‘Revitalizing’ Detroit with 50,000 Syrian Refugees? » An idea that will drive the failed city deeper into poverty — and harm national security.

Hi Gang:

Kindly forward this e-mail to as many folks as you can and then ask that those to whom you send this, to forward it along to everyone they can- I am attempting to create a “Bucket Brigade of Truth!”
I urge you to get involved and demand our elected representatives actually represent us- We the People!  The information contained in my article is being provided to educate as many of our fellow Americans as possible so that they can ask the right questions and make the appropriate demands on our political leaders and representatives.  The article for which I am providing the link below should motivate everyone who reads it to call his/her senators and representatives to demand answers to know what congress is going to do to protect America and Americans.
On May 26, 2015 the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s FrontPage Magazine, published my most recent article:

 An idea that will drive the failed city deeper into poverty — and harm national security.

It is beyond belief that the administration and political leaders from both political parties have made an utter and complete mockery of our immigration laws and our borders by pushing for Comprehensive Immigration Reform.  
The United States already has the most generous immigration laws and policies of any industrialized country on this planet.  Under the already existing immigration laws the United States admits more than one million immigrants who are immediately placed on the pathway to United States citizenship.  This is a greater number of lawful immigrants than are admitted each year by all of the other countries of the world combined.  
Now a new and dangerous scheme is being touted by our leaders- provide tens of thousands of political refugees with asylum in the United States knowing full well that these thousands of aliens cannot be effectively vetted.  Please do not miss what I am saying- it is important for our nation and other nations to work cooperatively to protect people whose lives are at risk.  However, we must never permit our kindness and compassion to become a vulnerability that can be exploited by terrorists whose goal is to utterly and completely destroy our nation and our way of life.
The 9/11 Commission identified immigration fraud- especially where claims of political asylum are concerned, as posing a threat to national security.
Furthermore, assertions being made by politicians from both parties defy comprehension- they claim that the solution to massive unemployment and under-employment of American workers can be remedied by admitting more workers into the United States.  This goes beyond being simply counter-intuitive.  Every day more conscientious, highly qualified and highly experienced American workers are being displaced by foreign workers.
This is nothing short of the engineered destruction of the middle class and was the topic of articles I have written for FrontPage Magazine as well as for other organizations and websites.  This is causing wages across a wide array of jobs and professions to drop significantly.  Furthermore, as would be expected, foreign workers seek to send as much of their earnings back to their families in their home countries.  Who could blame them?  They are not the cause of our problems- our political leaders who support this betrayal of America and Americans are at the root of this insanity.
Every year upwards of 125 billion dollars is wired from the United States via remittances.  Still more money is moved out of the United States and is irrevocably lost to our economy by other, often surreptitious means.  When the “multiplier effect” is taken into account, this loss of money accounts for the annual increase of our national debt- and this is without further considering the impact of American middle class workers losing their jobs and therefore going from home-owning, tax-paying consumers to folks living below the poverty level- often losing their homes to foreclosure.  They become reliant on the various costly safety-net programs and lose their disposable incomes. 
Out of my disgust for the “leaders” of both political parties, I have decided to rename those parties- giving them names that describes them more honestly and accurately.  They should henceforth be referred to as the Repugnantcan Party and the Demoncrat Party!
The “All Clear” in the War on Terror has not sounded- ISIS continues its bloody rampage in the Middle East and has made it clear that they are determined to carry out terror attacks inside the United States.  This alone should wake up our leaders- but incredibly the failures of the Immigration system that were supposed to be addressed after our nation was so savagely attacked on September 11, 2001 have not only not been addressed, but under the current administration have gotten worse- much worse.
It has been said that “Charity must begin at home.”  I would add that “Compassion must also begin at home and first apply to Americans.”
Remarkably politicians have declared that once our southern border is made secure it would be appropriate to then proceed with a massive amnesty program.  I addressed this folly in my February 5, 2015 FrontPage Magazine article:

The ‘Secure Our Border First Act’ Deception »

Why it’s no solution to the immigration crisis.

Sleeper Cells: The Immigration Component of the Threat

Meanwhile, the lack of integrity to the immigration system not only undermines national security and public safety but is leading to the dismantling of America’s middle class and with it, the American Dream.

“Immigration ‘Reform’: Engineered Destruction of the Middle Class”

The real reason high-tech titans are lining up behind the amnesty effort. 

