Increasingly it is clear that a political monopoly, one that threatens our very sovereignty and self-determination, has grabbed the reigns of governance from

I had just finished a story in the Old Grey Lady celebrating back room negotiations to resurrect the flawed immigration bill headlined:  “Senate Leaders Agree to Revive Immigration Bill”.  We all know the tune they’re singing.  Throw the masses a bone.  A little symbolic debate on some amendments here.  Some spinning on amnesty to call it anything, I repeat anything else, there.  And presto, before we know it, the borders we want closed will remain porous and the illegal invasion will be validated.  The special interest groups, power addicted pols and millions of illegals will have won, beneficiaries of our collective lassitude, short sightedness and lack of will.  Worse, the American culture, economy and political process will be forever changed, the result of sinister ends triumphed over the rule of law. 

As I sat brooding over the realities of the Beltway and its major codependent-the mainstream media-an amazing apparition materialized on the coffee table.  This line from the midsection of an article whose headline was obscured by my napkin popped into view:  “True invasives, the ones among us now, are more modest, and that helps explain their success-and their danger.”  I read on to discover truths like:  “To spread, they rely on the incautious habits of humans.”  Later the wise writer observes about the invader that what’s “most worrisome is the damage it does to native” inhabitants, “crowding them out and unbalancing the ecosystems they anchor and all the organisms that depend on them”.  By now you’ve probably figured out that the New York Times was railing about invasive exotic plants, in this case the water weed Eurasian watermilfoil, not the hoards of illegals who have entered and continue to pour over our borders and sneak into our ports.  Yet in their rush to preserve the Adirondack lakes’ precious stability, delicate balance and irreplaceably unique culture, the Times unknowingly provides an ironic insight into the Left’s priority psychosis. 

Simply exchange ‘illegal’ for ‘weed’ and this editorial piece morphs into a brilliant, timely and entirely appropriate diatribe against the arrogant and insulting immigration stance embodied in Bush-Kennedy.  Just ask any Texan with school aged children, or a desperate American citizen in southern California trying to get medical attention for their gravely ill child lost in a chaotic ER just how bad the invasion really is.  Bilingual education “fouls” our schools while American kids are left behind, and the hospitals are “choked” with alien invaders who continue to suck the very life out of what was a vibrant Southwestern culture and economy.  And the invasion is coming to a city near you….don’t be fooled.

In the end, it’s amusing that the Times frets about our need to thwart the invasion of exotic plant immigrants albeit for the right reasons, all the while continuing to advocate a flawed immigration policy that will only wreak more havoc on our precious culture and bountiful economy. I suggest they rewrite the article, simply replacing the words “invasive weeds” with “illegal aliens”, and “ecosystems” with “traditional American culture”.  Try that with the Times editorial’s closing line….it’s a great one to summarize the solution that Washington and the mainstream media simply don’t want to recognize:   “What it takes is vigilance, a commitment to protecting the balanced of native ecosystems, and a willingness to clean up a mess that is the result of our own negligence.”  That says it all.  It’s time to do some weeding…….see you this Saturday.
