Why are we wasting BILLIONS of dollars to give free food, shelter, and free medical care to illegal Mexicans?

There was a time when Americans had the right stuff and boldly led the world in going where no man had gone before. Apparently, that time has passed. Barack Obama's 2011 NASA budget request will effectively terminate America's manned space flight program, leaving space exploration leadership to the Chinese and the Russians.

Obama's new plans, which laughably claim to be a "bold new approach," would terminate NASA's Constellation Program, which would have replaced the retiring Space Shuttles with a new crew vehicle, as well as building the new launchers required to get America back to the moon and on to Mars.

This plan leans heavily on commercial space companies to develop new vehicles to get U.S. astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS). Although the time frame is left open, it's certainly not any time soon. In the meantime, the U.S. will pay the Russians for taxi rides to the ISS.

On the other hand, Obama's plan would expand NASA's role in earth climate observations, apparently in hopes of further propping up the collapsing global warming fraud. In short, the U.S. is left with no vision, no destination, and no inspiration.

While there are legitimate questions about the federal government's role in space flight, and we applaud the move to push development of private space enterprises, the U.S. space program, or lack thereof, has national security implications. Apollo and its forerunners were a powerful weapon in the Cold War, and NASA's technological innovations and considerable world prestige clearly helped to defeat the Soviet Union. What would the impact be on the U.S. if, in the year 2020, we're treated to beautiful, hi-def images from the moon of Chinese taikonauts at Tranquility Base, kicking down the American flag and replacing it, permanently, with a Chinese flag?

If humanity is going to the stars, however quickly or slowly, shouldn't Americans be leading the way?

We here at the CPUSA Communist Party USA are fighting this Arizona Bill all the way. We've been working hard with Obama ( Who BTW is one of us ) to put an end to this law.

Arizona communist appeals for help to fight illegal immigration bill

Leading Tuscon Communist Party USA member, Carolyn Trowbridge has appealed for Party help in fighting Arizona’s new “get tough on illegal immigration” Bill (SB 1070).

The Bill which mandates law enforcement officers to check a suspects immigration status when there is good cause to do so, has drawn anger from the US left, from President Barack Obama down.

Writing in the Peoples World of April 26, Trowbridge who triples as chair of the Communist Party’s Women’s Commission , vice president of the Arizona ACLU and as a leading immigration activist, expressed her anger at the new law.

We are tired of being the laughing stock of the U.S., we are tired of being threatened, we are more than tired, WE ARE REALLY PISSED OFF. And we want the rest of you to also be pissed off. One reason our legislature and governor think they can get away with this crap is that no one else in the country is paying attention or cares.

Trowbridge went on to compare l the Bill, which merely seeks to enforce already existing federal guidelines, with Apartheid and even “ethnic cleansing”.

So we can use some loud voices in support of the national economic boycott of Arizona called by Raul Grijalva. Already the American Immigration Lawyers Association has dropped plans to hold their convention here. If you know of any other organizations who are planning events here, if you know people who are planning vacations (the Grand Canyon is fabulous but stay away until it is safe to come), moving a business, buying anything from us (especially citrus and other agricultural items), tell them to stop. We are fighting against our own apartheid, our own flirtation with ethnic cleansing.

Let Trump worry about that. He hates Mexicans.
