Bush set for immigration speech

BUSH SET FOR IMMIGRATION SPEECH WHITE HOUSE President Bush is getting set for a prime-time speech on immigration tomorrow night. Aides note the 8 p-m, Eastern Time, speech will be the president's first from the Oval Office that does not involve Iraq and the war on terrorism. And they say that reflects Bush's "passion" on immigration. He's speaking as the Senate is poised to clear a compromise measure including his idea for a guest worker program. However, a rival House bill is limited to a border crackdown, and meshing the two won't be easy. Stand Up For America !

"We have room for but one flag, the American flag...
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

If it's there, I still don't see it... this is the section where it would appear -- if it existed:

The Mexicans who, in the territories aforesaid, shall not preserve the character of citizens of the Mexican Republic, conformably with what is stipulated in the preceding article, shall be incorporated into the Union of the United States. and be admitted at the proper time (to be judged of by the Congress of the United States) to the enjoyment of all the rights of citizens of the United States, according to the principles of the Constitution; and in the mean time, shall be maintained and protected in the free enjoyment of their liberty and property, and secured in the free exercise of their religion without; restriction

The Minuteman Muster (Border Observation and Fence Building Operations)

Outdoor World Retreat
Boulevard, California

Many thanks to those who dedicated so much time and effort to our cause. We have been able to move this debate from the basement into the forefront of American politics in about a year. Now Illegal Immigration is the #1 topic on the minds of America. There is still so much work to be
done though. If our politicians follow suit, any legislation will not be approved until year end and will take several years to implement if at all. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT! Your country needs you! Volunteer for a Border Watch, we guarantee you will never be the same again.

Ongoing Surveillance and Reporting Operations at Illegal Alien Day Labor Centers
2 locations:

Burbank, California (next to the new Burbank Home Depot store)
Glendale, California (next to the Glendale Home Depot store)

Ongoing operations at various times and dates (contact organizer for more information)

Illegal alien day labor sites allow unscrupulous employers to hire illegal immigrants at exploitation wages, instead of Americans (and legal residents) at the respectable wages most Americans demand. Less than 6 percent of day laborers entered the United States legally, per a
comprehensive UCLA study on day labor sites. Home Depot has financially supported illegal alien day labor centers in both Burbank and Glendale (as well as many other locations across the country), in clear violation of
federal immigration laws. These ongoing surveillance operation involve photographing and reporting to federal and state authorities, and several websites, those employers illegally hiring illegal immigrants. The
importance of these sorts of actions cannot be overstated.

A few dedicated activists can effectively close down a day labor site as these un-American contractors/employers rarely pick up illegal immigrants when informed they will be reported to law enforcement.

21st Century Paul Revere Ride Summer 2006

Cross-country bicycle ride starts on May 22, 2006 and ends in D.C. on September 15, 2006

We're looking for volunteers, three RVs and drivers and bicycle riders to be part of this historic event. The 21st Century Paul Revere Riders major objective is to connects the dots for Americans of all walks of life, in small towns and big cities across America, as to the dangers of
unending legal and illegal immigration. Three teams of four bicycle riders (Northern tier; Southern tier and Central tier) will reach millions of Americans via 100 - 200 radio interviews, 200 TV interviews and an estimated 400 to 500 newspaper interviews from small town dailies to big city papers. We expect to reach in excess of 50 million Americans concerning the dangers of continued immigration-driven population growth that exceeds carrying capacity within the United States. Riders on three separate routes will cover 48 state capitols on their way to Washington, DC. We expect to impact the 2006 elections focusing on immigration.

Besides bicycle ride volunteers, we need three donated RVs of any size. RV drivers may go the whole 3 1/2 months or leave off after a month and allow the next team of drivers. Or, we might go two weeks each team depending on how many volunteers and RVs.

Don't sweat it anymore. It's not there!

