Immigrating
America Into a Colony of Mexico
Article by Frosty Wooldridge
America
faces a greater and more dangerous threat from within than from without. While
our armed forces secure Afghanistan and Iraq, our own borders stand unguarded
24 hours a day. Al-Qaeda insurgents plan their next attacks somewhere inside
our country. They advocate a violent overthrow of America.
We’ve got an even more
ominous enemy within our borders that promotes “Reconquista of Aztlan” or the
reconquest of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas into the country of
Mexico. With 9.2 million Mexicans now living in America, their goal of
colonizing our country back into Mexico moves forward. A more sobering reality
stems from the evidence that it’s Mexican-American citizens in the forefront of
this disintegration of our country.
THE SHOCKING FACTS ON
OBAMAS SABOTAGE OF OUR BORDERS AND SURRENDER TO MEXICO FOR LA RAZA SUPREMACY IN
AMERICA – DEMS BUILD THEIR PARTY BASE of ILLEGALS AND KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED WITH
ENDLESS HORDES OF MEXICANS
ONLY LA RAZA ILLEGALS HAVE MORE
CONTEMPT FOR AMERICANS, AMERICAN BORDERS AND AMERICAN LAWS THAN BARACK OBAMA!
OBAMA’S VISION OF AMERICA IS ONE
RULED BY AND FOR HIS WALL STREET BANKSTERS AND FLOODED WITH MEXICANS TO KEEP
WAGES DEPRESSED. IN THE FACE OF LA RAZA, OBAMA HAS REFERRED TO AMERICANS
(Legals) AS “OUR ENEMIES!
NOW OBAMA ATTEMPTS HIS NEXT WAVE OF AMNESTY. IF OBAMA IS UNABLE TO SCAM THE NATION AGAIN WITH AMNESTY, HE WILL HAND LA RAZA A BIT BY BIT BY BIT AMNESTY, AS HE DID WITH HIS DREAM ACT PLOY JUST BEFORE THE ELECTION.
NOW OBAMA ATTEMPTS HIS NEXT WAVE OF AMNESTY. IF OBAMA IS UNABLE TO SCAM THE NATION AGAIN WITH AMNESTY, HE WILL HAND LA RAZA A BIT BY BIT BY BIT AMNESTY, AS HE DID WITH HIS DREAM ACT PLOY JUST BEFORE THE ELECTION.

OBAMA’S SECRET AGENDA OF OPEN BORDERS WITH NARCOMEX
Barack Obama
and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper quietly have taken a major step
toward erasing the border between the two nations with a new "Beyond the
Border" bilateral declaration.
In a ceremony
designed to remain below the radar of national public opinion, Obama and Harper
bypassed Congress to sign on the basis of their executive authority a
declaration that put in place a new national security vision defined not by
U.S. national borders, but by a continental view of a "North American
perimeter."
It happened Friday, the day the Obama
administration usually pushes through issues that it prefers the media ignore.
By signing the declaration, the Obama
administration has implemented without congressional approval a key initiative
President Bush began under the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North
America, moving the United States and Canada beyond the North American Free
Trade Agreement, commonly known as NAFTA, toward a developing North American
Union regional government.
The declaration signed by the two heads of state
and titled "Beyond the Border: A Shared Vision for Perimeter Security and
Economic Competitiveness," was described as "For Immediate
Release" on the websites of the White House and the Canadian chief executive.
Harper
followed Obama's lead in signing the declaration as a form of executive order,
deciding to bypass the Canadian parliament, much as Obama had decided against
taking a proposed bilateral "Beyond the Border" declaration to
Congress for prior review and approval.
The decision to declare a continental perimeter for
the United States and Canada, designed to effectively combine the two nations
in mutual national security and economic efforts, affirms the Obama
administration's intent to implement the key objectives of the Security and
Prosperity Partnership of North American in a way that avoids the type of
public scrutiny and criticism that dogged President George W. Bush after he
openly declared his plans with the SPP....
WND previously reported that the Obama
administration replaced the content of the SPP website, spp.gov, under the
title "Commerce Connect," which announces its purpose as "a
one-stop shop for information, counseling and government services that can help
U.S. businesses around the country transform themselves into globally
competitive enterprises."
