"I see. So, someone with a spanish surname, by definition, isn't an American, in your eyes? How about this guy? You might recognize him:"
No you don't see... I don't care what a person's surname is or what color they are, as long as they support the American constitution.
Let me put it another way... Just because a person lives in America, doesn't make them an American.
Does this help you?
The sooner he's out of that position the better. Can't someone take one for the team and offer him a big old cushy job at a law firm just to get him the hell out?
"Everything's free in America . . . "
Well, there goes about half the U.S. House, and most of the U.S. Senate.
Frankly I wouldn't be so quick to discount that actual threats have been made.
Although..in today's world if you strongly disagree...many deem that a threat. If you look cross-eyed at someone...you've "disrespected" them.
So..what I might let run off my back....other's make into a threat.
FWIW-
ALL legislators get threats, ALL the time.
Nothing new.
Threats are made to elected office holders all the time.
Heeey! I remember seeing that guy in a news story once. What was his name? Geez... all I can remember about it was that he belonged to the group LaRaza. He was speaking to that group or something... really... what's his name? < /sarcasm>
As everyone else has already pointed out, this article doesn't bother to mention that people on all sides have gotten threats.
But, in another perspective, the Hispanic leaders have brought it upon themselves. In giving one group of people - or just demanding that they get - special privileges that others don't get PLUS the others have to pay for the special group, they have set up a system where antagonism towards those people is inevitable. Am I being too vague? (ie., if the Hispanic leaders wanted to create racist feelings amongst the public, they couldn't have gone about it in a better way)
I agree this is B.S.
A strategic La Raza press release, sent to all their ally media outlets.
You seem to be a member of the PC Police.
May I see your badge?
This is absolute BS and we all know that conservatives recieving death threats would be treated by a big yawn in the media circles.
Its obvious this is a concerted effort - the president and the left are in cahoots to construct the emotional argument that these people are legal, contribute more than they take, and we are all the same. All contrary to the truth.
We have seen the enemy and it is in our party - we must continue to fight the leftest RINOs. Keep up the work conservatives!

This is not about workers rights or fair immigration policies. It has to do with international communist/socialist orgs looking to gain the political upperhand in the U.S..
Posted by JeffHead Jeff links to Mexica.org's 'after protest' pic fest. You can see there what the marchers thought they were marching for.
A poster for Friday’s march. March 31. This poster lists the Latino orgs that are promoting the protests. They are all communist/socialist front orgs.
Here is my analysis of what is going on behind the scenes.
Here is some evidence that 'amnesty' increases illegal entries. These people knew before the demonstrations that the time was ripe.
Smith Act of 1940 This is the U.S. statute that ought to apply to the organized gathering of tens of thousands of foreign nationals calling for the overthrow of our country.
I need to make a correction to my previous postings. H.R. 4437 does not simplify the process of documenting employees. The article at that last link says this:
No Elimination and Reduction of Employment Eligibility Documents. One of the few positive aspects of a mandatory employment eligibility system would be the simplification of the hiring process by reducing the number of documents employers would have to verify to one or two. The bill does not do so. Several other reform proposals (such as the Dreier bill, H.R. 98) provide for such simplification by requiring the use of a tamperproof Social Security card and no others. The bill only studies the use of such documents but does not eliminate the use of any documents and the confusion such documents cause employers.
My apologies to all for proliferating confusion on that. This means that H.R. 4437, the best of all bills so far put forward by our esteemed Congress, isn't too good after all.
Understand that the provision that the protesters say is 'racist,' that makes illegals felons, was inserted by the Dems a short time ago. That clarifies why Hillary happened to discover the immigration issue a week before the marches. Why she demonized Republicans as "making Jesus a criminal."
Keep in mind just who organized these protests. Who provided the tens of thousands of T-shirts, the thousands of professionally made signs, the hours and hours of promotion on Spanish language radio and TV stations. It has been noticed that Islamic orgs names and logos appear on some of these signs as well. Remember that NEA teachers and administrators are the ones who have assisted the march organizers by providing bussing for their students, hoisting Mexican flags at school and overlooking the truancy.
Don't forget that the last two Presidential elections were nearly 50/50. Think about how our Congress is looking for a way to appease these foreign nationals through legislation. No election necessary. The outcome of legalizing 11 million illegals and encouraging more to come will be a solid lock for the left forevermore in national elections. We don’t need an ‘immigration’ bill. We need and want a border security and illegal aliens bill. An immigration/guest worker bill can come after that is done.
Mexico is Rich- Mexican wealthy play American taxpayers for suckers
Good thread for any that missed it. It should really make you mad.
Every dollar spent in U.S. taxes for social services for illegal aliens frees up additional cash to be sent south as part of the annual remittances which provided $20 billion in 2005. According to the CNN news show Lou Dobbs Tonight (3/21/05), "Remittances, as they're called, are expected to become Mexico's primary source of income this year, surpassing the amount of money that Mexico makes on oil exports for the first time ever."

The bill that was just defeated in the Senate was an amnesty, plain and simple. But take a look at what these treasonous scumbags tried to hide in it. They will be back and we can expect more of this if we do not act decisively.
Hidden Bombs (Extremely Important Article on Immigration)
The second nasty surprise? Just before the committee approved the bill on the evening of March 27, Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) offered the "DREAM Act" as an amendment. It passed on a voice vote.The DREAM Act is a nightmare. It repeals a 1996 law that prohibits state universities from offering in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens. The principle, of course, is that no illegal alien should be entitled to receive a taxpayer-subsidized benefit that out-of-state U.S. citizens can't get. But the committee's bill allows illegals to be treated better than those U.S. citizens on tuition.
