I was saddened when I found this out this morning. I went to see if there was new comments about the Immigration debate that Al Walentis posted a couple of days ago after President Bush’s address about the subject. When I clicked to see the new comments I got a message that the post was deleted. Now let’s be clear this was not a Republican vs. Democrat battle at all. As a matter of fact between Stefan Kosikowski, and myself we brought up a ton of valid points, and arguments in a very civil manner that sadly are not reported in the media, and busting these myths, and spin that comes from the politicians to justify keeping Illegal Aliens in this country.

One of those myths that we busted which got the debate removed was the myth that it would be impossible to deport mass amounts of Illegal Aliens. I made a comment regarding Operation Wetback which was a military operation enacted by President Eisenhower in 1954 to round up the Illegal Aliens and deport them. The operation proved to be a success. After that comment the Politically Correct crowd started crying foul, and playing the race card. One thing to keep in mind during Operation Wetback it involved the mass deportation of Mexicans, Canadians, and other races, and remember that Illegal Aliens HAVE NO RIGHTS, THAT IS WHY THEY ARE ILLEGAL. While a majority of them were Mexicans that is because naturally the southern border has always been a hotspot for crossing the border into this country. So because the name of the mission which is in this case Operation Wetback offended some people regardless of its success to secure our borders, and control the flow of Illegal Aliens into this country The Reading Eagle ordered that the debate be removed.

If we allow this kind of thing to continue, the Cancer we call Political Correctness will be the ultimate destruction of this country. The Reading Eagle should not have to resort to these types of actions, but sadly The Reading Eagle has a political agenda as well. In a recent opinion piece The Reading Eagle endorsed amnesty for the Illegal Aliens, along with open borders. Al Walentis allowed comments by Stefan, and myself that were a threat to that agenda. This is the exact same thing they did to another Reading Eagle employee Michael Case when he was exposing the criminal elements of the City Of Reading to a point where it could hurt the reelection chances of Mayor Tom McMahon.

We have a free press in this country for a reason, and that is because of these types of things. The Reading Eagle is doing a great disservice to its readers, and its staff which in this case is Al Walentis, and Michael Case before that.

I therefore say we have a no holds barred debate in Illegal Aliens on this topic. All comments will be welcome. I also invite Stefan Kosikowski to chime in on this debate as well since he did an outstanding job talking about this topic on the Reading Eagle Blogs. I think it is time we play a little bit of Political Myth Busters, and start busting these myths about Illegal Immigration once and for all.

UPDATE
____________

As of 10:50 today about an hour after this post came online all of a sudden the comments section on the Reading Eagle Blogs has returned. This reminds me of another issue with Kurt Bellman who used to run the Elections office in Berks County and later got fired because two of the county commissioner were being party hacks. Bellman mentioned on election day Tuesday on the Eagle Blogs of how his successor could not even post the results page on the county election site. Within about 2 hours the election results section of the site came out of the blue. It’s always good to keep the pressure on them folks, and not let them get away with these kinds of things.

Interesting……..

What a week it has been folks. The fact that reminded these elected clowns who really hold the power is something I will never forget. We all experienced a moment on Tuesday that will be remembered in history, and I can say I’m proud that I saw it happen in my own lifetime. Whatever you want to talk about today is the day. Have A Nice Weekend.
