Failed Leadership, on the Eve of Bad Immigration Policy

Tonight in just a few minutes, the President of the United States will address the American people on illegal immigration issues. I am fascinated on what the President has to offer because so far, George W. has failed America on illegal immigrants.

Offering amnesty to millions of illegals out of political correctness or the potential wooing of a future electorate is a failed policy that falls far short of citizens that are already voters by natural birth or by earned naturalization.

I am still a President Bush fan, but I cannot defend him on many of his public statements and hints toward public policy on illegal immigrants. Illegal immigration has played into the hand of a minority of radical hispanics who come to America not to better themselves, but rather to energize a "Reconquista" of the American Southwest. For these Reconquistas illegal immigration is about flooding America with a Latino counter-culture that will overrun American roots.

The Reconquista is about anti-assimilation. Assimilation has been the cornerstone of immigration to America. America's great melting pot of many has become one english speaking nation. To disregard the American heritage by imposing spanish or arabic as alternative languages to accomodate those that refuse assimilation is a travesty.

I received an email from Steven Voigt, a conservative Christian lawyer. He has an eloquent opinion on illegal immigration.

An Open Letter to America About Failed Leadership, on the Eve of Bad Immigration Policy
PHILADELPHIA, May 14 /Christian Newswire/ The following is an open letter from Steven T. Voigt, Foundations of Law PAC Executive Director:

Dear Fellow Americans,

On the eve of the President’s speech on illegal immigration and facing the imminent reincarnation of the Senate’s three-tiered amnesty proposal, I write to you again on this important issue. Illegal immigration is indeed the topic of the day, but illegal immigration is but a symptom of the greater issue we face – a crisis of failed leadership on both sides of the aisle in the Senate.

We are a good-hearted and trusting people. Only a few short years ago, as the seat of power of Congress and the White House changed hands, we looked to the future as one of promise. We lifted our heads to the horizon with optimism.

We believed that – at long last – America was on the right path, and we trusted in our elected leaders to take us down the road with humble confidence. Our leaders would surely stand tall for our nation. They would protect the Constitution. They would fight for traditional family values. They would lessen government bureaucracy and allow capitalism to shine. They would curtail the overreaching judiciary and take legislative decisions out of the courtroom and return them to our communities. They would uphold the rule of law, and they would protect our sovereignty. They would rally the international community behind our leadership. The future was indeed bright.

Today, through nothing we have done except to trust in the ballot box, we find ourselves betrayed – and mired in much the same spot as we stood several years ago, with dark clouds shrouding the horizon that we once gazed on with such promise. Our optimism of years past is muted, and we are left with frustration and disappointment in our leaders.

Friends, mediocrity may be fine in some parts of the world – but not here in ...