Now, the Obama administration has made the spp.gov
website totally inoperative....

The SPP.gov website was created under the W Bush
administration and was active from 2005-2008, and remained up until Obama
recently took it down. Here's a 2008 version of the website from the Wayback
Machine.
Here is an organization founded by myself and D.A.
King, a fellow Georgia activist and patriot. Here's the website: Society for
American Sovereignty
Notice the similarity in design? What fun!

ARE
WE NOT A LOOTED COLONY OF MEXICO'S? WHERE THEY EXPORT POVERTY, CRIMINALS AND
ANCHOR BABY BREEDERS AND BUILD THEIR MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL MARKETS?
Monday, June 16, 2008
Tonight,
we’ll have all the latest on the devastating floods in the Midwest and all the
day’s news from the campaign trail. The
massive corporate mouthpiece the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is holding a “North
American Forum” to lay out its “shared vision” for the United States, Canada
and Mexico – which is to say a borderless, pro-business super-state in which
U.S. sovereignty will be dissolved. Undercover investigators have found
incredibly lax security and enforcement at U.S. border crossings, according to
a new report by the Government Accountability Office. This report comes on the
heels of a separate report by U.C. San Diego that shows tougher border security
efforts aren’t deterring illegal entries to the United States.

The
Administration's Phantom Immigration Enforcement Policy
According to
DHS’s own reports, very little of our nation’s borders (Southwestern or
otherwise) are secure, and gaining control is not even a goal of the
department.

The
setting was not quite the flight deck of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln with a
“Mission Accomplished” banner as the backdrop, but it was the next best thing. Speaking at the Center for American Progress (CAP) on
Nov. 13, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano declared victory over
illegal immigration and announced that the Obama administration is ready to
move forward with a mass amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens already
living in the United States.
Arguing
the Obama administration’s case for amnesty, Napolitano laid out what she
described as the “three-legged stool” for immigration reform. As the
administration views it, immigration reform must include “a commitment to
serious and effective enforcement, improved legal flows for families and
workers, and a firm but fair way to deal with those who are already here.”
Acknowledging
that a lack of confidence in the government’s ability and commitment to
effectively enforce the immigration laws it passes proved to be the Waterloo of
previous efforts to gain amnesty for illegal aliens, Napolitano was quick to
reassure the American public that those concerns could be put to rest.
“For
starters, the security of the Southwest border has been transformed from where
it was in 2007,” stated the secretary. Not only is the border locked up tight,
she continued, but the situation is well in-hand in the interior of the country
as well. “We’ve also shown that the government is serious and strategic in its
approach to enforcement by making changes in how we enforce the law in the
interior of the country and at worksites…Furthermore, we’ve transformed
worksite enforcement to truly address the demand side of illegal immigration.”
If
Rep. Joe Wilson had been in attendance to hear Secretary Napolitano’s CAP
speech he might well have had a few choice comments to offer. But since he
wasn’t, we will have to rely on the Department of Homeland Security’s own data
to assess the veracity of Napolitano’s claims.
According to DHS’s own reports, very little of our nation’s
borders (Southwestern or otherwise) are secure, and gaining control is not even
a goal of the department. DHS claims to have “effective control” over just 894
miles of border. That’s 894 out of 8,607 miles they are charged with
protecting. As for the other 7,713 miles? DHS’s stated border security goal for
FY 2010 is the same 894 miles.
The
administration’s strategic approach to interior and worksite enforcement is
just as chimerical as its strategy at the border, unless one considers
shuffling paper to be a strategy. DHS data,
released November 18, show that administrative arrests of immigration law
violators fell by 68 percent between 2008 and 2009. The department also carried
out 60 percent fewer arrests for criminal violations of immigration laws, 58
percent fewer criminal indictments, and won 63 percent fewer convictions.
