We
have
recently
witnessed
something
deeply
disturbing:
illegal
alien
mobs
emerging,
by
the
hundreds
of
thousands,
from
the
shadows
of
lax
law
enforcement
in
Phoenix,
Denver
and
Los
Angeles.
I
have
written
three
opinion
pieces
this
week
on
our
nation's
illegal
alien
crisis,
which
you
can
access
in
their
entirety
at
www.RenewAmerica.us
In
them,
I
argue
that
when
people
come
from
abroad
to
make
a
new
home
for
themselves,
and
they
are
committed
to
the
goal
of
becoming
part
of
our
nation
--
that's
immigration.
When
they
come
to
exploit
economic
opportunities
while
proudly
flaunting
their
determination
to
continue
in
their
allegiance
to a
foreign
flag
--
that's
colonization.
Large
numbers
of
foreigners
are
marching
proudly
under
the
flag
of a
foreign
country,
to
demand
the
right
to
live
in
the
United
States.
They
claim
that
the
issue
is
immigration.
But
by
their
own
actions
they
reveal
what
is
in
fact
a
determined
effort
to
force
Americans
to
accept
large
foreign
colonies
in
our
midst,
and
to
pay
handsomely
for
the
privilege
of
doing
so.
We
have
both
the
right
and
the
moral
obligation
to
say
no.
Obviously,
our
political
leaders
do
not
understand
the
real
nature
of
the
issue.
President
Bush
has
told
us
that
his
guest
worker
program
is
not
intended
to
lead
to
citizenship
for
the
illegal
aliens
in
our
midst.
He
actually
seems
to
believe
this
is a
point
in
its
favor.
At
the
same
time,
he
and
many
in
the
US
Senate
want
us
to
believe
that
the
latest
so-called
immigration
"reforms"
they
are
pushing
are
somehow
in
line
with
the
great
tradition
of
immigration
that
literally
created
the
American
people.
This
is a
lie.
In
the
past,
the
large
majority
of
people
coming
to
America
from
abroad
came
here
to
become
part
of
the
nation.
They
brought
habits,
customs
and
creeds
that
enriched
the
panoply
of
our
emerging
national
identity,
but
they
also
accepted
the
challenge
of
becoming
an
integral
part
of
it.
Citizenship
is
the
proper
fruit
of
that
kind
of
authentic
immigration,
and
that's
what
makes
it
good
for
America.
Accepting
the
presence
of
large
numbers
of
people
who
maintain
their
allegiance
to a
foreign
flag,
a
foreign
language
and
a
foreign
culture
and
who
mean
to
claim
many
of
the
benefits
but
none
of
the
responsibilities
of
citizenship,
is a
departure
from
the
tradition
that
built
this
nation,
and
the
culmination
of
inept
policies
that
will
end
in
its
dissolution.
Given
the
destructive
consequence
of
allowing
such
colonization,
it
is
especially
dismaying
to
see
supposed
moral
leaders
demanding
that
we
accept
it.
This
includes
misguided
pastors,
priests
and
Catholic
cardinals.
They
cite
"moral
responsibility."
True
moral
responsibility
requires
that
we
compare
the
good
we
may
do
by
violating
the
immigration
laws
with
the
harm
that
will
result
from
destroying
our
capacity
to
enforce
immigration
rules
and
regulations.
Consider
the
spectacle
of
the
major
cities
in
many
countries
around
the
world,
where
the
pressure
of
uncontrolled
migration
from
rural
to
urban
areas
has
led
to
excessive
burdens
on
their
infrastructure,
and
the
development
of
enormous
slums
riddled
with
disease
and
poverty.
The
United
States
is,
as
it
were,
the
urban
capital
of
the
world.
Uncontrolled
migration
from
the
global
hinterland
will
result
in
pressures
upon
our
economic,
social
and
political
infrastructure
that
will
degrade
both
our
material
well
being
and
the
always
fragile
fabric
of
our
national
identity.
The
result
will
be
greater
poverty,
greater
social
friction
and
unrest,
and
sharper,
more
irreconcilable
differences
in
our
political
life.
The
latter
will
be
especially
true
if
we
have
permitted
large
communities
of
non-citizen
workers
to
become
a
permanent
feature
of
our
national
life.
