Senator Harry Reid, Democrat Majority Leader of the US Senate, warned those who took on the Bureau of Land Management at the Bundy Ranch that “It’s not over.”

Apparently rattled by the claim of victory by anti-government protesters, Reid’s take on the so-called cattle battle in southern Las Vegas was, "Well, it's not over. We can't have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it's not over," Reid said.”

This is the same stupid Harry Reid who is a strong advocate of amnesty and a path to citizenship for 20-40 million illegal aliens whom have violated US borders and immigration laws, and whom cost taxpayers more than $100 billion a year.

So why the sudden concern about law and order, Harry?

The answer may be that illegals are NOT AMERICANS, which apparently buys the invaders favor with the despicable Reid.

Imagine that: A US Senator who wants to torpedo American citizens while turning a blind eye to the invasion of the land by foreign interlopers!

What the hell?

Although the federal government has finally retreated from the Bundy ranch in Nevada without inflicting or suffering serious injury or fatalities, the episode should sound a loud wake-up call to Americans queasy about the 2nd Amendment and the right of citizens to bear arms.

Make no mistake about it. The Nevada showdown was about far more than illegal cattle grazing.

Indeed, at stake was the abuse of power by a tyrannical president whom often does not respect the rule of law, the US Constitution, or the US Congress which, much to the chagrin of that president, is empowered by the Constitution as an equal partner in the role of governance.

Tyrannical power versus the right of American citizens to own private property.

Tyrannical power versus the liberty and freedom of a society in which the government governs at the consent of the governed.

POLL:  Will Lois Lerner go to jail to protect Obama?

What would have been the outcome had there been no 2nd Amendment rights to protect the patriots whom opposed the government invasion of private property?

The 2nd Amendment right of citizens to “keep and bear arms” forced fuzzy- thinking government bureaucrats to retreat as reported:

“Based on information about conditions on the ground, and in consultation with law enforcement, we have made a decision to conclude the cattle gather because of our serious concern about the safety of employees and members of the public,” BLM Director Neil Kornze said.

Without a 2nd Amendment, it is doubtful that the belligerent Obama government would have acted to avoid “serious concern about the safety of employees and members of the public.”

God Bless the 2nd Amendment!

Barack Obama has finally managed to drive Vladimir Putin from the front pages and BREAKING NEWS alerts by deploying armed US federal rangers from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in order to deal with “illegal cattle grazing” on the ranch of Cliven Bundy in Nevada.

Odd, that.

With perhaps as many as 20-40 million illegal aliens of unknown character and designs wandering about from coast to coast, Barack Obama has  declared war on several hundred  helpless cattle whose only known vice is unregulated (untaxed!) flatulence which, although it may contribute to the global warming myth, will surely dissipate, given enough time.

As reported:

A 20-year dispute between a Nevada rancher and federal rangers over illegal cattle grazing erupted into an Old West-style showdown on the open range this week, even prompting self-proclaimed members of militia groups from across the country to join the rancher in fighting what they say is U.S. “tyranny.”

What began as a legal fight between longtime rancher Cliven Bundy and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management has escalated as Bundy kept his cattle on the federal land, and the government has responded by beginning roundups of the livestock.

A confrontation teetered on violence Wednesday when Bundy family members and dozens of supporters angrily confronted a group of rangers holding Tasers and barking dogs on leashes near Bunkerville, about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.

To some, the 67-year-old Bundy is a hero who hails from a long family of ranchers stretching back to the Wild West.

To environmentalists and the feds, however, he’s an outlaw of sorts who owes U.S. taxpayers more than $1 million in unpaid grazing fees.”

All of one million dollars, you say?

In contrast, the growing illegal alien population sets back US taxpayers more than $100 BILLION a Year!

The story continues:

The U.S. government is rounding up Bundy’s cattle that it says have been grazing illegally on public lands in Clark County for more than 20 years, according to the land-management bureau and the National Park Service.

Between Saturday and Wednesday, contracted wranglers impounded a total of 352 cattle, federal officials said. Bundy says he owns 500 of the more than 900 cattle that federal officials are planning to confiscate for illegal grazing, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. Bundy told the newspaper that each head of his livestock is worth about $1,000.”

Once again the sheer incompetence of the Obama administration is exceeded only by the arrogance and mindless tyranny  present in the White House!

Forget the cattle, Barack! Defend our borders, defend and implement the rule of law, and remove illegal aliens from American soil—NOW!

