Power, Corruption, and Immigration Law

Posted by Tina

Thanks to research done by Michael Bargo Jr. at The American Thinker we can all rest assured that immigration control, and a considerable amount of gun and bomb violence prevention, is already within the power of the US government and the various states. Turns out, we don’t need more immigration control measures, we already have them! But there’s a problem. The radicals in control simply ignore the laws and instead work tirelessly to facilitate illegal entry into the United States.

Instructions are given to would be illegal immigrants in Mexico to show them how to apply for benefits once across the border. In some areas a form to register to vote is included with food stamps. Some American cities offer sanctuary to anyone that has come here by illegal means. These are some of the ways leftists encourage and support illegal entry into our country. But there’s another…have you heard of the “Matricula Consular” card?

I have to confess, this is a new one for me:

…the Cook County, Illinois, board of commissioners passed a law making the Matricula Consular card, which does not have background checks, a valid form of I.D. The Chairman of that Committee is John Daley, the brother of Bill Daley who served as Obama’s Chief of Staff. The president knows of these I.D. issues and has the authority to stop them.

At the same time Democrats have made the Matricula Consular card available to immigrants, they have aggressively fought any moves to “document” these persons through official channels. For example, they fight Voter I.D. laws, national I.Ds., and efforts to restrict the decennial Census count to citizens. All of these actions have one goal in common: they are efforts crafted to ensure that Democrats stay in control of their “documentation.”

Consider a few statistics that Mr. Bargo gathered together:

In 2011 the General Accountability Office (GAO) published a report called “Criminal Alien Statistics.” This report listed the types of crimes for which illegal aliens were actually convicted from 2001 to 2009. Those who wish to prevent bombings such as occurred at the Boston marathon should note that from 2001 to 2009 the DOJ convicted 68 illegal aliens of terrorism related acts. These included actions related to the bombing of public places. (P. 25) In this time period the DOJ convicted an additional 9 illegal aliens who had links to international terrorism. (P.26). Illegal aliens were 17% of the total inmate population convicted as a result of terrorism-related investigations. These terrorists were able to enter the country unhindered due to the lack of background checks performed upon illegal immigrants.

Seventy-three percent of all criminal aliens incarcerated came from Mexico and four other Central American countries. Persons born in these countries are the ones most likely to illegally enter the U.S. through the southern border.

And with regard to murder, the crime Democrats use as the rationale for passing strict background checks, the report found that in 2008 in the five states of New York, Texas, Arizona, Florida and California there were 6,300 illegal alien inmates convicted of homicide. An additional 1,550 were convicted of weapons violations. The homicide rate for illegal aliens was particularly high in New York State were 27% of all person convicted for homicide were illegal aliens. This suggests that if the background checks required by the normal process of legal immigration were conducted, the great majority of these 6,300 homicides would have been prevented. These background checks are already mandated by Federal law yet Democrats are primarily responsible for ignoring them. (emphasis mine)

This administration is corrupt and power hungry. What passes for leadership, and what passes for or concern in incidents like Sandy Hook, is pure partisanship conniving for a radical agenda and absolute power and control. Our country has been smeared and weakened by one big pile of radical progressive Democrat Party stink…as a result we are adrift and sinking fast.
