Trump trip to Mexico a diplomatic coup

From our Readers

As an undecided voter, I watched Donald Trump’s speech in Phoenix following his trip to visit Mexico’s President Enrique Pena Nieto. I think he made several valid arguments in regard to Illegal aliens in the United States. Mr. Trump discussed our government’s refusal to deport criminal aliens, its support for sanctuary cities, the promotion of widespread amnesty and the issue of turning a blind eye to Americans losing their jobs to illegal aliens who are driving down wages for everyone.

Interestingly enough, Democrat Hillary Clinton that night readied a TV ad criticizing Mr. Trump’s visit to Mexico, saying he had failed in his first attempt at diplomacy. But who really failed diplomacy? Donald Trump, who accepted President Nieto’s invitation to discuss the most serious issue dividing our two nations, or Hillary Clinton, who spurned that invitation?

Letter: Investigate firms hiring illegals
September 5, 2016

A lot of attention has been directed toward methods to decrease illegal immigration. What would the impact on illegal immigration be if we investigated the companies which are suspected of hiring illegal immigrants and enforced existing employment laws?

Schickedanz: Organ wilderness adds to border danger

Jerry G. Schickedanz - September 3, 2016

Recently, I read in the Las Cruces Sun-News that the international border fence along the railroad tracks at Sunland Park was not adequate and needed to be replaced by a higher and stronger fence. The current chain-link fence had holes and people could cross without difficulty.

What about the border fence as you go west from El Paso? Is it adequate to keep drug couriers and illegal immigrants from crossing? The border fence degrades into just a barbwire fence that may or may not even keep cattle from going back and forth across the international border.

Homeland Security personnel report that the border is safe and secure, apprehensions are down, so the border must be safe. It is not safe just because they tell us it is safe.

They answer to the president, who has said the border is safe, and do you think they are going to go against their boss and tell you the truth? They all want to keep their jobs and get promoted.

Ranchers along the border will tell me that there are all kinds of traffic crossing with drugs and people. There are ultra-light airplanes dropping drugs at night. They fly to sidewalk solar powered lights placed in remote areas to make the drops for pickup.

A rancher has found numerous abandoned carpet booties that go over shoes to make tracking more difficult.

A party of several illegal immigrants was left in the desert by their guide and they camped on a high spot for the night. An armed and masked man came to their camp and stayed all night, but would not talk to them and he left in the early morning. They were terrified and turned themselves into the first law enforcement officer they encountered.

The list can go on and on. This activity is occurring right now in the Organ Mountain Desert Peaks National Monument.

Currently, the sheriff and Border Patrol can do routine patrols on roads, routes and ways in the national monument and Wilderness Study Areas.

They can use 72 miles of routes that the Bureau of Land Management has recorded and allow to be used under the “non-impairment” clause of managing Wilderness Study Areas. However, if these same lands are designated by Congress to become wilderness, these same 72 miles of routes will be off limits for routine patrol by law enforcement, ranchers, hunters and visitors to the national monument.

The Organ Mountain Desert Peaks National Monument will become even less safe for the people who live within the monument and for visitors.

Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich have introduced the Organ Mountains Desert Peaks Conservation Act which, if passed by Congress, will designate 241,067 acres along and near the international border to become wilderness.

This will create the same problems that Arizona has with their wilderness along the border of illegal crossing and not being able to do routine patrols in the wilderness designations.

Currently, the border lands are not safe and secure and will become more dangerous if this bill is passed by Congress.

Jerry G. Schickedanz is a distinguished chair of the Linebery Natural Resource Policy Center.

Promised transparency is not practiced

Promised transparency is not practiced

Rep. Mark Pocan (D-2nd) wrote in The Capital Times on Aug. 23 that Hillary Clinton belongs in the White House because she would create 10 million jobs during her first term.

What he doesn’t mention is that like him, Clinton supports the doubling of annual legal immigration and guest workers to 2 million each plus amnesty for 11 million illegal aliens. Pocan co-sponsored the House version of the 2013 Senate amnesty bill that the Congressional Budget Office said would have resulted in 33 million new foreign workers and continued depressed wages in just the first 10 years. My limited grasp of mathematics tells me Clinton would have a lot of explaining to do to the remaining 23 million new foreign workers added to our already bloated labor pool.

