I had some technical difficulties with the show – not a big deal but there are glitches both on the official WSB version (which also has commercials) and the podcast. My suggestion is to listen to the first segment in the WSB version and the rest of the show commercial free on my podcast…

Monica,
I suspected you had some issues in getting your podcast up…so glad you resolved matters. As you know, we are polar opposites on this topic. And one of the problems, in addition to our differing positions on this subject, is that we are not “singing off the same page of music”, as the expression goes. What I’m talking about here is that we differ on what the facts of the matter are. And certainly there is a great difficulty in determining the truth of any manner. Perhaps it has always been that way. Our society has decayed so greatly that our consolidated media and elite establishment often, without concern, publish gravely false or misleading information, without fear of reprisal. You really did blow me away with your comment about Obama being the “deportation president”, as I knew that was completely false. But with that said, I think you sincerely believe that to be the truth. So my response is really not meant to be to you, but to the propaganda foisted on us from all directions.
When I lived in California some years ago, I read a book about President Eisenhower’s “Operation Wetback”, which occurred in the 1950s. The operation deported between one and two million illegal aliens, which proportionally, is much greater than anything Obama has done. Of course the name of the operation was “pre PC”, but it was a perfect name for the undertaking. The situation was very serious, and the Americans then were more astute, aware, and not indoctrinated and afraid of being called “names” (racist, etc.) as they now are, and a serious response was undertaken by our government to deal with the issue. Thank heavens articles are now being written about the preposterous suggestion that Obama is dealing with the problem. A link for one such article is presented immediately hereunder.

SO MONICA, WHAT IS NOT A PROBLEM THESE DAYS??? ACCORDING TO OUR GOVERNMENT YOU AND I SHOULD JUST ROLL UP GRACE FULLY IN OUR GRAVES AND BECOME FOSSILS, SO THAT THEY CAN GET A WHOLE NEW SET OF OBEDIENT FOLKS. A PODCAST SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM, RIGHT NOW OFF OF OUR COAST WE HAVE 57 WARSHIPS FROM IRAN AND RUSSIA. WE ARE NOT SHORT ON PROBLEMS; HOWEVER, WE CAN BE SHORT OF ONE PODCAST. WE LOVE YA, EVEN IF YOU DO MISS ONE PODCAST, BELIEVE ME OUR SOULS ARE NOT GOING TO DIE, JUST BECAUSE OF THAT ALONE. SO NOW, WHAT’S THE PROBLEM???
Monica,
I immediately focused on the image you affixed to your latest posting on last Saturday’s broadcast on “immigration” – a photo of the bronze tablet at the base of the Statue of Liberty. Again, we are not “singing off the same page”. This statue was given to the U.S. in 1886 by the French to celebrate our form of government which focuses on “liberty” and freedom of its people. Emma Lazarus, a well connected Sephardic Jew born in the U.S., was able to have her poem, (“The New Colossus”) added in the form of a bronze tablet to the base of the statue some 17 years later. Unfortunately, the purpose of the statue has now been totally bastardized over the years to transform the purpose of the statute from celebrating our form of government (now failed) to trumpeting the push for open borders. I would suggest Ms. Lazarus, and her views, were not representative of the American people. My two cents!
Monica,
When I called into your radio program last Saturday, I mentioned a book by Professor Robert Putnam, titled Bowling Alone. Dr. Putnam is a liberal and set about to prove, via a book, how great “diversity” was for America. It turned out his research proved exactly the opposite. He was dismayed and delayed the release of this book, but finally did publish. As he has noted:
“His research shows that the more diverse a community is, the less likely its inhabitants are to trust anyone – from their next-door neighbour to the mayor. … ‘In the presence of diversity, we hunker down,’ he said. ‘We act like turtles. The effect of diversity is worse than had been imagined. And it’s not just that we don’t trust people who are not like us. In diverse communities, we don’t trust people who do look like us.”
I used to live in California, but in the mid-’90s, moved to Atlanta. At the time I told family and friends that I was moving back to the United States. Since that time great numbers of folks like me have left California and Florida for the same reason. I have heard those tales from many people. And the demographic stats reinforce those trends. But those of us who follow such matters realize Georgia is also a “destination” state for illegals, and multiple agendas are in play to “diversify” every square inch of American soil. Indeed, the Federal government is tracking the demographics of each county in the U.S. to ensure none of us escape their grand plans! But alas, most of us remain unaware of the future that is in store for us. Following below is an excellent review (see link) of Dr. Putnam’s Bowling Alone.

Monica,
And finally, referring to your program on “Immigration”, there was one point I could not in good conscience leave unchallenged, and that would be where you indicated illegal immigrants were a net positive to the economy, (taxes paid versus services used), with your source being the “Wall Street Journal”. Again, it all comes down to the sources we rely on. The “Wall Street Journal” is an unapologetic cheerleader for globalism. They effectively yearn for open borders and have no interest in maintaining an American culture. A nation is only commerce, in their opinion, nothing else matters. “Multiculturalism” is merely an aspect of the global community, (please see my earlier posting on Dr. Putnam’s “Bowling Alone”). I happen to believe people, culture, values, etc. matter greatly, in addition to the commerce!
Fox News is a major media (Neo-Con, not true conservative) source and recently Chris Wallace convened a panel on his Sunday TV show to discuss aspects of this issue. As is often done, if an honest participant is permitted to contribute, that individual is pitted against the rest of the panel. Attached immediately below is a link to this panel, and the true American, Laura Ingraham (3 to 1 against her), destroyed the overwhelming opposition. Yes, Laura, is very bright and talented, but perhaps more important, she had the truth on her side, in my opinion. For those of you who previously believed George Will to be a patriot, this should dispel that opinion. Here’s the link:

Now as far as demonstrating the actual analysis of the costs, I only attach a search query from one “alternative” website, as there are many articles on the subject. The key is “alternative” as the consolidated main stream media speaks in one voice to advance their agendas! Following below is the link for the query:

I truly hope this information causes readers to look beyond the main stream media. That is where the truth often lies!
OKAY HUGH, YOU WILL NOT GET AN ARGUEMENT OUT OF ME AND I DO MEAN THAT FROM THE DEPTS OF MY SOUL!!! THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA DOES NOT IN ANY WAY EXPRESS THE TRUTH NOR DO THEY WANT TO; WHAT THEY WANT TO ACCOMPLISH IS TO FEED US IN TEASPOONS, SO WE WILL ACCEPT THIS IMMIRGRATION REFORM, WHICH IN REALITY IS KILL THE CITIZENS THAT ARE ALREADY CITIZENS REFORM. THE REFORM, IS THE REFORM TO HAVE US DIE OFF, YES DIE OFF!!! AS FAR AS THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA, THEY NOW HAVE BECOME INSTRUMENTS OF satan, AND he IS USING THEY, UNTIL THEY FINALLY DIE OFF!!! EVEN HERMAN CAIN IS EXTREMELY WATERED DOWN IN HIS APPROACH TO THE NEWS, IT WOULD KILL HIM IF HE COULD NOT CANDY CANE COAT EVENTS FOR US, AND SOME OTHERS FOLLOW ALONG. I WISH THAT MONICA PEREZ (“MY KIND OF GIRL”) WOULD TAKE HIS TIME SLOT, AND SOME OTHERS, WE SURE COULD BE AWARE OF MORE!!! SOMEONE PLEASE LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
