This is a very well written and factual account of the illegal immigrant situation. With one minor exception, I totally agree with the author. Like most of my retired and active duty military friends, I firmly believe in keeping the powder dry, under this administration, and with the weak congress and senate, you never know when you may need it!

As a teacher, I sat dumbfounded last May 16, 2005, when the Rocky
Mountain News inked a story, "What Happened?" to a stunned Denver,
Colorado audience. In a five year study starting in 1999 in Denver
Public Schools, 5,663 students started the eighth grade. Five years
later, only 1,884 graduated from high school. That's a 65 percent drop
out/flunk out rate! That's pathetic, if not frightening.
What was the cause? First of all, 30,000 illegal aliens, speaking
40 different languages, attended Denver schools. Our classrooms
suffered thousands of kids functionally illiterate in English with parents
functionally illiterate in English and Spanish. The classrooms featured
so much incompatible diversity that it created horrific tension,
stabbings and death.
Thus, American kids suffered a profoundly dumbed-down educational
process. One in five teachers quit or transferred out of those Denver
classrooms every nine month cycle during those five years.
Last week, the Denver Post announced that 30 percent of teachers
in Denver schools were not coming back next year. This is a
nationwide travesty. Why? As a teacher, I taught in the inner city in the
1970s.It's exasperating beyond understanding to walk into a classroom where
children suffer learning disabilities, broken homes, teen pregnancies at 14, 15, 16, multiple languages and violent confrontations with other ethnic groups.
It's impossible to teach. I left my idealism in the ghetto and
escaped to a suburban school. But, today, teachers can't escape
because over 1.5 million illegal alien students with more than 100 languages attend
our kids' schools nationwide. We witness a national breakdown in education. Last
week, Superintendent Roy Romer of Los Angeles public schools resigned in frustration and defeat. California schools match the violence of a war zone.
Can you imagine such a failure rate across the country? Can you imagine the consequences of an illiterate generation leading this Republic into
>>> the 21st century? Folks, this country won't make it. Where is the
outrage?
It takes four aspects for a free and democratic society to maintain itself. It requires a highly educated population that can write, read, think and vote intelligently. It takes a similar moral code whereby everyone adheres to the common good. It requires a similar code of ethics whereby citizens adhere to honesty, doing what is right and
maintaining those ethics throughout the social fabric. Finally, it takes a similar
language that allows citizens to discuss, debate and resolve problems. We compromise all four with an invasion exceeding four million new people
into the USA annually 20 million illegals to date and climbing. We allow the disintegration of our nation without a whimper. Where is the outrage
Last Monday, February 20, 2006, the Rocky Mountain News reported,
Mile-High Drug Hub" making Denver the leading center for drug distribution in the United States. It's part of MS-13 Gang's dispersal of $128 billion in drugs crossing our border with Mexico every year. Ironically, Congress guards South Korea's border with 37,000 troops with our billions in tax dollars, pats down gray-haired ladies at our
airports, spends $80 billion annually on the war on drugs, but leaves our border
unguarded allowing that $128 billion in drugs to cross year after year. Additionally, terrorists from any country can walk over the Mexican border with a 99 percent
chance of succeeding. Where is the outrage?
With a growing illegal alien population exceeding 300,000 in Colorado, the state House legislators on Wednesday of last week defeated six bills to stop illegal alien migration. One particular bill, HB 1134, would have given cops the ability to arrest, detain and deport illegals. It was soundly defeated after dozens of citizens, including this Coloradan, testified to support the bill's passage.
I demanded, "We are tired of being collateral damage for illegal aliens. We're tired of being raped, killed, robbed and our schools being trashed by multiple languages while our medical systems take better care of illegals than our own citizens."
Representative Francesca Natividad Coleman remarked that it was a Federal issue. I retorted, "We're the ones getting killed and raped here locally and we're tired of it." Last year, three Coloradans were killed by illegals; Greeley, Colorado suffered 270 hit and run car accidents alone; eight rapes by illegal aliens in Boulder and thousands of
robberies. Where is the outrage?
To top off the crisis in our Denver schools, the Rocky Mountain News reported the next day, February 21, 2006, "Welfare Surges 45%" with an increase of 4,743 cases. They said it was tough job hunting, but neglected to mention that 300,000 illegal aliens in Colorado stole jobs from Coloradans in every sector: drywall, construction, landscaping, fast food, house painting, janitorial, paving and dozens of other
jobs formerly worked by Coloradans. Where is the outrage?
Denver Mayor Hickenlooper hired illegal aliens long before he was mayor and one of his illegal employees, Raul Gomez-Garcia, killed Denver police officer Don Young last May. Hickenlooper stood in direct violation of federal laws and could have been fined $2, 000.00 per illegal alien hired (estimated at 70 working in his restaurants) and he could have gone to prison for five years. Governor Owens actually endorsed a booklet
showing illegal aliens how to imbed themselves in Colorado. He aided and abetted illegal aliens, but didn't receive a slap on the wrist. Where is the outrage?
Since it's happening in my state with 300,000 illegal aliens, can you imagine what is happening in California with three million? Or, North Carolina with one million? How about Illinois with one million illegals? How about Texas with 1.5 million? I know Texans pay over $4.1 billion annually for educating their massive load of student illegals. Where is the outrage?
We're being colonized with over nine million illegal alien Mexicans crashing our schools, medical systems, language, culture, parks, tax and welfare systems. One look at the headlines of major newspapers across the country echoes and mirrors the Rocky Mountain News. Where is the outrage?
It stupefies me beyond comprehension that Americans sit back and watch this invasion of their country without any outrage. Worse, without an response! More than that--without a concern for their own kids' future! Even more horrific, the line of immigrants from Mexico (and the world) shows no sign of stopping, as the number of Mexicans grows from their current 106 million to 200 million in this century.
As I open this can of worms weekly; as I expose this accelerating national crisis weekly; as you experience its quickening day by day? I would think the outrage would reach fantastic levels. But it is not! In fact, Bush, Congress and governors of all 50 states? not only watch it happen they actively aid and abet it. Arlan Specter of Pennsylvania wants to add another one to two million legal immigrants annually.
Senators John McCain and Ted Kennedy want to give amnesty to 20 million illegals
and add more in a guest worker program. Utah's Chris Cannon welcomes millions of
Mexicans as he encourages their takeover of our country. His sidekick Senator Orrin Hatch mirrors that sentiment. Representative Joe Baca of California actively promotes the takeover of California by Mexico as he endorses "Reconquista of Aztlan." As Mark Twain said, "Suppose you were an idiot; and suppose you were a member of Congress; but then, I repeat myself." Twain got it right, but where is the outrage?
While 85 to 95 percent of the American public wants our borders secured, they stand around quietly sucking their thumbs while doing nothing. However, the outrage and arrogance of millions of illegal alien migrants in America advances like Paris, France's recent experience with immigration? 10,000 fire bombed cars and a month-long
conflagration! We watched stupidly as if it won't happen to us. Think again!
Of the thousands of emails I receive, the worst and the most frightening ones are from citizens who tell me, "Keep your powder dry!"
