Where Knowledge Rules

AMERICA FOR THE TAKING... There was a time when the fruits of this great country were a privilege to be earned.  On the calendar of progress, that wasn't so very long ago.  Today, if you want to reap the rewards of living in America, all you need to do is sneak across a border and thumb your nose at the generations of citizens who have struggled and sacrificed to build a homeland where life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness should be their legacy. 

Our country has survived many setbacks over the course of its evolution and still managed to rise to the top, again and again.  However, with the ever-increasing number of immigrants (both legal and illegal) taking from our benefits system, our cupboards are growing bare.  This government is overwhelmed and ineffective in managing the state of our economy.  There is little or no control over our borders and the time has come to close the doors and concentrate on those who have earned the natural right to live and work in this great country.  It is time for the American citizen to stand up and begin the process of  TAKING BACK AMERICA!

Recent events have made a painful but clear rationalization for why this country needs to establish English as a National language.  If only as a show of respect for those Americans who immigrated from other countries and took pride in becoming total Americans by learning the language, our government has an obligation to its citizens, to ensure that they are able to communicate publicly and enjoy that one equality in the workplace.

That we do not have a national language segregates a population that considers itself a "melting pot".  A melting pot, by definition, indicates a blending and that blend becomes clabbered with the addition of several languages.

Unfortunately, we have become a nation of nations, meaning that suddenly we are overwhelmed with immigrants who, rather than desire t

I wrote this: "Is inmate rehabilitation succeeding?" <http://www.helium.com/items/1610566-why-prison-inmate-rehabilitation-is-not-succeeding> and it includes a section condemning the government imprisoning and paying for--at citizen's expense--all the illegal aliens in American jails. You should see the angry e-mails I've gotten from fellow Helium writers. I guess I wasn't PC enough for their liking! My writing usually is in the top 5%, this one was slammed to last place immediately, although it exposes the faulty logic the other two perpetuate in their articles. I should have known better than to post an article under the Sociology section. LOL In that article it also mentions that estimates put 80% of all crimes in the U.S. at the feet of non-citizens. How do you like that? Terrence Aym.

Priceless video! BTW - It is interesting to note how 'under-privileged' countries have such strict immigration laws while we suckers just let all and sundry come and live off us! Mind you, in another 100 years there should be enough room for us all in Mexico, and I believe the weather's quite good too? :)

Illegal Immigrant's Poem

                                       (Author unknown)

 

I cross ocean, poor and broke,

 Take bus, see employment folk.

Nice man treat me good in there,

 Say I need to see welfare.

 

Welfare say, 'You come no more,

 We send cash right to your door'

Welfare cheques, they make you wealthy,

 Medicare it keep you healthy!

 

By and by, I got plenty money,

 Thanks to you, Australian Dummy.

Write to friends in motherland,

 Tell them 'come fast as you can.'

 

They come in turbans and Ford trucks,

 I buy big house with welfare bucks

They come here, we live together,

 More welfare checks, it gets better!

 

Fourteen families, they moving in,

 But neighbour's patience wearing thin.

Finally, white bloke moves away,

 Now I buy his house, and then I say,

 

Find more aliens for house to rent.'

 And in the yard I put a tent.

Send for family they just trash,

 But they, too, draw the welfare cash!

 

Everything is very good,

 And soon we own the neighbourhood.

We have hobby?  it's called breeding,

 Welfare pay for baby feeding.

 

Kids need dentist? Wife need pills?

 We get free! We got no bills!

Australian crazy! He pay all year,

 To keep welfare running here.

 

We think Australia 'darn good place!

 Too darn good for the white man race.

If they no like us, they can scram,

 Got lots of room in Pakistan .
