For a review on Islamic fifth column activity in the United States, checking in on Dearborn, Michigan, is always worthwhile. Dearborn has one of the highest concentrations of Muslims in the nation, including many friends of the famous enemy of America, the late Ayatollah Khomeini.

Apparently patriotic assimilation to America remains in short supply within the “Religion of Peace” as a recent gathering revealed [Dearborn AntiWar Protest: 10,000 unite for Lebanon, Detroit Free Press, 7/19/06].

At one point, a speaker held a portrait of Hassan Nasrallah, Hizballah’s secretary-general. The crowd burst into applause.

Rana Abbas-Chami, deputy director of the Michigan Chapter of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, called Israel’s violence “appalling, unfathomable and unforgivable.”

“The sad reality is that the United States and Israel have decided that they are at liberty to determine the value of human life based on what side of the border you fall. The U.S. is just as guilty as Israel is. History will not forgive, nor will it ever forget, these crimes.”

These are the new, “diverse” immigrants we are supposed to celebrate.

Furthermore, the mythical “moderate Muslim” has a lot of popularity among the political pundit class, but few actually exist. They do not appear at rallies in support of America, and polling of Muslims living in America is similarly sobering [ Misunderstanding the Enemy, by Srdja Trifkovic, Chronicles Magazine, September 22, 2004].

In a survey of newly naturalized citizens, 90 percent of Muslim immigrants said that if there were a conflict between the United States and their country of origin, they would be inclined to support their country of origin. In Detroit 81 percent of Muslims “strongly agree” or “somewhat agree” that Shari’a should be the law of the land.

Remember that hundreds of illegal alien Lebanese were smuggled over the Mexican border (“some with connections to Hezbollah“) a couple years back by an industrious Tijuana restauranteur. That crime plus open borders generally makes it no surprise that the FBI is looking for sleeper cell killers awakened by the ongoing conflict in the Mideast.

Not that Dearborn is the only place where these people congregate.

There will be five fewer illegal aliens in American schools next week. Five fewer daily taxpayer- subsidized lunches and five fewer potential sob stories for the proponents of the DREAM ACT.

There will be five fewer reasons to build new schools, and five fewer reasons to hire Spanish speaking teachers. And eight fewer resentful illegal aliens demanding “civil rights” in America and eight fewer faces on camera for the next “March for Dignity and a path to citizenship”.

Because of a dog and the heroic work of our Customs and Border Patrol Agents.

Viva La Migra.

From KGBT -TV , serving the Rio Grande valley in Texas:

Customs and Border Patrol agents found eight people, including five children, hidden in the engine/baggage compartment of two chartered buses.

The buses were stopped at the Sarita checkpoint on Monday morning for an inspection. A canine alerted agents to the engine compartment.

When agents opened the side doors they found the illegal immigrants hidden in the baggage compartment.

Looking at this from the White House, the President might regard this as eight little defeats and eight fewer examples of “family values not stopping at the Rio Grande”.

But, he knows what the eight apprehended illegals know.

They will probably make it through on their next attempt.

I meant to post this earlier but I haven’t had a chance–sorry!

Final results in the Cynthia “I’m a Black Woman” McKinney re-election bid last night:

Johnson 27,082 or 44.5%

McKinney 28,518 or 46.9%

She did not manage to collect 50% of the vote which means a run-off election will take place on August 8th between Johnson and McKinney.

Also from Kathy Shaidle: This doesn’t seem to be a joke Swedish big wig says:

“We must be open and tolerant towards Islam and Muslims because when we become a minority, they will be so towards us.”

I hope no one tells Karl Rove about this theory, but maybe they already did. It seems to be the Republican party’s Hispanic outreach strategy.

More here, here, and if you’re legal Swedish immigrant, here.

From Russell Wardlow, more on Sweden, with a link to this video.

Also, Wardlow links to this cartoon, and invites you to play a few rounds of “Spot the Insane Assumptions About Nationhood.”

I always play “Spot The Statue Of Liberty.“ You wouldn’t expect to see her on the Mexican border, but she’s there.

Finally, from Wardlow again, a masterly takedown of National Review on immigration.
