Why it's vitally important to keep up the pressure on the Senate
Over at Pirate's Cove, William Teach warns us about what happens when we fail to keep up the pressure on our legislators:
Demotivation Monday: Immigration Backers Optimistic
In a nutshell, our elected senators and representatives, not to mention the President, all think that they can ignore us. Teach gives several reasons, but this is the one you need to see right now:
Third, the flood of angry calls, emails, protests, etc, probably did recede, as the people who were making them, particularly Conservatives, do not think that they have to continue to say the same thing again and again: they expect Senators to listen the first time.
Problem is, they didn't listen, so you gotta crank up the volume.
We'll make it easy for you. Refer back to our earlier post on this topic, Updated: No, it's NOT too late to stop the immigration "reform" bill! Use the links there to reach out and touch the senators from your state.

Terrorists Use Mexico to Enter U.S.
Open borders means no barriers against terrorist infiltration. And despite what the "reformers" say, it's impossible to do an effective background check on an alien in one business day. Once they get in, it's too late.

I am sick to death of people indicating that Mexico is our only problem. Why is it that nobody is concerned at all about that 7000+ mile border to our north? Is it because the people aren't quite as poor or as brown?
Do we need immigration reform? Of course. That reform should include having policies that aren't racist and are fair across the board, and are keeping in mind that this country was built on a dream and on the backs of immigrants.
My Great-grand Father actually conducted border raids against the US with Poncho Villa. Mercifully, he found God and left that life behind him. He did "swim" across, but those days are over. Now we have modern-day Poncho Villa's coming at us, who happen to resemble Hispanics.
The issue is simple: Secure the border tight as a drum (south first and than the north and coasts). Than we can take in a wide variety of hard-working immigrants that make our nation great. Stick with the old "whoa are the brown people" argument (I'm Hispanic) and we'll all pay when a guy that could be "Jose" is really a radical terrorist sneaks across with a dirty bomb or even a small nuke. Heck, he might just try and blow up JFK. Nah, that could never happen ;-)

In answer to "anonymous," I am far from being the only one who is deeply insulted and offended by the practice of using allegations of "racism" to smear anybody with whom one disagrees. In other words, if you want to accuse anybody of "racism," and you expect to be taken seriously by the general public, you'd better back it up with unassailable facts and logic.
In your comment, you have failed to do so. For one thing, the "border to our north" is not "7000+" miles. For another, you insinuate that people are less concerned about the Canadian border because the people "aren't quite as poor or as brown," even though it obviously has more to do with the relative numbers of would-be immigrants involved. A far larger number of people have been attempting to reach the U.S. from Mexico than from Canada.
In fact, Americans should be, and are, very concerned about who is entering the country by any route, whether from the north, from the south, from the shores, or from the airports. There's broad agreement among Americans that we need to enforce the immigration laws that we have, instead of passing new ones that create huge loopholes and wouldn't be enforced in any case. That is why this immigration bill has met with such intense opposition.
Our concerns have nothing whatsoever to do with skin color, and they are only peripherally about economics.
You seem to imply that the U.S. is under a moral obligation to take in everybody from every part of the world who is unhappy with their economic conditions at home. It is easy to see how this policy would hurt their countries as much as it would the U.S. It would remove their incentive to clean up the corruption and abandon the dysfunctional ideologies that have brought needless ruin to their home countries. It would encourage an even greater number of jihadists and other foes and criminals to bring to the U.S. the same benighted beliefs and practices that have kept their own countries mired in tyranny and squalor.
Had you been reading the news lately, you would have seen ample evidence that our open-borders policy promotes terrorism. Our primary concern--and it is a very real, vital, legitimate concern--is to stop the entry of criminals, jihadists, and WMDs. We don't want them here. It's the duty of the federal government to keep them out, and we taxpayers and voters expect our legislators to do their part.
Here is another example that shows why border security has nothing to with skin color.
