THE VALUE OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP
By Kyle Becker
The Supreme Court’s mostly adverse decision on Arizona’s immigration law was stark in the latitude it granted to the federal government to neglect enforcement of immigration and naturalization law. As the case yielded discretion to the executive branch to discern when it is desirable to deport “illegal” immigrants (if there are such persons any longer), we have become less a nation of laws and more a nation of men.
Failing to defend the rights and interests of the citizenry is an inappropriate dereliction of duty on the part of our Supreme Court. Expecting persons to obey the legal process of immigration is not a byproduct of a lack of “empathy,” but a matter of respect for the laws, culture, traditions, and government of the nation.
A century ago, millions of immigrants flocked all over the world to America, the beacon of liberty, through such ports of entry as Ellis Island and San Francisco. The diverse backgrounds of the immigrants, which represented all the historically quarrelsome nations of Europe, as well as far-fledged corners of the world from Africa to Asia, blended into American society, learned the language without complaint, and got to work without expecting a government handout.
The result? America became stronger because of the contribution of immigrants to the society, culture, and economy. Now, the Democrat Party is trying to turn immigrants into yet another victim group, whose grievances are to be harnessed for yet more economic and political control.
Over the course of the twentieth century, immigrants were largely grateful to make it to America, where they could seek refuge from overly domineering and dysfunctional societies. What made the country exceptional is what also made it desirable: liberty.
And second- and third-generation sons and daughters of immigrants were well aware of the value of American citizenship. They had heard the horror stories of their German, East European, and Asian parents and grandparents and were among the most patriotic of Americans.
Every Independence Day, one could count on immigrants speaking broken English to proudly fly their bright red, white, and blue flags, to belt out the lyrics of the Star-Spangled Banner by heart, and to blow a wad of cash on spectacular fireworks. Now the Fourth of July has become just another day on the calendar when Americans don’t have to work, and it is barely more revered in the culture than May 1st, Labor Day, or Earth Day.
Whereas immigrants used to cry out of pride and gratitude at citizenship ceremonies, immigrants are now virtually made to cry from believing that most of the country hates them, seeks to oppress them, and will probably deport them by stealth of night if they don’t vote Democrat.
Such ideas are insinuated in their minds by a president whose background displays shallow American roots indeed, and who has gone so far as to call Republicans “enemies” to a Hispanic audience.
The president has been shy displaying his supposed pride in the nation. Proclaiming his desire to “fundamentally transform” the country, declaring himself a “citizen of the world,” failing to salute the flag at public ceremonies, bowing overseas to foreign heads of state, and alienating our historical allies are all signs that point to someone who has more than a slight grudge against the nation. >>> read more

The only thing Obastard has done is to show his hatred for America and what she stood for. If he and others don’t like this country, they are free to go back to the country their ancestors came from.
Precisely!
Do you think he would survive on what they pay workers over there?
Not 5 minutes! But then I don’t think he’d survive in ANY job that required actual … WORK!
You may be right. How dung picker upper, I believe they use that heat and cook with. That really sounds disgusting.
ILLEGAL ALIENS WILL BE ARRIVING HERE IN THE MILLIONS FOR FREE HEALTH CARE. YOU KNOW THE DEMOCRATS WILL FIGURE SOME LOOPHOLE TO GIVE THEM YOUR HEALTHCARE, SO THEY CAN ACCUMULATE ILLEGAL VOTES IN NOVEMBER? THAT’S WHY THEY DON’T ‘PICTURE VOTER IDENTIFICATION’ OFFICIAL FOR THE OBAMAS/ROMNEY ELECTION.
WE ARE ALL FOOLS, BECAUSE NOT ONLY DO WE MINDLESSLY HIRE THE SAME POLITICIANS EVERY TIME, BUT DO NOT CONTACT THEM ABOUT THE LAWS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO UPHOLD. ONLY THE U.S. TEA PARTY WILL DO EXACTLY THAT. NOT THE BARACK OBAMA’S OR THE MITT ROMNEYS? GET YOUR HEADS OUT THE SAND?
HERE is a summary of the Constitutional TEA PARTY ideology, which from its inception has advocated a halt to illegal immigration that Democrats, Liberals or Republicans pay lip service too. Since the 1986 fraudulent amnesty illegal immigrants and migrants has poured into America, through a border that still remains porous. The television broadcasts of CNN, ABC and other stations always show the huge steel reinforced fences between Mexico and the United States. This is misleading as further along the demarcation between two countries, there is nothing more than a few thin strands of rusty barbed wire. Go to ‘AMERICAN PATROL, to be enlightened about the true length of the border fence and other details. For every Democrat, Liberal or Republican incumbent in office, we need to replace with an honest fresh face TEA PARTY leadership. We must stop President Obama’s ‘Tax and spend” epidemic or Mitt Romney potential to press for better advantages for Wall Street and financial institutions.
