America In Search Of A Leader: What's The Plan?

February 29th, 2008 at 08:55am Frosty Wooldridge 493

On November 4, 2008, Americans step into voting booths with two choices: Barack Obama will take us out of the Iraq War, but he will give amnesty to 20-30 million illegal aliens. In other words, he will legalize and give voting rights to an invading armada of people from a foreign country. Additionally, he will continue chain migration, 400,000 anchor babies and their mothers annually, diversity visas and double legal immigration from one to two million annually. That means America’s borders will suffer relentless immigration for another four years. Why? He already voted for exactly those items with S.B. 1639 in June of 2007.

John McCain promises to continue the Iraq War forever and he will give amnesty to 20-30 million illegal aliens. Additionally, he will continue chain migration, 400,000 anchor babies and their mothers annually, diversity visas and double legal immigration from one to two million annually. Again, that means America’s borders will be overrun for another four years. Why? He already voted for S.B. 1639 in June of 2007.
The PEW Report last week showed that immigration will grow the U.S. population by 138 million people in 40 years. Because of immigration, in forty years, 1 in 5 Americans will be foreign born. The Mexican population will triple—which means they will become the dominant ethnic group in America. Immigration displaces the American people right out of their own country.
Within 40 years, we shall have run out of our ability to provide water, energy and resources to an added 138 million people.
Bottom line: we are a country in search of a leader, but we won’t elect one that will address America’s most ominous dilemma: unrelenting, massive and unending immigration. Either man will accelerate it!
“What frustrates me more than anything is that people like you write all kinds of protests and people like me read and applaud your work...but yanno, it’s all just TALK!” said Barbara L., a frustrated reader of my columns.
When are we going to do something to stop it?

”It’s time to circle the wagons!” Barbara said. “Why isn’t anyone putting out the call to organize? There are hundreds of conservative groups out there, but they all seem independent of one another.
“When Paul Revere did his ride, people RESPONDED! It’s Revolution time! Ron Paul isn't giving up, God bless him, but how are we going to get him elected? I just hear/read a lot of rhetoric but no one seems to be doing anything!

“After a quick review or Orwell's '1984' last night... it all seems to be happening right under our noses, while we yip & yipe, but still go back to sleep! This is NOT the America of 1776! We have all become so fat, sassy & lazy, that we have no drive to survive!
”All I want to see is a PLAN. Come up with something we can DO. How do we stop this runaway train without bloodshed? I'm tired of all the whining.”
To Barbara and every frustrated American watching the disintegration of our nation, take heart! Patriots of the 21^st century add their names daily to our cause.

Keep up the GREAT work Frosty,

As much as I have enjoyed the company of illegal aliens from N.Y. to California and the border country of south Texas to Dakota, and have struggled with the proper solution to this problem, I have come to the conclusion that the best result I see is for us to send as many back home as possible.

Why? Twofold really. First it gives us (U.S. citizens) back our jobs, and our country. And second, it sends people back to their real homes with an experience of living here and a better understanding of what they need to do once they get back in their home countries to help make them a better place for themselves and their loved ones.

Do I think it is going to be easy? No.

Bottom line though is I think it will be better for everyone involved in the long run.

As far as the political game...Ron and Ralph!

Now were havin fun.
2. Star Eagle | March 6th, 2008 at 3:51 pm

Sorry Frosty,

You write with such clarity, energy and passion for your views and yet you, Will and a few more of us can't seem to get a response out of the greater readership when we either warn and/or present people with alternative veiwpoints.

I know you are having an effect in your larger audience and wish you the very best in your endevours, but it remains interesting to me that your incredible post are left hanging like so many chads.
3. reckless G | March 6th, 2008 at 9:21 pm

Maybe some of us are just putting into practice that old adage; If you can't say something nice, don't say anything.

When it comes to immigration, I find myself on the opposite side of the fence from Frosty and Mike McGarry, and apparantly you too Star Eagle. So much so that on Con Man's Immigration Wednesday, I keep my radio off, just to avoid the aggravation.

Judging from the lackluster response to posts like this, maybe I'm not the only one that feels that way.
4. Star Eagle | March 7th, 2008 at 2:46 pm

Its true we all seem to pick and choose but...somehow your adage, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything" rarely applies to the Israeli-Palestinian issue, as you well know.

I think we are talking about something deeper.

We are talking about issues that are close to home and relevant in the hearts and minds of Americans. Issues that are our problem. Not problems that we can pass of as from those people over there. Problems that we are somehow called on to go fix for them.

No these are problems right here in our face. Ones we see every morning when we look in the mirror or stop for coffee and gas at the local quick-stop or when we buy our groceries at City Market.

