Intermixed with Hillary Clinton’s many disparate stances on illegal immigration are the occasional, very revealing statements that say far more about her character in general than about her transient and flexible beliefs. In one recent statement, she expressed her surprise at the vehemence of real America in its opposition to the massive invasion of illegals.
According to Hillary, such fiery opposition was nonexistent only seven or eight years ago which, incidentally was when she and her husband occupied the White House. So what brought about this change? Without missing a beat, she postulated that the reason is, of course, the worsening economy under President Bush, which has made Americans, when looking for jobs, feel competitive pressure from those who breached the border.
No doubt Hillary was a bit off her game, since she was unable to bring Iraq, Guantanamo, or water boarding into the discussion. Yet from what she did say, two things are glaringly evident. First, she will not hesitate to offer a completely bogus and irrelevant analysis of any situation in hopes of gaining a political point or two. And secondly, she outwardly rejects and thus disparages the real reasons offered by those who are displaying their anger over this issue.
Try this for subtlety and nuance Mrs. Clinton. Most Americans love their country, revere its heritage, and hope to pass its blessings of bounty and liberty on to their children and their children’s children. They have no intention of sitting idly by while their nation is “Balkanized,” and increasingly takes on the attributes of the third world in its everyday life. They are outraged by every incident reflective of a “banana republic” in the workings of its local, state and federal governments.
Of course such a blast of reality would never be compatible with the standard operation of the Clinton political machine. Thus, while Hillary may occasionally land on the right side of the illegals issue, as she did in the Las Vegas debate where she was finally coerced into opposition of driver’s licenses for illegal aliens, her heart clearly is not, and never was, for taking sufficient action to stem the invasion. If elected, she will not abate the crisis.
Unfortunately, Senator Clinton is hardly alone, nor does her party hold a monopoly on the border issue. Some of the worst displays of arrogant disdain for real America, and detachment from its plight, have occurred on the Republican side of the aisle. Consider, as perhaps the most outrageous example, a statement made by Arizona Senator John McCain in the recent CNN/Youtube Republican debate.
These politicians are playing "Micky the Dunce" when it comes to illegal immigration. They know damned well what the problems are, but THEY don't have to live in overcrowded neighborhoods, or compete for jobs with illegals, or worry about crime where they live, or listen to a foreign language wherever they go, etc.
They do this "superior dance", pretending to be more "compassionate" than us, but it's really because they don't have to DEAL with the problems on a daily basis, since they're separated by wealth. You can bet your bippy that they'd be thinking just like us, if they had to live "down here" with the peons.

Then we have a piece of the puzzle here, there is a GREED vibration, that is leeching the Eagle like a Poisonous Snake, this GREED is also causing devastation in foreign lands isn't it?
Besides leeching the Eagle, this Snake is also feeding from the fruits of Arrogance which are growing deep inside the Eagle's heart.

Indeed. The war in Iraq is all about oil. We were chasing Bin Laden in Afganistan at the time, had him cornered and suddenly we made a sharp left and invaded Iraq. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw bombs dropping on Bagdad.
The illegal invasion is largely due to corporations stuffing their pockets through the use of slave labor and of course politicians who keep the borders open will receive donations (bribes) from said corporations. This doesn't mean I give the illegals a free pass, much of the onus is on them too.

There is another piece of the puzzle, FEAR, this fear has been planted and harvested since 9/11 FEAR of terorrism, FEAR of illegals, the dark rat of FEAR is nibbling slowly the concsiousness of the Eagle, allowing those who thrive on GREED and ARROGANCE to create a distraction to continue with their agendas
