During their national convention, Democrats arrogantly flaunted U.S. immigration laws and blatantly ignored the majority of Americans' sentiments towards illegal immigration. The Democrats featured an illegal immigrant as a speaker on September 5: "...Activist Benita Veliz was given a prime-time speaking slot..." That's right, an illegal immigrant activist shilling for President Obama's DREAM Act (aka amnesty). But, "54% of likely [American] voters oppose the DREAM Act, compared to 38% who support its passage... U.S. registered voters support stricter enforcement of immigration law over 'integrating illegal immigrants into American society' 68% to 24%." Veliz spoke of the opportunities accorded her as an illegal, opportunities which could of been extended to actual U.S. citizens, but she might just have been prevaricating about her supposed heart-warming story. According to CNSNews.com:
... In her speech, Veliz claimed to be "from San Antonio, Texas, saying that she was "like so many Americans."
"My name is Benita Veliz and I'm from San Antonio, Texas. Like so many Americans, of all races and backgrounds, I was brought here as a child," Veliz said. "I've been here ever since."
However, her profile on the activist website dreamactivist.org reveals that she came to the United States from Mexico at age 8 on a tourist visa and that her family then illegally overstayed. ...
In addition, according to the LA Times:
... In 2009, she allegedly rolled through a stop sign and was stopped by a police officer. Veliz had a Mexican consular card but no driver's license. She was booked in jail overnight, and the police contacted immigration authorities. That started deportation proceedings against her. ...
Hmmm... An illegal engaged in illegal acts. Must I point out the obvious, from FreeAdvice:
... Citizens of other countries must apply to be admitted to the United States. The ability to visit, study, and work in the United States is governed by immigration law. ... visas ... giv[e] the non-citizen permission to enter the United States legally and remain there to visit or work for a specified period of time. Implicit in [visas] is the person's intent to return to his or her country of origin. ... illegal aliens is a term broadly used to characterize individuals who either entered without inspection or remained in the United States without permission.
If Veliz were such a roll model, what happened to her implicit intent to return to Mexico? She's being disingenuous on top of being illegal. She feels entitled to break another country's laws, despite of its inherently generous nature.
Of course, President "Hope" himself fixed things for the Democrats' prime time speaker. "...Veliz was ultimately spared deportation after President Obama signed an executive order to halt the deportation of some young illegal immigrants." Note that executive order was the, "Obama administration's latest attempt at amnesty ... a lawless act and an end run around American citizens and their representatives in Congress... [and] a hostile act toward the millions of legal residents looking for jobs."
Just what special interest groups are Democrats pandering to with perverse acts like Veliz's prime time speech at the DNC? If they had any brains, they'd realize that, according to USAToday:
Hispanics are growing more divided about how they view illegal immigration, and native-born Hispanics aren't as convinced of the contributions of illegal immigrants as they used to be, according to a study ...
Hispanics are split when asked to assess the effect of illegal immigration on Hispanics living in the United States: 29% say it has had a positive impact, 31% negative and 30% believe it made no difference, according to the study by the non-partisan Pew Hispanic Center. That is a sharp decline from a 2007 survey, when 50% of Hispanics said illegal immigrants were having a positive impact. ...
What delusions do Democrats harbor about illegals? Are they planning on bringing bus-loads of illegals out in November to cast ballots illegally, just like in the old tradition of dead, Chicago Democrats voting? As with the majority of aberrant issues in their misguided campaign platform, Democrats certainly are on the wrong side of the fence when it comes to American immigration policies.

It’s not the first time a bunch of DemocRAT freeloaders cheered somebody who is breaking U.S. laws and it won’t be the last.
The word is flout, not flaunt.
PING
It is the way of the Rats to round up all the huddle, starving masses unto their Plantation.
And make everyone else pay to house, feed & doctor them.
Great way to buy votes!!
FLOUT laws, not flaunt laws. Please.

Thanks Rifleman. Someone must protect the language.
