Amnesty?

For Illegal Aliens or the Nation

By John W. Slagle (ret) Special Agent, Anti-Smuggling U.S.B.P.

For many years, people in the United States have preferred to "never get involved" in any issue if their "comfort zone" is compromised. Wars, and death was far removed and always happened to a someone else. Unless a condition effected someone personally, there was no need to "stand up" for your rights in a society of laws. There were cops, the military, courts and politicians to ensure every citizen's rights in this country. The Police and Military took the chances, the courts insured every incident was correct by law and politicians will always be politicians.

In a very politically correct America, in a time of war, many people forget September 11, 2001 and once again revert to "never get involved" on any issue. Illegal Immigration entries, Terrorist Cells in the country, military service members killed in action, it's just news for most people that would not fight back if their lives were at stake in any situation.

In most areas of American society, a "thug" with a harsh intimidating voice, armed with a roll of toilet paper can do just about anything desired. Arizona, despite being an illegal alien friendly State condoned by elected officials is still a part of the United States of America. Protect Arizona Now 2004 petitions require voter identification to insure there is no voter fraud. An illegal alien U.S. Citizen cannot vote in Mexico, nor by law should an illegal alien from Mexico vote in the U.S. Signing PAN 2004 petitions would be an opportunity to think, make a decison based on facts and make a difference beyond indifference.

California and Arizona are occupied but not yet a part of Mexico while taxpayers, citizens and lawfully admitted resident aliens dare to be involved, just like special interest groups in D.C. Strange times ! A great part of Arizona is the right of Citizens to bear Arms openly to Concealed Weapons Permits. With all the B.S. presented by the News in 2002 to the present, Vigilante groups, armed citizens protecting their homes and property, the only "blood baths" were between human traffiicking organizations, Drop house extortions, homicides, narcotics. Citizens Groups perform a function on the border which is awareness.

In a common sense scenario, the Borders are a dangerous place, but if every so called Vigilante or neigborhood watch group were 'hellbent' on killing everything that crossed the LINE, you would hear the "outcries'" from all Special Interest Groups. There is no outcry when Alien Smugglers in a "gun battle' on I-10 murder four other smugglers in an attempt to retrive a load of cash crop aliens. Life is very real in Arizona for those with the ability to think . Everything else is politics as usual, left, right, or whatever with liitle opportunity for the "truth" on any situation unless a person has been there, done that.

God Bless this country and our military troops, both should never be forgotten nor compromised in any way.

About the Author

The author has spent over 32 years defending this nation and was on duty Sept.11 at HQ Intelligence. After retirement in 2002, returning to his home in Arizona, the borders were over-run with illegals, death was an everyday occurance, the Mexican Military was escourting narcotics shipments and shooting at our Border Patrol Agents. Park Ranger Kris Eggle was murdered in an international incident involving Mexican Hit men, narcotics smugglers at Lukville and politicians with the exception of Colorado Congressman Tancredo ignored the problem. The same situation existed with mainstream media. Even a load of illegal aliens whose vechicle was riddled with mexican military machine gun fire was not worthy of attention.

Like many people, he tried to contact elected officials on the problems, and recieved standard form replies in return. Finally, he had enough and wrote ILLEGAL ENTRIES which is now published and shows three decades on the Borders, and how politicians have created the problems in illegal immigration from 1972 to 2004. Like many of his partners, some who were killed enforcing immigration laws, Amnesty for lawbreakers is a "kick in the face" to our honored dead. As a longtime conservative, he will not vote or support any elected official whose interests are not for U.S. Citizens or lawfully admitted resident aliens.
