Balkanization and Dissolution

If United States Senator Jon Kyl (Republican, Arizona) is to be believed, he reports that he was told in a private meeting with President Barack Hussein Obama that there would be no serious effort at enforcing America's borders until comprehensive immigration reform is passed because any tightening of the borders would slow the impetus for what is to essentially become amnesty for illegal aliens. The President's spokesmouths subsequently deny the conversation with Kyl, who I trust more than Obama, and the gist of what Kyl said happened and what the President said, does indeed reflect the position on immigration that Obama has enunciated in the past. Simply put, Obama backs a form of amnesty with those who entered the country unlawfully being allowed to jump the line of those who have endured the arduous process of legal entry and perhaps atone for sneaking in by paying a "fine". Obama sees these interlopers as a large portion of the voting block for Democrats in the future. Obama even works to thwart Arizona's effort to protect her citizens from the criminal invasion by suing the state for its recently passed law to check the immigration status of those detained by Arizona police. Arizona has become one of the most violent areas in the country with Phoenix becoming America's kidnapping capital, second in the world in abductions only to Bogota, Colombia. More than street crime and manipulation of outcomes of future elections is at stake with increasingly wider parts of the US border region becoming no go areas to American citizens as human and drug traffickers take over. Coyotes, who smuggle in aliens, easily make their charges pay exorbitant sums, work their way out of debt they are told that they owe for being brought in through what is essentially servitude, and the coyotes have used those they lead across the border to smuggle narcotics, willingly or otherwise. Then there is the National Council of La Raza and similar brown pride organizations that wish to reunite the American Southwest with Mexico, urging that the territory won by the US in the Mexican-American War and gained through the Gadsden Purchase be liberated by Mexico. This Reconquista Movement has Marxist roots and unites certain Latin radicals and drug and human traffickers with the most unsavory anti-American elements now suggested by North Carolina US GOP Representative Sue Myrick to include the Iranian-proxy terrorist organization Hezbollah. While many illegal aliens are here only to take increasingly scarce US jobs and send substantial portions of what they earn here abroad, many make little effort to assimilate, familiarize themselves with the native tongue, and some commit identity theft, nuisance and road offenses and all too often aliens, drunk or drugged or not understanding road signs composed in our English language, cause carnage on our streets. The combined menace of costly minor infractions and life-taking crimes along with the darker implications of national division, common cause with terrorists and traffickers stealing across the porous boundary, and the ongoing drug war in Mexico are all compelling arguments not to wait for comprehensive immigration reform but to secure US borders now.
