Is America Now a Failed Socialist State?

Two ‘Dreamers’ caught smuggling illegal immigrants into U.S.

This is just another reason NOT to legalize the so-called “Dreamers.”  Yes, they were brought here as children with little say in the matter, but contrary to what the left would have you believe, they are not all a bunch of doughy eyed pre-K school kids.  Most now are adults, and have had ample time to figure out that they are in fact here illegally, and could have made the decision to leave or make themselves known to the authorities.

THEY DIDN’T.

Once they reached the age of 18, there were no more excuses.  They were consciously breaking out immigration laws, and many are breaking all sorts of other laws, as evidenced in this article.  When the justice system turns a blind eye to the non-citizen while enforcing EVERY law on the citizen, you have a huge problem.

On contact with law enforcement, they must be sent back to whatever country they came from.  End of story.

By Stephen Dinan – The Washington Times – Thursday, October 12, 2017

Two young illegal immigrant “Dreamers” in the U.S. under protection of the Obama-era DACA deportation amnesty were caught smuggling illegal immigrants in separate incidents in Texas, authorities announced Thursday.

The arrests come at a time when Congress is debating what to do about Dreamers, and the arrests could complicate the picture painted of Dreamers as law-abiding standouts who are victims of circumstance.

Customs and Border Protection said the first smuggling attempt was broken up on Oct. 4, after Border Patrol agents stopped a car at a checkpoint on Interstate 35 and discovered two illegal immigrants from Brazil hiding in the trunk.

The driver of the car was from Guatemala, a juvenile who had been approved by the Obama administration for a DACA permit in 2016.

Three days later the same checkpoint snared another DACA recipient from Mexico smuggling an illegal immigrant from Mexico in his trunk.

Neither of the Dreamers’ names were released.

They and the illegal immigrants they were trying to smuggle are all being processed for deportation, CBP said.

To qualify for the DACA program illegal immigrants must assert they were brought to the U.S. as children and have kept a relatively clean record.

Immigrant-smuggling violates the terms of the agreement, as does gang membership or other serious crimes of violence.

As of this summer, some 2,139 Dreamers had had their DACA status revoked, out of nearly 800,000 people who’d been approved for the program — an incredibly low rate of about a quarter of 1 percent.

President Trump last month said he was phasing out the DACA program, saying otherwise it was likely to have been struck down by the courts, which the administration said could have sparked chaos.

Instead, Mr. Trump announced a six-month phaseout, with those currently protected allowed to serve out the rest of their permits, which are good for up to two years.

The president said he wanted Congress to use the six months to pass a more permanent solution.

Democrats and some Republicans have called for a quick legalization and a full pathway to citizenship, while the Trump administration says it doesn’t support full citizenship, and wants to see any bill coupled with stiff enforcement measures.

More than 100 Million Gun Owners Did NOT Kill Anyone Today, but Abortion Doctors Did ⋆ Constitution.com

Why is it that we correctly see one nut with a gun killing 59 people as horrific, but shrug our shoulders at one “doctor” with a scalpel who kills THOUSANDS of babies? Why aren’t 55 MILLION dead babies since Roe v. Wade making America sick to its collective stomach? What about blacks, who were/are SPECIFICALLY targeted by the eugenicists who brought us abortion? You would think that blacks would be doing everything they could to end abortion since it is being used to eliminate them BECAUSE they are black.

Using the “logic” of the left, shouldn’t we be banning scalpels?

YouTube Targets Mike Rowe for Restriction, You’ll Never Believe Why! ⋆ Constitution.com

Have you ever watched Mike Rowe?  If you honestly have, then you know he’s not much of a political person, at least in his public life.  The values he tends to support could be considered traditional, and perhaps conservative, but he very much tends to keep his politics to himself.  If you’ve watched the video in question in the linked article, and you AREN’T wondering how in the world YouTube could find it offensive, I question your sanity, morality, and mental stability.

Conservatives have been noting for some time how increasingly progressive outlets like YouTube, Facebook, and Google are doing everything they can to stifle conservative thought and opinion, but Mike Rowe???  Seriously, YouTube.  At least TRY to hide your anti-conservative bias.

