A counter protest sign idea:
"Basta!
Vaheémonos!"
Rough translation - "Shut up! Get out!"
Who is financing these marches? The Democratic party?

Jimmy Carter AGAIN
"Undocumented" Criminals
When President Jimmy Carter took office in 1977, he appointed immigrant "rights" activist Leonel J. Castillo to head the INS. Castillo adopted the grotesque euphemism "undocumented workers" as the official INS designation for illegal immigrants. In an address to the Border Patrol Academy in June 1977, Castillo described border guards as "the front-line soldiers in President Carter's war against human rights violators. Possibly no other government agency has a greater opportunity to demonstrate to the world our concern for human rights than those of us in the immigration service."
In April 1977, President Carter announced that his vision of "human rights" would require some variety of general amnesty for illegal immigrants. In August of that same year he submitted to Congress a framework for immigration reform which included various forms of amnesty for illegal aliens, as well as penalties for employers who knowingly hired illegals and a modest increase in funding for the INS and Border Patrol. When those proposals were rejected by Congress, Carter assembled a commission headed by Reverend Theodore Hesburgh with a mandate to create another framework for immigration reform.
In May 1981, the Hesburgh Commission issued its "findings," which essentially regurgitated the Carter Administration's rejected proposals: A general amnesty for illegal aliens, coupled with employer sanctions and a modest increase in funding for border enforcement. These recommendations were incorporated into the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), which was sold to an anxious American public as a definitive "solution" to the crisis of illegal immigration. Alas, like so many other "solutions" urged upon us by the ruling Establishment, the IRCA exacerbated the problem it was supposedly intended to fix.
On May 5, 1987, the INS opened 107 "legalization centers" across the country to begin granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens residing here. Under the provisions of the IRCA, illegal aliens who could demonstrate continuous residence in the U.S. since January 1, 1982 had one year to apply for legal resident status, and were eligible for citizenship within five years. This was an unforgivable affront to law-abiding Americans, including immigrants who had patiently undergone the trying process of acquiring legal citizenship. It was also an act of capitulation which emboldened millions of others to violate our borders in anticipation of similar amnesties in the future.
Among the INS agents who helped implement the IRCA's amnesty provisions was William King, a former chief of the Border Patrol and the first director of the Border Patrol Academy. "IRCA was supposed to be a three-legged stool," King recalled to THE NEW AMERICAN. "A lot of us who had served in the Border Patrol weren't happy with amnesty, but we thought it might be a good trade-off in exchange for employer sanctions and border enhancement."
However, observes King, the only tangible result of the IRCA has been a pool of "several hundred thousand people who have broken our laws who now have green cards and are becoming eligible for citizenship. And once they do, they can begin the process of 'chain immigration' by bringing in their relatives."
Not surprising.
Why else would the AFL-CIO be supporting these people?
The Democrats will sell out to anyone, and cheap. These are not fun times, but so what? It's about being right, that's all.
I'll bet the Democrats aren't telling the immigrants how they consistently oppose qualified Hispanics nominated by President Bush to be judges. Or that the only Congressman born in Cuba is Republican U.S. Senator Mel Martinez (FL). Or that former Democrat Attorney General Janet Reno sent the boy Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba.
If Congress wants illegal aliens to become citizens, fine, draft 'em...take all of them between 18 & 30 years of age into the Army! Let them learn some respect.
So the Democrats are once again showing that they're "just as patriotic, etc." as we are by signing up Mexican nationals to vote in our national elections.
Does anybody even bother to point out to these clowns that illegal immigrant votes are BY DEFINITION illegitimate, and can be challenged in court if the Republican candidate has the guts to pursue the case?
That's no surprise. The GOP is too stupid to do the same thing. This is how the RAT party will take back the Senate and the House in the fall. The RINOS who vote to allow amnesty will be replaced by Mexicans, and it will serve them right. In 08 they will take back the White House too.
do I really have to say it???
man.. today was just horrible. how low can the dems sink? just blatant vote whoring all around
This can't be true. Everyone knows that Demos recruit voters from cemeteries.
The fact that the Dems are recruiting at these protests isn't a surprise. It fits into their big picture of race and politics (which is why the flyer's visual puts Texas and Mexico together). The Democrats classify people based upon race and then work to corner the racial voting collectives."
Well, all these people are being played like a fiddle. From the sounds of it, they utterly enjoy the pied piper's tune...
