From Ramirez:

We’re in a Two-Front, 21st-Century War: Immigration without Assimilation

This is 21st century warfare -- not by bombs, but by immigration and the refusal to assimilate. This is the strategy that has worked so well for the radical Islamists in Europe.

The exact same thing will happen here if we let it. We've got illegal immigrants from Mexico trying it, and radical Islamists trying it. We're in a two-front, 21st-century war.

Fortunately, the only reason this strategy of warfare works, is that the nation being destroyed doesn't realize it's happening. There was little awareness in European nations such as France, England and Germany, of how much danger they were in.

We can profit by seeing what is happening to them. The work of Bat Yeor describes it in detail. The Force of Reason, the new book by Oriana Fallaci, references Bat Yeor's work in detail, and also gives us the needed warning.

Once awareness of the danger is high enough -- and today's May 1st demonstration, by illegal immigrants, should help raise that awareness -- it will be possible to put laws in place that require assimilation by immigrants to this country.

How Much Does Illegal Immigration Cost U.S. Taxpayers Each Year?

I keep reading reports that the cost of illegal immigration are $10 billion a year to the Federal government. 

But how much is it costing the individual states? California Assemblyman Chuck  DeVore says the cost to California alone may be over $10 billion. 

Advanced Oil Recovery Techniques Equal 430 Billion New Barrels in U.S. Oil Reserves

Per automotive columnist Eric Peters: 

The Department of Energy, in a recent series of reports that drew scant media attention, says advanced oil recovery technology and techniques can quadruple the amount of recoverable oil in the United States - eventually adding 430 billion new barrels to the nation’s reserves. Those projections don’t encompass hundreds of billions of barrels more that can be extracted from Canada’s vast tar sands and Colorado’s huge oil shale deposits.

It's believed that America's oil-shale alone, would provide enough fuel to make America energy-independent for the next 100 years.

A lot of things can change once the U.S. no longer has to rely on oil from the mid-east.
