There's a newspeak term for illegal aliens in this country, one that frankly, I'm glad to see. It's a word that shows the TRUE intentions of the illegal immigration movement, and shows that assimilation, unity, and citizenship are NOT the goals of these people, but rather conquest and imperialism.

The term is "nuevo pioneers", and it raises the acrid taste of bile in the back of my throat.

Think about it. How do we view pioneers. We view them as settlers to undiscovered lands, as builders, as civilizing influences. The implication is that the lands they are settling are unsettled, uncivilized.

While not all illegals are Mexican, a strong percentage are. Mexico is a third world nation, as are Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and other nations with a high percentage of ILLEGAL ALIENS who come to this country and settle. These ILLEGAL ALIENS are not the best of the best, they're not the builders, they're not the innovators. They are the sickly, the poor, the slothful, and, most alarmingly, the criminal. While there are a few of their number who may achieve something, most, sadly, will be fortunate to being their families close to the poverty line.

I contended long ago that there was a movement among the illegals called "Republico del Norte" that aims to reclaim America's southwest, land that Mexico, in particular, is still embittered about losing. I was shouted down by most as a racist, but propagandist language like this would indicate that I am not as far off the mark as they'd figured. And, more frighteningly, that the movement is not as extremist as even I had thought it to be. If a suburban Texas housewife can subscribe to it and the propaganda of its proponents, then how many others are there out there who hold the same views but don't speak them for fear of identification?

I am all for providing opportunity. But providing it the RIGHT way. Any ILLEGAL ALIEN caught with falsified identification should be charged with a felony and deported immediately upon conviction, with a permanent bar to reentry. Let's give all the opportunity in the world to people who want to help BUILD our nation, but let's give NOTHING to those who would destroy it, these "nuevo pioneers". The proof of their ingenuity lies in their blighted cities, their low GDP, their high crime rate and the mass exodus of their people. Let's not let them bring their "ingenuity" to OUR shores.
