It's not about immigration, it's about power

This isn’t really about immigration, — it’s about power. Power for people OTHER than Americans -- Power for policitians -- Power for Marxist, Communist, Islamic groups within our borders!

What we’re seeing in the streets is a naked assertion of power by outsiders against the American nation. They demand that we comply with their wishes and submit our immigration policies for their approval, and implicitly threaten violence if their demands are not met. source "American Dhimmitude"

Don't believe me? Just look at these pictures and these and this:

This is precisely the same kind of challenge that aggressive outsiders are making against other parts of the West, including Muslim immigrants in Europe and, in the most extreme form, Palestinians in Israel. Supremacist Muslims have demanded that Europe repudiate Israel, legally prohibit public criticism of Islam, downplay acts of violent Jew-hatred by immigrants, and not deport Muslim illegal aliens. And some Palestinians, of course, demand that Jewish state abolish itself altogether, actually cutting it out of maps of the Middle East (just as illegal-alien marchers in L.A. held signs of North America with the United States crossed out). source

The Muslim American Society (MAS) Freedom Foundation Executive Director Mahdi Bray attended the Immigrants’ Rights Rally on the West Lawn of the White House. Bray said, ". . . treat justly all those who are within our borders. . . . We at MAS Freedom are committed to the just treatment of all immigrants within our borders.” Mr. Bray also calls The Minutemen a "self-styled vigilante movement". source

Well that sounds just hunkey-dorey, but site me ONE INSTANCE where illegal immigrants have NOT been treated justly. We have acted like door mats, allowing these illegals (more appropriately criminals) to break the bank of our healthcare system, schools system, fair wage and salary system, just to mention a few. But more importantly, we DON'T KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE!!! Are some of them terrorists? How in the world would we know? We don't!

Mark Steyn, in "Facing down a culture where they talk like crazies", says:

". . . we come back to the words of Osama bin Laden: ''When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature they will like the strong horse.'' That's really the only issue: the Islamists know our side has tanks and planes, but they have will and faith, and they reckon in a long struggle that's the better bet. Most prominent Western leaders sound way too eager to climb into the weak-horse suit and audition to play the rear end.

The above statements go for the subject of Dhimmitude (subjugating ourselves to Islam) and also to illegal immigration (allowing hordes of criminals to march freely in our streets and having the power to determine how our politicians vote). No difference. It is a struggle for power.

The Center for Immigration Studies suggests that the number of Middle Eastern immigrants in the US at somewhere between 3 million, to 6 million, upward to a possible 12 million, legal and illegal. The truth is they just don't know. What they do know is, "The number of Middle Eastern immigrants in the U.S. has grown nearly eightfold from 1970 to 2000, and is expected to double again by 2010. This growth could have significant repercussions for our homeland security — and our support for Israel."

What is means is our security is at risk. It means our future is at risk. It means the balance of power in all categories (religious, ethnic, views on law i.e. Sharia, etc.) is at risk. Mexicans are one thing, Muslims are quite another.

I hope our politicians will quit acting like the back side of a weak horse, grow a backbone, and pass some worth-while legislataion on immigration.

Excellent post and spot-on. The hypocrisy of Mexico's own immigration laws is a good example of this. A pol with guts would cut through the rhetoric and define the issue as it should be - a foreign policy matter, not a domestic civil rights' issue.
