The Fourth Rule: Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this. - Saul Alinsky
The vitriol, fear mongering, and hate against Traditional-Americans came out it full view over the weekend against the Arizona crackdown against illegal aliens this weekend. (And they ARE illegal aliens. The term illegal immigrants is a misnomer.)
This is no small matter to the progressives. President Obama and the progressives clearly understand this battle over control over the illegal alien issue is the tipping point of our nation. Bringing 20 million new voters (with millions more to follow) into the fold of the dependent class will permanently change our culture. Progressives are intent in changing our culture toward one that values "social justice" over "equal justice," and values equality of outcomes over equality of opportunity, and values government dependency over upward mobility.
President Obama said "I've instructed members of my administration to closely monitor the situation and examine the civil rights and other implications of this legislation." That's code language meaning that the Justice Department and Equal Opportunity Commission will go after Arizona like a school of sharks. They will pounce on this law, and will attack every official in Arizona who supports/enforces the law, and they will apply every available resource to do it. They have pounced on Sheriff Arpaio of Mariocpa County for 15 months, and so far their legal attacks against him have been unsuccessful, but their publicity campaign against the sheriff has had a divisive effect, polarizing Arizonians on each side of this controversy.
In fact, the Arizona law simply reinforces federal laws that are already on the books, but are currently being ignored. This started with the broken promise of The Simpson-Mazzoli Act of 1986. The act granted amnesty to 3 million illegal aliens while introducing enforcement measures against illegals and the employers who hire them. The amnesty provisions were enacted immediately, while the enforcement provisions were unfunded (deliberately?) and (intentionally?) unenforced.
A Rasmussen poll found that 71 percent of Arizonians support the new law, while 58 percent also believe the law may violate civil rights. The situation has become so desperate in the Southwest that Americans are willing to make a tradeoff. In this crisis, Americans will accept the possibility of violating civil rights in favor of enforcing the law. To most Arizonians, public safety trumps civil rights, especially for those who entered the domain of America's Constitution illegally. And rightfully so.
There is only one way to defeat the progressives. Traditional-Americans must make themselves greater victims than the progressives make out of the illegal aliens. As Michelle Malkin meticulously documented in her book Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals, and Other Foreign Menaces, crime rates have soared in enclaves where illegal aliens reside. Everyday our borders are invaded by an army of threats to our safety on all fronts, to include our school grounds. This, in addition to our continually-growing population that crowds our highways, our school rooms, and competes against American citizens for scarce resources such as social benefits.
More so than Health Care reform, progressives see this single issue as the tipping point on which to tear down traditional America once and for all. Health care reform will require four-to-ten years to fully institute, but granting amnesty to illegal aliens will have an immediate effect on our culture and in the ballot box.
Traditional-Americans (the new hyphenated term for America's newest class of victims) are the ones suffering from real discrimination. We are being discriminated against, and vilified for our value to the rule of law, sense of fairness (you wait your turn in line). These are the values to which we were brought up. It is time to now stand up and cry foul.
