One has to wonder how many of those in congress who signed on to the amnesty bill, lock the doors of their homes.

Allow me to explain.

When we start talking about border security, the numbers are large and it becomes hard for some to grasp all of the miles involved.

The CRS Report for Congress states that, according to the U.S. Geological Survey…

“The length of the International Boundary line of the U.S.-Canadian border, excluding Alaska, is approximately 3,987 miles, while  the length of the U.S.-Mexican border is estimated at 1,933 miles. The length of the Alaska-Canada border alone is 1,538 miles.”

Are those in the amnesty camp even starting to get it yet?

Perhaps a couple of charts will help the amnesty crowd to process the scope of the situation.

Okay…Maybe it won’t help as those who are hell bent on amnesty just don’t get it. Maybe it’s just too many miles for them to comprehend.

If that’s the case, let’s boil it down to something they CAN get a grip on, shall we?

Even socialists have to live somewhere, be it a house, an apartment or in a trailer down by the river so, we’ll use a house as our example.

Okay, amnesty crowd…Let’s say you live in a house and, according to plat maps, your property has boundaries. Does it not?

Hmmmmm…

You are not allowed to build on or landscape your neighbor’s property and they, in turn, are not allowed to encroach upon yours.

Why?

 Because it is private property. It belongs to you.

So, amnesty proponents…Do YOU lock your doors?

Maybe a better question is…What would you do if you found people on your property or in your home that didn’t belong there?

Let’s say you leave your door, not only unlocked but, wide open, day and night.

That IS, after all, what you say we should do with all those miles of our border.

Every day…EVERY DAY…a hundred people that you don’t know, walk onto your property and right through your wide open door. They eat your food. They order pay-per-view movies and watch them on your TV. They take things from your home and sell them. They repaint the inside and outside of your home in the colors THEY like and tell YOU that YOU don’t have the right to be proud of the colors YOU choose.

They drive your car and burn your gas. They move in, with their families, into your guest room, your kid’s rooms and, eventually into YOUR room.

Come on now…They’re just looking for a better life. They’re…Dreamers.

They use your credit cards but YOU have to pay the bills. YOU have to pay for their hospital visits and their education too.

It won’t take long before THEY are telling THEIR friends and extended families to come to your house and when they start committing REAL crimes, murders, drug running and the like, well…YOU have to suffer THOSE consequences too.

Eventually, even socialists will call the cops but…The cops can’t do anything because THEIR superiors have ordered them NOT to.

By now, there’s a flashing neon sign above your wide open door saying…”COME ON IN” AND THEY DO. More and more and MORE of them just keep coming in.

They have trespassed. They have run up monstrous bills. They have threatened you and your family. They commit crimes large and small. They have bankrupted you.

And what do you, socialists, propose be done about it?

YOU propose that they be forgiven their transgressions and their bills and furthermore, YOU propose that THEY be allowed to STAY.

And to top it off…You STILL decline to lock your door believing all the while that just because you said it was okay, they will stop coming in.

Now…Add TO all that a clause which states that an employer will have to pay a $5000.00 PENALTY if he hires YOU over one of those who is on your property ILLEGALLY.

THAT…Is AMNESTY.

On the other hand…Here’s what WE would do.

WE would put a fence around your property and guard it properly.

We would use existing laws to keep people who don’t belong on your property from being there and we would evict the squatters from your house, sending them back to wherever it is they came from.

Once WE are sure that your home and property are secure and, knowing that there are those who would like to live in your neighborhood as their lives would be better, we would streamline the LEGAL process so that they could move in and have a place of their own.

Yes, we would insist that they live under OUR rules…The same exact rules that WE live under because that is only fair. They would have to pay their OWN way and contribute to society.

THEY wouldn’t get any advantage WE don’t have but they WOULD have the same OPPORTUNITIES we have IF they adhere to the same rules.

There is no reason why it should take 10 or 15 or 20 years for them to become part of OUR community and THAT can and SHOULD be fixed but, not until AFTER your property is safe.

THAT…Is IMMIGRATION REFORM.

If they really want to live here, they need to speak English. THEY need to assimilate into OUR culture and NOT the other way around.

Does this mean that THEY must abandon THEIR culture?

No. As long as THEIR culture doesn’t violate OUR laws, they are welcome to celebrate it and WE will gladly applaud THEIR culture as THEY embrace OURS.

Ahhhhh…The melting pot would rise again but, that doesn’t motivate the socialist, does it?

The socialist is motivated only by a perceived expansion of a demographic voting bloc. A demographic which has bought into their lies and hangs on their every promise regardless of how many broken promises pave the path to amnesty.

Those who enter our country illegally, searching for promised amnesty, will end up beholding to a political party and government for their sustenance and existence, chasing broken promises and never realizing their dreams.

In the socialist realm, immigrants do not ascend to a higher station of freedom through opportunity rather, it is the American citizen who must DESCEND to the station which the immigrant fled.

That is the socialist version of equality…Equal at the bottom…controlled by government and never at liberty to think, act or do for themselves.

We, as a nation have been down this path before. In 1986, promises were made by liberals that if amnesty were granted to illegal aliens, border security would follow. That was 27 years ago and to this day, border security has never been achieved nor has it been upgraded as promised.

In fact, life is no better today for those illegal aliens than it was then.

Promises broken.

Lest we be conned again, lest we open the doors even wider to those who have no intention of assimilating into OUR society, into OUR culture or become valued citizens and lest those who seek the freedoms they don’t have in THEIR lands be lied to AGAIN…

WE, the Conservative Patriots MUST take a stand. WE must light up the lines of communication with ALL elected officials and WE must DEMAND…BORDER SECURITY…FIRST. VERIFIABLE BORDER SECURITY…FIRST.

ADHERENCE TO AND ENFORCEMENT OF…EXISTING LAWS before NEW laws are written.

Then, and ONLY then, can a path to citizenship be paved starting on the OTHER side of the border via LEGAL and streamlined means with those who have been waiting, for far too long, to become legal United States citizens allowed to step forward first and those who have already broken our laws waiting their turn in the BACK of the line.

That way, and ONLY that way, can the true “Dreamers” achieve the AMERICAN DREAM and ONLY in that way can their lives and…OUR NATION…be enriched.

Border Security FIRST because…In the long run, Amnesty is the sedative and the “Dream Act” will become the endless nightmare.
