Illegal Immigration-Mexican Style

Should US Adapt Mexico’s Policies on Immigration?

How Mexico treats illegal aliens

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 28, 2010

– The Mexican government will bar foreigners if they upset “the equilibrium of the national demographics.” How’s that for racial and ethnic profiling?

– If outsiders do not enhance the country’s “economic or national interests” or are “not found to be physically or mentally healthy,” they are not welcome. Neither are those who show “contempt against national sovereignty or security.” They must not be economic burdens on society and must have clean criminal histories. Those seeking to obtain Mexican citizenship must show a birth certificate, provide a bank statement proving economic independence, pass an exam and prove they can provide their own health care.

– Illegal entry into the country is equivalent to a felony punishable by two years’ imprisonment. Document fraud is subject to fine and imprisonment; so is alien marriage fraud. Evading deportation is a serious crime; illegal re-entry after deportation is punishable by ten years’ imprisonment. Foreigners may be kicked out of the country without due process and the endless bites at the litigation apple that illegal aliens are afforded in our country (see, for example, President Obama’s illegal alien aunt — a fugitive from deportation for eight years who is awaiting a second decision on her previously rejected asylum claim).

– Law enforcement officials at all levels — by national mandate — must cooperate to enforce immigration laws, including illegal alien arrests and deportations. The Mexican military is also required to assist in immigration enforcement operations. Native-born Mexicans are empowered to make citizens’ arrests of illegal aliens and turn them in to authorities.

America’s Debt Ceiling-Truth or Fiction?

Barack Obama’s Lying Liars

January 28, 2011 by Chip Wood , Personal Liberty Digest

To hear our officials tell it, if Congress doesn’t vote to let the Treasury borrow more billions, and do it now, the U.S. will face the biggest calamity since women started wearing slacks.

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”

This is what then-Senator Barack Obama said in 2006, when he wanted to embarrass then-President George W. Bush about raising the debt ceiling back then. Wouldn’t you like to see the same commitment to “our children and grandchildren” from Obama today?

The Right is GOOD for America

Nugent: Don’t dial back conservative passion

Ted Nugent

January 15. 2011 5:52PM

In the wake of violence perpetrated by a Tucson lunatic, liberals and others who should know better are calling for political rhetoric to be toned down.

It’s only those on the left who really want to tone down the political rhetoric – as in conservative rhetoric.

I say conservatives should turn up the rhetoric. When honestly identified, the hues and cries from the right are good for America, calls to get America back on track. Only those opposed to such an upgrade would find fault with such rhetoric. …

Eliminate Racism

Black Tea Partier Encourages Whites to Call Out Black Race Exploiters

By Lloyd Marcus, Proud Unhyphenated American
January 16, 2011
NewsWithViews.com

The Jesse Jacksons of this world will continue to bludgeon the innocent with race as long as they know they will “get away with it.”
Folks, Freedom “ain’t” free! God designed life so that anything worth having is worth fighting for. Yes, my white brother and sister patriots, you will suffer media hits for standing up for freedom. My fellow black patriots will suffer being called traitors and Uncle Toms. However, America is worth it. Also, both political parties and the media no longer hold all of the cards. There is a powerful new sheriff in town called the Tea Party Movement who “have the backs” of all who share our values…….

Comprehensive List of Tax Hikes in Obamacare

Next week, the U.S. House of Representatives will be voting on an historic repeal of the Obamacare law.  While there are many reasons to oppose this flawed government health insurance law, it is important to remember that Obamacare is also one of the largest tax increases in American history.  The Article Link below gives you a comprehensive list of the two dozen new or higher taxes that pay for Obamcare’s expansion of government spending and interference between doctors and patients.

Income Taxes Are Not For Income To The Federal Government

December 20, 2010 by Bob Livingston

Before we get entangled in the doublespeak of the Internal Revenue Service Code and rulings, we need to consider that the whole Orwellian nightmare is a sham imposed by the police power of the State on a gullible people.

Actually the income tax has a dual purpose, and neither is to pay taxes to the government. Its first purpose is to control and redistribute the volume of money. …

The second reason the income tax system exists is to keep a dossier on all citizens. The 1040 tax return is your personal profile.  So-called income taxes, …

Physicians: Fines & Jail Time Coming?

Doctor/Patient Relationship Threatened!

In a YouTube video now going “viral,” a colleague of AAPS member Rob Steele, M.D., who is running against John Dingell for Congress, explains the implications of Part 1 (the “stimulus bill”) and Part 2 (PPACA) of ObamaCare for rationing and the destruction of the patient-physician relationship.

Dr. David Janda apparently got the word straight from Congressmen that he could be fined $100,000 for the first offense of defying the recommendations from Washington bureaucrats in treating a patient—and jailed for the second offense. Sending data to federal bureaucrats for immediate “advice” based on Comparative Effectiveness Research is, he says, the meaning of “meaningful use” of health information technology.

Will 46% of physicians, as stated by an Investors Business Daily poll, quit practicing when ObamaCare goes into effect? Or will even more quit, once the penalties described by Dr. Janda kick in?
