During the Presidency of Ronald Reagan, the democrats convinced The Gipper to sign on to amnesty, with the promise that it would be the only time we would need to do such a thing, and that in return the democrats would ensure that the border became secure. Reagan signed on, and the democrats never lived up to their end of the bargain. Now, amnesty is knocking on the door again, and the leftists are making the same empty promises, and a portion of the republicans are believing the same, worn out rhetoric.
As I ask my Constitution Class in Temecula every Thursday Night at Faith Armory, whenever these kinds of things happen, you have to ask "why?", and you have to dig deeper into motive than is being revealed on the surface.
Over the years we have learned that conservatives (not necessarily republicans) are in the political game because they want to do what is best for the country. Leftists are in it for their agenda. Their decisions are based on what is best, down the road, for their power and money and forwarding their ideology. In other words, whatever it takes to eliminate their opposition.
The power the democrats seek lies in votes, and money. The illegal aliens crossing the border represent a potential of both.
In the case of Ronald Reagan's amnesty law, the legalization of millions of illegal aliens resulted in a loss of California, from identifying itself as Reagan Country, to a hopeless and irretrievable leftist possession of the Democrat Party. The State, which had been saved from the clutches are radical collectivistic leftism during the seventies, went right back to the Democrat Party by the end of the eighties thanks to a powerful new lobby fueled by a new citizenry that believed their undying loyalty was due to the liberal democrats.
The next round of amnesty has the State of Texas in the sights of the leftists. The flow of undocumented democrats into the Longhorn State is rapidly increasing, and the traditionally "red" state is being attacked left and left by the democrat party for daring to act so conservative, and for daring to be prosperous in return. And Texas, with its 38 Electoral Votes of 2012, an increase of four electoral votes from the previous election, going over to the democrats like California did, in the minds of the leftists, could spell the end of the GOP. All the Republican Party would have left are a bunch of lightly populated rural States, and finally, as the Founding Fathers feared, the more populous States would be able to collude together against the minority States and overpower the nation with a tyranny of the majority. . . and a well funded tyranny, at that.
Meanwhile, the federal government fails to enforce immigration laws in the hopes of bringing that amnesty number as high as possible - violating Article II where it states the President will faithfully executive the laws of the United States, and Article IV where it states the federal government will protect the States from invasion.
This is no longer politics. It is war. It is a life and death struggle for the soul of a nation, and what we are fighting for will determine if the United States, as it has existed for the last two centuries, will survive, or die and become a government controlled tyranny that is nothing like the Founding Fathers intended.
I don't plan to make compromises, and I don't plan to create big government alternatives to progressive democrat policies. We must only plan to defeat them. We must only work to defeat the leftist agenda of the Democrat Party.
For the Left, it is all about power and money.
