It is as though yesterday I lived in a nation blessed by the Creator; where the children were expected to grow up better off and more prosperous then their parents, everyone lived together under one flag and one language, and America was the breadbasket of the world - feeding the world with it's knowledge and seeds of it's overly bountiful harvest. Yesterday, American parents could plan far out into their children's future with college savings plans as well as plan for their retirement by stashing away hoards of dollars, estimating compounded interest, calculating for their pot at the end of the rainbow. We all could expect that upon completion of a 4 yr college program that we could get a job to support us anywhere in the country, or the world. And above all, yesterday "Made In The USA" stood for quality and could compete with any other nation and win, simply based on our fundamental belief that anyone can be their best based on the freedom to achieve their best via free will. Also, that America would forever be a world's independent "superpower", more due to our Constitutionally based principles than our military might.

Today I awaken to an America that is undistinguishable to yesterdays. America is in the mist of unprecedented immigration, mostly illegal immigration, where 1 out 5 homes speak another language other than English, a colonization by Mexico that not only has flourished despite going counter to federal laws, but with the blatant blessing of the federal government, via the Executive Branch under George W. Bush, and is being aided by many prominent American Foundations and Industries. With little, or no, word from the Establishment Media that critically analyzes the ramifications of what such an injection of mostly unskilled, uneducated, with sub par health, and greatly different customs and values would have, and is having, on the social infrastructure of this country, the greatest national social reconstruction has gone greatly unreported.

Fact: If you can get past border guards and into the United States, you're no longer violating the law, according to a Kansas Court of Appeals decision. While it is illegal to enter the country without the proper documents and permissions, it is not necessarily illegal to be in the country. In its opinion, the court explained that Congress had implicitly created the distinction: "While Congress has criminalized the illegal entry into this country, it has not made the continued presence of an illegal alien in the United States a crime unless the illegal alien has previously been deported," said the opinion. The court also cited previous cases, including a 1958 Supreme Court case, which found that laws regarding illegal entry into the country "are not continuing ones, as 'entry' is limited to a particular locality and hardly suggests continuity." Many will not even give honest consideration to any system to divide the illegales into two groups: those honest and decent folks who are s

Illegal Immigrants Are Bolstering Social Security With Billions! As the debate over Social Security heats up, the estimated seven million or so illegal immigrant workers in the United States are now providing the system with a subsidy of as much as $7 billion a year. While it has been evident for years that illegal immigrants pay a variety of taxes, the extent of their contributions to Social Security is striking: the money added up to about 10 percent of last year's surplus - the difference between what the system currently receives in payroll taxes and what it doles out in pension benefits. Moreover, the money paid by illegal workers and their employers is factored into all the Social Security Administration's projections.
