THE WHITE FLAG IS FLUTTERING……AGAIN, COMPLIMENTS OF THE PARTY OF IRRELEVENCE (POI)
A reply to Ark. Congressman Steve Womack’s stance on illegal immigration accompanied by a snippet pertaining to Rep. House Speaker John Boehner and Alan Birsin, Assistant Secretary of Affairs & Chief Diplomatic officer at DHS:
Congressman Womack, January 2, 2014 789
I will dispense with the formality usually attributed to a congressional delegate. The issue is much too grave and the divide between Fort Smith, Arkansas and Washington, DC far too distant for political bantering.
I do thank you for the attached missive even though it appears to have been written by one of your plebes.
Your email begins by stating our immigration system is in shambles. Of course, the reason being is the fact that you and those who have preceded have refused to adhere to your/their sworn Constitutional obligations, in this case, the enforcement of 8 USC and its subsections which would have prevented the illegal Mexican & OTM invasions, and in so doing have created a 3rd World U.S. human dumping ground…in the same sentence the writer under your name proclaims in government talking points the lie that there are “only 11 million illegals†in our republic. Steve, show me the genesis of that number. You and/or the writer fail to disseminate that if & when some form of amnesty is conferred; these heretofore illegal nesters could/would bring in their immediate families from their respective homelands and would/will number in millions, accompanied by continuing waves of illegals. Question: Steve, why is it you are willing to allow our republic to be overwhelmed by continued illegal 3rd World invasions? Citizens readily understand that the Founding white population will soon become a minority in our own country due to the GOP’s lack of courage and begs the question, why are you & the GOP so willing to trade down? The illegal 3rd world interlopers are devoid of accomplishments in the arts & sciences, education, technology, etc. Are you so engrossed in self-service that you are willing, by your vote, to forsake our once preeminent republic and turn it into a band of assorted races, religions, and nationalities, united only by their presence in the same land and no native culture to provide unity? Trading down is not the mark of an intelligent society.
There is no such thing as a multi-cultural utopia.
Your referencing H.R. 2278, the SAFE ACT “renews our commitment to interior enforcement efforts and increases security measures to the entry of criminal immigrantsâ€. When, in recent history (100 yrs) has there been a commitment to secure our national borders??? Answer: never. Steve, you have some military experience; therefore you obviously know the only way to secure our borders is with a military commitment. That’s where the military should be instead of spread all over the planet attempting to generate U.S. global hegemony. Acquaint yourself with Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution. When has any border state been protected from invasion in our lifetime? You and your colleagues, as an excuse not to secure U.S. borders only speak in terms of cost. We have a military presence in 150 countries, subsidizing NATO which should have been dissolved in the 50’s, securing any number of foreign national borders, and so on. You do get the picture don’t you?
H.R. 1772—Doublespeak Congressman? Your quote, “but it protects our businesses to use the system in good faith from being prosecuted.†Another cowardly sell-out. What you are saying is you do not have the political will or courage to spell out the details. H.R. 1772 will continue to allow businesses to retain their illegal workforce and advertise for more, e.g. Tyson’s/Mexico. You hail from NW Arkansas, the epicenter of illegal immigration, yet nothing but silence. You, like the Republican leadership, have lost the will to fight, indicating no fealty to the Constitution. Your sole congressional thrusts seem to be a oriented toward the implementation of an internet sales tax , while continuing to support the phony wars on terrorism….13 years in Afghanistan & Iraq—for what?
What about the illegals who are already here and working? How about enforcing the laws already on the books and begin prosecuting those businesses which currently have illegals in their employ, e.g. Tyson’s, et al?
What does “gaining operational control of our borders†mean?
You say you are “unapologetically opposed to unconditional amnestyâ€. Are you for total removal of those now in this country illegally or conditional amnesty? There is then the Anchor Baby paradigm, what are your proposals in this matter?
