HOW GOVERNMENT DISGUISES ITS AGENDA TO FOOL THE PEOPLE

I
have read a commentary that appears in today's edition of ILW.com
that is focused on immigration and the needs of immigration attorneys.
You will notice that the term "Comprehensive Immigration Reform"
is nowhere to be found in the article. The alias now being used to describe
Comprehensive Immigration Reform is "CIR." These are the initials
of Comprehensive Immigration Reform. As the saying goes, "A rose
by any other name..."
When I was a young boy growing up in Brooklyn there was a silly joke/riddle
making the rounds back in junior high school (today that school is referred
to as intermediate school). You would ask, "What did Tarzan say
when he saw the elephant walking down the road/" The answer was,
"Here come the elephants walking down the road.) Next you would
ask, "What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephant walking down
the road while he was wearing sunglasses?" Most kids would say,
"Here comes the elephant walking down the road with sunglasses
on." You were supposed to respond by saying, "You are wrong
dummy: Tarzan couldn't recognize the elephant because he was wearing
sunglasses!"
The idea that you could disguise a huge elephant by making him wear
sunglasses was obviously preposterous- it is no less preposterous that
the attorneys believe that using the initials CIR instead of the term
Comprehensive Immigration Reform would confuse us!
Clearly the immigration lawyers know where their bread is buttered!
Imagine the incentive that they have to push and push hard to see Comprehensive
Immigration Reform (CIR) enacted. They would have more clients than
they would know what to do with! The Comprehensive Immigration Reform
Act that crashed and burned in the United States Senate last year, among
other things, would have required the federal government to subsidize
legal fees for all of the illegal aliens who would have filed for amnesty!!!
Stop and contemplate this. When you file a tax return as mandated by
law- federal law, state law and perhaps, even city law, are your accounting
fees subsidized by your government on any level?
You abide by the law, work your tail off seeking to support yourself
and your family members and you have to pay for the services of the
accountant or tax preparer who assists you in meeting your legal obligation
to file a tax return. Yet illegal aliens would have been provided with
subsidized legal assistance! If this is government by the people and
for the people, what people are they referring to?
The attorneys and the politicians know damned well that the great majority
of the citizens of our nation oppose CIR (Comprehensive Immigration
Reform). That is obviously the reason for the change in nomenclature.
The time has come for We the People to establish a relationship with
our politicians who purport to represent us. We the People need to let
the members of the House of Representatives and the United States Senate
precisely where we stand on the issue of CIR (Comprehensive Immigration
Reform).
The idea that somehow the enforcement of the immigration laws that are
already on the books should be balanced by admitting an additional one
half million lawful immigrants is sheer lunacy!
If CIR is permitted to be enacted into law, there will be no going back!
The impact on our nation will be nothing short of devastating. I said
that "If CIR is permitted to be enacted into law" because
our government is supposed to be governed by the principle of "representative
democracy." No matter how screwed up so many politicians may be,
they all are sensitive to the will of the constituents who can vote
them onto the unemployment line.
The way that these politicians become aware of the will of their constituents
is when We the People call the politicians, write them (e-mail, 'snail
mail' or fax), or arrange to visit with a staffer and ask to see the
politician, himself.
The so much hanging in the balance, it is vital that we put aside other
issues and make this effort a major priority! It is vital for our nation's
security and survival and it is vital for our futures and the future
of our children and their children!
I
have written this commentary to try to alert you to the challenges confronting
our nation. Now it is up to you, the citizens of this nation, to contact
your elected representatives and demand that they represent you and
your family and to protect our nation. This is the burden all Americans
must bear.
Many years ago there was a clever campaign mounted by the American Red
Cross. They hung signs in buses and subway cars in New York City that
were aimed at those New Yorkers who would fail to donate blood by saying,
"Remember, to the other guy, you are the other guy! This certainly
applies in this situation.

The
safety of our nation begins at its borders. It is therefore essential
that our borders be secured and that our immigration bureaucracy honor
those who abide by the laws and seeks to weed out those who would commit
fraud and those who would assist them.
This is neither a Conservative issue, nor is it a Liberal issue- simply
stated, this is most certainly an AMERICAN issue!
You are either part of the solution or you are a part of the problem!
