The message sent to every person: sincere refugee, thief, terrorist, or thug is “If you get here, you can stay,” so they come by the trainloads. And when they come, they are handed a bag of freebies: education, medical care, welfare payments, legal advice, etc. In that bag of goodies the illegals hope to find amnesty.

Hispanic extremists continue to raise the ante to get as much as they can; after all, we “owe” it to them. One sign demanded, “Give us FREE Health care, Jobs–no taxes, House, Food – You OWE us America! We will shoot more police in Arizona until we get FREE!” Has anyone but me asked why that person did not go to jail? Another sign demanded, “Citizenship for 11 million.” And citizenship means more Democrats to vote to guarantee all the freebies. And some Republicans are too stupid or cowardly to resist it. The pro-amnesty zealots have written what they call a “Bill of Rights for Undocumented Americans” in which they make their demands to U.S. officials.

They assume or presume that if people are present in the U.S. (even illegally) they have certain rights that must be recognized. They contend that since they are human, they have rights and, of course, that is true; but one of those rights is not U.S. citizenship. U. S. citizenship is a privilege not a right. Illegal aliens have the right to be treated fairly but firmly, even forcefully if they resist. They have a right to food and water but not the right to choose from a menu. They have a right to be photographed and placed in a data file; and upon their illegal return, they have a right to a cell. They have a right to be treated with dignity as they are escorted back to the border and not to be shoved too forcefully southward. But they don’t have the right to U. S. residence or citizenship.

Here’s an appropriate analogy: You have worked hard, saved, and finally built a nice home, not a palace, but a nice home. One evening a man walks in your unlocked door and asks for food and water. You are surprised and offended but kindly provide his request. As he eats at your table, he starts to watch television and moves to your favorite chair. You think he is being pushy but you want to be a thoughtful host. He stays all evening and when you suggest that it is time for you to go to bed, he asks where he can sleep. You don’t have a spare bedroom but he decides that he will take yours. After all, it’s a matter of humanity.

The next day he informs you that he likes the area and has decided to stay; however, you tell him that is impossible. You have your own life to live; but he demands that you accommodate him, even build an additional room for him. You are incensed but you do as he demands. Later that day he informs you that his religion requires special foods and he would like to have it prepared for the evening meal. He specifies no pork or shrimp and any beef or lamb must be prepared to exacting standards. He prefers to eat at 6:00, sharp.

He settles down in the new room you built at your expense but he tells you that he has some health problems and needs for you to get him a doctor–at your expense. Next, he is concerned about his future so he wants you to provide him a retirement program. He observes your frustration, anger, and resentment; and with a sinister smile, he suggests, “You should have stopped me at your front door.”

Only a fool would acquiesce to such free-loading tyrants. But that’s where the U.S. is with illegal aliens. They are here and they are demanding their “rights.” It is called their “Bill of Rights,” but it is only a start! They want any talk of building a wall stopped as well as talk about airline security since it is “chest-thumping rhetoric.” They arrogantly demand that everything is “on the table.” That means legal residency–citizenship.

The first demand is “Acknowledgment that we are already here, that we are human beings with a right to be, that our mere presence cannot be deemed illegal or our existence alien.” Well, just because they are humans does not justify legal existence in the U.S. Another demand is “Affirmation that we are to be treated with dignity and respect, not just because of who we are, but who you are.” Who I am determines how I react to freeloaders who don’t display much dignity, humility, gratefulness or respect for our laws.

Another demand is the “right to be presented with a path to citizenship… combined with interim deferment of all law-abiding Undocumented Americans against detention and deportation.” But there are problems in that criminals cannot become U.S. citizens. Plus, there are procedures that must be followed and requirements met. It is rather asinine for them to use the term law-abiding.

Still another demand is a “Guarantee of wage equality with a legal right to petition for wage theft or workplace mistreatment without jeopardizing our immigration status.” Maybe when pigs learn to fly in formation over the White House!

And another demand is “Assurance of humanitarian treatment, including medical care.” That just broke the bank.

It is my humble opinion that anyone who agrees with the above is incompetent, inconsiderate, or insane. It is similar to a lifeboat overloaded with survivors floating in the frigid Atlantic. The boat is just above water and a 300 pound man swims along and demands to be pulled aboard. Of course, everyone is compassionate, concerned, and contrite about his plight but they also know that if he is pulled on board, everyone drowns. He is left to drown because there was no other option.

Life requires very difficult decisions at times. This is one of those times: no more immigration for five years and no amnesty to law-breakers.

After all, the “boat” will only hold so many and if others climb on board, we will all go down with the ship.

No amnesty! It is divisive, destructive, dangerous, and deadly! And dumb!

The refugees are welcome as workers but not as citizens. By leaving the refugee camps, they better themselves as migrate workers but without any hope of citizenship from their “brother” Muslims. However, they have been and are being used as pawns to further the political agenda of their fellow Muslims. The workers are too dumb or fanatical to realize that fact.

Any honest person will recognize that there is no mention of the name “Palestina” in history before the Romans gave that new hated name to the province of Judea. This fact was admitted by Professor Philip Hitti, an Arab historian who declared, “There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not.” This fact is further confirmed by the Saudi Arabia Representative at the United Nations. “It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but Southern Syria.”