Just today with the stunning news the Supreme Court in supporting ObamaCare, could be yet another nail in America’s economic coffin. This is going to further encourage illegal alien absconders from poverty stricken countries, to bring their sick by international flight or through state borders ; people needing FREE treatment as an appendicitis to major surgeries, will arrive here and because of federal mandates American taxpayers will be further raped to pay for these unfunded mandates. Millions will try to slip through our Borders or fly into America, because of the Democrats and it’s financially in our laps.
IT is the Time of the PEOPLE’S PARTY. It is the time for the moderate TEA PARTY, not the far left or right. The TEA PARTY is complimented by man/women; African, White, Hispanic, Asian and other Americans of different nationalities. The TEA PARTY is a wealth of different religions, faiths, gay and ordinary people of every walk of life. Remember a large perpetual majority who votes for President Obama for a second term could are most liable none citizens or American citizens who spend their days watching TV, selling drugs, couch potatoes, collecting public assistance, food stamps and living off the rest of us as parasites. These are the people who want something for nothing. THE TEA PARTY BELIEVES IN INDIVIDUAL CHOICE, NOT RELYING ON GOVERNMENT FOR EVERYTHING. Illegal aliens don’t just come here for jobs but to pilfer state treasuries because elected officials have allowed this to happen. As an example of states in big trouble every month the Sanctuary State of California–as just naming one haven has a deficit of $15.7 Billion dollars, with over $1 billion dollars annually soaked up by illegal alien welfare and rising. And according to the American Federation for Immigration Reform (FAIR) another similar Amnesty for the 20 plus million already here is estimated to cost the legal American population 2.4 Trillion dollars.
The exception is the sick and true disabled human beings, the honest unemployed, so think of their dilemma that taxpayer money should be assisting citizens, instead of illegal aliens. If you are frustrated with feeding the rest of the world, unable to get a decent job then join the TEA PARTY. The controversial immigration debate and the problems it has brought; it is a theft of your taxes. Obama’s new the rules and regulations have been forced on American with its so called ‘Political Correctness’ along with its growing taint of a growing Socialism agenda impregnating young minds in the schools and universities. President Obama has placed obstacles to halt the extraction of valuable energy resources in a time of urgent need. This administration has squashed efforts to extract oil, natural gas and coal; that we could lower the expenditure from transportation and we could sell residual amounts to friendly foreign countries. The progressive’s zealots in the environmentalist world have stopped the laying of oil pipelines from Canada to Texas, when America could be self sufficient and not relying on Saudi Arabia, and other foreign potentates. Shouldn’t we become a creditor again, instead of a debtor to China and other investing countries?
This is the time when every American who believes in the ‘Rule of Law’ and steps forward to let their Senator or Congress person knows how you will vote. Bombard politician’s aide, that you insist the lawmaker sponsor E-Verify and the Birthright Citizenship bill (H.R.140). NEITHER PARTY DOESN’T SEEM TO CARE THAT THIS COUNTRY IS BEING OVERWHELMED BY THE POVERTY FROM SOUTH OF THE BORDER, BUT ALSO A MAGNET TO MILLIONS OF PREGNANT WOMEN WHO ONCE ARRIVE HERE CAN STEAL THE WELFARE OF AMERICAN FAMILIES. ONCE SMUGGLED THROUGH THE BORDER OR STEP OF A PLANE, 400.000 ILLEGAL ALIEN MOTHERS ANNUALLY CAN REAP THE REWARDS OF CRIMINALLY ENTERING THE UNITED STATES. THIS PUBLIC HELP SHOULD BE GOING TO OUR OWN CITIZENS NOT TO EDUCATE FOREIGN CHILDREN OR FREE MEDICAL CARE, THAT TAXPAYERS EVENTUALLY RECEIVE THE BILL.
Citizen voters should phone Congress at the central Switchboard at 202-224-3121. Insist YOUR CONGRESSPERSON TO accomplish their obligation to the oath of office and stop rewarding the businesses that use cheap labor or the pro-illegal alien lawmakers that are desperate for votes, no matter illegal or legal. By only voting for those who favor the TEA PARTY ideology is the veil of corruption going to be lifted from American politics. Use the power of your VOTE to demand politicians sponsor good policies or we are destined to become like Europe, besieged by the poverty from other countries.
NEVER COPYRIGHTED. DISTRIBUTE THE TRUTH TO FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.
First, while I appreciate your point of view, I am a TEA Partier … You’re preaching to the choir here. While I am no Romney cheerleader, he is better than Obama. This time, this is our choice. To NOT vote for Romney is a vote for Obama. No 3rd party! The TEA Party candidates must start locally and rise through the ranks. AGENDA 21 is sneaking into our local towns and townships under the guise of good stewardship. YES< People need to be educated and activated. We must then, hold our elected representatives accountable. This is a beginning, not an end. 2010 was step 1 as the freshman class held many TEA party members. This year, step 2 … but we cannot quit. We must keep moving, keep pushing, keep calling, tweeting, texting … It is at least as much, however, about civility. We must NOT take up the weapons used against us. We must be smarter! Take a higher route! Morality is missing from America and we must find it if freedom is to survive.
So … thanks for stopping by, Dave!
Now the pandering to the muzzies begins.
