PROBLEMA PRO-ILLEGAL MARCHERS ALIENATING AMERICA (psychotic, provocative behavior foments crackdown)
NY POST ^ | May 2, 2006 | JOHN PODHERETZ

Posted on 05/02/2006 8:10:53 AM PDT by Liz

The organizers of yesterday's "Day Without Immigrants," who are also responsible for other recent demonstrations demanding special treatment for illegal aliens, have betrayed not only the people they claim to be helping but everyone else who is trying to find a rational and civil answer to an incredibly complex issue.

With their psychotically provocative behavior, these radical lunatics of the Left are moving the ideological goalposts of this debate toward the restrictionist Right. Unless they wise up, by the time they're through every politician in this country outside the inner cities will be paying lip service at the very least to a serious crackdown on illegal immigration.

You can see it happening already. Even before yesterday's shameful frolics, Hillary Clinton had begun talking about building a border fence - where, back in March, she was taking a soft line, complaining about Republican legislation in shockingly grand terms and comparing illegal immigrants to Jesus Christ. With her finger stuck way high up in the air to feel the distant breezes of 2008, Hillary realized that the air currents were changing.

Maybe a few months ago it seemed like good politics to be courting Hispanic voters by offering words of support for illegals. But Americans in both parties are now paying far more attention to the issue, and polling shows they just don't like the idea that the laws of the United States are being violated with impunity.

Being soft on illegal immigration is beginning to look like the new millennium's version of being soft on crime.

Soft on illegal aliens looks more and more to me like treason, waving the white flag to the riffraff and terrorists set to invade us. I wish I had recorded the name of the Hispanic politician who during an earlier demonstration in Chicago said something like, "We are taking over."

All of this demonstrates the mindset of invasion rather than immigration-----and The Plan by illegals: plotting to go to war against the US, to overthrow the US government, and to allow a foreign government(s) to occupy the several states. Here's what we have to look forward to:

Reconquista Armando Navarro 'Ethnic Studies' Professor at the University of California, Riverside Anti-American, Fifth-Column Menace. "Ladies and Gentlemen, what this means (the immigration bill) is a transfer of power, it means control, and it is the young people, the people who are now moving to develop an agenda for the twenty first century they are going to be in a position to really make the promise of what the Chicano movement was all about in terms of self-determination, in terms of empowerment, even in the terms of an Aztlan...."
