Have We Lost The Will?

Have we as a nation finally lost the will to be free? Have we lost the will to defend our country and remain a sovereign nation? How much will we give up, how much will we sacrifice, before its too late? What is the fate of our nation, if President-Elect Obama awards amnesty to over 20 million illegal immigrants?

I have often wondered, if instead of calling it illegal immigration, we shouldn't be calling it a "foreign invasion". The ramifications of this invasion are just as dramatic and destructive as any "terrorist" act. This invasion is spreading across our country at such a rapid rate, its hard to comprehend just how it can be happening. I live here in the beautiful mountains of Eastern Tennessee, and here are some statistics regarding Tennessee:

1. Between the years of 2000 - 20004 the Hispanic population of 3 counties grew by over 70%.
2. In Robertson county it grew by over 95%!
3. In 7 other Tennessee counties, it grew by over 45%.

The state of Tennessee is not a "border state", but what is taking place here in Tennessee is happening all across America. At an alarming rate. Consider the costs (as I have blogged about earlier) associated with this invasion.

These numbers were released in 2006, so today, they are even more. The costs to American taxpayers:

1. Education $22.5 Billion
2. Bi-lingual Education $3.3 Billion
3. SSI $2.9 Billion
4. Social Security $24.8 Billion
5. Housing $2.6 Billion
6. Criminal Justice $2.6 Billion
7. Americans Losing Jobs $10.8 Billion
8. Food Stamps $7.0 Billion
9. Health Care $1.4 Billion

The greatest threat I believe, is the potential for terrorist activity that this massive invasion brings. How many of these "illegals" have criminal records when they enter the U.S., and how many are currently wanted for criminal charges? How many of these "illegal invaders" have been trained and then brought across our border for the purpose of attacking our people and our nation? No one knows, no one. Mr. Obama doesn't have any idea, nor does any of his chosen few. We do know, however, that a significant majority of our prison population is composed of these illegals. Consider for a moment, with all the illegals already residing in America, with criminal records...how hard would it be for a foreign power to recruit and train them for terrorist activities. Not very hard at all, this of course, does not include those I have already mentioned that were recruited prior to entry into our country.

Have we lost the will to be free? When will stand up and say "enough is enough"? When will we demand of our leaders that action, true action, be taken to keep us free and to keep us safe? Secure our borders, now. Take action regarding all illegal immigrants, and forget giving them amnesty, only a ride to the border. I welcome your comments.
