The American people are up in arms over the current push to legalize illegal migration from south of our border. But unless they are prepared to take up arms, they are likely to lose the battle over immigration reform.
(snip)
Washington is not listening - at least not to the American people. So who are they listening to?
(snip)
Democrats are fully behind illegal immigration and they have been for many years. It is a vital ingredient in their effort to build an unbeatable proletariat voting majority that will insure Democrat victories at the ballot box for decades to come.

Key political lobby groups are pushing your representatives to pass Amnesty, legalizing illegal migration and they are pushing much harder than you are pushing back.

He's right!
That’s right - the pro-open borders lobby....Nafta, remember that?
I saw a person in my grocery store last week wearing a tee shirt saying “Conservatives for Open Borders.”
I’d bet my life on it that she and her hubby were local farmers, and did research - illegals have a lot of support from pro-Nafta types.
I am beginning to think that the only way to get Washington to listen is to have another tea party, eh?
They certainly do not give a flying crap about what WE the PEOPLE have to say about the issue. Bush is effectively telling us all to shut up and quit b****ing about it.
Personally, I’ve written letters to my California congresspersons (ugh) and the turncoat republicans on the issue and I receive in response form letters telling me essentially not to worry my little head over such matters....
Is there any reason I should pay for low wages people that don’t belong here? It’s going to cost me a lot more than it is the employers. Ir may be cheap and controlled labor for them; but not for me.
The only way we are going to stop this is to withhold our money. They can’t go very far without money.

CFR is NOT a conservative organization in the least and CFR is who designed and promoted NAFTA as well as the North American Union and the Security and Prosperity Partnership between America, Mexico and Canada, signed by all three in March of 2003.

There is nothing conservative or pro-American about any of it. It is a wholly global socialist movement designed and promoted by CFR and the Trilateral Commission. Truth is stranger (and more dangerous) than fiction today.
But now you know what “compassionate conservative” means...
Politicans get letters and emails from us, but MONEY and POWER from them...
Still trying to figure out why they can’t hear us?
Not long ago I read an article saying that Muslim groups in Latin America are the fastest growing religious groups. The Catholic Church might be disappointed in how few of their pews will actually be filled by this.

This needs to be escalated from the sound-byte we say/they say status quo. The way I see it is that only Rush with the help of the very few politicians who are realistic and honest about this can do it.....there is no other catalyst capable of doing it.
Make illegal immigration unprofitable for companies, labor unions and the politicians they own, and illegal immigration will be solved...
Oh, I know why. That’s why I think it is coming up on time for another Tea Party.
Or “who” they are filled with...
which makes me wonder why we would even vote to put more of these selfless you know whats in power. It just seems useless., We KNOW the American people have spoken and so does everyone else but they are STILL not listening to us. Shame on President Bush. No one in my entire life has ever disappointed me so much. It’s still so unbelieveable. I can’t begin to describe how betrayed I feel.
a revolution of some sort is on the way... Which sort?
Bump!
The ENFORCE ACT.
Sen. INHOFE ANNOUNCES ONLINE PETITION FOR AMERICANS TO SUPPORT BORDER SECURITY AND NO-AMNESTY IMMIGRATION REFORM
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1850980/posts
Politicians don’t vote based on the demographics a decade hence, they vote based on the campaign contributions next year.
If you want to know who favors the maintenance of a large population of low income workers follow the money and the lobbying - it leads back to organized groups in the agricultural, manufacturing and service sectors.
The various business groups pushing such programs are completely out front about this, for example the US Chamber of Commerce states on their Web site that:
“In 2007, the Chamber will “push for comprehensive immigration reform that: increases security; has an earned pathway to legalization for undocumented workers already contributing to our economy, provided that they are law-abiding and prepared to embrace the obligations and values of our society...”
http://www.uschamber.com/issues/index/immigration/default
And I have no idea why people here concerned about such matters are spending time and energy on the issue of politicians supposedly pandering to Hispanics with almost no lobbying or financial clout when the actual sponsors of such legislation are business groups completely candid about the fact that they bringing intense pressure on Democrats and Republicans alike to further their interests.
How about a nationwide strike by citizens against illegal immigration? An internet-blog inspired strike has never been organized before, but that's no reason not to try in these dire circumstances.
We hear so much from La Raza and the clowns in DC about a day without illegals, when the truth of the matter is that we the "screw-ees" build and maintain the critical infrastructure that these useless parasites are infecting from above and below. Let's see how these political and economic viruses get along without a compliant host.
Bingo.
BUT...this article nicely makes the point that all of us who are against illegal immigration also have to come up with solutions beyond just "enforce" and "no amnesty"... What do we say in response to the threats of Microsoft, Oracle, etc., moving more operations overseas if we don't allow the cheap labor in here?
After all, if American companies are going to survive, they have to be competitive in the world market, and American wages are inflated relative to the world market unless we can provide some benefit in efficiency, productivity, innovation, etc. And do any of us deny that the American public school system (and modern culture) is not providing superior workers for our companies?
This is where we have to either accept lower wages, improve ourselves, or increase LEGAL immigration. This is where I think Rep. Tancredo is being short-sighted unless he can address the long-term implications.
