NEW: "Illegal aliens have a better lobby than U.S. military veterans" |
Illegal aliens have a better lobby than U.S. military veterans

Excerpts:
"Since 2003, the Veterans Administration has had a medical care eligibility
means test for American military veterans. The American Journal of Public
Health reported last month that more than one million vets have no insurance
or access to VA medical care.
But, because of a federal mandate, American taxpayers - including veterans -
routinely pay for no-cost medical care for people who reside in the United
States illegally."
"On Jan. 17, 2003, the Veterans Administration changed its enrollment
guidelines and began to ask detailed questions of the U.S. military veterans
who apply for their promised medical benefits after that date. Questions like,
"What was your income last year?", "How many dependents do you have?" and "Is
your need for treatment related to your past military service?"
Vets who earn more than about $34,000 a year without a military-related
medical problem are put into "Category 8g" ... and denied the promised free
routine health care.
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, emergency medical care
for those formerly in the service of their nation in Category 8g is granted
"on a humanitarian emergency basis and (they) are charged the applicable
tortuously liable billing rate for services provided."
The illegal aliens who are demanding immunity from the equal application of
American border, immigration and employment laws have no problem qualifying
for free medical treatment.
No means test, no questions asked. No bills."
"In 1986, the year the federal government rewarded about three million illegal
aliens with a "one-time" amnesty, it also passed into law the Emergency
Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, which guarantees no-cost medical
treatment in American emergency rooms to anyone, regardless of ability to pay
or immigration status. Or both*."
[*Comment by GWA: In this day and age of extreme levels of litigiousness --
and not surprisingly, quick-buck-artist immigration lawyers constitute a
powerful and treasonous pro-illegal-alien lobby -- no doctor in his right mind
would refuse to treat (the cost be damned!) any illegal alien who shows up at
the ER with merely a sore throat or bad cold, for hypothetically that sore
throat or bad cold COULD developinto pneumonia. Likewise, that scrape an
illegal alien sustained in a drunken fight COULD develop into gangrene etc.
The result? THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER BECOMES THE HEALTH CARE PROVIDER FOR
MEXICO'S ULTRA-RICH ELITES, SUCH AS "WORLD'S RICHEST HUMAN" CARLOS SLIM!]

WHAT WOULD THE FOUNDING FATHERS DO? ...
If the representatives of the people betray their constituents,
there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that
original right of self-defense which is paramount to all
positive forms of government ... The citizens must rush
tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system,
without resource; except in their courage and
despair ...
The natural strength of the people in a large community, in
proportion to the artificial strength of the government, is greater
than in a small, and of course more competent to a struggle
with the attempts of the government to establish a tyranny ...
the people, without exaggeration, may be said to be entirely
the masters of their own fate.
-- Alexander Hamilton
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of
arms.
-- Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the people to retain the
right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to
protect themselves against tyranny in government.
-- Thomas Jefferson
As our enemies have found we can reason like men,
so now let us show them we can fight like men also.
-- Thomas Jefferson
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on
certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive.
-- Thomas Jefferson
The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of
any government, and to protect its free expression should
be our first object.
-- Thomas Jefferson
We in America do not have government by the majority.
We have government by the majority who participate.
-- Thomas Jefferson
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of
good conscience to remain silent.
-- Thomas Jefferson
Every government degenerates when trusted to the
rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are
its only safe depositories.
-- Thomas Jefferson
In matters of style, swim with the current; in
matters of principle, stand like a rock.
-- Thomas Jefferson
Don't talk about what you have done or what you are
going to do.
-- Thomas Jefferson
Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case
with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every
free state.
-- Thomas Jefferson
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act!
Action will delineate and define you.
-- Thomas Jefferson
Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand
on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that
from which they draw their gains.
-- Thomas Jefferson
I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our
monied corporations which dare already to challenge
our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance
to the laws of our country.
-- Thomas Jefferson
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous
to our liberties than standing armies.
-- Thomas Jefferson
Experience demands that man is the only animal which
devours his own kind, for I can apply no milder term to
the general prey of the rich on the poor.
-- Thomas Jefferson
Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms
of government those entrusted with power have, in time,
and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
-- Thomas Jefferson
"If the American people ever allow private banks to
control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then
by deflation, the banks...will deprive the people of all
property until their children wake-up homeless on the
continent their fathers conquered... The issuing power
should be taken from the banks and restored to the
people, to whom it properly belongs."
-- Thomas Jefferson
If ye love wealth better than freedom, the tranquility of
servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from
us in peace.
We ask not your counsels or arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands that feed you.
May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity
forget that ye were our countrymen.
-- Samuel Adams

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an
irate, tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of
freedom in the minds of men."
-- Samuel Adams
"Unfortunately, the majority of illegal aliens who are here
are engaged in criminal activity. Identity theft, use of
fraudulent social security numbers and green cards, tax
evasion, driving without licenses represent some of the
crimes that are engaged in by the majority of illegal aliens
on a daily basis merely to maintain and hide their illegal
status. In addition, violent crime and drug distribution and
possession is also prevalent among illegal aliens. Over 25%
of today's federal prison population are illegal aliens. In some
areas of the country, 12% of felonies, 25% of burglaries and
34% of thefts are committed by illegal aliens."
-- Testimony of District Attorney John M. Morganelli before
the House Subcommittee on immigration, Border, Security
and Claims
