During older wars around the globe, one of the most important tools a nation under attack could utilize involved dedicated members of its citizenry "armed" with binoculars and observation stations, a network ever "armed" to report potential invading bomb-laden aircraft. This, the Ground Observer Corps in the United States, has pretty much been overtaken by precise instruments of technology and a cautious but growing implementation of artificial intelligence.
Yet, the time has come for a New G.O.C., an entity never anticipated until the Democrats haphazardly allowed illegal aliens into the country.
New York's obtuse governor Kathy Hochul and a host of Democrat governors, mayors and other legislators across the country have, even after Donald Trump's formidable mandate to toss border-jumpers out of the country, decided to plant their feet firmly against our laws in order to "protect" these criminals from federal apprehension. They would prefer to continue taxing their constituents into oblivion in order to give these folks a better standard of living than many Americans enjoy. Not even homeless military veterans matter to this bunch.
From coast to coast, as Trump prepares to take Office, all we hear from these elected idiots is their promise to prohibit their police agencies from cooperating with authorities when push come to shove. No names, identification or locations for you Trump people, they insist.
First above all, I hope these American state officials face every law on the books by refusing to cooperate.
Second, like the old Ground Observer Corps, we need an informal pattern of plain old Americans keeping watch in their neighborhoods, cities, rural areas and any place where illegal individuals and families hide with "official" state help. Instead of watching the skies, they'll watch for incoming or established human "bombs" currently sucking welfare, medical care, education and space in general. Make a list and turn it over to federal authorities once Trump establishes a project. Even a phone-in number for instant gratification would be a great idea.
Now, yes, we anticipate that the usual complainers will come forward in the streets and compare this to something only Nazis would do, but the difference obviously is that nobody is sending children and adults off to the gas chambers. Instead, they will be returned to their countries of origin, and if these criminal invaders protest that families are being torn asunder we'll make sure that families are kicked out intact, nobody left behind to inspire tears and chants.
If our elected representatives refuse to do their jobs or to flat-out obstruct the power of established law, they must endure the consequences -- and with the help of their own state residents, observing from their own neighborhoods, those requiring apprehension and expulsion will not be able to hide. The new American Ground Observer Corps need only lower its eyes from the sky to ground level to discover and hopefully remove all nature of invaders armed with everything poisonous to a free society.