Pocan supporters also should know that on June 8 he and 41 other House members sent a letter to the IRS asking that it hide from organizations like NumbersUSA the voting records of members of Congress, most notably those dealing with immigration.

Mr. Pocan is part of what President Obama promised would be the “most transparent” administration in United States history. Why would he want to keep his voting record hidden?

Curb radical Islam

By Roger L. Eden
Martinez
Friday, Sept. 2, 2016

Zia Rehman’s July 23 letter to the editor (“Put Sharia in perspective”) was, I think, a masterpiece of taqiyah, the deceptive practice of concealing one’s religion.

Under Sharia law, there is no true freedom of religion, speech, the press, thought or creative artistic expression. There is a double standard: one for Muslim men, and another for women and nonbelievers. Equal rights do not apply to women. In some countries, they must submit to female genital mutilation. Their testimony in court is equal to half that of a male witness. In cases of inheritance, a woman is entitled to half that of a male. If a woman is raped, under an Islamic-law court she must present four witnesses to successfully convict the rapist.

There are no Islamic countries that practice democracy in the same way as the United States. I think Islam and democracy are mutually incompatible. Under a true democracy, a Muslim and a non-Muslim are considered to be equals. Not so under Sharia law. According to some Muslim believers, the U.S. Constitution is superseded by Sharia law, as the Constitution was conceived by man and must yield precedence to Sharia, which some Muslims believe is the sacred law of Allah.

We have two congressmen and several other federal employees who are practicing Muslims. I think they should not have been allowed to fill their respective offices, because to do so, they had to swear an oath to uphold the Constitution. The fact that they did so is, in my opinion, further evidence of the practice of taqiyah. Sharia law is advocated by many educated Muslims all over the world. Many of the proponents of Sharia law in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden and elsewhere are extremely well-educated. Osama bin Laden and his 9/11 homicide bombers are good examples of this.

I think immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries should not be allowed into the United States, except for those who wish to assimilate and become loyal citizens, thankful for the opportunity to improve their lot and to be a blessing to the United States – not to commit heinous, barbaric acts of terrorism. I believe Sharia law already has taken root in some parts of Michigan, Texas and New Jersey.

Our leaders at every level of authority must get off their politically correct butts and put a stop to all this before it is too late. May God bless America in spite of herself!

Letter: Sheriff is a hero doing a necessary job

Sheriff is a hero doing a necessary job

To the editor:

On Sunday, Aug. 28 The Eagle printed a Washington Post editorial demeaning Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He is a hero doing his job in protecting our border since our federal government under Barack Obama has decided not to uphold the laws they swore to uphold. Does the editorial suggest the sheriff just turn a blind eye?

We need more Sheriff Arpaios here. Maybe then our sanctuary city of Springfield will also uphold our immigration laws. They call him a "profiler." Profiling has always been a key element of policing. If you are looking for criminal elves, you don't spend your time checking out elderly grandmothers. I bet the majority of illegal Mexicans pulled over had other things that would lead one to think that they were illegals. Things like stolen plates, erratic driving and too many passengers.

I pray that day does not come where our open border allows a terrorist cell to enter with a weapon of mass destruction. Then you would wish that we had more dedicated public servants like Sheriff Arpaio.

Letter: On illegal immigration, punish the right people

Sept. 02, 2016

David Maybry

Memphis

As the issue of illegal immigrants takes front page in our news and with our politicians, it’s necessary to note the hypocrisy involved in this matter (“To build a wall?” Sept. 1 article).

Yes, as so many point out with much vigor, these people are breaking our laws. However, there is another group of people breaking the law that no one is talking about: the “law-abiding” people and businesses that hire undocumented workers.

As the U.S. Code states, “Any person or entity which engages in a pattern or practice of violations of subsection (a)(1)(A) or (a)(2) shall be fined not more than $3,000 for each unauthorized alien with respect to whom such a violation occurs, imprisoned for not more than six months for the entire pattern or practice, or both, notwithstanding the provisions of any other Federal law relating to fine levels.”

Crack down on this group with heavy fines and jail time, and you dry up the jobs.

Morally, who should we punish more, people trying to feed their families or people trying to feed their bank accounts?

We need a border fence, and more: Opposing view

Dan Stein September 1, 2016

Instead of enforcing our immigration laws, we provide incentives for people to violate them.

