The Department of Homeland Security today announced suspension of the new rules which require US citizens to show a passport when returning by air from Canada, Mexico, or the Caribbean — because the State Department has a backlog in processing of passport applications.

Does anyone else besides me remember that the new rules were announced well in advance of their effective date?  Why should I pay in decreased security for those who refuse to get things done in a timely manner?  What number of ill-intentioned persons will be allowed to slip into my country due to this slacking of enforcement?

At the end of this past January, I was presented with an opportunity which would require that I make one or more trips abroad over the course of the remainder of the year, beginning in mid-to-late May.  The very first thing I did — even before knowing for certain that I would be traveling and the exact dates and locations of travel — was to apply for a new passport since my old one had expired years ago.  Reports of the processing backlog were already being published — and I wanted to do all that I could to make sure that I would have my passport in-hand well before I needed it.  That included to have it before I bought non-refundable plane tickets.  The passport arrived in the mail a couple days short of the announced ten weeks processing period — three weeks before I would need to purchase airfare to be able to travel cheaply in mid-to-late May.

Given my ability to get on the ball to securing a passport just as soon as I knew that I might be traveling abroad and not saving that most important step until late in the planning — I call on the Feds to partially reinstate the new passport rules to deny entry to anyone who’s passport receipt is dated to show that they did not apply soon enough to expect to have it in-hand for travel according to published wait times.  I also call on those who have even the slightest belief that they might be making a land crossing of either our northern or southern border beginning January 1st of next year — when a passport will be required for re-entry — to get their application in now so that they don’t end up to be crying fools like so many of those who have been crying to their Congressmen because they didn’t bother getting their passport application in on time.

That is the title I would give to this story from World Net Daily. It tells how a coalition of advocates for illegal aliens and continued illegal immigration — including La Raza — have set up an 800 number for people to call to lobby the US Senate for passage of the sell-out “immigration reform” bill now before the Senate. The web site cited in the article not only coaches obvious illegals — who have no business calling a US Senator — how to say (in English) to the Senate staffer who answers the phone, “Support immigration reform that protects families and workers”, but they also pass along the caller ID of the caller to the 800 number — instead of the actual 800 number from which the call to the Senate office originates — so that the staffer is deceived into reporting that the call came from a loner instead of from a person who is part of an organized effort.

My suggestion is that every reader go to the illegals website and call their Senators on the illegal’s dime! Do what the site says — call early and often — use up as many of their dimes as you can!!!

By the way…can anyone please supply me with the number to some members of the legislature in Mexico, and also to their president Calderon, along with some coaching…so that when I call and the staffer picks up the phone, I can tell them in Spanish, “Please ship one barrel of oil to the United States for free per month for every Mexican who is there illegally. Thank you.” Better yet, can someone please set up an 800 number like La Raza uses so that it looks to the Mexican officials like all of the calls are coming from within Mexico? I will be glad to publish the numbers (or the 800 number) here for everyone to use after they use La Raza’s 800 number to tell their Senators to put this crappy piece of legislation in the trash can.

In case you have been deprived of learning the actual history of this country — that is, of the United States Of America — “carpet-bagger” was how Southerners would refer to people from the North who came down south after the Civil War and carried all the booty they could manage to steal back up north with them…

I’d like to thank Michael Savage for alerting us to this bogus crap on his radio program, which airs weekdays at 5PM Central time.
