The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Cohen). Under the Speaker's announced policy of January 18, 2007, the gentleman from California (Mr. [Dana] Rohrabacher) is recognized for 60 minutes.
Mr. ROHRABACHER. Mr. Speaker, today was May Day, and there were demonstrations across America in favor of a more open immigration policy, an immigration policy that I might add has already resulted in 15 to 20 million illegals being present in our society. The American people need to pay very close attention to this issue.
Several weeks ago, the President of the United States took advantage with Congress being out of session to give a major immigration policy speech down along the border in Arizona. Flanked by dozens of border patrol officers, President Bush stuck to the usual script, securing the border, yes, but first a guest worker program must be set up that includes giving Social Security benefits to illegals, to those people who have been working here illegally, and of course, part of the program must be to legalize the status of those millions of illegal immigrants who already reside in our country.
I have observed in my 30 years in Washington that when a President initiates a major policy speech on a controversial issue while Congress is in recess, it usually is because what he is advocating is indefensible and that he is seeking to minimize criticism.
While the President was posturing with the border patrol, we Members were back in our districts listening to the pleas of our constituents. The American people are begging their government to save their families from the onslaught of illegal immigration.
Instead of meeting with America's elite who live behind gates and work at corporate boardrooms and whose kids attend private schools, President Bush should be talking to people who are watching their children's public schools, their community hospitals and the security of their own neighborhoods being brought down by a massive flow of foreigners, illegally establishing themselves in our country.
If this President pushes through his so-called comprehensive immigration plan, which will legalize the status of those who have broken our laws and are in this country illegally, America's current 15 to 20 million illegal residents within a decade will mushroom to another 40 to 50 million.
Wake up, America. We are about to lose our country. Wake up, America. The President and Congress are not watching out for you.
The comprehensive immigration legislation that is being bandied around town by this President and by Members of Congress will be a green light to 100 million people throughout the world to do anything they can do to get to our country because we do not have the will to stop them. No matter how impenetrable the defense, no matter how diligent the border patrol, there will be no stopping them. Give them benefits, give them jobs, give them health care, give them every right to the treasures that belong to the citizens and legal immigrants who are in our country and they will come from overseas, and there will be nothing that we can do to stop them because we have given them the greatest incentive to come here, even though they are breaking our laws in doing so.
Tens of millions of new illegals are bringing down the wages of our middle class, some carrying disease right into our schools and communities, some criminals, many in need of Social Security, education and health benefits, all to be taken, of course, from the resources that are dedicated to Americans so that our American people and legal immigrants will have these resources available to them. That is where all of that is going to come from. Who is going to pay the price? The American people will pay the price, not the American elite, the American people.
It's only the beginning. Bush wants open borders, unified social security, the cheapest labor possible for businesses and corporations, and a North American Union. What he can't accomplish through congress he will attempt to do by signed agreement through the authority he thinks NAFTA gives him. He'll even bypass the senate for approval if he can get away with it.
We are facing a huge threat to our national sovereignty.

Yes we are. The USA is in Mortal Danger....
You know, no matter what Bush and the Corporate-controlled US Senate want, they have to go through the PEOPLE-controlled House of Representatives...
Only problem is that The House is not controlled by corporate-owned Democrats.... we'll have to wait and see. I'll keep calling DC daily to put pressure on these people to shun ANY amnesty!!

This should be required reading for every single American. It is quite long, but it is a compelling read.
The bushes are nothing but SELF-SERVING politicians, caring nothing about what the American people want. Just look at Daddy Bush and his association with the royal Saudi families, brother jeb's association with the cuban mafia. George w is setting up his retirement to work with the Mexican elite to promote the goals that they want for mexico. If this includes allowing easier entry and citizenship for illegals, then george w will do anything that he can for the cause.
