Subject: Super urgent REAL ID Trojan horse needs to be slain

DISCLAIMER: If you think the claims we make below are exaggerated or unfounded, you are free, as always, to sit this one out. But we hope you will remember our warnings. We won’t say “we told you so” when the things we predict below actually happen, but we do hope you will remember, when the time comes, that we did in fact warn you in advance.

Here’s what’s at stake . . .

The immigration controversy, and the legislation it has spawned, has become a Trojan Horse for imposing the REAL ID Act on all Americans, and entangling all of us in a bureaucratic nightmare of apocalyptic proportions.

Think for a moment about all the problems there have been with the terrorist watch list. Think about all the innocent Americans who have been placed on this list for no discernible reason, and the trouble people have had getting off this list. Now . . .

Imagine this same kind of bureaucratic nightmare expanding to entangle every job and business in America. This is what the REAL ID provisions of the new Senate Immigration Bill (S. 2611) will bring about.

The offending section is Title III which will require . . .

Every employer in America to pre-screen every worker for every job they’re ever offered for the rest of their lives, regardless of the size of the business, or the job.

The cost to the federal government ALONE is estimated by the feds themselves (so you know it’s low) at $11.7 billion per year.

The costs to businesses may be even higher. This will raise the cost of hiring new people and foster unemployment. But that’s only the beginning of the trouble.

Every American will have to produce a Real ID license to get a job – no exceptions. I think we can see where this is going . . .

Proving our identity, and proving that we are innocent, is about to become a requirement for living.

Taking this approach could certainly solve the problem of prison over-crowding, because under REAL ID deadbeat Moms and Dads, drunk drivers, jaywalkers, and anybody else who does anything wrong at any time, can all be punished simply and quickly, without prison, and perhaps without trial, simply by turning them into a non-person in terms of the required employment background check.

But let’s say you don’t ever do anything wrong, but you still end up with a black mark next to your name anyway, just like what has happened to people with the terrorist watch list? How long will it take, and how much will it cost, to get your name cleared?

And what if you can’t get your name cleared, simply because of bureaucratic inefficiency, like with the terrorist watch list?

Will you starve because you can’t get a job? And what about your family? Your kids?

Meanwhile, under these provisions, the black market gets a further government “price support” for fake IDs. Anything can be faked. If a thing can be made by government it can be forged by criminals. This includes birth certificates and other documents required to obtain a so-called REAL ID.

Politicians who talk about tamper proof ID cards are idiots babbling nonsense.

But it gets worse. The federal government is trying to box in the states that have rejected the REAL ID program by making all of the citizens of those states effectively illegal persons!

Plus, new federal funding for state programs will only be given to states that comply with REAL ID. The Feds are trying to both bribe and coerce the states into complying.

What’s worse, most of the Senate may not even realize these provisions are in the immigration bill, or what their impact would be. The bill is huge, and complicated. As of this writing it hasn’t even been printed yet, and it’s very unlikely the Senators will even read the bill before they pass it into law.

You’ve been warned. If you want to heed the warning please send a message to both the House and Senate telling them to strip out all REAL ID related provisions from any immigration bill they are considering. You can do so here.

Thank you for being a DC Downsizer.

I sent mine in.

With a “love note”.

*** begin quote ***

Please remove all provisions supporting the REAL ID Act from all pending immigration legislation.

My personal comment to you:

I’m against the the Real Id as an unconstitutional intrusion into our rights as outlined in the First, Fourth, and Tenth Amendments. It’s a monumentally bad idea. I’m also against the immigration “reform” which is nothing more than a gift to Democrat party, institutionalizing the “bad” immigration policy to date, and rewarding bad behavior.

Now some genius wants to use two bad ideas to sneak both of them by us. Don’t plan for my vote if either or both of these things come to pass.

Let’s end the dole, separate government from education, and, since there will be no more “free rides” for citizen or immigrants, you can repeal all those unconstituional immigration laws.

Let’s shine up the Statue of Liberty and get ready to receive guests. Working guests because Uncle Sap will have been retired. There’s no free lunch. For me, for you, or for any immigrant.

I will be watching what DC does very carefully and telling anyone who will listen.

The Anti-Federalists on Standing Armies
by Laurence M. Vance

Laurence M. Vance is a freelance writer and an adjunct instructor in accounting at Pensacola Junior College in Pensacola, FL.

***Begin Quote***

There are over 700 U.S. military bases on foreign soil. There are U.S. troops stationed in 159 different regions of the world in every corner of the globe. Foreign military bases and the stationing of troops abroad are for offensive military actions, not defensive ones. U.S. troops need to come home and then go home. But only a change in U.S. foreign policy can stop the evil that is America’s standing army.

***End Quote***

You have to admire how the dead old white guys very accurately predicted the mischief that the gooferment could get into if they had an army to play with. We should take away their toys.

FROM A LETTER TO THE LOCAL PRAVDA

***Begin Quote***

It’s no secret that I think gooferment skoolz are a bad idea. This, and all the other school bus accidents, are just one symptom of the consequences. It’s a bad idea that is why the gooferment has to FORCE us to do it!

(If it was a good idea, it could be voluntary and everyone would agree to do it.)