If one were to take Jeb Bush seriously— something even he is too intelligent to do— one might ask :Why does illegal alien “love” always flow toward the vast riches found in America?

If it is genuinely “love” of family as Jeb Bush contends with a straight face, rather than obsession with DINERO, free health care, free education, welfare, food stamps, and other American booty, why are the illegals always headed here?

If love of family is so powerful among illegals, why in the hell are they so willing to leave their beloved in Mexico in the first place.

Furthermore, if the Latino “love of family” trait is real, why does Mexico treat illegal-alien Latinos from Guatemala and other nations south of its borders with such inhumane contempt?

Why is there not a great migration of illegal alien Latinos from the US back to Mexico, all in the interest of love of family?

Bottom line: Jeb Bush and his “Illegal Alien Love” theory is just another example of uncontrolled rubbish and insanity from the Bush clan!

For nigh unto 20 years, America has battled to get its hands around the invasion of our nation by illegal aliens, most of whom come here from south of our borders.

In 1994, California voters approved, by a 2-1 margin, Proposition 187 which would have denied services to illegals. That proposition was eventually scuttled by Governor Gray Davis who argued that the law was too “divisive.”

20 years later, the nation is overrun with non-English speaking foreigners who decided, unilaterally, to move to the US, notwithstanding our borders and laws.

The US Congress has entered the fray with several attempts at fixing the immigration mess, mostly by caving into illegals who demand everything, in exchange for diluting American culture and language with third-world habits and language.

Throughout the years, politicians have sought to pass laws that would allow government to make that which is illegal and immoral suddenly legal and the “right thing to do.”

Oddly enough, over the years no one has proposed that the government do its job be enforcing the rule of law, including the deportation of those who do not belong here.

And so the crisis grows and grows. It is now estimated that providing services and goods to illegals costs US taxpayers more than $110 billion each year!

110 billion a year to support people who have no legal or moral basis for being here!

Yes, deporting 11 million, or 30 million, invaders would be expensive. But we could save $110 billion a year, or more than a trillion dollars over 10 years, by deporting invaders.

Americans should take to the streets to demand that the idiotic plans to grant amnesty be scrapped.

In it’s place, lets implement comprehensive deportation plans, buttressed by secure borders.

That is the right thing to do!

Nearly 30 years after the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 was signed into law by President Reagan, ostensibly to fix the illegal alien problem once and for all, America begins 2014 embroiled in yet another bitter, divisive, gut-wrenching  debate over the fate of tens of millions of illegals who reside here unlawfully.

These tens of millions of uninvited and unwelcome peoples have settled here despite IRCA and despite the terrorist attack of 9/11 which should have caused our leaders to forcibly close US borders to unlawful entry.

As US lawmakers struggle to find answers to this continuing problem, our leaders should look south to our troubled neighbors in Mexico, where some of the toughest, no-nonsense immigration laws in the world are on the books.

As reported at the reference, Mexico’s immigration laws, if enforced, could help solve America’s illegal alien problem, once and for all.

MEXICO’S GENERAL LAW OF POPULATION:

• Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society:

- Foreigners are admitted into Mexico “according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress.” (Article 32)
- Immigration officials must “ensure” that “immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents. (Article 34)
- Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets “the equilibrium of the national demographics,” when foreigners are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when “they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.” (Article 37)
- The Secretary of Governance may “suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest.” (Article 38)

• Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the country:

- Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. (Article 73)
- A National Population Registry keeps track of “every single individual who comprises the population of the country,” and verifies each individual’s identity. (Articles 85 and 86)
- A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number (Article 91).

• Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned:

- Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article 116)
- Foreigners who sign government documents “with a signature that is false or different from that which he normally uses” are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article 116)

• Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as felons:

- Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117)
- Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)
- Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison (Articles 119, 120 and 121). Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico — such as working with out a permit — can also be imprisoned.

• Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population says,

- “A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally.” (Article 123)
- Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being imprisoned. (Article 125)
- Foreigners who “attempt against national sovereignty or security” will be deported. (Article 126)

• Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals under the law:

- A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)
- Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)

MEXICO’S CONSTITUTION:[2][4]

Mexico’s Constitution
(English translation)


• The Mexican constitution expressly forbids non-citizens to participate in the country’s political life.
Non-citizens are forbidden to participate in demonstrations or express opinions in public about domestic politics. Article 9 states, “only citizens of the Republic may do so to take part in the political affairs of the country.” Article 33 is unambiguous: “Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country.”

