What a topic I chose to write on. Border violence and Illegal immigration, it is difficult to write about one and not mention the other. The pictures are not of the United States Military or of the U.S. Federal Police making a weapons seizure at the border, it is the Mexican Military making the seizure after raiding a drug cartel stronghold. From what I have learned most of the weapons were smuggled into Mexico from the United States. I have not verified this, however it would not surprise me at all. I am extremely happy however that the weapons were seized by someone. Mexico is, as a crow flies about 25 or so miles from my back door. That is too close for comfort as far as I am concerned. I know this comes as no surprise to anyone, but from where I sit, the United States has lost total control of the entire southern border, let me take that back, we have never had control of our southern borders. Granted Mexico has given it the good ole college try, but they have lost most of the battles and they are losing the drug war. The cartel and zetas are having their way. I commend the Mexican President for the effort, but it is falling far short of the desired result. Mexico needs to seal its northern borders along with the United States doing the same on our southern border, it is not rocket science, just do it, If you seal both sides of the border you are going to force the Cartels into looking else where to move their dope, and your forcing the wanna "be" illegal aliens to remain at home. You and I know the reason why Mexico does not attempt to secure its northern border, why you say? Because Mexico ain't got the money or social programs(welfare food stamps etc.) to keep people at home. Mexico is dependent on having people jump ship to America, it means they do not have to deal with the problem(s). Mexico knows the United States will house, feed, educate and provide for the medical needs of each illegal alien. Now when I say illegal alien, I do not mean that all illegal aliens are Hispanic. We have all sorts of illegal aliens from all over the world. I am sure if we look hard enough we will find ET somewhere tucked away at area "51". We've known why Mexico's citizens are fleeing their country, not all are fleeing, just the poor, who have no manner or means to make a living. Put me in the same situation, I would do the same thing. What I can not answer or understand is why the United States has failed to do something. Last week gave an indication of why Obama is doing nothing.. We have learned via a Hilliary news conference that Obama is planning to have his Attorney General file suit against the State of Arizona, challenging the new Arizona immigration law. Hillary ambushed Obama on this one, announcing the law suit in a news conference to a foreign correspondent, I wonder if Obama was a little miffed at Hillary. I thought States had the right to pass laws without interference from the Federal Government, at least that is what I thought. Arizona is doing what Obama will not do, secure it's border. I wonder now if our Governor, Rick Perry will do the same, I hope so. Another interesting bit of information that surfaced yesterday. I do not recall the name of the Congressman who is claiming to have met one on one with Obama recently, but according to Fox News yesterday, Obama said he was not going to secure the borders because he would lose his ability to bargin with the Republicans on his Immigration reform. I guess we will have to wait for the truth to surface on what was actually said. Time will tell us at some point.
Do you remember just a short few weeks back, when Mexico President Calderon was allowed to address the joint session of Congress and insult the United States, he was complaining how racist the Arizona law is. As I mentioned, Mexico wants illegal immigration; they condone it; that way Mexico does not have to deal with the issue. So lets do this, lets implement the Mexican Immigration law, that way Mexico President Calderon will not have anything to whine about, we would be using Mexican law adopted in the United States to control Illegal immigration for ALL illegal immigrants, not just Hispanics. Here is part of the Mexican Immigration law, paraphrased.
1. If you migrate to this county, you must speak the native language
2. You have to be a professional or an investor. No unskilled workers will be allowed.
3. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools, no special ballots for elections, all government
business will be conducted in Spanish.
4. Foreigners will NOT have the right to vote no matter how long they are here.
5 Foreigners will NEVER be able to hold political office.
6. Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food stamps, no health care, or other government assistance programs.
7. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.
8. If foreigners do come and want to buy land that will be okay, BUT options will be restricted. You are not allowed waterfront property. That is reserved for citizens naturally born into this country.
9. Foreigners may not protest; no demonstrations, no waving a foreign flag, no political organizing, no badmouthing our president or his policies, if you do you will be sent home.
10. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be hunted down and sent straight to jail.
There it is plain and simple. If we implemented Mexicos immigration law, what would be said at that point, I have an idea. The ACLU would have a field day with it. Local cities, county sheriffs departments sued.
I can go on and on, and I will later, we can talk about border violence.
So until later, my friends, stay safe out there, God Bless and God Bless America.......

When does this President take responsbility for his own administration? Obama is almost a year and a half into his own term and he still blames President Bush for some of the dismal failures of his own administration. It just seems to me the blame game is the way this President is going to handle some of the issues that he or his staff have no answers for. Am I saying President Bush had all the answers, or that he did not make mistakes, no I am not. Many mistakes were made by "43" and his administration. In my opinion, there has not been a President elected which has not made a mistake, they all have. To continue to play the blame game with this oil spill is not the way to solve the problem. Fix the leak, do what is necessary to get this hole plugged, after that, clean the mess up, get the Gulf coast back to work, forget about who is to blame until the Oil gusher is plugged. Once we start to see some progress, then and only then should anyone be blamed; People need help, and they need it now. It appears to me, the President is pointing fingers, it's not my fault, it's his fault, it;s their fault. Enough already, their is going to be enough blame to go around when it is all said and done. To make matters worse, hurricane season is 9 days old. Can you just imagine should we get a gulf storm, with millions and millions of gallons of oil in the Gulf, what a mess. Lets solve this problem, and we can by working together, Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Tea Party, private sector and the American people. Lets please get it done, We are Americans, we have walked on the moon, we have transplanted human organs, and I am to understand that we can not plug a hole in the middle of the Gulf. I know it's not easy, but neither was flying 240,000 miles away, land on the surface of the moon, walk around and come back, but we did it. Lets put aside our differences, get down on our knees and pray to the Almighty for an answer, it out there somewhere.
