Are these letters ‘authentic’ like the majority of Social Security numbers the illegals use?
So, will 1,000,000 letters all signed “Juan Valdez” trump the millions of phone calls, letters, and emails the Senate and the White House received from actual Americans?
One wonders how many of those "million" are legit, and how many are from actual citizens?
Really? A million legal residents and citizens signed some letter? Why don’t I believe him?
If Brian Ross was a conservative, we would be hearing about checks delivered to the “DJ” from the RNC or Karl Rove. I hope an enterprising blogger finds out who paid for this little piece of theater.
Mel Martinez is really hurting not only the hard-working Cuban-American community, but legal immigration as well. I think after this, most Americans will support a cap or a moratorium on legal immigration until this mess gets sorted out. Martinez is not helping the folks who sincerely want to come here and assimilate, and I think most Americans will not support a presidential candidate with a Hispanic surname.
We already have one, you dolt.
Now go pound sand, Piolin.
There *will* be some kind of amnesty, even if it’s the de facto amnesty we have now. The issue is the lack of credibility in the government doing anything about the *next* 12 to 20 million illegals. I’d be willing to trade amnesty for border enforcement, but it’s like ‘land for peace’. Once amnesty, like land, is given away it’s forever. Border enforcement, like peace, can be revoked at anytime. The bottom line is government not willing to enforce borders. This is much much bigger than one bill. This is an attitude embedded in government and it will be almost impossible to weed out.
Private meeting?
Do these congressmen represent a private, unknown group of people?
I don't understand why *our* representatives are allow by law, while on the job, to meet with anyone privately behind closed doors.
WOW, he only got a million to sign up for freebies. Now that’s a statement. I am not sure Democrats want to spread this around.
Last one in the hammock has to pay.
(Which would be the worst tragedy to befall the USA since the first CW.)
very interesting someone would attempt to justify an invasion of anothers’ country with 1,000,000 letters....

So hearrived in the US in 1986 as an illegal alien, how did he lagalize? Amnesty ? Could his application need some scrutiny?
He's been here all this time and doesn't want to be a citizen?
What many have been saying is that when we “legalize” large numbers of people, it gives others an incentive to come here in anticipation that they, too, will eventually be “legalized”. There is no incentive for the illegal criminal alien to stay out of the country or to go home.
This is just one example. Amnesty was granted in 1986. Eddie “PiolÃÂÃÂn” Sotelo is one of at least 12 million others who came after 1986 in anticipation of another amnesty. If we “legalize” these 12 million, how many more will come in the next wave?
What will be the impact on our property taxes, state and local taxes which will have to be increased to deal with the increased populations due to the extended families they will be bringing in? What impact will they have on our overcrowded prisons and jails...6-7% of any population ends up in prison or jail. What is the impact on our already overburdened hospitals like the Regional Medical Center in Memphis?
We will need new schools to teach their kids, and more teachers, more cops, more prison guards........ NO one has said a word about these things.
Have the folks in DC considered all this?
Time to put pressure on your local officials as well.
A popular Spanish-language disc jockey began a cross-country trip Sunday to encourage Congress to overhaul the nation's immigration laws, planning to give 1 million supporting letters to lawmakers in Washington, D.C. Eduardo "Piolin" Sotelo, from the nationally syndicated show, "Piolin por la Manana," and several others traveling in his caravan left from a Mexican cultural landmark in downtown as several hundred fans and supporters cheered.
Sotelo said he would stop in several cities before his planned arrival in Washington D.C. on June 14.
Who is Sotelo? He's southern California's number one morning disc jockey and a former illegal alien who used fraudulent identification to work, but successfully evaded deportation. Here's his website.

The last time Sotelo was in the spotlight, his massive protests backfired--galvanizing immigration enforcement groups and quashing amnesty prospects last year.

A little story about the radio station El Piolín is heard on in the DC area. They have a “humor” feature they run that consists of one of them, “Juan Leche,” (this name is an obscenity, he explains his name is John Sperm in English), calling up a business whose employees don’t speak Spanish and making fun of whoever answers the phone, with more obscenities. It is one of the most racist and hateful things I’ve ever heard on the radio. If Don Imus would have done that he would have been gone long ago. They focus on blacks and asians, and get really, really sneering and snarky with the blacks. We can look forward to more of this when they take over.