Fathi Hammad, minister of the interior and national security for Hamas, a recognized terror group, confirmed that “half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis.”

King Hussein of Jordan was the only Arab leader that showed any sympathy toward what is called the Palestinian Arabs. In 1960 he stated: “Since 1948 Arab leaders have approached the Palestine problem in an irresponsible manner….They have used the Palestine people for selfish political purposes. This is ridiculous and, I could say, even criminal.” The King was correct.

I started going to Jordan and the Middle East just after the 1967 Six-Day War (in which Israel sent the nine Muslim nations arrayed against them running for cover) and have been there 14 times. That doesn’t make me a Middle East expert but I became convinced that King Hussein, who died in 1999, was the most reasonable and kind Muslim leader in the Muslim world. He shocked the world when he recognized Israel as a nation in 1994 much to the chagrin of other Muslim leaders.

Unknown to the world, Hussein wanted peace with Israel and secretly negotiated with Israel’s leaders and U.S. officials. The private talks took place in London at the home of Hussein’s Jewish physician. In 1970, Hussein kicked the PLO (Arafat) out of Jordan! It must be remembered that Arafat, while leader of the PLO, was an Egyptian, not a “Palestinian”; but then, no one is a “Palestinian.”

I corresponded with Hussein in the late 70’s while I was a member of the Indiana House of Representatives. I also was a newscaster and commentator at a fledging Indianapolis television station. Since I went to the Middle East about every year I contacted the king about doing a television interview, and much to my surprise, he readily agreed. We set the date to coincide with my itinerary and I prepared for a “scoop.” But alas, it was not to be. I was too busy to see the king! No, my trip was rescheduled because of terrorist activities and the king was out of the country when I finally was there.

Syrian dictator Hafez Assad (father of the present dictator) told PLO leader Yasser Arafat, “You do not represent Palestine as much as we do. Never forget this one point: There is no such thing as a Palestinian people, there is no Palestinian entity, there is only Syria.” Don’t you think the media should finally get the point: Palestinian people do not exist except as a political ploy.

Zuhair Muhsin, military commander of the PLO and member of the PLO Executive Council, clearly said “There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity… yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel.” I wonder if the media are listening. Maybe they can’t understand plain English.

Even Chris Matthews of MSNBC can understand that statement from a Muslim terrorist–well, maybe not since Chris’ main activity is in his leg, not his brain.

It is political humbug. Those people who are identified as “Palestinians” are simply refugees from Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. However, there are millions of these people who were born in refugee camps and have been taught they are “Palestinians.” But they are not. In 1948 and the1950s, displaced Arabs lived in abject squalor in refugee camps (supposed to be temporary) under the custodial care of the United Nations. Muslim leaders did not care about them until it became politically expedient to do so. There are no Palestinian people, or history, or culture, or coinage, or language, or uncovered artifacts. Palestinians don’t exist and never have. Muslims and media that promote “Palestinians” are repeating a falsehood and resisting the facts.

It must be emphasized that God loves Arabs as much as He does Jews; however, Jews have a special place in His plan. His plan was to redeem man through the sacrificial death and resurrection of His Son. Those “Palestinian” leaders who spout hatred for every non-Muslim are loved by God even if men have trouble loving them.

Israel was originally called the “land of Canaan” (Gen. 12:5), the “land of Israel” (1 Sam. 13:19), and the “land of Judah” (Isa. 19:17). The first century Jews had a thing about being under the thumb of the Romans (or anyone) so they seethed in constant hatred and rebellion against their oppressors. The Roman Emperor Hadrian was understandably (from his totalitarian view) displeased with the rebellious Jews and wanted to erase the name of Israel and Judah from history and the face of the Earth. He decided to ridicule them by renaming the land of Israel, “Syria Palaestina” identifying them with their hated enemy, the Philistines. Whatever Rome called the land, the Jews were still Jews.

It is from the term “Philistines” that the name “Palestinians” has been taken. Emperor Hadrian knew that Philistines were ancient enemies of the Jews and therefore the emperor showed his hatred and spite by giving Israel a new obnoxious name. Philistines were not Arabs (and were in fact, invaders from Crete) and there is no mention of Palestine until the first century. Palestinians are not mentioned in the Bible or Koran because they did not exist until after 1967.

In 135 Hadrian put down a Jewish rebellion by killing 580,000 Jews, leveled 985 villages and 50 fortified towns. That is why Jewish writers always refer to him by saying, “may his bones be crushed.” Psalm 83:3-4 probably prophesied Hadrian’s oppressive actions: “They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.”

It didn’t work and never will work. Zachariah 2:8 warns: “For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.” Jews, even while in rebellion, are special to God. Jews are forever!

God promised (and warned) in Genesis 12:3: “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee.” Hitler and all Jew-haters discovered that verse to be literally true.” Earlier Americans learned that truth while Muslim nations have not. The results are obvious.

The “Palestinians” are bogus, a political show, and it’s time to pull the curtain on the charade.
