Senator Barack Obama voted for the June 2007
immigration amnesty that would have doubled current immigration levels to two
million annually. He voted for complete
amnesty for in excess of 20 million illegal aliens. He voted for the Dream Act that took hundreds
of millions of dollars out of the hands of black American college kids' hands—
only to give it to illegal alien students. Fortunately, senators under enormous pressure
from American voters – defeated both bills, over and over again.
What's the problem here?
Barack Obama represents the best of
African-Americans. Yet, he fails black
America miserably! He stands in favor of
flooding this country with lower wage labor that destroys any chance for
African-Americans to gain a living wage.
What happens from his actions – as well as those of
white politicians?
On Friday, January 18, 2008, Denver Rocky Mountain
News journalist Tillie Fong reported, "Homeless given shelter from bitter cold." A picture showed 95 percent of the
homeless as Black Coloradan Americans on their way to the shelter.
National figures show over 1.1 million homeless on
our streets at any one moment in America. Over 13 million American minority children
live below the poverty level.
So, why won't Obama and white politicians address the
fact that – in many areas of America, 50 percent of Black Americans cannot find
a job? More troubling, 40 to 50 percent
of black students fail to graduate from high school – depending on state to
state statistics. As their family units
break down, 50 percent suffer out-of-wedlock birth rates?
Painful economic dead ends
That dilemma drives more black Americans into welfare
rolls, soup kitchens and homeless shelters. It places their children into survival mode
of drugs, violence and economic dead ends.
Barbara Coe, of www.ccir.net in California, sent me a distressing notice last week concerning
African-Americans.
It read, "In many areas of the country, male
African-American unemployment hovers around fifty percent. Many black voters, who have the most to lose,
support illegal aliens. Many black
politicians support massive immigration and amnesty for illegal aliens even
though mass unskilled immigration has dramatic impact on their constituents. While many black families live in
poverty throughout America, black politicians are eager to import more poor
people who will compete head-to-head for jobs at the lower end of the economic
scale.
"African-Americans are getting hosed by their own
politicians on a grand scale.
"Legal and illegal immigration has undercut blacks
from the jobs they once held in meat plants, service industries and on
construction crews. In many cases those
were union jobs that paid good wages with full benefits. Now those jobs go to illegal aliens who work
for pennies above the minimum wage.
"Yet from black politicians nary a peep is
heard.
"One explanation is that many black politicians are
wealthy and couldn't care less about the working stiff. Having to compete for jobs with some 30
million illegal aliens is something few black politicians will be faced with –
but millions of black and low income Americans will."
Why do George Bush and Congress support 572,000
troops on 700 bases in 120 countries around the world that cost U.S. taxpayers
over $1 trillion annually— but neglect American citizens as collateral damage
inside our own country?
Ask yourself why Bush and many in Congress supported
an immigration bill that doubled current legal immigration from one to two
million annually? Ask yourself why our
Congress and Executive Branch secretly advocate for more-and-more "undocumented
immigrants" as they encourage taxpayers to pay one trillion dollars per year for
primary, secondary and tertiary "fringe benefits" – while the 20 million
fully-employed illegal aliens are paid $1.7 BIL per year, much of which is in cash.
Why do our leaders flood this country with tens of
millions of low wage workers when our own citizens hang in the balance? Why prop up Iraq with $2 billion spent weekly
for a country that doesn't want us on their soil? Why do we do it without end – while our
citizens suffer terrific hardship within our own country?
The irony brings me back to Dr. Martin Luther King's
quote!
"Our lives begin to
endthe day we become silent about things
that matter."

Why would Obama ignore the most vulnerable Americans?
Why do Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson say nothing and
do nothing about unrelenting, unending immigration? What about Dingell, Jefferson, Young and
other Black leaders twiddling their thumbs while their constituents languish in
soup kitchens, homeless shelters or cardboard boxes under bridges – even as you
read this column?
Patriots; Terry Anderson and Ted Hayes
Two great African-Americans stand up where Obama
retreats. Talk show host Terry Anderson
and political candidate Ted Hayes in Los Angeles, California speak Truth to
black Americans on what they face from the Mexican invasion.
For the past several years, Hayes, a 56-year-old lean
and lanky activist, has inspired blacks against illegal immigration with fiery
appearances on national TV, protest marches, civil disobedience and leadership
of Choose Black America, an anti-illegal immigration organization launched and
financially supported by the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
"Illegal immigration
is the greatest threat to blacks since slavery," Hayes declared at a recent Choose Black America meeting in Inglewood, CA. "Immigrants got our jobs, the hospitals, the
schools. Black folks can't compete."
If we continue flooding our country with the poor of
other countries, we'll mushroom the juggernaut of poor in our nation. If we continue ignoring poor Americans while
we meddle in other countries' business— we fail the original intent of our
founders of this Constitutional Republic.
One last thought!
The USA is
not the lifeboat for all nations. If we
continue adding the poor of other countries, at some point, they grow old here
without any means of supporting themselves— which will create a whole new form
of class poverty. It will prove
intractable and unsolvable – beyond soup kitchens, homeless shelters and boxes
under bridges.
Listen, gentle
readers! Something grows horribly wrong
with our fragile sovereign Republic – the United States of America.