We know the Iranians have been crossing the SW border for decades. If they have formed “terrorist cells†why allow them to stay on conditional basis?
What are you proposing to do with 8 USC, Sections 1325, 1324a, 1324c, & 1644, which is beautiful legislation and all it needs is enforcement?
Why does there have to be so many pieces of proposed legislation to deal with such a straightforward issue? Don’t you understand the legislation is already in place?

P.S. Again, what possible rational basis do you have that would allow you to vote for conferring amnesty (by any means) on 25-35 million illegal Mexicans & OTM’s (not the 11 million lie espoused by government)? Political fear?
MORE PROOF OF REPUBLICAN COMPLICITY IN THE MOVE TO CONFER AMNESTY TO 25-35 ILLEGAL MEXICANS & OTM’S—
1. REPUBLICAN HOUSE SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER (R-OH) JUST HIRED A PRO-AMNESTY ADVISOR.
2. ALAN BIRSIN, CHIEF DIPLOMATIC OFFICER AT DHS, KEYNOTE SPEAKER AT A DC MEETING COMPRISED OF THE U.S./MEXICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, MADE THIS STATEMENT “THE GUATEMALAN BORDER WITH CHIAPAS (SOUTHERNMOST STATE OF MEXICO IS NOW THE UNITED STATES’ SOUTHERN BORDERâ€.
WHO IS STANDING VIGILANT OVER MIDDLECLASS AMERICANS?

Dear Mr. McCutchen,
Thank you for contacting me to express your thoughts on immigration reform. It is good to hear from you.
As you know, our immigration system is in shambles. We have an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in our country, a porous border, and a visa system that fails to meet the needs of American companies.
In an attempt to address these problems, the Senate passed S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act. I have numerous concerns with this bill, from its treatment of criminal aliens to the invitation of potential fraud and lack of firm border protection. Additionally, the bill has weak enforcement of border security triggers – made to be executed before the legalization of current illegal immigrants – which could leave much discretion to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
It is unlikely the House will take up S. 744. Instead, the House is expected to address these issues this fall when it considers a collection of the following four bills.
First, H.R. 2278, the Strengthen and Fortify Enforcement (SAFE) Act, renews our commitment to interior enforcement efforts and increases security measures to deter the entry of criminal immigrants or those who pose security risks to our nation. Second, H.R. 1772, the Legal Workforce Act, makes E-Verify mandatory for new hires, but it protects our businesses that use the system in good faith from being prosecuted, an important safe harbor provision. Next, H.R. 1773, the Agricultural Guestworker (AG) Act, works to streamline the H-2A guestworker programs, eliminating onerous requirements that have contributed to illegally overstaying visas. It also creates more certainty with legal and wage-related matters. Finally, H.R. 2131, the Supplying Knowledge Based Immigrants and Lifting Levels of STEM Visas (SKILLS) Act, replaces certain visa programs that are not as useful today with those programs that will help our economy and make our country more competitive in the global marketplace. It increases Green Cards for STEM graduates, provides visas for entrepreneurs who will create employment opportunities here, strengthens the investor green card program, and eliminates some arbitrary caps tied to countries of origin, among other things.
All these bills were approved by the House Judiciary Committee in June, and they are now awaiting consideration by the full House.
Additionally, the House Homeland Security Committee approved H.R. 1417, the Border Security Results Act, in June. This will require the Department of Homeland Security to gain operational control of our borders and report these metrics to Congress.
Like many of my constituents, I am unapologetically opposed to unconditional amnesty. To me, it is fundamentally unfair to reward those adults who came here illegally by guaranteeing them citizenship or putting them in front of those trying to come here legally.
We have left these issues undone for far too long, and I am looking forward to considering this legislation in the 113th Congress.
Thank you again for contacting me. Please continue to keep me informed of the issues important to you and be sure to visit my website, www.womack.house.gov, for more information and to sign up for my newsletter.
Sincerely,
Congressman Steve Womack
Member of Congress