On November 15th I was honored to join three true leaders in the United States Congress in a panel discussion on immigration- 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”

The perspectives of these true leaders are well worth listening to.
This is the link to that video:

FrontPage Magazine posted the video and a transcript of this panel discussion.

To provide you with a bit of additional material, during my remarks at the panel discussion, I referenced an Op-Ed I had written for the Washington Times in which I articulated my concerns about the previous attempt to enact Comprehensive Immigration Reform that the Washington Times published on June 22, 2007.  Senator Jeff Sessions quoted from my commentary, on three separate dates, from the floor of the U.S. during the contentious floor debates.  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!”  

I recommend you review Senator Session’s statement on June 27, 2007 from the floor of the U.S. Senate on the Immigration Bill in which the Senator made reference to my suggested new name to that disastrous legislation in my Washington Times Op-Ed.  His impassioned pleas to his colleagues averted a catastrophe and that legislation was defeated.  However, not unlike Freddy Krueger, Comprehensive Immigration Reform has been brought back to life through the unilateral actions of President Obama and his proposed executive actions.  Furthermore, there are politicians from both parties willing to give this legislative betrayal of America and Americans CPR!

My Op-Ed was entitled:

Immigration bill a ‘No Go’

On December 19, 2014 Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS) posted my commentary:
Today our nation and our citizens face a list of challenges and threats- nearly every one of which is being exacerbated by long-standing failures of our nation to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws.  To be clear, it is not “Anti-Immigrant” to want these two issues to be dealt with effectively.  In point of fact, the same immigration laws that mandate the categories of aliens to be kept our of our country and the terms under which aliens should be removed from our country have absolutely nothing to do with race, religion or ethnicity, also provide for the lawful admission of roughly one million lawful immigrants and the naturalization of hundreds of thousands of new citizens each year.
It is therefore a contradiction in terms and thinking to claim that it is “Anti-Immigrant” to support the effective enforcement and administration of our immigration laws   
Let us be clear in our thinking- it is “Pro-Immigrant” to be “Pro-Enforcement!”
When the issue of immigration comes up most people purely 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.


On June 13, 2013 I was interviewed by Neil Cavuto at Fox News on the topic:

The interview ran about 4 minutes and is worth watching.

On April 4, 2014, CAPS (Californians for Population Stabilization) posted my commentary that asks the questions all Americans need to ask their political “representatives.”  My commentary is aptly titled:  “How? Why?”

In his historic speech before the 3rd Army on May 31, 1944, General George S. Patton said, on the strategy of holding a position:

“We’re not holding anything, we’ll let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly, and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy.”

Pushing back against Comprehensive Immigration Reform is the same as holding position. The time has come for us to advance by demanding that our borders be made truly secure and our immigration laws be effectively administered and enforced.

Comprehensive Immigration Reform violates all of the findings and recommendations of the 9/11 Commission but no one is willing to even consider how the lack of real border security and the lack of real integrity to the various components of the immigration system imperil national security and public safety.

The findings and recommendations of the 9/11 Commission must be the starting point for any discussion about immigration legislation.  That commission determined that a lack of border security, including the visa process. and fraud in the immigration benefits program, enabled terrorists to enter and embed themselves in the United States, as they went about their deadly preparations.

Immigration is not a single issue but a singular issue that impacts nearly every challenge and threat confronting the United States today!  Simply stated, the immigration laws were enacted to save lives and protect the jobs of American workers.  In point of fact, our borders and our immigration laws are America’s first line of defense and last line of defense against international terrorists and transnational criminals.
It is not “Anti-Immigrant” to be “Pro-American!”

Our armed forces are charged with securing America’s borders externally while the DHS is supposed to secure those same borders from within.  The failures of the DHS to live up to its half of the equation are undermining the efforts, valor and incredible sacrifices of Americas men and women who serve in our military!
If our government’s failures to protect American jobs by securing our nation’s borders and effectively enforcing our immigration laws concerns you or especially if it angers you, I ask you to call your Senators and Congressional “Representative. This is not only your right- it is your obligation! 

All I ask is that you make it clear to our politicians that we are not as dumb as they hope we are!

We live in a perilous world and in a perilous era. The survival of our nation and the lives of our citizens hang in the balance.

This is neither a Conservative issue, nor is it a Liberal issue- simply stated, this is most certainly an AMERICAN issue!

You are either part of the solution or you are a part of the problem!

Democracy is not a spectator sport!

Lead, follow or get out of the way!
