POEM

AMERICANS WHERE ARE YOU?

My childhood days were pleasant and nice
No worry about illegal aliens and all the vice
Streets and neighborhoods were always safe
America was a wonderful place.

Through the years, many changes came about
But few Americans stood up to complain or shout
Events came about which caused us to fear
But no one complained to hold America dear.

I thought 9/11 would cause Americans to wake up
And to demand a complete Government shake-up
The American flag flew high and wide
With loyalty and pride at each persons side.

Time has past and so has the theme
America has been lost in that wonderful dream
Illegal aliens are the cause and what has been done?
Our borders still open to everyone.

The INS was the Government's blame
The inefficiency of this agency is a shame
Examinations showed our Government was at fault
But Americans did not demand a halt.

Illegal aliens come here by the thousands a day
But Americans do not have anything to say
Many go about their merry old way,
Soon it will be too late for them to have their say.

Over $200,000 dollars are being spent in Phoenix city
To be used for a hiring hall for illegal aliens- what a pity!
There is a town in Texas where English cannot be used
This is another case where my language is abused.

Democrats want the Hispanic vote
And welcome illegal aliens who come by boat
Republicans want the cheap labor here to stay
These political parties must wake up- I pray.

Some states grant illegal aliens licenses to drive
This will aid and permit their illegal activities to survive
Crime, drug smuggling and murder occur every day,
That seems to be the current American way.

Mexican consulates give Matriculas ID cards for their people here.
This is another problem that is quite clear.
This is an alternative form of ID's for some
And for our elected officials to accept these are dumb.

We have legal means to come here
Why don't people follow this and adhere.
America is not the place I once knew
To solve this, many Americans don't even have a clue

The concept of Aztlan is to take over the southwest
This is very serious and not a jest
The movement is very active and real
And seven U. S. states they want to steal.

Aztlan is not immigration- annexation is the correct name
With over 13 million illegal aliens in the U. S., We are to blame.
Aztlan's goal is to take over in about 8 years
Unless Americans do something, we are all going to be in tears.

The area of the U. S. is 3.6 million square miles or their about
This area cannot be increased, there is no doubt.
Our current population is 281 million or more
By 2050 it will be 500 million if we don't shut the door!

We Americans must get involved
To get this monumental problem solved.
If we still want America to be the home of the brave
we better wake up or become a Mexican slave.

If nothing is done to protect the U.S. of A.
The choice is clear, what more can I say,
The facts are there and well known to me
Let's get politicians to hear our plea.

Americans- Where are you?
What are you going to do?
Stand up for your right!
Get in there and fight!

Answer 1

We are lost behind The guise of the politically correct, subscribe to the belief that smaller families are paramount even if it leads to extinction, we have been sensitivity trained, we have been taught our ancestors were evil and we must bear their punishment, we are taught the majority must fall to make way for others, we are taught that government will take care of us no matter how usurious they are, we are taught now to give up, not fight, and let the one that makes the most noise win at the expense of as many people as necessary.

We are taught in the name of peace to lay down and die as only our elected officials have the right to determine our shape and future. We are now being taught by our leaders much like the communists used to argue in the 40' & 50's that only a communist nation can avoid a nuclear war, now we are being told only by giving up our rights to the government and moving toward a globalised world can peace be guaranteed.

We are taught to give our all and accept in return something worth less. We are taught now to extend this to government, where we give our rights to a North American Free Trade Union and in return we get less while big business and government get more.

America's birthright is under attack. Now we are being taught the only future America has is by other countries coming here and we grow old and die. We found out the real goal of our governments of the USA, Austrailia, and the UK was to make our countries fall and the hell with the citizens - in fact, we won't even call them citizens anymore - let's call them immigrants to strip them of any rights granted and leave them open to destroy thier heritage and quality of life.

Thank you George Bach, head of Immigration in Washington, for writing that immigrants don't have to assimilate, Americans have to assimilate to immigrants.

You have to ask yourself if the power structure in Washington is as clueless as it seems to be.

We are taught that fighting is wrong and to give up what we have for everyone else. We are taught the real power is someone else, something else never us. We are taught it's ok to fail - someone else will pick up, someone else will get the job done, don't worry about it, someone else will raise children, someone else will educated children, don't give it another thought.

I have but one problem with accepting all of the above which has been ingrained into our lives. I am discovering when I see the big picture I realize I am incorrigible to the teachings of give up, don't act, say nothing, comply, do not excersize your first amendment or face the consequences.

Answer 3

I highly doubt the influx of illegals is an organized effort on their behalf. i would bet you they are just trying to live. the issue is in the mexican government and their lack of support for their own people.

in the meantime, these very poor people need to live and the u.s. has always been the place to go, thats by word of mouth and experience. i have to tell you, most of those folks ultimate goal is to send money home to for mama and papa to build a home where the illegal will ultimately go home to have a good life with his family. i know many, i even married one when i was really young.

the problem is that they get caught up in life here, just like we all do, and most of them don't make it back home. so they just bring mama and papa here. its not the evil empire that you imagine...its just real people, like us, wanting to get by.

now if you have so much time that you can write hateful, fearful epic poems, why don't you get into something that can be useful. find a way to help folks stay in mexico...they really do want to, they just don't have any reason to stay there. i believe it starts with education.

you will find the people here are not educated or quite under-educated... you do need to look at the individual to understand the issue...not the whole enchilada. see, they are people and they, each and every one of them, have a different story. but most are undereducated and that goes back to the government...start there.

OH, and by the way, most illegals get fake ids...yes, that's true. along with the fake id they use fake social security numbers...so that means they get taxed and cannot get their income taxes done at the end of the season. so, our government taxes the hell out of them, like they do us, but they never RETURN the over taxes like they do with us. NEVER! multiply that by ALL of the illegals out there who are working. do the math!!! it's always blown my mind. its like prostitution and drugs...more money to our evil empire...it's big business on the u.s. government's dirty little secret list.
