Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) said today that Americans need to stand up to “a deliberate plan by the president of the United States” to collapse the nation’s law enforcement system regarding illegal immigration.
“Our law enforcement system is in a state of collapse, and it’s a deliberate plan by the president of the United States, and it’s wrong. And, people need to be aware of it and need to stand up to it and I believe the American people are beginning to do so.”
“So, you come into the country illegally and the attorney general of the United States declares that these individuals have a civil right to amnesty. How can this possibly be: the chief law enforcement officer in America?
I believe those are entirely viable comments for Mr Sessions to make.
Then, of course, there is this:
Hoping for Asylum, Migrants Strain U.S. Border
by Julia Preston
HIDALGO, Tex. — Border Patrol agents in olive uniforms stood in broad daylight on the banks of the Rio Grande, while on the Mexican side smugglers pulled up in vans and unloaded illegal migrants.
The agents were clearly visible on that recent afternoon, but the migrants were undeterred. Mainly women and children, 45 in all, they crossed the narrow river on the smugglers’ rafts, scrambled up the bluff and turned themselves in, signaling a growing challenge for the immigration authorities.
The migrants are no longer primarily Mexican laborers. Instead they are Central Americans, including many families with small children and youngsters without their parents, who risk a danger-filled journey across Mexico. Driven out by deepening poverty but also by rampant gang violence, increasing numbers of migrants caught here seek asylum, setting off lengthy legal procedures to determine whether they qualify.
We are on our way towards not being a nation of laws, but a nation of conveniences and entitlements — expected now by persons not born on our soil.
This is a dangerous path to tread. What occurs when other venues of persons decide, on their own, which laws they will or will not obey? What happens, thanks to the Obama Administration’s non-handling of and disinterest in holding the IRS accountable — for example — when people have no confidence in the IRS and decide to no longer voluntarily comply?
This is, again, a dangerous path to tread.

The entire issue of illegal immigration is one which is so whitewashed by the government and the media that I fear the ‘average’ citizen does not or cannot truly appreciate its implications. What would happen if thousands of foreigners decided to storm the southern border much as is happening in Italy where upwards of 4000 illegals arrived (by boat) in just 2 days? Italy is sounding the alarm that upwards of half a million are ready to set off from north Africa. What would America do, what COULD America do if similar numbers of “Central Americans” were to advance toward her borders? By not upholding the existing law, by not taking prompt and yes, even drastic measures, aren’t we inviting just that sort of possiblity? Of course we are.
I have just started reading “the Camp of the Saints” written in 1973 by a Frenchman, Jean Raspail which depicts a hypothetical setting of a Third World mass immigration to France and the West resulting in the destruction of Western civilization. I can easily see this happening in Europe and in America. It is already underway. And honestly I don’t think there is a damned thing which can be done to stop it short of bloodshed. And an electrified fence. And perhaps a minefield.
Sessions is dead on, and agree with Abigail!!!
