The Bush Administration has recently announced a “comprehensive multi-year plan to secure America’s borders illegal migration. “They are calling it the “Secure Border Initiative ”.

I call it another stall while Bush fills his own nation with enough Mexicans so as to make it seem truly impossible to remove them from his “New America”.

Try not to say “yada - yada” after reading this excerpt…I couldn’t resist it.

“Despite our substantial progress, we still face a substantial problem. The ability of individuals to enter our country outside legal channels is a threat to our homeland security. Flagrant violation of our borders undercuts the rule of law, undermines our security, and imposes particular economic strains on our border communities,” said Secretary Chertoff.

While not many Americans who study the crisis created by the President’s unpunished procurement of Black Market labor for his criminal employer bosses regard the latest stall as any much more than empty rhetoric…apparently the Mexicans are concerned that sooner or later, Bush will be forced to honor his oath of office.

From El Universal in Mexico City:

Mexico said Thursday that it hopes the rights of immigrants will be respected as the United States implements a new plan to bolster border security.

The Foreign Relations Secretariat said in a statement that it will closely monitor the application of the Secure Border Initiative, announced Wednesday in Houston by U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff

I wait with a grin for the Mexican government’s reaction to The TRUE Enforcement and Border Security Act of 2005 from Congressmen Duncan Hunter (R-CA) and Virgil Goode (R-VA).

(These guys are getting warm here.)

I also note with smug satisfaction that it seems that each proposal from Congress aimed at accomplishing what the Constitution says should already be happening gets stronger than the last one.

TRUE Enforcement would:

• Mandate Verification of Worker Eligibility
• Punish Employers who Hire Illegal Aliens
• Track Aliens Who Cross Our Borders
• * Build the Border Fence

Remember the McKennedy amnesty?

What a difference six months has made…ehh?

I like the tone of the most recent one…but…when do we force Bush to enforce existing law by threatening to impeach him, guys?

That will drive the narco government in Mexico City even crazier.

Which should always be the meter on which the coming re-election “Secure America” bills are measured.

Here’s an old joke about the pitfalls of working with translators, for your entertainment pleasure:

Economics Joke #4: Incentive Incompatibility.

Jose robbed a bank and fled south across the Rio Grande, with the Texas Rangers in hot pursuit. They caught up with him in a small Mexican town; since Jose knew no English and none of them spoke Spanish, they found a local resident willing to act as translator, and began their questioning.

“Where did you hide the money?”

“The Gringos want to know where you hid the money.”

“Tell the Gringos I will never tell them.”

“Jose says he will never tell you.”

The rangers all cock their pistols and point them at Jose.

“Tell him that if he does not tell us where he hid the money, we will shoot him.”

“The Gringos say that if you do not tell them, they will shoot you.”

Jose begins to shake with fear.

“Tell the Gringos that I hid the money by the bridge over the river.”

“Jose says that he is not afraid to die.”

Joe Guzzardi is cited as an “immigration and visa expert” in Diane Alden’s important piece about the recent increase in H-1B visas approved by the Senate earlier this week.

Alden’s article, based in part on Joe’s VDARE.Com “Bill Gates Strongarms Senate into Selling Out American Jobs,” is an important summary of Congress’ continued disregard for America’s future.
