IMMIGRATION'S BIG BUSINESS (Senate no longer represents American citizens)
NY POST ^ | 4/16/06 | EDITORIALS

Posted on 04/16/2006 4:02:38 AM PDT by Liz

THE ISSUE: Tightened immigration control and fraudulent means to amnesty. ("Immigration-Fraud Boom," By Abby Wisse Schachter, PostOpinion, April 10).

**** .....the process to get a green card and citizenship...... isn't as cumbersome as that of some other nations. If prospective U.S. citizens don't want to follow this process, they can either stay home or return to their birthplace. It's as simple as that. Cleveland, Ohio

**** ......if the pro-amnesty forces in Washington get their way.......the multitude of illegal aliens in America will simply overload the already overloaded U.S. immigration system. Just the thought that the pro-amnesty senators and President Bush would even consider amnesty shows how dangerously out of touch they are with the workings of their own government and, more importantly, with the lives of average Americans. The Bronx

**** The Senate obviously no longer represents the American citizen. The illegal-alien situation is beyond what we are able to endure. Our social infrastructure, medical system and prison system are overwhelmed. If our senators think that a $1,000 fine will make things right for an illegal, why do they think that Americans should pay many times that amount in taxes? Calabash, N.C.

"Why would you not make that a permanent boycott"?

Let's suppose it's WAL*Mart who is going to close in solidarity with the Illegals that day.

Then we should have the Great American Boycott the following day, and just don't go to their stores. We can and should punish them as well.

Can you imagine the financial loss they would incur if they shut down for TWO days in a row? 12 Stores?

All Americans want to know is how do we get 'em TH out of our country------and it better not cost us a frigging red cent.

It costs the government $10,000 to cross the street and it usually get hit by a bus on the way over. Don't expect this to be cheap.

Whoever closes in "solidarity" with the boycott of foreign criminals, well I'll never shop at that company again. If it's Walmart then fine, I can easily live without Walmart.

Even LA's dispictable mayor admitted, in today's LA Timrs, that his amnesty email is running 500 to 1 against.

El turd claims to be a "statesman" but can't even pass the bar.

Okay, one more time: there are NO indigenous races to North, Central, and South America. Perhaps if these mouth-breathing marching morons spent more time in a classroom, they would know that. Or perhaps not.

I predict a lot of new faces in Washington, DC after this election.

Hopefully, every House and Senate race will be contested by a Real American who believes that all who wish to emigrate to the USA should do so legally.

I can guarandammtee you that I would vote for such a person!

If El Turdo admits to 500-1 it's probably more like 5000-1.

Better keep our eye on this basspole LA Mayor Antonio Villagairosa.......guy is real ambitious.

He was in NYC recently--ostensibly to meet with RINO Mayor Bloomberg.

More likely he's expanding his base on the East Coast, making contacts with invaders, as a prelude to higher office.

The President has said repeatedly that he is AGAINST amnesty.

Please tell me you are not naive enough to believe that.

I sure wish we could find those people who are out there that would protect America rather than selling it down the river. I would put them in office so fast.

Hillary flunked her bar exam in Washington DC -

The "World's Smartest Woman"?

"America's smartest woman lawyer"?


- In 1992 Hillary & Slick Willie also attempted to intimidate MENSA into accepting low sub-average SAT test scores from their PC-normed (boosted) tests.

- MENSA told the Clintons they could take MENSA tests from any of the list of MENSA approved psychiatrists.

- The Klintoons refused to do so.

So much for the alleged photographic memory of Slick Willie and sheer brilliance of Hillary Rodham Clinton!

They cannot even get into the mid-130s on an authentic IQ test!

Even JFK scored a dinky 119 -



But what do I know..........




Incidentally MENSA moved out of their Brooklyn national headquarters offices long ago - to Texas -

Hmm, well I'll creep around some Lefty/Illegal type websites and see if anyone lets the secret slip! Maybe if someone understands Spanish radio in that area they can listen in.

He is against Amnesty per se.

Bush wants those who came here ILLEGALLY to go to "the back of the line", pay a fine, pay back taxes, etc. IOW'S Bush isn't going to forgive them all the way, because they will have penalties to pay.

LaRaza and the rest of the open borders organizations are echoing his "no amnesty" charade by saying even tho the people here would be allowed to stay, it isn't true Amnesty in the real sense of the word, since TOTAL amnesty has no strings attached.

It's verbal gymnastics. It's amnesty.

If they let these illegals out of IRS penalties, can you imagine the legalities following that amnesty?

If you or I refused to file an income tax return for years on end, what would happen to us?

....The President has said repeatedly that he is AGAINST amnesty. What do these people need, a smack on the head to get them to pay attention?....

Um saying something isn't amnesty doesn't make it so..President Bush desires AMNESTY, but he doesn't have the guts to call it what it is. He is being disingenuous at best. You might want to read up before you decide who needs a "smack on the head"

President Bush also said he was against rewarding illegal behaviour which is exactly what he is proposing...

Amnesty by Any Other Name

Back in September 2001, THE NEW AMERICAN observed regarding the Bush-Fox amnesty threat: “The Bush administration has been torturing the English language in an effort to craft a new amnesty for millions of illegal aliens without saying the dread word: ‘amnesty.’ Some newly devised euphemisms include ‘regularization,’ ‘legalization,’ ‘permanent status,’ and ‘earned adjustment.’ President Bush has repeatedly dodged the amnesty issue, refusing to use the term. Still, when recently pressed on the issue, he insisted that his soon-to-be-revealed immigration policy vis-à-vis Mexico will not include a ‘blanket amnesty.’”

http://www.stoptheftaa.org/artman/publish/article_91.shtml

Amnesty means no punishment and a reward for law-breaking. And that is exactly what Bush is proposing. In his guest worker program, those who broke our laws and broke into our country get to stay and work for six years, then go home on sabbatical, then return to work permanently. What is that, if not rewarding law-breaking?

http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=10711

In 1986, though, President Reagan showed a clear recognition between wrong and right. If U.S. employers were to gain from the employment of people whose very presence in our country was a crime, then they would at least have to pay for it.

How far we’ve come since 1986. At the moment, there are two amnesty bills pending in Congress, and both predicate an illegal aliens’ eligibility on the very thing that President Reagan fought so hard to stamp out: illegal alien employment

We'd be fined if we refused to pay taxes, accordingly.

But are you aware that several states have had State Income Tax Amnesty Programs?

Wanna bet the Illegals ride that gravy train as well?

Well my very preliminary search turned up three news articles all of which are bemoaning the fact that it's hard to get the illegals to keep skipping days of work, because they don't want to get fired and they need the money.

Some of these articles are AP, who I ALWAYS find to be totally manipulative, still, the tone all three strike is that they're not real excited about the prospects of this so called boycott (happening on International Communists day, by the way.)

But here are three articles to look over. It might not be necessary to find out which places are allegedly "closing", of course I'm aware these articles might be written to reduce expectations, but I don't see a lot of benefit in that vis-a-vis a successful boycott. But I'll keep looking:

Article #1

Article #2

Article #3
