Defend the Emigrant, Reject the Immigrant

Ecuador, a South American hispanic type nation, has an illegal immigrant problem.

Karma sucks. What goes around, comes around. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Payback's a bitch. And a bunch of other cliches.

"Arizonas" - by Simon Espinosa Jalil

Ecuador, in keeping with its new arrogant and sovereign attitude, has been one of the most fervent critics of the anti-immigration policies of the rich countries, starting from the restrictions in Spain all the way to the criminalization in Arizona. Not only that, but the government, in an attitude matching its official posture, decided to open the borders to all visitors who might want to come to our beautiful land.

The logic is that, if we defend the rights of emigrants, we must be willing to accept the aliens who might wish to enter our country, no matter where they come from or what their traits might be.

The problem, as we all already know, is that said posture was very commendable as long as the country was a land of emigrants, but it has become a headache due to the unexpected transformation of our humble Ecuador into a magnet for the destitute and for adventurers from the whole world. Now we find ourselves in the ironic situation of missing hundreds of thousands of fellow countrymen who live outside the country, while we look down on and fear the aliens who have begun to take their place.

It is, no doubt, a very interesting experience, because it's one thing to defend orally the unalienable rights of immigrants in the First World, but it's another to do so while they are within our borders. Now we have to face the same thing that is faced by countries which are the recipients of illegal immigrants, and that should make us understand that the rejection of the new arrivals is a universal feeling that cannot be condemned in passing with populist proclamations and condemnations.

Many Ecuadorans who most likely have relatives in Spain or in the United States, for example, would heartily applaud the massive deportation of Cubans, Nigerians or Chinese (although, curiously, no one has complained about the hundreds of gringos who are settling in Cotacahi or Vilcabamba....) The logical thing would be to propose a sensible migratory policy, far removed from proclamations and idealistic principles, and one that takes our contradictory situation into account.

The real problem is that there are sensible migratory policies that immigrants are ignoring. Hence, the word 'illegal'.

234 Years Ago...

... thirteen fractious and timid British Colonies proclaimed their independence to a candid world --

We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Beneath the fractiousness and timidity, lay a fierceness of purpose and dedication to liberty that carried them through to victory. After more than two centuries, do we, as Americans, still possess that fierceness to continue even a few more years?

Jefferson wrote in that Declaration of Independence, "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

Do we still possess the dedication to right ourselves and correct the wrongs that have been done? On this dark 4th, I pray that we do.

First Amendment Suspended for Deepwater Horizon Spill

Media access to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has been restricted by unknown government agents since late May "in the name of protecting wildlife and habitat" David Carr of the New York Times wrote on June 7th. New Orleans Times-Picayune photographer Ted Jackson, told the AP, access "is slowly being strangled off." A few days later, Jackson said the situation had reversed, "I am not sure what happened exactly, but the restrictions seem to have just gone away," adding that, as of Tuesday, he could hire a plane and fly where he needed.

More severe restrictions have recently been issued by Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen according to CNNs Anderson Cooper in violation of the 1st Amendment that guarantees freedom of the press.

The situation became so serious that even Al Gore protested the restrictions June 14 calling them "disturbing." Some have claimed the government issued restrictions are part of a BP scheme to scuttle news coverage of a bad situation. If so, then BP and the Obama administration must be acting in concert to not only restrict media access, but also to keep America and the world in the dark about any possible collusion.

And this happening as, We the People, once again celebrate the birth of this great nation.

Nancy Pelosi is Amazing

It is truly amazing how she has gone through 70 years of life without a brain. In this video, Miss Nancy actually says unemployment checks "creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name."

Remember, you can ask any economist who will, Nancy assures us, tell us the same thing.

Amazing, just amazing.

Obama Immigration Reform Speech

Address at American University, July 1, 2010.


You Tube

Every example Obama gives for opening our borders are of immigrants, legal immigrants, who complied with the immigration laws of the United States. Einstein, Tesla, Carnegie - all legal immigrants. From 1991 to 2000, 10-11 million legal immigrants were admitted, that's more than in any decade before, a population increase of 1/3 of 1%. Previously, the highest immigration decade was 1901-1910 when 8.8 million people arrived legally, an increase of about 1% in population. But, it isn't the legal immigrant who is in question; it is the illegal immigrants who crash the borders, smuggle themselves and others into the country, and by doing so, commit a crime with far too many going on to commit more crimes. California prisons are 1/3 occupied by convicts who entered the US illegally and committed further crimes, while Phoenix, Arizona is the US kidnapping capital, second only to Mexico City in the Americas.

Obama was also wrong about the Emma Lazarus "give us your poor" poem that is attached not to the Statue of Liberty, but to the pedestal upon which Lady Liberty stands. France donated the giant statue to America, mostly because they had no place to put it and wanted to get rid of it, years before Lazarus (a Jewish Zionist) had written her poem, "The New Colossus," about the giant statue of a "mighty woman... Mother of Exiles" crying out silently to the worlds displaced persons "yearning to breathe free."

No one is denying the opportunity of immigration to the United States, no one is denying the valued history of immigration, no one is denying the immense contribution to the richness of America that immigrants have invested, no one is denying the advances in science, medicine, the arts, cuisine, and general quality of life. All we are asking of immigrants and our Federal government is to follow the laws of entry, enforce the laws of entry. If that were to happen, then, welcome, come on in.
