First off- let’s just get over the name. Yes, the word “wetback” is considered derogatory, and a racial slur. I get it. The term was initially used to describe (now pay close attention here, folks) ILLEGAL aliens. Notice it was not used to describe legal immigrants. I abhor racial slurs. The only racial slur allowed to be uttered in my home is “red-neck.” However, this is the actual name of the program and I have no control over the language used by people in the 1920’s and 1950’s. So, it would be nice if we can all just be adults and get to the facts.

Yesterday on the Control Congress Radio Show, our guest Bart Brannon (Vice Chair of Cherokee County GOP in GA) tried to use the “Operation Wetback” mention as a ploy. (I recommend folks actually read about the effectiveness of Operation Wetabck) “Do you want to bring back Operation Wetback?” He asked. This is just a game that the GOP Leadership is playing. See, we are supposed to instantly say “NO!” for fear that we are seen as racist if we say “Yes.” Well, I am perfectly comfortable with my stand on racism. Calling me a racist is like calling me an atheist, a liberal, or even homosexual. It makes me laugh. It is quite comical.

So dear Bart, as I said on the show- “YES! I do want Operation Wetback II," and you have yet to address ONE thing about Operation Wetback that was legally, ethically, or morally wrong (other than maybe the name of it), or one shred of evidence that it did not work. The amazing thing to me, is that we are dealing with the issue of illegal immigration at all- especially after President Eisenhower demonstrated so well how easy it is to solve. Not only did he give us the blueprint, he addressed why it was even a concern to us at all. One word- “Corruption.”

Do I support deporting Illegal Aliens? Why- YES- YES I DO! I support enforcing the law. Imagine that. I also support enforcing the law on businesses. I would propose that any new laws passed about illegal immigration demand jail-time for those who employ illegal aliens. Not just fines, but actual jail time. Corporations and businesses do not break laws, people do. Yes, people break our laws. It is not corporations who are corrupt; it is people who are corrupt. It is not laws that refuse to enforce themselves; it is politicians and law enforcement agents who do not enforce the laws.

I would propose the new operation be given a new name. Maybe something like “No Illegal Left Behind,” or maybe “Operation Clean up Slave Labor Corruption of Corporations and Political Exploiters of Minorities.” How dare supporters of this No Borders Necessary Bill (Amnesty Bill) call law abiding citizens racists. It is you who exploit people from 3rd world countries in the name of the ole mighty dollar. It is you who exploit the working poor legal citizens of our country. How dare the leadership of the GOP not only abandon the people who have taken it in the chin for the past 7 years for the Republican Party, but outright attack them.

You have utter contempt for those that put you into office. We have been tortured for years as we watch DC Republicans “reach across the aisle” to “unite” America, while the media and the Democrats beat you over the head with your olive branch. You finally grow a spine, and you have saved all your strength to bash the very people you “claim” to serve.

You want to claim that status quo is not working. WELL YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! But see, the American people know what the status quo is. The status quo is corrupt politicians, corporations, and special interest groups having orgies in DC on the backs of the law-abiding American citizen. The status quo is that politicians in DC have given corporations, and entire industries (such as agriculture, construction, landscaping, etc) a pass on adhering to the laws; and they have done it at the expense of the taxpayer. The status quo was the Republican Party shoving tort reform through, under the guise of high health care costs being the fault of attorneys. When in truth, you just wanted to hit trial attorneys in the wallet because they are large funders for the Democratic Party. The REAL reason for such high health care costs is that the recipients of “free” health care don’t know English. Well, other than the word “Medicaid.” Status quo is selling out your border agents for drug dealers. So, yes your are right- ignoring our laws for those who pay out the big bucks for your campaigns- Status quo is NOT WORKING!

We don’t want Status Quo. We want our laws enforced, and we want any politician standing in the way, to pack up and get out. In fact, I would wager most Americans would prefer that mass deportation start inside the DC beltway. The American people DO understand that we don’t need a bill to enforce our laws. Most Americans understand that it is not the laws on the books that are the real problem, it is the people who have sworn to protect our country and its people that are the problem. We don’t need another piece of paper engineered by politicians, attorneys, corporations, and special interest groups. We need an effective leadership willing to turn down cash and do the right thing for America and its law abiding citizens.

It is a new age. People do not have to rely on politicians and the media to tell us what is in a bill, or on the law books. The internet has made this information available to us so that we can read it for ourselves. And until the No Child Left Behind generation reaches voting age, most Americans can actually read and do the math for themselves.

This one issue has finally opened the eyes of the American people on just how corrupt and out-of-touch you office holders and office seekers truly are. It is appalling for us to watch the Republicans finally put on their boxing gloves, only to learn their target is their own people. I recommend you wake up and smell the latte. Instead of attacking your people, try explaining why it is that every time the Democrats are headed off a cliff, the GOP leadership feels the need to tackle them at the ankles and jump off the cliff themselves. Oh, never mind, we know why. You are jumping off the cliff with some big checks in your pockets. Now that we have established what you are, do you mind telling me how much your “johns” paid you?
