On Saturday afternoon, I drove to Rockville, Md., for a large "gathering to condemn the REAL ID Act." (The act will tighten driver's license standards to prevent illegal aliens from obtaining the IDs, close asylum loopholes, and provide funding to fix a huge gap in a border fence between California and Mexico.) Casa de Maryland, a government-funded open-borders group, organized the protest on the public school athletic field at Richard Montgomery High School.
You can see the rally photos I took at my new Flickr site. Here's a sample: www.flickr.com
Several hundred "documented" and "undocumented" workers attended, demanding driver's licenses and blanket amnesty. Maryland is one of ten states that don't require applicants to prove they are citizens or legal residents. Nevertheless, militant CASA leader Gustavo Torres complained: "The MVA [Motor Vehicle Administration] has absolutely no right to ask for people's Social Security number or immigration status to get a driver's license." The illegal alien advocates led protesters in a chant demanding that the "MVA Obey The Law!"
No kidding.
A contingent of Montgomery County police officers were dispatched to the scene--not to help with immigration enforcement, but to protect the protesters, help direct traffic, and manage the parking lot for illegal aliens who (ahem!) drove to the event. Our tax dollars at work.
With Casa de Maryland organizers shouting "No license, no justice! No justice, no peace!" in the background (the only time I could understand them as they exhorted the crowd), I interviewed Montgomery County, Md., police lieutenant J.R. Hack (yeah, that's his real name). Lt. Hack amiably told me the protest was "a good thing." When I asked him why, he said "everyone should have a voice."

Law breakers chanting that the government "Obey The Law!. Only the left can understand such "reasoning".
I wonder how far this POS would get if he tried that in Mexico City!
Our party better get serious about illegal immigration, or Hillary is going to do it for us.

But while doing so, suck on an ice cube so your blood doesn't boil.
Yes, Hillary may succeed in duping people into believing she is against illegal immigration. But it was her co-president who made it easier for them to get here and vote Democrat. And if she would get in power (God forbid) she would do her utmost to undermine whatever efforts we have made to thwart the invasion.
President Bush's ridiculous stance on this issue, undermines his credibility on issues of national security and the war on terrorism. I hope that it doesn't take an election upset to make Republicans sit up and take notice of how important this issue is to many Americans.
As another poser has already pointed out, Hillary will move into the void and promote immigration enforcement. Bush and the rest of the pubbies are endanger of losing significant support in 06 and the WH in 08 if they don't wake up. Yes, I know Hillary is lying, but she will peel off a significant percentage of those who voted for Bush in 2004.
Oops "poser" = "poster"

The exchange with the police Lt. is rather interesting. Especially when Michael Graham showed up.
That was educational
ping
A little off topic, but, what do you do when the police, like Lt. Hack, start rounding up personal firearms from legal owners. Do you hide them?, refuse to surrender your weapons and get arrested?
Ask a policeman you know. He will most likely say he will enforce such an unconsitutional order.
That's called a police state folks.
You're spot on with this remark.And she'll do it by energizing the African American voters by reminding them who suffers when ilegals take these jobs. Hillary is a smart rutheless politician with no regard for anything but her own advancement( DUH). She'll ride illegals to a 350 electoral vote victory in states the Dems haven't won since LBJ.
Lets see 10 to 20 million illegals probably many more (their illegal you see) counting them ain't easy.. and is probably wrong.. Lets see, 20 million illegals say 1/2 of them get legit.. to vote.. Bush didn't win by 10 million votes..
Voila! Madaam PRESIDENTE'... The Coup D'Etat follows soon after that.. unless all those rich fat republicans get off their couches and waddle into a revolution... but that won't happen will it.. Would screw up the football season, might even cancel Oprah and Dr. Phil..
Nah! ain't happenin..
Hmmmm, Wonder what enrolling in Spanish lessons costs at my local City College these days.. Spanglish is too hard to pick up.. unless you know Spanish first..
