Framingham brothers crusade against illegal immigrants

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. --Jim and Joe Rizoli can't go very far during a walk through downtown Framingham without pointing out something Brazilian.

There's the bakery where Brazilian immigrants wait to be picked up for their jobs as day laborers, a Brazilian store where the Rizolis claim illegal immigrants work, and then there's the area near Town Hall where thousands of Brazilians clogged up city streets after their national soccer team won the World Cup.

It's all in a day's work for the Rizoli brothers, who have developed a reputation in their hometown as the anti-immigration twins.

For Joe and Jim, immigration has become a passion. The 53-year-old identical twins have spent the past three years talking to anyone who will listen about the problems they believe stem from illegal immigrants: taking away jobs from Americans, collecting benefits they are not entitled to, and not paying taxes.

Mexican Standoff

I don't know how everybody else feels about it, but to me I think Hispanic people in this country, legally or illegally, made a huge public relations mistake with their recent demonstrations.

I don't blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to the United States of America, as it is a truly wonderful place. But when the first thing you do when you set foot on American soil is illegal it is flat out wrong and I don't care how many lala land left heads come out of the woodwork and start trying to give me sensitivity lessons.

I don't need sensitivity lessons, in fact I don't have anything against Mexicans, I just have something against criminals and anybody who comes into this country illegally is a criminal and if you don't believe it try coming into America from a foreign country without a passport and see how far you get.

What disturbs me about the demonstrations is that it's tantamount to saying, "I am going to come into your country even if it means breaking your laws and there's nothing you can do about it."

It's an "in your face" action and speaking just for me I don't like it one little bit and if there were a half dozen pairs of gonads in Washington bigger than English peas it wouldn't be happening.

Where are you, you bunch of lilly livered, pantywaist, forked tongued, sorry excuses for defenders of The Constitution? Have you been drinking the water out of the Potomac again?

And even if you pass a bill on immigration it will probably be so pork laden and watered down that it won't mean anything anyway. Besides, what good is another law going to do when you won't enforce the ones on the books now?

And what ever happened to the polls guys? I thought you folks were the quintessential finger wetters. Well you sure ain't paying any attention to the polls this time because somewhere around eighty percent of Americans want something done about this mess, and mess it is and getting bigger everyday.

This is no longer a problem, it is a dilemma and headed for being a tragedy. Do you honestly think that what happened in France with the Muslims can't happen here when the businesses who hire these people finally run out of jobs and a few million disillusioned Hispanics take to the streets?

If you, Mr. President, Congressmen and Senators, knuckle under on this and refuse to do something meaningful it means that you care nothing for the kind of country your children and grandchildren will inherit.

But I guess that doesn't matter as long as you get re-elected.

Shame on you.

God Bless America

Charlie Daniels

The difference the other 260 million people sharing the nation with the invaders are not toothless French. Any widespread violent civil disturbance by an aggressive minority in the USA is likely to be met with equal, greater or overwhelming force by the much-put-upon natives of this nation. Either officially or by radicallized self-defense organizations. The seeds of such are implied in the Minutemen, which is why they are so hated by our globalist loving elites.

Be very careful how you choose your words; not all Hispanics are in favor of illegals. Not all Hispanics participated in demonstrations. There is a good segment of Hispanics who are speaking out against illegal immigration.

This fact is why the globalists are so determined to disarm us all.

Actually, I think they did the right thing for the rest of the population. The American people have been asleep, and these protests have awaken a lot of people. If the slumbering population only new how deep and serious this problem is. Boy!

Not only that; they(globalists) would probably bring in UN troops to put out what they would call 'ethnic cleansing'.

Gay marriage bans and flag burning bans will be popping up before the November election, so you'll forget all about this little borders thing.

And that is a very sad truth because they get hurt more then most in this ...

Just about all American have an old country nationality in there bloodline

...It's always a problem went people from the so called "Old Country" cause problem for the "new country"

Hispanics Americans are not the first American and won't be the last American to face that issue

I agree that those demonstrations by the illegal aliens and their enablers were a huge public relations mistake.

The 53-year-old identical twins have spent the past three years talking to anyone who will listen about the problems they believe stem from illegal immigrants: taking away jobs from Americans, collecting benefits they are not entitled to, and not paying taxes.

"The problem is they are just so demanding," said Jim. "They think they can come here and get whatever they want and that we have to give them everything."

"They are using this country," said Joe.

They're right too!

Like them, I too am AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

Local radio shows, Howie Carr and Michael Graham included, have been on the ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION issue persistently last few days, weeks and probably longer.
