An important new documentary has just been released by Dennis Michael Lynch:

They Come to America: The Politics of Immigration

 

I appear in this must-see and hard-hitting documentary about the immigration crisis.  Please forward the link to this video to as many folks as you can!

I have appeared in several of Dennis’ previous documentaries about the immigration crisis.  This documentary goes well beyond the land border that is supposed to separate the United States from Mexico and reaffirms the undeniable fact that while the U.S./Mexican border must be secured, there are many other elements to the issue of border security and must be seen by every American!

Border security is national security.  

There is nothing “xenophobic” or “racist” about securing our borders from aliens who seek to evade the vetting process conducted at ports of entry.  Our immigration laws make absolutely no distinction about such superficial issues as race, religion or ethnicity.  Our immigration laws seek to prevent the entry of those whose presence would undermine national security, public safety, public health and the lives and livelihoods of Americans.   

In point of fact a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S. Code §?1182 enumerates the categories of aliens who are inadmissible and begins with aliens who pose a risk to public health.  This is of particular concern given the current Coronavirus pandemic.

I urge you to click on that link to the above-noted section of law and review that important statute.

Furthermore, I would remind you that Ellis Island, was, in fact a quarantine station that was run by officers of the Immigration Service and Public Health.

The official report 9/11 and  Terrorist Travel– Staff Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States was authored by government attorneys and federal agents assigned to the 9/11 Commission.

This report focused specifically on the ability of the terrorists to travel around the world, enter the United States and ultimately embed themselves in the United States as they went about their deadly preparations.and carry out an attack.  

The preface of this report begins with the following paragraph: 

It is perhaps obvious to state that terrorists cannot plan and carry out attacks in the United States if they are unable to enter the country. Yet prior to September 11, while there were efforts to enhance border security, no agency of the U.S. government thought of border security as a tool in the counterterrorism arsenal. Indeed, even after 19 hijackers demonstrated the relative ease of obtaining a U.S. visa and gaining admission into the United States, border security still is not considered a cornerstone of national security policy. We believe, for reasons we discuss in the following pages, that it must be made one.

Given the ongoing threats posed by a variety of international terrorists, each and every political candidate for any public office- must be asked a simple and unambiguous question, “Have you read, in their entirety, the 9/11 Commission Report and the companion report, the afore-noted 9/11 and Terrorist Travel?”

Kindly forward this e-mail to your senators and congressional representatives and to as many folks as you can and then ask that those to whom you send this forward it along to everyone they can- I am attempting to create a “Bucket Brigade of Truth!

Please remember to listen to my radio show, “The Michael Cutler Hour” on BlogTalk Radio on Friday evenings at 7:00 PM, Eastern Time, and find podcasts of my previous programs at:   

  The Michael Cutler Hour

Being “Pro-Enforcement” is not “Anti-Immigrant.”  Indeed, advocates for immigration anarchy are actually taking an “Anti-Immigrant” position by obfuscating the line that separates lawful immigrants from illegal aliens.  To provide a bit of clarity, while we are indeed a “Nation of immigrants” America is not a nation of trespassers.  The difference between an immigrant and an illegal alien is comparable to the difference between a houseguest and a burglar.

Americans must be willing to stand their ground and not be intimidated by the false accusations- far too much hangs in the balance!  We must speak out against mayors and governors who create “Sanctuary Cities” and “Sanctuary States.”

Many people have come to complain that we have become too “Politically Correct” to speak the truth about important issues.  My view is that the artful use of language that has been described as examples of political correctness are in fact, examples of Orwellian “Newspeak.” 

Having invoked George Orwell, it is appropriate to consider a couple of his brilliant quotes:

Political language — and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists — is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I addressed the way that control of language leads to thought control and ultimately a loss of our freedoms in my article for The Social Contract:

“Language Wars: The Road to Tyranny Is Paved with Language Censorship”

They Come to America: The Politics of Immigration

On February 27, 2019 Newsmax published my article, The Truth About Immigration Can Unite All Americans. 

On November 15, 2014 I was honored to join three true leaders in the United States Congress in a panel discussion on immigration- then-U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions and Congressmen Louis Gohmert and John Fleming.  A video of this panel discussion has been posted on the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s website under the title,  “IMMIGRATION WARS: An all-star panel takes on America’s immigration crisis at Restoration Weekend.”

The video has also been posted on YouTube under the title- “Immigration Wars.”

The perspectives of these true leaders are well worth listening to.

To provide you with a bit of additional material, during my remarks at the panel discussion, I referenced my June 22, 2007 Op-Ed for the Washington Times, Immigration bill a ‘No Go’ that focused on my concerns about the previous attempt to enact Comprehensive Immigration Reform.  Then-Senator Jeff Sessions quoted from my commentary, on three separate dates, from the floor of the U.S. during the contentious floor debates in 2007 when Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation was under consideration..  In my piece I recommended that Comprehensive Immigration Reform be given a more honest and descriptive title, I suggested that it be renamed the “Terrorist Assistance and Facilitation Act!”  

Discussions about immigration almost invariably focus on the lack of integrity to the border that is supposed to separate the United States from America.  Clearly that border lacks integrity and represents little more than a speed bump to smugglers who transport illegal aliens and contraband including record quantities of dangerous drugs such as heroin and cocaine into the United States.

However, there are many more components to the immigration system including systems by which aliens are granted visas to enter the United States and various immigration benefits such as conferring employment authorization to aliens in the United States and also include the adjudications process by which aliens are granted lawful immigrant status and even United States citizenship.

All of these systems of the immigration system lack integrity.  Aliens who have gone on to commit crimes and even participate in terrorist attacks have often been dissevered to have successfully gamed the immigration benefits program in order to embed themselves in communities around the United States as they went about their deadly preparations.
