Politicians were at these demonstrations, of course. Most of them were Democrats, of course. Hillary Clinton said: "Your faces are the faces of America. Now isn't that special! Hillary Clinton believes that people who violate our laws and invade our country are the face of America. What kind of America is she talking about? Maybe one day we'll find out. Ted Kennedy was there too, acting the fool: "Do you love America?" he said. Then he stood there waving his clenched hands in a victory gesture. What are these illegal aliens going to say? No? Not one of these politicians at the demonstrations had anything to say about the American people. Citizens born here and those who came legally to become citizens were the forgotten people yesterday.

THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE CITIZENS!!!! THEY WANT OPEN BORDERS!!!!
They want us to be more like the EU. We will be a coalition and not a sovereign nation. They think they deserve all that we have built for generations. Our forefathers fought to make this country what it is and now its ripe for the taking. The whole thing makes me sick. How dare foreigners come into OUR country and demand anything is beyond comprehension. Man, we have dug ourselves one deep hole.
"Hello .... ???? voter registration for ILLEGALS ???"
Sure. "Undocumented voters".
Excellent examples. I agree with you. Respect has to be earned. My father came to this country from Holland in 1914 with his parents and two brothers. After visiting Ellis Island several years ago, I learned just what the immigrants of that time had to go through to get into this country. When they got here, they assimilated themselves into the culture of this country. It isn't like that today. People don't appreciate what they don't have to fight for, nor do they appreciate something they haven't had to work and wait for. The fact is, the more privileges you give people, the more they demand, and once you give them, it's very hard to take them back.
I live in a community that is being built by Mexican workers ... literally thousands of them. Every day I wake up to the sound of trucks and bulldozers, etc. But yesterday was an exception ... the entire site was totally quiet ... no construction at all?
I look at the CROWDS on TV ... and we must admit, those were impressive numbers that turned up ... and wondered where they all came from. Then I thought about how quiet it was around here.
I'm not a conspiracy nut, but I am wondering if a "memo went out" to corporate America (Chamber of Commerce?) and encouraged employers to give thier workers the day off if they would go to the nearby rally. I'm surpirsed that "memo" hasn't surfaced yet ... betcha' it exists.
Of course she does:
she was the one, after all, who pressured her husband to release a bunch of murderous Puerto Rican terrorists from prison.
"I wonder if America has lost it's will. Everyone is out for themselves, regardless of the impact to anyone else. The politicians want power so badly that they're willing to destroy the country to do it. "
Indeed. I watched the rally on CSPAN and was angered at the mass of illegal aliens angrily demanding the full rights of citizens and the removal of borders. I expected others would react similarly, but when CSPAN took calls nearly everyone supported the immigrants. These were not people with foreign accents that you would expect would support the illegals, they sounded like native born Americans. I don't know how this country can survive when probably 50% of US citizens seem to hate their own country.
One of the major arguments in favor of amnesty is that it would be nearly impossible to round up 11 million illegals. Watching TV the last several days we saw rallies in various cities - a 1/4 million here, 400,000 there - all around the US. Adding up the estimated attendance at these various rallies and assuming most are illegals I'd say there were 3-4 million illegals served up and ready to go. We just needed someone with the guts to give the order.

We aren't going to survive. This country is following Europe into rapid decline and eventual anarchy followed by the most repressive measures since the Romans.
I never thought I would say this, but after seeing the crowds who are marching for a takeover, I realize it is sadly true.
My original American ancestors on my fathers side came to Massachusetts Bay colony in 1634. To get here they had to have permission from the English government to immigrate to the colony. They could not just "show up". In order to immigrate Richard had to have a trade (wheelright) that was deemed useful in the colony. He, his wife and children had to book passage on the ship Elizabeth which also had to have a charter from the English government to bring settlers to the colony.
My mother came to the United States from Germany in 1955. She had to come into the country at a US Government Port of Entry (New York City). When she arrived, she was examined for health and to make sure she had a sponsor here in the States. Once she checked out, she was admitted. She had to report her current address every January and to report any change of address within 10 days of changes. She also could not just show up, cross the border and go on her way.
"I don't know how this country can survive when probably 50% of US citizens seem to hate their own country."
The short answer is... it won't. And that will please most of the world, until they realize what they've lost.
They also want the key to the Treasury. And we're handing it to them. Just look at the "Share U.S. Social Security with Mexico" plan put forward by the Bush administration with the blessing of the likes of Kennedy, which no one anywhere is doing anything to stop. Kiss your benefits goodbye while sharing them with 100 million Mexicans. This is in addition to welfare, food stamps, WIC, "affordable" housing (affordable because someone else is paying for it), free medical care and legal counsel.

