Justice Is No Longer Blind!

A Dissertation On Illegal Aliens.

This video is so far beyond comprehensible I feel like I am watching a "B" scifi movie!
It shows the Governor of Arizona standing next to a federally posted sign, 80 miles from the Mexican border. The sign warns US citizens of the danger of traveling any further due to the abundance of unlawful behavior.

US Constitution Article I section 8
"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect Taxes... to ... provide for the common Defence...
To Provide for calling forth the Militia to ... repel Invasions;..."
Article I section 10
"No state shall ..... engage in War, unless actually invaded..."
Article 4 section 4
"The United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion;..."
Bill of Rights Article II
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

So I suppose we should look up Invasion;
Websters Collegiate Dictionary 5th edition 1948
INVASION:
see invade.
1. Act of invading; incursion of an army for conquest or plunder.
2. The incoming, or first attack, of any thing hurtful.
INVADE:
1. To enter for conquest or plunder.
2. To infringe; or encroach on; as, to invade the rights of the people.
3. To spread over injuriously and progressively; as, gangrene invades healthy tissue.

So lets look at this with reason and logic;
Foreign nationals enter into the United States unlawfully, in such volume and to such an extent, that our nation within 80 miles of our border is too dangerous to enter by our people.
If this is not an invasion, please provide what additional factors are missing?

Now in less that a single page, I have laid out the obligation of the Feds to act with diligence at the US/ Mexican border, with the authority to call and pay the militia to do it.
and in the case the Feds are unable or unwilling to perform their obligation, the State has the authority to do ALL that is necessary to stop invasion, INCLUDING DECLARING WAR!

"The most sacred of the duties of a government [is] to do equal and impartial justice to all citizens."
Thomas Jefferson, Note in Destutt de Tracy, 1816

The law in America was created impartial.
We have a statue called “Lady Justice” which represents this important fact.
The elements of this statue that represents our form of Law, is a balancing scale in one hand, a sword in the other, and a blindfold over her eyes.
These important elements of our law are a clear visual explanation of our justice system.
The sword represents the authority and power to punish.
The balancing scale represents judgment is justly determined with equality given to both sides of an issue.
The Blindfold represents impartiality in determining that judgment.
As important as the authority and the equal balance in judgment are, the blindfold is almost more important.
If the law is blind, it cannot alter the balance of the scale due to empathy, or compassion, or bribes, or loyalties, or status, or any other variable which might “tip the scale” to an otherwise unequal judgment.
In America we call this “Blind Justice” which is what each American has a right to expect.
In this way we are all aware of the application expected. The law is clear and definite and just.
This is one powerful element that has made America so honorable among the nations.

The solution to the problem only becomes complicated when empathy, or compassion, or “favors” take precedence over the law.

This next video is such an example;
It shows what the “war” conditions are like on the “front lines” at the border itself.
What I find amazing is not the conflict, but this officer's apparent imagination that he is actually accomplishing anything. He speaks of the Mexicans willing to “sacrifice” large numbers of people for the success of a few. But just what are they sacrificing?
The Border Guards are not permitted to shoot the invaders, or harm them in anyway.
Even if they are caught, they pay no fine and at worst, endure a short confinement before being sent back to Mexico.
So while our border patrol agents are virtually powerless to inflict any form of consequence to the aliens, they daily are threatened with bodily harm at best, and potential loss of life.

Somehow evaluating the legality of illegal entry, our government spends large sums of time and money attempting to determine the reason for the violation.
Is it drug smuggling?
Is is Human trafficking?
Is it to inflict harm?
Is it looking for a job?
Is is picking wildflowers?
And on and on.


Each of these factors adds a degree of severity to the violation, which must be determined, evaluated, and judged. With each evaluation comes the pleas of woe;
I need the money,
My mom is sick,
A border agent shot my brother,
I lost my job,
I like those flowers.

This is justice with eyes wide open.
And it immediately gets very complicated.
Only in recent years has American's begun to confuse our "Blind Justice" representation, with the Greek goddess Justitia, who never was declared blindfolded.

With this confusion due to ignorance, comes this un-American, European justice, a very different animal all together!


But Blind justice has a clear determination;
Did you cross the border illegally?
If so, Thus and such is the punishment pre-set by the law.
Simple, quick and effective.

"Born in other countries, yet believing you could be happy in this, our laws acknowledge, as they should do, your right to join us in society, conforming, as I doubt not you will do, to our established rules. That these rules shall be as equal as prudential considerations will admit, will certainly be the aim of our legislatures, general and particular."
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Hugh White, May 2, 1801

Where is this equality in the rules today?

Now lets add yet another factor to our present illegal immigration troubles.
I am not joking.

The man who sits in the seat as President of the United States is very probably an illegal alien.
1) He has failed to provide a lawful birth certificate.
2) Because he maintains his claims to be natural born, he does not possess the proper immigration papers which would at least make him legal.
3) There can be little doubt that Mr. Obama is not only an alien (disallowing him to be the President) but it appears now clear that he is actually an illegal alien himself!

No wonder he is as active to stop the flow of illegal aliens from invading our soil,
as he is in stopping the flow of BP oil from invading our beaches!
