Desert Invasion: My latest Speech--I attack Bush

[Republican_Man]

This is my latest speech, and in here I attack the Bush Administration. It's all about Immigration.


Desert Invasion: The Border Crisis

September 11th, 2001: The most devastating attack on American soil occurred. A place struck each World Trade Center Tower. A plane collided with the Pentagon. And another crashed in Pennsylvania. We had a looming threat on our hands that had lurked in the background of our country for decades, but until then was not truly realized: It was the threat of world-wide terrorism. In this time of desperate new need for protection of the United States, we are faced with a massive crisis. This crisis is along our Southern Border. This crisis is the Desert Invasion. It is the Border Crisis.
8 to 12 million illegal aliens are now in the United States. That is what Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge testified to on December 9th, 2003-and that was before President Bush�s horrific immigration proposal. The Center for Immigration Studies believes that 700,000 to 800,000 illegal aliens are settling in our country each year. Senator John McCain of Arizona, a major border state being invaded, said, however, that about 4 million immigrants entered our country illegally in 2002. 4 million in one year!
The US Border Patrol censors some of the amounts of illegal immigrants-why would they not?-and thusly the number of lawbreakers entering our sovereign nation is higher than official numbers. The Border Patrol has reported that only one fifth of illegal immigrants are apprehended, however field agents state the apprehensions are much, much lower, as stated by the website desertinvasion.us. Forbes magazine has stated that only 4% of alien invaders crossing in Texas are caught and then prosecuted--only four percent! If true, then we really do have a horrible problem.
The New York Times, a liberal newspaper, and liberals tend to be liberal on this issue, stated in a May 23rd article this year that 660,000 people were detained between October 1st 2003 and April 2004. So, think about it. Desertinvasion.us stated about this, quote, �Thus, 660,000 illegal aliens were apprehended over a six month period, or 1.2 million over an entire year. If, as the Border Patrol claims, that one in five are apprehended, 1.2 million x 5 = 6 million per year crossing the southern U.S. border, with 4.8 million avoiding apprehension and staying in the US. If only one in ten are apprehended, a total of 12 million illegals per year are crossing the southern U.S. Border, with 10.8 million avoiding apprehension and staying in the U.S.� That is a frightening statistic, but think about it: if 1.2 million were caught, and that�s only 1/5 of the illegals crossing over, what does that mean? Too many alien invaders.
In an article on June 14th 2004 on VDARE.com entitled �It�s Official! Bush Betrayal Triggered Wave of Illegals� quotes official statistics from the Border Patrol: �The U.S. Border Patrol made 135,468 apprehensions along the southwest border during April 2004, an 80 percent increase when compared to April 2003.�
If so, then you must multiply that number by 12, counting for each month, and if you do so, then 1,625,616 illegal immigrants are caught per year, and then if you multiply that statistic by five, because that is only 1/5 of the amount captured, the result is 8.1 million illegal entries coming across the border per year. Come on, that�s a big problem.
Many other statistics show similar results. Of course these calculations assume that each year and month is consistent. However, if decently accurate, these are frightening statistics. However, the said calculations do not include what are called OTMs, or Other Than Mexicans. Border Patrol spokesman Rob Daniels has stated, quote, �Since September 11th, we�re restricted in what we can say about OTMs because of national security.� Retired patrolman Stoddard said, �There are so many OTMs that there is now a special designation for those that might pose a threat. They call them SIAs, or Special Interest Aliens.� Another retired patrolman, Special Agent John Slagle, stated in his book Illegal Entries, that the Patrol releases low number figures. An actual former patrolman stated that. This is remarkably disturbing. Something must be done. Also, the population has skyrocketed because of this since 1970, and it is only projected to get bigger.
Now, let�s get to the bigger picture: On January 9th, 2004, President Bush announced an extremely foolish--forget that, STUPID and IDIOTIC--plan--a guest worker proposal--which in actuality is an amnesty for those who broke our laws. A grave mistake. But that�s not the crux of the matter. The crux of the matter is the fact that this amnesty said this to possible immigrants: that they can brake our laws and be rewarded. Ridiculous. If I was a Mexican citizen--or a terrorist, for that matter--I would think, �Oh, yes! President Bush made a plan that will give me benefits! I�ll just sneak over the border and get everything I want! Yay!� This plan would give those that brake our laws rewards! Hence, what would happen--or rather, what has happened? Illegal immigration skyrocketed. On February 19th, 2004, a FOX News article stated that 50 to 90% of illegal immigrants after the amnesty proposal was made came over to take advantage of it! And not just that, but aliens from other countries, such as Brazilians, Venezuelans, Pakistanis, Chinese, and Chileans crossed out borders. That is why this bill must be stopped and our borders defended better. Official Border Patrol statistics even say that illegal immigration went up 190% from 2003 statistics.
However, we must consider all of the consequences about this situation. First of all, jobs are being ripped away from rightful citizens and those immigrants that have come here legally. That is wrong. Is this fair to those people who follow our laws and wait years to come to our great country? No, it is not. Second of all, is it fair that thousands upon thousands upon thousands of illegal immigrants are able to get welfare--and they broke are laws and aren't even legal citizens, and yet they get what legal citizens get! That is not fair. And they are able to use our hospitals, and because of this many have been closed down--they've been forced to report bankrupcy. That is not right!
However, what we must really be concerned about is the terrorist situation. With a relatively large amount of OTMs entering the country each month, it�s simple to assume that terrorists are coming through, which they have. And with the laxed border security, it would not be too hard for terrorists to smuggle in chemical, biological, or perhaps nuclear components into the country, which would be a dire scenario.
Infact, Wednesday night FOX News' Bill O'Reilly reported that a captured terrorist actually stated that Al Quada was working to move WMDs into the US via Mexico. That is frightening. However, there is little that can be done to stop it, because if literally tons and tons of Narrotics and bulks of Marijuana come through, what does that say that a WMD, such as a nuclear device, can't come through? If successful, America could be destroyed--from within. But that's if we do nothing about it.
This is why we must act now. The Border Patrol, although its men have increased 1000 since September 11th and its technology has improved, can do little about this threat, and has done little. That is why we must act. That is why I say soon, within the next three to four months, we should put the National Guard on our border. Having the National Guard on our border would surely scare more immigrants away as well as stop this alien invasion.
Once the border is blocked off, we can allow this amnesty to happen, because few illegals would be able to enter through the southern border to take advantage of it, and we cannot deport the millions of lawbrakers.
But before we do that, we must take a stand. We must protect American jobs and money and citizenship rights. But paramount to all of those necessities, we must protect the United States of America, especially in this time of terrorism. I leave you with this quote: "Calling an illegal alien and undocumented immigrant is like calling a burglar an uninvited houseguest."

Agreed. Bush has done a bad job when it comes to this. Im not going to say I hate the fact that Mexican people are coming into the States. They work hard and I have a few Mexican friends. That may not justify it but it does justify me not saying I don't want them here.

What frightens me is that Terrorists can sneak weapons using Mexico and America's borders. I always thought that they might. Something must be done. Has Bush mentioned any thing about this?
