State Sponsored Hate
“State Sponsored Hate” – that is what the pro-illegal alien movement is calling HB 1804, the Oklahoma Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act of 2007.
Yesterday in Tulsa, those supporting amnesty for illegal aliens kicked off their campaign against HB 1804 with two billboards on eastbound Interstate 44 and promise more to come.
The poster child for this billboard campaign is a young girl crying. The caption reads “My mommy is not a criminal. She is a hard working Hispanic woman.”
Among those speaking at one of the billboards were:
David Bernstein with the Jewish Federation of Tulsa, quoted in media reports as saying of HB 1804, “We expect the government to make law that prevent discrimination, not require it” Bernstein was also quoted as saying, “In Oklahoma, House Bill 1804 seems to be designed to make life miserable for thousands of immigrants.”
Reverend Victor Orta of the American Dream Coalition was quoted in media reports as saying of HB 1804, “There are people who just harbor in their heart ill-will, and this gives them an opportunity to vent that.”
Dr. Luis Carlos Sanchez with United Front Task Force was quoted in media reports as saying of HB 1804, “It fosters that hatred or that division between groups and it is not right.”
HB 1804 does none of the things which Bernstein, Orta and Sanchez ascribe to it.
HB 1804 is not based in hate, but rather in love.
Love of the United States of America coupled with a desire to see it protected against the dangers of illegal immigration and preserved against the threat from those that would turn it into yet another failed, third-world, socialist country.
When one flagrantly violates a law they are a criminal. When one condones and encourages the violation of the law they are an enabler of crime.
When law abiding citizens speak out and demand their elected representatives act to combat crime they are not practicing hate but are upholding the very principles upon which this nation was founded.
Some, possibly including Bernstein, Orta and Sanchez, may not be happy with any scenario other than one wherein US Border Patrol agents are handing out “green cards” to any and all comers at the southern border.
Hopefully that day never comes.
In the meantime, if “mommy” entered this country illegally, she is a criminal, regardless of what Bernstein, Orta and Sanchez tell you…
Up here, in Canada, we also have an immigration problem. The worst of it, though, is that it’s LEGAL. Over 250,000 immigrants are brought to Canada, annually. The banking and real estate lobbies want it nearly DOUBLED, to 400,000 per year.
Banks such as BMO Financial and RBC fund ‘environmental’ groups, like the David Suzuki Foundation. That, coupled with political correctness (most immigrants are People of Colour) has led to self-censorship about the population issue, amongst environmentalists. The fact of the matter remains that constant population growth, mostly because of immigration, is the SOLE cause of urban sprawl, loss of wilderness and farmland, and stress to freshwater supplies. Immigration to Canada, Britain and the U.S. also exacerbates CO2 emissions (people from a warm climate move to a cold climate, hence end up using energy to stay warm).
‘Liberal’ parties (Canadian and Aussie Liberals, British Labour, U.S. Democrats) love [il]legal immigrants, because of their links to the construction and real estate sectors. Ma** immigration keeps the housing bubble permanently inflated: with a stable population, there is no need to build new housing and a**ociated infrastructure (roads, schools). The fiction that all these immigrants are needed to shore up the pension system and provide labour is refuted by the facts. Many ELDERLY immigrants enter the U.S. and Canada, as part of family reunification. In Europe, the ‘guest workers’ really are more guests than workers, with staggeringly high welfare rates. The ‘labour shortages’ in the developed world could be solved by much needed private sector and government layoffs (e.g., the gross excess of production capacity in auto factories, pointless make-work programmes like city bylaw and registration/permit bureaucracies).
If you want to tackle immigration reform, you have to go against the people who are selling out your country–the construction and lad-development sectors.
