A couple dozen Tea Partiers, including Carla Bonney, will head to Arizona for Memorial Day to participate in a "buycott" and show their solidarity with sane immigration policy and states' rights.
As honest people know, when you have the facts, your opponents have no choice but to resort to ad hominem attacks, distractions, and attempts to silence them.
So Tea Partiers are called racist when they support a law that does little more than reaffirm existing federal laws--laws that are being willfully ignored--by people who haven't even read it.
However, race has nothing to do with it--it's a matter of the rule of law. The Democratic Party, which expects millions of illegal immigrants and their families to be future Democratic voters, and the Republican Party, which historically has been scared to death to do anything about the porous border because they don't want to be called racists, have let the problem fester and it's already permanently transformed the country for the worse.
This week, the U.S. Government released a warning that terrorists may be attempting to sneak across the southern border. Anyone with common sense knew that this was a possibility years ago, Factor in the drugs and some hardened criminals crossing the border, and you have a public policy problem of epic proportions.
It manifests itself in right here in Ventura County, where gangs have taken over neighborhoods and shootings or stabbings are daily headlines.
We have out-of-control political correctness and people that are too willing to play the race card to attempt to shut down any attempt to solve the problem to partially blame for the violence, drugs, and social upheaval we're experiencing.
