So Americans are getting tired of illegals killing them? Bush brain is clueless. Illegals are starting to feel some heat. Where? Are they leaving by the bus load back to their countries? The only improvement I’ve seen is one car dealer took down him mesican flags.

Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups

Calling for immigration control is now a hate crime.

If Bush and the Congress was serious about the problem a fence could be built in NO TIME FLAT

The technology ain’t complicated

The first PRIORITY is too stop the Flow

Bush is as unaware of this as he was to the Harriet Myers’ nomination . He needs to be smacked on the head to get his attention

bush is in serious denial.

This isn't a "legal immigration" issue; Americans are concerned about ILLEGAL immigration, a fact he just won't accept.

"Legal immigration is one of the top concerns of the American people, and Congress's failure to act on it is a disappointment," said President Bush,

“...what appears to be growing discrimination against Latinos and a surge of xenophobia unseen since the last big wave of immigration in the early 20th century.”

ABSOLUTE UNADULTERATED DIVISIVE LIBERAL DEMORALIZING NONESENSE

"Even though immigration is always unsettling and somewhat controversial, we haven't had this kind of intensity and widespread, deep-seated anger for almost 100 years."

The key difference between then and now is that the immigration people are rebelling against today is ILLEGAL.

I have no doubt the PTB want hate crimes to emerge. They hope it will create a backlash toward securing the border. Otherwise, if they were really concerned about racial tensions, they'd just enforce the border eliminating the bulk of the source causing this tension.

“”Eighty five percent (85%) of the population is against amnesty and wants border security strengthed before other immigration issues are addressed”

Hard to knock 85% but our Administration could care less.

His idea to is make illegals legal. That is his solution. I want to see what happens if mesican trucks start coming here. It will make Americans furious. More death and mayham. The outrage over the failure of the federal government on this issue will grow.

“bush is in serious denial.

I have to say that NOBODY can be in this much denial, or this obtuse
unless they are mentally imbalanced. Unless of course, all of Bush’s aides have kept him completely in the dark. The widely known Rassmussen poll shows 85% want the borders fixed first. If you discount 5% stupid, and 10% Marxist, then that means 100% want this invasion to stop!

Bush HAS to know that America is being invaded, and that many are criminals to boot.

A take on things to come:

http://www.americanpatrol.com/07-FEATURES/070816-VIOLENCE-COMING/070816-AsISeeItGS_.html

As I see it
Glenn Spencer — August 16, 2007

Rovesputin has left the White House leaving Bush and the rest of his lackeys like Chertoff, Gonzales and Aguilar to deal with rising civil unrest coming from the Latino (read Mexican) illegal alien community.

Marching through the streets has been a favorite vehicle for Reconquistas, especially when the streets run through the heart of the barrio, as is the case in Los Angeles.

On October 15, 1994, between 70,000 and 250,000 people, primarily Latino, marched in downtown Los Angeles against Proposition 187 (Later, Mexican President Zedillo joined with California Governor Davis to kill the measure.)

These people can get violent, as they did when they attacked us on July 4, 1996 at the federal building in Westwood. The attacks continued, including an attack on July 4, 2000 when Roger Barnett came to our annual rally and on December 8, 2001 when we protested plans by the City of Anaheim to accept Matricula Consular cards.

Others have been attacked as well, but nothing on a large scale, at least not recently.

In the coming months, the Mexicans are going to be on the march again, but this time they face broad resistance from across America. What will happen? As they say, “anything can happen, and usually does.”

I was first struck by the potential for violence when I saw TV helicopter images of thousands of Mexicans (Hispanics) tearing down my old neighborhood during the 1992 Rodney King Riots.

“At a Cabinet meeting today, Attorney General William P. Barr said nearly one-third of the first 6,000 [Los Angeles] riot suspects arrested and processed through the court system were illegal aliens, according to a senior Administration official. Barr has not proposed any special effort to have them deported, a Justice Department spokesman said.” — Washington Post, May 6, 1992

(In fact, I have footage in my archives that show that the Rodney King riot really started when a man sporting a large Mexican flag overturned a kiosk in front of LAPD’s Parker Center.)

All the conditions are there for serious trouble ahead. The illegal aliens have proven that they can become violent, and they are very frustrated. Our Secretary of Homeland Security who fuels the fire of that frustration with public utterances that embolden the invaders has made conditions worse.

If there is widespread civil unrest, and even rioting this time it may not end so well. I can imagine a “takeover” of Los Angeles spurred on by the Spanish language media and the Reconquista Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. If that happens, will Bush send in the National Guard, or will he chose to negotiate with the insurgents?

If we are to head this off, the Federal Communications Commission must put Spanish language broadcasters on notice that any attempt to foment unrest and violence will result in a shut down of their operations. Governor Schwarzenegger must inform Villaraigosa that similar actions on his part will result it a state takeover of the City of Los Angeles.

I don’t care what county an illegal invader is from I want them caught and deported. No more free lunch on my dime. I am sick of their drunk driving fatalities, raping, robbing, mugging, or murdering of American citizens. We have far too many Americans willing to do this on their own. To all invaders I say, “Go away and never come back!”

"I group the Southern Poverty Law Center right along with CAIR, the Ku Klux Klan, and Hezbollah. Birds of a feather, though some a bit more flashy than others.

I agree. Morris Dees and that bunch regard any organization to the right of Castro as an extremist hate group.

I always marvel at the lofty names these creeps give themselves to camoflage their real agenda.

They’re next door so more of them are here... it’s a no-brainer. Why can’t they get it through their thick skulls... (being a neighbor and all), that we have terrorists in this country... and all our immigration enforcement should be focused on those who should not be here whether by expired visas, not attending the college they signed up for, terror links (as in came through a country not blocked with false ID and checking their own ranks for those who sell ID. They should not have to use ALL our resources because they don’t grasp right from wrong and what law means. If they love Mexico or whereever so much, go back there... take the kids. If they don’t get we were attacked and have illegals/immigrants with terror intentions trying to harm this country, I don’t want them here anyway.

Mr. Nontgomery,

How come you writers NEVER attack, let alone mention, racist groups like The Race (La Raza)

when talking about hate groups? How about gangs like MS31? Why is it considered “Racist” to attack ILLEGAL ALIENS? And when did breaking a law become a race? Seems to me the USA has a high number of other ethnic groups that are here illegally.

When the Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center (ASPL), when they use terms like “nativist extremist” , why don’t you ask them what it means to them, and how it is different from a Patriot standing up to an invasion from Mexico and the attack on the Great American Culture? ASPL sounds Stalinistic in that it is name calling and trying to stop and discussion of the ILLEGAL ALIEN INVASION. They offer so solutions or coherent arguments, they just attack those with morals.

In other word you seem quick to attack Patriots and Conservative, and never really question the Divisionist who want to Balkanize America.

Why not attack MALDEF for circumventing the will of the people? Why is it that the people vote for something and unelected judges and law firms override these elections? Of course they never attack real un-Constitutional laws, like hate speech, gun control, and sanctuary cities - would you not consider that hypocritical?

What would be nice if your follow up questions were are direct against Liberals as they are against Conservative. Liberal groups can throw out misleading statements, name calling, or outright lies, and you never seem to question them. To be a fair journalist you need to question both sides, otherwise your nothing put a propagandist or as what Lenin refers to as a Useful Idiot.

Question of the decade!!!!

All indications are that Bush would negotiate with the insurgents, which would embolden illegals all across America
to riot. One can only hope he doesn’t.
