Immigration Matters. Look at the Dutch,

Hey folks,

I’m sure we will be talking more about the NYTs in upcoming days. This is something that I will be following. But I saw and interesting article this morning. Proof that immigration really does matter. Watch and see if the LWL does not follow this example.

You can read the whole article Dutch Government Collapse

You know we have had the immigration debate going on for some time now. It has, as I predicted, been pretty much put on the back burner until after the elections in 130 days. But BOTH sides need to realize that this is an important issue.

They are saying that the trigger of the government collapse and takeover of their Left, was Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk's threat to revoke the Dutch citizenship of Ayaan Hirsi Ali after the popular politician admitted to lying about her name, age and refugee status on her arrival in the Netherlands in 1992. Imagine a politician lying? Glad we do not have that here.{Smile}

This is the third collapse of a government since 2002 came amid rising public concerns over immigration and security. Sound familiar?

If you have time check out the article. I found it to be interesting. The people there have spoken. As they have here. There are a lot of similarities with the Dutch situation and our own. We too are offended and annoyed at the Government over the immigration issue. Here we have a President that wants amnesty for 12 million illegals, and pretty much an open boarder, for Mexicans anyway. The hard Right wants mass deportation and felonies. The hard Left want open boarders, amnesty and rewards for those here. But the difference in us and the Dutch is the MASS number of Independents. Those "middle of the roaders" that are intelligent enough to say, "there must be some kind of compromise. Security first, then we will talk."

Now do not get me wrong. I’m not calling for nor would it ever happen here, although there are some LWL that would LOVE it to happen here, that our government will collapse. But if there is any doubt at all, if this was an important issue, take a look at what does happen elsewhere. We are not alone.
