Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff described anti-amnesty Americans as being satisfied with nothing less than “the death penalty” for illegal aliens and recently warned of “some unhappy consequences” unless illegal aliens were granted amnesty. Yes, that Michael Chertoff — the guy in charge of keeping us safe from foreign invasions.
So it was curious when we were treated this week to a weeping Mexican woman on TV, claiming the U.S. government was tearing her from her infant son and saying she knew the American people would be outraged if she were deported. (I note that her message might have been more effective in English.)
Admittedly, I’d just as soon have Homeland Security focusing on illegal immigrants like the one who shot four promising college kids execution style in Newark, killing three of them, possibly after sexually molesting two of them. Heck, I wouldn’t have minded if they had deported illegal alien Jose Carranza even before his girlfriend accused him of raping her 5-year-old daughter.
Or perhaps the INS could have deported Ruben Hernandez-Juarez, an illegal alien charged with sexually molesting a 6-year-old boy in Martin County, Fla.
Or Alejandro Bautista, an illegal alien in Cook County, Ill., who was convicted for sexually molesting two teenaged boys.
Or Alejandro Xuya-Sian, the illegal alien who hit a pedestrian with his car in New York and dragged him for nearly a mile before dislodging the victim from his car, throwing him aside and driving off again. (Even more disturbing: Xuya-Sian may not have been wearing his seat belt at the time.)
Or illegal alien Alberto Barajas-Enriquez, who is charged with beating his Michigan neighbor to death with a golf club because the neighbor complained about the constant barking of Enriquez’s dog.
Or Lucio Sanchez-Martinez, the illegal alien in Ohio charged with sexually molesting a sleeping 8-year-old girl.
For simplicity, I have limited my enumeration of illegal aliens who were charged or convicted of heinous crimes just last week. (For illegal aliens charged with child molestation, I had to further limit the time-span to only two days last week or I might exceed my word limit.)
Still, if Elvira Arellano is the best they’ve got to leave the public weeping over the plight of illegal aliens, don’t expect public opinion to change anytime soon.
Arellano has already snuck into the country illegally twice (that we know of). After being deported in 1999 — under the Clinton administration which was, astonishingly, more serious about enforcing immigration law than the Bush administration — she illegally ran across the border again a few days later.
After 9/11, was she was arrested and convicted for using a stolen Social Security number to get a job as a cleaning woman at an airport. In lieu of jail time, Arellano was to be deported. Instead, she took refuge in a left-wing “church” and began to bellyache about being thrown out again.
Despite living in this country illegally for a decade, Arellano hasn’t mastered the most rudimentary English. She doesn’t want to assimilate and become a “Mexican-American.” She wants to be a Mexican-Mexican living in and off America.
So far, the only thing Arellano has contributed to America is one illegitimate child.
Arellano is part of the advance wave of left-wing, Third World colonization of America. Democrats claim there are “two Americas.” If they have their way, there will be two Latin Americas.
Liberals know they’re losing the demographic war. Christians have lots of children and adopt lots of children; liberals abort children and encourage the gay lifestyle in anyone with a flair for color.
They can’t keep up.
Population expert Nick Eberstadt recently speculated in The Washington Post that a principal reason for America’s high fertility rate compared to Europe’s is its religiosity. Well, that leaves liberals out.
The Democratic Party is in the fight of its life against a conservative demographic tsunami. Its only hope is to make the poorest half of Mexico voting American citizens. To liberals, building a wall across the Mexican border is a violation of the Voting Rights Act. Only a massive influx of criminals, welfare recipients and perpetual protesters can save them.
This is why Democrats are obsessed with giving two groups the right to vote: illegal aliens and felons. With Arellano, they get two for the price of one.
Democrats are counting on illegal immigrants to be the future of their party, the vanguard of the new socialist state. At least liberals have a clear mission and know what they’re fighting for. Their plan is to destroy America.
Karl Rove’s response is: “I don’t want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas.”
Americans say: Arellano can go, and take her kid with her.