• The Mexican constitution denies fundamental property rights to foreigners.
If foreigners wish to have certain property rights, they must renounce the protection of their own governments or risk confiscation. Foreigners are forbidden to own land in Mexico within 100 kilometers of land borders or within 50 kilometers of the coast.


Article 27 states, “Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters. The State may grant the same right to foreigners, provided they agree before the Ministry of Foreign Relations to consider themselves as nationals in respect to such property, and bind themselves not to invoke the protection of their governments in matters relating thereto; under penalty, in case of noncompliance with this agreement, of forfeiture of the property acquired to the Nation. Under no circumstances may foreigners acquire direct ownership of lands or waters within a zone of one hundred kilometers along the frontiers and of fifty kilometers along the shores of the country.” (Emphasis added)

• The Mexican constitution denies equal employment rights to immigrants, even legal
ones, in the public sector.

“Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable. In time of peace no foreigner can serve in the Army nor in the police or public security forces.” (Article 32)

• The Mexican constitution guarantees that immigrants will never be treated as real Mexican citizens, even if they are legally naturalized.
Article 32 bans foreigners, immigrants, and even naturalized citizens of Mexico from serving as military officers, Mexican-flagged ship and airline crew, and chiefs of seaports and airports:

“In order to belong to the National Navy or the Air Force, and to discharge any office or commission, it is required to be a Mexican by birth. This same status is indispensable for captains, pilots, masters, engineers, mechanics, and in general, for all personnel of the crew of any vessel or airship protected by the Mexican merchant flag or insignia. It is also necessary to be Mexican by birth to discharge the position of captain of the port and all services of practique and airport commandant, as well as all functions of customs agent in the Republic.”

• An immigrant who becomes a naturalized Mexican citizen can be stripped of his Mexican citizenship if he lives again in the country of his origin for more than five years, under Article 37. Mexican-born citizens risk no such loss.

• Foreign-born, naturalized Mexican citizens may not become federal lawmakers (Article 55), cabinet secretaries (Article 91) or supreme court justices (Article 95).

• The president of Mexico must be a Mexican citizen by birth AND his parents must also be Mexican-born citizens (Article 82), thus giving secondary status to Mexican-born citizens born of immigrants.

• The Mexican constitution singles out “undesirable aliens.” Article 11 guarantees federal protection against “undesirable aliens resident in the country.”

• The Mexican constitution provides the right of private individuals to make citizen’s arrests.
Article 16 states, “in cases of flagrante delicto, any person may arrest the offender and his accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities.” Therefore, the Mexican constitution appears to grant Mexican citizens the right to arrest illegal aliens and hand them over to police for prosecution.

• The Mexican constitution states that foreigners may be expelled for any reason and without due process.
According to Article 33, “the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action.”



Bottom Line: American citizens deserve to be protected from foreign invasions similar to the protections that Mexico uses to protect its citizens.

As the Republican party continues to abandon the American people by morphing into a far-left wing of the Democrat Party on issues like immigration, many important questions about illegals are not being asked, to the potential detriment of American citizens.

For example, conventional wisdom(?) is that there are 11 million illegals in America. That number has been bandied about for years, with little or no substantiation.

However, if the government’s ability to estimate is anything as pathetic as we have seen with Obamacare, one can reasonably expect that there are many, many more illegals here than the Democrats are claiming.

Thus, the fiscal, social, and cultural impact of amnesty may very well be several times more damaging that is being stated.

Then, the question not being asked is: Who in the hell are these people?

Migrating to America (legally) is, and should be, a long, drawn-out procedure meant to protect the interests of American citizens. It involves more than simply jumping a fence and heading north in pursuit of free health care, education, food stamps and other handouts paid for by US taxpayers.

Legal immigration means enduring rigorous hurdles like background checks to detect a criminal background or possible ties to terrorists.

It means medical examinations to detect diseases still prevalent in third-world nations, but long since eradicated here, and

It means proof of financial solvency so as to prevent newcomers from becoming a burden on U.S. taxpayers.

Those who have jumped the fence into America in order to avoid our immigration checks are not immigrants, and are not deserving of amnesty..

In truth, people who come here illegally leave America vulnerable to undetected crime, terrorism, disease, and financial devastation. And they have no legal or moral justification for being here.

Bottom Line: Before even considering amnesty, our government needs to determine how many illegals are here and what medical, criminal, financial, and social questions must be answered before anyone is allowed to bypass the rule of law.
