that employers check a federal database to verify the legal immigration status of all prospective hires.”                         http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=93

THE TRUTH: Hispanics, by and large, according to Pew, don’t like enforcement of our immigration laws. What Pew doesn’t tell you is how many in this survey are here illegally. For Pew to suggest that the vast majority of Hispanics don’t want our immigration laws enforced is misleading. By their own admission, half the Hispanics interviewed are probably illegal aliens.

Pew also makes no comparison to non-Hispanics concerning how they feel about their situation in the U.S. I would imagine that most legal immigrants and U.S. citizens would say they feel their situation is deteriorating, duh. Pew is encouraging Hispanics to feel like “victims,” when the data does not support that they are any more disadvantaged than any other ethnic group.

If 53% in Pew’s survey oppose employers being required to verify prospective hires are here “legally,” then common sense begs the question “Why?” I would suggest the only reason to oppose employers making sure you are legal is because you probably aren’t!

 Is the Southern Poverty Law Center spreading “hate?” Are they guilty of playing the “victim” card and misrepresenting patriotic Americans, many of them veterans? In their 2009 “Intelligence Report,” the SPLC has labeled the FIRE Coalition and our partners as “nativist extremists.”            http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?sid=443

Is the SPLC engaged in disinformation and a smear campaign against the FIRE Coalition and other patriotic Americans? If so, why? In their ridiculous article, “Sinister Intentions,” the SPLC states,

“Many other growing nativist extremist groups — most notably the Federal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Coalition, or FIRE, which increased from two chapters in 2007 to 14 last year — largely steered clear of the border in favor of confronting immigrants with aggressive protests at day labor sites, which are safer, closer to home, and don't require spending hot days or cold nights in the desert.”

http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?pid=1696

THE TRUTH: Really? The SPLC has not contacted the FIRE Coalition leadership, and its information is erroneous, to say the least. The FIRE Coalition had approximately 75 FIRE Teams in 2007. Last year that number surpassed 100, and is currently over 125 teams, with an additional 200+ individuals on a waiting list who desire to start FIRE Teams in their communities.

The FIRE Coalition is a non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)3 that works with Members of Congress, the nation’s largest group of state legislators fighting for enforcement of our laws (State Legislators for Legal Immigration), the largest veterans group (The American Legion), the largest women’s group, (Concerned Women for America), 60 other organizations as official partners, and tens of thousands of American citizens of all ethnicities. Are we to assume that the SPLC thinks these 3.5 million Americans are “nativist extremists” as well? The “sleeping giants” are patriotic Americans, not extremists.

In a 2005 article by Dustin Inman Society’s D.A. King,

What is the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)? Judging from pictures of their expansion, below, they are very well off, indeed. From the article Lump of Coal:

... human nature being what it is, there always seems to be a lump of coal lurking among the sugarplums. We were reminded of this unpleasant fact again by a Journal reader in Arlington who considered making a contribution to the Southern Poverty Law Center, listed as No. 0454 in the Combined Federal Campaign...

In fact, unknown to most CFC donors, the tax-exempt SPLC flunked an audit by the Arlington-based Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance, which requires that "a reasonable percentage, at least 50 percent of total income from all sources, should be applied to programs and activities directly related to the purposes for which the organization exists."

...SPLC...spent 89 percent of its total income on fund-raising and administrative costs...

Granted, administrative costs tend to run high when executive salaries are in the six-figure range. For example,... Morris Dees, SPLC's chief trial lawyer, pulls down a cool $280,699...

 ... give your hard-earned dollars to a real charity, not a bunch of slick, parasitic hucksters who live high on the hog by raising money on behalf of needy people who never see a dime of it.

http://www.thedustininmansociety.org/thousand_words/pics_splc_expands.html

Are the SPLC and Pew Hispanic Center spreading disinformation and outright lies? NO ONE at the FIRE Coalition draws a salary from the tax-deductible donations given to it. The SPLC and Pew can’t say that. We aren’t lining our pockets with six figure salaries for the cause we believe in, and by design, our national leadership and state directors are 100% volunteers.

The FIRE Coalition and its partners support the Constitution and the constitutional laws written from it. We do this openly. The SPLC calling us “extremists” for doing so is simply their being dramatic, trying to instill fear in the minds of the public. A query to the SPLC as to what criteria they used to compile the list has gone unanswered.

While many of our partners do actively seek out illegal alien hot spots, and rally in direct opposition to them, by and large the FIRE Coalition very rarely protests illegal aliens. Our leadership believes we only have two audiences: “We the People, and the people we elect.”

Illegal aliens are not part of the solution. They are a symptom of the problem. Our elected officials are failing to keep their oaths, and are failing to enforce our laws. We the People are guilty of allowing them to do so.

Like many unscrupulous politicians, groups such as the SPLC, Pew Hispanic Center, ACLU, National Council of “The Race,” are providing aid and comfort to illegal aliens, which is a felony. Homeland Security and the Justice Department should investigate them for acts of sedition, hate crimes, and conspiracy to aid and abet the largest invasion in world history. If these organizations are receiving any taxpayer monies, that should end ASAP! The 14^th Amendment of the Constitution, Section 4 states plainly that the United States cannot pay the debts of those that conspire to undermine our sovereignty and the Constitution.

The fact that the SPLC sought out Jim Gilchrist is laughable. Jim does not speak for the cause. Most patriotic Americans feel Jim has lost his way. Media whores eager for attention should show some restraint and stop pandering to foreign and domestic enemies of the Constitution and our laws. A little common sense goes a long ways.
