Then I say we should oblige them. If you're going to wave the Mexican flag, yet live under the umbrella of american opportunity, you're nothing more than trash...and we all know what happens to trash. Liberals recycle it.

On July 20, 22 young illegal immigrants in caps and gowns entered the Hart Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C., and began sit-ins in the offices of several senators. Twelve soon returned to the atrium, where they formed a circle around a banner reading "Undocumented and Unafraid." Refusing to be moved, the students were arrested by Capitol Police, as were nine others who had stayed put in the offices of Sen. John McCain and Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Less than two miles away, a similar protest by a separate but allied group was taking place at Lafayette Square in front of the White House. These students went a step further. Openly announcing their immigration status and giving their full names just across the Mall from Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters, they forced a difficult choice upon ICE officials.
Take no action, and ICE would undermine the law. But come down hard by deporting the students, many of them still teenagers, and it would risk drawing overwhelming public outcry.
These individuals—plus several hundred more high school and college students of illegal status—had come to the capital to call for passage of the floundering Dream Act. Dream, the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, co-sponsored by 36 senators, including Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) and Richard Lugar (R., Ind.), would offer temporary residency to students who arrived in the U.S. illegally as minors if they attend college. It would grant them permanent residency upon graduating.

And yet people scoff and call me a fool when I say the republic is almost lost...
Why should they be afraid, they have Dictator Obama on their side. They together can hunt we American citizens down and fine us for not buying health insurance for them.
How ‘bout a “dream” act for Americans BEFORE we start worrying about these lowlife, Che’-loving illegal aliens?
It is my guess that they are all American Citizens and know they cannot be deported.
Where is President Eisenhower when you need him?
Why should they be afraid, they have Dictator Obama on their side.
Actually, they have had every American president for the last 50 years on their side.
Yeah, right, more like overbearing whiny liberal media outcry.
Then I say we should oblige them. If you're going to wave the Mexican flag, yet live under the umbrella of american opportunity, you're nothing more than trash...and we all know what happens to trash. Liberals recycle it.
Political correctness is bringing this once great country to its destruction. Why do we have so many laws if we’re not going to enforce them?
I watched the American government arrest 13,000 American citizens and put them in detention centers in 1971.
They can do it when they want to.
-just found this dream activists "press release":
KC undocumented students arrested on Capitol Hill
Washington D.C.- Tuesday, July 20, three undocumented Kansas City residents were arrested and now risk deportation for participating in a sit-in to urge congressional leadership to pass the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act as a stand-alone bill—a narrowly tailored, bipartisan bill which would grant immigrant youth a path to citizenship.Myrna Orozco, Diana Martinez, and Ricardo Quinones, Kansas City residents and members of the KS/MO DREAM Alliance, are three of over 20 immigrant youth from all over the country participating in the action today at the Hart and Russell Senate buildings.

I would guess they are illegals rather than just anchor babies otherwise they would not need to protest for additional free benefits... Of course they could just be anchor baby activists with allegiance to illegals above that of any allegiance to the USA...
“I watched the American government arrest 13,000 American citizens and put them in detention centers in 1971.”
What was that about?
You know those demonstrations and arrests that every one gets excited about? How about this one?
“10,000 Federal troops were quickly moved to various locations in the Washington, D.C. area. At one point, so many soldiers and marines were being moved into the area from bases along the East Coast that troop transports were landing at the rate of one every three minutes at Andrews Air Force Base in suburban Maryland, about 15 miles from the White House. Among these troops were 4,000 paratroopers from the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division These troops were to back up the 5,100 D.C. Metropolitan Police, 2,000 D.C. National Guard and Nixon’s internal security forces[who?]that were already in place. Every monument, park and traffic circle in the nations capital had troops protecting its perimeters. Paratroopers and marines deployed via helicopter to the grounds of the Washington Monument.
I think immigration could have gotten a few thousand of them today in my town at the backpack, school supplies, immunization give away hosted by the school district.
I dare them to try it anywhere near Joe Arpaio’s office.
About the only thing flaunting one’s illegal alien invader status in the offices of Senators, or even the Senate floor is going to get them is voter registration cards and a hug.
Look at post 17, when the media labeled "Greatest Generation" wanted to crush freedom, they did. They did what they wanted, constitution be damned.
The left does not have the power and electorate that they did in the pre boomer era. Since the late 1970s the "greatest generation" has lost their leftist power as boomers became old enough to participate in society.
Now we are dealing with liberalism (not radical leftism), and with luck we can slow it, we can't win because in the end the Catholics and the left won by creating the 1965 immigration law, but we do what we can.
