Georgia State Capitol Building (Washington Street side of Capitol)
Promoted by WGKA Radio AM 920 and a growing list of other Georgia radio stations. Americans must make their own voices heard in America. SECURE OUR BORDERS! ENFORCE OUR LAWS! NO AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS OR THEIR EMPLOYERS!
Listen to WGKA Radio and a growing number of other radio stations for announcements. We have all seen illegal aliens and those who support amnesty fearlessly march in opposition of American laws and borders. It is time to show oru own resolve. SPEAK UP AMERICA!
We are requesting that you take a few hours out of your life to protect our national future. We tried amnesty in 1986. LOOK AROUND, AMNESTY DOES NOT STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!
Please bring either an American flag or a placard stating something like: "SECURE OUR BORDERS!", "ENFORCE OUR LAWS!" or simply "NO AMNESTY!" Speakers include Dr. Geraldine Wade M.D., Phil Kent (Americans for Immigration Control), Jeff Hermann (Atlanta area business man), and D.A. King (The Dustin Inman Society). We are peaceably assembling to demand secure borders and equal application of American law. NO OTHER AGENDA OR ACTION WILL BE TOLERATED!

Most Common Sense Article on Illegal Immigration!
# 2 Stu Bykofsky - In the immigration argument, one side talks about "illegal aliens." The other side talks about "undocumented workers," or (even better) about "displaced human beings," as if their humanity were somehow the issue. It is not. Nor is the issue "immigration." That's a red herring thrown in to poison the debate. This issue is ILLEGAL immigration. It is not about whether illegals are hard-working, decent, God-fearing, or musically inclined. It is not even about whether they take jobs Americans will or will not do. It is about playing by the rules. It is that simple
Homey Don't Play That

Five passengers are illegal immigrants and will be deported.

# 4 Tom Tancredo: Standing Out From the Fray
NOTE:
There already is a plan at the Arizona Legislature to ban loans and mortgages based on tax identification numbers.
Next target: Companies that do business with illegals- The next big battle in the immigration wars could move beyond denying employment to undocumented immigrants and punishing companies that hire them. Now, there is talk of restricting or prohibiting companies from doing business with illegals.If approved, that could impact myriad industries regulated or licensed by government entities. Banks, financial-service firms, landlords, health care providers, nonprofit organizations and preschools all count undocumented immigrants as customers and all could be impacted by new restrictions.
Harsh measures for those hiring illegals - Investigations into the employment of illegal immigrants, known as worksite enforcement, resulted in 127 criminal convictions in 2005 nationwide, up from 46 the previous year, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reported.

GOP releases immigration ad- Republicans Monday mounted a new offensive over immigration reform, releasing a Spanish-language ad lambasting U.S. congressional Democrats. The ad accuses Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., of obstructionism and accuses House Democrats of attempting to turn illegal immigrants into felons. The ad is airing on Hispanic stations in Reno, Nev., Las Vegas, Phoenix and Tucson. The 60-second ad says terrorists and drug smugglers are crossing U.S. borders and though Republicans are working to plug the holes, Democrats are sitting by idly or actively blocking efforts.

Highlights of major immigration proposals - Plan aims to end illegal immigration through more aggressive enforcement, tougher penalties on employers and immigrants, and greater controls at the border
NOTE:
But this time, the rallies have also produced counter-protests.
"I am tired of people coming across with impunity,” said one Dallas resident. “We don't know who is here. We don't know what diseases they have."
Another said, "I am think that there's 360 million Americans who need to start standing up for their country before we give it away."
Immigration Stirs up Pro and Anti-Immigration Forces - WASHINGTON - Hundreds of thousands of protesters are marching for immigration reforms today. And those reforms could be on the way when the Senate reconvenes. Even while the Senate is on a two-week Easter break, its stalled immigration bill is drawing a lot of attention. Talks over a compromise bill broke down at the end of last week, leaving the Senate without a resolution on immigration reform. But some senators say those talks will resume - and possibly produce a bill - when they return. But others are not waiting for Congress to take action.
Lou Dobbs Ping! Guess it doesn't pay to publicly pick on the illegals, eh? Way to go, Lou! 73 posted on 04/16/2006 10:32:34 PM CDT by HiJinx
Great the other side is branching out!
INVASION USA - Illegal-alien activists target Lou Dobbs 'Ax AOL' campaign designed to pressure CNN parent company to fire newsman- While Dobbs has become an almost legendary hero to Americans who feel abandoned by their government on the illegal alien issue, he is being vilified in many other quarters.
NOTE: The Southern Poverty Law Center, another radical group, is also attacking Dobbs – claiming his reports on immigration fail to acknowledge anti-Hispanic racism is at the root of concerns about illegal immigration.
AND: Indian-Americans have also launched their own petition to get Dobbs dumped.
Even someone Dobbs has had on his show as a guest commentator is getting into the act of calling for his firing by CNN. Enrique Morones, an activist from Southern California, has reportedly written a letter to the president of CNN calling for Dobbs' head.
