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?

A listener writes the Con Man:
One of the ruses employed by in-the-know illegals (and they are as a group surprisingly "in the know") is to claim a large number of dependents because this increases the net size of their weekly paycheck. This works well for them insamuch as they often have no intent whatsoever to ever file an income tax return because it is their plan to have moved on to another employer, and another, and each and every time they arrange to have the least amount of money deducted from their checks....after all when tax time comes, they don't care that their single status would require that they make up the less than appropriately withheld difference...they won't be filing or paying taxes anyway. In other words, the only shot that the government gets at their income is through the deductions that come in for each pay period, and this little maneuver has side stepped that access to those taxes rightfully due from the illegal.

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.”

American citizens in their own country suffer more deaths via illegal aliens in the United States annually than combat soldiers in Iraq.
Recent rifle blasts into a Basalt 7-11 illustrate the Roaring Fork Valley's dilemma. A Glenwood Springs officer shot in the chest by an illegal alien proves our vulnerability. When will Aspen businesses shun lawlessness by not hiring illegal aliens? Since they won't stop illegal hiring practices, when will the next shooting become the "Aspen Massacre" or "Aspen Rape"?

Shortly before 11:00 pm last Thursday night, Representative Michael R. McNulty (D-NY) gaveled the vote on H.R. 3161 closed. What appeared to be a final tally of 215-213 Nay, McNulty declared a 214-214 tie. This was followed by a chorus of "shame, shame, shame" and House Republicans walked out on the proceedings.
So what did the Democratic leadership do? While Representatives argued over the two different vote tallies, the Democrat leadership strong-armed Democrats who voted Nay. In a creative application of parliamentary procedure, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) then offered a “motion to reconsider,” which was seconded. This un-did McNulty's gavel and reopened the tally. In the time it took to “reconsider” the vote, the Democratic leadership managed to flip three votes. The final tally was recorded 216-212 Yea.

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?

There is a false set of choices to solving illegal immigration being perpetuated by the illegal-alien amnesty crowd They claim that our only options are to institute a draconian and implausible mass rounding up of illegals or to give them amnesty, or its euphemistic equivalents (e.g., “regularization,” “earned legalization”). Among those spreading this nonsense are the worse president in U.S. history, Jorge Bush; the notoriously fowl-mouthed presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, and Sen. Ted Kennedy, the killer of Mary Jo Kopechne. Quite the cabal.

With no mention of the entrance to Aspen, former Pitkin County Commissioner Mick Ireland made an appearance at the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES) to tell voters what he plans to do for the environment.
