How's immigration working out for you fellow Americans? Got a goober in your back pocket? Like what you see in Mexi-fornia? How about Mexi-zona? What can you say about Mexi-Texas? How about that 1965 Immigration Reform Act that added 100 million people in four decades? How about the next 100 million immigrants added by 2040?

By mid October, 2006, America reached 300 million people. In the next 33 years, through unrelenting immigration, the United States of America adds another 100 million people. By 2050, our country adds 20 million to reach a total of 420 million. Many experts expect higher numbers. Is it a milestone, millstone or societal nightmare?

In tomorrow's America of suffocating political correctness and clashing cultures, unrestricted immigration, both legal and illegal, proves a merciless weapon of war. George Bush promotes it, Condi Rice facilitates it and Dick Cheney shoves it down America’s throat. All maintain memberships in the Council on Foreign Relations—a One World Order organization dedicated to dissolving the borders and sovereignty of the United States of America.
If you look at the ‘elite class’ in America, none of them or their families dwell in the midst of that which they create for Middle America. We do!

During the final days of his presidency, Bill Clinton signed into law Executive Order 13166. Under that far-reaching order, any entity that receives federal funds, including state, county and local governments, must provide translations upon demand in any language a person wishes to conduct business, with the costs of translators and translations carried by the providers, private and public.

According to Katie Couric, Brian Williams and Charles Gibson, the United States surpassed 300,000,000 people in October 2006. Their current demographic predictions, based on immigration-driven growth levels, show America adding 100 million people by 2040. (Source: Fogel/Martin March 2006 “US Population Projections for 2050)
For those asleep at the wheel—that’s 33 years from now—a blink in time.
To place this kind of horrific growth rate into perspective, it resembles a “Human Tsunami.”

Readers of this column chastise me for not addressing what’s really happening to Colorado and America. They accuse me of dancing around the elephant in the kitchen. They want me to spell it out, to expose it, to say it like it really is. Here is what is happening to our country.
If you read about what happened in Broomfield yesterday in a Spanish class where a student chanted, “White power, white power,” you’re seeing responses, not to legal immigrants, but to the massive and unending illegal alien migration into Colorado and the rest of our nation. Illegal aliens force their language onto Colorado. It's wrong! It's against the law! Of course, you're going to see various responses erupt! You’re also watching the incremental breakdown of our cohesiveness as a nation. The philosopher Kant said, “The two great dividers are religion and language.”

In an email to the Con Man, Oldman writes:
Well it seems that we are destined to live in a gang land type setting in the near future. The peaceful valley is not very peaceful anymore.
Who is responsible for this problem?
Are the people that hired the illegals to cut their grass and clean their houses to blame for the shootings? Are the children of the peaceful gardners and maids that do work in the area the culprits ? Or are the companies that hire the illegals to do the labor that they say no one else will do responsible?

For part of the day on Wednesday, July 25, The Aspen Times ran a very disturbing story on its online version: Violent crimes mar Glenwood's weekend.
But in a stunning example of editorial irresponsibility, that story did not make the print version of the Times. The story reported on three instances of scary violence and intimidation: a mini riot, a stabbing, and a death threat (felony menacing). The Times reported that Glenwood Police Chief Terry Wilson said, “that ((the riot) was one of the most frightening situations he's ever seen an officer go through in the time he's been with the police department.”
Equally disturbing to the Times’ omission is the glaring complacency shown by the citizens of the Roaring Fork Valley, where the growing kinds and levels of violence is seeming of less concern to a somnambulant public than where to have lunch.

Having royally had it, on April 1, 2005, hundreds of peaceful but righteously indignant civilian volunteers of the month-long Minuteman Project assembled in the storied southeastern Arizona city of Tombstone to petition their government for a redress of their grievances—probably thinking they'd catch some hell for doing so, but not knowing the holy-half of it.

The best thing about Aspen Post as it rounds the corner toward its second year is not the snot of unsubstantiated personal opinion or the occasional railing against the snot-nosed richer than thou. The best thing about Aspen Post, without a doubt, is that we have been able to keep the tone on the level of civil discourse, to borrow a phrase from the Aspen Institute.
All but all of us who have written or commented on or about the blog you now hold in your hands have managed to get in our two cents without descending to the level of he-sucks/she-sucks. That's not just an achievement--that's a miracle, and not a small one.
