When we all hear the president address the nation tonight with his plea for another amnesty and a promise at future border security, we should consider what he is not telling us.

Buried by the media, “A Line in the Sand: Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border”, the October, 2006 report from the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security [ don’t get me started ] illustrates the war-like conditions of the American border with Mexico and is a must read.

War-like being an accurate description of the ongoing invasion and colonization of the American nation.

We wonder if the President of the United States has read it.

The 38 page report may put some doubt in even the most ardent “we lasted this long as a nation, everything will be OK eventually” crowd.

For those of us rooted in reality, some news from the congressional report on the Southwest border:

* “Members of Hezbollah have already entered the United States across the Southwest border.”

* Of the 1.2 million illegal border crossers apprehended in 2005, only 165,000 were not from Mexico – and 650 of those were from countries with known terrorist activity.

Let’s see, it can’t be too bad having unsecured borders in a war on terror if we are catching 10 – 30 percent of the potential terrorists illegally entering our homeland. At the worst, only about 1,500 of them made it over our borders last year. Right?

A quote from Representative Michael McCaul, Republican from Texas, chairman of the Subcommittee on Investigations which assembled the report says a lot about security under the Bush administration.”The thing that keeps me up at night when I think, what can we do to prevent another 9/11?, is that [the Mexican crime cartels]own these delivery routes,” McCaul was quoted in Mittelstadt’s October 17, 2006 story, “Border Patrol, Lawmen Outgunned by Cartels.”

There can be no harm to American sovereignty if more than 10 percent of Mexico now lives in the U.S., right? And polls in that Third World narco-oligarchy show that more than 40 percent of the remaining population of 106 million would “migrate” here if they could.

Maybe another guest worker, path to citizenship program would solve their problems – it won’t ours.

The House report estimates that as much as 11 million pounds of cocaine made it into our nation from Mexico last year and states that Mexican drug cartels are the most dangerous criminal enterprise facing American law enforcement.

That 1,950-mile border with Mexico that the strongest nation in the world cannot control?

The House report points out that “the Mexican drug cartels wield substantial control over the U.S. – Mexican border.” And that they operate with military grade weapons, technology and intelligence. Our own Border Patrol Agents and law enforcement are out-gunned and out-manned.

We are past the five-year mark from the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, wages are going down for low-skilled Americans – if they can get a job without knowledge of the Spanish language – and 90 percent of the drug dealing MS-13 gangs here in Ben Franklin’s republic are described by the FBI as being made up of illegal aliens.

Try hard folks, everything will be all right if we can just grant another amnesty and path to citizenship. Si?

The Bush administration and the Democrats promise to secure the border and enforce our employment laws right after the repeat of the one-time path to citizenship of 1986…like they did then. Si?
