Well they should be, this crap has gone on way too long in both parties.
This is an editorial by Terry Anderson, a radio host. He has commented many times about Waters and how they as a black community cannot get across to her how their lives are being affected by illegal immigration. It's all about money, Maxine, be damned the black voter. What a piece of crud she is.
African-Americans drowning in wave
of illegal immigration
By TERRY ANDERSON
THE black community has made great strides in the last few
decades. Racism has certainly not been eradicated, but it is no
longer accepted with a wink and a nod as it once was. We are
proud to see Secretary of State Colin Powell, even when we do
not agree with everything he does. The same with Condoleezza
Rice, the president's national security adviser, and many others.
That's the good news.
The bad news is that in some regions we black folks are so
overwhelmed by the huge numbers of immigrants that we are
being displaced in our schools, jobs and neighborhoods.
That may seem a harsh thing for a black person to say against
brown people, but I don't see it that way. I am an American,
proud of both my nation and my race. What I see in my
community of South Central Los Angeles -- where I have lived
nearly all my life -- is thousands of Mexicans who care nothing
about our traditions and culture, and only want to impose their
way on us. That's not immigration, that is invasion.
It is sad what has happened in my neighborhood. This was a
respectable, blue-collar area of hard-working black folks living in
their bungalows and going to their jobs. In just a couple decades it
has become almost entirely Mexican. They live several families to
a three-bedroom house and keep chickens in the yard, but the
city doesn't care about the zoning violations or the noise of having
so many crowded into a small space.
According to the Census Bureau, nearby Watts is now 60 percent
Hispanic, and it was previously the black community on the West
Coast. No longer.
The immigration situation is really hard on our young people. A
17-year-old kid on my street couldn't get a job at McDonald's
because he didn't speak Spanish. Another young neighbor boy
was thrown into a bilingual classroom at age 8 and was forced to
listen to Spanish all day long. His six-hour school day was turned
into three hours. When his mother asked for an English-only class,
she was told "there are none."
Would you believe that I, a black man, have been called a racist
many times for speaking up against this invasion? I have a radio
program on the subject and therefore hear from a lot of people,
even some in Mexico.
When they call me a racist, I put this question to them: What if a
hundred thousand Vietnamese were suddenly dropped into
Guadalajara? And what if those newcomers didn't speak Spanish,
and further insisted that their children be taught in Vietnamese?
What would you think if they were happy to work for half the
normal wages for any job they could get, thereby putting
thousands of your local Guadalajarans out of work? Would it be
racist to say there was a problem?
When people of good will and good sense hear the situation put
that way, nearly all understand and respect my viewpoint.
Now if only they would listen in Washington. America's political
leaders are the problem. They have been selling out this great
nation for real and imaginary political benefits while ignoring the
dangers. Even after Sept. 11, nothing has been done to plug up
our borders. Another terrorist attack could be 10 times worse,
and it would likely happen because Congress and the president
learned nothing about the need to keep the nation's borders
secure.
If I sound angry, you hear right. Like other Americans, I want
immigration to be legal, controlled and reduced. But as a black
American, I see that the burden my people must carry is heavier
than for many others. I am sure that if Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
were alive, he would understand the fundamental unfairness to the
black community of allowing more immigration than the nation can
handle.
But no, they put it in for the ignorant reader to see as an abbreviation for Republican.
"We are not bad people." Oh, I beg to differ. You and your tribe are nothing more than thieves taking advantage of your position. Resign now!
I think Maxine Waters is fine congresswoman and there are no skeletons in her closet __NOT!

Can you imagine seeing a disclaimer like this is it was a Republican in the story???
Representative Maxine Water-on-the-brain sounds like a typical democrat politician, upto her ears in graft.
Same money laundering scheme used by some black churches.
Candidates pay thousands of dollars for a business size ad in the church's voter guide.
In presidential election years when the DNC only puts money into battleground states the preachers don't get new cars.
A small price to pay considering the alternative.
Afterall, it was Marxine Waters who issued the dictum to her minions concerning the jury deliberations of the Rodney King case, "No justice, no peace."
Marxine's Watts constituents proceeded to burn down half her district after the guilty verdict.

Well, she was never going to make any money posing for Playboy.
One of the most despicable human beings on the planet. She is as much a waste of oxygen as anyone on California's death row.
Pure BS.....She was hired because of who her mother is.
C'mon now, this has to be lie of the year!
Exactly WHO is going to pursue a criminal investigation of Maxine Waters?
The same DoJ that yawns about Sandy Berger walking off with classified documents in his pants? The same DoJ that yawns about CBS's attempt to fix a Presidential election using forged military memos?
Nothing will happen. It's just another yawner.
"Her son, Edward Waters, 49, a high school basketball coach and political consultant,"
Now there is a combination you don't see every day....political consultant by day....basketball coach by night. Only in America.
Al Sharpton, that starr jones woman, now Maxine waters. They just love getting things that aren't earned.
Wasn't ol' NAG hag Maxine one of the chief whiners complaining about "the man" wanting to investigate mismanagement of funds at the King-Drew Medical Center?? They better start investigating HER -- maybe she was getting some under-the-table money from there, too.
Yes, Waters' husband's travel-agent connection was reported back when Cuba was a hot topic on FR during the Elian Gonzalez fiasco.
