Republican Presidential Debators say " Secure the Border'

All eight of you say, "'Secure the Border"!   At whose expense? And who profits from this never ending nightmare of failed immigratio­n?

I have listened to this same line of baloney for some 35 years now. What amazes me most is that many voters still buy into it.

Well, actually I am not that amazed. These people up there running for President are hired by the same people who profit from failed mortgages, failed health care, and the destructio­n of the American middle class. Many Americans are so overwhelme­d that they do not have the time to read between the lines of their motives and their recurring rhetoric.

Immigratio­n is no different. The song and dance is the same as it as always been. "Secure the border and boot them all out" on one side or "Immigrati­on reform and let them stay" on the other.

Two sides of the political isle pretending to be getting something done and blaming each other because nothing ever gets done.

I finally understand­. That is their game, and that is what they do. That is the design of the rich who promote them into office. Keep them voters mesmerized with hope and keep our profits coming, but don’t change anything.

Anyone up to an immigratio­n protest that will bring this nightmare to a halt?

DREAM ACT KIDS - NOW'S the TIME in Spanish and English

Hola, chicos del Dream Act.

Soy un agente retirado de la Patrulla Fronteriza. Déjenme decirles que después de trabajar durante 25 años dentro del sistema migratorio fallido de los Estados Unidos, estoy completamente con ustedes.

En base a mi larga experiencia, tengo dudas fundadas sobre las intenciones y la efectividad del más reciente cambio en la política migratoria del presidente Barack Obama. Para aquellos de ustedes que tengan casos pendientes en las cortes, relacionados con su estado migratorio, por lo que entiendo, sus casos serán “cerrados administrativamente”. Eso significa que sus casos serán declarados inactivos o archivados. Sin embargo, está acción no implica gozar de una situación migratoria normal dentro de la Unión Americana. El hecho es que sin cambios en las leyes, sus casos podrían ser abiertos de nuevo y ser objeto de deportación.

Se ha comentado que podrían recibir autorización de trabajar en el país. Pero eso podría ser más difícil de lo que creen. Para empezar, ¿podría la medida ser aprobada en el Congreso?

El Departamento de Seguridad Interior (DHS) ha usado el rezago de trescientos mil casos migratorios en las cortes y lo ha politizado.  El presidente Obama nos prometió una reforma migratoria. Y bajo dicha promesa está promocionando esta “nueva política”.

Lo que el gobierno está haciendo es ejercer su facultades discrecionales de actuación. En otras palabras, pueden escoger y concentrarse en casos de mayor prioridad y llevarlos a las cortes. Pero no es nada nuevo. El DHS siempre ha contado con esas facultades.

El problema, mis estimados chicos del Dream Act, es que aquello que puede ser cerrado administrativamente puede ser reabierto en el futuro. Así que háganse la siguiente pregunta: ¿Qué haría una administración republicana anti inmigrante con sus casos inactivos, si el presidente Obama pierde la elección de dos mil doce?

Les aseguro que ustedes tienen otra opción además de la que ellos tomaron para determinar su futuro.

Con base a mi experiencia les confieso que hay algo que en verdad preocupa a esta y a cualquier administración: no le gusta la publicidad negativa y no desea quedar en ridículo.

Pienso que ya es momento de conocer las cartas que están jugando. ¿Impulsan una reforma seria e integral o sólo los están tratando de impresionar?

Este es el momento para que todos los posibles beneficiarios del Dream Act soliciten una audiencia de migración.

Ustedes ya vieron lo incómodos que se sintieron con un rezago de trescientos mil casos. ¿Qué haría el gobierno si todos decidieran exigir sus derechos y aumentar dicha cifra a un millón de solicitudes?

Les advierto, soy un activista pro migración, no un abogado migratorio. Lo menciono porque no puedo darles asesoría legal.

Puedo contarles sobre  las cosas que conozco. He trabajado y he sido testigo del fenómeno migratorio durante más de treinta y cinco años. Ellos suelen prometernos muchas cosas pero cumplen muy pocas. Es el juego que practican.

Ustedes tienen la oportunidad, como un solo grupo, de arriesgarse y obligar a las autoridades a tomar una decisión. De lo contrario, terminarán por hacer lo que siempre han hecho: hacer muchas promesas, poner excusas y hacer lo menos posible o nada.

Organízense. Vayan a la Oficina de Imigración y Aduanas (ICE) y soliciten una audiencia migratoria. Podrían tener en sus manos más poder del que pensaban.

Para Cenit, reportó John Randolph, desde el estado de Colorado.

Hi Dream Act Kids,

I am a retired US Border Patrol Agent.  Let me say that after working for 25 years with a failed US immigration system, I am totally on your side.

