Thousands of Hispanics rally in protest to Anti-Immigration Bills
KYTX CBS 19 ^ | February 22, 2011 | Jennifer Black

Thousands of Hispanics rally Tuesday at the state capitol in protest of dozens of so-called "Anti-Immigration" bills.

With song and signs, their message to lawmakers was loud.

The massive group was made up of Hispanics from across the state and students from the University of Texas.

They were there to protest bills filed mostly by Republican lawmakers.

One would require teachers to report undocumented students, another bill cracks down on employers of illegal immigrants and then there's the controversial Arizona-style immigration law.

"We do not want it in Pasadena. We don't want it in Houston, we don't want it any where in Texas. It causes a lot of racists and that's what it is. The bottom line is it is racist," commented Alesia Perez of Pasadena, TX.

Census data released last week now shows that Hispanics make up more than 1/3 of the state's population.

Is it just me, or is the marching on State Capitols by foreigners (not U.S. Citizens) any different than a foreign invasion and threat to the USA?

Is it an anti immigration bill or anti illegal immigration bill? There’s a big difference.

If the U.S. GOVERNMENT was doing its job, we wouldn’t be seeing foreigners telling us how to run our country at these “rallies”.

And that's going to be a problem since Messkins breed like rabbits producing even more third-worlders and dumboRATs.

And it's not just the illegals. Even those "with papers" remain steadfastly loyal to their cesspool of the mother country. They brazenly refuse to assimilate to American culture and insist that we speak their jibberish.

We simply can't afford to go the route of California.

Well they yell we should go back to Europe. I say for them to go back to Spain. Those people are descendants of the Spanish Conquistadors who murdered the original inhabitants of what is now Mexico. It was the Mexica they killed or interbred with. The Spanish conquistadors besieged México-Tenochtitlan in 1521, it was almost completely destroyed. The name Mexico was used only to refer to the city, and later to a province within New Spain.

These people are not the Tenochtitlan. They're Spanish.

Real easy way to end the illegal immigration problem in the United States - make illegally entering the United States a class I felony with a punishment of life in prison, and if you illegally enter the United States of America and commit a crime while you are here, you will face a penalty of death, then give notice they have thirty days (30) to return to their country of origin. After thirty (30) days is up, prosecute every illegal alien left in the United States of America to the full extent of the law!

OK folks, at what point do people who support the Constitution and the rule of law sacrifice by taking some time off from work to rally with the same or greater frequency and with equal or greater numbers as a counteraction against all these socialists and Communists who seek to destroy both? When do people stop using the excuse they can’t defy the socialists during the week because the former group has to work? When will people realize if they remain in their own little world of work, the kids and paying the bills they will lose all their Constitutional freedoms and those of future generations?

Same thing happened to a Filipino friend of mine who woke up on the situation. The mexicans here in L.A. refuse to speak English when talking to a non-white and they more than assume in an arrogant fashion that if you are not gringo, you should speak espanol.

Bad timing. Do they actually believe illegal immigration trumps political power struggles with unions?

The crux of the problem is that the marchers aren't all illegals or foreigners. Even those properly documented Mexicans are largely sympathetic to "the cause". Ethnicity trumps just about everything else.

Take LULAC and its counsel Domingo Garcia. He was born in Midland and grew up in Dallas. In spite of being an American citizen and a native Texan, this vile trial lawyer's loyalties are with his ethnic group and to Mexico. And, need it be said, he's a Democrat.

Documentation does not necessarily mean assimilation.

If so they are all in Dallas, Houston, and Austen.

When jobs got scarce they largely left north Texas.

If so they [Messkins] are all in Dallas, Houston, and Austen.

Unfortunately, their swarming pattern also infects what used to be nice places like Lubbock where Mexicans are now 28% of the population. Amarillo is a bit better off with "only" 22% of the population comprised of wetbacks.

When jobs got scarce they largely left north Texas.

How I wish that were so! There's still far too many here. Even in the farflung nicer suburbs like Southlake, I see them everywhere.

Which brings to mind an incident from the past weekend. While standing in line at the grocery store's express checkout lane (15 items), a big, fat, sweaty Messkin had at least 60 items. And then he paid in cash, laboriously counting out the exact change with pennies, nickels and dimes. They just have no sense of obedience to laws and American customs.

They need to go home and march against their own country—the one which is so extremely corrupt and dysfunctional that they created such a desperate, ignorant population who can’t even have the basic things in life and can’t feed their children.

They should be angry, but the Marxists direct their anger at the most compassionate people in the history of the world. They are the Caucasians who they so detest. The useful idiots want to help destroy this nation for the one world goons. Send them home to march against the government of Mexico. Destroy the Mexicans who rape and murder and put their jackboots on the necks of the people.

ICE would be there hauling them away in 18 wheelers.
