No, that's still true here, which is why the Reconquista Front is desperate for Davis to pass drivers licenses for them. I left CA driver's licenses off the list because it would be too easy to change the requirements for it.

Currently you don't need ANY identification to register to vote in California. You can even register over the internet at the Secretary of State's website. A reasonable argument for this initiative would simply be to point to the driver's license requirements and demand that they be the same to vote.

Proving that the Pima County Republican Party is as clueless as it has always been. Lew Murphy wouldn't have had a problem doing this. But, he's been long gone.

No, I agree. It would have to be done over their opposition. You might get Hayworth and Stump to go for it individually, but the loyalists doing the Bush bidding would not go along.

But the rank and file in Maricopa County would be down the line for it. I just spent a few days in PHX and TUS; everyone I talked to has the same thing on their minds: what is happening? And these are all old line Republican party activists - precinct committeemen, convention goers, etc. They are MAD AS HELL. Even some not so easily upset folks who previously didn't care that much. It's too visible now.

So I think a campaign would work. Of course, the Citizen, the Star, and the Republic would all be against it. So What?

Bush wanted Riordan in CA. He lost. Bilingual ed in Arizona lost. If you stick to principle and tell the party go-alongs where to stick it, you just might win.

End of the RAT use of illegals for Get Out The Vote campaigns. So, end of the line for a lot of RATs. And, perhaps, a resurgence for 187, or another law that would allow us to stop subsidizing our own colonization

Here is what I support:

An immediate end to all U.S. foreign aid, including the so-called loans of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

An immediate end to all foreign immigration into the United States, combined with the massive and complete expulsion of America's millions of illegal aliens and the stringent removal of its legal ones at the expiration of their work or residency visas.

Something to keep in mind at all times is that as a nation gives up control of its border, the process of uncontrolled in-migration does not proceed in a linear fashion but picks up speed at the end like an avalanche breaking loose.

We are at the front edge of that avalanche today, and we have only seen the leading edge of the the problem so far.

The Kosovo Serbs used to enjoy ready access to "cheap Albanian labor", and didn't mind them walking in from Albania.

That's where we are today. Look what it brought the Kosovo Serbs: they have virtually all been forced to flee.

But since Proposition 187 and the election of Gov. Gray Davis, California has become one of the most generous states to legal immigrants, which make up about 29 percent of all immigrant households, mostly Mexican, in the country. In 2000, 26.7 percent of immigrants in California received welfare assistance.

Jorge Bush, Coyote Numero Uno, believes the GOP will benefit from the massive influx of miiilions more third world Mexicans?

Rector said the real issue is the U.S. immigration policy, which lets in hundreds of thousands of Mexicans and other poor peoples who cannot survive without public assistance once they get here. He said the U.S. spent $430 billion last year on total welfare assistance — $5,300 per taxpayer.

This should outrage every Patriotic American with an ounce of sanity.. I guess the pro immigration crowd is a little short in the sanity department...and the patriotic department..

I found the link for you Joe and I FReeped mailed it to you. Thanks for the info about LAX.

Yeah Travis I called Kali DMV. Thats why I pinged you about Chavez. I lived in Los Angeles when he was doing his number out there. He didn't impress me any. He ended up in jail/prison a couple of times - I remember that. He is nobody that I would want to celebrate.

Libertarian Party Platform

Libertarian Party Platform - IMMIGRATION Libertarian Party Platform

 

 

IMMIGRATION

We hold that human rights should not be denied or abridged on the basis of nationality. We condemn massive roundups of Hispanic Americans and others by the federal government in its hunt for individuals not possessing required government documents. We strongly oppose all measures that punish employers who hire undocumented workers. Such measures repress free enterprise, harass workers, and systematically discourage employers from hiring Hispanics.

We welcome all refugees to our country and condemn the efforts of U.S. officials to create a new "Berlin Wall" which would keep them captive. We condemn the U.S. government's policy of barring those refugees from our country and preventing Americans from assisting their passage to help them escape tyranny or improve their economic prospects.

Undocumented non-citizens should not be denied the fundamental freedom to labor and to move about unmolested. Furthermore, immigration must not be restricted for reasons of race, religion, political creed, age, or sexual preference.

We therefore call for the elimination of all restrictions on immigration, the abolition of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Border Patrol, and a declaration of full amnesty for all people who have entered the country illegally. We oppose government welfare and resettlement payments to non-citizens just as we oppose government welfare payments to all other persons.

"It suggest ending the welfare state."

*********

Hmmmm...so the options are to keep illegal aliens out of America or to remove millions of inner city minorities off welfare, food stamps, etc.

I somehow think the former option would have the greatest chance of political success...

No, the argument is that illegals come here for the food stamps so end the food stamps at least for illegals (I prefer for everyone).

Oh, I agree. Hell, we've even enshrined the fuel for immigration acceleration in law: the family reunification portion of the '65 immigration act.

The '92 riots were Round One in my opinion. Look for more fun real soon. If 50-70 illegals at a time or tons of drugs can get across, you KNOW that major weapons loads can get here. Aw, what am I talking about...they're already here! Waiting for critical mass, provided by the Vanguard of the Revolution Reconquista, Los MEChistas!

Yeah, that $5,300 per taxpayer, per year number galled me, too.

Alot of families are two taxpayer families, because we have to support these deadbeats from south-of-the-border. Just imagine the kinds of cars or homes an individual with an extra $441.67 or a family with an extra $883.34, per month, could afford. Imagine the retirement plans, college funds for the kids, vacations, etc. we could afford.

Never, in the history of the planet, has so much hard earned wealth been confiscated to squander on the ungrateful and undeserving.

The Libertarian party endorces National Suicide? What do they think the third worlders would do once they became the majority in America? Can you say 100 percent taxable income.. Talk about transfer of wealth.. It's going to be a nightmare beyond words. I can see that the libertarians have been smoking too much weed and have lost the ability to connect third world hordes with dictatorships and tyranny..

It's the evil elite new world order multinational corporate traitors who control both political parties and the media which is behind all of this. If we don't get rid of these America haters soon, they're greed will destroy us.

I think I know what is responsible for all this illegal immigration from Mexico and it's not jobs or welfare.

Do you recollect, back in the late '50s, when Marty Robbins was singing about the cowboys that were ready to die just to see their Mexican girlfriends one more time?

Well, a whole passel of Mexican housewives heard those songs and told their husbands, "Pedro! Get jour cula across the Rio Grande and don't come back until ju are ready to take a bullet to see me like the Gringos." Hey, there's a lot of those guys here now that can't ever go home.