Sixty-five countries have built security fences and other barriers to protect themselves from large scale migration and the infiltration of terrorists. Fences do not guarantee security, but they are an integral tool for securing borders.

In 2006, Congress acknowledged the need when it approved the Secure Fence Act. The legislation called for secure double-layered fencing along 700 miles of the border, augmented by manpower and technology to maintain overall control. Notably, both Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton voted in favor of the Secure Fence Act.

A decade later, the bill’s promise remains unfulfilled. Given the growth in worldwide migration and the emergence of new terrorist organizations, it is essential that the fence be completed and other security structures — including a wall where appropriate — be fully implemented.

While completing the fence is vital, we must not lose sight of the fact that our porous border is not the problem; it’s the symptom of the problem. Instead of enforcing our immigration laws, we provide incentives for people to violate them. Under the Obama administration, those incentives have become more enticing — on purpose.

While virtually everyone acknowledges that jobs are the primary magnet for illegal immigration, we do virtually nothing to prevent illegal aliens from working here. The Obama administration has abandoned meaningful enforcement against employers who hire them. Congress refuses to make E-Verify mandatory for all employers, despite the system’s proven track record.

The administration has also made it clear that it will not enforce immigration laws, unless an illegal alien has been convicted of other serious crimes. In addition, some 300 jurisdictions around the country shield illegal aliens through a variety of formal and informal sanctuary policies. Other jurisdictions readily provide the full panoply of taxpayer benefits and services.

If we truly want to control our borders, we must not only have physical barriers that make illegal entry difficult, we must also discourage illegal immigration by making it clear that it will never be rewarded.

Letter to the Editor: Good fences make good neighbors

September 1, 2016

Said Nigel Farage recently: “I would not vote for Hillary Clinton if she paid me to.”

On June 23, 2016, the voters of Great Britain declared independence from the European Union. Rule Britannia! Nigel Farage helped voters to understand the issues. The Brits no longer wished to be under—yes, under– the rule of the EU. The Brits wanted to decide their own immigration policies. They wanted their own trade policies and better fishing rights. In short, they wanted their own representative government to govern with the consent of the British people, not by a tangle of rules from the EU. Similar themes are a part of American politics as American voters approach the November election. Which of the four candidates should we choose? With Clinton, we would have a centralized government with its EU style diktats. Elections would become a bare fig leaf of tiny window dressing as representative government shrinks. Donald Trump’s immigration policy begins with “good fences make good neighbors,” or at least a step in that direction. A good fence insists we respect each other. How can there be peace if we do not respect each other?  Two other candidates? Who knows? They do not seem to know how government can be a blessing and a curse.

Exit the way you entered

By THE WASHINGTON TIMES - - Thursday, September 1, 2016

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

To be an immigration restrictionist today is to reside in a political Groundhog Day where sensible enforcement strategies of yesteryear have disappeared into a black hole. According to the press (and Donald Trump), there are only two choices for dealing with illegal aliens: Round them up to be deported or allow the long-termers — those with anchor babies and lengthy periods of job thievery — to stay. Really?

Instead, why not turn up the heat on existing programs, such as e-Verify, to make illegals’ lives so difficult that they are forced to leave on their own, the same way they got here?

Mitt Romney was roundly criticized for suggesting illegals “self-deport.” Apparently it was too sensible a suggestion for mainstream media to abide. But Mr. Romney was right: Deportation expenses for job thieves shouldn’t fall on American taxpayers.

Behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner taught us that negative reinforcement reduces undesirable behaviors, but America’s current practice of rewarding illegals with jobs, food stamps and first-world healthcare trains them to sit and stay. Democrats apparently want culturally big-government foreigners to remain and vote.

After decades of permissiveness, the government must demonstrate seriousness about immigration enforcement if we are to ever again imagine ourselves as “a nation of laws.”

Restore greatness

Editor: This should be an election of change. Instead, one party asks the electorate to continue the status quo by advancing its same failed policies, including Obamacare, illegal immigration, depressed wages, welfare abuse, civil unrest, terrorism and usurpation of legislative power. Consider Middle East chaos, nation-building and the situations in Syria, Iraq, Iran and Benghazi. Libya.

The system is broken and blame lies with the establishment and political hacks of both parties. The old-boy network will not go away by itself. We, the electorate, must fire them.

