DC Declares War On States

Among the limited duties of the US Government enumerated in the federal Constitution is Article. IV. Section. 4. “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion.” However, for several decades now, the federal government in Washington, D.C., has shown great ambition and propensity to engage in activities to which it was never authorized, and to ignore those responsibilities with which it is specifically charged. The responsibility of the federal government to protect each State against invasion is a classic example of the latter.

Can anyone deny that the states on the US southern border (California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas) are being invaded by an ongoing onslaught of illegal aliens (many of whom are violent and dangerous criminals)? Somewhere between 12 and 30 million illegals now reside in the US. The entire country is feeling the effects of this invasion, but the Border States are literally under siege. And not only does the federal government do nothing to protect the states against this invasion, it actively wars against states such as Arizona when they attempt to protect themselves. Yes, I am saying it: the Washington, D.C., lawsuit against the State of Arizona’s immigration laws should be regarded as an act of war against the State of Arizona in particular, and against the states general in principle.

Please consider what Arizona and the other Border States are dealing with. According to published reports:

*In Los Angeles, 95% of all outstanding warrants for homicide in the first half of 2004 (which totaled 1,200 to 1,500) targeted illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (17,000) were for illegal aliens.

*Some private reports state that 83% of warrants for murder in Phoenix and 86% of warrants for murder in Albuquerque, New Mexico, are for illegal aliens. These reports cannot be verified, of course, because the feds discourage law enforcement agencies from releasing such statistics.

*At any given time, up to 75% of those on the most wanted list in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Albuquerque are illegal aliens.

*23% of all inmates in LA County detention centers are “deportable.”

*LA police estimate that violent gangs, such as MS-13 and 18th Street Gang, are “overwhelmingly” composed of illegal aliens.

To read one very enlightening testimony given before Congress by an expert on illegal immigration containing some of the above information (and much more), go here:

In addition, the Pew Hispanic Center (an organization friendly to all things Hispanic) reports that by 2007, “nearly one-quarter (24%) of all federal convictions” involve illegal aliens. And “among those sentenced for immigration offenses in 2007, 80% were Hispanic.” The PHC went on to report that illegal Hispanics “represented 29% of all federal offenders.”

See the report at:

http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=104

Remember, too, that illegal aliens murder (on average) 12 American citizens EVERY DAY in the United States. That means illegals murder more Americans EVERY YEAR than in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan COMBINED, TO DATE. Plus, illegal aliens who drive drunk kill an additional 13 Americans EVERY DAY.

See the following report:

At this point, I will not again chronicle the financial costs and job losses exacted upon the American taxpayers by these invading illegals, but I encourage you to read a previous column I wrote on this subject. See it here:

Plus, my web site contains an exhaustive page dealing with the problems and costs of the ongoing invasion by illegal aliens against this country. See it at:

Add to the above the blatant rhetoric and public statements of activists within radical Hispanic revolutionary groups such as La Raza that incessantly call for the “reconquista” of the southwestern United States, and one can easily discern that the invasion by (mostly) Mexicans in the US is much more than “poor people trying to find a better life.” There is some of that going on, of course, but the invasion also includes violent criminal gang members, drug dealers, human traffickers, rogue government troops, and covert provocateurs who are attempting to destabilize US cities and states, promote crime and violence, disrupt honest elections, and even facilitate revolution against the American citizenry.

And what does the Barack Obama administration do? Instead of obeying the Constitution and helping to protect the State of Arizona (and the other Border States), it sues the State of Arizona for trying to protect itself. Again, by this action, has not Washington, D.C., declared war against the State of Arizona (and, by implication, the other 49 independent, sovereign states)?

Please understand: Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and her allies in the Arizona legislature are not only defending their State, they are working to protect every State in the Union. Very obviously, the line is being drawn in the sand against a federal leviathan that increasingly shows blatant disregard for not only its own responsibilities and duties, but for the rights and freedoms of the individual sovereign states, and for the American citizenry as a whole.

And for those misguided Christians and pastors out there who are prone to defend and facilitate this invasion of illegal aliens in the name of Christian compassion, I would like to remind them of the words of our Lord, who said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.” (John 10:1 KJV) Thus, our Savior plainly categorizes illegal aliens (or anyone who refuses to enter through a door–or across a border–honestly) as thieves and robbers. Unfortunately, many are also rapists, murderers, violent drug dealers, and slave merchants.

If Barack Obama had even a smidgen of honesty and integrity, instead of attacking the people of the State of Arizona for simply trying to defend themselves against a very real and dangerous foreign invasion, he would take seriously his responsibility to help protect them against this invasion, which Article IV. Section. 4. of the US Constitution clearly requires him to do.

      The statistics used in this article are awesome! A deluge of criminal illegal aliens invading the land is awesomely contemptible! Perhaps the only objectionable part of the article is when passages in the Bible are used to demonize a Mexican illegal alien who according to the Holy Scripture “…does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way …” and who is then Jesus Christ compared to “a thief and a robber.”

      The metaphor was quite misused because those passages refer to false pretenders posing as prophets that lead the innocent [paraphrased as Lambs of God] the wrong way.   In order to hate illegal aliens coming to this country through the back door for a particular purpose, we do not need to throw the Holy Book on them just to prove we are right to hate them, unless we need a donation from those whose feelings we set on fire [see the bottom of the article].

       It would have been an enlightening debate on Washington, D.C.’s alleged declaration of war against Arizona in particular, and against the rest of the States in general. However, those exchanges are marred by the foul language used that ends up in name-calling. Uncontrolled emotion stepped out of line. Written flying missiles were launched from personal animosities not really fit for print in this forum.

Chuck Baldwin isn't a neocon.  He's the presidential candidate Ron Paul endorsed after he withdrew from the race, making him a libertarian leaning Republican.  Baldwin is a pastor, so it's no surprise he refers to the Bible and Christian themes in his articles.  He's a good man that writes the brutal honest truth.

Justin Roberts;

 It is obvious that you are a far left idiot. There is nothing racist about Mr. Baldwins comments, He speaks the truth and it is a sad truth. I have friends who are illegals who work everyday but the majority are criminals. They are actually all criminals. You go to Mexico illegally and you get 2 years first offense, now 2 years in a mexican jail is worse then 10 years in an american jail. I do believe we should make it easier for them to come here legally but untill the american people are all working we dont need them here. The only reason the left wants to give them amnesty is so they can get there votes because that is the only way the left will ever win another election. The United States can not support the whole world. We are the greatest Nation on this earth. We do more for the poor and needy then any other country in the world. BUT YOU NEED TO COME HERE LEGALLY. Our present Government is trying to destroy this country, They want to take away our money and give it to the people who dont want to work or get an education so they can get a decent job. You are a Traitor to this country and should leave immediatly

1 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.

Context, motherfucker. The story was about false prophets, not Mexicans. I can pick phrases out of a smelly old book and use them to justify violence too. Or I can use reason and respect for myself and others to find ways to solve my problems without violence.

Must we reprint articles by dipshit neo-cons designed to manipulate religious people into following their evil murderous regimes? Do you all *want* to be subjugated by people like this, or is it just animal instinct?
