Who Knew That The Bush Administration Was So Politically Correct? Actually, When It Comes to ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, We All Know.

The Bush administration is so darn politically correct that it can't even bring itself to use the word "illegal" in a Census Bureau press release dated December 27. The population of the US is expanding, you see, way in excess of legal immigration, but the Census Bureau, an arm of the Department of Commerce, doesn't want to notice.

Here's the key sentence:

Meanwhile, net international migration is expected to add one person every 30 seconds. The result is an increase in the total U.S. population of one person every 13 seconds.

Got that? No mention of the word "illegal" in there. Illegality--violating American Sovereignty--is just not a concept that registers on this federal government of ours.

And you wonder why the Bush administration is so uninterested in dealing with illegal immigration? Answer: Because the Bush administration doesn't even recognize it as a problem!

Sovereignty as a Bipartisan Concern--a Democrat Speaks Out

Fred Siegel is a member in good standing of the Democratic Leadership Council; that puts him at the right end of the Democratic Party, but it also puts him in the vital center of American politics.

So this smart piece, published last July, is still required reading for Sovereigntists, especially those who lean toward the Democrats. If Eliot Spitzer , for example, had been paying better attention to this sort of discussion--Siegel lives in Brooklyn, this piece was published in The New York Daily News, the traditional working-class voice of NYC--the New York governor wouldn't be finding himself in the trouble that he's in.

Here's the key passage in Siegel's piece:

Both left and right are sensitive to the loss of American sovereignty. The right is fearful of turning over part of American foreign policy to the moral swamp at the UN, and the left worries about the ways in which the World Trade Organization, which seems to benefit China more than the U.S., limits our ability to protect American workers.

The Democrats, and to a lesser extent the Republicans, are increasingly sensitive, at a time of vast new fortunes but slow income gains for the middle class, to growing disparities in wealth - symbolized by the big money being made on Wall Street by international private-equity companies whose benefits for the overall economy are questionable.

Think, Democrats! Economic nationalism is one of your best cards. Don't throw it away to get an extra million or two from hedge-funders. In the final analysis, it's votes that win elections, not dollars.

Here's a draft Sovereignty Pledge:


We the citizens of the United States of America do hereby pledge to preserve and protect the Sovereignty of our flag and the republic for which it stands.

We believe that Sovereignty is the essence of American independence and greatness. It is not possible to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, or secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our posterity—unless we protect our Sovereignty against all enemies and threats, foreign and domestic.

So whereas the Sovereignty of our nation is immediately threatened by under-defended borders, we must strengthen our border defenses, so that all Americans can once again be secure in their own country.

And whereas the Sovereignty of our Nation is threatened by amnesty for those who have violated our immigration laws, we must prevent such amnesty, which would undermine the rule of law and encourage further Sovereignty-eroding law-breaking in the future. While America must remain a friend to all the peace- and liberty-loving nations of the world, we must enshrine the principle, now and forever, that everyone who lives in America, or visits America, abides here as the result of a transparent and fully legal process.

Therefore, I, ___, pledge to defend the Sovereignty of the United States of America.

Always faithful to our history, our Constitution, and our fellow citizens, I join with others to make a solemn declaration in regard to America’s Sovereignty: This we’ll defend.