Bret Stephens & Second Amendment – Fundamentally Wrong | National Review

Regardless of what the screeching progressive left tells you, you need to understand ONE thing about our 2nd Amendment rights. The 2nd Amendment was NOT put in place because of hunting, and the argument that the founding fathers couldn’t foresee AR-15s and AK-47s and didn’t intend people to have military arms is a strawman because ALL weapons at the time were military weapons.

The 2nd Amendment was put in place primarily to serve as the last line of defense against a tyrannical government. Do I need to repeat that for you? Let it sink in for a moment.

The British kept trying to confiscate colonists’ weapons so they couldn’t resist the king. A defenseless populace could not resist the oppression of the government. After winning the war, the founders were determined NEVER to allow that to be the case in America again, which is why they codified their hard-earned knowledge in the 2nd Amendment.

So, as politicians begin talking about gun control again, limiting your rights to keep and bear arms, and as the democrats are now finally OPENLY discussing confiscating your weapons, you are seeing the 21st century manifestation of the King of England and the British Parliament here on American shores.

The only difference between the 1700s and now is that the oppressors are on THIS side of the ocean.

They Tyranny of Gun Control

When a politician wants to make you live by a rule or law which they refuse to live by themselves, that should tell you all you need to know about submitting to such a law.

Here we have the ultra-progressives of California who want all the gun control they can get, but have openly exempted themselves from it.  When someone wants to keep their guns, but doesn’t want you to keep yours, does that send a message to you?  It should.

Realize that this didn’t happen yesterday, but back in 2011.  Since then, the progressives have just been making it harder and harder for the citizens of California to own a gun while the progressive politicians arm themselves with impunity, and have armed security.

Until we stop falling into the trap of blaming inanimate objects instead of blaming the criminal for their crime, we’ll never solve the problem.  And if we allow ourselves to be disarmed, we will have no protection from the criminals OR the tyrants who want to disarm us.

California Senate Votes 28-8 to Exempt Itself from California Gun Laws

The California State Senate agrees with Charlie Rangel that they “deserve” to own guns but the citizens do not! Every year they pass more and more gun control laws and NONE of them apply to themselves!

They voted 28-8 to exempt themselves from the gun-control laws that apply to the rest of the California.

You think maybe this will cause Californians to rise up? NOPE! It happened 5 years ago and since then, California has passed a plethora of other gun laws…that only apply to citizens.

Yes, you heard me right! The exemption was created in 2011 and the California legislature has passed a number of gun laws since. Pretty easy when you are passing bills that do not apply to you!

It is not the only special privileges California legislators provide themselves!

They do not pay red light camera bills or for gasoline!

How does it all happen so easily in California? The Washington Post explains:

Attempts by a handful of reformers to require politicians to provide a full annual disclosure of the benefits received from the public treasury have been rebuffed. Currently, government officials must file a statement of economic interests revealing income from any source other than a local, state or federal government agency. Gifts worth more than $50 also must be disclosed, but lawmakers rejected a bill that would have prohibited acceptance of concert and sporting event tickets, gift cards, spa treatments, golf outings and other benefits from lobbyists trying to buy votes.

Bills of this nature never meet an honest fate in which roll-call votes put members on the record as favoring or opposing each idea. Instead, reform measures are held in committee to die quietly as legislative deadlines pass. As of last week, it’s effectively impossible for a bill to become law if it hasn’t already passed in at least one of the chambers.

…and it just goes on and on!

Red Skelton said so eloquently in his commentary on the Pledge of Allegiance:

And to the Republic — A Republic: a sovereign state in which power is invested into the representatives chosen by the people to govern; and the government is the people; and it’s from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.

California has it backwards, they are running with the method of “from the leaders to the people.”

That is why I joined the 5 million people who have fled California within the last decade.

You can take me out of Texas in a pine box, and even then I will be kicking and screaming!

Where are the “Moderate” muslims?

I have often said that so-called “radical” muslims want to cut your head off while the so-called “moderate” muslims want to hold you down while they cut.  The person in this video, a man who was raised in an average, “middle-of-the-road” muslim home in Egypt, presents the evidence to prove my point.  He is right that IF, a very BIG “IF”, there is to be reform in islam, it must come from within islam.  However, non-muslims MUST admit what islam REALLY is.  If there ever is any sort of reformation in islam, non-muslims can encourage reform, but can have little or no actual involvement in it beyond simply defending against islam.  Trying to become involved in the process will only bring about even more resentment and hostility.  Catch-22.
