I meet and converse with law enforcement officers almost every day. All of them bring up the same problem about enforcing our laws: allocation of resources available to enforce our laws.

Chief Moore is in a predicament that no one can fix without either cutting law enforcement priorities to the public in general, or cutting back on enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.

San Jose stands to lose 300 officers. That is an enormous loss of resources...a loss that requires Chief Moore to spread his troops very thin in the daily combat against crime. The federal government is the true villain here. The federal government deliberately denies the funding necessary to supplement local law enforcement with USBP and/or ICE agents. Then, when a state or local government attempts to pass laws to enforce immigration laws themselves, our President files suet against them to prevent them from doing so!

Every soingle police officer, deputy, or FBI/DEA agent I have ever talked to appreciates the support of the American public in the efforts to stop the rampant illegal alien invasion of our country and the accompanying criminal drug cartel influence that is rapidly creeping into every major city.

The most counter-productive thing we could do is attack our law enforcement officials and blame them for things they cannot fix. Even if the officers resign in protest, their successors still can do nothing when the federal government continues to interfere with efforts at the local levels to enforce American laws.

This is a predicament perhaps never before seen in America. Our response and remedy should be to continue replacing members of the U.S. Congress, Senate and state governors as quickly as possible to reverse their cavalier and reckless disregard for immigration law enforcement.

As far as the California Coalition for Immigration Reform, William Gheen's ALIPAC, and Jeff Schwilk's now defunct San Diego Minutemen, I hold my ground in my accusations of their lack of integrity or character. These organizations are not influential forces that will provide for a solution to the illegal alien dilemma.

I have no regrets at suing some of the sinister elements in our movement (and winning all four suits), or having one arrested and put in the slammer for six months.

The alternative would have been that the Minuteman Project would have been stolen by a bunch of hoodlums...some of whom who were convicted by a jury of 10 men and 2 women last June of US Postal fraud, federal bank fraud, federal bank theft, and violation of federal internet laws.

The rule of law applies to all of us on U.S. territory...not just illegal aliens.

If I did not bring legal action against the bandits attempting to steal my organization, then they would have seized it mercilessly and plundered it of every dollar being donated to it by a concerned public for their own personal financial gain. To make matters worse, some of you gullible followers believed every lie the witch-hunting hijackers blasted out on the internet, causing the MMP and other similar groups to stall in their abilities to move the illegal immigration issue to the forefront for the past four years.

The racial supremacy group La Raza has gained much ground in those four lost years, including a Congressional grant of about $15 million...something us law abiding groups cannot not get from our Congress.

If we immigration activists despise the rule of law, then that makes us no better than the illegal aliens and their sympathizers who routinely ignore our laws.

Furthermore, If I may quote Rim05:
"It is my opinion that in-fighting has caused more harm to what we started some 5 or 6 years ago than anything else."

Keep listening to the blatant propaganda of groups like ALIPAC, Schwilk's old SDMM, and CCIR and you will be "goose stepped" right into the final demise of the movement to bring our nation back under the rule of law.

I rest my case.