I would argue that the rule of law being subverted by the rule of man is comparable to being subverted by mob rules (e.g. polls). It all depends on which poll, how the poll is done, who does the poll, and how the poll is interpreted and even reported in the media.
Who cares what the poll(s) supposedly says -we got law(s)!
UNLESS, of course, you're a vote-crazed Democrat, like Ohaha. This jerk is on his kness, all puckered up, sucking up to the criminal latino underworld for votes.
The latino criminal underworld is financing its activities w/ our tax dollars---why should they go home?
Back in Mexico and other Third World hellholes, they are personna non grata---buncha lowlifes barely existing on refired beans and rice. Here they're getting rich off their criminal activities. Read more below.
The super-secretive criminal latino underworld is now infesting the US political system. The collusive tight-knit coterie of conspiratorial political operatives have one goal----to loot the public treasury, and act as a pressure group to advance the Third World's ambitions.
All attempts to lift the veil of criminality is met with cries of foul. But that should not be a deterrent. There's an abundance of evidence.
======================================================
"American Greed," the excellent CNBC cable series, showcased the nefarious activitues of Cali's "Financial Plus" in which two Mexicans targeted latino immigrants in a fake investment scam to "invest home equity" via the then-booming Cali real estate cycle.
The father/son Mexican shysters bribed and colluded with a latino BofA insider----Donny Gonzales---to falsify bank documents. Father and son shysters---Juan and Harold Rangel---- ran Spanish language ads--and got $35 million from about 500 latino homeowners----hamburger flippers, lawn mowers, and such, who cannot even speak English. One latino woman had $200,000 to invest (that she lost to the Mexican shysters).
(Snix) Where do these "impoverished" latinos get all this money to invest? The answer is they, too, are scamming---they are scamming the US govt and stealing from taxpayers. American taxpayers working for a living are slaving to pay taxes and household expenses----but the latino criminal underworld is well-organized---theur henchmen are pouring over the border to rig the system for themselves---riding the US gravy train under multiple fraudulent identities. And jerks like Obama are aiding and abetting these frauds.
=========================================================
The Congressional Hispanic Institute, Inc, is an entity organized by latino underworld kingpin Cong Joe Baca (D-Cali) in his capacity as head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Cong Baca created "HOGAR" (Spanish for home) in 2003 to work with the mortgage industry, lender and banks and latino community groups to increase mortgage lending to what savvy observers considered to be unqualified Latinos.
"HOGAR" colluded w/ Cong Baca in what was to become a massive bilking of taxpayers. Crime kingpin Cong Baca calculatedly hyped the fact that the national Latino homeownership rate was 47%, compared with 68% for the overall population.
HOGAR's efforts were to ensure that by the end of the decade illegal latinos will share equally in the American Dream of home ownership." HOGAR and Cong Baca conned the public, failing to note that most of the "dreamers" were illegals, citizens of Third World countries who had violated US borders.
As the subprime debacle unfolded---saddling taxpayers w/ $$billions in bailouts---HOGAR declined repeated requests for comment despite the economic havoc their activities precipitated.
These mortgage schemes demonstrated the criminal activities of border violators with multiple identities---perhaps violent, terrorist-connected foreigners---colluding and conspiring to defraud private companies and public entities. And mortgage racketeering enterprises which employed sub rosa finance and business practices to carry out deceptions and frauds.
The crime syndicate of swindlers included a Congresman, illegals with multiple identities--all colluding to cheat the US govt and taxpayers out of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Rivera calculatedly used tax dollars to install her various lovers in tax-paid jobs: (1) to wine and dine her, (2) to bed her down, (3) to sign off on payments to her son and other relatives, and, (4) to illegally siphon off tax dollars for her election campaigns.
Rivera steered hundreds of thousands of tax dollars ostensibly to "help the poor" in the poverty-stricken Bronx slum of illgal latinos---via the Bronx Council for Economic Development, controlled and tax-funded by the Rivera crime family.