While
the official unemployment rate has climbed from 7.6 percent when President
Obama took office in January to 10 percent today, the administration’s worksite
enforcement strategy has amounted to a bureaucratic game of musical chairs. The
administration has all but ended worksite enforcement actions and replaced them
with paperwork audits. When the audits determine that illegal aliens are on the
payroll, employers are given the opportunity to fire them with little or no
adverse consequence to the company, while no action is taken to remove the
illegal workers from the country. The illegal workers simply acquire a new set
of fraudulent documents and move on to the next employer seeking workers
willing to accept substandard wages.
In
Janet Napolitano’s alternative reality a mere 10 percent of our borders under
“effective control”and sharp declines in arrests and prosecutions of
immigration lawbreakers may be construed as confidence builders, but it is hard
to imagine that the American public is going to see it that way. If anything, the administration’s
record has left the public less confident that promises of future immigration
enforcement would be worth the government paper they’re printed on.
As
Americans scrutinize the administration’s plans to overhaul immigration policy,
they are likely to find little in the “three-legged stool” being offered that
they like or trust. The first leg – enforcement – the administration has all
but sawed off. The second – increased admissions
of extended family members and workers –makes little sense with some 25 million
Americans either unemployed or relegated to part-time work. And the
third – amnesty for millions of illegal aliens – is anathema to their sense of
justice and fair play.

In California, League of United Latin American Citizens has
adopted a resolution to declare "California Del Norte" a sanctuary
zone for immigrants. The declaration urges the Mexican government to invoke its
rights under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo "to seek third‑nation neutral
arbitration of disputes concerning immigration laws and their

Is
This Our America Anymore?
Buried in the
Oct. 30 Washington Post was a bland headline: "Report Points to Faster
Recovery in Jobs for Immigrants."
The story, however, contained social dynamite
that explains the rage of Americans who are smeared as nativists and xenophobes
for demanding a timeout on immigration.
In
the April-May-June quarter, foreign-born workers in the U.S. gained 656,000
jobs. And native-born Americans lost 1.2 million.
From
July 1, 2009, to June 30, 2010, foreign-born Hispanics gained 98,000
construction jobs. Native-born Hispanics lost 133,000. Black and white U.S.
construction workers lost 511,000 jobs.
According
to the Center for Immigration Studies, from Jan. 1, 2000, to Jan. 1, 2010, 13.1
million immigrants, legal and illegal, entered the United States, a decade in
which America lost 1 million jobs.
From
2008 and 2009, the figures are startling. In 24 months, 2.4 million immigrants,
legal and illegal, arrived, as U.S. citizens were losing 8.6 million jobs.
Query: Why are we importing a million-plus
workers a year when 17 million Americans can't find work? Whose country is
this?
Why do we not declare a moratorium on all
immigration, until our unemployment rate falls to 6 or 5 percent? Charity
begins at home. Ought we not take care of our own jobless first before we
invite in strangers to take their jobs?
According to the Pew Hispanic Center, each year
between 300,000 and 400,000 "anchor babies" are born to illegal
aliens. These newborns are entitled to citizenship, free health care and
education, welfare and food stamps
Their parents -- almost all are poor or working
class -- rarely pay any state or federal income tax.
How long can we keep granting citizenship and
full social welfare benefits to the children of people who break our laws and
break into our country or overstay their visas? How long can we keep bringing
in workers to take jobs when our unemployment rate hovers around 10 percent?
Again, according to the Pew Center, the number
of anchor babies here now is about 4 million. Add to that 3 million to 4
million born each decade, and it will not be long before Colorado, Nevada,
Arizona and Texas resemble California, which is on the brink of default.
If no action is taken, the Republican Party will
soon be unable, even in wave elections, to win the presidency, as it won
nothing and indeed lost state legislative seats in California in 2010.
The border will disappear, and America will be a
geographical expression, not a country anymore.
Legal scholar William Quirk describes a new
phenomenon in the invasion of America: "maternity tourism." Pregnant
Asian women pay $15,000 to agents to ensure they are in the United States when
their child is born so that they can return home secure in the knowledge he or
she will be a U.S. citizen with the right to a U.S.-taxpayer subsidized
education in college.
