Border Patrol Secrets By Thomas J. Fitton August 2, 2005
According to explosive documents uncovered by Judicial Watch, at a time when the United States faces an illegal immigration crisis and a war on terrorism, Bush administration officials directed Border Patrol agents to mislead the American people by withholding information about a marked increase in illegal immigration caused by President Bush's immigration agenda.
"Do not talk about amnesty, increase in apprehensions, or give comparisons of past immigration reform proposals."
"Do not provide statistics on apprehension spikes or past amnesty data."
This is what Border Patrol agents were told in a remarkable January 2004 memo obtained by Judicial Watch in May 2005, entitled "White House Approved Talking Points." At the time the memo was crafted, President Bush had just announced a new "temporary worker program" (to read, amnesty) for illegal immigrants. If the president's initiative was to have negative repercussions, Bush administration officials seemingly reasoned, the public must not know.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry when reading this. Of course, I was already quite certain of Republican conspiracy to flood the country with Third Worlders, but this piece of news is really stupefying. How bold they've become.

This would be a very good addition to a list of documents & sources to comile into a "timeline of decay" so to speak. This gives me an idea...Im starting a library of documents on everything from the 1790 and 1965 immigration laws and up to present along with all the events in the ongoing culture war.
The problem comes when you try to show this stuff to the average joe, who still has the attention span of a 2yr old.

IMO, the very thought processes within 'average joe's' brain have been altered by chemicals, medicine, stinkin' fast food/junk food diet, and a multi-fronted media attack. All of which, in part or in whole, has lead to mass hypnotism, manifest by "joe's" robotic like reponses that require no thought or use of the mind.

[/QUOTE]Death of a thousand pin pricks. Any weakness we have, they are taking advantage of to whatever degree they can get by with. If you draw attention to any one of the pin pricks and declare "conspiracy" you are labeled paranoid.

It is good to see this kind of thing on the GOPUSA website.