This is not the typical Democrat vs. Republican battle, but insider vs. outsider. Let us put aside ideologies and come together and correct the mess in which we find ourselves. Let’s reverse the creeping socialism that has infected our system. Let’s reject another self-serving insider whose greatest success has been her acquisition of personal wealth and power at the taxpayers’ expense.

Witness the insider piling-on of Donald Trump, not only by Democrats, but also by establishment Republicans who fear a loss of power and shamefully contribute to the media barrage against him.

Let’s elect an independent businessman who is not beholden to any political party or outside interest — free to serve his constituents and “make America great again,” bringing back jobs and rebuilding the economy. We can be assured he will protect life from the “womb-to-the-tomb,” control immigration, provide for the national defense and most importantly, appoint Supreme Court justices who will interpret law and not rewrite it.

So just whose fault is it if families are broken up?

If your parents moved and left you behind, wouldn't that be child abandonment?

If illegal immigrant parents are deported and don't take their children, isn't that child abandonment? Who, then, is breaking up a family?

Letter to the Editor: Free-Trade Deals Bad for America, Americans

By Diana Thorn | August 30, 2016 | 7:30 a.m.

Pres. Obama, Hillary Clinton and the socialist Democratic Party are determined to pass several so called “free trade’ deals that are bad for America and American workers. (NAFTA-TPP-TTIP) These trade deals would result in loss of American jobs, America’s sovereignty would be usurped, and power would be given to international organizations and courts to carry out and enforce the deals. Not Congress and the executive branch. Is this what you want America?

Even more frightening, we are learning about a sweeping, secretive trade deal called TISA (Trade in Service Agreement) that was recently exposed in WikiLeaks by Julian Assange. This trade deal would undermine citizen’s privacy, governments’ sovereignty, and allow the free flow of foreign labor. That means cheap labor would replace American workers.

What is TISA? Fifty-one countries would be governed by it, including the US, the European Union, and 22 other nations representing 70% of the world’s services’ trade. If passed, it would cover 80% of the US economy that falls under the heading of “services.” Included would be shipping, air travel, e-commerce, tele-communications, the internet, healthcare, financial services, engineering, landscape services, construction, sanitation, hotels, restaurants, and so on. We would be governed by international, not American laws and policies.

How would it affect us? TISA would globalize markets, functionally destroy national borders and create new corporate friendly rules and regulations in e-commerce and financial services. Simply put, TISA would seek to privatize public services and prevent countries from having any control over international corporations. It would be "profits over people.” Furthermore, it has “standstill” clauses to freeze regulations in place and prevent future rules for professional licensing, qualifications or technical standards. And a “ratchet” clause would make any broken trade barrier irreversible. Finally, no restrictions could be placed on foreign investment, corporations could control entire sectors.

And what about our privacy? According to The New Republic, this deal would allow banks and e-commerce outlets such as Amazon to send individual’s data out of a TISA country for processing, regardless of national privacy laws.

How would immigration be affected by TISA? Greatly. TISA is a backdoor attempt to allow unrestricted immigration into the US. Congress and the president would be powerless to regulate or stop the free flow of labor, work permits and other immigration requirements would be affected, and foreign workers could work without applying for citizenship. As a result, cheap labor would replace the jobs of American workers. Finally, there would be no limits on those entering our country and Pres. Obama and Hillary Clinton would have their permanent open border.

Wake-up America. TISA is a big deal. It is bad for America and Pres. Obama wants to fast-track it. Get informed and call members of Congress. If passed, it would be the final nail in the coffin of our Democratic Republic.

Letter to the editor: It’s not a difficult choice for president

By MARK SCHUTTENHELM from Jamestown Today [August 30, 2016] at 6:41 a.m.

For folks who are still on the fence regarding the upcoming presidential election, I offer some help. If you wish to have every aspect of American life continue to be ruled by political correctness, vote for Hillary Clinton. If you are obsessed with global warming and agree with Secretary of State John Kerry that air conditioners and refrigerators are as big of a threat to life as Islamic State terrorists, vote for Clinton. If you think it’s acceptable to have your ability to protect yourself and your family with a handgun challenged by politicians who enjoy 24/7 taxpayer-funded, armed security, Hillary is your gal. If you’d like to see more left-wing fanatics like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a former American Civil Liberties Union attorney, on the U.S. Supreme Court, vote for Clinton. If you think more diseased illegal aliens and refugees are a good thing for the United States, you should vote for Clinton. If you stand with the cop haters and cop killers instead of the actual cops, you should pull the lever for Clinton. If you think the taxpayer should cover sexual reassignment surgery for transgenders in the military while our vets sit around and rot waiting for basic medical procedures, Clinton is your candidate.

