Immigration Redux

We've all talked quite a bit about the current immigration issues and problems. My husband [Erica--note I did NOT say hubby] gave me a lengthy article to read yesterday. It was 9 pages, but very worth reading. It was a speech given by Sen. Jeff Sessions to the Senate explaing a bit about what is actually in the Immigration Bill before the Senate. It can be found at:

I urge everyone to read this--the entire Senate Bill is over 600 pages long. How many Senators actually read and digested this bill before voting? At least after this speech, they had a pretty good idea what was in that bill. We should, too. Thank goodness the way the voting numbers went, the reconciliation will go more towards the House of Representatives Bill. But how much will it do to help the average American citizen? We are the ones who will be left holding the bag as we are overrun with hordes of "new" immigrants taking advantage of their previous illegal actions.

I remember not so many years ago when as a general rule, police officers were very well respected. Now, it seems more like a joke of a job. Who pays much heed to speeding laws? Who pays heed to immigration laws? Which laws will be thrown away next? While I think on the one hand we have too many laws, I am more unhappy about the lack of respect our society has for the law. Me included. Sigh. Excess laws + lack of enforcement of needed laws = disrespect for law, and leads to disrespect for those who symbolize the law. The breakdown continues in every aspect of society until we reach complete chaos.

If you think I am being alarmist...compare to inner city schools. The teacher etc. = the police of the larger world. Once the respect was gone, everything else went very quickly.

Is our culture and society to become an inner city schools type of land? Will chaos reign, or will liberty? They are opposites, not allies.

When the French rid themselves of the old guard[1700's] they quickly desended into utter chaos, and everyone was hurt but those who grabbed power and became the new rulers which became a dictatorship. That has been repeated all the world over in recent history. Wherever the respect for law goes, soon the rest of the country's organization follows until in very short time there is no order, and no liberty. Look at any of the modern dictators and you will see that pattern.

In order to keep liberty, we must keep order or laws--just laws, and the Immigration Bill [Senate version] does just te opposite. Spread the word!