These are problems we see every night on TV when we watch our news of the day and see our politicians and President in action. When we see our political process in action and see for ourselves how powerless we have become and this is the real reason why nobody wants to write on the pertinent issues before us today.

Of course it is a complex mixture of time and energy and we all know how that goes but...maybe it is time to get a little aggravated.
5. reckless G | March 7th, 2008 at 3:16 pm

[somehow your adage, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything" rarely applies to the Israeli-Palestinian issue, as you well know.]

And somehow, I knew that was going to come up. Touché

There are indeed a lot of problems in America that deserve our attention, but in my opinion immigration, illegal or otherwise is not one of them. In my life I have never been impacted by immigration. I have however, been impacted severely by anti-immigration. Probably one of the main reasons I keep my nose out of these conversations.

My brother married an illegal immigrant and shortly thereafter, they were blessed with a son. Then the INS deported her. She and my nephew returned to her family home in the Philippines. My brother spent five agonizing years trying to get her back into the country legally. Meanwhile their son was growing up without a father. Nice system.

Point is, as I’ve outlined in a previous post, I don’t believe in borders or fences, or keeping people out of “our” country. Imaginary lines and made-up laws cause far more problems than the people who cross them. And don't even get me started on "walls!"

On the topic of immigration, I am aggravated. But my aggravation stems not from the illegal immigrants, but from the proposed "solutions" of my esteemed fellow Americans.
6. Star Eagle | March 8th, 2008 at 9:17 am

Thanks for your reply G and I can see why you feel the way you do. Having spent time on the border and seeing the illusory finality of a river border in the lives of its local residents, let alone trying to imagine a line drawn in the sand, I understand the so called reality of borders makes no sense to people living their lives.

However, far from those borders I have seen "my little town" changed dramatically by illegal immigrants.

Therfore my honest quest for "solutions". Sorry my limited and evolving response aggravates you but I am only seeking G. Always looking for better ways.
7. reckless G | March 9th, 2008 at 12:48 pm

Star,

It's not your limited and evolving response that aggravates me, so much as other's "solutions." That's why I turn off KNFO on Wednesdays.

I would like to hear your description of how your little town has been changed dramatically by illegal immigrants. And if and why you think those changes are all negative.

I can think of a lot of ways my life has been enhanced by illegal immigrants. But...you first.
8. Star Eagle | March 9th, 2008 at 6:40 pm

First G I agree with you that I have enjoyed the company of many a illegal immigrant over the years. More so than that of many of our bred and born Americans but...having said that, and the fact that I have done major soul-searching on this issue, I have come to the above stated conclusions.

I also believe that as the economy in this country contracts in the coming days it will have the natural effect of sending a number of our illegal Mexican and Central American immigrants home.

As far as "my little town" and its dramatic changes goes, it is a story I have related in the past in reference to the larger issue of Reagan-Bush(I am going to have to start adding the Bush-hyphen to all my Reagan rants from now on after learning what I have in recent days on my question of "where did these Bush's come from anyway" but more on that in my upcoming first post) and their Union busting policies back in the 80's.

I have been recently reading a bio on Catherine Graham, the publisher of the Washington Post, and was somewhat amazed to read she had a past in "my little town" during the WWII years.

In her account she writes of the stench coming from the John Morrell and Company meatpacking plant.

This link gives you an insight into the labor battle going on.

This paragraph is especially interesting.

"Included in the imposed 4-year contract proposal, which had been rejected by more than 99 percent of the employees voting, according to the union, was a $1.75 an hour reduction in the $9.75 base wage rate. Even the $9.75 rate was $2 lower than the rate in 1982, reflecting the intense economic competition in the industry resulting from the growth of nonunion firms, new processes, and shifts in customer preferences".

While this paragraph states numerous reasons for dropping wages, by far the biggest reason was "the growth of nonunion firms".

Also, what it fails to state is that the reason for the $2.00 per hour drop in pay from 1989 to 1982 was because of an earlier strike that had already brought many "replacement employees" into the workforce. A workforce that was now rejecting its latest contract proposal at over 99%. Ironic? You tell me.

So G, while this is just "my little towns" experience, albeit the States largest employer, it is a reflection of the effect of available illegal immigrants on the job market and economies of our nation.

You have to understand that while none of the many line workers at John Morrell and Company during my childhood days made wages that would be called excessive, they did indeed make a livable wage(prior to the first broken strike of the early 80's) with union benefits that allowed them the essence of a middle-class life.

Workers now reduced to working for $8.00 per hour with no benefits as well as working condition and medical
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B0DE3D61638F937A25755C0A961948260
benefit reductions.

This scene has been replayed many times, (in many "my little towns") all across this nation, and especially in its breadbasket heartland over these over 30 years now since the amnesty provided in the mid 80's by the Reagen-Bush administration.