From my experience I have serious doubts about the intentions and effectiveness of President Obama's recent policy change decision.    For those of you who have immigration cases’ pending in immigration court, my understanding is that your cases will be “administratively closed”.  That means your cases will be held inactive, or shelved.      This action does not give you legal immigration status in the US.  The fact is, without a change in the law, your cases could be reopened and you still could be deported.

There has been some talk of giving you work authorization.  That may be more difficult than meets the eye.  Will this type of change pass congress?   

DHS has taken this backlog of some 300,000 immigration court cases and made it a political issue.  President Obama promised immigration reform.  He is parading this “new policy’ announcement in that light. 

What they are actually doing is exercising prosecutorial discretion.  In other words, they can pick and choose what cases they prioritize and take to court.  This is not new.  DHS has always had that power.

The problem is that your cases that they say they will administratively close can be reopened in the future. Please ask yourselves this question:  “What will an anti-immigrant republican administration do with your inactive cases if President Obama loses the election in 2012?”   

I say that you have another choice beside the one of letting them decide your future.  

I can tell you from my experience what really troubles this or any administration.  They don’t like negative publicity and they don’t want to be embarrassed.    

I say now is the time to call their hand.  Are they serious about reform or are they just shinning you on?

Now is the time for every eligible Dream Act person to ask for in immigration hearing.  You saw how uncomfortable they were with a backlog of 300,000.  What would they do if you all stood up for yourselves and boosted that number to one or two million?

Please be advised, I am an immigration activist; I am not an immigration lawyer.  That is my disclaimer because I can’t give you immigration advice.

I can give you the insights that I know.  I have worked in and watched immigration for over thirty five years.  They promise many things, and deliver few.  That is the game they play.

You have the opportunity now to take the risk as a group, and force them to decide.  Otherwise, they will do what they always do;  make lots of promises, excuses, and do very little or nothing.

Organize.  Go to ICE by the tens of thousands and ask for immigration hearings.  You have more power than you know.

Who Do Americans Blame?

In response to:
http://www.npr.org/2011/07/10/137713258/migrants-work-for-the-future-sing-to-remember

The good people of the US and Mexico are being raped by the elite who profit from both countries’ failed immigration and drug war nightmares.   

It does not surprise me that many good Americans are confused as to who to blame for their abuse.  They see their tax dollars and loss of jobs going toward supporting the undocumented in the US.  Yet they blame the symptom and not the cause.

The real perpetrators of this crime are the same elite who abuse the Mexican undocumented.  But who has time to figure this out and educate themselves when their jobs, food, and homes are at risk?  By the way, the same elite have designed that scenario too.

Here are two articles that will help:  http://petras.lahaine.org/?p=1855

The elite on both sides of the border profit (at our expense) from their puppet politicians’ failed drug and immigration wars.   Just as they do with failed health care, mortgage meltdowns, and job/economic crises.

Are you sick of it?

Bare (BEAR) With Me!

In response to this NPR article: 
http://www.npr.org/2011/07/10/137741499/at-least-40-killed-in-mexico-over-24-hours

Our tax dollars via the Merida Initiative are being used to help arm the Mexican Government with the war on drugs.  The US Military Industrial Complex, its lobbyists, and elected representatives profit or benefit from the failed war on drugs and illegal immigration.  US gun manufactures profit by helping arm the Mexican cartels.  US banks profit by laundering cartel drug profits.  Nearly 40,000 people have been killed in the US backed war on drugs in Mexico since 2006.  Please read the insidious reality that our government is involved in:    http://petras.lahaine.org/?p=1855

Cartel drug profits as well as remittances from the undocumented within the US help keep Mexico financially afloat.  The US still needs Mexican oil.  Both countries’ economies rely upon trade with each other.  US agricultural corporations and other industries rely upon cheap Mexican labor.  NAFTA has raped small Mexican corn farmers and other small businesses (Wal-Mart is the number one retail store in Mexico).   How many US (Federal, State, and Local) drug, immigration, police, prison, contract prison, and court agencies’ budgets and payrolls are dependent upon taxpayer funding for these continuing enterprises?

Check out this article:

Huge profits are being made at the taxpayers’ expense, yet many voters cannot see beyond the political enforcement propaganda, hype and rhetoric.  

Is this not similar to the mortgage, job, and health care crises?   

Here is a plan to peacefully break at least one of their scams.

NAFTA and CAFTA - Tools of the Rich

In response to this article:  Weekly Diaspora: How Bad U.S.-Latin American Policy Fuels Unauthorized Immigration

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/the-media-consortium/weekly-diaspora-how-bad-u_b_852152.html

The rich in America are pretty clever. The are getting richer off of Mexico and Latin America, all the while their hired politicos have many American burro voters blaming the other victims of this scam, the undocument­ed from those countries.

Are you so brainwashe­d that you believe that these people would come here if they had a decent living wage and a safe place at home to raise their families?

You could actually join them and support them in making that change. You will have to educate yourselves and be willing to something different than voting these puppets into office.