If you think more wide open borders and an unlimited invasion of illegal aliens is a good thing, vote for Clinton. If you have no problem with confused men and predators sharing the bathroom with your daughters, wives, moms and grandmothers, you should vote for Clinton. If you want middle-class wages to continue to be depressed by illegal and legal immigration and bad trade deals, cast that ballot for Clinton. If you think a million more Muslims, many from terrorist-friendly nations, and the associated terrorism, is a good thing for the United States, pull the lever for Clinton. If you’re a fan of sanctuary cities and you think dumping more than 20,000 criminal illegal aliens on our streets each year is a good idea, vote for Clinton. If you want to see your president pandering to an anti-police group like Black Lives Matter, stand with Clinton. If you’d like to see every illegal alien currently squatting in the U.S. made legal within 100 days of the inauguration, then vote for Clinton. If you’ve enjoyed watching the country decline toward Third World status, vote for Clinton to see that decline continue. Finally, if you like the direction things have been going in Washington, D.C., where lobbyists, donors, cronies and special interests rule the roost, vote for Clinton, for she will surely continue the corruption. As you can see, it isn’t such a difficult choice after all.

George B. Viau: Illegal immigration is the real problem

Posted Aug. 29, 2016 at 6:30 PM

I always enjoyed Mark Patinkin's articles until he composed his Aug. 25 column, “Consider our Rio Olympians before closing the US borders.” It’s not the content of the article but the title. Neither of the candidates running for the office of president ever discussed closing the borders. Yes, building a wall has been mentioned. What Trump did was strongly declare he would stop illegal entry into the U.S. There is a major difference between the two and I thought that an intelligent man like Mark would know the difference.

Yes the Olympians mentioned in his article deserve the congratulations from all U.S citizens for their performances, but I seriously doubt that their parents entered this country illegally.

Mark, just to make it perfectly clear, closing the borders to all people from foreign countries is not the same as stopping illegal entry.

Immigration: If you want to come here, apply for visa

Richard Radford, Anderson Island

Is it true that the only solutions to the problem of undocumented workers lie in legalizing all of them or deporting all of them? No! The solution already exists. It is for an immigrant to go back to one’s home nation, making one’s way to a U.S. consulate and applying for a visa. One may then return to the U.S. and apply for citizenship.

By the way, the visa itself makes one a legal resident for the term of the visa.

Taxpayers are slaves

By Sam Arrington
Louisville
Sunday, Aug 28, 2016

Who is it the Democrats think are working, paying taxes and producing in America? Working-class people.

Michelle Obama is disgusted that slaves helped build the White House. Today, we still have slaves – taxpayers. The taxpaying slaves are trying to keep America afloat but are struggling. A huge portion of our tax dollars go to the people who are too sorry to work; don’t want to work; say they can’t work; or the ones who think they are owed something or entitled. These people are domestic slaves to the government and don’t even realize it, and the government controls every aspect of their lives.

The taxpaying slaves are outnumbered by our domestic slaves and freeloaders. There are people who really need, and have trouble getting, benefits while others who are too sorry to work get them easier than veterans get their earned benefits.

With President Obama allowing illegal immigrants and Syrians to flood our country just as the flood waters devastated Baton Rouge, La., how can there be enough money to support these people when the Democrats put them on the government’s payroll and automatically give them benefits that we taxpaying slaves have worked for?

Taxpaying slaves will have to work a little harder and longer to pay for these illegals who will vote for a liberal Democrat just to keep their checks flowing. The people not working outnumber those who do work. If Hillary Clinton is elected, the floodgates will open to millions more illegals who will get government checks, and the United States will end up just like Greece and Venezuela – broke.

I do not want to work for the government and neither do my friends. The government was intended to work for us.

Come on people, let’s elect a patriot for president who will pave the way for better jobs and economy, and will rebuild our military. We don’t need and can’t afford another lying politician in the White House. Donald Trump is my man.