I found it myself when moving from wild wonderful Wyoming down to Texas in the winter of "77-78" when our construction jobs were being taken by Mexican immigrants.

It continues today G as I am told by a good friend of mine from Lincoln days that his roofing business in Nebraska is toast because he can't compete with his Mexican immigrant competition.

I can and do feel for you and your brother G as it was only my perhaps excessive impulse for personal freedom that kept me from what could have been his fate.

Remember too G that my solution had two parts.

First was send as many as possible home but...with the hope that once they returned home they would begin to make the changes there that would make it a win-win for all of us.

I just don't see the changes being made there until the proper pressure is applied here.

In this case, I guess I am calling for "tough love"!

Now, what I would give for one more nite in the arms of my sweet Spanish paramour, Cecilia!
9. reckless G | March 10th, 2008 at 3:07 pm

Star,

Thanks for the insight into your thought process. I appreciate the info.

The gist of your argument is that illegal workers are reducing the pay rate. Is that the extent of the damage, in your estimation? If so, you offer a refreshing change from others who blame illegal immigrants for increased crime and disease as well as burdening our schools with non-English speaking students. All a crock in my estimation.

As I see it, the pay rate issue is not the fault of the illegal immigrants, it’s the fault of employers and consumers. Employers can pocket more profits if they can pay people less, consumers can pay less for goods if they are picked or produced by people who are paid less. These issues could be solved if only you could beat the greed out of people.

Blaming illegal immigrants for our social problems is a classic case of scapegoating, and I ain’t buying it for a minute.

On the plus side, Latino immigrants carpool, ride the bus, share resources; bulk food, living space, fuel, and income. To me they represent the model environmentally aware citizens. If we took a page from their book, we’d all be better off. But overcoming the greed, selfishness, and stubborness of the average white American would be a bigger challenge than sending millions of illegals home. So we point at them and say they’re the problem and then we don’t have to make any changes in ourselves. Typical American attitude.

Gentlemen:

Your arguments, especially the man arguing in favor of illegal aliens is like getting on a bus that's too overloaded while you didn't notice that the man driving the bus has dark glasses and a blindman's walking cane next to his driver's seat. You're riding a bus that will add 138 million people in a short four decades. It matters little whether or not the new passengers are legal or illegal, or whether they benefit this society today. The bottom line remains that the bus is being driven over a cliff by the bus driver and all the while, he kept picking up passengers. It's your job to stop arguing about today and think about what your kids will do when the bus picks up an added 138 million that it cannot handle, cannot water, cannot feed and cannot sustain. Use your critical thinking instead of your emotions. FW www.FrostyWooldridge.com

[Your arguments, especially the man arguing in favor of illegal aliens...]

Ah, so that's what the "G" in "Reckless G" stands for: "Gentleman."

So much for the rhetorical principle of knowing your audience, say nothing of critical analysis.

I think Cicero would hang his head and rub his temples.

Cheers,

Mitch,

Frosty can’t be blamed for my choice of an ambiguous moniker. It isn’t the first time I’ve been mistaken for a man, even in person! Must be the short hair.

Frosty,

You characterize my argument as “in favor of illegal aliens.” I neither favor them nor disfavor them. I simply see no threat to my life, lifestyle, or country from illegal immigration. To me, the problem is not with the people, but with our laws.

Now, if overpopulation is the biggest threat you see to America, well bless you! I'll take that problem over a fascist government and corrupt power elite policies that line the pockets of the wealthy while making us more vulnerable to terrorism any day.

Peace,
Sue Gray

[Frosty can’t be blamed for my choice of an ambiguous moniker.]

You're probably right. My bad, Frosty.

Still, you can't read Aspen Post with any regularity--certainly as regularly as Frosty posts--and not figure out who Reckless G is...

Cheers,
14. Frosty Woolridge | March 11th, 2008 at 7:50 am

Sue Gray,

In the end, let's choose a viable and sustainable planet brought about by our intelligent actions. In this Republic, we have a chance, not by our complaints, but by our actions. Again, when arguing about illegal aliens, that's like arguing which seat you want on the bus as it goes over the cliff. How about your actions to change course. Immigrants are only a symptom of overpopulation? They are refugees from overloaded systems. They grow by 77 million a year. Check out www.numbersusa.com and watch the video from that site "Immigration by the Numbers". Join NumbersUSA.com and become a part of the solution. Yes, terrible leaders manifest all over the planet. Bush is a pathetic figure, but in the end, it's the common citizen that steps up to create change. You may find instances with Susan B. Anthony, Gandhi, Gorbachev, ML King, Eleanor Roosevelt and many others. Thanks for your passions for humanity.
