UNITED WE MUST STAND

As Americans we need to stand united against what is happening to our nation. We cannot let our elected officials get away with voting for their interest instead of what the American people want. If we put them into office with our votes we must hold them accountable if they do not vote the will of the people. Our government was established with the basis of for the people by the people. We cannot sit back anymore and let the special interest groups and large corporation dictate the will of many. I truly believe Americans our people built on strength and common sense. We have endured much through the years and have always been known to unite when there is a threat against our nation. We again can unite to make what was great in the past, great again.

After 9/11 the atmosphere changed greatly here in America when we were attack and many lost lives. We were a nation in shock but also united to stand up and fight against anyone who attacked us. Fast-forward to today and that shock and sense of united seems not to be. None of us have forgotten about 9/11 but in essence the moment of sheer shock has faded to a memory. I am sure if asked any American would say, we need to fight terrorism and make our borders secure and our nation safe. But I say look around because today are borders are not secure by any means and what has the government done to make us safe? Sure we have the Patriot Act and Homeland Security and still our borders are not safe. If the borders were secure we would not have so many illegal immigrants getting into our country and now Al Qaeda has found this hole in our security and have smuggled some of their terrorist into our country via Mexico. Why is this still happening? Why as Americans do we let our elected officials get away with not securing our borders? And why as Americans do we let President Zedillo from Mexico in our country to unite legal and illegal immigrants for Mexico’s sake, where he said to U.S. citizens of Mexican decent, “You are Mexicans, Mexicans who live north of the border, you owe loyalty to Mexico, not Uncle Sam.” Where was our government when President Zedillo made that statement?

There is no debate on the subject when it comes to our borders, they have to be shut down and locked up tight. Anyone here that is not legal must be deported or face charges and there can be no gray area on the subject. But yet we have elected officials debating and wanting to give citizenship to people here illegally or a pathway to citizenship. How Americans can even tolerate this is, is beyond me. There are some officials who want to give driver licenses to people that are here illegally as well as let them attend schools and receive government money. Plus our government as taken the 14th amendment and construed the true meaning to let anchor babies be considered American citizens. Now how can you tell me they are doing their part to secure our country and keep us safe when our nation is being flooded by undocumented individuals that they no nothing about and what their intentions are here in America? How are we any safer now then we were before 9/11 and how do these officials keep getting elected back into office when they do nothing to secure our borders?

As strong Americans that I know we are, we can send and be a very powerful voice if we stand united and let our government know we are not going to take what they are dishing out to us. Our government has been playing us for fools’ way too long and we need to put the brakes on this unacceptable behavior. No more should we let them get away with empty campaign promises and we must make them vote the will of the people and not what they think is best for us. We need leaders that are going to secure our borders and end illegal immigration once and for all and give America back to it’s people instead of selling off America to foreign interest. We must bring back pride into being an American citizen again instead of just giving it away to anyone that can sneak past our overburden border patrol. America is being invaded and we have a government that entertains the idea as being acceptable and we as a nation need to let them know just how unacceptable it is. I can only hope as Americans we wake up to what is happening to our country and stop what is happening before it is too late. Like what was said in the movie, The Patriot, “We must stay the course” and as Americans we must unite and stay the course!