Though the nation has awakened to the threat to
social cohesion and national solvency, Harry Reid is still attempting to ram
through a lame-duck Senate an amnesty for illegal aliens up to age 30 who claim
they were brought here before they were 16, have a high school diploma or GED
and state that they intend to go to college within six years.
An estimated 2.1 million illegal aliens would be
amnestied, put on a path to citizenship, and be eligible for student loans and
more.
According to Alabama's Jeff Sessions, ranking
Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee:
"Aliens granted amnesty by the DREAM Act
will have the legal right to petition for entry of their family members,
including their adult brothers and sisters and the parents who illegally
brought or sent them to the United States, once they become naturalized U.S.
citizens. In less than a decade, this reality could easily double or triple the
2.1 million green cards that will be immediately distributed as a result of the
DREAM Act."
Lawbreaking
would be rewarded. Chain migration would continue. A permanent powerful magnet
would be provided to all foreigners to sneak into the United States and be sure
to bring the kids.
As Rep. Dana Rohrabacher argues, one effect of
the DREAM Act will be to move illegals applying to college ahead of many
Americans, as 80 percent of illegals are Hispanics and eligible for affirmative
action.
U.S. soldiers coming home from Afghanistan will
"sit in back," as Obama puts it, when competing against amnestied
illegals.
Several days ago, UCLA's Kent Wong addressed a
pro-amnesty rally in Los Angeles' MacArthur Park. Wong turned the race card
face up.
When Reid's bill passes, said Wong, "the
young people of the DREAM Act movement will go on to accomplish and do great
things. ... You will go on to become lawyers, teachers, doctors and members of
the U.S. Congress to replace those old white men ... ."
If
the DREAM Act passes, Wong is right about whose time has come and gone. May the
tea party take names at the call of the roll.

HAS OBAMA SURRENDERED
TO MEXICO?
America
faces a greater and more dangerous threat from within than from without. While
our armed forces secure Afghanistan and Iraq, our own borders stand unguarded
24 hours a day. Al-Qaeda insurgents plan their next attacks somewhere inside
our country. They advocate a violent overthrow of America.
We’ve
got an even more ominous enemy within our borders that promotes “Reconquista of
Aztlan” or the reconquest of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas into the
country of Mexico. With 9.2 million Mexicans now living in America, their goal
of colonizing our country back into Mexico moves forward. A more sobering
reality stems from the evidence that it’s Mexican-American citizens in the
forefront of this disintegration of our country.
What
is the evidence? Because of massive immigration from south of the border, more
Mexican flags brazenly fly in Los Angeles and surrounding cities than Old
Glory. More Spanish speaking radio stations broadcast than English speaking.
More people speak foreign languages than English in the City of Angels. More
school kids can’t speak our national language in California. It’s so bad in the
Golden Bear State, last year 800,000 Americans fled abrasive conditions growing
like a cancer in southern California. Worse, the “18th Street Gang” in Los
Angeles features 20,000 members with 60 percent of them being illegal aliens.
They coordinate drug traffic, robberies and extortion. Finally, the corruption
is so great, ‘Special Order 40,’ augmented by the Los Angeles Police
Department, makes it impossible to arrest, detain or deport illegal aliens.
Little wonder more than three million operate in California.
But
as their numbers grow and their allegiance remains with Mexico, this country is
at risk of an internal coup. But the worst danger comes from our own citizens
of Mexican heritage. They want our southwestern United States back. Will they
take it by violence? Use an army? No! They are colonizing us by sheer numbers.
They are the fastest growing ethnic group in America, but they have no
allegiance to our country.
