Las Mordidas?

Yesterday, Jerry Pournelle suggested:

“Would it not be cheaper to pay the Mexican government say, $10 billion a year, on the provision that they close the border from their side? If many get through to the US we reduce the bribe.”

I’ve excerpted just a small portion of Dr. Pournelle’s comments, and there are more from his readers in the Mail section of Chaos Manor Musings. But the idea cited above could be a useful tool in reducing the alien invasion from Mexico, I think. “Las Mordidas” is the social lubricant that gets things done there. Only a couple of problems as the proposal was stated:

Remitance monies (also mentioned by you in the same “View” comment) amount to something over $20 billion a year pumped into the Mexican economy, now. Perhaps the first or second largest single element of its economy. The bribe needs to be bigger.
In order to work, the bribe needs to be highly targeted. The “ricos” kakistocracy must be targeted to recieve the money, or it won’t be an effective bribe.

In the long run, would it not be cheaper to simply annex Mexico? Instead of moving the U.S. border to San Francisco-Kansas City-D.C., as Scott Ott at Scrappleface “predicted” the President’s speech would propose, move it south to Guatemala/Belize. Maybe the Texas national Guard could be tasked with that little adventure… *heh* Well, if such a pipe dream ever materialized, it would at least have the virtue of (hopefully) moving the robber barons off that pot of gold the beggars once sat on.

*sigh*

Oh, and while we’re at it, let’s close the back door on all the Muslim extremist groups populating Canada. Annex Canada next? *heh*

Oh, a lil note I’m considering adding to most of my posts as a reminder to call, write, fax and email the administration and your congresscritters, your governor and as many other public officials as you can about the alien invasion (and the fax I suggested a couple of days ago that you send :-)):

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Folks, it is not only your undeniable right to petition the government for a redress of grievances, it is your responsibility to yourself, your children and grandchildren and your fellow citizens to do so whenever OUR unresponsive kakistocracy is steering the ship of state onto the rocks.

Mending the Melting Pot-1

Once again, Jerry Pournelle offers sage advice. The proposal he mo8unts in yesterday’s Chaos Manor Musings/View isn’t the end-all, be-all of border security, but it is a sensible “middle way” that any rational person can at least discuss:

We all know how to control the borders. Just Do It. Allocate $1 million/mile/year to be paid to the local county sheriff for use in border control. Add $10 million/year for each border city. Now levy a $1000 fine (not ruinous, but discouraging) for employing an illegal immigrant for more than five days, and pay half of that to whomever turned in the employer to the local sheriff. The other half goes to the sheriff’s office. Add a Federal bonus for each sheriff, interior or border, say $1000 per illegal immigrant apprehended and delivered to the Federal authorities. Local sheriffs who don’t want to catch immigrants just for being immigrants will at least have a way to deal with crime coming to their attention. The whole thing won’t cost $20 billion a year, far less than the savings in social service. The result will be that apprehension of those currently here will be adjusted to local sentiments — counties where no one much cares will not have vigorous enforcement, but will have a way to cut down on criminal and gang activities; the borders will be closed effectively; citizens hiring someone at the local Home Depot won’t face the fines; and the attractiveness of crossing the border will diminish.

Now, here’s the crux of the issue: because proposals like Dr. Pournelle’s make good sense, are affordable and don’t cause undue hardship on citizens or cause the growth of another huge federal power grab, our Masters Will Not Allow this proposal to gain any traction in Washington D.C. or in any other venue controlled by the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind.

I’d be much happier with far, far more stringent punishment of those who employ illegals. And I’d like to see the U.S. build walls on ALL land borders, task the Navy to serious patrol duty on our water borders and other armed forces as appropriate to guard air access. (And I’ll be happy to shoot down any subliterate/disingenuous discussions about posee comitatus preventing military protection of our borders).

But I could compromise with sensible alternatives such as Dr. Pournelle outlines.

