Foreign Nationals Wield Influence Over U.S. Government

There is a group of foreign nationals doing everything in its power to influence the U.S. Senate and House. Their influence is so strong that the will of American citizens is in danger of being ignored.

Who are these people?

Illegal immigrants.

Until the recent demonstrations against new immigration legislation, we haven't been able to visualize how many illegal immigrants are in this country. Now we know.

Just look at the photos of the Los Angeles demonstrations.

Here’s an excerpt from the Washington Post article linked above:

“In Los Angeles, a city that is 47 percent Hispanic, the march was a blunt reminder of Latino power in this city -- illegal or legal.”

We have allowed illegal immigration to go on for so long that illegal immigrants have become a political force. They have silently invaded and taken over Los Angeles.

Why aren’t we afraid when 500,000 foreign nationals crowd the streets of a U.S. city waving Mexican flags?

They look more like an invasion force than a demonstration.

They sort of act like an invasion force too - threatening our government.

“(Reverend) Rodriguez (president of the National Hispanic Association of Evangelicals) cautioned members of the Republican Party who back the tough House bill. ‘More and more Hispanics are voting, and more and more are voting conservatively,’ he said. ‘But if we are abandoned by the Republicans on this issue, it will nullify the possibility of a Republican winning national office.’”

I know a lot of illegal immigrants are nice, hard-working people. But it bothers me that they believe they should have some say in our government’s decisions.

They are not citizens.

Would you allow me to come to your family meetings and make decisions that would affect your kid’s lives?

Of course not. In the same way, we should not allow foreign nationals to make decisions that influence our nation.

According to this article, “Polls indicate about 60 percent of Americans oppose guest-worker programs that would offer illegal immigrants an avenue to lawful work status, and three-quarters of the country believe the government is doing too little to secure the nation's borders.”

And yet the Senate dithers.

There is an old story about how to boil a live frog.

You don’t drop a frog into boiling water, because he’ll jump right out.

Instead, you put the frog in a pan of cool water. Put the pan on the stove and slowly turn up the heat. As the water heats, the frog’s body will regulate its temperature accordingly. It will actually sit in the pan until it boils to death.

We have ignored the problem of illegal immigration too long. Now illegal immigrants are numerous enough they have taken over our Southwestern cities.

We need to take action, but it may be too late.

The frog is boiling.