They
are organized, too. The following are two speeches from a dozen others:
Augustin Cebada, Information Minister of Brown Berets, militant para-military
soldiers of Aztlan shouting at U.S. citizens at an Independence Day rally in
Los Angeles: "Augustin Cebada, Brown Berets, we're here today to show LA,
show the minority people here, the Anglo-Saxons, that we are here, the
majority. We do the work in this city, we take care of the spoiled brat
children, we clean their offices, we pick the food, we do the manufacturing in
the factories of LA, we are the majority here. We're here in Westwood, this is
the fourth time we've been here in the last two months, to show white
Anglo-Saxon Protestant LA, the few of you who remain, that we are the majority,
and we claim this land as ours, it's always been ours, and we're still here,
and none of the talk about deporting. If anyone's going to be deported it's
going to be you! Go back to Simi Valley, you skunks! Go back to Boston! To back
to the Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You're old and
tired. Go on. We have beaten you, leave like beaten rats. You old white people,
it is your duty to die. Right now we're already controlling those elections by
violence or nonviolence. Through love of having children we're going to take
over." Other demonstrators: "Raza fuerza (brown race power), this is
Aztlan, this is Mexico. They're the pilgrims on our land. Go back to the Nina,
the Pinta, the Santa Maria."
If
you don’t think he’s serious about taking over our border states, try this guy
on for size: Jose Angel Gutierrez, Professor, University of Texas at Arlington,
founder La Raza Party at UC Riverside: "The border remains a military
zone. We remain a hunted people. Now you think you have a destiny to fulfill in
the land that historically has been ours for forty thousand years. And we're a
new Mestizo nation. And they want us to discuss civil rights. Civil rights.
What law made by white men to oppress all of us of color, female and male. This
is our homeland. We are not immigrants that came from another country to
another country. We are migrants, free to travel the length and breadth of the
Americas because we belong here. We are millions. We have an aging white
America. They are not making babies. They are dying. It's a matter of time. The
explosion is in our population."
For a
sleepy American public and a politically correct Congress, the colonization of
America by a foreign country proceeds quietly, pervasively, methodically and
perversely. Forty-six Mexican consulates operate and dictate in major cities
across our country. Mexico’s President Fox visits and makes demands. They’re
pouring over our borders like water over a broken dam.
Our
resources are being drained at $56 billion annually. Immigrants send $15
billion back to Mexico. They send $25 billion back to South America and $16
billion back to Asia. Our annual trade deficit exceeds $400 billion. Over $100 billion in cash flows
out of our borders for drugs. We pay billions for illegals in our medical systems,
schools and ESL classes. According to Professor Borgas of Harvard, American
workers lose $133 billion in wages to illegal aliens taking over American jobs.
“Immigrant
advocacy groups no longer promote legal immigration, citizenship, learning
English or any other assimilation into this country. Hispanic-rights groups
talk of reoccupation and repatriation of the southwestern United States,” wrote
Linda Bentley in “Paving the Way to Aztlan: With Propaganda, Politics, Racism.”
Do
you want America to be split up? Do you want Texas to become a state of Mexico?
Do you want America to become as corrupt as Mexico? Do you want the filth,
squalor and diseases of Mexico to become a part of America’s reality? Do you
want to give up California to Aztlan? Do you want America to become a part of
the Third World?
Keep
doing nothing about this immigration invasion and you’ll get your wish.

What will America stand
for in 2050?
The US should
think long and hard about the high number of Latino immigrants.
By
Lawrence Harrison
Palo Alto, Calif.
President Obama
has encouraged Americans to start laying a new foundation for the country – on
a number of fronts. He has stressed that we'll need to have the courage to make
some hard choices. One of those hard choices is how to handle immigration. The
US must get serious about the tide of legal and illegal immigrants, above all
from Latin America.
It's not just a
short-run issue of immigrants competing with citizens for jobs as unemployment
approaches 10 percent or the number of uninsured straining the quality of
healthcare. Heavy immigration from Latin America threatens our cohesiveness as
a nation.
The political
realities of the rapidly growing Latino population are such that Mr. Obama may
be the last president who can avert the permanent, vast underclass implied by
the current Census Bureau projection for 2050.
Do I sound like a
right-wing "nativist"? I'm not. I'm a lifelong Democrat; an early and
avid supporter of Obama. I'm gratified by his nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to
the Supreme Court. I'm also the grandson of Eastern European Jewish immigrants;
and a member, along with several other Democrats, of the advisory boards of the
Federation for American Immigration Reform and Pro English. Similar concerns
preoccupied the distinguished Democrat Barbara Jordan when she chaired the
congressionally mandated US Commission on Immigration Reform in the 1990s.
