Immigration Problems in Cobb, are
you next?
By
Linda
Thompson
The following opinion editorial by D. A. King is a long read
that pertains to Cobb County, Georgia, but it could just as well
describe a situation in your neighborhood.
The Bush administration apparently refuses to address the plague of
illegal immigration, while thousands upon thousands of illegal
aliens continue to flood across our Southern border on a regular
basis. School systems and health departments across the country are
being inundated with illegal aliens (and Americans aren't allowed to
ask whether a recipient is legal). The crimes being committed by
illegal aliens, include home invasions, traffic fatalities, drive-by
shootings, gang proliferation, and more.
Some locations in downtown Marietta, GA, are clogged everyday with
mexicans waiting to hop on the back of any pick-up truck and work
for wages "under the table." And, of course, the bulk of their
income flows back to mexico and Vicente Fox. After all, Vicente Fox
looks to illegal aliens in the U.S. for one of his country's largest
sources of income. If you doubt this, just read about the recent
mexican comic book, produced by mexico’s foreign ministry (See:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1314039/posts or
http://spofga.org/immigration/2005/jan/illegal_immigration.phtml)
that counsels mexican illlegal aliens how to invade the U.S. and
survive "under the radar."
My son was a restaurant manager for a number of years, before he
finally burned out, and he explained to me how some illegal mexicans
work the system in the U.S. They claim the maximum number of
dependents, pay little or no income tax, and return to mexico just
before the April 15 tax deadline. Then they purchase new fraudulent
identification, return to the U.S. with a new identity, and start
the process all over again.
Given that President Bush apparently doesn't believe that illegal
aliens are a problem and that he wants to give them amnesty and the
opportunity to be Americans, what do you think? Do you really
believe that mexicans who are now flooding across our borders
everyday in record numbers really want to be Americans, or do they
simply want American dollars ???
Some legal mexican immigrants have been in the U.S. for many years,
and they still don't even speak English. Did you read about the
female immigrant in Alabama who filed a lawsuit because she couldn't
take her driver's license test in spanish?? Would you want to meet
her while you were driving along a U.S. roadway?? I think not.
But then there are also chinese, arabs, and other nationalities who
are using our porous borders to enter the U.S. illegally. Do you
realize that the bill President Bush just signed authorizing 2,000
new Border Patrol agents per year for the next five years is
unfunded, and that the current Homeland Security Secretary, Tom
Ridge, has already said it won't happen???
Following is an excerpt from U.S. Rep. John Culberson, 7th
District of Texas, in a message dated 11/08/04 to his constituents
(http://www.culberson.house.gov/news.aspx?A=138):
“I will also do whatever it takes to protect our borders
because this is an essential part of our war on terrorism. Today,
our borders are essentially wide open. This is intolerable and
unacceptable because it is a clear and present danger to our
national security. The uncontrolled flood of illegal immigrants is
an immediate threat to our nation's safety and security. The CIA
and the FBI have told us publicly that Middle Easterners from
countries with known terrorist connections have walked across our
southern border hiding among the illegals. When the terrorists hit
us again, they will have walked across our southern border and
they will probably be using a Matricula Consular card with a fake
Hispanic identity.”
I encourage you to contact your U.S. senators
and representatives and urge them to live up to their obligations
not only to defend us from our enemies, but also to protect our
borders.

Jose
Bautista

In the Jan. 20 MDJ, we read that the illegal alien charged in
the stabbing death of Acworth resident Lisa Ann Bourquardez,
27, was already wanted in his home country of Mexico for a
previous murder. He had been here for four years.
In these strange times, it seems important to point out that
Lisa Ann was an American citizen.
The suspect, like many illegal aliens here, uses several
names. He is known as Jose Bautista. His real name, police
say, may be Guillermo Paralata Casteneda.
Whatever his name, he is one of the estimated 20 million
people in our nation who recognize that many of our laws do
not apply to them and realize that they can easily live and
work here illegally without fear of consequences.
As I write, Bautista/Casteneda remains free and may be on his
way back to Mexico.
Ms. Bourquardez is dead because we have a barbed-wire border
with Mexico that is intentionally less secure than any cattle
pasture in Cobb County. Her death is a direct result of three
to four million illegals a year flooding into the America that
should have protected her from Mexico's overflow.
While it is politically incorrect to mention, over the years,
more Americans have been killed as the result of our unsecured
border with Mexico than lost their lives in the Twin Towers on
9/11.
Ms. Bourquardez will not see her two young daughters grow up
because our elected officials, from the White House to county
commissions all over America, openly encourage and assist what
President Bush and others refer to as "good-hearted" folks
"just looking for a better life."
We are told we must continue to illegally import the poverty
from other nations because there are "jobs Americans will not
do."
Apparently, we are expected to forget that we Americans
cleaned our own floors, built the Hoover Dam and put a man on
the moon long before it was usual to see 100 illegal "willing
workers" wrestle for three landscaping jobs offered by one
shameless contactor in a parking lot on Powder Springs Road
for $10 an hour - in cash.
"Labor shortage" anyone?
We are expected to forget that we paid Americans a living wage
in America not so long ago - before we had Spanish-language
voting ballots in Georgia.
"A better life" indeed.
Lets not forget this: There are no jobs that Americans will
not do - only intentionally depressed wages on which they
cannot live with dignity in their own country.
Lisa Ann Bourquardez is gone because the illegals and the many
who profit from their taxpayer-subsidized labor are allowed to
violate our employment and tax laws.
Imagine openly using a known fraudulent Social Security number
in your own business. See what happens if you try to get away
with paying or accepting unreported cash as payment in a
business that does not involve illegal labor.
Try not paying your income taxes and note the effects of law
enforcement for Americans in America.
Somebody in our community employed Lisa Ann's murderer. I
wonder how much money he was able to pocket by paying Bautista
less than he would a legal Cobb County worker?
I wonder how many more illegals that same employer has on his
payroll right now?
Ask yourself why the federal authorities are not allowed to
stop this very organized crime.
Ask yourself if "legalizing" the current 20 million illegals
will discourage 20 million more from coming. (We tried that in
the amnesty of 1986. They were 3 million then.)
I wonder if Lisa Ann's two daughters will understand when they
are old enough to have all this explained?
In another story in the Jan. 21 MDJ, I saw that the governor
has proposed a law to make it a felony to send "Spam" e-mails
over the internet from here in Georgia. You can bet that if
passed, this would be one of those laws that is strictly
enforced.
I hope and trust that the governor will put the same
importance on any bills that the General Assembly may present
that would make Georgia less attractive to illegal aliens.
That, Lisa Ann's daughters will understand.
