It seems as though the Immigration Department may be having one last fling at enforcing immigration laws in this country before the new President, be it McAmnesty or Barack “Born-in-Kenya” Obama, throws open the borders and simply lets the Mexican stampede trample us and what remains of our economy.

A recent news article reports that “Federal officials say nearly 600 suspected illegal immigrants were detained in a raid on a manufacturing plant in southern Mississippi, making it the largest such sweep in the country. A spokeswoman says more than 100 of those caught up in Monday’s raid on Howard Industries were released based on humanitarian concerns, mostly because they have children. Most of the rest were transferred to a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Jena, La. Nine 17-year-olds were transferred to the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.”

“Refugees” from what? Third World poverty? Even if some of these Third World illegals face repression at home, doesn’t every human being have a certain responsibility to try to fix their home country’s problems rather than run away from them (and invariably become a refugee in a rich White nation)? Would the US even exist today if George Washington and Thomas Jefferson fled to France instead of risking their lives by fighting a revolution? (We need to change refugee laws so that political refugees can only claim asylum in a nation with the same standard of living as their home country. That should eliminate 99 percent of the so-called “political” refugees overnight.)

The Mississippi raid was one of a series of recent high-profile crackdowns on illegal immigrants. In May, officials swept into the Agriprocessors kosher meatpacking plant in Iowa and detained 400 workers. That was the special kosher slaughterhouse owned by Orthodox Jews from New York, but of course that little aspect of the matter has now vanished down the Memory Hole.

After November 2008, or certainly by the inauguration of the new President in January, it is reasonably certain that even these dog and pony shows staged by the Immigration department will quietly cease. Ironically, even these token raids have a strong deterrent effect on illegal immigration, The illegals are fleeing states like Arizona and Oklahoma, where the state government is making things a wee bit uncomfortable for them, and scurried over to Texas, which is still wide open, or in many cases they are actually moving back to Mexico, where they belong.

White Americans have actually gained a little bit of ground over the past year of the so-called “crackdown,” but after November it’s all going to be lost again because of our inability to select decent Presidential candidates and run an honest nationwide election that does not result in either a senile old whore for special interests or a quota-hire minority entering the Oval Office. We had about 20 million illegals invading the US while Bush Junior was in office –bombing other countries while he left our southern border wide open. Who knows how much damage will be done in the next four years?