Congresswoman
Jordan was worried about the adverse impact of high levels of legal and illegal
immigration on poor citizens, disproportionately Latinos and African-Americans.
The principal beneficiaries of our current immigration policy are affluent Americans
who hire immigrants at substandard wages for low-end work. Harvard economist
George Borjas estimates that American workers lose $190 billion annually in
depressed wages caused by the constant flooding of the labor market at the
low-wage end.
The healthcare
cost of the illegal workforce is especially burdensome, and is subsidized by
taxpayers. To claim Medicaid, you must be legal, but as the Health and Human
Services inspector general found, 47 states allow self-declaration of status
for Medicaid. Many hospitals and clinics are going broke because of the
constant stream of uninsured, many of whom are the estimated 12 million to 15
million illegal immigrants. This translates into reduced services, particularly
for lower-income citizens.
The US population
totaled 281 million in 2000. About 35 million, or 12.5 percent, were Latino.
The Census Bureau projects that our population will reach 439 million in 2050,
a 56 percent increase over the 2000 census. The Hispanic population in 2050 is
projected at 133 million – 30 percent of the total and almost quadruple the
2000 level. Population growth is the principal threat to the environment via
natural resource use, sprawl, and pollution. And population growth is fueled
chiefly by immigration.
Consider what this,
combined with worrisome evidence that Latinos are not melting into our cultural
mainstream, means for the US. Latinos have contributed some positive cultural
attributes, such as multigenerational family bonds, to US society. But the same
traditional values that lie behind Latin America's difficulties in achieving
democratic stability, social justice, and prosperity are being substantially
perpetuated among Hispanic-Americans.
Latin America's
cultural problem is apparent in the persistent Latino high school dropout rate
– 40 percent in California, according to a recent study – and the high
incidence of teenage pregnancy, single mothers, and crime. The perpetuation of
Latino culture is facilitated by the Spanish language's growing challenge to
English as our national language. It makes it easier for Latinos to avoid the
melting pot and for education to remain a low priority, as it is in Latin
America – a problem highlighted in recent books by former New York City deputy
mayor Herman Badillo, a Puerto Rican, and Mexican-Americans Lionel Sosa and
Ernesto Caravantes.
Language is the
conduit of culture. Consider: There is no word in Spanish for
"compromise" (compromiso means "commitment") nor for
"accountability," a problem that is compounded by a verb structure
that converts "I dropped (broke, forgot) something" into "it got
dropped" ("broken," "forgotten").
In a letter to me
in 1991, Mexican-American columnist Richard Estrada described the essence of
the problem of immigration as one of numbers. We should really worry, he wrote,
"when the numbers begin to favor not only the maintenance and
replenishment of the immigrants' source culture, but also its overall growth,
and in particular growth so large that the numbers not only impede assimilation
but go beyond to pose a challenge to the traditional culture of the American
nation."
Obama should
confront the challenges by enforcing immigration laws on employment to help end
illegal immigration. We should calibrate legal immigration annually to (1) the
needs of the economy, as Ms. Jordan urged, and (2) past performance of
immigrant groups with respect to acculturation.
We must declare
our national language to be English and discourage the proliferation of
Spanish- language media. We should limit citizenship by birth to the offspring
of citizens. And we should provide immigrants with easy-to-access educational
services that facilitate acculturation, including English language,
citizenship, and American values.

ALIEN NATION: Secrets of the
Invasion
May 2006 – ALIEN NATION: Secrets of the Invasion – Why America's government invites rampant illegal immigration
It's widely regarded as America's biggest problem: Between 12 and 20 million aliens (MOST SOURCES SUGGEST THERE ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY NEARLY 40 MILLION ILLEGALS HERE NOW) – including large numbers of criminals, gang members and even terrorists – have entered this nation illegally, with countless more streaming across our scandalously unguarded borders daily.
The issue polarizes the nation, robs citizens of jobs, bleeds taxpayers, threatens America's national security and dangerously balkanizes the country into unassimilated ethnic groups with little loyalty or love for America's founding values. Indeed, the de facto invasion is rapidly transforming America into a totally different country than the one past generations have known and loved.
