Deathwatch.

Absent a miracle, we will soon witness the death of the United States of America.

You remember the USA, don't you? That "nation of laws," governed by elected "servants of the people?"

Dead.

Blame for this goes to the traitorous scum in Washington -- led by the immensely corrupt Jorge Bush, drink-addled Teddy Kennedy, bought-and-paid-for Harry Reid and appeasement-minded criminals like Lindsey Graham and John Kyl -- who are about to hand the country over to law-breakers, drug-dealers, welfare-suckers and potential terrorists.

Yes, an agreement on so-called "comprehensive immigration reform" has been reached in that once-honorable body, the U.S. Senate.

The agreement, in essence, is that every damn person who wants to come into this country will be free to do so, and everyone who has violated the law -- in some cases, many laws -- to get here gets to stay. Along with their wives/husbands, children, aunts, uncles, parents, grandparents and cousins.

Some details: The plan would create a temporary worker program to bring new arrivals to the U.S. A separate program would cover agricultural workers. New high-tech enforcement measures also would be instituted to verify that workers are here legally. Note that since no one would be "illegal" in this scenario, this is meaningless.

The draft bill "gives a path out of the shadows and toward legal status for those who are currently here" illegally, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. A "path?" Hell, it builds them a superhighway to slide in on!

The proposed agreement would allow illegal immigrants to come forward and obtain a "Z visa" and—after paying fees and a $5,000 fine—ultimately get on track for permanent residency, which could take between eight and 13 years. Heads of household would have to return to their home countries first. You wait -- there will be no "fines." The Hispanic pressure groups will see to that.

They could come forward right away to claim a probationary card that would let them live and work legally in the U.S., but could not begin the path to permanent residency or citizenship until border security improvements and the high-tech worker identification program were completed.

What benefits will those who were born here or came here legally have after this? The right to lose our jobs to the now-"legal" illegals, pay more for welfare costs, share our dwindling resources (water, air, land, food, etc.) with millions of additional consumers of same, and live with people who now know breaking laws is good for them.

We have already seen what happens to those who try to uphold our laws -- Ramos, Compean and Hernandez, for example -- when the vengeful puppet of Mexico's leaders orders his lackeys to go after them.

We have seen the Mayor of Los Angeles align himself with illegals, and in fact support them in their hatred for the police.

We have seen misguided religious leaders proclaim that their churches and synagogues are places of "sanctuary" for illegals.

They, and the politicians, fall back on Biblical statements about being good to the "strangers" among us.

That's bullshit, plain and simple.

Does the Bible tell us to give up our livelihoods, our possessions and our rights so someone else can thrive after breaking the law? I doubt it.

None of the knaves in Washington will have to sacrifice a damn thing. They can order us to give up our lives for millions of immigrants who, in a sane world, would not be able to come here. The traitors' fortunes will remain intact, thanks to payoffs from people who will get rich on the backs of the new slaves and those in Mexico who profit from sending their poorest citizens over the border.

Does anyone believe the newcomers will assimilate, become Americans? The illegals who have demanded special treatment and rights even citizens don't enjoy have given us the answer, over and over.

I never dreamed that the greatest enemy to the United States would be our president and our representatives in Congress. I never believed that those who have sworn to uphold our laws and constantly come up with new laws to make our lives more difficult would be the first to embrace the concept of selective law-breaking. Power not only can corrupt, but has corrupted those who wield power in Washington.

These traitors are, indeed, the tools of our nation's destruction, and unless we take away their power and punish them, treat them like the lying, crooked bastards they are, throw each and every one of them in jail.

Of course that won't happen. And the United States will vanish.

I am ashamed to be an American today, and I fear the future.
