The author makes himself look like an idiot for confusing MS-13 with "Mexican criminal gamgs." This is an important story that the author has helped to marginalize.
Illegals, technically speaking,;-), still can’t vote.
A fearfully (or vengefully) motivated block of AA voters will definitely make a dent in a Dem’s standing in their beloved MSM coverage.
They WILL kowtow to that kind of PC pressure. It will let them take the steps necessary to correct the situation while giveing them cover from the “R” card. (Unless it comes from Geraldo).
It’s time to remind our Republican Congressional leaders about page three of the Republican Party’s Platform Statement.

Here’s my gentle nudge. It’s only been a week so I have not yet received a reply. One thing I should have said but didn’t think to include is ‘Words without actions are fantasy’.

Dear Congresswoman Bono-Mack,
The recent inclusion of Immigration, National Security and the Rule of Law in the Republican Party Platform Statement was very heartening and I urge you to take action to see that your fellow Republican members of Congress not only publicize that stand but also ensure the promise of upholding the rule of law by enforcing the existing United States Code Title 8, Chapter 12 provisions against employers of illegal aliens.
Included in the platform statement is the plain but very forceful statement, “We oppose amnesty.” I cannot tell you how strongly I and millions of other Americans feel about that issue. The past has proven beyond doubt that amnesty for those who have entered our Country illegally only serves as an impetus for others to do the same thing.
As you know, illegal entry not only hurts our Nation but it also delays the entry of those waiting and hoping to emigrate here legally. The kind of people we want and need.
That Party Platform Statement strikes a most resonant chord with me.
No, unlike tens of thousands of other Americans whose lives have been tragically affected by those criminals crossing our borders willy-nilly, I’ve not lost a loved one because of an illegal alien street gang shooting or an illegal driving drunk and causing another hit and run tragedy but I have lost my job.
And now, because I dared to call Immigration Control and Enforcement when five contract employees without any identification and with little ability to speak English arrived at the work site where I was assigned as a security guard, I am out of work and called stupid.
Stupid for having the audacity to take a stand against crimes against my Country, crimes against my fellow citizens and crimes against our future.
The one dis-heartening part of this episode is learning that some people have grown so cynical their first question was ‘have you learned your lesson ?’
Congresswoman, do you want to be remembered as being part of a political leadership that contributed to the developing cynical and fear generating mind-set that asks not ‘how many FBI agents did it take to lock up the corporate criminals?’ but ‘have you learned your lesson?’
I don’t believe you do. That’s why I’m asking you to light a fire under your fellow Republicans. Encourage them to announce the platform statement, take ownership of it and proclaim proudly to the world, We are America and we do stand for Liberty and Reason. But, first we stand for each other.
That is what I’d like to hear from a person aspiring to any elected office.
Tell me, am I being stupid? Politically naive? Unrealistic in a modern deal making world?
I don’t think I am. I want to believe I’m optimistic and hopeful. I know there are powerful forces at work throughout our government intent on turning our society on it’s head. But, they can only be successful if their behind the scenes efforts remain shrouded in the fog of double speak.
Congresswoman, don’t let the Republican Party Platform Statement be reduced to meaningless double speak.
For my part, I have submitted a complaint with the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement regarding the matter and their initial response to that complaint stated they are going to open an investigation after they receive the details I recently supplied them with. I trust the truth will emerge.
In the meantime, despite the recent publicized increase of activity against some employers of illegals, illegals are still favored over Americans by unscrupulous employers in too many places.
You surely know the compelling unemployment statistics better than I do and you know that the entry of cheaper, illegal labor has contributed to those statistics.
I’m hoping that a public announcement of the Republican Party’s committment to workplace enforcement will cause enough fear in those lawbreaking employers that they send the illegals packing and restore any diminished wages to their previous levels that Americans once worked for.
But, the Republican Party must do it’s part if they want to be taken seriously by the American voters.
Publicize the Party’s stand and prove to the American people that the wait for John McCain to catch up to and then lead us in this battle was worth it.
Sincerely,
Yeah, I signed my name but I’m a madman not a crazy man. I don’t need more spam emails or any late night phone calls from outraged open border advocates or Chambers of Commerce members. Wait... silly me, I’m repeating myself.
What I’ve seen of Corey Booker I like—hope he has some success in the future as a politician.