This
would
be a
population
of
people
who
pay
taxes
and
yet,
as
non-citizens,
have
no
say
in
the
political
process
that
determines
their
ultimate
disposition.
"No
taxation
without
representation"
was
the
early
battle-cry
of
political
justice
in
America,
and
it
still
indicates
the
truth
that
representative
government
is
part
of
the
natural
birthright
of
all
human
beings.
It
makes
no
sense
to
adopt
policies
that
encourage
the
permanent
existence
of a
large,
disenfranchised
population
in
our
midst.
All
this
suggests
that
immigration
control
is
prudent
and
necessary
for
the
common
good
of
the
country.
Moral
reasoning
that
ignores
the
common
good
is
in
fact
not
moral
at
all.
If
immigration
control
serves
the
common
good,
then
effective
immigration
laws
are
appropriate
and
morally
obligatory.
If
one
encourages
citizens
to
ignore
such
laws,
and
thus
undermine
their
effectiveness,
one
encourages
them
to
take
particular
actions
that,
by
contributing
to
the
overall
collapse
of
the
economic,
social
and
political
infrastructure,
will
result
in
far
greater
misery
and
suffering
than
they
purport
to
alleviate.
This
is
irresponsible,
immoral
and
contrary
to
the
rational
requirements
of
Christian
conscience
and
ordered
liberty.
And
it
is
both
unfair
and
dishonest
to
react
to
this
analysis
as
if
it
represents
some
willingness
to
slam
the
door
of
opportunity
in
the
face
of
the
hopes
and
aspirations
of
less
fortunate
people
around
the
world.
On
the
contrary,
the
effort
to
develop
and
enforce
responsible
immigration
policies
aims
to
assure
that
the
invitation
to
hope
is
not
extended
in
ways
that
destroy
its
fulfillment.
It
is
also
intended
to
make
sure
that
our
policies
do
not
aid
and
abet
the
tendency
of
some
foreign
elites
to
enrich
themselves
at
the
expense
of
their
people,
and
then
escape
accountability
for
their
viciousness
by
pushing
the
victims
across
the
border
into
the
United
States.
Is
it
morally
right
to
facilitate
the
corruption
and
greed
of
these
self-serving
exploiters?
I
believe
that
immigration
in
the
true
sense
is
good
for
America.
This
would
mean
policies
aimed
at
assuring
that
by
and
large
the
people
who
come
to
America
come
with
the
intention
of
becoming
full
and
responsible
citizens
of
the
republic.
It
also
means
discouraging
any
who
think
they
have
the
right
to
establish
foreign
enclaves
in
our
midst,
in
order
to
gain
economic
advantages
for
themselves
without
fully
committing
to
help
us
build
this
free
society.
Immigration,
yes;
colonization,
no.
The
first
prerequisite
of
any
immigration
policy,
however,
is
to
regain
full
control
of
the
borders
of
the
United
States.
The
Minuteman
citizen
border
watch
movement
has
done
a
sterling
service
to
the
nation
in
bringing
forward
the
truth
about
our
broken
borders.
Currently
proposed
legislation
falls
far
short
of
what
is
needed
to
recover
our
territorial
integrity.
Until
and
unless
our
political
leaders
put
in
place
the
tools
and
forces
needed
to
achieve
control
of
our
own
borders,
responsible
and
moral
Americans
ought
to
oppose
any
measures
that
would
signal
our
acceptance
of
the
de
facto
colonization
of
our
country.
President
Bush's
guest
worker
proposal
and
much
of
the
legislation
in
play
in
the
US
Senate
are
measures
that
signal
precisely
such
surrender.
They
may
serve
short
sighted
business
interests
intent
on
cheapening
the
cost
of
labor
in
our
economy;
they
may
serve
the
corrupt
interest
of
Mexican
and
other
foreign
elites
seeking
to
relieve
the
pressure
created
by
their
own
policies
of
greedy
exploitation.
But
they
do
not
serve
the
common
good.
Such
service
demands
policies
that
give
preference
in
immigration
not
just
to
workers
seeking
jobs
and
money,
but
to
those
who
seek
liberty
and
the
responsibilities
of
citizenship.
America
is
at a
crossroads
in
this
debate.

analysis,
