The next democrat push will likely be AMNESTY. Gotta find a way to government insure 12 to 20 million illegal aliens, doncha know...
FOOD FOR THOUGHT....
I had an occasion to revisit this thread:
Someone who can post a picture should post the map in post #41, it’s striking to see. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1840655/posts
We had determined that 20 million illegal aliens was the population, used the infrastructure of 17... SEVENTEEEEEN....of our states. But it’s NOT 20 million....it’s 20 million PLUS their anchor babies......We’ve replaced how many states because of illegal immigration counting their offspring who are obviously here as well....???? Just using the 20 million figure doesn’t even touch the total # of people new, poor, needy here because of illegal immigration....We’re talking 50-60 million extra people...voters, more anchor babies to continue the narcoterror.

And the ‘hate’ baiting begins....
Immigration Battle Heating Up: Group Accuses Talk Radio Hosts of Supporting “Hate Group”
Over 45 of “America’s finest radio hosts,” according to organizers, have converged on Washington D.C. to hold a conservative event Tuesday and Wednesday in opposition to President Obama’s health care proposal and the possibility of immigration reform.
But the event’s organizer, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, is being denounced by America’s Voice, one of the leading pro-immigration lobbying organizations, as a hate group.
While both groups have long disagreed, and maintain widely divergent views on immigration, seldom have their attacks been so direct.
The FAIR event is a radio-thon called “Hold Their Feet to the Fire” and it’s meant to “bring true immigration reform activists from across the country together in the nation’s capital,” the group said. It seeks to focus on “how best to close the illegal alien loophole” in the health care reform bill being considered in the House, it added.
FAIR refers to conservative claims that illegal immigrants would be able to get free health care, paid for by American taxpayers, after President Obama’s reform package becomes law. That assertion has been largely debunked by several non-partisan organizations — in its latest ruling on the matter, PolitiFact rated it as a half truth.
On Monday, America’s Voice came out blazing-guns style against FAIR in anticipation of its talk radio extravaganza. The featured story on its website read:
“FAIR, a designated hate group, is storming DC to lobby Congress this week. Their goal? To block solutions on immigration and other key reforms– to sow division and fear with lies about immigrants and the President’s plans for reform. America’s Voice has launched a video, ads, and easy ways to take action to ‘fight FAIR.’”
The hate group designation originally comes from the Southern Poverty Law Center, [snip]
America first battle moves to air

First there was the revolution. More than 200 years later, tea parties, were followed by the Tea Party Express. So much for the ground traffic, now it is time for the air war with a focus on illegal immigration.
Pro American take back the country rallies continue this week in Washington, D.C. as the Federation for American Immigration Reform hold its annual Hold Their Feet to the Fire radio rally Sept. 15 and 16.
Forty-seven hosts, led by Roger Hedgecock of Radio America Networks and Lou Dobbs of United Stations Radio Network, will broadcast live from Capitol Hill. They will discuss several issues, including the cost and impact of continued illegal immigration on jobs, wages, education, the environment and national security, the loopholes within America’s Affordable Health Care Act of 2009 allowing illegal aliens access to tax-payer funded benefits, and the Obama Administration’s plans for amnesty.
As in previous years, talk hosts will interview members of Congress, immigration reform experts, high profile media personalities and activists. The event features a We the People reception honoring those who have made significant contributions towards true immigration reform.
“While expanding benefits for illegal aliens, this administration is simultaneously dismantling immigration enforcement and systematically laying the groundwork for yet another massive amnesty bill,” said Bob Dane, event manager of Hold Their Feet to the Fire 2009. “Powerful special interests are lobbying to stop immigration enforcement, pass mass amnesty legislation, and import more foreign guest workers with no regard to the plight of the American worker or our national security.”[snip]

This is the best forum to get all the opinions of the politicians they interview along with current stats, legislation that I’ve seen.
The event was overlooked with other news this year.
IIRC, last year, and previous years, Duncan Hunter was always very gracious with the radio hosts.
Lars Larson says the house is ‘sanctioning’ Joe Wilson as we speak.

You can fax for free and they generate letters and alerts. Very easy to use. takes a minute a week after you set up your preferences. I clicked everything so i fax on everything.
They helped stop amnesty last time.
Pardon me, should have read ‘disciplining’

If you think Mexico’s Narco terror hasn’t ‘spilled over’ to the states, think again. The various cartels in the NW are fighting each other for control of land and distribution.

Another stabbing victim, identified as an 18-year-old male, was driven to Providence Medford Medical Center in a private vehicle. The driver also had stab wounds, police reported, but he left without being treated and before he could be interviewed.
