Why are the Gang of Eight and their supporters so anxious to pass their “less- than-perfect” immigration bill into law?

According to proponents, it will do everything that’s needed, including slicing, dicing, and creating julienned fries.

Yesterday, ol’ Chuckie Schumer said that “illegal immigration will be a thing of the past” , while dismissing border security as “not a major concern”.

Rancher Robert Krentz, of Arizona, would disagree…if he were still with us.

Back on April 24, 2010, in a post titled “For Mr. Krentz”, I told the story of te murdered Arizona Rancher…

Police say Robert Krentz, whose family has been ranching in southern Arizona since 1907, was gunned down early Saturday morning, March 27th, 2010, by an illegal immigrant while out on his ATV tending to fences and water lines on the family’s 34,000-acre cattle ranch.

Reached by phone early Tuesday at his family’s ranch, Andy Krentz, Krentz’s oldest son, said his father was a churchgoing man who routinely went out of his way to help those in need.

“My father was a very good family man,” Krentz told FoxNews.com. “He supported his kids, supported his family. He went out of his way to help anybody we could without regarding to who they were.  It didn’t matter who they were.”

Sue Krentz, Krentz’s wife, said she was “pretty overwhelmed” by her husband’s death, which coincided with her parents’ deteriorating health.

“This is icing on the cake,” Krentz said.

And, now here we are, on the precipice of adding millions of new Democratic Voters onto the rolls, with Leaders of both political parties falling over each other in their mutal efforts to show how open-minded they are toward those who are in our sovereign nation illegally, doing illegal things.

My feelings concerning these “undocumented individuals” can be summed up in the following allegorical story, which went viral, a few years ago.  You may have seen this already, but it explains illegal immigration as succinctly as anything I’ve come across:

Let’s pretend I broke into your house.  When you discover me there, you insist I leave.  But I say, “I’ve made all the beds, washed the dishes, did the laundry, and cleaned the floors; I’ve done all the work you don’t like to do. I’m hardworking and honest (except for breaking into your house). Not only must you let me stay, you must also add me to your insurance plan, educate my kids, and provide these benefits to my husband, too (he will do your yard work, he’s honest and hardworking too–except for that breaking in part). If you try to force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house and proclaim my right to be there! It’s only fair, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I’m trying to better myself. I’m hardworking and honest…except for, well, you know. I will live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of selfishness and prejudice.

Oh yeah, I want you to learn my language so you can communicate with me.

Good plan..don’t you think?

Why are our representatives so intent on rewarding those who have broken our laws with impunity?

Back on May 20th, 2010, I wrote a post titled Illegality, Not Civil Rights.  In it, I included an answer to a comment from the previous day’s post by a young man named Benito, who claimed to be a member of a pro-illegal immigration group, perhaps here illegally himself:

What makes the current influx of illegal immigrants exempt from the rules and regulations that every other generation of immigrants to this country had to abide by in order to become legal citizens of the greatest nation in the world?

By being here illegally, they are not entitled to the same rights as natural-born or naturalized American citizens. (As I related earlier) They are like someone who breaks into someone’s home, does their dishes, cuts their yard, cleans their house, and then helps themselves to their food and drives their car without asking.  This is in no way a human rights issue. Freedom is God-given. And, with freedom comes responsibility. With citizenship comes responsibility, like paying taxes and making your own way.

I understand that people want a better life for themselves and their children.  We are all immigrants in this land, expect for American Indians, and they got here by crossing the Bering Straight.  But there is a huge difference between immigrating here legally and sneaking in illegally, between assimilating into an existing culture, and insisting on replacing a country’s existing culture with that of the country you left.

I’m all for assisting anyone in becoming a legal citizen of the United States, if that is their wish.  But, it must be done the right way, and they must accept responsibility for their illegal entry, show a willingness to learn our language, and embrace our American way of life, including respecting the American Flag.

A wide-open Southern Border is as big a threat to the sovereignty of the United States as anything that our enemies can throw at us right now.  

Senators, Congressmen…please quit playing political one-up-manship in an effort to seduce those who are here illegally into becoming members of your political party, by bribing them with citizenship. You do a great disservice and hurl an even larger insult to those generations of immigrants who came here legally, and willingly became Americans, embracing our culture and way of life as their own, pledging their loyalty to our flag, and sacrificing their lives for our freedom, as members of our Armed Forces.

SECURE THE BORDER NOW.

DEAL WITH THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS THEMSELVES, LATER.

Here’s an idea…how about actually enforcing our existing laws?

Until He Comes,