 

[nicmarlo]

Rob Allyn, who served Bush in his run for the Texas governorship and later his run for the US presidency, is now working for the Mexican president as his public relations consultant. Allyn heads one of the largest PR firm in the US, Allyn & Company.

Wow!

[nicmarlo]

if these coming benefits are so great that I may faint with joy, they shouldn't be so hesitant to fill all of us in on the details. Like why I should be delighted to know that American wages are going to drop to meet Mexico's rising wages...

Group Protests Amnesty For Undocumented Immigrants

Just saw this on the news:

CBS) CHICAGO The battle over immigration took center stage in Chicago Thursday.

CBS 2's Rafael Romo reports this time, it was a small but vocal group protesting any tupe of leniency for illegal immigrants.

"No amnesty now, or later," demonstrators chanted.

They call themselves Citizens Against Amnesty, and when it comes to illegal immigration, they say enough is enough.

"This is to wake up America to the fact that we are being invaded by criminals who want us to pay for the invasion," said Nita Shinn.

The march started at Union Park at noon with about a dozen protesters.

By the time they reached downtown, there were 39 protesters, a big contrast to the hundreds of thousands of people who participated in the pro-immigration marches.

"I think there's a big difference because there's not a lot of people who agree with them," said pro-immigrant marcher Samantha Torres.

The group says if you allow people to break the law by entering the country illegally, then everybody else is entitled to do the same.

"We have to let pimps, prostitutes, everybody who breaks the law in order to make money, break the law in order to make money," said Citizens Against Amnesty's Gerald Shinn.

Meanwhile, at the U.S.-Mexico border, President Bush toured the stretch known for having the highest number of illegal crossings.

And even as he spoke about a more strict enforcement of the border, he called again for a temporary worker program.

"A temporary worker program would reduce the number of people trying to sneak across. A temporary worker program would reduce the appeal of human smugglers," Bush said.

The president also said that deporting 12 million undocumented immigrants in the country is impossible.

He also said people who haven't committed any crimes, who have families in the United States and who have been here long enough should be allowed to pay a fine, learn English and stay in the country.

He also called on Congress to have a comprehensive immigration bill by the end of the month.

[nicmarlo]

The president also said that deporting 12 million undocumented immigrants in the country is impossible.

Not one at a time; we find Saddam in a hole in the ground, in another country. We keeping finding each of those who support him, one by one. Why is that same work impossible in the United States of America? And once you start getting them out of here, one by one, the rest will start leaving on their own.

[Arizona Carolyn]

One of the ammendements the senate is keeping in their bill allows illegal aliens to get retroactive social security benefits for money earned on stolen ID -- in other words, they will be allowed to benefit from yet another felony.

[nicmarlo]

Thanks potlatch!

Mexico warns US over troops on border by MadIvan- MEXICO warned last night that it would file lawsuits in the United States if National Guard troops on the border become directly involved in detaining immigrants.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....I see where "our" President gets his marching orders from.

[Smartass]

The Social Security system is supposedly going broke anyway. Maybe the Senate knows more than the SS dooms day pundits. The only thing I can see that will happen, will be the time-line for going broke being escalated to a sooner date.

When that day comes, when the SS checkos bounce, will the Mexican flags be brought out again on our streets, demanding solvency for a people that paid nothing, and expecting a dollar in benefits? Also the big laugher will come, when these illegals find out, that their hero's, the liberal, socialist, Democrats were 100% responsible for our Social Security system heading for bankruptcy.

I've got it. Maybe El Presidente Vincente Fox, and the Mexican Congress can setup a SS system for their people working in the North and sending billions of Yankee dollars home...nahhh, bad idea!

[Arizona Carolyn]

Were you just watching O'Reilly by any chance? VERY good segment on the Hispanic gang problems spilling out across the country: Large and small towns, places that never had gang issues before now have gang problems (our town could be counted there); more violent than the African Americans -- things like chopping hands off with a machete; twice the drop out rate from school; twice the pregnancy rate of teens.... and more.
