Dexter Cogni: The Evil Done in Pursuit of the Good<br>Part II

The Evil Done in Pursuit of the Good
Part II

Recently, WorldNetDaily (http://www.wnd.com) reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials arrested more than 9,000 criminal alien invaders during a three-year operation to net sex offenders. [**] This statistic is both shocking and clarifying. Americans who value their liberties and their safefy must take the time to investigate this underlying problem in the debate over the criminal alien invader.

Before evaluating the details of criminal behavior, let's analyze the population of the criminal alien invader.

Universally[1], they are criminals. The very act of violating national sovereignty by crossing the border without benefit of international agreements and documentation is a crime.

Under Title 8 Section 1325 of the U.S. Code, "Improper Entry by Alien," any citizen of any country other than the United States who:

ØEnters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers; or

ØEludes examination or inspection by immigration officers; or

ØAttempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact;

has committed a federal crime.

Violations are punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment for up to six months. Repeat offenses can bring up to two years in prison. Additional civil fines may be imposed at the discretion of immigration judges, but civil fines do not negate the criminal sanctions or nature of the offense.

These criminal alien invaders are, firstly, criminals. There were not born on this side of the border. Therefore, they lack status as a citizen. They are aliens. Finally, just because they do not bring firearms or artillery with them as they come doesn't mean they are any less an invading force than any destroying, conquering army. The most vocal of these groups are The Brown Berets of Aztlan and MEChA. Both want to "re-conquer" the western half of the United States and place it under the mythical banner of Aztlan.[3]

From these origins: criminal; foreign and alien; and supported by the rhetoric of a violent army, these criminal alien invaders are not benevolent. They are not benevolent by their group identity. They are not benevolent individually.

Mexico has an estimated population of around 105 million.[4] The current estimates of the numbers of Mexicans illegally in the United States ranges from 11 to 20 million.[5] This simple calculation results in a staggering 19 percent of Mexico is currently stationed in the United States as an occupying force.

The stereotypical Mexican Bandito has icons in myth and truth that range from the real-life Pancho Villa to the comic Frito Bandito. The truth is that the most corrupt criminals in Mexico are in the highest government offices in Mexico. (It is important to complete that clause, "in Mexico" in the preceding sentence, lest someone mistake the object of the sentence as Washington, D.C.)

The fact that at least one news site devotes an RSS feed solely to Mexico's corruption is an admission by the Fourth Estate that there are problems South of the Border.[6] That the 19 percent of Mexico's population who would violate U.S. border laws would also be criminals by culture is no rude awakening.

After arriving in the United States, the criminal alien invader thinks nothing of procuring forged citizenship documents (another felony), and committing continuing fraud on both his employer and on the federal government.

As between 8 and 20 million criminal alien invaders stream across the United State's southern (and northern) borders, their crimes escalate. Assuming these 8,000 or so criminal alien invader sex offenders are actually brought before a sentencing hearing at the end of a trial and are incarcerated in one of our plush prisons (compared to Mexico), they will join the 326,704 criminal alien invaders who are currently incarcerated in the United States. [7] The cost for incarceration will be phenomenal. Those already incarcerated have been a $1,372,947,333 drain on our nation. [8] Taxes from United States citizens paid this price.

Unfortunately, when both our resources for apprehending and detaining criminal alien invader when they commit the harsher crimes, and our fundamental resolve to do so, are so thin we can read the newspaper though them, no one will do the middle police work. As crimes escalate, Heather Mac Donald reported that big-city policemen enter a "bidding war" to convince a police chief to detain and prosecute the criminal.[9] The eventual result is a "catch and release" that irritates United States citizens more and more.

Putting all the criminal alien invaders in jail is not the answer. Frankly, I just don't want to pay for it. The only real answer is a secure border through which "la cucaracha" couldn't squeeze.

Locks are for honest people. But how many times does the bank robber come around when the vault is locked? The most important obligation of our representatives in Washington, D.C. is the security of our bank vault. The most important obligation of our representatives in Washington, D.C. is a border security implementation that keeps the criminal alien invader out of our back yards, out of our businesses, and out of our criminal justice system. The resources of the United States, as they are, are insufficient for the overwhelming numbers of invaders.

The criminal justice system in the United States was once the crown jewel of integrity and impartial adjudication. Today, it is a poorly-running antique with too many miles and a too-heavy load. In the hey-day of the United States, it was anathema to consider taking the law out of the control of the appointed system of judges and officers of the court. Today, the only way justice will be delivered is by vigilante. Then, what shall be done to the vigilante? It is a circle of violence and crime that we should not have to endure.

But something must be done to stem the flow of alien toxins and poisons from Mexico and south of the border. First Aid demands a tourniquet be applied to the border. Everyone must squeeze tightly and keep the bandage on until the flow stops.

Country-Club Republicraps cry real tears at this. "We might lose a limb," they warn, "if the flow is not allowed, at least from time to time."

"And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell."[10]

[1] For the rare liberal reader [2], that means "everybody in the group."

[2] Most liberals can read, but you can see their lips move when they come to a hard word.
