"Security Blanket Has Holes In It!"

Remember when you were a kid and you would pull the bed covers over your head; remember the security of that safe enclosure? It is good to feel safe. When I first got my dog "Simon", he was very insecure, as he had been abused. He would run from everyone who came into the house. Later, as he became more secure, he would bark furiously and then jump in my lap for protection (what a coward!). Simon now barks at every dog he sees; he's not vicious, he is looking for more playmates, he is now very social. Simon knows no one in our house will harm him, and he will want for nothing; he is secure.

I live in Middle-America, the heartland. I'm in a mid-sized town with a university. We enjoy our town, I know many of the police officers and public servants; they are all fine people and love our community. I see my friends and neighbors when shopping or at school functions. No matter where you go, you will probably see someone you know! We feel safe and secure in our town. Small towns, in the center of America, certainly have a "security blanket attitude"; we believe no one will bother us.

I know I have readers in urban areas and border states. Their attitude is probably a little different from those of us who reside in small towns. Most of them have experienced the anxiety of not feeling secure in their home cities. They know what it is to have their lives and homes threatened by the invasion of criminal illegal aliens.

Last week, federal officials announced the arrests of 370 criminal illegal aliens in 10 Mid-Western states: that's right, middle-America. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Nebraska and Ohio; the center of our nation is no longer isolated from this infection of crime from illegals. Those that were arrested are only a tiny fraction of the number of criminal illegal aliens that enter our nation on a daily basis. Some of these people are hardened felons, who enter America with the intent of committing crimes of all types: drugs, robbery, rape and murder are on the "rap sheets" of many of these "uninvited guests".

This is no longer a "big city" problem. As you can now see, no segment of our nation is immune from this "infection". We have a central government that is more concerned with litigation against sovereign states and law enforcement officials than it is concerned with the lives and property of legal citizens of the United States of America. We have a President whose justice department that says to the U.N. that Arizona could be guilty of "human rights violations" against criminal illegal aliens. Am I the only person who finds this ludicrous? How has our justice system become so perverted? Honest citizens take a back seat to the "rights" of criminal illegal aliens. Why in the world are we going to the United Nations to castigate the state of Arizona? Mr. Obama owes Arizona a gigantic apology, as he does to the rest of America! Look out Middle America; you don't have a "security blanket" anymore. If you like preferred rights for criminal illegal aliens, then maintain the status quo in November. If you feel differently, you know what to do at the ballot box!
