Sen. Sessions says: Melt Congress' phone lines and stop Obama's planned amnesty!

Sorry folks to be so pessimistic but I have been at this now or 3 decades and I have seen a steady erosion of enthusiasm and opposition. I have also seen a steady increase in wins for the progressives and illegal aliens.

It seems that the numbers of dedicated opponents has diminished considerably and that they are becoming less and less effective. Personally I think that there is not very much that can be done by private citizens to reverse the tide. That is not to say that the remaining should roll over and give up. Illegal immigration just does not appear to be very high on the agenda of most Americans.

I don't think that there will be any reversal until the present regime is gone, out of office. I simply cannot predict who the next regime will be nor what it will do.That should be determined in the next two years. Apparently the best hope for "change", lays with the Coyote in Chief. If he continues to infuriate the people that will quite probably be better than all of the counter-protests combined.

This Pew report says that immigration from Mexico has fallen to zero.

http://www.pewhispanic.org/2012/04/2...-perhaps-less/

Apparently they are referring to Mexican citizens and not generally migrants from other countries. Thus the bulk of current illegal, undocumented aliens are from other countries traversing Mexico.

Personally I think that the Cartels are almost entirely responsible for provoking the present onslaught by exploiting Obamas comments. The losses in human trafficking revenue have reportedly fallen over the years so the Cartels, being good businessmen, found ways to increase profits. Drug trafficking is reported to be up by 250% and meth up 500%. Note that the Cartels pushed into human trafficking and largely took it over too.

But it takes two to tango. In business there has to be a supplier and a consumer. So who are the consumers ?

We also need to find a way to punish big business for their support of illegals and immigration increases.

I have to go back to this.

If you're going to do this, you have to find a way to make the stock drop as well as successfully attack interlocking boards of directors, punish the stock holders. Stock holders generally don't care in the slightest about business ethics so long as the dividends keep rolling in. Conversely, if the flow stops those stock holders will be squealing like stuck pigs and the board of directors will dance to that unpleasant tune. The problem is shutting off the cash register without affecting employees, because the first to get wacked for bad bottom lines are low level employees. That sort of thing could backfire in a bad economy with high unemployment.

Quite some years ago, I worked for a multi billion dollar, international corporation. There was a labor dispute whereupon the company was attempting to force a health care plan on the employees which was designed to crash in about five years.

The problem was that there was little public sympathy for the employees since the business was a (heavily regulated) monopoly which without their product there would be no modern life, no economy. So, similar to the illegal alien problem, the monthly bill and the employees were the most visible to the public, not the board of directors, stockholders, and government regulation which went far beyond controlling parasitical profit taking.

In short, the public couldn't give a rat's ass about employees picketing in front of the business properties.

So, I began looking into the corporate structure, and it astounded me that the board of directors had their fingers in over 50 entities from defense contractors; utilities; real estate; land development; construction companies; airlines; banking; medical care and health insurance; to even a winery and much more. They all served on each other's board of directors.

These people were in a position to manipulate a large part of the economy by virtue of interlocking boards of directors, and only by by the slimmest of legal definition did they avoid conflict of interest because more than a few of the companies were competing businesses.

So my idea was to take it to the board of directors, to let the public know that these people were responsible for high utility rates, high taxes, being ripped off by financial institutions, and much more.

The idea was received, with some enthusiasm for picketing the other businesses (to let the public know the interconnectedness of big business), not so much for picketing at the homes of the directors. There was a lot falling apart in my life at that time, I'm not sure if any of it was done, I don't recall that anything along this line was done.

However, the company was buggered out of a big deal merger based on its past actions, the CEO was discredited and sacked.

And, after all these years, the tit for tat war still goes on.
