This thread is meant to be a discussion on what we, the citizens of the United States, can do to make our politicians aware that we are fed up with the invasion of our country by illegal aliens. How can we fight back? What are our options? Which options have the best chance of working?
We have a chance to put some pressure on our elected representatives because this is an election year. The only real weapon we have to use against our representatives is our vote.
There has been some discussion as to what we might be able to do on several other threads. Some ideas suggested were:
A national rally and march to be held at some future date in Washington, D.C. that should be done before our legislators pass any new bill concerning the illegal aliens.
A campaign to send postcards informing our representatives on our feelings about the illegal aliens.
Make telephone calls to our representatives' offices.
Some other options:
Rallys and marches in several main locations around the country on the same day, such as in Washington, D.C., a city in Texas and a city in California.
Rallys and marches in many cities around the country on the same day.
A petition campaign where volunteers gather signatures of registered voters and forward the petitions to our representatives.
In addition to what I have here, FReepers are encouraged to add their own ideas or to pick the plan that they think will work the best. Discuss the advantages and drawbacks of any plan.
I think the rally and march ideas will be the hardest plan to execute. Permits will be required which would not be that much of a problem. Enlisting guest speakers, getting P.A. equipment together, paying for sanitation facilities (portapotties), paying for cleanup and paying for insurance and security make this the most difficult option. Travel and lodging make this option somewhat time consuming and expensive. There is also the possibility of violence being instigated by the other side.
I favor a petition campain. Here is why and here is how I think we could work it.
Many on FR would be willing to send in a postcard. But if friends, acquantinces and co-workers are approached about sending their representative a postcard many simply would not bother to do it. Too much work for them.
It would be much easier to get them to sign their names and addresses on a petition. It is something that they could do immediately.
If each interested person on FR could print up a petition and get 20 signatures on it and send it in that could mean a lot of signatures.
If each interested person on FR could get 20 signatures on a petition and pass out other petitions to his friends and other interested people to get 20 signatures on, that would be a lot more signatures. The FReeper could collect all the petitions from his friends and others and send them all in at once.
We need some ideas on how the petition should be worded. Most of us have printers and we can print our own petitions.
In addition to the petition, FReepers could be encouraged to call and to write their representatives. Let them know that we mean business.
Please discuss any ideas you have on this thread. What do you think is the best idea or combination of ideas? Do you have any ideas to add?
We need to generate an offense, so let's roll!
BUMP! To The Top!
Well, it means something like this: If you have the means of defending yourself but choose instead to take a beating so the neighbors won't call you a bully-you might as well be helpless.
I am new here so please be gentle...I think that the rolling caravan idea may work but it needs to happen in every state to every capitol. The logistics will have to be worked out. Also keep in mind that all the marching illegals had their radio stations involved. Does anyone know if we get our favorite talk show hosts to help recruit?
I've sent a few emails out to Hannity, Rush and Jim Quinn last week about a rally but I have gotten no responses from them.
All of us are glad you are here. Thanks for taking the time and effort.
The illegals are out-organizing us.
That should be an insult to us all.
Sorry it took so long to reply but I was delayed. I have emailed Senators, called the White House, sent letters to the editor of the local paper (not that it will be printed) and ranted and raved to my family & friends to the point that they won't let me discuss this with them any longer...but I still find myself wanted to do something. I just don't know where to start. And I believe that you are right about the out organizing part.
P.S. Thanks for making me feel welcome!
I am finding it hard to watch the news about the illegals lately. They are making them out to be some kind of hero's.
I am getting very disgusted and disillusioned.
Even if our legislators pass some kind of laws against the illegals, those laws are not going to be enforced anyway.
Our politicians are playing a shell-game with us.
FREEPER ACTIVISM---PASS THE WORD: If employers who are officers of publicly-held companies are breaking the law, using company assets illegally by employing illegal aliens, they are jeopardizing the investments of partners and shareholders.
The SEC would want to know about it. EMAIL: enforcement@SEC.gov
Another way is to inform companies who hire illegal aliens that you will not invest in companies that break the law.
