The Gateway Colonias Initiative: Why John McCain Must Never Be President.
May 22nd, 2008
By CJ Graham

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Senator John McCain must never be elected president or the Amnesty nightmare we all fear will be the least of our problems.

A fully informed public can make good decisions. I have a little information to assist you. In fact, I have some pretty big information. If you want to vote for John McCain, then at least do so fully informed.

On the rare occasion that Senator McCain is questioned about illegal immigration, he gives a very succinct, detail deprived answer. He often snaps with irritation that he has heard us and understands that we want the border secured first.

This begs the question; what is John McCain’s definition of secured? His answer seems rather vague. How about some specifics, Senator? I think a follow-up statement is also required which explains his intentions for the twenty or so million illegal aliens, including Visa overstays now in our country. What do you intend to do about them Senator? This is a simple but loaded question, which is precisely the reason it is never asked.

Since the media is rather busy chasing Brittney Spears and fawning over Senator Obama, they are understandably too busy to do any investigating. Therefore; I am providing you information you will need to decide if Senator McCain will act in the best interest of the Citizens of the United States of America.

Here is what you need to know:

Senator John McCain co-sponsored a bill with Kay Bailey Hutchinson and other fine Senators, titled Senate bill 532, The Gateway Colonias Initiative, Introduced March 5, 2003.

Thankfully, this monstrosity is dead. But don’t rest too easy, there are more where that came from, such as the “SBDC Colonias Outreach Act of 2007″

Are you familiar with the term colonias? They are shanty towns built along, and sometimes straddling, the border of Mexico and America. They are profoundly poverty stricken settlements lacking even basic necessities such as sewage, water, electricity, gas, schools, health care and sometimes even paved roads. Basically, colonias are run down tent cities. Immigrants, both legal and illegal, come across the border to work or to give birth to new American Citizens and must try to exist on the slave wages greedy businessmen can bear to part with.

Isn’t globalism a wonderful thing?

The shacks that would be shelters would never pass inspection in a civilized society. Politicians and agenda driven organizations will tell you that these poor unfortunate souls are Americans living in these settlements but, almost exclusively; these are wretchedly poor illegal immigrants with USA born children.

John McCain co-sponsored a bill that would give grants worth billions of dollars to the very same border that he claims he will secure. Again I ask, what is his definition of secure?

While our streets are rotting from neglect, our schools are falling apart, our hospitals are closing, our bridges, levees, dams and infrastructure are falling apart from neglect, and our government is even now sending billions to the border to build communities where a border fence should be.

John McCain often boasts that he has never requested an earmark for the citizens of Arizona. I might respect him more if he were at least attempting to improve the lives of our citizens. Instead, Senator McCain’s bill would have greatly benefited illegal colonias residents and infrastructure oriented businesses in his state as well as other border states, so much for reform and accountability.

Even without the passage of this bill, money is being sifted through our Federal agencies to fund these projects. A few of our fine agencies participating are the Depts. of Agriculture, Energy, Environment, Health and Human Services, HUD and the list goes on. Let me remind you that Senator McCain is not alone in the guilt of this outrageous spending. All three of our current presidential candidates are sitting Senators. Senator Clinton, whose husband signed the NAFTA agreement, has said not one word and neither has the experienced-challenged Senator Obama.

But for the sake of brevity, let us just focus for now on Senator John “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” McCain and remember that it is he who promises to “secure” our border because he has “heard” us. The very same Senator McCain who jumped giddily into bed with a Kennedy, and drug with him, his faithful little buddy Lindsey “we’re gonna tell the bigots to shut up” Graham with him.

This is the same Senator who has Juan Hernandez, a bi-national who worked for Presidente Vincente Fox of Mexico working on his campaign with Hispanic Outreach.

Why would Senator McCain wish to fund grants to build infrastructure on our border? In former articles I have written about the integration of the western hemisphere.

What is occurring on our border is occurring on borders across Latin America. The Andean Community is one example.

http://www.comunidadandina.org/ingles/who.htm

We are a Community of four countries that decided voluntarily to join together for the purpose of achieving more rapid, better balanced and more autonomous development through Andean, South American and Latin American integration. We have planned to move ahead in deepening an integral integration process that will contribute effectively to sustainable and equitable human development, in order to live well, with respect for the diversity and asymmetries that agglutinate the different visions, models and approaches and that will converge in the formation of the Union of South American Nations (Unasur).

Speech by Ambassador Allan Wagner, Andean Community Secretary General on “border integration and territorial competitiveness in the Andean Community”

During the early years of the Andean Integration process, land borders were viewed with interest and began to take on importance. It was soon discovered, however, that the borders did not operate like “open doors,” like “hinges” intended to efficiently coordinate the flow of goods, but, on the contrary, served as veritable “obstacles” to commercial trade. The difficulties appeared one after another, first in the form of the compulsory transfer of cargo at border crossings; excessive and often repetitive formalities; lack of efficient cargo, transport and crew services; informal or unregistered trade; delays lasting several days to obtain permission to bring goods into or through the country –all of which served to discourage intra-Andean trade.

Get used to the term Border Integration Zones. We might be hearing a lot of it in coming months and years.

The Andean Community includes the country of Peru. You will recall that we recently passed a free trade agreement with Peru. Peru already has an agreement with these other countries and is now “in talks” with the European Union.

This makes sense when you understand how insistent President Bush was that we pass the Columbian agreement. He was adamant about the Peru agreement as well. He is very adamant about the FTAA Free trade area.


The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Our road to hell is being paved with taxpayer’s dollars.
