Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

August 9 2011

According to the Sacramento Bee, the migratory wave from Mexico to California has gone into reverse. While the official unemployment rate in the U.S. is around ten percent, in Mexico the rate is lower than five percent. Mexicans who had immigrated to the U.S. without official permission are now returning to their homeland, which right now boasts a healthier economy than the United States.

Illegal immigration has long been a problem, but it was never a crisis. The police state measures imposed as supposed ?solutions,? however, will remain part of the architecture of official repression. One good example is the so-called ?Safe Communities Initiative,? through which information on criminal suspects is compiled in huge federal databases for the alleged purpose of identifying criminal aliens. Several states had objected to the program on federalist grounds, or out of concerns over racial profiling.

On August 5, the Obama administration unilaterally decreed that states can no long opt out of that program ? which, like nearly everything else the administration has done, is a brazenly unconstitutional usurpation of power.

Never forget: The walls being built by our rulers are intended to keep us in, not to keep foreigners out.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