And if poll numbers mean anything, most Americans (by a majority approaching 70% in general and a sizeable percentage even among Latinos!) would be happy with sensible alternatives like the ideas quoted above.

What I will never accept is the betrayal of the American people by Vicente Fox’s Lapdog and Senator Joh n “Snake” McCain and his cohorts in crime among D.C. political poltroons and media whores.

Stop the ACLU

Guest Post by Kender

Our erstwhile and dearly beloved President Bush, having found one of his testicles behind the couch, FINALLY gets around to attempting to begin to consider taking the correct course of action by deploying 6000 National Guard Troops to aid ICE in securing our Southern Border in Name Only (SBNO) and the ACLU races with all haste to try to undermine the deployment by whining incessantly and lying to the American people.

“Oh-ho” you say, along with “Kender? How can you say that the ACLU is LYING to the goodly citizens of the United States?”

Here’s how, and as usual, it is attributable to The Queen of the ACLU, The Beauty of the Bill of Rights, the Nancy of the Nine Amendments (ask him, there is no Second Amendment) Anthony Romero:

“Turning immigration enforcement policy into another military operation is not the answer. The presidentâ€™s proposed deployment of National Guard troops violates the spirit of the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the military from getting into the business of civilian law enforcement.

(emphasis mine)

Did you catch that?

I made it real big so you would catch it, but how many of you actually caught it?

Actually the question should be how many of you even know about it?

SEC. 15. From and after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful to employ any part of the Army of the United States, as a posse comitatus, or otherwise, for the purpose of executing the laws, except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress; and no money appropriated by this act shall be used to pay any of the expenses incurred in the employment of any troops in violation of this section And any person willfully violating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction thereof shall be punished by fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars or imprisonment not exceeding two years or by both such fine and imprisonment.

Let me repeat that.

except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress;

Got that? Never mind the fact that the since the Posse Comitatus Act is an AMERICAN LAW it should logically only apply to AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!!! But applying our laws to criminal aliens is a fight that the ACLU has won….for the moment.

But we all know that where the ACLU is concerned logic has nothing to do with it.

I propose the radical concept that it is SPECIFICALLY the job of the federal government to secure the border, and if we need National Guard Troops to accomplish that goal then that is what needs to get done. If these millions of criminal aliens were coming across with guns and in uniform would the ACLU demand that Bush not send the military to stop the invasion?

I bet they would.

In WW2 the current ACLU would have been suing the government for placing anti-aircraft guns on the coast (many of those were placed on private property with the owners blessings) and demanding that blackout rules be abolished because forcing one to turn out the lights during a possible air raid would put them in danger of tripping on something in the dark, thereby depriving them of their right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Of course, the ALCU is more than happy to let someone pursue their personal happiness in the dark, often times even when it involves children, but that is a rant for another day.

The fact of the matter is that the government has failed us by refusing to secure the border, and we have been invaded. The ACLU is doing everything in their power to stop the government from doing ITS’ JOB and in the process making us all a little less safe with each and every day that goes by.

The above article was a guest post. While I agree with Kender in principle, please note one minor and one serious exception I take, below. Oh, and do note that I placed this post under multiple categories, including SEX! After all, this post does have as much to do with sex as President Bush’s immigration policy has to do with border control and national security…

The minor exception? Posse Comitatus does not apply to repelling alien invasions. The President could just as legally authorize the regular Army to patrol the border to repel an invasion… and three million illegal aliens a year does constitute an invasion! Especially when those coming from Mexico are doing so with the active encouragement and participation of the Mexican government.

But G.W. Bush, Vicente Fox’s Lapdog and the ACLU’s punching bag, won’t make that point.

Not to pick too fine a nit, Kender does begin with a false assertion, above: Vicente Fox’s Lapdog, AKA President George Bush, didn’t actually find one of his balls behind the couch; he didn’t have a microscope powerful enough and pair of tweezers small enough for the job…*sigh* Yes, I am well and truly finished with showing any respect for the person of George W. Bush, after his shameful display of dishonesty Monday evening.