Also check your mutual funds to see if they are invested in companies that employ illegals. Notify your mutual fund you do not want your money invested with companies that break the law.
Don't hire them and they will leave. If one of them cuts your grass or cleans your house you are part of the problem.
Hannity didn't reply to me either.
Let the word go out loud and clear, the immigrant invasion is a declaration of war; the illegals will go to war against the US, to overthrow the US government, in tandem with a foreign government, to allow a foreign government to occupy the several states.
This is an accurate summary of MECHA's mission statement. All of it demonstrates the mindset of invasion rather than immigration-----and The Plan by illegals to overthrow the US government.
Here's what we already know:
Reconquista Armando Navarro 'Ethnic Studies' Professor at the University of California, Riverside Anti-American, Fifth-Column Menace. "Ladies and Gentlemen, what this means (the immigration bill) is a transfer of power, it means control, and it is the young people, the people who are now moving to develop an agenda for the twenty first century they are going to be in a position to really make the promise of what the Chicano movement was all about in terms of self-determination, in terms of empowerment, even in the terms of an Aztlan...."
I'm doing my part by NOT hiring them to mow my yard. If I can't mow it myself I hire some neighborhood kids to do it.
Here's the deal:
The Mexican government wants veto power over U.S. immigration policy. Outrageously, many in our own government are assuming the Hyphenate-Fellate position and are only too happy to oblige, as long as there's votes and campaign contributions to be had.
The protestors--carrying Mexican flags---and the Mexican government share the same goals: legalize Mexican illegal aliens and keep the borders open. The Mexican government sees this as a way to relieve economic pressure on their government to reform the economy.
Mexico's leaders also work to retain the loyalty of the immigrant mobs so that, even if our laws allow them to become American citizens, they retain their loyalty to Mexico, and are subjects of the Mexican government.
In the Mexican Congress, it was recently announced that a document would be drafted, to show support for the protest marches in our country. The Mexican government published advertisements in leading American newspapers calling for the legalization of illegal immigrants (those in the United States, not in Mexico) and "a far-reaching guest workers scheme." Not only that, said the ads, but "in order for a US guest workers program to be viable, Mexico should participate in its design, management, supervision and evaluation."
Ruben Aguilar, spokesman for President Vicente Fox, made this statement to support the marches: "The recent protests carried out in different places in the United States are indicative of the imminent necessity of a migratory accord that corresponds to the interests of both countries, and that especially to the defense of the rights of migrants. The government of the (Mexican) Republic ratifies its commitment to the Mexicans who live in the United States and its intention to work in the defense of their rights ..."
EXHIBIT ONE: This is a direct violation of the Vienna Convention that prohbits foreign nationals from interferring in the political affairs of a host country. The Department of States legal affairs office has stated that foreigners on American soil interfering in the internal affairs of the US is inconsistent with the 1963 Vienna Convention that prohibits visiting foreigners from interferring in the affairs of host countries.
EXHIBIT TWO: Congress provided in the Civil Rights Act of 1866 declaring persons born in the US who are subject to a foreign power are deemed to be non-citizens of the United States. That means children of immigrants---anchor babies---and any other individuals born here---who are running around carrying Mexican flags, and following the orders of the Mexican government, are not considered US citizens under the 1866 US Civil Rights law.
2) Clean our own homes,
3) Take care of our own children,
4) Boycott anyone who employs any INVADER (aka "Illegal Alien, Undocumented Migrant, etc."),
5) Do not purchase products from any South and Central American Country as well as Mexico.
It's a start!
I cut my own yard.
I only know of one place in the area that employs illegals and they install swimming pools.
I will be turning them in soon.
I'm not surprised that no one replied.
Disappointed, but not surprised.
I've never hired an illegal to do anything. Neither have my neighbors.
There are not many of them around here. So far.
It is an invasion and a war.
Too many citizens haven't gotten the point yet.
And they won't until an illegal alien takes THEIR job.
Please take my name off of your ping list. Somewhere maica got added to a list and now others are using it on immigration threads. I avoid these threads. Thanks.
I don't have a ping list. I got your name from another immigration thread.
I guess if you don't want pinged to immigration threads you shouldn't post on them.