As much as it pains me to say this, the way things are going I too think that the American experiment is headed for failure. We will be brought down from within by a media and school system that denegrate our society and values; politician who pander to a tyranny of the unproductive who demand endless benefits without making any contributions; a coalition of liberals, and illegal aliens demanding the elimination of the southern border and a defacto merger with mexico. The main culprit is a lack of will to stand up for traditional American values. Until millions of traditional Americans march in the streets demanding a return to sanity, we cannot hope to recover.
My wife and I were at medical clinic about 4 months ago. While there we were next to a seemingly poor couple who spoke absolutely no English and I would be willing to bet, were most likely illegals.
They were having an invitro fertilization procedure performed. If you don't know, that costs about $20,000-30,000 and is not covered by most insurance policies (we are not covered).
How they paid for the procedure is anybody's guess.

Lawyers...leftist lawyers who have remade priviliges into rights and capitalism into psuedocommunism need to be taken to task.
It is so sad to witness what our country has become. I can't imagine what it will be like for my children, nevermind grandchildren. I was just reading in our local paper remarks from some of the protesters. One of them said by us citizens wanting our laws enforced we have awoken the sleeping giant. I believe they have it backwards. They have poked the real sleeping giant right in the eye. There may be 12 to 20 million of them but there is alot more of us. I think this whole thing is going to backfire big time on them. This whole issue has been simmering long enough.
""Hello .... ???? voter registration for ILLEGALS ???""
Some idiot from LULAC stated y'day that NO ILLEGAL (he didn't use that term) HAS EVER REGISTERED TO VOTE! NEVER!
I say BS. I watched as two illegals in front of me registered as they got illegal Driver Licenses. Neither could speak a word of English and had to be helped by the Black bi-lingual clerk at MVD.
Sure, no illegals ever register!!!
There were school systems that encouraged their 'students' to join in the demonstrations and get credits for the 'civic involvement'. Rush Limbaugh pointed this out yesterday. In democrap controlled political districts it is likely local government employees were sent to the 'rallies' to recruit future voters (legal or not ... dead people vote regularly for democrap candidates).
Because our own government isn't reacting to this action as an insurrection, which it cleary is, one wonders why. Clearly the insurrection has been orchestrated by domestic and international communists and socialists, and the government that is tasked to preserve individual liberty by the Constitution, does not react to the insurrection itself. When you look at the activities of the government in recent months, you see active work on the North American Union. This insurrection has all the appearance of a tool to forward the union of Canada and Mexico with the US, with an eye toward hemispheric unification.
With this in mind, how do the citizens convince our INS and our other enforcment agencies to do their jobs? Shouldn't we be putting pressure on them as well as Congress and the White house?
I heard a statistic yesterday that blew me away: 10% of Mexicans now reside in the U.S. and 85% of them are here illegally. In 10 years it will likely be that 20%+ will live here. This doesn't include those illegals who come here from Canada, Central America and those who overstay their visas from the Middle East, etc.
The American people are frightened because we see our country and culture disappearing. We are being overrun by people who do not value our culture or history. Our government is willing to give out cherished American citizenship like cheap, plastic Mardi Gras beads to people who don't even want it. They just want to stay here and reap the benefits - paid for by you and me.
You got it. Socialism didn't work in Mexico, because they didn't have enough wealth to divide, so having been indoctrinated, they'are coming here to appropriate what we have built -- with our government's help. They screwed up their own country and now they've come here to screw up ours.
