Correction: No Site Selected for Vietnamese-American Soldiers Memorial Monument By Bob Dill All parties involved in locating the proposed VietnameseAmerican Soldiers Memorial Monument in Greenville have confirmed that no decision has been made on the placement of the Monument. We regret the misleading headline in the November 12 issue. Just back from his controversial trip to Asia where he made a lopsided deal with China on the environment that will punish American businesses and penalize financially American consumers, President Obama has threatened to unilaterally and unconstitutionally grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants as early as this week. The administration has already created a legacy of lies and deception to win elections and pass legislation. It, therefore, would not be difficult for Mr. Obama to sign an Executive Order granting amnesty to millions of new Democrat voters. Even if the Executive Order were declared unconstitutional by a future president or the Supreme Court, politically and practically, it would be virtually impossible to reverse such an action. The President is on record saying such action as he is planning would be unconstitutional. He is now under so much pressure from Hispanics and the Progressive Democrat leaders that he apparently believes he must act alone. After all, the future of Democrat rule is dependent upon building a majority of voters dependent on government programs that can be used to control the dependent voters. Continuing to have an open border and granting amnesty to all that will come illegally is a longrange Progressive Democrat strategy. Implementation of the strategy would destroy the Republican Party and ensure Democrat domination of the country for decades to come. Reaction to the threat by Republicans is not yet clear, nor is the extent of the Obama action clear. Pressure applied to individual lawmakers by their constituents will likely determine action taken to stop the President See THREATENS, Page 4 PHOTO BY BOB DILL Mrs. Bang Hall addressed Greenville County Legislative Delegation, flanked by DAV Commander Daniel W. Holtel. By Bob Dill The Upstate VietnameseAmerican community and United States veterans of the Vietnam War have worked together for months to develop a concept and a scale model of an appropriate memorial to honor the American and Vietnamese military personnel who fought side-by-side in an effort to preserve the freedom of the Vietnamese people. Factual history shows that although the military won the war, a weary United States Government abandoned the effort and the Vietnamese people to fend for themselves against an oppressive Communist regime. Members of the Vietnamese military and others who worked with Americans along with family members were imprisoned in “reeducation” work camps until they proved their loyalty to the Communist regime or escaped by boat at sea or to an adjoining country. Thousands risked their lives to escape and eventually make their way to the United States. Many of those who were successful are now productive American Citizens living in Upstate South Carolina. They love their new country and will never forget the sacrifices made by members of the United States military in an effort to preserve their freedom. Through the proposed memorial, the Vietnamese and American veterans of the Vietnam War now living will memorialize their close bond of friendship for future generations. Mrs. Bang Hall, who with the aid of her heroic United States Marine Corps veteran husband, escaped the Communist Regime, and is now vice president of the Greenville area Vietnamese Community. Mrs. Hall, accompanied by Disabled American Veteran Chapter Commander Daniel W. Holtel, addressed the Greenville County Legislative Delegation, Monday evening in Greenville. Commanders of the Vietnam and Korean War Veterans organizations were in the audience along with a number of men who wore the uniform of the Vietnamese Army and are now American Citizens living in Greenville. Mrs. Hall said the Vietnamese soldiers want to show their appreciation for the sacrifices made by American soldiers “who fought shoulder to shoulder with them and did not receive appreciation when they returned to this country. “We cannot change what happened when American soldiers came back from Vietnam War, but today we can do something. We would like to build a monument to say thank you to all the people who risked their lives and sacrificed their youth, their blood and their happiness for us.” Mrs. Hall noted that Greenville Mayor Knox White has endorsed the memorial project. It is supported by all the area veterans organizations. The next step is to acquire a suitable location for the memorial. The Anti-Weasel Checklist Notes on Understanding Immigration Issues - Part 2 By Mike Scruggs The unconstitutional usurpation of immigration policy now being threatened by Presi- dent Obama is an unprecedented internal attack on the United States. Its purpose is to fundamentally change the dominant political, social, and economic culture of the nation by changing the electorate. The direction of that change will be one-party po- litical dominance based on an allpowerful statist government favoring the growth of centralized Federal power and big business and radical social and cultural change. This new charter of government would exercise despotic powers to crush America’s former cultural, religious, and political heritage. This attack on the American people and their heritage could well be aided and abetted by the tendency of many Republican leaders in See SCRUGGS, Page 12