(Note: Gooferment is used because no one can name a government program that works, at all, in any way. Let alone one that is effective or efficient.)

Why is the gooferment running schools? Why does a parent hand over the most precious thing they have to the custody of the state for a majority of their waking hours? Why do I have to pay to educate your child in subjects and a manner that neither of us agrees with?

Anyone care to guess why American “education” is heading to the bottom on the international scale? Anyone care to guess why costs head for the moon while results set new lows? Anyone care to guess why the children think they are in prison, bored to tears, and learn nada that’s important? Anyone care to guess why the gooferment can’t keep drugs out of their prisons … oh I meant skoolz? (You can see the similarity!)

No, when you’re in LA with a map of New York, you have to recognize that the 415 doesn’t go by the Empire State Building. So to, when you’re in an Education Mess, you have to see the exit.

Separation of Gooferment from Education!

Please ignore the self serving anguished cry from the Teacher’s Union, Politicians, Bureaucrats, and all that make their living from the dole that we call “public education”. (It’s neither “public”; nor “education”.)

Let’s do the right thing. Free the taxpayer slaves. Open the school doors and let the children go!

Does anyone think that children will NOT get an education if the State doesn’t mandate it? Maybe they might even learn something that their parents want them to learn, if the State wasn’t in the way.

Hopefully, we can throw away a “wrong map” before we hurt ourselves.

After tornado, FEMA disarms town, turns away help
By Michael Hampton
Posted: May 18, 2007 4:34 pm

***Begin Quote***

On Friday, May 4, an F5 tornado wiped the town of Greensburg, Kan., almost entirely off the map. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, along with the National Guard and local police from all over Kansas, then systematically kept out relief workers while they went house to house disarming the residents.

***AND***

FEMA’s top priority going in was clear. It was not to help people, but to establish control and cow the population. These, of course, are the same things they did during Hurricane Katrina, with much more disastrous results.

***End Quote***

Still think that Katrina was an abberation?

Sorry, no.

The gooferment is “practicing”. If they get a big enough disaster, then we are going to get never ending martial law and tyranny. Followed by the camps.

So when do we stand up and fight?

I’m a fat old guy. No much I can do, but it’s coming.

Economic crash, bird flu, terrorist incident, or who knows what the excuse will be. As soon as they get the chance, they will.

We need to stop them now.

Clinton Aide Forfeits Law License In Justice Probe
– Washington Times

***Begin Quote***

Samuel R. Berger, the Clinton White House national security adviser who was caught taking highly classified documents from the National Archives, has agreed to forfeit his license to practice law.

***End Quote***

If I was the Grand Inquisitor of the Spanish Inquisition, then I’d want to interrogate all sorts of people about this.

Why?

What did Berger do?

I, of course, suspect that he was covering for Bill Clinton. (Disclaimer: I don’t like politicians of EITHER of the duplicitous duopoly!) Or worse.

Could there have been something in the ORIGINAL documents that would not be pleasant for Bill or Hillary?

Maybe we’ll never know. Maybe there will be something in the future that Berger has to “buy” his way out of by coming clean. Maybe a “copy” will show up from some one’s file somewhere. Maybe it will come out some how some where.

Argh!

Carry Permit Holder Praised For Helping Stop Gunman
– Times Daily

***Begin Quote***

Chris Chappell was in a Bessemer, Ala., bank getting change on the way to his job when gunshots rang out. He drew a gun for which he has a Right-to-Carry permit, took cover by his sport utility vehicle and alerted deputies who came up. “It`s obvious he played a key role in keeping the guy there until we could get there,” said Jefferson County Sheriff`s Sgt. Randy Christian. “It`s a great testament of someone willing to take action.”

***End Quote***

Why can’t we all be “carry permit holders”? Isn’t that the essence of the Second Amendment?

Sen. Kennedy Defends Immigration Bill
May 18, 8:13 AM (ET)
By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS

***Begin Quote***

The bill, which conservatives immediately attacked as an “amnesty” program, would provide a pathway to citizenship for some 12 million immigrants now in the United States illegally. It also would mandate tougher border security and workplace enforcement and provide for a guest worker program.

***End Quote***

Of course, Senator kennedy would defend this nonsense. The Democrats win big. California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida become permanent “Democratic” states. And, the Republicans and hugely unpopular Administration will also hail it as a great victory.

For who?

Why the advocates for big government! That’s who, silly peon.

They’ll need more forms, more checkers, more government powers, of course.

Bottom line, this does nothing to end the incentives for immigrants and “citizens” to be on the dole. Business, citizen, and immigrant alike are feasting on the backs of fewer and fewer workers.

This doesn’t do anything but accelerate the careening out-of-control gooferment over the proverbial cliff. When we hit the canyon floor below, there’s going to be a lot of breakage.

What we need, is a President Ron Paul, to stop the trip.

Baring that, we need: an end to the dole for EVERYONE; honest money; separation of Gooferment form Education; open borders; end the war on drugs; and reduce the Gooferment to a much smaller Constitutional government again.

Until that happens, this deal will solve nothing but how to get more Democrats elected.

By the way, where does an illegal immigrant get the 5k$ to pay the “tax” to get a z visa?
