Do you think the war on terror is a diversion to keep us from noticing illegal immigration and the plans for?

Question

the North American Union? I've heard people argue the opposite, but I am starting to wonder about it.

I know the war is being fought for other reasons but I think this is something we might have missed. How many birds can they kill with one stone?

Answer 1

you do have a point that media focus on foreign issues will sidetrack the american public from domestic issues.
However, illegal immigration does make the headlines, and frankly, I think its a popular issue... people love debating it, and learning about the latest political advances on that issue.

the war on terror does create a diversion, but not for this I think.

But its still something to think about... I'm sure the 'war on terror' has its own effects on covering up, or helping promote the NAU

Answer 2

That's a pretty big diversion. And if its true... then I give kudos to the Bush Administration for thinking big when it comes to diversions.

To be honest, I don't think it takes much to divert attention now in days. Especially since there are many other issues that still need to be addressed and corrected. Remember Illegal Immigration isn't the ONLY thing that's on the mind of Americans, and neither is the war in Iraq.

Answer 3

Why people are NOT up in arms over poverty issue's, right to work state laws, all types of immigration & prosecuting employers/Landlords i don't understand. I write Congress.org 4 to 5 times a week alone just on illegal immigration, employers have subverted the laws far to long. You people rely on your vote every 2/4/6/8 years for democracy & there is NO method of proof or verification in the current process! Someone needs to Organize a Volunteer National Militia to be on call for action against these Treasonistic corporate seeded candidate's etc.

Answer 4

I think there is a master plan and the war helps to move the plan along faster,I would like to think Bush is just evil and insane but I think there is a plan too.I hope we get to hang the evil low liefs that are bringing this country down,if you only go by what you can see with your own eyes you know we are being hurt bad,and will surely be a third world hell hole in less than ten years.

Answer 5

In a way the illegal immigrants are kind of lucky we have a war going on, if not for that, on one hand the liberals might not have gotten into office, and also they would be the main news every day. So in the daily news, they are moved off of the front page.

Answer 6

No; however, the by product of waging war is that everything, including immigration, education, social welfare, etc. will not get the full attention that it deserves. It's a juggling act. If you have too many balls to juggle, some will fall and will get ignored. I don't think the war is a "smoke screen" on immigration but immigration is being ignored, to some degrees, by the war.

Answer 7

As far as my thoughts on the war, I am not sure where I stand. I was never for it in the first place, but I do believe if we leave now, we will put them in a worse situation than before we arrived.

As far as the illegal immigrants go, we have new initiatives, such as WHTI(Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative) and US-VISIT(a system of biometrics to monitor people entiring and leaving the country via fingerprints, set to be in place in Dec. 08). The strength and security of our borders IS being addressed, in a big way.

Answer 8

I think the war on terror is to further similar aims as the NAU, actually. However, I agree they try to trivialize rewriting or ignoring the Constitution by distracting us and calling us 'mean spirited'.

Answer 9

in case you decrease off get entry to to medical centers you would possibly want to now no longer have hospitals dropping billions. My, perchance extra humanitarian suggestion might want to be that for each dollar saved on treatment the US spend fifty cents to construct clinics and hospitals contained in the countries that make contributions the most to the unlawful immigration disaster. i might want to somewhat spend 1/2 what i'm spending now to construct a health center in Mexico than to have the poorest 0.33 of Mexico residing in my county and draining it dry. those countries, being overwhelmingly corrupt, might want to ought to comply with enable the US do the construction and not in any respect merely have the money exceeded to them on the grounds that they obviously won't be able to be relied on to spend it properly. BTW - A sordid previous would not stand contained in the way of a Presidency, of direction. yet having strong thoughts and wondering you may push them with the help of the f-ed up gadget in Washington unilaterally might want to probable reason you do bypass decrease back to wanting "leisure prescription drugs". Worst pastime contained in the international. does no longer want it on you.

Answer 10

Well I think you have a very good point,Im not the sharpest crayon in the box,but .....wonder if not keeping our borders secure is letting any terrorist in that wants in??? And also,our troops should know if something aint right and they say we shouldnt be at war in Iraq,that our president sent our kids there for no reason other than revenge for senior Bush ...hummmm,Yep Id say its a diversion,to say the least.