The extended Rivera crime family is a collusive tight-knit coterie of political operatives in the crime-laced latino uderworld. Naomi Rivera is facing several state and federal probes for using tax dollars for sex, by giving two of her lovers government jobs.
Naomi's son GianCarlo Fret, 29, raked in tens of thousands of tax dollars in government jobs----and pocketed suspiciously odd amounts from public coffers that appear to be supportinng a "habit."
Giancarlo was a $22,335 student assistant at the NY state Department in 2008 and part of 2009. At that time the NY State Dept was run by Lorraine Cortez-Vazquez, a former president of the Bronx-based tax-funded crime syndicate---the Hispanic Federation. The Federation scored an astounding $22 million in public funds (that they admit to---could be much more). Cortez-Vasquez was also a board member of Naomi's non-profit--- the do-nothing tax-funded Bronx Council for Economic Development.
Rivera hired her son's live-in as a "constituent liaison" in her tax-funded legislative office, paying Rubio up to $27,063 a year between 2008 and 2010, records show. The live-in also got a suspicious-sounding $700 in 2007 from Riveras campaign war-chest and another $60 in 2008 from the Democrat partys treasury controlled by Naomi's father, Jose Rivera (a crime kingpin who is also a state legislator and Dem party boss).
State legisaltor Jose Rivera and Dem Party boss gave his grandson an odd-sounding $1,675 in "consulting" fees between June and July from the Bronx Democratic Trustees Committee, controlled by Jose Rivera.
Giancarlo also got a financial windfall as a $10.34 an hour temporary clerk at the Bronx Board of Elections from 2004 to 2005; his uncle, Naomi's brother, Joel, is married to Valerie Vazquez, director of communications and public affairs for the NYC Board of Elections.

ANOTHER KINGPIN HOLDING PUBLIC OFFICE---FEATURED DEM CONVENTION SPEAKER Every govt budget, agency, and bank account under San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro's control should be examined with a fine-tooth comb for government fraud, racketeering, conspiracy, collusion, nepotism, secret LLC accounts, and money laundering, wire fraud, tax evasion, etc, etc, etc.
However, her profile on the activist website dreamactivist.org reveals that she came to the United States from Mexico at age 8 on a tourist visa and that her family then illegally overstaye ... In 2009, she allegedly rolled through a stop sign and when stopped by a police officer, "like so many Americans" Veliz had a Mexican consular card but no driver's license. She was booked in jail overnight, and immigration authorities started deportation proceedings against her......
....but she's still here, breaking laws and riding the US gravy train
Hmmmm..... guess she will have to use one of her other identities-----one that has no criminal record. Each identity sucking up mucho US tax dollars, UI checks, welfare checks, didabilitychecks, EITC refunds, etc etc etc. Wonder how much money little Benita is laundering--- and wiring back to secret Mexican bank accounts? dentities?
NEED TO KNOW Did she get in-state tuition? Did her parents (or other illegals) falsely declare them on federal apps to get $$$thousands in EITC refunds----maybe falsely stating their "kids" (existent and non-existent) were back home across the border?
DID SHE AND HER PARENTS SWINDLE THE US GOVT? DID THEY OBTAIN FRAUDULENT MORTGAGES? MORTGAGES THAT DEVSTATED THE US ECONOMY? THAT US TAXPAYERS WERE FORCED TO BAILOUT?
“The stats are formidable-—America is four-square against illegal aliens.
UNLESS, of course, you’re a vote-crazed Democrat, like Ohaha. “
His own ‘progressives’ don’t even agree with him on immigration, especially Ill Imm...they agree with us!~

You got that right-—it’s been reported that even in liberal La La Land Cali-—they are appalled at latinos’ billion dollar theft via fraudulent EITC refunds.
Not to mention the $$$billions taxpayers are stuck w/ from sub-prime mtges latinos secured fraudulently and later defaulted on.
