Buy A Brick, Secure Our Nation! COLLEGE REPUBLICANS SEND BRICKS to SENATORS to PROTEST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and AMNESTY On Monday, May 1, 2006 the UNC College Republicans will sell bricks on campus to promote activism against illegal immigration and guest worker amnesty. The event will take place from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM, around the Belk Tower.
Five dollars will guarantee a brick with a customized message, and will cover shipping costs to the offices of Senators Bill Frist, Elizabeth Dole, and Richard Burr. Individuals may also choose to send bricks to Senators Edward Kennedy and John McCain, sponsors of an immigration reform bill that would grant the rights reserved for citizens to illegal immigrants. The mailed bricks will allow the public to symbolically encourage legislators to secure the United States border.
The College Republicans' protest will portray their disapproval and disgust with those who break the laws of this nation upon their first entry into the United States . "America is a nation founded by immigrants, yet America is founded on lawful principles, which as citizens we ought to abide by and enforce" Said Vice Chairwoman Amanda Anderson. It will also encourage participants to exercise civic responsibility, free speech, and political activism against illegal immigration. The program is designed to support existing brick mailing efforts like the Send-A-Brick Project, and to exercise the civic duty to demand elected officials appropriately address the American need for border security and immigration reform.
Picket signs will be available to those who wish to take part in the event, and will be wrought with such slogans as, "Freedom of Assembly for U.S. Citizens Only!", in response to the multiple thousands illegal immigrants who thought it appropriate to crowd city streets and demand American rights. Other slogans will include: "Illegal Means Illegal!", "Stop Guest Worker Amnesty", "Secure America Now", and "Enforce Our Laws, Enforce Our Borders".
"We must let our voices ring loud and clear," said Chairman Erin Karriker. "We must let our elected representatives know that we will not stand for an amnesty proposal that will grant illegal immigrants the rights afforded to citizens, when those individuals have already shown their disdain for the laws of the land." Granting amnesty, he said, is a display of weakness on behalf of both political parties. Continuing his comments, Karriker says that granting amnesty and enacting a guest worker program before securing the border is a dereliction of duty, and only encourages more illegal behavior. "We secure our borders now!"

Republicans with balls - thank you college republicans - maybe there is hope for this party after all.
link doesn't work!
President Bush has a Mexican sister in law, but this is no good reason to try to destroy our country with illegal aliens. We lack jobs for our own people and we lack health care for our own people. Why has Bush not thought of telling Mexican President Foxe to take better care of his own people? It seems like President Bush is out to destory the people of the USA, to rob them on every hand.

Some help for those of us on the Frontlines in So Cal....

PEOPLE WHO DON"T OBEY IMMIGRATION LAWS DON"T OBEY OTHER LAWS!

When I attended UNC, we had a BELL Tower.
UNC CHARLOTTE my friend
the actual website is unccgop.com not org. Sorry about that.
bump
Ah, well that DOES make a difference! I didn't see Charlotte in the article, though. Perhaps I should have inferred that from the Union County reference...
These people are racist, sexist, homophobes!
I say we round them all up and put them in special camps where we train them about goodness of diversity.
(/sarcasm)
Surely you didn't think this was UNC Chapel Hill.
I was a grad student at UNC-CH. I can recall a Young Republicans group on campus. In fact, I had several of them in a calculus class that I taught.
Yes, there was a Young Republicans group on campus -- I was chairman in the Spring 1997 semester. As I recall, they were eventually absorbed into/replaced by the College Republicans sometime after I graduated.
